Moment ProfitabIy

With all of the sights to be seen

an economy of time are essential to
a successful visit.
A place of rest and recreation
in the midst of all the wonders of
the Fair, where the tired sightseer
can find refuge at any hour or
after day of exploration, is hardly
to be imagined possible, but such
a luxury has been provided at the
Inside Inn. This is splendid
hotel in the Exposition enclosure,
where acc immodations are to be
had at rates no higher than obtain
aole on the outside and including
the daily admittance of the guest
to the privileges of the Fair.
In the morning when the visitor
arises the great sights OF the Expo
sition lie just without his window,
and at all times of the day the In
side Inn is there to afford him q
homelike reception. Away from
the crowds, no street cars to wait
for and no delay at the gates &c

1t is very gratifying to know
that Idaho was the only state to
have its state building ready for
visitors on the opening day of the
fair. The TACT reflects much creu
upon the Idaho commissioner.
Moreover, Idaho was one of very
few states to have their exhibits in
place on time. 1t is all pleasing
and the fact will not be lost sight
of as evidence of the push of our
Idaho people.-Ststesman.

A country newspaper man who is
very fond of honey visited a neighbour
ing city recently and at one of the
hotels he was served with some de-
licious honey. He enjoyed it so much
that he told his wife all about it when
he returned home, says Lippincott's
Magazine.
On his next trip to the city she ac-
companied him. They visited the same
hotel, and when the noon meal was
being served he said to his wife that
he hoped they had some more of that
honey. 1t did not appear, however, and
the newspaper man, therefore, beck
oning to a waiter, said: Say, Sambo,
where is my honey?"
He was almost paralyzed when that
worthy grinned and replied: "She doan
work here no more, boss. She done got
a job at the silk mill"
The wife received a handsome new
dress before they returned home, after
making a solemn promise not to tell
the story.

THE GREATEST EXHIBIT.

Mr.. Walter II. Page, editor of the
Worlds Work magazine, has been at
the st. Louis Exposition making a
critical study of that greatest of all
the fairs. He has found, after weeks
on the grounds, that the most inter
esting, the most promising exhibit con-
sists of the people themselves-the
American people, whose genius has
made possible both the country and
the fair. There are various national
tiles represented at the fair. The char
acteristic faces of almost every nation
under the sun are to be seen about the
grounds. But the foreigners are merely
incidentals. The mass is composed of
people Enthusiastically American in face,
manners, speech and interest. And the
Americans are all busy learning
things" Mr.. Page aptly expresses it
when he says of the exposition that 1T
is the American people all going to
school at once. and all learning from
each other"
The level of intelligence among the
visitors to the fair is high, and each
individual is picking up points" that
may be utilized to advantage upon the
return home. The "hayseed" of the
comic papers is conspicuous by his abb
SeRce. There are Country men,
there in abundance but they wear good
clothes. talk well and show every evil
dence of keeping intelligently abreast
of the times. 1t may be doubted that
so fine an appearing crowd could be
gathered together in any other coun-
try in the world. And there is a cos
mopoiitanism about the crowd that is
infectious. Chance acquaintance inn
mediately become friends and fan to
talking intimately about the exhibits
and what they teach. That something
is being taught, and to be learned.
seems to be the central idea of about
all visitors. Women see how they can
make their homes more attractive,
school officials see how their local
schools may be improved, the farmer
sees where he can economic by the
use of labor-saving machinery on his
farm, the manufacturer is impressed
with fuel-saving devices attached to
/
boiler furnaces, and so on. The ten
dency is educational. and the education
is towards practical economy and a
higher life.
Mr.. Page says that this great exhibit
of the people shows that the country
has progressed rapidly, even since the
time of the holding Of the Columbian
Exposition in Chicago. The tone and
attitude of mind OF the people seem
to be higher. The people are more earn
est and thoughtful. They look better,
and are more given TO the acquire
ment OF knowledge respecting the Sc
rious things of life. A study OF the
people leads him to the conclusion
that 1.-THE future holds more than the
past has yielded" and that I'VE have
only begun TO learn the capacity OF
either land or men"

INADEQUACY OF THE CRIMINAL
LAW

1 LAW
In the current number of the Attain
tic Monthly. Mr.. George w. Alger has
an article on "Unpunished Commercial
| Crime" that is attracting a good deal
of attention. 1t points out the neces-
sity for a revision of the criminal law
to meet changed commercial condi-
tiOns. The claim that the law now
fails in some of it's chief functions does
not appear to be without some basis.
The preservation of the moral stand
ard of a community may be said to be
one of the chief functions of criminal
law. This standard is preserved by
providing adequate punishment for
those who commit acts detrimental to
our moral welfare. Whether the pres
ent system is providing such punish
ment may be inquired into with pro-
prietv.
The peculiarly dangerous crimes of
to-day are what have been termed the
Grimes of craft" They have been
made possible by the changed condi-
tiOns of modern life and are the out
growth of present-day business combi-
nations. Their nature is such that they
seem to stand immune from police de-
lection and only at intervals do they
appear fully revealed in their true
character of gigantic frauds. Under
Grimes of craft may be classed the
frauds of the modern business world,
frauds of "watered STOCK" frauds in
10
agement of trusts, Misrepresentation of
goods, and dozens of others.
The principles of criminal law had
their birth when society was in, the
agricultural period and when crimes of
violence were the most to be feared.
Though the conditions of life have
changed, the bulk of our criminal law
is apparently still leveled at crimes of
violence. There seems to have been
no sufficient recognition of the new
crimes and the majority of the GRIM
inals facing our courts to-day are there
either for crimes of violence or frauds
and thefts of the simpler kind.
What few laws have been aimed at
these ''crimes of craft" make them
only misdemeanors. Had Whitaker
Wright-the great promoter sentenced
in England to seven years penal servi-
tude for issuing false balance sheets
been convicted in New York, the maxi
mum penalty would have been one
years Imprisonment or a fine of $500.
The greatest bank wrecker in Ameri-
can financial history is now said to be
living undisturbed in New York city
The few craft criminals" who are
brought to task generally escape with
fine. and the vast majority go I'M
punished because there are no laws un-
der which a conviction can be secured.
The cry for legislation against these
crimes appear to show that the peo-
pie are awaking to their seriousness.
New laws or amendments to the old
seem to be necessary. The young man
who sees the promoter living in luxury
naturally feels a desire to emulate him.
Thus gradually the moral sense of a
nation may be eaten away because of
the apparent ineficacy of the present
criminal laws to keep it in healthy con-
dition.
