TIE INSANITY OF CRIMINALS

If the so-called insane people
knew they would be hanged for
murder, there would be fewer muir
ders committed by "insane" PEG
pie. Every man is more or less in
sane to the extent that he is not at
himself when he takes human life.
1t may be termed emotional IN
sanity" or any other kind OF IN
sanity, The characterization is not
important. What society is con-
cerned in is that a man can take a
life and go UNPUBLISHED. There are
certain occasions when a man is
justified by public sentiment IN
killing a person, but even these oc-
casions the law does not recognize,
and until we establish the fact III
this country the man who takes
the law in his own hands will be
punished for his crime, either by
death or by imprisonment, there
will be a continuation of lawless-
ness and criminal deeds.
The general understanding now
| is that if man commits murder
he will 90 free, unless the circum-
stances are unusually atrOcious and
unless public sentiment is aroused
to high pitch and continues so
until the trial is completed.
This is a most severe reflection
upon our civilization. Law Off
GERS, courts and juries are all re-
sponsiye to public sentiment, and,
while we do not think that they
should be swayed by the sentiment
of the moment or coerced into a
decision contrary to their convic-
! lions because of prevailing public
opinion, yet there is no doubt but
that if public sentimentwould uni
formly and constantly condemn
murder, and demand the punish
ment of murderers, that people
who attempt to commit it would
be less given to obey that impulse
AS it is now, they do not fear The
consequence, as they know tina
the general result of such trials
from one cause or another, or be
cause of one preteXt or another, il
acquittal.
Every such acquittal is an as
sault upon the safety of society
and that freedom to "life, ibert.
and the pursuit of happiness, ;
which the Constitution guarantees

4 MNICIN PLAN.

Although President Diaz wanted to retire from his place some time ago he is doing all he can for his country while he stays in office. He is deeply interested in public education, and his great desire has been to see a first class system of free public schools made universal throughout the country as the best means for assuring the pro- gress of the Mexican people. So na- tional educational congress is to be held in Mexico next year at the call of the federal government. The principal sub- ject for discussion will be furnished by a project for giving control of all the public schools in the country to the na tional government. The constitution of Mexico does not at present permit the control of either primary, secondary or professional instruction by the federal is not difficult to overcome, for the amendment of the constitution is an easy process. At present, public edu- cation in Mexico is under the control of the several states. In some states the public school system is remarkably ef- ficient. In Palisco. for instance. school attendance is universally compulsory. and the schools are free, from the prim- ary to the university grade; if stu dent is too poor to meet his expenses at the university, the state furnishes the means for support.
 Success to Mexicos new school sys- tenn when she gets it. And may it not be too faddish.

the cruel rocks that fringe the north
 ern coasts of Scotland. Among these galle0ns was the Florida, with a vast fortune in gold and silver stored in her hold. Just how the Florida was wrecked We do not know, but if you go to the
 library and get a copy of Charles kingsley's great tale Of adventure, Westward Ho." you will find in the
 last chapter but one a magnificent de- scription of the loss Of the Santa Cath
 erina, one of the stoutest ships in the Armada. That will give you some , idea of how the Florida was driven
 to her death on the hidden ledges in . that lonely bay in North Scotland.
 It was pretty deep water where the Florida went down, but not so deep but that for years and years afterward her timbers could be seen half buried by ] the shifting sands. Among those tim

CONNECTICUT FORETER.

The naval constructors are said to be still confident that the Connecticut, un- der construction at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, will win in the race with the Louisiana, the sister ship building un- der contract at Newport News. For months the latter ship has been ahead in the work, and 1t has been held in some quarters that the demonstration would be entirely in favor of that yes sel. to the end that there would be substantial evidence of the greater fa- cility in building naval ships under contract as compared with those con- structed at a government plant by hir- ed labor. The Connecticut is now ahead of the other ship, with every evidence that the gain will be maintained to the end, and the ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard will be finished some weeks before the Louisiana and placed in commission first. Another comparison of some importance in this connection is that of cost. There are those who believe that the difference in the final cost will be so much in favor of the Louisiana that the cost of the ship at Brooklyn will be 25 per cent. greater than that of the other vessel. The naval constructors know now that there will be a great difference and that it will he against the Connecticut, for the reason that wages are higher in the Brooklyn Navy Yard than at Newport News, and the hours of the days work shorter. The extra cost on the Con- necticut will be fully 10 per cent, but most of the experts who are making es- inmates say that the extra cost will be within that margin.
 Three cheers for Connecticut and fol the Connecticut! Long may they bott float!

GIYE US MORE4Y BETTER 1foSEl

Money is under much suspicion now adays. Some say that much of it is tainted" Others say that it is apt to be germIaden. And still others say it is too elusive to be real good, kind money. The germ-laden money is just now most talked about. The Bankers Magazine comments Representative Gaines clean money bill, citing the fact reported by bacteriologist that dirty banknotes, greenbacks and silver cer- tifcates average 73,OOO bacteria, while fairly clean notes average 2,250. On dirty cents and dimes there are from 26 to 40 bacteria, some of which age dis ease germs. Bacteria-laden money, it is said, has caused the death of mny per- sons. 4 Boston man says he lost his thumb by getting a pin scratch while handling dirty money, and other more serious losses from filthy lucre are re- ported. At present it costs from 60 cents to $12O per 100 to send notes to and from Washington. This cost is pro- hibitory. It is proposed to cheapen the transmission of notes, so that the peo- pie may have sanitary money. Money goes all over the globe and brings back the disease of every cline. If it comes from plague-ridden districts of the East, it is still legal tender which peo- pie must accept.
 And so forth and so on. Let us all root for more and better money.
