Victory For the Written Law.

ire V1CCUry TUT Vuc WE1ttcu A6Ws
The verdict in the Hams trial will
be widely accepted as substantial pun
ishment. and it must stand as q re-
pulse for the doctrine of the unwritten
law. The failure to convict Captain
Hams brother as an accomplice in a
previous trial was a surprise to the
country. The accused brother was es-
pecially callous in his conduct through
out and in his cynical contempt for
the exactions Of law.
The plea Of insanity put up by Cap
tain Hams is a valid and proper de-
Tense against the accusation Of MUIR
der. Its acceptance by a jury does not
tend to encourage violent crimes. The
slayer does not go unrestrained, and
there is non of the posing as a hero,
which is a disgusting and dangerous
sequel to acquittal by the unwritten
law. Justice is too often outraged in
this country by deeds Of the kind for
which Captain Hams will pay the pen
atty. The verdict is a triumph for the
people and q vindication Of the spirit
Of fairness, irmness and faithfulness
in the lawful guardians Of public or
der.

European nations. About every coun-

the island or inland natives Of the
orient. For years, extending as far
back as Napoleon's time, Russian con-
quest of Asia has been a menace to

Russia's paws are tied. She has all
she can do at home.
Turkey is needed to keep the Mos

let her alone. Japan stands guard on
the northern Pacific, and the United
States guarantees peace on the Chi

ceased to be bones Of contention, and
political friction in Asia is everywhere
reduced to a minimum by recent

canada's Old Ago Annuity.

A recent act Of the Dominion par
Lament indicates that our neighbor on
the north is looking ahead and prepar-
ing to meet the grave industrial prob
lens Of the future. England has pen
stoned old age, but some Of the great
est economists Of the nation hold that
this necessity could have been avoided
by following the plan Of other coun-
tries in establishing old age annuities
at the expense Of workingmen and
employers.
The system which the new law will
inaugurate in Canada is calculated to
encourage thrift, the same as the post
al savings banks. Through q govern
ment bureau old age annuities will be
sold to workingmen, and the annual
cost Of running the bureau will be the
extent of the governments financial
risk. Workingmen may begin at any
age to pay into the bureau a small sum
weekly and provide for an annuity of
from $50 to $235 out Of their own saw
ings. There are liberal rules for re-
newals when payments lapse and for
paying the accumulations to heirs In
case Of death. Employers may con-
tract for annuities for employees, and
benevolent societies may provide in
this way for their members. There is no.
compulsion in the law, but public opin-
Ion win in time no doubt heartily en-.
courage this form Of old age insurance.
