Francois coppee.

Among the French Academy of I'M
mortals death has been very busy re-
Gently. In the death Of Francois coppee,
France loses one Of It's most noted
writer's, a man whose works more
frequently than other modern French
writer's have been held up as examples in
American schools. Coppee was devoted
to literature from boyhood, and he was
the most distinguished OF that body Of
'Parnassians" who published volume
Of poetry in 1866 from which the public
chose his La Greve des Forgerons,"
which was recited all over France.
But it was his poetic work in the drama
that attracted worldwide attention, and
his name will often be linked with that
Of Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, who was for
tunate enough TO secure his delightful
little romance. lie Passant." which was
produced at the Odeon. and which set
tied for Coppee the question Of the d.
rection In which his literary labors
should be applied. HIS greatest-1riumphs
were won In dramatic literature, and his
lie Pater." which dealt with the Com
mune, and was presented at the Coincide
Francais In 1890, created a sensation, in
no wise lessened by the fact that it was
suppressed by the French government.
His greatest dramatic work. however.
was Pour le Couronne." produced in
1895. 1t has been compared by critics
to the masterpieces Of classic literature
A translation Of this was produced in
London. and another translation made by
Dr. Maurice Francis Egan. Of Washing
ton. now Minister to Denmark, was pro-
duced in this country.
AS a poet too. Francois Coppee won
fame. and as novelist he left his mark
upon bis time. His workmanship was
delicate, clean-cut. and highly polished
marked with n fine fancy and tlnctured
with ardent patriotism. The rewards OF
his profession came to him in ample time
TO make It easy for him to devote his
years to letters. He served as librarian
to the French Senate for several years.
and was then appointed to the post OF
keeper Of the archives OF the comedie
Francois. a position which he resigned
when elected to the Academy Death
found him in his sixty-sixth year; his
life had been filed with activity and
usefulness. and It may be said that he
has accomplished his life work. The
place which he leaves vacant in French
literature will not be easily filled.

INSANITY AND CRIME.
Problem that Is still I'm n Very I'm
settled Condition.

From the Boston Transcript
The whole problem of the relation be-
tween insanity and crime Is essentially
unsolved. No uniform policy for the
treatment Of the criminal insane exists
In the United States. In some States
special institutions have been estab-
lished. New York has created a great
hospital at Matteawan for the confine-
ment of criminals who are found not
guilty on the ground of insanity and who
are technically known as court cases. -
and IL has also built at Dannemora an
expensive hospital for the care OF crimi-
nails who become mentally deranged
while undergoing Imprisonment. Some
States have special wards in connection
with their penitentiaries. and to these
are transferred prisoners who develop in
sanity In many States insane prisoners
are sent to the institutions for the civil
insane. but this practice invites two criti-
cisms, the sentimental objection and the
likelihood that these are not adequately
equipped for the safe confinement OF
criminal lunatics, who are often danger
Gus and crafty.
0PcCidA SNuOtNAS VI tue NutSNiJu dTO
now agreed that the scientific policy is
to establish Independent asylums. spe-
eially designed and equipped, for the
care OF the insane criminals. These
should provide facilities for the after
care Of criminal victims Of mental aliena-
ton who. at large. would become a
menace TO the public. 1t Is not necessary
TO have two classes OF asylums-one for
the persons acquitted on the ground OF
their mental state. and the otaer for con-
victed persons who develop insanity in
prison, since the distinction between
criminals who are held to be irresponsi-
bic at the time OF the offense and crimi-
nails who go insane in prison need not
be carried far. Insanity which is dis
closed behind the bars is frequently the
development of mental disease that ante
dated the offense.

authority to issue bonds for the con-
struction of. the Panama Canal. and that
win be done. He has also authority 10
issue bonds for the maintenance of the
gold standard. which would be a last re-
source. But his main reliance. we
imagine. will be On holding up expen-
ditures until there is money to meet
them. A great many items in the ap-
preparation bills, such as those for con-
struetion Of buildings and other public
works, can be pigeonholed until Treasury
conditions are more favorable. Thus.
haply, he may avoid draining the Treas
ury OF its last dollar or resorting to an
issue of bonds to uphold the national
credit.
We have been going on in this happy
go-lucky way for many years without
doing ourselves much damage; but is II
not about time that our national fnan-
ciering were reduced to some sort Of
system. so that expenditure will have
some necessary relation to income? with
not much more than $SOo.eO0.0OO OF rev.

the expenditure of SIC 100000 Is that a
sound method Of transacting the national
business?

Defeat of the PublIcity Bin.

From the New York Times,
The bill before the House was not in
Itself or in its origin. In any sense a
partisan bill 1t responded to the desire
expressed IN the platforms Of both
parties. II it was in effect aimed espe-
claily at the Republicans that is solely
because the Republicans have prac-
teal monopoly OF large campaign con-
tributions, and are proportionateIy eager
TO prevent any interference with them.
The trick by which this was accomplished
was contemplate one. They passed the
bill at a time and In a form that made
II entirely impossible that 1t should be-
come law, and they covered It's actual
defeat by amendments intended to bring
confusion to the Democrats. The degree
OF sincere desire to restrain corruption
by publicity can readily be understood.

KIttredee In the Senate

Our esteemed contemporary. the Sioux
Falls Daily Press, edltorially tells fits
readers that the managing editor OF a
likewise esteemed Washington paper has
gone 70 the trouble Of finding from the
official records Just what Senator Kit
tredge has accomplished in the seven
years he has represented his State at
Washington, and thereupon quotes the
findings with gleeful approval as evidence
that the Senator may well be spared.
Far be it from this paper to venture
TO take a hand in the South Dakota
campaign. A long-range mix-up in the
overheated struggle does not appeal 10 I;
1t is perfectly content to allow the Dako-
tans to fight It out among themselves.
But since another Washington paper
appears to be figuring in the trouble. n
few additional remarks bearing upon the
subject in question certainly will not be
out OF place.
Possibly the Republicans of South Da-
kota may have valid reasons OF their
own for denying Senator Kittredge an
other term. Perhaps at the primary soon
TO be held they will vote to give the seat
TO Gov. Crawford. We do not know how
II is going TO turn out But we do know
that II change is made based upon any
theory OF the Senator's lack of useful
ness or achievement here. II will be n
mistake-a monumental mistake He IS
a hard-working. clear-headed. construc-
tive statesman. this South Dakota sena-
tor, and he has not only made his mark
during his term OF service, but has won
the confidence and respect of his col.
leagues. Republicans and Democrats
alike. in marked degree. That he SINH
larry enjoys the esteem and sconfldenee
OF the President and the administration
is equally undeniable.
Just how many bills the Senator has
succeeded in passing. or hoR many he
has failed to pass, is immaterial TO his
general appraisement The record OF find
ings credited to our local contemporary
enormously credited, no doubt-may be
quite within the limit OF accuracy; but
even then it reveals nothing either TO his
disparagement or his dIscredit He has
served his State with distinction and
honor. Admittedly one of the strong men
In the United States Senate. the esti-
mate here put upon him Is that held by
all who have followed his career-an esti-
mate in which the Senate itself will
readily concur.
Senator Kittredge's opponents might at
least afford TO be fair toward him. It
pays to be fair. even in the heat of a
political campaign.

A Test of the Unemployed.

From the New York Evening Post
1t has been said that the IMAM out OF
work is a test OF civilization. BY this is
meant that the ability to find employment
for the margin OF workers easily thrown
out of their Jobs by shifting industries or
financial depression is a proof of wise
government On those terms we know OF
no government which ca make large pre-
lenses to wisdom. But, however that
may be- the man out Of work is. in a
very obvious way. a test Of his country.
He shows how we'll it's citizens have been
trained to meet temporary adversity with
an equal mind. He may display for him
self and his class high qualities which are
an ornament and safeguard for anv
nation. And we are free to say that in
our opinion the bearing and conduct Of
our unemployed during the last six
months have been such as to make Aueri-
cans justly proud

would Congress proceed 10 relieve him
Of the duties Of the Presidency IN which

parties would agree 10 the passing Of a
statute, much as they did with the cleo
toral commission act of 1877. to provide
for the exigency by establishing some
general tests by which incapacity might
be determined. Here. again, Congress
would prefer TO leave the members Of the
Cabinet to control the President, il they
could do so: but a situation may be i'm
agined IN which man in that condition

SecretaFy's Candidacy.
From the Wall Street Journal
Three months ago the financial inter-
ests appeared TO be strongly opposed to
the nomination of Taft for President, the
chief ground for their opposition being
that he was Roosevelt's candidate and
stood for Roosevelt policies.
Since then. we are told. there has been
change In sentiment, and that now
Wall street is in favor OF Taft's nonina-
ton. and viii work, earnestly for his
election.
What is the reason for this change? 1t
is impossible TO believe that It Is the re-
suit Of any change in Mr.. Taft himself.
or that II is the result OF any bargain or
understanding between him and the
financial interests. Mr.. Taft's whole
career testihes against any such idea as
that He has been noteworthy for the
straightforwardness of his life and con-
duct as a man and as a politician.
What, then, is the reason for this
change in the attitude OF Wall street:
is Wall street now supporting Taft In
order TO make it certain that Roosevelt
would not be nominated and elected for
another term? Is Wall street. therefore
taking Taft as the lesser OF two evils
Does IL believe that while he viii be
faithful 70 the Roosevelt policies his
method Of applying those policies will
be so temperate and judicial as TO make
It possible to promote business enter
prise under his administration?
Certainly the Republican party has a
wonderful capacity for getting together
as the campaign actually begins.
