woRKINGMEN,s INSURANCE.

With practical unanimity the re- presentatives of organized labor in Massachusetts como forward in sup port of the proposed reform in the me-
 thods of industrial insurance that shall bring it's benefits more nearly within reach of the wage -earners and relieve them of the great and need less cost which the present system involves. How excessive is this cost, MT. Brandeis has shown in his vivid presentation of the case before the legislative committee on insurance. How annoying are the methods em- ployed, Senator Prouty of Spencer in his statement that agents of industrial insurance companies cause so much trouble in the factories that they have to be excluded. And as for the alleged difficulties in the asso- citation of the business of industrial in- surance with that of savings banks more than one of these institutions is now ready to take up the work as soon as authority is conferred by law. A permissive bill such as that which is now before the committee, should be reported and considered upon its merits, The system is correct upon practical commercial principles, and it is calculated to effect great and good.-From the Boston Post.

BRITISH JUSTICE
 IS SWIFT AND SURE

to Consider it if They Found That the Accused Intended to KiIl-Grave l Question Raised. l For those-if there be any--who ap- prove of the American manner of con ducting criminal trials, the rapidity with which the murderer of one of London's best-known merchants was brought to conviction must be shock ing, or even alarming It was case that here would, or might, have pro- vided ingenious counsel with number less excuses for dragging out the trial To begin with, panel after panel would have been examined before the jury box was filled, and then would have come the weary conformation of medical expert with medical expert, endlessly discusssing the delicate shades of mania and the degree of re- sponsibility each left in man who had been able to live among his fellows without seeming to be anything more than queer and vicious.
 But there was none at all of this un- der the English code. The jury was ser cured, the evidence of both sides pre- sented the opposing lawyers summed up, the judge delivered his charge, the Jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and sentence was pronounced-all within working day of less than five hours, It is, indeed a contrast, but there is some little reason for suspecting that the British have gone, if not as far one way as we have the other, at least fur ther than is compatible with the attain ment of justice. The result in the Whitely case comments itself to com- mon sense, but there have been other cases in England in recent years that ended thus promptly, not in the pun ishment of the guilty, but in the inflic- ton of cruel wrong on men perfectly in nocent and whose perfect innocence would certainly have been revealed un- der our more-too-deliberat system of procedure.

 Even those who are most impatient l with American delays in criminal trials must have been startled to read that the English judge, in his charge, told the jury that they must dismiss the question of sanity or insanity from their minds, and must find the prisoner giulty If they decided that he drew his pistol with the intention of killing. As raving maniac can retain full knowl- edge of the uses of pistols this is cer- tainly reducing the insanity plea to nothing and is no better than mediaeval barbarism.

Brain Storm to Be Hau's Plea.

KARLSRUHE, Germany, July 17.-That
he killed his motherin-law, Frau Moli-
tor, during a "brain-storm' will prob
ably be the plea of Kark Hau, the
young professor formerly a member OF
the faculty of George Washington uni
versity, Washington, who was placed
on trial today. Despite the fact that
Hau has been examined and pronouac-
ed sane by a commission of alienists,
the theory of mental responsibility
will almost certainly be brought for
ward by the defense. This is eyidenc-
ed by the fact that Hau's, attorneys
have engaged Professor Schafeaburger
of Cologne to testify in the case.
Sensational charges against the Ger
man police in the matter Of Hau's treat
ment since his incarceration in the
prison here have been made by his
American friends and may be aired
during the trial. It is alleged that the
officers have used every method OF
diabolical torture in their efforts to
make the youthful professor confess
to having murdered his wife's mother
at Baden-Baden last November.
Hau,s chances of being acquitted
have been greatly lessened by the sui

"Home-Makinqv a Profession.

Vancouver, B. c., July 1.-THE
servant problem is in a fair way TO
be solved if a resolution presented to
the National Council of Women today
cal be put into, effect. The word
servant with all its Objectionable
associations, is to be banished from
the vocabulary of the Canadian women
and in its stead will come the home
maker" which is to be placed in the
foremost rank of professions for wo-
men. According to opponents of the
new idea. the inability to secure com
petent help is due to the social stigma
that attaches to domestic service. 1t
is proposed to make the '@home-maker"
a professional woman on a par with
trained nurse and to be accorded 81
milar treatment.
Other resolutions presented to the
council deplored the tendency to lower
the age of freedom to marry from 81
to 10 years and demanded that the
consent of the mother as well as the
father be necessary to the marriage of
minors.

death to life Imprisonment. should
this moye fail. there will be a double
hanging here next Tuesday, when
Jackson and Bowling Green. also col.
ored, will be swung into eternity from
the same gallows.
Never before has such a morbid cur
iosity in a hanging been evidenced in
Pittsburg, hundreds of people having
applied to Sheriff Gumbert for permits
to see this double execution. In &C
cordance with the state law all these
must he denied, the only persons pri-
vileged to witness a hanging in Penn
sylvania being the sheriff and his de-
%puties, the coroner, the execution jury,
county physicians and not more than
two ministers.
The seaffold on which the two men
are to be hanged is in readiness. 1t is
a new steel affair and will be used
for the first time Tuesday. Sheriff
Gumbert will personally spring the
trap, as required to do by law.
Jackson was convicted of the muir
der of Gertrude Nichols, a negro wo-
man, on October %, 1905. He was
temporary insane from the excessive
use of liquors at the time n this will
be urged in the effort to have his SEN
tence committed at to-day's hearing.
Bowling Green shot and killed his wife
Jennie Green, because he believed she
was unfaithful to him.
the two black men are
eddy awaiting the march to the gal
lows next Tuesday morning. They
show little interest in the preparations
that have been going forward for
their hanging. although both have
long since professed religion and re-
pented for their crimes. Most of their
time is spent in reading the Bible.

HEAVY DECREASE IN
SOUTHWESTERN CATTLE


A Fort Worth dispatch says that
cattle conditions in the southwest mas
just been completed through the in
spectors of the Texas Cattle Raisers'
Association to determine whether Oh
not there exists an actual cattle
shortage here. 1t has beer said that
ranches, and the consequent shipping
of calves and she stuff to market, the
number of cattle il the southwest has
materially decreased without decreas-
ing the actual shipments to market.
Reports from cattle inspectors verify
the past ive years, the number of
cattle has decreased from 10 to 60
per cent.
Inspector E. E. Rutledge, of San
Antonio, reports an increase of cattle
il southwest Texas, but as he bases
mis- belief on the increase in the num-
Der received for market there, his con
clusion is thought to be erroneous.
In Houston, Galveston, Brazoria,
Fort Benz and Harris counties the de-
crease has been one-third. Around
Victoria the decrease has been about
20 per cent, lower Rio Grande 25 per
cent. Panhandle is short 10000 head
from five years ago, and New Mexico
reports a decrease of so per cent.
In the Indian reservation there is
a light increase this year owing to
the fact that many Texas cattlemen
have shipped north fearing that this
may be the last opportunity 70 secure
pasturage there.
1t is believed that this shortage will
seriously affect the cattle markets in
the next few years, n that the
packers have recognized conditions
and made the most of them. 1t is
pointed out that in New Mexico and
the Panhandle, between the Rock
Island and the Texas Pacific, there
is not a single herd of aged steers.

er Rio Grande country, says that thou
sands of calves have been shipped

pie eloped to be married, the match
having been bitterly opposed by the
brides mother. At the time of his mar

field ready to begin the work of dip

dipping is don at the end of Novem-
Der, as we expect it to be, we hope
that scabies will have been eradicat-
ed from the range in this territory.
Not only are the sheep being dipped
twice, but old brush corrals are to be
torn down and the ground where they
have stood disinfected. If any posts
are left standing, they are to he strip
ped of bark. 1t is to be a thorough
house cleaning"
The sheep sanitary board is much
gratiied with the way in which the
bureau OF animal industry has come
to the front in the campaign against
scab. Application was made for 100
inspectors under the impression that
it would be reduced by h bureau,

more speedy and at the same time a
more thorough campaign.
Mr.. Luna, who is also president of
the Wool Growers Association, says
he expects even a greater attendance
at the convention this year han last.
The date is somewhat later than that
of last yea and Mr.. Luna fears that
it may keep many sheep growers
away, but he believes the entire ter
ritory will be represented. The con
vention is to be held during the week
