Ono of Isnsn's representatives in this country
during the recent Russo japanese War referred
TO japan as Americas little boy" The words
were something more than compliment. They
were a recognition of the leading part this coun-
try played in opening up Japan to the commerce
Of the world and afterward in leading her in the
WAYS Of Western civilization. That was an hon
orsble achievement and one worthy of the New
World which was called into existence in Can

.E0RcEDn TO .pERJURE HIMSELF!

Borough President Littleton, as counsel Tor
CahiII the former Assemblyman convicted OF
periury in connection with election frauds, is 60
inp to contest the consttutionality Of the Elec-
ton law on the ground that it requires a man TO
testify against himself He thinks 1t outrageous
that man cannot assist in little colon1Zlng IN
dustry without being compelled to commit per-
jury.
We shall not attempt to guess what the courts
NAV do with such plea, but may remark
that nobody compelled CahiIl to commit perjury.
He did it of his own free will to cover up, as ne
thought offences with which he had not Deeh
charged. The law did not force him TO testny
against himself, but merely compelled him to
give a true account of certain other persons 1t
required him to tell what he knew about their
residence in his house He had to say whether
they lived there or not. If he had refused to
answer on the ground that to do so would tend
70 criminate or degrade him, suppose he
would have been excused but such an answer
would have been equivalent to confession. he
had not been charged with procuring the illegal
registration of these persons under SUSPICION
but his own guilty sense forbade him to desert
them and say they had not lived in his house.
so he swore that they had. Then he was con-
fronted with their confessions not only that they
had not lived at his house, but that he had In
duced their fraudulent registration.
The law rightly protects q person arrested
from being compelled to testify against himself.
but there is no sense In extending that immunity
to prevent criminals from trapping themselves
The law often requires citizens to make oath to
facts If they have committed crimes which
might only indirectly and collaterally be revealed
by such oath. that is their lookout. The law
did not force Cahill to commit perjury. He did
that Of his own free will Neither did it compel
him to confess any crime in telling the truth
Any offence in procuring false registration which
might have been proved against him would have
been proved independent of his testimony. which,
in fact, would have tended to show his inno
cence. What he feared not testifying
against himself. but provoking his tools to
testify against him. as without his knowledge
they had already done. So he stupidy commit
ted the act of perjury.

THE MERIWETHER CASE.

Two standards of Judgment may be applied to
the offence Of which Midshipman Meriwether
has been found guilty. The young man had
killed fellow student, not Intentionally or de
nberately vet his participation in the fight which
was attended by such unhappy consequences was
both intentional and deliberate. These circum
stances in the ordinary course Of events would
have led to his being indicted and tried for man
slaughter under the laws of the State of Mary
land No one can determine what Maryland
iurv would have decided in regard to the act. cor
what sentence a Maryland judge would have i'm
posed.
Mr.. Meriwether's status was different from
that of most youths He had entered school
conducted by the national government with the
expectation OF entering the military service of
the country. Hence he was subject to a special
code enacted by Congress, and his trial was con
Quoted by military court That tribunal was
obliged to consider not merely the result of the
injury inflicted upon a fellow mortal by Mr.
Meriwether but also the breach of discipline
which he had committed Strict observance of
the regulations is the first lesson which every
naval and army officer is called upon to learn
Disregard of the rules of the Annapolis Acad-
envy aggravated the young mans wrOngdoing

which the custom of adjusting quarrels by re-

correct in this matter; and If it should prove
that he is mistaken the success which ought to
attend his policy may come more promptly than
he has allowed himself to expect.
