HEART FAILURE. BUT WHY?

Connecticut boasts of at least one
law that might be passed and enforced
to advantage in all the other states of
the union. Within her borders, a
physicians certificate which sets forth
that death was caused by heart failure
is rejected by the authorities where a
permit for interment or removal is re-
quested and the law provides that such
certificate shall be returned to the
physician who issues it for proper cor
rection and definition. Something more
explicit is required. 1t is taken for
granted that when the heart fails life
becomes extinct and the curiosity that
prompts an inquiry as to the cause of
heart failure is regarded as pardon
able. Even if death is occasioned by
actual disease of the heart it is neces-
sary for the doctors of Connecticut to
particularize concerning the exact
nature of that disease in order to avoid
a public investigation. Experience has
doubtless taught that in Connecticut,
as elsewhere. the hearts of suicides are
especially liable to fail"

INEQUALITIES OF THE LAW.

The bankruptcy petition, of Harry K.
Thaw reveals several things that are of
interest just now in connection with
Mr.. Taft's recent address on the ad
ministration of law. The first point
is the very obvious one that, being a
rich man, he was able to employ men
to defend him who are beyond the
reach of a poor man, or of the court
which would furnish counsel If he had
no means to obtain it. Thaw's wealth
has saved him from the consequences
of his crime, where. If poor man had
done the same thing 1t is a safe guess
that he would have gone to the electric
chair long ago.
Another point is the enormous fees
demanded by the lawyers and the ex-
perts retained for his defense. 1t IS
we'll known that feas are not fixed on
the basis of their value, but on the
ability to pay of the person served.
This is true OF the lawyers and of the
doctors and the other experts who are
called in on such a case as Thaw's.
Mr.. Taft recognizes the inequalities
of the rich man and the poor man be-
fore the courts but he was unable to
overcome them when he was on the
bench, and he cannot now suggest any
way to make 1t as easy for poor man
to obtain speedy justice in the courts
as for the man of wealth.
One cannot appeal to the generosity
of an expert in any of the professional
classes with any hope for relief or as
sistance, and a law could hardly be
framed under the constitution that
could regulate the matter. And So it
seems, the case is almost hopeless.
About the only course for the poor man
to pursue is to keep out of the way of

mice has been an essential part Of the
work Of the ships crew. A white
mouse can smell petrol vapor more
readily than any creature known. And
the instant 1t smells it the little rodent
squeals. When petrol vapor begins to
escape in a submarine it is time for
the submarine to come to the surface.
Before the human members of the
crew smell il at all they are likely to
be asphyxiated. The squealers, then,
are maintained as skillful little watch
men, to give notice of the first hint Of
danger.
Now some chemist fellow presumes
to announce that he has perfected a
mechanical device by which the slight
est trace of petrol fumes may be de-
tected- The British government is ex-
perimenting with the machine, and if
it works satisfactorily 1t will be placed

fatal shortcoming, and therefore had to
go. They did not squeal loud enough.

THE EAST AND THE WEST.

1.-The difference between the old
view of the east and the new one
should be noted" says the New York
Evening Post. Formerly the east
was Wall street. 1t was the lair of
the money power, whose tentacles
stretched west and embraced the ma
ton. 1t was the abiding place of
parasite financial kings who took the
western farmer by the throat. 1t
bought up western legislatures. and
ruled the states through the railroads.
1t gambled and the rest of the coun-
try had to pay.
"But the state of affairs is now
over. The West no longer fears Wall
street though parts of the West dis
trust 1t. We have been suffering
panic. but the Mississippi valley far
mer declares that he doesn't know
what financial panic means. He is in
dependent of the stock exchange. He
has taken the control of the rail-
roads into his own hands. He can re-
gard us dispassionately, and when he
delivers judgment against us, 1t is not
because of the harm we do him, but
of our failure TO live up to his ideal of
good citizenship. We are a drag on
the wheel of progress.
1.-The west has been radical in two
ways; a good way and better way. as
the west sees it, The east has been
conservative in two ways; a bad way
and a much worse way, as the west
sees it. There is in the west the
radicalism which we may call
economic. 1t wanted free silver in
1896; it has pursued the trusts since
then; it has tanned the railways; it
has hankered after the joys of physi-
cal valuations and bank deposit
guarantees. But there is also the
equally potent radicalism of the idea
which is mainly political-the clean
ing out of the houses of legislature,
the elimination OF the boss. the
destruction of the party fetch
through primary reform and the prin-
ciple of direct nominations; in a word,
the movement toward more and more
democracy.
Against this, what has the east
to show? The west might forgive us
our conservatism of the market-our
insistence on rigid financial stand
ards, our more lenient countenance to
the railroad and the corporation, our
patience under tariff system in
which theoretically we have all ceased
to believe. But it is that worse con-
servatism which patiently accepts the
old abuses of party and boss and
resultant public corruption that stirs
the west to contempt. And If it be
true that to aspire in the right direc-
tilon is to be justified, how far wrong
is western radicalism in Wanting itself
above us?"
