1T would not be easy to imagine a
more abominable crime than that which
is revealed in the story that comes to
us from Kansas of the kidnapping of
children of wealthy parents to hold
them for ransom. The mere mention of
such a scheme carries terror to every
home where there are little ones. In
this instances it is gratifying to learn
that the villains were apprehended be-
fore they had succeeded in carrying
their plans into effect, and are likely
to be sent to prison. No punishment
that they are likely to receive will be
regarded as too severe for their Of
tense.

ARREST on a telegram has just come
up before a Chicago court. which held
it to be illegal-as probably every law
yer would unhesitatingly decide. Two
years ago Secretary Bayard formally
declined to make such an arrest on
cabled request from Belgium, and the
proposal was made that a convention
arranging for arrests on telegraphic re-
quests be negotiated. In this country
it is probable but not certain that legis-
lation would be necessary to render le-
gal an arrest under such a conviction.
For years past our local police author
tiles all over the country have made ar
rests on telegraph9e requests, to which
often far more attention is paid than to
a warrant, but all such arrests are ir-
regular under existing law. They ought
to be legalized and proper restrictions
placed about their use.

to his method of assessing the congrega-

trouble was brought to climax when the
priests demand upon lady of the con-
pregation for her share of certain as
sessment was refused. Father Ryan be-
came angry, struck her in the face with a
prayer book and used language unbecom-
