Ough manner. He declares that new
hearings have been granted with too
much l~iberality. The technical rights
of accused persons have been upheld
and magnified in cases where guilt
has been overwhelmingly shown, re-
sulting in public dissatisfaction and
discomfort and bringing the admins
tration of the criminal courts into
d%isrespect.
"This condition." says the opinion
quoted, "has caused peaceful and
law-abiding citizens to become law
less and join in the barbarous meth
cd of furnishing crime by a resort to
the court of Judge Lynch.
"Remedies have been suggested,
among others that the right of ap-
peal be taken away in such cases,
but it is believed that the only ap-
propriate way to quiet the public
mind in this respect, and restore
confidence in the ability of the courts
to administer justice, not only to the
criminal, but to society and the state
as we'll, and to overcome the tendency

and speedy trial, conviction of the
guilty, and certain and ~unrelenting
punishment, unaccompanied by the
long delays usually incident to the
administration of criminal laws, and
unaccompanied, too, by refined and
subtle technicalities. New trials
should be granted only where the
substantial rights of the accused have
been so violated as to make it reason
ably clear that a fair trial was not
had.
SIN all cases removed to the highest
court for review, the evidence, when
returned on the appeal, should first
be looked to for the purpose of deter
mining the guilt or innocence of re-
PENDANT. If there be no doubt of his
guilt, alleged errors, not affecting his
substantial constitutional rights,
should be brushed aside, and in their
place substituted the almighty force
and power of truth. The conviction
Of an innocent person is far too re-
mote a probability to justify an ap-
plication of the technical rule of law
so necessary in olden times, when
persons were not surrounded by the
same constitutional and statutory safe
guards al at the present day."

Wise Mother Mouse.

"When we think Of mice. 1t Is usual

intelligence, but | recently had an ex-
p~erience which shows that the little
creatures possess u good bit Of wis
dom, after all.
II had been annoyed for some time
by a family Of mice which lived in the
walls of the bedroom. They nibbled
my clothes, disturbed my sleep, and
when they grew so bold as to go into
the canary's cage and eat up it's seed
my patience gave out and l determined
to fix them.
II bought a trap and set it by the
hole in the wall. For five nights l
caught a mouse; then several days
passed without catching one, although
they We're still there. for they kept up
their noise, although not coming into
my room any more.
II found that the trap was all right,
but the hole in the wall had been clos
ed from inside. l pulled the filing out.
It was not easy work, for 1t had been
evidently put there to stay and was
made Of bits of plaster and rubbish. !
kept the hole open, with the trap close
to 1t. but next day 1t was filled again.
II repeated this clearing out process
five times, and five times the filling
was replaced. It vas evidently the
! work Of the mother mouse to prevent
her little ones from passing through
what had proved a fatal gate to SO
many. And I left the hole closed. for
the mice did not come into my room
again."-New York Times.
A Clock which Struck Thirteen.
There Is an old legend about the
/ clock in st. Paul's, London, striking
| thirteen times instead Of twelve once
upon a time. and it is said that be-
cause this was proved a sentinel's life
was saved.
He was accused Of sleeping at his
post, which was at a considerable dis
lance from the church. The poor fel-
low denied the charge, but could not
bring evidence Of his innocence. He
had his trial, and the only proof Of his
wakefulness he brought forward was
that at midnight he had heard st.
PauIs strike thirteen. The judges
laughed this to scorn as an impossl-
bility,. and besides they thought he
could not hear SO far. However, while
he lay under sentence of death several
persons came forward and swore to
the truth Of the statement. 1t Is re-
ported that the soldier was set free,
and long years afterward when he died
the record of the circumstances was
engraved on his coffin plate.

THE work of cleaning the streets In
preparation for the regatta is now we'll
under way, and it is understood that
the street superintendent will continue
il until the principal thoroughfares
have all been subjected to thorough
renovation. This is step in the right
direction, and move that residents of
the city of course greatly appreciate.
1t is desirable that visitors to the re-
gatta carry away with them recol-
lecion of city clean and neat as well
as city of hospitality. Every little
thing will be noticed by the city's
guests, and they will talk of Astoria
long after the regatta proper is moth

win lend their efforts to the street sup
erintendent in the work of summer

depositing debris and other waste rat
ter in proper receptacles instead OF
throwing it on the street. Let the city
be clean during regatta week.
