 the railroading process? We know that there Is frequently much delay in the trial of those charged with crime, and we also know that one of the excuses made for iynchings Is that there is too much time required to try a prisoner; In other words, those who resort to mob law claim that 1t is. the only way to, deal out such speedy justice as they say should be visited on some criminals. While this does not justify lynching, 1t is used as Justification in many cases. and Is a strong argument in favor of more speedy trials. At the same time, we doubt the propriety of over-hurry. The Oregon thieves plead guilty. it is true, and hence there was no need of trial or delay. but 1t does seem as if they were given a short shrift.

QUICK JUSTICE.

Much has been said and written about the delay In court proceedings and in this day of long drawn out trials, both civil and criminal, quite a contrast is presented by a recent case tried in Oregon, of which a con temporary tells us. Tt appears" 1t says. that the two stole a street car. after robbing the conductor and the motorman. Here is the chronological account of their experiences closely following the robbery and the theft of the car which took place at 11:30 o'clock at night: One of them was arrested at 1 o'clock, and the other was captured at 2;45 a. m. they were arraigned at 1O:SO, and indicted at , p. m. pleaded guilty and were sem tenced at 3:SO, the one to twelve years, and the other to fifteen years. in the penitentiary; left the court room at 4:15 to begin their terms of Imprisonment"
 This was certainly railroadins men to prison. and it recalls a case up in Randolph county In the sos. In that case a man stole a COW on Sat urday and was arestcd as he was driv- ing her of. The Circuit Court. as it happened. met on Monday following, and the man was indicted. tried con victed and sentenced during the week. and was started to the penitentiary on Monday after. While this case did not approach the Oregon incident, 1t was nevertheless an unusual example of speedy justice. Time and circum- stances combined to prevent any de- lay, and expedite the wheels of jus tice. and as there was no doubt of the guilt of the party there were no grounds for delay It may be, too. that inasmuch as the man was too poor to employ counsel and pay the expenses of a new trial, or an appeal to higher court. there was nothing to clog the wheels of justice in hls case
 But. taking the Oregon incident as an example Is there not danger that in justice might sometimes be done bS

 It has been found that sixty-two members of the House of Lords who voted against the licensing bill are owners of stock in brewing companies. And the investigation Is not complete: For only forty or fifty companies of 200 were examined. What the lists of the unexamined companies show
 is not yet known. In addition, there are many holders of debentures, whose names would not appear on the lists of shareholders. It is said that there are at least 140 peers who own more than 12,000,0 900 of brewry stock. The sixty-two peers who voted against the bill, of course, voted as the saying Is, for their own pockets. Now this will seem very discreditable to many Am erican citizens. But these hould re- member that we have something of the same sort of business in this country.

CLEvELAND's GOLDEN RULE.
Excellent Results of a Years Trial of
 Police Leniency.

FOlhce Aeniency.
 Cleveland Plain Dealer
 Chief of Police KohIer has nrenared some interesting statistics to show the working of his golden rule" policy. During the past year the Cleveland police have refrained from arrestine in- toXicated persons, unless absolutely no other means appeared to prevent them from coming to harm or harming oth- CTS. First offenders caught In petty misdemeanors have been allowed to go free with no punishment other than re- primand and warning by the officers The result has been that in place of 3O,41S arrests of 1907. only 1O,0s5 per- sons were arrested in 1908
 The chief argues from these figures that the new policy has saved the city material expense and has saved betty offenders and their families from need less suffering. He states in positive terms that no one has been a loser through the innovation. that crime Is no more prevalent because of police leniency. that the police, not having to worry contsantly over small things. have more time and energy for the hunting down of dangerous criminals. While there were more than three times as many arrests in 1907 as in 1908, there were 938 arrests for felonies in 1908. as against 1000 in 1907. In other words. the former year showed 20,333 more ar rests for all causes, but only sixty-two more arrests for felonies.. Chief Kohl CTS argument is that this vast discre- pancy shows that the police are really much more useful to the community now than ever hefore.
 Incidentally. the chief condemns the practice of issuing warrants by police prosecutors on the evidence of but one party. over sixty eight per cent of such arrests, for which the police were in no sense responsible, but which are included in the totals. resulted in police court trials and the dismissal of the defendants. The chief propounds the doctrine that prosecutors should not issue warrants without first hearing from both sides.
 On the whole, Chief Kohler deserves congratulation upon tho working out of his system Undoubtedly 1t possesses many of the merits which he claims for 1t. It has been noted and watched all over the United States, and has In a more or less modified form. been adopt ed in some cities.

SPENDING THE MONEY.

The amount of money expended by the government on the so-called secret service is far greater than any, except those directly interested, were aware of The appropriation act specifically limits the use of the money to partic- ular cases and one law absolutely prohibits the employment of members of detective agencies. Both these provisions have been utterly ignored and the President has been by no manner of means the least bIamabIe in the premises. The guards at the White House have been paid out of the secret service fund and member of Congress in the last few days made the statement that every time they were paid perjury had to be conn mitted in order to draw their pay. Of course guards should be on duty at the White House. but it ought not to be necessary for the chief of the ser- vice to violate the law every month for their benefit. There ought to be a specific sum and way for their nav. It seems that the detectives employed in the Brownsville matter were paid from an appropriation of ss,OoO, 900 to be used in connection with contingen- cies arising during or out of the Span- ish-Ameriean war. It is long stretch of the law that permits of the use of that fund for paying ordi- nary detective expenses. The whole thing is a nasty mess

DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE
 CURED.

While the electoral votes were all cast on the 18th inst, for Taft or Bryan, the majority for Taft, yet there will be no formal declaration of the result. until the United States Senate and House of Representatives meet next month and inform the country who has been elected Presi- dent. That MT. Taft is the choice of the people has been clearly ascertained and if he lives until the 4th of March he will become President Between now and then something might hap pen, which would throw the country into great confusion. There is no pro- vision for supplying the place of a man elected President. in case he can- not take the position. Such a con-. tingency has never arisen but 1t is not wise to go on the idea that it never will. The new York Evening Post in commenting on this matter says:
 AO WHut pcihS tHO COuntTy Wdb exposed by the. uncertainty of the old statute. the. nation dicover- ed with a shudder In 1876. But sssn the new Ssta act of dssI passed after ambiguities and~ silences. Tn an eiec- ton of which the result was close and contested, the opportunities for framing objections to electoral cer- tihcates. before one or other of the houses of Congress, would be, as the late Senator Morgan asserted, "as nu- tion, the cupidity, the fraud, and the skill of wicked men to invent" The Consultation omits to provide for the Presidential succession. in case the auguration. Such contingency mas never presented itself, and never may yet the awkwardness and danger would be so great if 1t did, that a member of the House has introduced a constitutional amendment, to cure the defect.

 Why does not President-eiect Taft manifest his good faith in advocating the abolition of sectional politics by beginning his missionary work wifh the solid North?" Reform, like char ity. should begin at home.
 Let him begin by inducing the North ern States to select statesmen and pa triots for the national councils for their ability as representatives of the people as the Solid South" does, instead of sending the millionaires and trust tools with. which the United States Senate fs being rapidly filled up from that sec ton? Let him make war on the Aid. riches, the Penroses, the Duponts, the Depews the-P1atts and all of that sort who as representatives of special in- terests occupy the seats intended for the representatives of the people and who convert the legislative halls into mart for money changers
 Fresident-eiect Taft knows how to wage war on men of this class---wilen he has an object. He crushed Foraker with ease because of his trust connec- tions, for which he is due especial grat- itude from the Solid South !" But Foraker was directly fin his path and his destruction was essential to Judge Taft's supremacy.
