A Remarkable Season.

BY winning yesterdays baseball
game the local team practically COM
plete a remarkably successful season,
having nineteen wins to two defeats
chalked to their credit. All the teams
played, with the exception of one or
two were the best in~the amateur line
and none of them have been able to
score over six points on Crown Point
during the entire season. The locals
may possibly extend their season and
take on a contest or two with a Chi
cage semi-pro team, not expecting to
win, but to try out the mettle of the
players. The finances of the club are
in good condition. making the proposed
contests a possibility.

WELL SENTENCED.

We remarked the other day that the chauffeur
Darragh had been well convicted by the jury
before which he was tried. It remains to be
added that he was we'll sentenced yesterday by
Judge AIulqueen In saying that we refer not
merely 70 the term of Imprisonment which was
prescribed for him. but equally to the admirable
language in which the judge pronounced the
sentence and Yindicated its justice. 1t would
be difficult for any master of English speech
to state more simply. more clearly. more con
vincingIy and with more fiawless and absolute
truth the circumstances and nature of Oar
CHS crime than was done in these words:
It is an elementary legal rule that mans in
tent NAV be inferred from his acts. When you
took your seat in that car You were free II
drive carefully or recklessly. You chose to 60 ar
a most reckless speed. And you knew that you
bore a message Of death for the unfortuna tes in
your path. You knew that all the people had at
least equal right to our streets and roads.
You cared more for your pleasure than for
the life Of any other person You had the power
to choose and YOU elected TO 10 that which de-
stroyed an innocent life and brought the deep
est sorrow TO happy home.
There was no exaggeration in stating in ad-
dition and a natural sequence, that the yer
/ dict of manslaughter was, in fact, tinged with
mercy. II is an obvious reflection that the
judges description Of this one criminals con
duct and attitude of mind might with equal fit
ness be applied TO many other chaufeurs and
automobiists who are still at large II the
grave warning of what may hefall the next
who comes into the dock shall be taken TO
heart by them and shall be acted upon, Judge
! NIulqueen will have performed q triple public
service of 8 high order, in rightly disposing of
worthy exposition of the law and justice of the
case, and in checking one of the most serious
menaces to life and limb from which the com
munity now suffers.

IFS AT GETTYSBURG.

Secretary Dickinson's speech at Gettysburg on

Union and the establishment on American soil

He drew vivid picture Of the results of n sue
Ieessful secession, showing that it would have
forced on both the South and the North pro-
IEramme Of militarism burdensome as that

FEach section would have been obliged to arm
for future hostilites for Il is inconcevable that
spermanent peace could have followed drawn

would have been tempted into foreign alliances

THE RADICApS PROGRESS

short time ago one of the Jaborite mem
bers Of the British Parliament introduced bill
for vindicating the right to work It provided
that every municipality should give work at the
prevailing rate of wages to all who sought it..
whether there was any work TO be done or not.
Public undertakings which We're not needed, or
which would not be needed for years to come.
were to be entered upon for the sake Of giving
men employment, and If they were incompetent
or lazy and did only fraction Of what efficient
laborers would do, the taxpayers were to bear
the loss. The measure was SO Objectionable that
it defeated by an overwhelming majority,
the government members largely opposing it.
Our London correspondents letter in re-
cent issue reminded us, however, that the
straight and swift trend Of British Radical
legislation, under the guidance of such ambl-
tious young men as Mr. Churchill and Mr. LLOYD
George is unmistakably toward enactments
scarcely less extreme than this, if not ultimately
toward this very thing. Already, as we know,
there is an old age pension law, which is soon
TO be much extended in its application through
lowering of the age limit. Next Mr.. Churchill
means to establish a system of national employ
ment bureaus. which. to Judge from the experi-
ence of other lands, may prove to be a good
thing. Following that Mr.. Lloyd-George will
make his competing bid for the Laborite leader
ship, with an extension of the old age pension
system providing pensions for disabled persons
Of any age Again Sfr. Churchill will "go one
better" with a scheme for insurance against
employment, under which every man who is
out OF work win receive a pension or subsidy
until he gets employment
Ihls last scheme may be only a logical carry
ing out OF the principle Of the labor agencies
through sort Of guarantee that the latter will
provide employment. Practically Mr. Churchill
VIII be saying 70 all workingmen: I'VE will
mo employment for you, or will pay you a
regular stipend until we do" Really, the diff
ference is not impressively great between that
ana the scheme for compelling municipalities to
give work 70 ali men OF course, when present
ed under the name Of social reforms" these

A QUEER ARGUMENT.

THE Louisville Courer-Journal" makes the
curious argument that duty on automobiles
will have the bad effect of allowing American
manufacturers to borrow foreign ideas and
produce machines here as good as those Of for
eign make. It says:
It is well known that the making Of automo-
biles is one industry in which Americans have
followed instead of led; that the foreigners de-
veloped the modern motor car and that the
Americans have merely copied. So well have
they done this that they make as good au-
tomobies for all practical purposes as can be
bought abroad; but IL certainly is the extreme
OF nerve to ask for such tariff as will enable
them to sell in America on their own terms IDEAS
they have appropriated in Europe, safeguarded
from any competition with the originators Of
those ideas
We cannot see that there is any wrong in Dor
rowing the ideas of foreign manufacturers, if
those ideas are not legally protected under the
patent laws. Other nations have initiated ol.r
inventions. especially in machinery and if the
imitation is legitimate 1t is not dscreditabie but
praiseworthy. The American automobile maker
is entitled to a reasonable protection. Moreover
automobiles are properly classed as luxuries
and even the StarEyed Goddess has never
seriously protested against customs taxes on
Injuries.

ANOTHER BLOCK FOR THAW.

The efforts of Thaw's counsel to get their
client out of Matteawan have met with series
OF reverses of which that in the Appellate
Division of the Second Department is one or
the most important. 1t was an appeal from
Justice Mills's ruling last summer that Thaw
was not entitled to q trial by jury on the issue
of his sanity. and Justice Mills is sustained
This is a severe blow to the Thaw plans, be
cause a jury trial on his sanity offered the best
prospects of securing his freedom. Juries in in
sanity cases incline to give defendants the
benefit of the doubt, on the theory, apparently,
that if Cd being set at large they turn out to be
of unsound mind they be readily appre-
hended again.
The Appellate Division has decided that none
of Thaw's constitutional rights was invaded
when Justice Bowling ordered him TO Mattea-
wan. He had notice and a hearing" because
his present confinement was q possible issue
Of the trial Of his sanity by the jury before
which he was arraigned for murder due
process of law" is observed because he has
the right to apply at any time 70 the courts
for his discharge
It is imperatively necessary that the courts
should have the power that Justice Bowling
exercised. When the defence Of insanity Is
made the sanity Of the defendant at the time
Of the act for which he is on trial is alone st
issue. When the jury acquits on the ground OF
insanity It does not render verdlCC reSdlu-
ing the prisoners mental state at the time Of
the trial. Under the iury's verdict the most
dangerous maniacs would at once be set free
except for the power which the laws give the
trial Judge TO commit TO an asylum any per
son whose discharge would in HIS Judgment be
dangerous TO the public peace. For the pro
lection of the community that power Is tmpera-
tfvely necessary Trial by Jury for insanity
as a matter of right would reduce the connne-
rleut of the insane TO a farce. If a jury IN
such a trial brought in a verdict OF lnsanlV
if could only mean that the defendant was IN
sane at the time of the trial. but that would NOT
prevent his applying for another hearing De
fore another jury a week or a month later 10
see if he had not recovered his sanity II Is
easy 10 perceive how succession of jury trials
would reduce the protection Of society from in
sane persons 10 an absur1ity. Without jury
trial Thaw will be compelled 10 rely upon the
writ Of habeas corpus. for which he can apply
at any time and so long as the hearing on the
habeas corpus writ is held in this county, where
the interests Of the state can be adequately
represented there is no danger that Justice will
be defeated
New-York tribune., 1909-06-05
fore reflected the sane and philosophical South

fore reflected the sane and philosophical South
ern view when he said
And to this day there in the South but
few, if any, who would not turn swiftly wlth
sentiments Of adherence from any suggestion
that it would have been better for the South
if it had succeeded in establishing an inde-
pendent government
The Charleston News and Courier" takes, we
think, very light-hearted view when it dissents
in part from Secretary Dickinson's conclusions
and argues that 1.-The development of the ma
teriaI resources of the South in the last twenty
five years shows what would have resulted TO Us
had the Southern arms been successful in the
struggle for independence" Independent, the
South would never have had the chance TO de-
velop in peace which has come to 1t through re-
union. It would have emerged from successful
war practically impoverished and would have
had to expend nearly all its energies to main
tain its military efficiency. Major Hempnlh
thinks that "in very short time slavery would
have been abolished" on the Sout1's own motion.
But would If have been? Slavery was the eco
nomic milestone about the South's neck. The
reader of Olmstedis wonderfully penetrating let
ters written between 1856 and 1858, can see how
thoroughly destructive economically the slave
system was. Yet it was the cornerstone Of the
Southern structure. Secession was forced in
order TO save slavery. The slave owners con-
troIed the politics of the Southern States They
had reduced the poor whites 10 condlIlon Oh
semi-slavery and had inoculated the Southern
people with the idea that cotton growing was
their true source of wealth and that slave labor
was essential TO produce cotton. 1t is hard to
imagine the slave oligarchy admitting the
falsity of all its professions and consenting to
the abolition of slavery. Even abolition OBJ
tained that way would have entailed great
political and social conflict and the South would
still have had TO deal with the problem of the
freed negro. The South has happily forgotten
its wounds of the Civil War. and can say with
out regret that good instead of evil came from
the failure of Lees attack at Gettysburg.
