aud very little done, 50 long IS our
immigration lsws allow 80 many Of
the criminal class OF foreigners to
enter the country.
OF the second very much can be
said. The managing editors Of the
metropolitan dalles would u~ndoubted-
y claim that their crusade is against
crime and that GO one would be led
to commit an atrocitY by reading
the account Of another in a news
paper. But really, II = man has
criminal tendencies, does not every
account OF a murder, robbery, or
rape suggest a similar exploit to him9
Does an account under heavy head
lines, telling how Yesterday there
we're five murders and taree attempts
to murder, how onlv one Of the
murderers was caught and how that
one was released on $500 bond. tend
to diminish crime? 1t not only
suggests crime but also gives good
assurance to the murderer that he
stands a good chance Of escaping
arrest.
But the main encouragement the
criminal gets is from the courts and
laws. Pseudo humanitarians have
50 softened and weakened the laws
that criminals have only contempt
for them. Abuses which have grown
out Of the system OF appeals and the
reversals Of verdicts on tecbnicalities
have made It possible to escape the
death penalty after almost any kind
OF crime.
Justice Brewster has said that what
is needed In this country Is ne esta6-
lishment Of a greater confidence 10 the
summary and certain punishment Of
the criminal. There can be no such
confidence while the present system
of getting jurors continues, while
endless cross-examination is permitted
lest some ''erEor'' creep into the evil
dence, or while Supreme courts
attach as much importance to nom
inal as to real derrors."

call ''crIme waves will continue to

tartan movement aud court and legie.
la,ures see that their duty is to pro-
vided safeguards for the people and

How 10 Cure
Your Piles

If sufferers from piles and rectal dis
eases would first try a reliable laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin instead
Of using external salves and SUPPOSE
tories, or having an operation performed,
they would save themselves a world of
trouble, expense and pain. The reason
is that In nine cases out of ten piles are
the result Of habitual constipation, and
when once the constipation Is thoroughly
cured the piles disappear.
Piles are to constipation what pim-
Piles are to bad blood, simply an out
ward symptom. And just as face lotions
aren't half as goodfo pimples as a good
blood medicine, so salves and suppositories
aren't half as good for piles as a reliable iaxa-

The disclosures In regard to the
changes in the Kansas City police force
sre decidedly regretable, since they
would indicate that the Governor Of
Missouri is resorting to very question
able methods, to say the least, in or
ganizinga a machine to further bis sena-
torial ambitions. It would seem that
the Governor has cast aside the min
isters, who have heretofore been bis
mainstay, and is placing sole depend
ence upon corruptlonists, repeaters
and ballot-box suffers. There we're
hopes when the ouStiug Of Rozzelle
and Hayes was announced that Mr..
FOX would be able to give a salts
factory explanation OF his action; but
every utterance from him on that
subject has merely placed HIN in a
deeper hole. So now Mr.. Folks

Of his influence the recent legislature

good. Altogether the principles he
advocates are wholesome and right
But he is ambitious and he has let his

who still blindy believe him a saint
