The Anti-Dreyfusitee.

The Frenchman who fired two shots
at Major Dreyfus few weeks ago In
q highly sensational way was recently
acquitted in court. He declared, and
apparently proved, that not Dreyfus
the man, but Dreyfusism the seni-
ment, was the object of his attack.
He claimed that his cartridges con-
tanned wax bullets, and the fact that
the injuries inflicted were of trivial
nature gives color to this plea. The
scene in the courtroom after the &C
Quittal shows that the old feeling
against Dreyfus is still strong in
France. Some of the spectators cheer
ed and some groaned when the YER
dict was announced. Dreyfus was
present and proclaimed himself limo
cent of the charge of treason which
led to his disgrace and imprisonment.
Voices that had groaned over the YER
dict cheered Dreyfus, and those which
had cheered before greeted the unfor-
tunate man with groans.
No word of Dreyfus could now add
weight to the decision of the highest
French courts as to his guilt. He has
been acquitted, restored to rank and
promoted Yet there seems. to be a
large element in Paris which still be-
lieves that Dreyfus attempted to be-
tray his nation to Germany, and the
people composing it will never forgive
the, men who championed his cause nor
cease to reprobate the government off
Gals who helped to proclaim his in
nocence and make tardy amends for
his disgrace and punishment. This
work will never be undone in all prob
ability, and so the anti-Dreyfusites
have nothing to gain in their agitation
except the qualification of revenge.

The IRRESPONSIBLE Shooting Iron.

The arrest recently of a man mental
ly irresponsible and lettering for no
rational purpose about the grounds of
the president at Oyster Bay with a
loaded rev yer on his person again
calls attention to our lax laws with
regard to concealed weapons. The
presence of an insane man armed with
a loaded revolver anywhere should
cause people to sit up and do some
hard thinking. The man must be suf-
ficiently balanced to know that load
ed revolver is more effective than an
unloaded one or he would have carried
the revolver in one pocket and the
ammunition in another or perhaps
have left the ammunition out alto
gether and depended solely upon lock,
stock and barrel for emergencies.
About a year ago man, also de-
clered to be mentally unbalanced"
went into a store in Boston, bought a
revolver and ammunition and walked
Icoolly a few blocks, where he shot to
death a prominent citizen. 1t is rec
ognized by alienists that the mentally
unbalanced often have surprising
method in their madness. 1t may often
be difficult for society to decide where
moral responsibility begins and ends
in these cases, but society can with
justice try to stop the arming of such
people for deadly violence. Laws
against carrying concealed, weapons
are upheld. A law against the sale
Of a weapon, except under a license
by the authorities, would be equally
consistent. The mischief begins at the
retailers counter, and there is the
place to put a wholesome check upon
the arming of any irresponsible and
dangerous class of persons.

Young Writers and Opportunity.


Discussing the demand for new ma
terial created by the immense output
Of newspaper, magazine and book pub
fishing houses in the current number
Of the New England Magazine, an ex-
perienced editor declares with empha-
I sis that this is ''the day Of the writer"
That goes without saying as a general
proposition, but when this authority
adds ''the opportunity Of the young
writer is endless" one is inclined to
read on and learn whether the oppOr-
tunity is worth while. 1t appears that
the newspapers are waiting for the
young writer, the magazines are seek
ing him and the book publishers are
ready to pounce upon him ''as soon as
his head shows"
Among the rewards which the young
writer may look forward to, according
to this expert, are 800 to $1,000 each
for stories determined by length and
value "and the reputation of the
writer" or earnings of $4,000 to $685.
600 a year for authors whose names
have carrying power and $4,000 to
$4,000 a year for ''the less successful"
Just what inspiration there is in these
figures for the young literary aspirant
is disclosed when the cOnfidiug editor
explains the later rapturous statement,
''There is more joy in a magazine Of
fee over an available manuscript from
new writer than over the best work
Of a veteran contributor" It is only
fair to say that in spite of this joy the
new wraber's manuscript will fetch
only about 80 to so per cent Of the
price paid to the veteran contribu-
tor" The main reason for this joy,
however, is that "there is nothing
magazine editor so prides himself
upon as discovering unknown merit"
and any mail bag may bring "the first
manuscript Of the next Kiplihg or Da-
Wis or Harrington"
The above is all very fine and very
true, yet the candor of this editor,
who is telling his own story, should
have led him to add that the new
writer's work must be better than that
Of the veteran contributor or It will
be rejected, which is really asking an
apprentice to do as we'll as trained
hand. The great demand for manu-
script is the young writer's opportu-
nifty, but the beginner should under
stand that young" manuscript will
have no chance of carrying joy or
fetching a check. The manuscript of
trained and approved writers is al
ways in. competition, and it brings
Joy to the editor when it is time to
put the magazine to press, for he
knows that it is safe to place before
his readers.

The Insanity Defense.

Putting up insanity as a defense in
murder trials has become great scan
dial and farce in some sections of the
country. Respect for the testimony of
experts, often brought in as an after
thought, has been weakened because
Of the greed for cash that has often
been displayed in the expert business.
The public has little faith in the hon.
esty of the average expert when sum-
mOned as a witness. But it must be
different when a body of expert ply.
sicians act as a court upon the ques-
ton Of insanity and not as the parti-
sans of the defense or the prosecution
in murder trial.
In a recent case in New York city
Judge took advantage of a section Of
the criminal code never before put to
such use and appointed a commission
in lunacy to inquire into the sanity of
one accused of murder. In the Thaw
case the commission was appointed
after the question of the sanity of the
accused had been raised before the
jury. The commission appointed un-
der the criminal code has power to
proceed as any court would do and in
quire into the mental condition Of the
accused before the crime was commit
ted, at the time of its preparation
and also at the time of the eXamina-
ton. This report may be attacked
and It's findings may have to come be-
fore jury, but it is in the interests OF
truth and justice to have the question
Of sanity determined by an official med
ical commission whose judgment will
not be warped through sympathy with
q subject facing death.

The Best Working Hen.

The public has been told by coed
authority that the American hen is a
great agent of prosperity. The pro-
ceeds Of her industry, if all directed to
one purpose, would do surprising finan-
cial stunts" for the nation. Yet the
ways Of the hens and of the hen own
ers are so simple and so primitive but
SO successful withal, that it is a ques-
ton whether any good can come from
attempts to systematic and expand
the elements of production, whatever
may be done with regard to marketing.
Hens are known to be very erratic,
and, taking the whole field over, about
everything connected with their indus.
try is erratic up to the point where the
eggs land in the hands of the first
buyer.
1t could probably be proved that I'M
der the present haphazard system Of
the country 5000 hens under 100 small
owners net twice the profit accruing
where 5000 are distributed among ten
owners. The keeper Of few hens can
show that the cost Of keeping a hen is
really nothing, because she is fed on
waste and what she picks up in the.
main, and all the hen feed purchased
is more than returned in food for the
owners table, so that the returns on
eggs sold are clear gain. The small
owner gives personal care to his stock
and manages to get the best results.
The large owner cannot give the same
kind Of care and may be keeping stock
which earns nothing.
The small owner Of hens usually
gets the highest prices for eggs. There
must be a good market at hand to at.
tract small owners to the business, but
the large owner must sell for what he
can get and may often stand a loss.
by small owners is not to be gagged
by statistics Of shipments and sales In
the chief markets. Throughout all the
thickly settled region within 80 miles
Of New York the cackle Of the busy
hen rises in one continuous paean all
the morning, and yet experts say that
II all the eggs raised for sale In Con-
necticut, New Jersey and southern
New York were poured into New York
city markets alone the supply would
not begin to go around. Not half or
a quarter Of them do get to the city
market, because they are bought up
nearer home and consumed before they
are a day old. This is the small own
er's opportunity-personal attention to
small flock and "fresh egg" prices
for the product. The local demand
for fresh eggs increases constantly,
and the best caterers to 1t are the own
ers Of a small parcel of land and a
few hens and who also engage In ether

Mexico,s Growing Distrust.

It was natural that MeXicans should
charge bad faith on this side Of the
border in the matter of the recent rev.
olution Such conditions always breed
distrust. People on our northern Dor
der felt the same about Canada when
hostile enterprises were fOated there
during the civil war, and later the
Canadians got back at us during the
Fenian troubles. But it is clear that
Mexican distrust Of Americans is older
than any revolution of recent times.
1t is so patent that Europe notes and
comments upon it. Recently the Lon
don Times observed that the effort of
the Mexican government to get the
control Of the Central railway system
out Of American hands is a well
thought out policy to shake free from
this country. This same paper asserts
that the predominant position Of Amer
leans in Mexico today has been won
Gin spite Of the will of the NIexicans.
Undeniably straws sometimes show
the way the wind blows. Lately
prominent paper of the City of Mexico,
Ell TEMPO, has been casting slurs
upon American residents and tourists
in Mexico even saying that the gen
crafty of them are below the Mexican
poems, or slaves, in good breeding. 1t
is to be hoped that this paper does not
reflect the best sentiment of the MeXi-
can people; otherwise outsiders may be
cited as more just. In a recent book
entitled Mexico In the Twentieth
Century" appears the sentence, 'The
history Of the Americans in Mexico is
a history of which any alien country
might feel proud" This is an English
writer's opinion and has reference
to the relations of American residents
there with "a people strange In re-
ligion, thought and speech" relations
coupled with the investment Of $780,
100000 American gold in Mexican en-
terprises. Ground for commercial
jealousy the Mexicans may have, but
no rational one for personal hostility.

Records of the consulate at Bor-

been no diminution In the export of
French foods and food products to the
United States, consequent upon the
enforcement Of our pure food law, but,
on the contrary, the values of such
exports during the first years opera
ton of the law actually increased.
This showing leads to the belief that
instead of hampering trade the pure
food law has benefited it and seems
to have carried with it greater respect
for foreign labels.
