4 CHEERING TRADE.

Not long ago it was announced that agents of the British War Office were in this country buying horses for the British cavalry, and now it is an- nounced that the British government has ordered from the United States 10O,O00 sets of horseshoes.
 Of course there's reason for this, as certain advertisements say. The United States is producing good horse- shoes and they can be sold at price that induces the British government to give its own 'iron interests" the go-by and trade with the horseshoe makers of this country. The incident Is significant and cheering one. It ought to even cheer Wall street lit- tie. Next to water Wall street keeps it's eye on iron, and this horseshoe deal comes at time when iron seems more solid and useful than water.

JUSTICE CAN BE 700 SPEEDY.

Much fault is found with the slow ness of justice and there is much req son for the faultf1nding. But justice can be too swift. It Is often too swift in police courts, where many of the prisoners are put through the mill" and into jail in short order, Judge Mckenzie Cleland, a police court judge in Chicago, has been studying his duty and his opportunities and he has come to some interesting and im- portant conclusions. This is the way he talks: I saw the mistake 1t is to send men to prison. I'm not radical. My opinions, 1t seems to me, are based on common sense. think the purpose of the law is to keep men out of pris- on The people of community should love the law, not fear it. Mon- ey spent in prosecution and punish ment is about thrown away. It should be spent in keeping men and women from going to jail in the first place. don't believe in speedy justice, as it is popularly understood. It doesn't give men fair chance. Especially is 1t un- fair to the poor man, who has not money enough to hire expensive coun- sel. I want every prisoner who comes before me to feel that am a friend to be depended upon. I want them all to feel that as long as they don't go back on me won't go back on them.
 suiting his action to his opinions, since last December, when Judge Cleland began his work, seven hum dred men and women have been par oled in his court, and of these ninety per cent are said to have been saved And of the others the judge does not despair It is said that not one of the
 seven hundred has committed crime that would warrant State interference, This seems to be a decided improve ment on the accounts of business done
 by police court judges in swiftly deal-
 ing with cases and putting offenders
 In jail to burden the community and
 become worse than they were when
 they went there. It may not be true,
 as was recently asserted, that crinn- finals are the ones who are caught, but lit is true that there isn't as much diff ference between those called criminals land those who are not so called as lmany thoughtlessly think.

ROCKEFELLER RIGHT.

It will be remembered that a few weeks ago John D. Rockefeller of the Standard Oil company was sum- moned to Chicago to give testimony in suit before Judge Landis accus- ing "the octopus" with violations of the law which have since been esti- mated in fines to represent over $29,- 00O,O00. MT. Rockefeller obeyed the summons, as of course he was obliged to do.
 The government in summoning cit izens into court as witnesses agrees to pay a stipulated fee and mileage. The federal officials figured the mile age from Pittsfield to Chicago to be 1,712 miles, which at the rate of five cents a mile would entitle him to $S5.60 for the round trip. MT. Rockefeller figured out the trip to cover 1,449 miles and the amount due him $7245, difference of $13.15. This is the amount that will be sent him.
 This is a very agreeable little ob- ject lesson in the enforcement of the law. It is true that MT. Rockefeller does not need the money, but the law says it is his and therefore he gets it. Surely no self-respecting citizen wants the richest man we have to be doing its work for nothing. Nor does he want him overpaid. Who knows but what this little incident may start law abiding wave at the suggestion of the man who is said to be law less? Surely everything comes to him who waits.

NOTABLE.

If the notions of babies are as im- portant to the scientific and unscien- tifio world as they have lately seemed to be, of course the notions of young gentlemen and young ladies are not less important. So that may be called "a notable contribution to sci- entific thought" which has been made by the head of the department of ed- ucation in the University of Califor- mia. He investigated the degree of be- lief which young Californians between sixteen and nineteen years old have in popular superstitions, such as ''If you drop dish rag you will have com pany," If you find horseshoe you will have good luck" etc Of the 7,176 replies to specific questions received from S75 normal school students, 55 per cent. were distinct affirmations of unbelief, and of those who admitted belief the ratio of partial to entire be- lief was practically as two is to one, there being 1,099 answers admitting full belief. The adage which has most believers is the one which runs, "If you give your friend the present of knife or any edged instrument 1t will cut your friendship"
 Very impressive. Everybody inter-
 ested will look with eagerness for the

 facts which will be prepared" and

4 PROPER PROTEST.

Boston knows her rights, and know ing dares maintain them now, even
 as she has before dared So it is not at all surprising to read this in the Boston Transcript; Old Ironsides was Boston built, largely Boston manned, and sailed from Boston to win famous victories. If there is such a thing as
 moral right" to the custody of the frigate, Boston has it. If Assistant Secretary Newbury thinks that more summer tourists would see the Con- stitution at Washington and Annapo- lis than at Boston, he should visit Boston and learn better. The Consti- tuition is always among friends at Boston, and has a reception every day. If the rejuvenated Constitution is more in the way at the Charlestown Navy Yard than was the hulk Con- stitution, let her be removed to the lagoon above the new Charles River Dam, between the dam and the new bridge. There in the quiet waters, the most noticeable object in the im- mediate scenery, the proud old frigate would safely rest, still near her birth place in the city that is proud of the

THE M1r1e lrED PROPHETS.

Prophet Johnson has escaped over whelming contumely by the skin of his teeth, and the prophet of Saddle Hill is also doing quite well. So far just about as we'll as Prophet Johnson. It didn't rain as Prophet Johnson said 1t would, and it hasn't been as dry as the Saddle Hill prophet said 1t would be. Both prophets have retired for a season to their lairs. Neither of them is entitled to come out and say T told you SO" And prophecy in Connecticut is in as betwixt and between state as speculation is In Walt street.
 But would that it had rained so as to fully establish Prophet Johnsons rank among the prophets. And would that we do not have to finally find that the Saddle Hill prophet is the one to tie to, or to stone because he was prophet of evil. It is much too dry. There Is a good chance around here for some of the weepers in novels who, We are told, "water the earth with their tears"

these errors in the organization of the General Assembly, together with the mischievous rules which govern, have fooled a legislature of men oth- erwise competent to manage their own affairs, and made this controver- sy possible.
 It was because this was the only conceivable explanation of the extra ordinary situation which arose with the prolongation of the sessions of the General Assembly that We deter mined to find out if possible the truth. It has now been fully demonstrated that it is of comparatively little im- portance, for the time being at any rate, whether the sessions of the Gen eral Assembly are held annually or once in two years. What is of im- portance and to that practically ev- cry member of the legislature queried agrees, is that special legislation shall be given its walking papers, that com mittee work shall be done with more system and that the lobby shall be thrown out of the capitol building. That much accomplished and the State will be in position to determine whether annual sessions and a time limit are necessary in addition. To have determined this out of the mouths of legislative leaders of both parties can only be considered g. tri- umph for the agencies of publicity.

What the Newspapers Say of Proposed
 Legislative Reform.

Nf1dFllorQ SouTdnl.J
 The New Haven Journal x Courier" has had the wit and enterprise to quiz the members of the late General As- sembly as to their views on how to improve working legislation.
 Its first installment of replies was given to its readers yesterday. It Is amid honest bushes that we read the many endorsements of annual ses- sions with d time limit set on each session The Courant," perpetuating the sound notions expressed so often by Senator Hawley, has been advocat- ing this scheme In spite of those who think it is smart to say that once ir ten years would be better We cannot have self-government by neglect.

The thing readers will notice first is the almost universal admission that something is gravely wrong in the leg islative system of this State. Another
 important thing is agreement that too much important legislation is put over
 to the end of the session and then dealt with hurriedly, and most of us have reason to believe that even if this delay is not intentionally caused by
 the seekers of special legislation it is
 the natural result of the attempt to obtain large special privileges, some Of
 which are certainly unjust to other in-
 terests in the State and to the people of the State as a whole
 Any plan which does away with this particular evil will be @ blessing to the state, The prohibition of special leg islation is the simplest and most effi- oient means, but the hardest to ob- tain. Yet if it were established most of the waste of time and most of the temptation to improper legislation would disappear and the lobby which exists for profit would come near dy- ing a natural death. That Is one reason it is so hard to obtain a change There need be no talk of annual ses- sions if that were done.
