Guilty or Not Guilty?

II has been said that you cannot
frame an Indictment against a nation.
Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane con-
trives, nevertheless, to lodge one
against a commonwealth. And IL is
to be remarked. both to her credit
and to that of the accused. that there
is substantial unanimity between
them.
Kentucky pleads guilty; she does
not even ask that the counts of the
Indictment be formulated and de-
tailed; she pleads guilty with the bet
ter grace that she is on the path Of
reformation. and will not be turned
aside. We wish it were possible to at
tribute this salutary condition to the
authorities at Frankfort, but the
mos we can say is that they have not
gone out of their way to frown upon
it-and that is something in these
days.
Mrs. Cranes report is published In
advance proof by the state board of
health il is possible that 1t may re-
oeive some minor lamentations, but,
substantially. We must accept II as 1t
stands. What, then, are its main
features? Are they not rather the
mistakes of ignorance and the per-
petuation of older methods than any
lack of good intentions?
Our gravest crimes, she asserts,
are committed against the poor, the
infirm and the helpless; our most
.grievous conditions are found in tene-
ments, almshouses, asylums and peni-
tentiaries. Such an accusation, not
lightly made and by no mean au-
thority, may not be passed over
jauntily, still less can II be answered
by silence. Those of us who know OF
these things viii not attempt to dis
pute the accuracy of the picture; we
know that politics have, on more
than one occasion, played havoc with
intelligent administrative reform, and
We are determined that so far as our
efforts may extend and publicity can
aid them a new era shall dawn.
The state jails and the state asy-
lums are a reproach that has been
suffered to grow more urgent by
neglect. We will not stop to inquire
today whose fault II is, that is a ques-
ton complicated and thorny, but the
citizenry of Kentucky cannot be bet
ter engaged than in retrieving its
good name in that direction.-~Louis-

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Many people have not seen a clock
run backwards, but quite a few saw
an automobile speed backwards at a
high rate of speed several days ago
in Foreman Brothers gargage. The
auto was brought in for a rush job,
and a machinist was put to work In
stalling a new gear. In his haste he
put it in wrong, and when the chauf-
feur started the engine the gasoline
wagon grunted and started whizzing
backwards. The emergency brake
was slapped on and another try was
given. The machine was bashful and
refused to go forward, but ran back
ward again. The driver spoke a few
words in an undertone. and pulled
the hood of the car while the en-
ployes carefully looked over the ma
chine. A third try was taken, but
the machine started of in a way that
the front wheels were rudders- The
brakes were slapped on again and
the differentisl of the car was exam
ined when the misplaced gear was dis
covered and quickly changed. Then
the grunt wagon recovered from its
spree and ran forward with as much
speed as IL had backwards.

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
Five Feet of Books.

We print this letter from ex-Presi-
dent Eliot about his FIVE foot shelf
of books:
"Asticou. Maine, July 10. 1909
Gentlemen:
at was your desire and purpose to
publish a carefully selected library
which. II conscientiously read.
would make Of the judicious and am
bit.ous reader a cultivated man: and
IL was this educational purpose which
interested me In your undertaking.
The Iecent discussions in the pub
Tic press and In private conversation
over the five-foot shelf OF books sat
isfy me that the project had not been
correctly apprehended in some quar-
tiers The incomplete and inaccurate
list which appeared in the newspapers
few weeks ago was published with
out any knowledge, and gives an
erroneous impression OF the project.
At this date. not more than half OF
the books have been decided on.
THE volumes which / undertook
to select are intended to give faithful
readers who know no language but
English a true picture OF mans
imaginings and reasonings through
more than twenty centuries. They
must all be works OF high literary
merit. and must illustrate well the
mental and moral history OF mankind.
While the collection will inevitably
contain much philosophy and religion
which the twentieth century does not
accept. IL should demonstrate that
much OF the present stock OF avail
able wisdom has long been at the
service OF educated men.
ITO depict the Stream Of the
World. the collection must contain
worthy representatives of both the
ancient literatures and the great ma
tlonal literatures which have been
created since the revival Of letters;
50 that the proportions of the differ
ent llteratures have to be carefully
considered. Many famous books are
unavailable because too long-that is
they would occupy a disfroportionate
space in the series
"The collection can not represent
largely the natural science Of the
nineteenth century. or give much
space 10 the current thought OF today
because these recent acquisitions of
the race have, for the most part. not
yet been cast in durable literary form,
THE Bible and Shakespeare are
omitted because these books are with
in the reach Of most Americans who
read at all. Very truly yours,
CHARLES w ELIOT"
There is little TO add to DR.. Ellots
admirable statement. II was natural
that the publication of an incomplete
and inaccurate list should have pro-
voked some "silly season" editorials
These wordy sympocia concerning
books are dearly priced occasions for
"a display of newspaper erudition.
They give a pleasant literary flavor

ROSY TINT IN
DEMOCRATIC SKY
BRYAN TELLS TLoRIDIANs THAT
PROSPECTS ARE BETTER FOR
VICTORY IN 1912 THAN EVER.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 5.-Speaking to
an immense throng OF people from
the grand stand at the race track
yesterday afternoon, w. J. Bryan
said he brought to the Democrats of
the south a message of good cheer.
that there is a steadily increasing
sentiment that makes for the growth
Of the Democratic party In the Uni
ted States. He commented on the
world wide spread OF Democracy as
one OF the signs of the times. when
the masses would demand their
rights Of the aristocratic class, which
$ now using every endeavor to hold
it's own against such a growth. -
lie cited the recent change In the
government of Turkey and declared
that the down-trodden ma ses of
that country had forced the most au
tocratic monarch of modern times
TO grant Democratic constitution. ="
He commented on the usurpation

egating to himself all the authority
or a car In the manipulation Of his
nigh office. But change is surely.
is slowly coming, he declared, and
that prospects were brighter than
ever for Democratic Glory in 1912.
Mr.. Bryan injected considerable
humor in his remarks by saying
that he knew there were entirely too
many Republicans N the country for
'her own good, and for the
country good, adding that he had
been telling them about it, for a
ong time.
In reply to a question Mr.. Bryan
declined to say whether he expected
20 be called upon by his party again
to tell them about it," pass ng the
query with broad smile.
