TWO JUDICIAL METHODS.
philadelphia Press. J

The prompt administration of JUS
tice through the courts in England is
being constantly held up for our adj
miration. Every case tried there i'm
portant enough to attract outside no.
tlce calls attention anew to the great
er simplicity, directne8s and effective
ness of the English method in secur-
ing Justice as compared with the tedi-
GUS process that has come into vogue
Ill this country, that postpones and de-
feats justice without any balancing
benefit to the general community
Yet the English courts and our own
nave common origin and a common
law The methods of both are from
the same original fountain head The
difference that now appears between
them is due to the fact that the Eng
llsh court procedure has been reform
ed Their Judges have been cured of
an early tendency to make form su-
preme to substance, to treat the letter
OF the law as an all-important and dis
regard its spirit and intent. They no
longer magnify technicalities and ex-
haust ingenuity in interpretations fav-
orable to the prisoner. The Judges
are impatient with delay and treat the
courts as created for the public good
and not as shield and protection for
those accused of crime.
We have travelled a different course
in this country, and in some of the
States the path of legal administration
has led justice far afeld Judge CAN'T
, of the Supreme Court of Missouri, is
an extreme instance of this American
tendency to make the administration
OF law ridiculous and subversive Of
/ Justice. Under his decision a convicted
criminal was recently set free to prey
again on the community because the
indictment said state of Missouri
instead of the State of Missouri"
Another criminal named Charles Co.
hen was freed by the same Judge be-
cause he was tried and convicted I'M
der the name of Charles Cohn There
was no doubt of his guilt or his iden-
tity, bat the carelessness of a clerk in
emitting one in transcribing his
name set him free
Most American Judges would not go
this length, probably, but the Missouri
Judge is only an extreme instance of
judicial tendency which is as wide
as the courts, and which calls aloud
for radical correction.

CURRENT COMMENT

las Napoleon of finance his
operations have excited general won
der, both by 5their extent and their
| prottableness. Much of his energy
has been expended in effecting CON
solicitations, and he has been justly
| criticised, perhaps for some of his
| manipulations of stocks in his numer-
Gus deals. The Chicago and Alton af-
fair, for example, is still in need of
explanation, though volumes have
been written about it. The ''commun-
ity of interests" principle was pushed
by Mr.. Hartman to great lengths.
Vast sums-so called "surplus"-have
been invested in the stock of the great
| railway systems of the East, till his
voice is potent in the management of
the New York Central and many other
| powerful Eastern corporations of the
. first magnitude. Mr.. Hartman, in
brief, by unusual capacity and intens-
ity of application, has become the
virtual arbiter of the fate of railroads
covering almost the entire Union
But was it worth while? He achiev-
ed a vast deal-more than he himself
few years ago could have conceived
possible. But would it not have been
better to have gone about his self-im-
posed task in more leisurely manner
in manner consistent with the re-
tention of his health? Assuming that
what he did was worth doing, would
| not his work now possess increased
elements of permanence had it been
put together in a less feverish haste?
| is there not danger that his own col
| lapse will be followed by the undoing
OF his elaborate structure? In his
domestic life Mr.. Hartman is said to
| be exemplary. Socially he has a host
of friends He has not-like some
| others who suddenly rose to great
| power and wealth-"burnt the candle
at both ends adding physical to men
tai excesses. There is reason, then. to
hope that the native strength of his
! constitution will enable him to recov-
er and live long in the enjoyment of a
simple life at an easier pace

WHO ARE THE DEAD!

Who are the dead? Surely not those
Who, at the end of well spent day,
Fold their tired hands in sweet repose
And pass away.
Not those who early in life's morn
Too frail to bear the heat of day,
Turn their pure eyes to Heavens cool
dawn
And pass away.
Not those who with true hearts and
strong
Have bravely faced their fate each day
Nor murmured tho the time seemed
long
Ere they could pass away
Nor those rare ones for whom life's
cup
Has brimmed with sweetness day by
day,
Who still with smiling face looks up
And pass away.
These have but passed to fuller life,
Casting earth's weaknesses away,
And having conquered in the strife
Rejoice in endless day.
The dead are those whose hearts are
dead,
Who, turned from their Fathers
face,
Upon the husks of life have fed
And missed the fullness of His grace

pie who have friends Or relatives cob
fined there. The agitation is calculaf-
ed to cause them anxiety for the well
fare of these friends and relatives. If
any good could be accomplished at
this time, or if changes for the better
were imperatively and Immediately de-
| manded, agitation would be in order.
AS far as we have been able to dis
cover, the officials of the Sanitarium
are doing all that can be done with
the money at their disposal If we are
not mistaken, this was the conclusion
OF the legislative committee that made
! an investigation during the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature.
If that committee had reported that
the officials were incompetent and
that the money was being wasted-if
it had said that there were abuses
| that needed correcting at once to avoid
| scandals of a very serious nature
then the present agitation would be
in order, But, if we understand the
committees report, what is needed is
more money. A great many improve
ments are required and a better class
| OF employees is demanded. But before
| these things can be had the appropri-
\ alton must be larger.
There are over 5000 inmates in the
institution. The cost of caring fol
such number of people in the way
they should be cared for is much
greater than $4,000 a year. That il
about the sum allowed by the Legisla
ture. 1t is probably true that there
| are minor abuses. How can they be
avoided where there are so MANY EN-
| ployes, some of whom are so poorly
! paid that they don't care whether they
are discharged or not? Where the
| compensation is but a small induce
ment to render good and efficient serv
ice 1t is extremely difficult to get EN-
ployes who are in every respect reIi
able and efficient
1t is clear from what has been sal,
that the Legislature at its next ses
sion will have to give the institution
very careful nsideration, and that
too, with the understanding that i
Will have to provide a great deal NOR,
money for its maintenance. If tn,
truth were known it would probabl,
appear that 100000 could be profit
ably spent upon the buildings. If tn,
people are profoundly in earnest il
wanting the Institution brought up t,
a much higher standard they must ge
ready to bear the expense. They cal
do this by insisting upon proper val
uation of their property for taxinj
| purposes.

In the matter Of water-poWer sites
very seriius legal question is invilved.
1t is quite possible that Secretary Bal
linger may be right in his view of the
law in the matter, but that does not
pacify the people of the Rocky Noun
tain country, who believe that the sec
rotary of the Interior is acting in the
interests of the land thieves and water
thieves who have gobbled up for them
selves the choicest parts of the public
domain as it was opened for settlers.
President Roosevelt believed in act
ing first and making law, if necessary,
to sustain the action afterWard. He
checkmated the corporations looking
to secure water-power sites by with
drawing large tracts of public land
from entry and at the same time is
said to have put a spoke in the wheels
of fertilizer trust which hoped to
secure a large deposit of the rock
which can be ground up into fertilizer.
Secretary Ballinger has reopened
much of this land for entry, on the
ground that there was no law to sup
port President ROOsevelt's action. The
people of Washington. Mr.. Ballingers
State, do not sustain the Secretary
Their position seems to be that il
there is no law to sustain a President
in right action so much the worst
for the law, SO long as his course
made for the square deal they want
it maintained, and they are thus be-
hind Clifford Pinchot and against Bal
linger in the first serious breach
which has come up in the Taft adj
ministration. The effect of their atti-
tude on the next Congressional cleo
ton and on the next demand for tariff

titles which politicians are watching
most closely.

HARRIMAN'S EXCESSIVE

Those who object to the excessive
pace of the American business man
his disposition to accomplish great
results without regard for the limits
of the animal machine-find text in
the present condition of Mr.. f. H.
Hartman, the railroad magnate, who
is now returning in an enfeebled state
on the Kaiser Wilhelm II after treat
ment at Bad Caster. His physician
states that he is suffering from re-
suits of overwork" He comes home
for an "afterrcure" of rest at the mag
nificent palace he is building at Alden
hoping that home food will enable him
to regain the 10 pounds of weight lost
while he was under treatment. His
diet is carefully prescribed, as might
| be expected in the case of a man who
| is run down" and suffers from rheu-
matism of the back Notwithstanding
| his prolonged course of massage. Ner-
| vous prostration, with its attendant
| ills, seems, in short, to have arrested
| the activities of this most remarkable
man. His career has been rhetoric
From an obscure broker he became
speedily the president and financier OF
vast aggregations of railway mileage
accomplishing feats that exceed in
brilliancy and magnitude anything ev-
er attempted by his predecessors.

The demand for automobiles, which
was never checked by the business de-
preston of the past twelve months, is
rapidly increasing Five hundred ma
chimes day are being turned out by
the factories in this country and sold
as rapidly as they are ready for de-
livery. In Europe the demand is al
most as active as in this country, al
though people of moderate or small
means have not gone into the extrav-
agance of such pleasures as in the
United States After this fall it is
expected that the demand will exceed
the supply even with new factories
now at work turning out machines of
the most improved types at much low
er figures than in former years.

While cotton is looking up wool is
also making good. Last week is de-

ever witnessed Estimates of the total

pounds. The worsted and WOODEN
mills o. the country have orders far
ahePd of production. For the next two
years at least, experts predict, wool
will command ready sale at good
prices.

Many highly complimentary things
are being said about the newly ap-
pointed Railway Commissioner, Gray.
of Savannah, but beneath the general
acknowledgement of his eminent fit
ness for the position there is a ap-
parent belief that he should not retain
the conflicting duties as secretary of
Chamber of Commerce. whose bust
ness it is to make cases before the
commission. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Gray can see his way clear to
serve the state rather than the trade
people. If so he will prove a very
valuable official and one whose knowl-
edge of existing conditions, fairness to
all interests, and general progressive
spirit cannot be called into question
