Is It a Precedent?

The arbitrary disposal Of the Young
the question whether judges have the
power to exile persons from one part
of the country. When Mrs. Young's
case was called, she appeared in court
and was informed by the judge that If
she would agree to leave New York
within twelve hours she would not be
tried upon the main charge. After con-
siderable argument the woman agreed
to the terms and was released in the
custody of her counsel. e., ~
It is quite customary for police Judges
to convict men and suspend sentence,
provided they leave town Immediately,
but these are always minor cases involv-
ing nothing but a misdemeanor. Eel
onies are not usually disposed of in that
way.
The constitution prohibits cruel or
unusual punishments and the judge in
this case may have inflicted both. 1T
was certainly unusual to let loose per-
son possibly a fit subject for incarcera-
! ton upon another part of the COM
munity. If Mrs. Young is Of such a
mind that she cannot control herself,
but goes about shooting innocent per-
sons, this judge has said in effect that
it is all right provided she does not do
| it in New York. This does not carry
out the theory Of the law, which is that
crime>is punished as much for the bene-
fit Of society at large as for the benefit
Of the accused. 1t does not benefit So
ciety at large to dismiss a person from
the jurisdiction of the court with full
liberty to commit illegal acts in other
parts Of the country. p J.
| Again, the punishment inflicted upo1
Mrs. Young may be peculiarly cruel
She was required by the dictum of The
magistrate to separate from her hus
band. She cannot compel him to leave
his business in New York and accom-
pany her into exile. She could no
even accuse him of desertion, since h
could always put up the defense tina
he had home to which she did no
come. On the other hand, he could pro
ceed against her for desertion with
perfect title to a divorce because sh
did not appear at the home provided b:
him. W =.
The recognized theory Of America;
law is that a person accused of a felon
is entitled to a trial and an acquittal
y innocent. And society at large is Ell
titled to have the accused tried an
n restrained legally, if guilty. Neithe
o thing was done in this case, but tn
; magistrate, exercising very large di
! erection, took the matter in his ow
n hands and disposed Of it by simply pu
q ting the woman out of his jurisdiction
I;Perhaps in rare exceptions. his cours
E would work no harm, but it is da1
= gerous precedent which, if it BEGAN
q general, would make the administratio
Of the criminal law to be still more di
credited than it is to day.

The audiences took great delight in
these general discussions. The great

on baptism, and on Thursday and Fri

The Japanese Army in a Rage.

Stanley Washburn cables to the Chi
eago News a story Of the rage and in
dignation and grief which pervaded the
Japanese army when the terms Of peace
were announced. What he says about
the feeling pervading the japanese
army supports the apprehension that
Japan may yet suffer internal troubles
of serious nature. Washburn says
there are 100000 rifles under oyama
that were ready to fight against 100000
in the Russian army. The Japanese
were morally certain Of being able to
wipe out the Russian army and their
chagrin and anger at not being allowed
to do so is, from the soldiers stand
point, quite natural.
When these soldiers come back to
Japan they may become a very danger
GUS factor Of the situation. 1t will take
months, however, to return them to
their homes and they may have learned
by that time that even if they had ex-
terminated Linevitch IS army, they could
not, in all probability, have compelled
much better terms Of peace from Rus
STA than have already been obtained.
It is not likely that even another de-
cisive defeat in Manchuria would have
Icompelled the Russian government to
pay an indemnity. The army would
have had the satisfaction Of completely
Wiping out the Russian military forces

Bryan On Insurance Control.

William Bryan is beginning to learn
the nice distinctions Of words. In his
speech at Chicago he said, on the ques-
ton Of his personal relation to the
next democratic, nomination: II want
to say to you that not only am I not
announcing candidacy, but I am not
permitting candidacy"
And this is what Mr.. Bryan called
making his position entirely clear to
the democracy. Would it not have
been just as clear if Mr.. Bryan had
said: 81 want to say to you that not
only am I not denying a candidacy,
but am not announcing candid
acys" In other words, is not Mr..
Bryan letting "nature take it's
course9'
Whether Mr.. Bryan expects to be a
candidate or not, he likes to feel that
his hand is on the pulse Of the party,
and that he is still it's trusted nurse.
His speech at Chicago last night is
full Of suggestions Of issues.
He seeks constantly to find slightly
different ways of approaching the is
sues raised by President Roosevelt. In
particular he differs from him on the
federal control of life insurance. Mr.
| Bryan opposes federal control and IA
vors state control. Here he is entirely
illogical. State control has permitted
all the abuses from which policy
holders are now suffering, therefore
Mr.. Roosevelt would end it; but Mr.
Bryan would neither end it nor memo
it. State control means forty differen
kinds Of regulation, some Of them in
consistent with others. Federal con
troll means one kind of control ant
complete publicity. Mr.. Roosevelt ia
vors the single, consistent, effectiv
federal control. Mr.. Bryan favors tn
retention Of the confused, slipshod, in
effective control by state departments
Mr.. Bryan has the worst of the logic
but it is not SO certain that he ha
the worst of the politics. Federal con
troll of life insurance would be grea
blow to the state machines and a dc
pressing loss to the campaign funds i
many states. Therefore, one might ez
pect to see the state politicians line
up behind Mr.. Bryan rather than be
hind Mr.. Roosevelt on this question.
It is not right to say that Mr.. Brya
is playing to split the state from tn
federal machines in this matter, BIZ
his alignment with the positively ba
state control Of insurance is consister
with such a desire and inconsister
with an intelligent desire to do SOM
thing for the masses of the people WI
: are insured. r..

by some enterprising story-teller for
humorous purposes, and the anecdote has
successfully been written around about

lie speaking. OF course President Roose-
Welt could not escape. Probably he will
not mild it much. He has succeeded to
an honor which has been handed down
from generation to generation, and is,
up to the present time, the last OF a long
line Of distinguished recipients.

TRAVELS OF AN OLD STORY
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

NOf course you remember that over

an organ grinder who was grinding out.

Sousa, happening along, found fault with

grinder was attentive, grateful and obedi-

street with large placard hanging to
his instrument heralding himself as a
pupil Of Sousa." This excellent story
has been told over and over again, With
variations The teachers" have in turn

Peculiar Canal Work.

Mr.. Alfred J. Holley, president Of the
Frank S. Deronde company, charges that
the Panama canal commission awarded
a contract for roofing to>a bidder whose
bid was $1,000 higher than his, on a
$4,000 contract. Mr.. Holley also
charges that there, was mystery CON
nected with the opening of the bids. In
his affidavit Mr.. Holley states that at
the hour specified for opening the bids
representative Of the purchasing
agent appeared and said there were
several bids which had been locked in
the safe by the purchasing agent, who
was absent. Objection was raised to
the opening Of the bids in the absence
Of the documents said to be in the safe,
but they were overruled and the bids
were opened and read. About half an
hour afterward the, assistant Of the
purchasing agent entered the room with
some fifteen or twenty papers which he
| claimed were the bids which had been
locked in the safe. The contract was
finally awarded to one Of these belated
| bids.
The plain implication is that there
was time between the hour when the
first bid was opened and the time when
! the so-called bids taken from the safe
were produced to have made up one
Mr.. Deronde was not satisfied and went
to Chairman Shonts with his complaint
He claims that Chairman Shonts sent
him to much less desirable climate
