MAY REVoLUTIoNIZE MAIL SACK
SYSTEM.
CORPORATION is FORMED HERE

Here and at Hoskins.
Norfolk and Postmaster F. S. Benson
GFrom Saturdays Dailyl
A new corporation is to be located
in Norfolk. The Bensor-Faucett COM
pany, incorporated under the laws of
Nebraska, will have its headquarters
in this city. The business of the COM
pany will be to handle the Norfolk
lock, cleverly designed lock for mail
sacks, invented by NJ. NJ. Faucet of
of Hoskins.
The new company has incorporated
so as to be able to manufacture and
sell or just to handle the new lock
They hope to be able to dispose OF
the patent to some manufacturing con
Germ and secure royalty on every
lock sold to the government. The
lock has not yet been approved by the
federal government but this approval
is hoped for.
The new lock is a neat clasp lock
riyeted to mail sacks and doing ava!
with the old style of paddock.
In case the lock is approved by the
government, as is hoped for, the en-
tire mail sack lock system of the coun
try will be revolutionized and the
name of Norfolk will be consequent!
spread over the entire United State!
on millions of mail bags.

SVUDYIVG WITNESSES.

Many persons who have lost confidence in
the prevalent system Of conducting criminal
trials and taking testimony have doubtless been
interested in Professor MunsterberSs scientific
expedition TO the scene Of the famous Meyer
Haywood trial The Harvard psychologist has
visited Boise for the purpose Of investigating
the curious character of Harry Orchard, whose
amazing conduct and confessions as star wit
ness for the prosecution have marked him as
legitimate prey for the expert on human
minds. In scientific circles the opinion has long
been growing that the trustworthiness of Wit,
nesses can best be determined by an aCcurate
study of their memory power and general be-
havior. Professor N1unsterberg has sought to
give this opinion the benefit Of q concrete j.
lustraton of what modern psychology can do,
and the question now is, How far do the pSy-
biologists observations and conclusions about
Harry Orchard demonstrate the value OF ex-
pert diagnosis OF witnesses?
The psychologists observations are reduclblo
to the following essential points: Orchard Is
very emotional, highly sensitive to suggestions,
self-confdent In some respects and tmid in
Others very alert and gifted with the knack or
anticipating the trend and purpose Of con-
versatlon or other act; from all OF which and
from many minor peculiarities Professor Min
sterberg ventures to conclude that every word
of Harry Orchards confession is absolutely
true The publication Of this verdict and of
the evidence on which 1t is based has produced
the impression in certain quarters that the pSy-
chologist has been enabled to reach his con-
clusion by the aid Of "exQulsitely delicate ma
chimes of recent invention" which register
directly the t1'uth-telling powers of the person
TO whom they are attached. Weird as this
opinion sounds. 1t has been seriously enter
tanned by intelligent Bostonians and perhaps
by many others, too And tho method OF cross
examination which determines little more than
the ability of witness to tell consistent
story and stick to it, is thus supposed TO be on
the eve OF displacement.
Great as the possibilities OF expert diagnosis
are, they cannot match these sangulne ex-
pectations. The truth is that psychologists still
are and probably viii always be In the position
of physicians diagnosing ailments by observing
secondary symptoms. In so far as the usual OUT
ward signs OF a mans mental state may ne
suppressed or varied, the observer must trust to
his general Impressions. and IN doing this
native quickness and wide experience are the
best guarantees of sound Judgment, Crosse -
animation and logical comparison of the
testimony Of many witnesses still remain,
therefore, the most certain means Of finding
tho facts. Progress and reform IN court pro-
cedure will be made most surely by seeking
with the aid Of the large fund OF established
facts about the mind, the best way OF conduct
inc a cross-examination and interpreting Its
results. And here the lawyers have much to
learn from the psychologists.

PATSTLI AGAIN.

There is as the dispatches suggest Il deli
cIous touch Of Gilbertian comedy IN Ra1sulis
latest performance The master dramatist or
TopsyturyydOm never conceived q more pre-
posterous situation than that which Is now pre-
scented in real life, in an arch rebels holding
the commander Of his sovereign's bodyguard
until the sovereign shall not only pardon the
arch rebel but also appoint him to one Of the
highest Offices In the state and pay him a
huge indemnity and exemplary damages for
having interfered with his rebelllous and law
less practices. Nor is even that all. Not long
ago the deviltries of Raisuli moved the powers
of Europe TO meet at Algeclras and create an
international police force for the express pur-
nose of holding him and his like in check; and
now Raisuli demands that he himself shall be
put in command of that force which was de-
signed for his own suppression! 1t is the very
apotheoss Of audaciOus brigahdage.
1t might well provoke Homerc laughter. Yet

Governor, General Bartlett. has had the
temerty to misread the handwriting on the
wall and himself to apply for the leadership.
And now the chairman Of the executive COM
mittee of the Democratic State Committee, Mr..
Grenville $ Mcfarland, has written 4 letter
resigning his post, charging that Mr. Whitney's
candidacy is an affront to Democracy and al
leginG that the great pillar Of state sovereignty
and particularist reciprocity is q Bourbon in
politics and a mere representative in Massa-
''chusettS and dummy director for those
predatory interests having their dens in Wall

"stagger humanity and sour the milk of human
kindness. Is logic to be thus discredited in one
of its most favored seats? We hope not. An
other failure 10 recognize Mr.. Whtney's claim
on the nomination for Governor will justify
the logcians of New England in exclaiming
with Mark Antony
o judgment! thou art fed TO british beasts.

cratic party, as usual, will be ready TO take
the knocks and pay the costs.

LOGIC on A STRIKE.

Logic IS still on the run IN Massachusetts in
spite OF the best efforts Of a distinguished
Democratic statesman to overtake and reassuTe
che fugitive. In q commonwealth noted for it's
logicians and its innate recognition Of the
aIogic Of the situation" in business, morals and
politics such an exhibition is discOuaging. 1t
excites distrust In the conclusions and practice
of q supposedly exact science; for IL logic will
not work, on what staff can a great thinker
and statesman lean. and how are the In
pulses OF the multitude TO be forecast and
guided?
The leader whose fond dependence on logic
has again been fouted is the Hon Henry NJ.
Whitney, the chief defender in Massachusetts
OF that states right TO exercise its sovereign
power TO the extent Of concluding treaty OF
reciprocity with Canada and enforcing its OBJ
seryance on the unwilling Canadians. II am
for AiasEa ehusetts first, last and all the time.
Mr. Whitney was reported as saying to a
gathering Of North Shore patriots the other
dav. MaSSGchaSettS contra aa1ldeCgrl IS the de-
yice which he has written On his shield. and
according 10 his views Of logic such single
minded devotion TO the interests Of the grand
old commonwealth ought TO make him the chosen
leader and idol OF the most intelligent as
well as the most numerous fraction of the Bay
State community. He ought TO be Governor OF
the state; or, IL not Governor, a logical aspirant
Republican majority VIII not turn to him for
guidance ne IS the more at a loss TO understand
why the Democratic minority. Of which he Is
a militant member, VIII not joyfully give him
n chance TO demonstrate what he can do with
tor to it--at the polls.
Last year at about this time Mr.. Whitney
discovered that he was the logical" Democratic
candidate for Governor. He confded his dis
cOyery to the Hon. Josiah Quincy, who was
moved by IT to the verge Of enthusiasm The
Democratic voters were told that all they had
10 do was TO follow logic" But somehow
those voters uninitiated in the lOgicians mys-
teries, fouled the Whitney major and minor
premises and smashed the syllogism. They for
got that there was such a place as Canada
destined TO a free entry Of Massachusetts mer
cnandise and went off incontinenty and nom
mated as their candidate for Governor the Hon
J. b. Moran, a crude domestic refOrmer with
little or no training In the uses OF syllogisms
This year Mr. Whitney took an earlier start

the party as carly as April Again he demon
stratea that fate had marked him as the log

t,,-r4LP NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Tho American public calls itself q lover of
I,barr, and equal rights but It's reputation, II
Judged by daily chronicles, does not measure up
n IFS nrqtauslons We have In mind the cruel
discrimination practised against the few well
known by the multitudlnOuS unknown. Current
history IS hearing many voiced testimony to the
reluctance with which the masses allow leaders
and heroes to share the humber pleasures Of
life. Not content with driving eminent citizens
away from all public places by watching their
actions and commenting openly upon the cut or
their hair. coats and shoes the unthinklng
hordes seek to satiate their enmty against the
prominent by denying the latter even the priv
ilege Of enjoying that popular and Innocent
American game, subpoena lodging. AS II 1t were
not cruel enough TO harasS the bearers Of house
hold names with cameras and other forms OF
persecution by publicity, the public seeks 70
heighten the misery of their existence by berat-
ing them for evading the subpoena servers.
Since the day when the ozone OF freedom first
was waited over this land the humblest citizen
has been allowed TO thrill with the JOY Of the
man hunt. Whether he has been the hunter or
the hunted, he has esteemed the privilege and
used It freely. Thus have many Of lifeS cares
been wiped out; thus have new joys been born.
Many man whose gray matter WAS oozing out
into his hair through sheer worry over the
prospect Of facing his creditors and whose
been cheered by the knowledge that a subpoena
server was on his trail. Life suddenly acquired
Il new zest. The jangllng Of the doorbell at
midnight, the dark form sitting the front
steps, the strange voice echoing up the dumb
waiter, the sudden appearance OF q preternat-
urally friendly and eager face-ah, these set the
heart to humping youthfully! Or If our hum
bic citizen plays the part of the hunter, there
are all the fierce pleasures of the chase the
trailing, the ambush and the attack. Primeval
emotions are aroused ana Danish the artificial
cares OF an artificial life. And all these pleas
ures have been the ordinary MANS ever since
disputants have gone to court.
How harsh, then, to raise a hoarse outcry
whenever n wealthy citizen plays at "hare and

OF wide reputation! In the name Of outraged

shouts Of encouragement and laughter but de-
rides and denounces the gided evader. We shall
recall this protest only in case it Is shown that
