After one year of Sunday closing in

Sunday arrests for the year under the
closing order have. been reduced 80 per

decreased rs per cent. That pretty
nearly reveals the part that saloons play
in the disorders and the crimes of a great
city. In commenting on these figures
the Kansas City Star says: -

Seven Years for Bad Intentions

-Four men left Saltwater prison to-
day, after spending seven years within
It's walls for crime they did not COM
init. They were found guilty and SEN
fenced as train robbers. Now the state
board OF pardons, supported by the
trial judge, the prosecuting attorney
and the officials of the railroad COM
pany whose train was held up, declares
the men innocent of the crime charged
On the face Of it the affair is a.
grlevous outrage on justice. It seems
to rise In answer to the dictum of
Judge Brewer, that it is no longer DOS
sible in this country for an innocent
man to be convicted. There is another
phase of the story, however. When the
tour men were arrested in Moorhead
they had in their possession a full set
OF burglars and safeblowers' tools.
They have since admitted that thew
were on the point of robbing bank
over in North Dakota. The evidence
to convict them of the train robbery
consisted of those tools, and the fact
that they were caught within driving
distance of the scene Of the robbery
On that evidence they were convicted
and it is now plain that they were
wrongly convicted. 1t cannot be said
tho, that the four have suffered any
grievous wrong. They have really
served seven years for planning to rot
a bank. It is a rough justice, incon
sistent with the canons of the law, but
illustrating the hard road travelled by
the transgressor.

The President and the Packers

4uS KIcS1NCub dAu bl1C nOtAS4 -
President Roosevelt did not mince
matters in his message to congress re-
garding the Humphrey decision. He
called it miscarriage of Justice, and
stated his belief that not another fed
eral judge could be found who would
decide the matter as Humphrey did.
The special protest against Judge
Humphreys decision is that he took
advantage of the fact that the govern
ment could not make an appeal to set
himself up as court of last resort on
question which is of momentous i'm
portance to the very life Of the govern
ment. The packers combine was very
powerful and a radiantly insolent one.
1t never expected to be prosecuted in
earnest and when it saw what was COM
ing it was for a moment dazed, then IN
dignant and>fnally furious at the presi-
dent. Immediately all the strings be-
gan to be pulled and the immunity plea
was sprung. At first the country was
inclined to look upon this as a playful
effort to gain time. Nobody dreamed
of it's becoming complete bar to the
trial Of the cases on their merits. The
sustaining Of this practical plea OF
guilty stunned the country. ~
The attorney general gave vent to
| his indignation and establishment and
the president privately said he could
not understand how such a decision
could have been made. 1t appeared as
! tho the government was up against a
hard situation. If it dropped the
packers cases right where Judge Hum,
phrey put in his hoof it confessed its
impotency to deal with a serious ques
ton. 1t might even be suspected OF
insincerity in having started fight fol
political effect and retired from it un
der cover of technical decision.
But the government was in earnest
and the gentlemen who took the i'm
munity bath may have cause to regret
the excellent service done them by al
easy Judge. The president has recon-
mended to congress the passage of al
act giving the government the RICH
of appeal in such cases as that Of thu
packers This does not mean the RICH
of appeal after the trial of {
cause upon it's merits, or where the de
PENDANT has been actua lily put in jeop
ardy. but applies to the preliminar,
stages Of a suit.
The responsibility for this stir re
mains entirely with Judge Humphrey
He knew what he was about. He I'm
derstood the Importance Of the cases
He could not have been ignorant o
the precedent which puts the burden
of an appeal upon the party having tn
right to appeal and tends to absolv
indicted persons upon technical grounds
He chose the narrow technical path an
appears to have made the mistake o
his life. This is not Of very great i'm
portance to anyone but Judge Hum
phrey But it is of Importance tina
the president and his attorney genera
refusing to quail before the packers
combine, have determined, so far a
they can, to protect the governmen
from any more Humphrey decisions
: There will be other combines to des
with; in fact, there are rods in pick
for some already. Henceforth the1

PLANNING A zoo
FOR MINNEAPOLIS
CINCINNATI EXPERT GIVES SOME
POINTERS TO PARK PEOPLE.
Farview Park Selected as the Best
Available Place for Wild Animal
Collection, Which Shall Be Accessible
and geographically Desirable for the
Care and Exhibition of Specimens.

Farview park is recommended as the
most available place for a geological
garden by s. A. Stephan, general man
ager of the Cincinnati geological garden,
who spent yesterday looking over the
parks of Minneapolis. He visited
Lake Harriet, Minnehaha, Loring, Far
view and other parks. He says that
there is a fairly desirable location at
Minnehaha park, but it would be neces-
sary to sacrifice many fine trees and
groves, which would be more valuable
to the park system for picnic parties
which frequent Minnehaha. Moreover,
Minnehaha is too far away to be easily
accessible by visitors who have only
few hours to spend in the parks.
The other parks. he says, are too
fiat for the purpose. The gardens
should be located where the ground is
high and hilly, SO that the grounds may
be quickly drained and easily kept dry.
For these reasons he recommends Far
view park, which is not only well adap-
ted for an animal park, but can be
reached in a few minutes from the
heart of the city.
Farview, however, is not large enough
for an extensive geological park, as it
contains only twenty-five acres, where
| as twice that much ground would be
much better.
