tendency Of the age is evident among
the courts Of Germany as iu every
sphere Of life, and the Kaiser may be
compared TO growing trust which viii
eventually absorb ali the small and
weak competitors.
If the Kaiser has been less active IN
this direction than he might have been,
his lack Of Initiative has probably been
due to considerations OF self-preservu-
zion. Although the little ktstcs WI
Germany have been badly governed FOR
centuries, there Is no doubt that the
existence OF so many courts brings the
luonnchial idea home 60 many Ger
mans to whom it might otherwise be
foreign. The little German courts are
huIwarks of political conservatism and

Three kings, six grand dukes, four

OF these states are so small that the

The Hoch Case

The reprieve granted Johann Hoch
within an hour of the time when he
was to hang was granted that he might
have his case reviewed by the supreme
court. In order that he might have
the review it. was necessary that he
should find the money for the cost of
preparing the record Of the trial. This
amounts to about $1,1OO. If some one
had not found it for him he would have
hanged. ~.
The incident suggests an inquiry.
What kind of Justice is it that will take
man s life in default of some money
to pay the expense of a review of his
trial, a review which is admitted to
be perfectly propera Hoch may be
guilty. The state of Illinois may be
entitled to his life, but SO long as there
is chance that mistake has been
made in his case, the condemned should
haye the benefit of that chance. This
is what supreme courts are for-the cor
rection Of errors in trial courts. In
Illinois it seems that a man may have
the benefit Of the law if he can pay
5 for1t, but If he cannot he may hang
This may be law, but it is not equity.
Hoch's is case which directly con-
n tradicts the argument advanced by
Judge Taft in his Yale lecture. The
weakness Of the administration of law in
permitting appeals and the consequent
escape of many who should be con.
demned he inveighed against strongly.
$ But as soon as concrete case arises
like that of Hoch, it is seen that the
American people are against the Taft
position and in favor Of the protection
Of the life and liberty Of the citizen
to the last legal ditch. Already the
Hoch incident has inspired movement
in the state Of Illinois to guarantee to
men in Hoch IS predicament free access

The circumstance has suggested to an
onlooker the. celebrated western poker
game, in which a man lost a large
"pot' by not knowing that 1skilli-
luz hand beat a royal flush, and later
in the evening was stripped once more
when he held :killilu by not knowing
that this species Of hand can win but
once in an evening. 45.... a..'f>#
The financial world has been loaning
large sums to Japan to- conduct her
war operations, and as the war pro
crossed favorably to her she has placed
her loans at lower rates Of interest.
1t is hardly possible that the fnanciers
of Europe and America are taking Kill
lilu chances on getting their money
back. twill probably be found that
Japan is waving any elements of
strabismus in her local laws. When it
comes to dealing with worldwide com
merce it will be just as necessary for
Japan to conform to the usages of
civilization, which recognize the valid
ity Of a contract on the fairness of the
contract itself, and not on the construc-
tion that may be placed upon it by the
domestic law of the country. i.

Shaw Still Standing Pat.

The treasury deficit was not cured by
Secretary Shaw's optimistic report at
the end of the fiscal year. He held
down the deficit to $24,OOO,O0O, but it
was accomplished by trick of book
keeping. The treasury merely held up
June bills and refusedoto pay them I'M
til July. This is shown by the fact
that the excess Of expenditures over re-
ceipts in the first fifteen days of this
month was million dollars a day. The
deficit will grow larger rather than
smaller, and it is likely, when congress
meets, it will be shown that the govern
ment of the United States does not pay
by at least $30,000,O0O. It is unlikely
that congress will abandon the govern
ment, but it will have to look squarely
IN the face the question of making the
institution. self-supporting. =. l
Shaw and Cannon will be for raising
taxes on tea and whisky and may be
for stamp taxes, and there will be a
party In favor of revising the tariff anI
letting in enough of certain kinds Of
manufactured articles to overcome the
difference between income and outgo,
A third party in congress will be for
the cutting down of expenditures. These
will undoubtedly have a hard row to
hoe. Congress cannot accomplish much
IN this direction, since it does not spend
the money it appropriates. Congress
already cuts down the estimates of
heads of departments about fifty million
dollars a year. If there is to be any
further economy, it will have to come
thru moderation of the estimates
themselves. In this direction little car
be expected Of the heads of executive
departments. They have lost the sense
Of economy. They no longer believe il
is immoral for Uncle Sam to spend
money unnecessarily. They have bee,
habituated to the idea Of big coun
try and a worldwide policy. They

The president may be able to DE-
something by investigating some lie
partments in advance Of the meeting al
| congress, as for example the printing
office, and by calling in the bureau
chiefs and impressing upon them tn,
value and virtue Of economical manage
ment. But the president has human
/ limitations. He cannot personally OK
anime the vast bundle Of accounts Oh
nually thrown on the government table
The most he can do in this way is t,

THE UNEASY CHAIR
BRILLIANT ESSAYS I ABOUT

BRILLIANT ESSAYS ABOUT
SOME OF THE MODERN DRAMA
TISTs.-For an analysis Of the work
OF men who are attracting attention
and making an impression thru their
dramatic work, James Huneker s Icon
oclasts, a, new edition Of which was
issued recently, is worthy Of close read
ing. Mr.. Huneker is something of an
iconoclast himself, in spirit at least, 50
that when he comes to- dealing with
Ibsen, Shaw, G;eorl1y, spderman, DAP
nunzio, Maeterlinck and others he is in
company whose spirit lie has sympathy
with and can interpret with satisfac-
tion to his readers 35
Mr.. Huneker gives Ibsen place and
space Of honor, as the high priest Of
the iconoclasts. HeSsays things about
Ibsen that will stickin ones mind for
long and help to illuminate the work OF
the dramatist wherever one may come
upon it,. AS a summing up here is a
comparison one is not likely to forget:
Ibsen.'s words and works may be com
pared to that serpent Of brass erected
by Moses in the midst of his ailing ma
tion, which was at once a symbol and a
prophylactic.

The simple announcement that the Erie
railroad has contracted to dispose Of two
hundred of it's condemned freight ca rs
for 81 car may serve to show how the
money goes in railroadling. Modern
trunk lines do not hesitate to throw away
old equipment for new, and they do not
haggle about the value of the old stun.
