TROPICAL Tidbits.

In Jamaica, as everywhere else. there
are two ways to do things. There is tho
beaten track of the. tourist to follow,
with its hotels of varying excellence,
conventional drives and all that sort OF
thing To know the island and the
allurements of its ingratating tropical
beauty, howevcre. to appreciate the dou-
BILE interest OF British resident customs,
together with the quaint oddities of the
negro native life next to the earth
one must travel q different course.
Courtesy to visitors to the island IS
everywhere manifest There are native
dishes that no hotel on the island can
make to taste so good. There ] learned
the indescribable deliciousness OF pro-
perly deviled jamaica black crab. There
We're served currics that would make an
habitue of Delmonico's sit up and take
notice--turtlc. real turtle. prepared with
q delicacy to delight an epicure, and
native oysters that Jamaicans facetiously
say grow on trees Tropical fruits in
all their fragrance and juicy prime gave
an intlmation OF the productive posi-
bilitles of the island. The green tinted
jamaica orange, thin of skin and richly
juicy crane fruit OF superior quantity.

HARTMAN PUNISHED.
Deterrent Force of Exposure
EQUAL That of Punitive Law.

tQudl 1ldC Oh - uIllllVe Law.
The theory OF the law is that no
malefactor is punished for vengeance
but for the good of society; and the
chief good sought for is a deterrent
to others. In accordance with this
proper point of view. it doesn't make
very much difference, nftc/ all,
whether or not Mr.. Hartman can be-
punished for his connection with the
Chicago and Alton imposition toput
1t mildly. The fact to be emphasized
is that Mr.. Hartman has worked his
own punishment. and that, wholly
apart from the punitive statutes, tho
laws purpose of the good of society"
has been subscrved hundred times
more effectively than 1t. could DE by
the mere assessment OF penalties
against the person of one offender.
This is not to say that the govern
ment should be more careless about
offenses which involve big transac-
tons than concerning those of Il lesser
| magnitude.
One benefcent result. indeed. of the
| fast following exposures of Industrial
abuses is the assured enactment OF
| both Federal and State laws attach
| ing bodily penalties to the sins OF
high finance" But have not the rail-
| way stock jobbcrs already felt the net
drawing tight around them? Is not
| society already we'll entered upon an
era Of the Industrial square deal? And
| Is not this ever-nearer prospect tho
hastened effect of that cumulative
publication of wrongdoings of which
the Hartman evidence was the most
Instructive?
Perhaps we have not yet reached
that stage where the doors of social
| responsibility can be closed against
| the law-breaking of greed; but that.
I too. Is coming fast. And certainly the
! time is already here when the doors
| OF opportunity are to shut tight
against the practices of plumber and
special privilege. That effect of pubs
| licity is the penalty clause of the
social order which to the Harrimans
| of society appear to be "the Great
Doon,'s image.-Kansas City Star.

pages. That volume was sold in this

ordinary price of $4,000. In addition
to bringing such price. the book has
tho rare distinction of being the only
one of the issue, so far as la known.
