BY this capture. John r. Wilkie, chief
of the secret service OF the Treasury
department, accomplishes the immed-
ate work that he was called TO his po-
sitIon by Secretary Gage to perform.
We heard a good deal of the new head
Of the secret service shortly after the
the breaking out Of the Spanish war,
for he achieved prominence immediate
~ by effectively breaking up the Span
.sh spy system both in this country and
in Canada. But when wilkic came 20
fhe secret service he was looking TO-
counterfeiters, not Spaniards. Wilkie
was a Chicago newspaper man when
the Secretary OF the Treasury called
him TO the head OF the service upon
the discovery OF the new counterfeiting
operations. with the especial purpose OF
running down the band. The Spanish
war offered an unexpected field of
operations. but the pursuit OF the coun-
terfeIters was kept up without inter
ruption. The newhead Of the secret
service Is manifestly the kind OF de-
tective who detects.

The result OF the Quay trial offers n
first-class Illustration of the fundamen-
tai principle of our law that a man is
bound TO be considered innocent until
he Is proven guilty The defense Of
fered no testimony, but simply argued
that the prosecution had failed to prove
it's case. And the jury decided that 4
had. There is no hating place between
the yerdlcts OF guilty and not guilty In
the law. There is no half way decision
possible. Sometimes a verdict may
seem TO mean guilty but don't DO il
again" and what is called a Scotch
verdict reads mot proven" But in our
courts when a case is not proven the
accused is not guilty. precisely as
though he were absolutely proven to be
not guilty. According TO the reports OF
the discussion that the jury had it
would appear that II they had been
qualified 10 deliver Scotch verdict
that II what would have been done.

There promises 10 be n restoration
of trees i'm New York city a recently
adopted bill provides that trees may be
planted in front of any ones property
who does not object, and puts the
planting under the care and direction
of the park commissioners. New York
once had an ordinance prohibiting tree
planting in the city's highways. And
the city has been pretty thoroughly
stripped. as have many ether American
cities. IT Is easy for not very old in

But the streets that were spared from
the wholesale slaughter are among the
