- 70 OTHER verdict was possible
from the evidence than was
4 presented in the second Moli-
neuX trial. A. fiendish mur-
der is committed. Suspicion fastens
upon one of two or three persons. One
of these is indicted. tried and convicted
upon circumstantial' testimony insufti-
rient to condemn dog. An interval OF
time elapses, a new trial is secured upon
showing of gross errors in the conduct
of the original trial, and, with a fair
Judge, a competent jury and free
hearing of all material and relevant
testimony, the prisoner is pronounced
an innocent man.
This verdict must be accepted as not
only legally but also morally conclus-
i've. That MolneuX did many things
deserving of censure was shown incl
dentally, but misconduct is not murder
and this was a trial for murder. Criti-
cism has been felt and expressed that
MOlineuX'S father ana family should
have expended their means and used all
their influence to secure his acuuittal,
but any parent and all reputable rela-
tives would. similarly placed have acted
likewise A. life was at stake and it
was entitled to a fair show. At the
first trial Molineux did not get a fair
show. He was convicted on prejudice
and general principles. The retrial was
a necessity and its issue vindication
of Justice.
The indictment of Cornish is now in
order He has been accused in open
court by Il reputable attorney once the
governor of the state, of doing the deed
for which MolineuX was arrested and
arraigned. The circumstantial evidence
against Cornish is equally as strong as
it was against ,N1olineuN. What was
sauce for one should be made sauce for
the other. The murder of Mrs. Adams
was a crime of too great cunning and
too utterly heartless to justify any let
ting up of the efforts of the detective
forces of the law until the man or
woman who conceived and executed it
shall have been given the punishment
it merits.

have rejected the adverse
award of the arbitration
board and voted by Il large
majority to continue the strike. Tho
French government was very reluctant
to Interfere or be identified officially
In any way with the struggle except
to preserve order, but yielding to the
precedent established by President
Roosevelt it ultimately consented to
do so. In the first place it is neces-
sary to remark that the Investigations
of the French strike commissioners
seem to have been extraordinarily light
or signally superficial. The commits
sion had been sitting little more than
n week, and in that time they not only
heard and examined the contentious of
the miners and operators. but had time
TO adjudicate upon them and file their
decision. They manage these things
more eXpeditiously in France than we
can hope to do here. At the same
time, the conditions We're not exactly
--~ The French miners formulated
three demands, An increase in
wages an 'eisht-hour day and old age
pensions. The commissioners could
not grant an eight-hour day or con-
cede old age pensions. These are sub
), Jets fer.poljtical action in France and
their acceptance or rejection lies with
parliament. on the wage question they
found against the miners. The arbi-
traitors contended that the conditions
of the coal trade would not admit of
an advance. In arriving at this con-
cusion they rooll into consideration
and apparently decided upon the fact
that rise in the miners wages would
enhance the price OF a prime necessary
of life without amy compensating pub
lie advantage. The French miners, or
~ their leaders, pointed out that the cost
,Dfgliving had greatly increased among
them. The commissioners replied that
the higher cost of living among the
ipiiie:s was not exceptional, that MEM
bers of the community who were less
able TO bear the enhanced cost of liy-
ing than they We're had also to submit
to it, and finally that it would be "un-
- equivocally outrageous To tax one
section Of the community, and that the
!" poorest, in order 10 increase the earn
II ing power of a limited number of men
snengased in a particular industry.
i~ The decision, as might naturally be
expected, did not satisfy the miners,
although their leaders endeavored to
induce them to accept the award. The
decision is too logically decisive. The
spirit OF compromise Is entirely

eliminated. 1t is unreasonable to
believe thet the French miners
struck without having some grievances
more or less definite which would ap-
peal for adjustment to tribunal spe-
cially constituted to sift them. 1t Is
impossible to conclude that the miners
laid down their tools without rhyme or
reason: 1t is, moreover, highly i'm
probable that the operators who had
the full military force Of the nation at
their back to preserve order and pro-
tect property would have consented to
arbitration when there was no politi-
cal or executive pressure brought to
bear upon them to do so.
However, the award Is what it is.
An arbitration court has entered judg-
ment, and the party whom it affects

by its decision. despite the entreaties
of it's leaders. The economical the

arbitrate disputes by a commission

other. In fact and truth, they are

q n OPINION was handed down
~ on Saturday last by Justice
4 y Dean of the Pennsylvania
Supreme court which, If its
purport has been correctly interpreted
by the Pittsburg Dispatch, which makes
1t the text of n long editorial comment,
Is likely to have a far-reachng effect
both locally and throughout the state.
The case eliciting it was that of the
Philadelphia Weston and Swarthman
Street Railway company against the
Chester, Darby and Philadelphia Rail-
way company. involving the right of a
new railway company to use for pur-
poses Of connections the tracks laid and
owned by all old company. Heretofore
1t has been held very generally and
affirmed by the Supreme court of the
United States that the legislature of
state may establish the conditions upon
which such right of use may be eXer-
clsed; but now Justice Dean, the Dis
patch says, holds that zone corporation
for profit may not appropriate the
property Of another TO exactly the same
uses; and the inference is that his
opinion would prevent, for example, II
new trolley company desirous of enter
ing Scranton from using for central
city connections any part of the tracks
of the Scranton Railway company.
Says the Dispatch, in conclusion of it's
comment:
",rhe effect of the decision in the
larger cities of the state is to shut out
any hope of weakening traction monop-
olies by the creation of competing
lines. 1t leaves as the only resource for
cities seeking that relief the doubtful
eXpedient of municipal ownership. The
Supreme court has not yet declared that
law by the Legislature permitting
cities to own street railways would be
unconstitutional; but perhaps that is
because no such law has yet been
passed"

The announcement that the novelist
Halle ICrminie Rives is to write a book

naturally causes anxiety among his

that the ''ten. twenty. dirty" style of
fiction will prove more jarring to his
constitution than the Monte Carlo
gambling story.
