An article on Criminal Law Re-
FORM" by George w. Alger. in The At
lantic for April emphasizes some phases
of subject which is sure TO press for
more serious consideration. It is peril
nently shown that lynching, one Of the
blacklist stains on American life, is
merely a reaction from the futility of
the criminal law. which, to be respected,
must be respectable. But beyond that
the necessity of applying criminal penal
ties to a Vast class of offenses peculiar
TO modern Industrial and business forms,
necessity which is only lately fairly
dawning upon public consciousness, must
compel as the condition precedent thor
ough reform of criminal procedure.
The defects of American criminal law,
rotten ripe as they have grown to be in
the lapse OF more than century, never
theless represent humane and honor
able origin. Our forefathers went to
extremes to protect the individual from
the cruelties and outrages Of the old

against possibility Of wrong or oppres-
sion from the state. These fundamental
barriers by themselves, under conditions
here, would have transformed the peril

TO the community, but our courts by
construction have built them so i'm

under our constitutional safeguards was

technical refnements by which the Eng

GENERAL COL STRIKE ATERrEp


Notwithstanding the union, coal miners
and the associated operators have failed
to agree at their reconvened conferences,
the paramount interest Of the public.
which far transcends that of the i'm
mediate parties to the labor dispute, has
been saved from, the disaster of a gen
eral strike in the bituminous regions.
This fortunate escape is due I'm large
part to internal divisions both among
the miners and among the operators. A
minority OF the latter were willing to
grant the wage scale of 1903. or an
increase Of 300 per cent, and many more
would yield 1t as a last alternative to
general strike. and notice was given
that the concession would be made no
matter II the majority Of the operators
stood out against concession. But this
would be of no avail If the miners
organization had stood TO the Ryan
resolution adopted at the Indianapolis
convention month ago, prohibiting
agreement in any district until there
should be agreement in all districts.
The crisis OF the controversy was
plainly not passed. after the impossl-
bility OF a general agreement had been
demonstrated until the conservative ele-
ment of the miners, led by President
Mitchell himself. on Friday carried by a
good majority a motion formally re-
scinding the Ryan resolution and au-
thorizing agreements with operators in
the several districts who Will pay the
wage advance. How serious the issue
among the miners themselves was is
shown by the fact that President Mitchell
declared before them the adoption OF the
motion TO be condition Of his remain
ing at the head OF their organization.
II is clear also that many Of the miners
were convinced that they could not,
under the circumstances, successfully
maintain a struggle on the extreme
ground OF the Ryan resolution.
Fuel production in the bltuminous
regions therefore VIII not cease, al
though many of the mines will sus-
pend. II is to be remembered that there
are extensive nOnunion mines not az
fected at all by the conferences just

INSURANCE.

This issue of The Bee again devOtes
considerable attention to the subject of
insurance in its multitudinous phases.
II the insurance investigations and dis
closures of mismanagement and corrup-
ton during the last year have done one
thing more than another they have
awakened the public to a realization of
the tremendous scope and influence of
the institution of insurance in the mod
ern industrial and social world.
While serious abuses have been I'M
covered, the necessity of insurance for
all the hazardous qualifications of COM
mercial and personal relations has been
reaffirmed and emphasized. The vast
field Of fire insurance, for example, has
been practically untouched, because, as
1t Is conducted, the opportunities for
mischievOus faithlessness are fewer
than in life insurance. The same is
true. although TO a lesser extent, as re-
CARDS insurance against dishonesty or
liability. although the business of the
casualty companies is likely to undergo
some Transformation. The cataclysm in
life insurance has really involved but
a few of the life insurance organiza-
tons and the nBvement for regenera-
ton is well under way.
The remarkable thing about the whole
insurance situation is that notwith-
standing the severe trial none of the
life companies, big or little, have been
thrown into bankruptcy either by the
plundering of their resources by those
on the inside or by the impairment of
confidence Of those on the outside. We
may safely say. therefore, that insurance
in its numerous forms, and probably in
forms yet to be devised, is an integral
part of the progress made by civilized
nations. The total of insurance transac.
lions is bound to increase without re.
spect to occasional setbacks, because
the principle of securing protection
against unforeseen events through co.
operation has become thoroughly estab.
lished and has indicated its right to
permanent recognition.

The day Of All Fools, the one day in the
year
When every dummed mortal is free
To tell all his neighbors, with never a fear
or trouble what fools they may be-,
And oft when the day with its folly has
passed
And the heat Of our nonsense has cooled,
We wonder: (which one as the fool should
be classed,
The fooler or he who was foOled2'
We scan the eonunerum, our brain In
And then give it up as too hefty for us.
No man. though as wise as the serpent. OF

AS free as the dovelet from harm,
Unless ne be blind, can escape from the net
That's spread by some jokers fool arm,
Wherever he wanders some trap ~ IN wait,
Some innocent looking anair,
To stir up his weak curiosity trait
And give him a FOOLS cap 20 wear.
And into his ears, like the bray Of mule,
Comes the laugh Of the fool who has made
him fool
It's the season OF folly the day OF all days
When frOlic and fun are the rule,
When staid men indulge In ridiculous
plays
Act in fooling the part OF the fool.
The wisest go up against some siuy game
That proves they at times may be green,
Then bushes envelope their faces I'm Shame
To think what darned fools they have
been.
But Others. when fooled-far too many. we

CAMPAIGN FUND ISSUE NOVEL
The argument in the case Of former
Vice President Perkins Of the New York
Life develops the singular fact that this
is the first time the question has been
raised I'm a court whether a contribution
from the funds Of such a corporation to
political campaign committee consti-
tutes the crime Of larceny, felonious in
tent being presumed from the act itself.
Prosecuting Attorney jerome is com
searched diligently no case could be
found in which such an issue had arisen.
1t is Of course common knowledge that
innumerable political contributions Of
corporation funds have been made; that
in fact such contributions have been an
almost universal custom since there
have been corporations, and especially
during the last two generations. These
acts could hardly have been in contem-
plation of the criminal laws or they
would have been challenged in court
decades ago.
The raising of the issue at this time,
whatever may be judicially held as to
the bearing Of the law. at least signally
demonstrates the progress of public
sentiment along moral lines. 1t is also
the harbinger Of legislation providing
stricter safeguards of penal character
against a multitude Of acts of corpora
ton officers and agents which the public
has heretofore tolerated or condoned.

ern iurist is quoted as aptly saying,
when it is possible to punish an inno-
cent man. We are now struggling with
the problem whether il is any longer
possible to punish the guilty"
But the more serious aspect Of tlss
subject is now presented through publisi
sentiment aroused TO the danger from
notification Of the criminal law by
corporations, their officers, agents and
confederates, and this aspect cannot be
better stated than I'm Mr.. Ayers words:
A system too complicated to deal out
certain Justice TO common offenders, ignor-
ant and brutal poor in purse and influence.
can never adequately deal with our new
class Of big business criminals, with men
who get rich by fraud. the corporation In
haters and wreckers. the faithless trustees
and grating directors, the exploiters OF
municipalities. the magnates who give
bribes and the bosses who take them the
trust operators who sin against honesty
I'm business. who break the law against
monopolies, who give and take rebates.
How can predatory wealth, powerful, in
iuential, often entrenched in ONCE, be
punished by a system which creaks. groans
and often breaks down. in bringing a
border rufiian to justice?
The signs \are multiplying on every
hand that the people are awaking to the
criminal side of the evils which are
depressing them and with which they
are now graphing. But it may well
be questioned whether they can achieve
complete victory without also solving
the problem OF reform of the criminal
law.
