the results of failure to use the motor

of the decision Of the court below in
this case was purely technical, none
of the merits of the case were touched.
1t is not contended that the verdict
was wrong, but merely that it was not
handed in to the court exactly ac-
cording to the forms of legal pro-
cedure 1t looks as if the court of APP
-peals, could very reasonably have per-
mitted the verdict of the jury to stand,
and still have done no violence of
consequence to legal procedure. How
ever, they have decided otherwise and
that settles the matter at least so far
as this particular case is concerned
However, the precedent set is a dan
gerous one, and it is to be hoped that
our higher courts won't find it neces-
sary hereafter to place such strict
legal construction on the technicalit-

CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENT.
washington Post.

President Taft and Senator Money
gave utterance to a manifest condition
when they spoke of further consolida-
ton of power in the hands of the Fed
eral establishment, and ere the thing
ends the British constitution and the
American Constitution will be identi-
cal for all practical purposes of gov
eminent.
When Thomas Jefferson neglected
the advice of his kinsman and then
friend and supporter, John Randolph
of Roanoke, John Marshall was left
undisturbed to vitalize his idea that in
a controversy between the Federal
government and a State the former
was the arbiter That was consolida-
ton; it changed the republic into a
nation, until, century later, that is
become law and that is determined
constitutional which the government
at Washington DEGREES to be such.
There was an irrepressible conflict be-
decision in the Dartmouth case, and
the idea of jefferson was obscured
and obliterated Yet the bred Scott
decision was disputed, defied, and null
lifted at the North; but since millions
of men sprang to arms at the call of
an American President to coerce elev-
en- sovereign States to resume their al
legiance to the Union there has been
no successful attempt to stem the cur
rent that is bearing all political power
to Washington; and it will go on, and
on, until the autonomy of the States is
politically obliterated
Today the American system is what
ever Congress, the President, and the
Supreme Court agree that it is and it
has been that ever since John Mar
shall decided that the Supreme bench
is the final arbiter to say what is Of
Canaan and what is of Egypt in our
polity
The new corporation tax is nothing
but a manifestation of the trend OF
things. The power to tax is the power
to destroy, and the power to regulate
is an attribute of supremest sover-
eighty.
Talk of amending the Constitution
Where is any Constitution left to
amend? We have come to the British
system. Dual government is merely
history.

WHY COURTS EARN CONTEMPT
washington Post.)

Two events within the week past
have demonstrated again the urgent
necessity for thorough reform of Am
erican court methods if they are to be
saved from public contempt In Ten
nessee the learned judges of the APP
pellate court held hairsplitting fest,
and after reveling in a maze of tech
nicalities without once touching the
real merits of the case, they turned
loose upon the community the con-
victed night-riding murderers of east
ern Tennessee. Some error of proce-
dure in the trial was alleged, and it
was of such doubtful character that
the court was almost evenly divided.
The merits of the case, the value of
the evidence, the justice of the verdict
and the sentence were not touched up
on. 1t was victory for legal red tape
which sets free the convicted perpe-
traitors of one of the most cold blood
| ed murders recorded in the South. 1t
practically amounts to an acquittal,
! for the State cannot get it's witnesses
for another trial
Such ruling puts premium upon
| lawlessness, for there was little or no
question that these men were guilty.
It amounts to denial of justice and
j it makes one understand the popularity
of lynching where there is any danger
of an appeal to the mystifying techni-
calities so dear to the lawyers heart.
| Of course, the judges whose mental
vision is obscured by the oyernice re-
| finements of the law are sincere, for
the quality of manhood on the Ameri-
can bench is high and its integrity UNI
challenged, but they are simply the
victims of a vicious system which
loudly calls for reform.
Another instance of ridiculous hair
splitting occurred in Missouri, where
a convicted bribe-taker was given a
new trial by wise judge because the
indictment omitted the word the" be-
l fore State" 1t sounded almost too
improbable for even comic opera, yet
| it happened in this year of grace in
Missouri. 1t is such practices that
are robbing the courts of the conf
dence and respect of the people, and

PITTYPAT AND TIPPYTOE.

All day long they come and go
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
Footprints up and down the hall,
Playthings scattered on the floor,
Fingermarks along the wall,
Telltale streaks upon the floor
By these presents you shall know
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
How they riot at their play!
And dozen times a day,
In they troop, demanding bread
Only buttered bread will do,
And that butter must be spread
Inches thick with sugar, too;
Never yet have l said: mo,
Pittypat and Tippytoe.'
Sometimes there are griefs to soothe
Sometimes rufied brOws to smooth;
For | much regret to say
Tippytoe and Pittypat
Sometimes interrupt their play
With an internecine spat::
File! oh fie! to quarrel so,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
Oh, the thousand worrying things
Every day recurrent brings!
Hands to scrub and hair TO brush,
Search for playthings gone amiss
Many a murmuring to hush
Many little bump to kiss;
Life's indeed a 1eeting show,
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
And when day is at an end,
There are little buds to mend;
Little frocks are strangely torn,
Little shoes great holes reveal,
| Little hose, but one day worn,
! Rudely yaWn at toe or heel!
Who but you could work such woe,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
But when comes this thought to me
Some there are that childless be"
Stealing to their little beds,
With love | cannot speak,
| Tenderly | stroke their heads,
Fondly kiss each velvet cheek,
God help those who do not know
A Pittypat or Tippytoe!
On the floor, along the hall
Rudely traced upon the wall,
There are proofs in every kind
Of the havoc they have wrought
And upon my heart you'd find
Just such trademarks if you
sought
Oh how glad I am it's so,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!

in democracy, particularly, the
courts must be beyond suspicion
The danger in the situation has been
recognized by the American Bar AS
sociation, and with the aid of some of
the ablest lawyers in the country a
movement has been started for radical
reform in court methods. The matter
has been brought by the association
before a number of the State legisla-
lures, but so far with somewhat indif-
ferent success. 1t is, however, a cam
paign of education, and will be kept
up until people are aroused suffici-

procedure of the courts be brought up

tricacies of legal technicalities.

REGARDED AS SIGNIFICANT.
New Orleans States.

In view of the fact that the new free
independence Day has for it's leaders
men who are conspicuously able and
prominent as publicists, educatorS
and financiers, not a few of the infilf~
entail newspapers of the country re-
gard it as a significant move They
are recalling the fact that the anti
men who were held to be impracti-
cably visionary and fanatical, but at
the time the abolitionists made their
appearance in the political arena both
the Democratic party and the Wing
party We're pro-slavery. There was
not room enough in the country, how
ever, for more than one proslavery
party and after the presidential cleo
| ton of 1852 the Wing party ceased to
exist
Two years later the Republican par
ty was born because the way for it
had been cleared by the antislavery
movement. 1t is true that the Repub-
lican leaders of that time claimed that
the purpose of their party was not to
abolish slavery in the States, but to
prevent it's spread to the Territories,
| yet the antislavery sentiment in the
North and West grew with such rap
idity that in 1862 the Republican party
was swept bodily into the camp of the
Abolitionists. In this connection the
Washington Post says:
Just as Wing and Democrat
were both proslavery in 1852 so
in 1909 Republican and Democrat
are both protectionist. True, the
Democrat calls. it tariff for rev.
enue,' but he repudiates the word
only and for any practical pur-
pose there is no opposition in
Congress to the finance committee
of the Senate and the ways and
means committee of the House
Senator Aldrich will have much i
| less trouble trimming the tariff to
suit his views than Senator Doug
las had repeating the Missouri
compromise"
From very small beginning the
abolition movement developed into a
force sufficient to precipitate one of
| the greatest wars the world had ever
known and which resulted in the over
throw of the institution of slavery.
! hence those who have in mind the
facts of history are inclined to believe
that the free trade movement started
last week may become a tremendous
political force in the course of a few
years. There is general recognition
of the fact that conditions are ripe for
the appearance of a new political
party and a realignment of forces, but
whether the free trade movement will
be able to crystalize the disaffection
and discomfort which exist among the
people is a matter to be determined
only by future events.

YANKEE LUCK.
Washington Post.)

Now comes the report from Luzon
Philippine archipelago, that discover.
les of gold-bearing ore have beer
made that promise great richness
Press dispatches state that some Of
tie assays run as high as $4,000 to
the ton. A year ago it was announced
that great coal deposits underlie q
good portion of some of those islands
and that in case the supply over here
is exhausted, as is feared by the ex-
perts, the world may warm itself fol
a considerable term of years on the
product of our Far Eastern pos.
session.
All of which calls to mind the re-
markable luck of Uncle Sam in acquir-
ing territory that produces mineral
that is the envy of the world. Alaska
the despised, is sending out gold en-.
ough every year to pay for herself
Copper mines of untold wealth have
been discovered there, and a railroad
is being built inland from Seward tt
tap them.
Still back of this the United States
acquired from Mexico the Gadsder
purchase, vast stretch of apparently
worthless land That strip of it across
Arizona and New Mexico was Ions
known as the land that God forgot.
Yet American prospectors went into
it, and at first opened up gold and sill
yer mines that paid prodigiously. Still
later attention was turned to the cop
per deposits in that region, and sucl
busy towns as Bisbee sprang up along
the frontier, supported entirely by the
copper mines.
Recently Arizona has taken hel
place as the greatest copper-produc
in" Commonwealth in the Union, an(
that region lying about her southern
border has come to be known as ths
greatest copper-producing belt in thu
world. Michigan and Montana have
been relegated to second and thirt
place, and the cactus-covered South
west has been given the palm.
Truly it seems that wherever thu
Yankee sticks his pick in the grount
he turns up fortune.

To blossom in my heart.

THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF

in any specious criticism of that body,
but we feel that it made mistake,
when it set aside the verdict of a
jury, merely because the jury dis
persed when it had agreed on verdict
of guilty in a criminal case. This may
have been an infringement of legal
procedure, but certainly nobody could
be injured by it. There was no pos
