TIE rAAw CASE.

The predictions freely made at the
time Of Harry Thaw's Incarceration
In Matteawan that his money would
soon open the asylum doors, happily
proved untrue. Thaw will remain in
the custody of the state of New York,
and that state has been spared the
humiliation which would have gone
with any other outcome of the affair.
Thaw was only saved from the cleo
trio chair or from long term IN
prison by proof of his insanity. That
his friends believed it would be an
easy matter to procure his release
from the asylum by repudiating the
insanity charge is certain by the
haste with which they rushed into
court with habeas corpus proceedings;
Their ever ready alienists were
pressed into service and as willingly
testified on this occasion that Thaw
was perfectly sane as they did on the
former occasion that he was altogeth-
er insane. Had the court given
weight to this evidence and released
the prisoner it would have pointed
the way for criminals in the future
easily to avoid the consequences Of
their acts.
Not only this, but the effect on the
public mind is not to be desired
There would be additional arguments
for those who are prone to reason
that the poor man has no chance, and
that 1t Is impossible for the law to
convict a man with millions at his
disposal for defense.
The failure of Thaw to win his lib
erty gives an evidence that the law
In this case has not been drawn from
the straight course by any pressure
brought to bear by the wealthy
Thaws. No injustice will be done
Thaw. If he is able to prove at any
future time that he is wholly sane
the law will release him Public opin-
ion would demand this For the pres
ent, however, it will be agreed that
his present mental condition is not
such as to make it safe to liberate
him.

ONE VIEW OF SCHOOL ESSAYS.

.
The approach of commencement
time moves the Chicago Examiner to
protest against the yearly output OF
essays on subjects which lie beyond
the power Of the boy and girl grad
yates to fathom. The Examiner cites
the following as an instances:
At a school exhibition thirteen es-
says were read. One girl wrote
about Beyond the Alps Lies Itlay."
She had not been in Itlay, she had not
seen the Alps, and probably had no
definite idea about what she was Try
ing to say. Another read paper VI
1.-THE Higher Life"
Il Nobody in the audience UNDERSTOOD
sentence she said and the girl was
not much better off hersef. poy
of seventeen dsEPered an Grafton
which he had written on The Deca-
dence of the Times" Now, what on
earth does a boy of seventeen know or
have the impertinence to think ne
knows about the decadence of these or
any other times?
And so it went through the pro-
gram. Not one essay and not one ora
tion was worth attention save as
joke.
The boys and girls were unusualiy
bright, but they didn't know enough to
write about things they understooN
and their teachers hadn't the good
sense to make them do 1t.
The Examiner would have the boys
write about football or about swim
ming, or about anything on earth that
they are really interested in, and
there would be something worth read
ing 1t would have the girls taught
that it is impertinent in girl OF
seventeen to stand up before her eld-
ers and lecture them on the Decline
of Manners and Morals in the Twen-
tieth Century,
If she would write about something
that girls are interested in she would
give every one who listens to her
paper half hour Of real enjoyment.

cludes, mot into a copy of some other
mind -
