The One Thing Lacking.

Emperor William III. wrote n poem
once which he submitted TO a great lit
erary man who dined ut the castle for
that purpose particularly. The critic
read 1t and found his dual duties In
conflict. He had to advise an amateur
poet with an exceptional power for re
senting a hostile comment. He yielded
only very little TO the exigencies of
the situation. This verse. your maj
esty," he began, seems TO require al
teration in certain respects" The au-
thor took the manuscript and conned

investigation, and many a fellow goes
unwhipped of justice because his at

And on the other hand many a fell
low has an unjust judgment passed
upon him, because the prosecuting
attorney has the last speech to the
jury and garbles the evidence. TAX
ing everything into consideration, we
are of the candid opinion that the av-
erage trial in criminal court is more
of farce than otherwise, and that
the average prosecution is more of a
persecution, and the average defense
is not defense of justice and de-
Tense of the law. but defense of
crime and criminals, and such will
