THE THIRD DEGREE.

Often man is arrested on circum-
stantial evidence or suspicion. when
there is very little real proof of his
guilt. Then the policemen try to make
him confess his guilt by the employ
ment of the third degree" There are
Various methods employed under the
name of the third degree" and they
vary in severity between intense cross
questioning and extreme physical tor
turc.
The only iuStiliabIc form of the third
and the s-qucstiOners often become
so proficient in the art that they are
able. Intentionally or otherwise, to SO
confuse an innocent man that they
make him appear guilty. Convictions
under evidence gained by Use of this
method then. is dangerous and is prob
ably often a contrOversion of Justice.
Conviction from testimony gained by
physical torture is no more nor less
than return to the methods Ol the
Spanish inqui>ition of centuries aga.
What justification is there for the APP
plication of those methods to the
courts Of justice today:
A fairly common form of applying
the third degree is to suspend the man
by his thumbs until i'm his agony ne
is willing to confess anything. AnOth-
er is to let water drop on his head until
it becomes intense torture, and the
person would rather suffer punishment
for crime of which he may be guiltless
than endure the torture any longer
This very ingenious device is borrowed
from the Chinese. and the Indians We're
the inventors OF the suspension by the
thumbs device.
Another form Of applying the third
degree" is to enrage the accused per-
son by insulting remarks and indigni-
ties until he loses all control of his
senses and may be trapped into making
statements.

TRAINING FOR
JOURNALISM

Joseph Pulitzer, in the North Amer
lean Review. writes:
They object that there are some
things that Il College of Journalism
cannot teach | admit it. No college
can give imagination. initiative, impulse,
nthu>ia>m sense of humOr or irony.
These things must be Unborn. But
would not such inborn qualities be de-
vclopcd and strengthened in the atmOs-
phere of the proposed college: Is not
the development of such Unborn quail
ties seen everywhere in intellectual
life! The poet, it is true. is born, not
made That is also true of great ora

is Demosthcnes, Cicero, Burke and
Webster declaim the masterpieces of
oratory and rhetoric? Did not Van
Byyck and every other great painter
benefit by the careful study of the
work of their great predecessors in art
And with these facts in mind may we
not hope that the student at Columbia
university living in an atmosphere of
journalism. with the highest examples
and ideals of journalism constantly
before him. will bring to the highest
efficiency whatever dormant or Unborn
faculty he may possess? 1t seems to
me that the more conclusivcly the crit

able the more they prove the necessity
OF teaching everything possible that is

JUST WHAT DOES
HAZINC MEAN ?

/ The judiciary committee OF the
a bill having for its object the prohi-
hition OF hazing in the educational in
,titu,ions of the State. OF course the
thin" prohibited needs 10 be accurate
ly defined. The dictionary says it means
to play mischievous or abusive tricks;
To try the temper or pluck of a per-
son" The terms of the act are little
more comprehensive. They provide that
every person being student or being
Il person in attendance at any public,
private. parochial or military school,
college or other educational institution.
who shall knowingly or wilfully COM
nit any act that in ures, degrades or
Gi>graces or tends To niure. frighten,
degrade or disgrace any fellow student
or person attending such institution,
shall be held guilty OF Il misiemeanOr
ami upon conviction shall be fined not
less than ten dollars nor more than a
hundred dollars. or be imprisoned not
less than thirty days nor more than
one Year. or both" If tattoOing or
other Disagreement is rc>ortcd to an
extreme penalty OF ten years impris
onmcnt may De imposed. If the opin-
ion of our cN-Presidcnt upon tha, bill
could be obtained he would probably
call it a measure to develop molly
coddlc>. 1t might be easy to prove
that student had been in iurcd or
even di>graccd. but To undertake to
protect him against fright would seem
10 be- rather straining the law. For
instance. in woman's college the re-
lease of Il mouse might stampede a
whole class. and this would cost the
unfortunate joker under the strict terms
of the law. ten dollars for each panic
stricken student. The bill should be
amended before passing. Boston Tran

Sticking to a Thing.

Many business men fail because they
are quitter>. 1t may be that more fail
for this reason than any other. What
ever the proportion. the number is too
large. Men can accomplish more than
they ever drcamt of. in most eases. 1t

when man is engaged in Il pursuit in
to which his physical and mental quail
ties fit. If plants succumbcd to every
whiil of biting air in the raw days of
sprim" and shrivcled up at every
drought of summer. there would be no
fruit. Nature points TIE way to hold
ing on with grim tcnaci,y and left
alone the face of the earth is smoth
cred in shrub and flower and seed.
In the fields of industry Thomas A..
Edison is splendid illustration of
these truths. He says: In scientific

factor of success is the power of stick

man would make a mistake of travel

Strangers in House of Commons.

/ One of the most important a!tera-
/ tions which members of the House of
Commons will notice when they reas-
>cmble a month hence will be a stran-
gers bureau. Its construction. which
is now in progress. is the sequel to the
scenes created by the suifragettes in
the House durin" the last session. In
the last month of the autumn session
as the result of their conduct 10 stran-
ger was seen within the House of Com
mons. A committee was appointed to
draw up new rules for admission of
strangers. The members recommended
the passing of an act making it Grim
inal Offense for strangers to brawl
within the chamber. and they also rec
commended that strangers should be
made responsible for their own good be-
havior. and should sign paper accept
ing that responsibility. That being
done the committee saw no reason why
women. as well as men, should not be
admitted to the strangers gallery. 1t
is in preparation for the change that
the new bureau is being made As here
tofore. tickets for the gallery will be
balloted for by members in advance

Her "BeStest Papa."

1t was just 4 o'clock. and the rays of
the rising sun had begun to peep over
the eastern horizon. The father had
gotten up to light the fires to get the
house warm. and sneaked into the little
daughters bed room to see that she was
well covered up. In pulling the bed
clothes up and tucking them in, he
aroused the sleeper and with half open
ed eyes, her face covered with curls, she
asked:

do l."
No. no. daughter" replied the father.
1T is only 4 o'clock. Turn over and go

little kindness as letting your little girl

ty minutes, please"

came to Des Moines to be state audi.
tor he brought the COW and the family
horse with him and they are still a

elevation to the highest office in the
gift of the state did not change his
habits. The sack coat did not give
place to the ceremonial frock, and he
still takes care of the COW.

leave at night.-Des Moines Register
