Who're the Fault Lies.


1t is the fashion with some to de-
fend lynching and mob law in this
country by charging them to the
slowness of the law and its failure
to punish. When men bring for.
ward this argument they are care
full to meus.on notorious cases OF
escape from deserved punishment
! by chose guilty Of murder or other
capital or serious offenses. 1t is al
so claimed that lawyers are allowed
too much latitude in their attempts
to save their clients. Therefore,
these apologists for mob law reason,
it is not at all surprising that peo-
pie take the law in their own hands
lit would be rather surprising if
they did not.
In listening to such arguments as
these we are asked TO consider as the
main features of a trial the law. the
Judge, and the prisoners caunsel.
But there is something else to be
considered jury. If there is fail
ure Of justice, and we admit there is
in some cases, that failure is attrib-
utable to juries not dong their du
ty. And who constitute juries?
Why, the citizens of u community :;
you, good sirs, who criticise the ad-
ministration Of the law, you serve
as jurors or If you don't you ought
to. The reason many man es-
capes from punishmensis either be-
cause his neighbors or fellow-towns-
men shrink from enforcing the law,
or because they shirk jury duty and
compel the courts to proceed to trial
with juries made up Of Indifferent
material. The law is all right,
but the juries frequently are not,
and we, the people, are to blame for
that. We fail to do our duty, and |
then try to make the law a scape-
goat. This is neither fair nor hon
est.
There is too much loose and wild |
talk about the lay 1eing failure,
If the law is a failure
civilization is a failure, our institu-
tons are failure, and the sooner
we relapse into the primitive state
Of barbarism from which our ances-
tors emerged the better The law
is rot failure, but many OF us are
failures as citizens. Society rests
upon the interests its members take
in its preservation. Thai interests
termed patriotism or public spirit.
The more of it there is in a com
the less talk there will be
about the law failing to punish
criminals.

From his workshop in Highland

desk of his correspondent in Mil
waukee a fac-simile of whatever he
puts on paper at this end of the
wire. The finishing touches to the

and subordinate companies are or.
ganizing over the country to put
the invention in use,
"The instrument now reproduces
each stroke of the pen or pencil
with almost exact fidelity said
Professor Gray to Chicago Trib-
une reporter yesterday. "The re-
production is just up to the point
of not being original. The differ
ence is enough to prevent long-dis-
lance forgery. AT the same time
the copy at the other end IS so near
ly like what you write, that for all
ordinary purposes it is your hand
writing"
Several specimens of copy, when
a.
compared with the original, show
ed a slight waviness OF line as the
only distinction. One could come
much nearer telling the reproduce
tion Of a friends voice by the per-
fected phonograph from the voice
itself than he could a tel-autograph-

writing from his true fist.
