THE TRIAL AND THE FUTURE.

Some gain has resulted from the T'haw trial
If nothing else the atmosphere has been cleared
so that it will be difficult 10 confuse the real
issue at the next trial, which must, therefore be
conducted on more rational basis. 1t will be
impossible, for example, for Evelyn Thaw's
story 10 create again, either in the minds OF the
Jury or OF the public the sensation that its first
telling produced. That tale, If repeated. will
be listened TO the next time with incredullty
even If no way be found Of getting into the
evidence a fat disprOOf Of 1t. It will be iInpos-
sible on the next trial TO offer mixed defence
with an appea! to the "unwritten law" as the
primary or secondary feature OF IT, Public
common sense is insulted by the presentation of
a disSOlute and worthless creature as the de-
fender OF wOmanly virtue. In the next trial it
Is hard TO see how there can be got before the
jury anything more than the plain issue, namely,
was the prisoner sane enough at the time Of
the shooting TO be held accountable for his deed
This is as II should be. 1t is exactly what
simple justice requires. For the public to toll
crate the adventitIous defence OF justification
would be to make Mr.. Delmas's sentimental
swash the index and reflection of public opinion.
But If the gain is merely a more decent and
reasonable second trial. we shall not have profit
ed enough from this mlstrial. 1t should further
serve TO turn the attention OF the people forcibly
to the consideration of reforming our criminal
procedure. Under the present practice it is i'm
possible for the trial judge TO hold the issue
plainly in sight before the jury. trial be-
comes a vast pother OF words Counsel are left
largely 10 their own devices AS many false
scents are offered TO the Jury as possible The
rule requiring the exclusion from the evidence
OF the incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial
accOmplishes only the keeping out OF the grossly
incompetent, irrelevant and lmmaterial The
result is a welter OF words, facts and innuendo.
Perhaps Just because Of this loose procedure
juries perform their functions IN a loose way,
and feel that they will inject some common
sense" into the proceedings by deciding the
issue with little regard for the law and as
practical men,"
The English papers cry out in astonishment
at our prOtracted, expensive, bewilderlng and
futile criminal trials and say that the weakest
Judge on the English bench would get through
a case like Thaw's In a few days And so he
would. He would keep firm grip on the trial.
BE would hold counsel to the real issue and
make them attend TO business Examination
and crOss-examination would be kept down 10
the essentials. Trrelevances would be rigidly
excluded, and the jury would know what It was
all about when It was over, and would not be
urder so great temptation TO take some short
cut as practical men 70 Substantial Justice

our trial judges hand and foot with technican-

WASTE.

Renewed discussion OF the probable duration
of the coal supply, and of the consequently
approprate attitude or action of the govern
ment toward il. is interesting and suggestive,
but II too often ignores that which is really
the fundamental consideration. namely, the
question whether men have at any time or in
any case the moral right to say After us-or
"after our great at-grandchidren-the del
''uge" 1t is interesting to be told that exclu
sve Of Alaska our known coal resources ag-
gregate 100000 100000 tons-tigures which the
ordinary mind simply cannot comprehend. 1t
is perhaps more to the point to show that in
the last ninety years our consumption of coal
has pretty nearly doubled every ten years; and
that while if the present rate were maintained
without further increase our supply would last
four thousand years. if the rate kept on in
creasing as it has done in these last ninety
years our supply would be exhausted in a cen
fury
But the real point Is that. whether our
coal is sufficient 10 last one century or forty
centuries. have no moral right 10 waste
it. and thus needessly to shorten the period
of its lasting, and prematurey to inflict un
known and unmeasurable hardships upon those
who come after it. or some things we may
he prohigate with impunity. since they are in
eXhauStible and not susceptible of impairment
But of all things which are limited In quantity
we are the custodians for pOsterty well as
present users. We may grant that present use
is the first consideration. Even If the coal sup
ply were likely 10 be exhausted next year. we
should have a right 10 use it this year. But
discrimination between use and waste is need
ful. We should be justified in using that which
we needed, even if in so doing the very next
generation would be deprived of 1t, but we are
not justified in wasting anything. even if
the deprivation will not be felt for a dozen or
a hundred generations.
The lesson Of our lumber supply should great
" enforce the truth a generation or two ago
it seemed nexhaustible. and il was wasted in
the most reckless manner, with the result that
we are today suffering costly scarcity, and
we regret and resent not the legitimate use
hut the profligate waste of II. We have no
right TO impose upon n future age what the
past age imposed upon us The actual waste
of coal to-day is large; the waste which might
be obviated If men would only devote their in
ventiye ingenuity to the task, or even adopt
inventions already made. is enormous. And for
men 10 ignore these possibilities of saving. and
to persist in needless waste simply because so
long as the supply IS abundant II is cheaper
to be wasteful than TO be economical. IS prac-
tically 10 ignore the legitimate claims OF the
future and to say After us the deluge," or the
