This is fast becoming an age of
freedom of thought, freedom of opin-
ion and freedom of speech. Dogmat-
ic ideas are fast dying out. In poll
tics, in religion and in everything that
forms the basis of political economy,
people are becoming more liberal and
generous in their views and more toll
Grant of opposite opinions entertained
by others. The greatest reformers
of the day are men of advanced
thought, indulgent ideas--men who
see good even outside or beyond their
own purview OF action, and who move
the world by taking its people into
their confidence.

FACTS FROM FRANCE.

The Grand Opera House Of Paris has
a regular orchestra of ITO performers.
This is the largest orchestra belonging
to any theater.
There are very few millionaires In
France. Outside of Paris no one has
died worth as much as 100000 dur
ing the past two years.
There is now pending in the French
chamber of deputies a bin abolishing
courts martial In time of peace and
providing that French soldiers and sail
ors accused Of offenses shall be tried
by civil tribunals like other citizens.
Often in France manservant is en-
ployed to do homework which In Amer

work. He makes the beds, sweeps and
cleans the rooms. goes to market cooks
and sometimes even does the washing.

There has been much praise of
President Roosevelt of late-much
that is deserved and much that is
ephemeral He has been credited with
advocating Democratic-or Jefferson
ian.-ideas, which is perhaps true He
is a man of opinions, and he dares
to assert them; and many of them are
good. But he is no more a Democrat,
no more capable of leading the Demo-
cratic hosts and of espousing their
cause, than the rankest mugwump Of
his party. The prime tenets of his
political belief are at complete var
lance with true Democratic doctrine.

How an Irishman Tolls a Story.

Irish wit loses more in reduction to
cold type than that of any other nation
on earth" At least, that is the opinion
of a ST. Louis Hibernian, who himself
the article in question, says the St.
Louis, Globe-Democrat.
When an Irishman perpetrates a
witticisln, it is always tinged with a
personality. which in print or even in
the retelli1g is often completely lost.
There is always something's wink, a.
smile, an arch expression, shrug or
gesture-tlnat emphasizes the joke, and
must be seen to be appreciated. Some-
times an Irish witticism, put into type,
is mistaken for mere dullness or super
stition.
~ remember once hearing an Irish
man tell story about a wonderful old
time king on the North Coast, who
caught the devil at some trick and
for a. punishment made Old Harry
carve his own head on one Of the cliffs
sermon would be preached. No one
could apparently be more sincere than
the story teller. He seemed to believe
the legend as devoutly as though It
came directly from Holy Writ
after he had wound up the narra-
tive, noticing Il smile on my face, he
stared in apparent surprise. Don't ye
behave it? sure. the old kings hammer
and chisel is kept in the church be-
yant, and what better proof could ye
ax?' and he gave a wink and a. grin
and spread out both hands in q. ges-
ture Of expostulation, just as law
yer would when posing before a jury
and putting his most convincing argu-
ment in the form Of n question.
ut was the most exquisite bit Of act
ing I ever saw. The tone Of perfect
conviction in which he told the story
was inimitable. Then, the contrast
from solemnity to comic dismay at
the idea of any one being so grossly
incredulous as not to believe the storN
and the wink, which indicated that he
didn't believe 1t himself and was sim
ply talking for amusement, We're
worthy of any actor that ever trod the
boards. Yet, in the type all this was
lost. To appreciate properly the wit
of an Irish story, you must hear the
Irishman tell it,"

Clouds.

When the heart contracts, the best
that is in us shrivels. When love van
ishes man is not only a cynic, but a
pessimist and skeptic. The decline Of
love, Christian love, brotherly love,
means a decline in everything that
makes for the glory Of God in man.
Where no wood is the fire goes OUT; ;
and where no love is the zeal Of the
heart, for that which is best in the
world, is extinguished. There are
three sets Of men who may be said to
be under a cloud--the skeptic, the pes
simist and the cynic. should say they
resent respectively the clouds over
faith, hope and love. Skepticism Is the
cloud over faith; pessimism is the cloud
over hope: cynicism is the cloud over
love. Now, Of these three, the great
est cloud is the last 1t is sad thing

appearing lad Of is years. 1t is diff
ficult to imagine this same boy skulk-
ing through the alleys and breaking
into houses with a revolver in his hand,
ready to shoot down the first person
who tries to interfere with his es-
cape.
There may be on old woman waiting
for hin1-his mother. When the boy
greets her with a kiss and she takes
a seat near him the Jurors heart soft
ems and he says to himself that 1t
were better to give the boy another
chance. When freed, the same boy is
likely to begin where he left off, only
he is now a desperate man who knows
that the penitentiary stares him in the
face If he is captured again and he is
more determined than ever on shooting
to kill rather than be captured.
"As nation we are too good heart
ed. Too often the criminal is set free
to begin over again and the public suf
fers. Then another reason for the mis-.
carriage of Justice is the effort made by
many citizens to escape jury service.
There are reasons for this, one of which
is the discomfort a juror is subjected
to while waiting to come to a verdict.

Crime Rampant in United States.

/ Crime Rampant in United States.
Judge Marcus Kavanaugh. of Chica-
go, is a Catholic, therefore his views
of certain modern tendency win
prove interesting Just now. Last Tues
day he spoke out pretty plainly OH the
duty of women to restrain their tears
before jury.
"One woman CRYING around court
room is worth twoN lawyers" said the
Judge Tuesday afternoon in an address
to the West Side Sunday Club, a Negro
organization which met at No. 682
Austin avenue. The average juror is
too easily misled hy the clever mach
nations of the modern criminal law
yer. He knows The value of playing
on the sympathies Of the jury and
does not neglect any opportunity of
arousing that sympathy. A woman is
and weeps. A woman relative of the
prisoner, with her handkerchief to her
face, can do more to save him from
just punishment than all of the argu-
ments of his attorneys" The subject
of Judge Kavanaugh's address was
the enforcement Of the Law"
There We're $500 homicides in the
United States last year," said he. Dur
ing the five years Of the Civil War in
the United States when 100000 men
stood up and shot at each other in
battle, there was a total of $4,000 men
killed by gunshot wounds exclusively.
Many others died Of disease, but it is
noteworthy that in the last five years
| $4,000 people have died in the United
! States at the hand of assassins, more
than all the mon who were killed in the
great Civil War conflict Last year
, there were 173 homicides in Chicago.
"The reasons for the prevalence of
crime in Chicago and this country are
the law and the method Of administer
ing the law. Our laws are honeycomb-
! ed with technica ities. If a warrant Is
sworn out for the arrest Of man for
stealing money, the warrant must read,
lawful money of the United states.'
"a defendant is entitled to go free
unless he is proved to have commit
ted an act as charged in the indict-
ment. We, therefore, have system
which makes the punishment Of crime
dimcult. Every time there is a mis-
carriage of justice 1t is an encourage

defendant, who often sit in the back

ceedings.

increasing population, as well as
abroad, than there was even few
years ago. Moreover, the cotton
planters of the Southern states are
in better financial condition than for
years, and larger proportion of
them can hold on to their crops
longer than usual. There is a strong
tendency to do this, and the effect
is almost sure to be an increase in
prices later on. 1t is hardly probable
that until the price advances to II 1-2
