SOME SURPRISED DEFENDANTS.

I He CONVICTION Of Machen and al
4 the other alleged postal conspira-
tors was a great disappointment to the
defendants. Mr.. AIachen himself is said
TO have been "thunderstruck" at the
verdict. Truth to tell, the finding Of
the jury viii surprise most people who
have followed the testimony closely.
The case made out by the government
was not a strong one. Indeed, it seemed
to some Of Us that the government was
not trying very hard to make out a
case. Yet three Of the prisoners have
been sentenced TO terms of two years
each in prison and fines of $4,000.
The jury seems to have slightly re-
versed the old Scotch verdict Of
guilty, but not proven" TO mot
9roven, hut guilty" The judgment is
what might be called inferential Al
though It was not definitely and con-
clusively shown that 1Iachen and his
co-conspirators actually stole money
from the government the inference that
they did was perfectly natural. How
else was II possible for men who were
working FOR comparatively small sal
aries 20 lay aside large sums of money
every year. at the same time living
extravagantly2
A surprise for both prosecution and
defense was the conviction Of Croft,
inventor Of the Croft fastener which
has figured 50 prominently IN the hear
ing. The prosecuting attorney IN his
closing speech to the jury declared that
he did not expect a conviction as to
Croft. ana that he personally believed
this defendant to be innocent. Never
theless Gro5T was found guilty, and
is in fair way 10 be punished with
Machen and the others
The result OF the trial shows that the
jury was made up Of men who have
no patience with technicalities. They
were net necessarily prejudiced against
the defendants. but they did not feel
that it was necessary for the govern
ment to show that certain specified per-
sons paid over to them certain speci-
fed sums of money. and to prove II by
individuals who saw the money trans
ferred.

TRlaas musT GO.


PROFESSOR oscar Lowell Triggs has
been relieved Of duty as Instructor
in English literature at the Chicago
university. Il is given cut that his
views on economics cid not harmonic
with the views Of President Harper.
Either Harper or Triggs had TO go
Triggs is going. The action Of the
board is rather surprising TO those VINO
are familiar with Professor Triggs' rec
ord. He was worth some thousands q
dollars a year to the university in adj
vertising alone.
Triggs is the man who compared
John d. Rockefeller with William
Shakespeare to the disadvantage of
Shakespeare. It was TEggs who said
that LongfeTiow and Oliver Wendell
Holmes and Lowell were not real poets.
Triggs denounced the hymns In COM
mon use ia the churches OF the land as
/ "doggerel" He has done a good many
other things IN the freak line, among
them being a plea for an atelier of ic-
ton where students could be taught to
write novels as painters are taught to
paint pictures.
Lately, however, Professor Triggs has
been giving utteraHee TO some ideas
that are altogether too advanced Tor
the Chicago university. Perhaps the
straw that broke the eameTs back was
this:
Instead of a single proprietor or
owner we would substitute the pub
lie" said Professor Triggs discussing
public ownership of utilities and neces-
/ saries Of life. ''The profit to the pub
[ lie would work out in two directions.
the prices of products would he reduced
and the returns for the workers would
be increased"
This indicates that. while Mr.. Triggs
may not have changed his views rela-
tive to Mr.. Rockefeller's superiority
over Shakespeare, he is against the
/ Standard Oil ard. other trusts with
I which the patron saint OF Chicago uni
versity is identified. Now it is against
all reason to suppose a man can hold
his job under President Harper and
give expression to sentiments that nigh;
be construed as an attack on the Stand
/ ard Oil company. Even the advertis-
ing value Of Triggs becomes insignIf-
cant.

THE SPECTACULAR ENDING of
of the career of Whitaker Wright
after being found guilty by a British
jury Of promoting fraudulent corpora
tons has called out a number OF IA
vorabIe comments on the English laws
governing such matters. That the en-
thusiastic comment is hardly justified
by the facts is made apparent by our
consul at Newcastle-on-Tyne who re-
Gently forwarded with one Of his re-
ports an article from the Manchester
Chronicle on the subject of corpora
tions.
The article says the paid UP capital
Of companies believed to be in bust
ness in April last amounted to S, 1884,
5S5,sS0, divided among s,259 companies.
1t is found, though. that since 1S62
77,579 companies. with a combined cap
itaI Of $29,9s2. 1925, have been aoated.
A large majority Of them have gone
under. 1t is pointed out that last year
1929 companies, with a capitalization Of
S311, $4,000. of which nearly $4,000. 600
was subscribed by the public, went TO
the wall.
In the last ten years, says the Chron-
ieIe, the capital involved by the in
solvency OF limited liability companies
was s., 725, 240, 600, more than S1,250, Co.,
0G0 Of which came from the public in
comparatively small subscriptions. The
Chronicle figures that within the last
ten years the British public has lost
outright 81. $50. 00S, eco through the pur-
chase OF. shares in rotten corporations.
In view Of this fact, the case Of Whit
aker Wright was about due. The pro-
/ ceeding against him was exceptional,
not usual
The Chronicle attributes most Of the
fraud to the limited liability system
that prevails in England, and says:
Bankruptcy has no terrors for the
interruptions person, and the promo
ton OF companies is so recklessly car
ried on that we have every year such
an appalling ratio Of insolvency as that
indicated. The amending acts Of re-
cent years have failed TO check the
evil. The law is 80 framed that it may
be deliberately avoided. II
/ does not meet the case to say we can
not legislate for fools; we must so leg
| islate as to protect the nation from
unscrupulousness. dishonesty and
! fraud. The Joint stock system
| is primarily good and it has been very
/ useful; but for our credits sake some
thing must be done. and that promptly,
/ to abolish the abuse OF it. which has
/ become a national scandal"

TIE GAME OF "srEH' LIKE"

ssNow WE'LL PLAY ten ike" said
~ the little girl, 'Pn be the mama.
you'n be the papa and Wen have all
the dolIies IN for tea" And so the
children made merry throughout the
afternoon while their mother watched
them with a smile that was at once in
dulgent and retrospective, She was
thinking of the games Of ten like"
she played when she was a child, but it
never occurred to her that she had not
outgrown the habit and the pleasure
that, one way or another, comes out
OF it.
A great game, that game Of ten
Ike" Some Of Us play it and know
We are pretending. Others don't
know it. or at least they try hard to
forget it. but that does not alter the
fact. We go to see a theatrical per-
Torrance. The people on the stage are
frankly playing ten like" We see
an actor whose salary is something like
SIS a week spending thousands Of dol
lars IN stage money. We hear him talk
about his yachts and his automobiles
and we know very well the poor devil
never owned even a canoe or an ex-
press wagon.
We hear a fanfare Of trumpets and a
gentleman in frayed doublet and hose
bellows: 'But bark, the king ap-
proaches.'' The poor old king never got
close to royalty unless the kings and
queens in a deck Of cards can be called
so, but he comes on in his more OF
less bedraggled glory and rules for a
brief hour over his 50 ten ike" realm.
He drinks his ten like" wine. orders
his ten like" executions and then
goes of. followed by his ten like
pages and courtiers TO be cursed by a
very real stage manager because he
didn't speak his lines properly.
out in the auditorium we are play
ing the ten like" game. too, though
not so obviously. We let ourselves be
worked up over the sorrows of the stage
folk, we rejoice at their triumphs. For a
few hours we imagine we are seeing
real life. and then we go out into the
night air and are chilled by the recol-
lection that. after all, It was only a
play; a play that was done last night
that viii be done again tomorrow night
and as many times more as the public
VIII pay for.
Why. the children are the veriesj
novices in the game of q" ten like, - just
as they are novices in everything else
that has a part in what we call life
Your honest, frank, fearless child viii
never pretend to be glad to see some
body it is not really glad TO see; il
VIII not seem TO be merry when II
wants to be sad; it viii not smirk and
cringe and grovel in the august pres.
ence Of any jack in Office, no matter
how august, how rich or how powerful
the jack may be. The ten like
game Of the child is pure and sweet anC
innocent. God knows we cannot say a.
much for the game as played by tn,
grOwn-ups.
We viii all go on pretending TO thu
sunset Of our little day and wen leav,
behind US, with its eyes turned TO tn,
sunrise, a new generation to play tn,
same old game in the same old way.

With wearied struggling steps the cliff
And row on row, their giant peaks half
In smoky cloud. the mountain ranges
Deep solitude and vastHess hold the land:
And yet, how strange medley meets ny
The bristling rocks, like rugged castles
And there above them softly nesting
In qulv'ring green the oaks the SUBMITS
crown.
Here lies a naked cliff. its face all bare.
It's red sides sunping in the burning air;
While there, in lazy vagueness gently trail
The yielding piilowy slopes, where sofS
There outlines fuse into the distance far.
While these Hke+fiery lightning flashes
The broken lines Of peaks tfat cut the
sky.
Ger ali the scene in shifting spiendor
There CLEAN unnumbered tints in light
and shade.
To beauties new my eyes are ever bent.
Yet all is in one misty grandeur blent
II seemed that on glorious chaos gazed.
Yet not a chaos. but a swelling sea.
Those lines on lines of mountain peaks
could be
Tumultuous waves. while Ger them swift
are Whirled
The long white clouds il flying white
caps curled.
But still no surf in mighty thunder roars,
Nor constant suTges on the fTetted shores,
But all in one Undertaking spell It sealed,
As If those moving waves had been con-
gealed
To nlystery-holding mountains whose calm
forms
Dwell massive and untroubIed midst the
storms
~.
4 miracle that thus a sea should stand!
Perhaps the great Creator raised his hand
And babe the heaving Festlessness to
cease,
And made the wild the dwelling place OF
peace. HELEN A. ALLEN.
