Russia's Sham Justice.

After three years of disgraceful de-
lay the Russian tribunals announced
their decisions as to the Bialystok mas
Sacres, in which nearly 100 persons
We're killed and about that number
horribly wounded The victims were
nearly all Jews. 1t is believed that the
attacks upon the few Christians who
suffered death or wounds were unin-
territorial and that the butchery of the
Jews was deliberate. Certainly the
attacks were savage in the extreme
and spared neither age nor sex. Out
of twenty-nine persons accused and
held by the courts fifteen were acquit-
ted, one sentenced to three years i'm
prisonment and the others to shorter
terms, the longest being one year.
The long delay in trying the accused
was inexcusable, and the manner of
the prosecution was little short of in
famous. The prosecutor displayed
open sympathy with the prisoners,
chiefly government officials and mem
bers of the police, and aimed to show
that they had been terrorized by the
populaee under the instigation of the
Jewish Self Defense association. He
even went so far as to declare that the
Jews had inaugurated a ''reign of ter
rOr" On the other hand, the lawyers
of the Jewish side brought out evil
dence making it plain that the attacks
had been officially arranged and en-
eOuraged and that the police not only
failed to suppress anti-Jewish out
breaks, but aided in the killing and
the manning. The government organ
in st. Petersburg frankly declares that
1t is impossible to have fair trial III
Russia when Jews are the accusers,
and the outcome of the Bialystok case
proves once more the hopelessness of
reforms under existing institutions.

estimates that every Japanese house
holder will be called upon to pay in
taxes the sum of $50, or So per capita,
assuming that every household num-
bers five individuals. The average in
come in Japan is $155 to the family,
and the annual contribution to the rev.
enue devoted to war taxes is more than
20 per cent of the earnings.
At the rate which japan is now pay
ing its war debts they will be extin-
gulshed in about thirty-five years. The
limit of taxation is already reached,
and in order to obtain money new
loans have to be fioated. The effort to
pay the debt is heroic, but as the aver
age wage for labor in Japan is only 3
cents an hour it is plain that the pow
erty of the people, upon whom the
whole burden must fall, Is extreme.
Whether it is wise for the mikado's
government to attempt to pay the whole
Indebtedness within one generation is
q matter Of opinion on which men will
differ. And there may be question
as to the ability of the administration
to put the scheme through. Thus far
the process has been marked with
some shrewd financiering and perhaps
with what might be called sharp prac-
tice. The Bulletin contends that Japan
cannot maintain her present efficiency
of militarism without borrowing mon
ey and that her sole resource is money
lenders, who will exact usurious in

The Too Handy Pistol.

Police chiefs must know what they
are talking about when they declare
that we need a law restricting the sale
and use of deadly weapons. The POI
lice have to handle the shooting cases
and often have to search for the guilty
ones with few clews to guide them.
Now it has been shown in cities where
the dealers in pistols are licensed and
compelled to keep records of sales that
persons guilty of mysterious shooting
are often brought to book through
data furnished by the shopkeepers.
Naturally a person who has to sub
nit to cross examination when buying
pistol may think twice before taking
the chances of using it wrongfully and
being caught Few are desperate
enough to buy a gun with intent to
XIII under circumstances which can
easily be brought out and will prove
the intent. Recently a number OF wo-
men have used pistols with deadly eff
feet upon men whom they accused OF
wrongfng them. Perhaps they did not
care to conceal their purpose beyond
effectfng surprise of the victims Yet
a slight check will sometimes lead to
a sober second thought. But pistol
owning and pistol carrying are far too
common. There are too many pistols
within reach of the angry and the II
responsible. That is the long and short
of st. The citizen who has legitimate
use for pistol can easily prove It, and
the citizen or alien who has no leg1ti-
mate use for one should be- brought up
with a round turn by very rigorous
law If found having one i'm possession.

prevail and Endorsement TO question:
able principle. In the competitions
likely to arise in banking for an in
crease of business interest on deposits
is sometimes paid by certain banks,
with the result that as the interest so
paid mounts higher and higher the
banks involved increase the rates or
interest on the money which they lend
to cover these higher rates and in so
doing take risks on insufficient securi-
ty. The creditors of the banks in or
der to get even for the high rates they
pay must also take speculative risks,
and in every financial trouble like that
of last October it is noticed that those
banks which pay high interest on de
posits are most seriously involved.

The Army Reserve.

The idea Of making the state troops
a permanent reserve for the regular
army has taken definite shape. If the
plan outlined by the assistant secre
tary of war is carried through, all the
available military strength of the coun-
try will be under a single system and
the confusion Of the past done away
with. Opinions will differ as to the
advisability of having state troops in
dependent of national control. The
fact Is that, while few states have In
recent years maintained fairly efficient
establishments, the general status of
the militia has not been on a par with
the general military development of
the country.
1t is difficult to keep up the proper
spirit in militia. One soldier enlists
and undergoes training in the belief
that he is to have a chance to defend
the nation in time of war. But when
war comes he finds a majority of the
regiment disposed to take advantage
of the militia laws and refuse to take
up arms except in defense of the state.
Again, the opportunity to keep up to
date in the matter of drill, camp train
ing and equipment has not been equal
for all the states nor for all the regi
ments in a given state. An earnest
young man does not care to bear the
name of being a soldier unless he can
show himself the equal Of the best or
nearly equal and improving. This type
of militiamen is the one to foster, for
when the need of a reinforcement to
the regular army is upon us it would
be calamity to find that the ready re-
serve was made up of material lack
ing soldierly qualities. The fact that
the militia was instructed by regular
army officers stimulated the spirit of
the men, for occasionally it brought
them in touch with thorough soldiers
The opportunity to train in camps with
regulars and to be measured by the
standards set for regulars will bring
to the ranks of the state volunteers
the best raw material in the land, and
there will be less likelihood of disap-
pointment when the reserve is called
out for action.

Under the New Currency Law.

Two New York national banks. which
stand at the head of the conservative
banks of the country, recently return

federal funds which they have held on

The Cheaper Postage to England.
There seems to be no doubt that the
reduction of letter postage between
the United States and the United King
dom from cents an ounce to 2 cents
an ounce will result in loss to the
treasures of both countries for time.
The English estimate that there will
be falling off On that side of the
water of about 100000 the first year,
and our postal department expects to
feel a like decline in receipts FROM
this quarter.
Reduction of postage on correspond
ence generally tends to increase the
number of letters, and ultimately the
revenue reaches the same plane as be-
fore the cut IN rates. The lower the
rate the more trififng the postage
seems, and people having friends at
distance are continually having occa-
sion to drop a line" to- let ''the folks
know what is going on" Increasing
the weight limit on letters is undoubt,
edly boon to the public. Last Octo-
Der the limit for five cent stamp was
raised from half. an ounce to the full
ounce. But the permitted weight of q
letter for the minimum rate is of slight
consequence compared with that Of a
marked reduction in the rate for the
ordinary letter.

Revival of Railway Traffic.

Freight cars have been taken off the
idle list and set to work at the rate
of about 10000 a week since the open
ing Of the seasons traffic. This i'm
provement of traffic is significant Of
brighter prospects from two points Of
view. Not only is business picking
up, but the revival comes in time to
do away with the necessity of fncreas-
ing freight rates, as was suggested
early in the spring. 1t will cost the
roads but little more to keep the cars
at work earning money than to main
tain them in idleness. Each additional
train put to work lightens the fnan-
cial burdens of the roads.
With a gain of traffic and the return
Of idle cars to their function Of carry
ing freight, the lines will get the bene-
fit of their recent reductions of ex-
penses. Expenses were cut down to
bedrock in anticipation of dull traffic,
but receipts are increasing every day.
Doubtless a rise in transportation
rates would have further diminished
the existing traffic and also acted as
check upon the revival. The country
wanted low rates maintained, and low
rates mean more business.
