Cannot Convict Women.

Mr.. Fowler, former collector of the
port of New York, speaking of COM
promising with crime, says it is alb
solutely necessary in cases OF SNUG
Cling where women are accused, since
it is impossible to convict a woman
when the United States is the COM
plainant.
A jury will swear to decide accord
ing to the law and the evidence, but
when it comes to woman smuggling
In silk dresses, furs, and gloves, the
law and evidence are scattered to the
wild winds There are two considera-
tions relating to this matter; first,
there is a mean little conscience, pre-
valent among people, that it is not
very wioked to smuggle goods into this
country. We have even heard men
boast Of their success in thus trampling
upon the law. They speak of it as a
joke and describe their sneakery as if
it possessed flavor of virtue.
And when women smuggle, it is re-
garded as the surest of human rights
It is one Of her prerogatives. That is
the doctrine of the jury; and so, as
Mr.. Fowler says, the best way to do is
to compromise, for then the govern
ment gets its money and the woman
gets her punishment, but saves her
reputation.-O State Journal.

A Neglected Duty

At a banquet given in New York
City last winter President Taft dis
cussed briefly the Republican tariff re-
vision plank. The plank is, IN brief,
that the new tariff rates shall be the
measure of the difference between the
cost of production abroad and at home,
with reasonable profit to the home
manufacturer. - You include the ele-
ments Of cost abroad, said the presi-
dent, (which include the raw material,
cost of labor, interest on capital, and
perhaps other things, and so on this
side, and then you reach the difference.
And in this revision which we are to
make that difference is what our Tariff
shall be. Now what duty does that
devolve on the partyg 1t devolves on
the party the duty of determining
what now is that difference and fixing
it accordingly.
1t is pertinent to ask what the com
mittee on ways and means or the
finance committee has done to ascer-
tain the difference in the cost of pro-
duction which should determine the
tariff duties. Once or twice the ques-
ton has been asked in the senate how
much of the duty on particular artl-
Gle represented the difference in cost
of production and how much represent
ed the reasonable profit of the Ameri-
can manufacturer. Nobody answered
because probably nobody knew.
Nor does the finance committee seem
to have been anxious to perform the
duty which President Taft said was de-
volved on the party. A mass Of infor-
nation relative to the cost of produc-
tion of certain classes of goods in Ger
many was sent to it by the state de-
partment. The data would have been
of material service to the committee in
fixing the proper duties on many ar
ticles in the steel and iron, cotton, and
woelen schedules. They were sent
back unused to the state department.
1t is not too late to do something
toward the revision of the tariff on the
lines laid down by President Taft. 1t
is not too late to get and utilize in
formatio as to the cost of production
abroad and at home of several articles
Of general consumption-of woolens,
for instance. The information would
reveal the fact that the present duties
are much IN excess of what they would
be if the tariff revision plank, as inter
preted by President Taft, were lived
up to.-Chicago Tribune.

There is a possibility that the last
move of the Civic Federation which
at the outset was nothing more than
gambling raid and which at the
worst could have been settled by the
payment of small fines, may develop
into something much more serious and
that the trials on the gambling charge
may be followed by other trials with
much more serious issues for the
parties concerned in them. We do not
know who the advisors of the men i'm
plicated were, but we venture the
opinion that they were given very poor
advice. To attempt to rescue friends
who could only be convicted on a
minor charge by committing SO serious
an offense as perjury does not show
much judgment to say the least Of it
and there is mighty little that can be
said in excuse for that kind of a per-
Torrance.

That Good Roads Law.

1t is reported from Madison that the
assembly has decided to put all con-
sideration of good roads measures over
until the special session of the legisla
ture and if the senate agrees to this
postponement Wisconsin farmers can
receive no aid in good road building
until the summer of 1911. 1t is
unfortunate that the cause of road
improvement should receive this set
back just at the time when public in
terest is becoming aroused in the move
ment for the betterment of the high
ways OF the state and not the least of
the sins which this session of the legis-
lature will have to answer for is the
failure to put some kind of a good
roads measure on the statute books Of
the state. The excuse given for this
delay is that the session has been so
prolonged that there is no time left
now in which to reach an agreement
has been unduly prolonged, but is also
true that some of the time during the
five months that the legislature has
been at Madison which has been de-
voted to playing politics and Wrang-
ling over unimportant matters might
much more proftably have been de-
voted to the consideration of a good
roads measure There is no question
but that the people Of the state are
in faver Of state aid in road building
and that they expected the legislature
to pass 2 good roads bill at this ses-
sion. The overwhelming vote in favor
of the constitutional amendment cast
at the last election shows that. It
would not have taken the members of
the legislature any longer to reach an
agreement on a good roads bill at this
session than it is going to take at
the special session and by attending
to this very important matter before
adjournment two years delay would
have been avoided and our state would
have been able to keep pace, with
others in the improvement of it's high
ways. 1t is not as though Wisconsin
was branching out into absolutely new
fields of legislation in passing meas.
ure of this kind either for a number
of the eastern states have been build
ing roads by state aid and under
state supervision for years and the
knowledge gained by them of the
proper mode of procedure could have
been used by our representatives at
Madison in framing a law for this
state. In not passing a good roads
measure the legislature has refused to
give the people of the state the only
law they were all agreed upon for the
sentiment in favor Of the passage Of
such measure was unmistakable.

An automatic camera to measure the
speed of automobiles by registering
two snap shots at an accurately timed
interval is now being used in Mas
sachusetts. It's inventors, Daniel F..
Comstock and Herbert Il. Kalmus of
the Institute of Technology, recently
testified in the first case in which such
a camera record was presented as evil
dence. This case, says Motor Age,
promises to be celebrated in motor his
tory. The speeder was found guilty in
the lower court, but has taken an ap-
peal, which will shortly come up before
the Superior Court at Boston. It
adds:
The instrument bids fair to revolu-
tionize methods of trapping speeders,
for the motorist will know nothing
about it until he is hailed into court.
as the camera will register speed and
get the number at the same time, ac-
cording to it's inventors.
"The method used by the operator
of the camera is to step out behind
the motor car as it passes, hold the
lens vertical and press the button.
This registers the first picture and
about second later the shutter works
automatically and registers another
picture on the same plate. Naturally,
when the machine is moving the pict-
ure first taken is considerably larger
than that taken in the second instance.
Inside the camera and just where
it will show between the upper and
lower picture is small dial, around
which hand works, anti elocklike.
When the operator snaps the button
for the first picture the hand starts
and continues around the dial until
the second exposure is made, when it
instantly stops. There are little
notches on the dial, which have been
worked out by mathematics for tim
ing purposes.
AS soon as the picture has been
developed the process of calculation
begins. A small steel scale, with the
fractions of an inch carefully marked
off, is used to measure the distance be-
tween the treads of the two rear
wheels as shown in the first photo
graph, and then the measurements of
the same section of the machine are
taken in the second picture. By a
system of mathematical formulas the
measurements of the rear of the ma
chine are worked out, and then a com
parison is made with the notches on
the same dial in the camera over
which the hand has passed. This
method, the inventors testified has
been used before for scientific pur-
poses, but only within the last week
or so for the purpose of timing motor
cars. ~

No one is likely to challenge the de-
cision of the Supreme Court that
81 there is nothing of greater import
ance relating to the food supply Of
a city than that the milk supply should
be pure and wholesome and "that
public health cannot wait upon the
slow processes. of legislatiye body,
which decision gives a City Council the
right to vest its health officers with
practically unlimited powers in CON
trolling the milk supply. Now that
these rights have been established be-
yond the possibility of successful at
tack it is the duty Of the Council to
SO amend the ordinances of the CITY
defining the standing of the health
officer SO as to give him every power
necessary for the regulation of the
milk supply and as the attitude the
court may be expected to take in re-
gard to questions involving the authori-
ty cities may confer upon health of
ficers has been pretty well defined
in this decision the Council could
safely go much further and widen the
powers of this class Of officials with
out any fear that it's action could not
be defended in the courts. There is
no fear that any authority conferred
upon health officer will be abused or
that anybody will be deprived of any
rights by the exercise of that authority.
On the contrary the tendency is Just
the other way and ordinarily there are
ten complaints that health officers have
neglected to enforce proper sanitary
regulations to one that they have ex-
ceeded their authority in the perfor-
nance of their duties. AS a matter of
fact in ordinary times a health officer
seldom uses his power for there is no
need of it, but in sudden emergency
such as the outbreak of an endemic
health officer should be in q position
to act promptly and effectively and
he can only do that when he has un-
questioned authority to enforce any
order he may deem necessary. Now is
the time for. the Council to overhaul
it's health ordinance and see that it is
put in such shape that it will not have
to be amended hastily in case of an
emergency.

Racine has just had an experience
in its Municipal Court which should
serve as a warning to all members of
the legislature, if one is needed, to give
all measures in which they are interest
ed the most careful scrutiny even after
the objects sought by the passage of
the bills are apparently attained for
in attempting to improve laws by
amendment errors may creep in which
nullify the most important provisions
of the original act. The Racine mix
up is case in point. Many years
ago an amendment was put through
the legislature giving the Municipal
Court the right to try bastardy cases
and through some error instead of
excepting cases of murder only
the law was made to except
charges of murder, homicide. and
manslaughter. This was not dis
covered until a man had been held to
the Municipal Court on a charge of
|manslaughter and a special act of the
Legislature was necessary to give the
court jurisdiction in the case.

Natural Boys and Baseball

The truth is that the natural boy is
a born player. He plays to grow, and
plays with all his heart. He minds his
instincts at the time when they are
strongest, and he is less likely to oyer
play in his earliest days than he is
years afterwara It will be time
enough to steer him away from base
ball when some other game arrives
with at least an equal call to mental
and bodily ability-New York World.
