LAWS TO FIT cRIMEs.

In view OF the whitla kidnapping
case there is satisfaction in the fact
that Pennsylvania has law which fits
the crime and if the parties are caught
that they may be sent to prison for
life IL the court so determines. This
kidnapping of children is a higher
crime than murder; in fact, It is so
cruel and merciless that parents would
be relieved if they even knew the
kidnapped child was DEAF. The for-
ror of the loss of Charlie Ross has
never yet been wiped out. States
which have not laws to fit such a
crime should enact them.
The claim is constantly being made
that the laws in this country with re-
gard to the cruel and barbarous con-
duct OF the Black Hand are not Of
SUFFICIENT severity to restrain them;
that these European malefactors are
well aware of this fact and that in
consequence this country is an invit-
ing place for their operations.
The country or state without laws
adequate TO meet the offenses of the
worst characters known to civilization
is in sorry plight.

LACK OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

The nation that is short Of skilled
workmen must import them or suffer.
There is nothing praiseworthy In a
policy which keeps skilled workmen
to a minimum number. In the pres
ent dilemma of England 1t is alleged
that she has ship yards enough to
build Dreadnaughts faster than she
really needs them, and the British
people are just now ready to appro-
pirate the millions 10 the purpose. But
a suspicion is raised that there is not
enough skilled labor in the land to do
the work, If it is planned that there
shall go forward together all the con-
struction which the yards and the
purse can undertake. There Is no lack
of men in Great Britain. for her army
Of unemployed is so great that she
hardly knows what to do with them.
She could employ more we're they
trained In the work she has for them.
II is believed that this revelation Of
Industrial weakness will result in the
striking Of a better balance between
the skilled and unskilled workmen
than now exists there.

EXPENSES EXCEEDING REEVE
NUES.

This has been trying year with
the treasury department and the de-
felt promises to be the largest since
the republicans were returned TO pow
er. Reports show that since March
began the treasury has received s1s,-
764,4S2 from the custom houses, S1s,-
605,S72 from the internal taxes. and
from other and unspecified sources
s2,99s,012. OF the s37Ss0 600 dis
bursed since March began, $40, 46o, 900
went to the public pensioners and
$4,000 to the Indians. The civil
and miscellaneous expenditures to-
tailed s7,73O,oO0; the expenditures on
war department account S6,s1o,000;
the expenditures on navy department
account, s750oo0O; the expenditures
on public works s4,s2o.OOo.
There is still an available cash bal
anee in the treasury of S196.013.433.9O.
which is in no immediate danger Of
being exhausted; but It viii be a glad
day when business takes a new start
and the revenues prove ample to meet
all the expenses Of the government.

HOW REckLEssNEss is FINED.

So long as reckless automobile
drivers can laugh at the law, just so
long will they go on in their mad career
injuring property and Gripping and
killing citlzenS
The Courant calls attention to two
cases-one at Hartford and the other
at New Haven--in these words:
"The reckless fellow who ran his
automobile so fast as to smash
wagon all to flinders on Pennington
evenue the other night only escaped
by undeserved luck from killing the
man whose vehicle he strewed along
the roadway for a block. The court
leniently gave him only thirty days In
jail, and, behold. he has appealed his
case.
"Down In New Haven on Friday
young fellow was caught driving his
machine across the crowded corner of
Chapel and Church streets at the rate
Of twenty-five miles an hour. The
police took him in, and his plea was
that II was impossible to run at a
lower speed. Further investigation de-
veloped the interesting fact that the
youth who couldn't help II didn't have
any license at all and had no right to
be driving a machine in the street
The Judge denounced him for 'violat-
Ing about every law relative to the
use and speed Of automobiles For
that mild offense the Judge gave him
ten days in jail He appealed too"
The Courant is talking to the point
when 1t says: ut strikes US that the
superior court when It takes hold Of
these cases will become an object OF
interest. Each sentence is SO light
that q has excited unfavorable com
naent and yet each offender has set I'D
the contention that II is too severe and
has appealed to the higher court to let

CIRCULATION
PUBLIC UTILITIES HEARING TO-
DAY,

A hearing upon the public utilities
bill win be held before the commit
lee on judiciary at Hartford today,
Ind II Is to be hoped that a large
representation Of those fAvoring the
Pill will be present Those opposed
10 Il viii surely be there.
The object Of this measure is to
protect the people from the overt acts
Of the representatives Of great cor
porations and TO secure to them a
means Of securing their rights with
despatch-to protect them from art
full policies Of delay which usually
mean defeat.
There Ia nothing In the measure that
Is arbitrary. 1t is more or less a
buffer against the practice Of arbitrary
conduct and promotive Of all Just de-
mands on the part Of the people.
The public ought TO be interested
enough In the bill to make a strong
and impressive manifestation for II.
TO let 1t fail from lack Of interest
would be a lamentable blunder on the
part Of the people.

MINORITY REPORT ARRAIoNs
THE PAYNE TARIFF BILL
Crude, Indefinite, Sectional, viii In.
crease Cost Of Living.

Washington, March 22.-That the
Payne tariff bill will increase the cost
of living; that Il is crude. indefinite,
sectional and prohibitive; and that It
is an open challenge to a trade war
with every other nation on earth. are
some Of the criticisms OF that meas
ure made by the democratic members
Of the ways and means committee, in
the minority report submitted to the
house by the minority leader, Champ
Clark, today.
The report is q severe arraignment
OF the revision which the Payne bill
proposes. The countervailing duty
provisions for coffee and petroleum,
the maximum and minimum features,
the Cuban reciprocity clause and the
wooden, glass, agriculture and sugar
schedules are bitterly attacked.
