1t is one of the evidences of I'M
DERIVING decency in human nature
that so many folks are expressing a
sneaking hope that j. Edward O'SuI-
Ivan Addicks may make good" in
his great venture in Siberia. There
seems TO be fun confirmation of the
report that he has secured the huge
contract of doubie-tracking the ST.

eminent
No man altogether lacking in at
tractive parts could ever have re-
habilitated himself in such fashion
as Addicks has done since his politi-
cal defeats and his financial misfor-
tunes. It is not much wonder that
a lot of people who have regarded
him as quite the most undesirable
politician should wish him a chance
TO do better next time. Addicks is
genius in some business aspects,
and his especial genius ought to
carry him long way in Russia.

Iactful Missionary Work.

When IT comes TO carrying the Cos
pei of Christianity to all the world
and making all the world accent
it, too-the United States has ever
been at the front. This country does
more missionary work and spends
more money on it than any other
nation. Therefore, especial salts
faction must be taken in the mag
nificent piece of missionary strategy
which the Philippine Commission
has executed in statute il has Just
promulgated for the further propa-
cation of the Christian religion in

squeamishness about the hell-roar-

Doubtless il merely indicates that
we are really inferior in zeal to our
English cousins; but. at any rate.
there has been undeniable prejudice
in this country against the pro-

Therefore il is noted with much
satisfaction that the Philippine Com

sure reward, not in the next world,
but in this.
The commission, with one stroke
of its inspired pen. has executed a
bit of legislation which will, no
doubt, make all Filipinos Chris

quainted with IT. The law is so sim

Standard on Its Knees.

If the Standard Oil Company has
any friends they are too tactful to
allow the community to discover
their identity. There may be some
other organization or interest in
this broad land as sadly friendless
as the oil monopoly, but its name
doesn't readily occur. Likewise,
there may De some interest which
shows less concern about its unpop-
ularity; but its identity, also. is
yelled in mystery. The Standard is
quite the most unpopular and quite
the most prosperous institution the
country can boast 1t has been
fighting for ITS own life, and for the
death of all it's competitors, for a
good many years. II has defied
State and Federal laws. or found
means of circumventing them. 1t
has brought the public TO an atti-
tude of something like conviction
that it is beyond the power of gov
ernmental interference; that laws
do not apply TO it, and that it bears
charmed life. and a special license
to do as it pleases.
But the mighty premier of all
trusts is nearing its last fight. 1t

of the United States Government,
and 1t has just sustained a crushing
defeat. True, the reverse is not
final. 1t may yet, at some point in
the intricate processes of the courts,
retrieve itself. But at this time it
is closer TO complete defeat than
ever before.
The circuit court of the big Eighth
circuit has sustained the Govern
ment's petition in the suit for dis
solution Of the trust. This means
that the Standard must answer
the charges made against il by the
Government. IT must go back of its
present corporate existence. and
defend the whole series of outrages
against honest commerce, which,
beginning near "A third of century
ago. have continued down to the
present. 1t must fight on the ground

gagement. Il has been brought to

A Way to Begin.


Anticipated station houses and
cells; Police Court docket crowded
past the possibility of careful trials;
no probation system for adults; no
reformatory; no system Of indie
terminate sentences; all commit
ments for more than six months to
jail of obsolete pattern, and con
gested today by the custody Of $50
convicts in quarters designed for
200.
This rs an outline of Vashington's
discreditable situation as to penal
and correctional methods. For its
ful remedy, the whole penal code
must be revised, the Jail remodeIed.
and Penitentiary built--tasks
which viii require several years.
But the pressure can be much light
ened in the meanwhile by the com
mon sense expedient of beginning
at the beginning.
In this case the beginning is at
the police station. There the Dis
trict now confines overnight ON the
hghtest eharges-drunkenness. dis
orderly conduct, loafing, and the
like-eight prisoners out of every
ten arrested. After a night in a
poor cell, usually overcrowded, each
of these eight is given breakfast
and transported TO the Police Court.
TO crowd on 20 the District Supreme
Court cases which ought never
to go higher. All these eight could
have beer given less hurried trials
and either dismissed or allowed to
pay their small fines at the police
station without confinement even
over night.
Wherefore, the Major and Super
intendent of Police urges the estab-
lishment of minor magistrates
courts. Not only is the need mani
fest on any examination of the ex-
listing conditions, but the means is
proven by the experience Of New
York Baltimore, ST. Louis. and half
a score Of other cities. In Wash
ington the cost would be Iittle-tbe
pay of not more than three Judges
at not more than $4,000 each, to-
gether with small outlay for sta
tionery- In the judgment of officials
in constant touch with the present
system. the total would he more
than balanced by the saving to the
District in eliminating items of keep
and transportation.
The advantages would be many
and important. Business men sum-
moned as witnesses could be ex-
cused with the least possible loss of
time. Careful trials would obviafe
any need for the present practice of
giving cOllaterals, and so put the
poor man among the accused on the
same footing as his comrade with
more means. The Police Court
docket woul1 be so far relieved as
to permit deliberate hearing of all
its cases. The District Supreme
Court would be relieved in its turn
of trying cases which ought never
to have come 10 it from the court
below. The docket would then not
be behind time from ten months to
a year and half.
Magistrates courts will not mean
the millennium in the District of Co
lumbia. They will not mean even a
full correction of our present me-
dieval system of trying and punish
ing criminals. But they viii be a
beginning, and will provide instant
relief. The Major and Superinten-
dent of Police is right They ought
10 be established before another
year has passed.
