British Justice.

Americans have regarded the Crippen
trial as model of criminal court proceed
ure The dignity and dispatch with
which it was conducted before the Crowns
highest judicial officer, the consideration
shown for the prisoners rights and the
unbiased examination of the evidence on
which the verdict was reached made it
appear a perfect example of swift and
effective justice.
1t is therefore surprising to find the
trial arrangements the subject of criticism
in the London press. The presence of
"overdressed women in the courtroom
and the curiosity of fashionable idlers of
both sexes who sought to CRAFTY their
morbid curiosity by watching fellow
creature on trial for his life" are con
demned as derogatory to British judicial
tradition. 1T behooves us, says the
Saturday Re0iedO ito take care that we
neither do for nor suffer anything which
may sully the reputation of English JUS
tice," and other journals condemn the
tendencies manifested at the trial.
As to whether courtroom crowd was
over or under dressed and whether or not
spectators 'peered at the prisoner as they
might at Gagged animal in the zoo, " that
would seem TO Americans minor matter
in view Of the main fact. the swift and
| orderly administration of justice. That
the English should find cause for serious
concern in it may be taken as another
manifestation of that jealous regard for
the purity of their court procedure which
has kept British justice" unsullied. y

William James.

There must be something that is pretty
good for the faculties in the Swedenbor-
gian variety of the Christian religion.
That sect has never been greatly extend
ed, and is, we suppose, a warning society.
But some men OF very valuable quality
have been bred in it. One was Charles
A. Dana. Another is John Bigelow.
Another was that Henry lanes whom
Lowell said was the best talker of his dav
and who was the father of Henry lanes
the psychological novelist, and Of Prof
William James, who has just died. Swe
denborg had visions, and was not in the
least afraid to think, talk and write about
things out of mans ordinary ken. Some
OF the same gift seem to be inherited bv
his spiritual children. Probably neither
OF the two sons OF Henry James the elder
was Swedenborgian, but they both had
visions. Henry has always been rum
maglng in the back parts of peoples
heads and trying to measure and weigh
their souls. William was never afraid of
the intangible, but weighed and measured
IT even more literally than his brother
Henry.
Very lately Professor lanes went on
the retired list of Harvard College in
order to have more time to devote to
writing. We wish he had been longer
spared to that employment No Ameri-
can writer wrote more to edlfication than
he. Nobody else gave quite so many
IDEAS to the page as he.-Ha,pe,'s

Illiteracy and Education.

A writer in Chicago paper makes this
statement:
There landed in New York the other
day 1000 immigrants Within a short
time, number of hours. all were en-
ployed at tasks beneficial to the common
wealth. True, they were in sewers and
bitches, but they were doing honest and
helpful work.
If7.ooo American university graduates
had landed at that wharf instead of these
men then believe the immigration prob
lem would be much more serious one
than it is. The university graduates
would be looking for something to do;
they would want to work with their heads.
and there are too many of us doing that
already"
This matter seems to be proposed in
order to cast a reflection on what is
known as the higher education. II is ex-
tremely doubtful if 1000 laborers from
foreign country ever landed or ever NAV
land at one time in this country from an
emigrant ship and walk at once into
places where they can earn wages. 1t is
scarcely possible that 1000 university
graduates could be found and gathered
together, each having only the few dol
lars required to allow them to land. to be
brought to the United States at one time
to seek for work Such conditions could
never occur, and therefore the statement
OF the case as given above is absurd and
foolish The number of university gradu-
ates III any country is very small COM
pared with that OF laborers, and the edu
Gated men in their place are as necessary
as the illiterate laborers in theirs. -Mew

Many Automobiles Used.

An extended inquiry has shown that
there IRE upward of 4oo, 600 automobiles
in the United States, approximately
| valued at Sc 600, ooo, 600. 1t is estimated
that one-hali this vast sum is invested in
auto vehicles for commercial purposes
and actual utility to replace the work of
horses, but that other $500, 600, 600 is in
vested in autos for pleasure, outdoor
sport and luxurious living.
The inquiry covering a period of five
years, shows tremendous growth in the
automobile industry. 1t also shows that
there Is a desire on the part of a great
number of persons to own automobiles
even at the expense of their homes.
In the Middle West Far West. and
parts of the South the inquiry shows that
large percentage OF automobiles have
been purchased by people upon mort
cages given on the vehicles or their
homes.
In Minneapolis, it is reported one auto
mobile firm holds mortgages on 1850
homes. In Wisconsin the mortgages on
autos and other property for the purchase
price are estimated at $1,000, 900. Ne
braska has s. 600, 900 in mortgages based
on auto purchases; in Kansas the esti-
mate is 81 ,ooo, 900 in the last three years.
The money tightness in Iowa is charged
to the same condition. In indianapolis
more than 1000 persons are reported to
have given mortgages recently TO buy
automobiles. In Wyoming only 5 per
cent OF auto purchasers are represented
by mortgages. but it is reported that Is
per cent of the purchasers are persons
who cannot afford the luxury.
In the East the reports indicate that
there are fewer mortgages. and in thrifty
New England the custom does not appear
in the records. From the Western and
Southwestern sections and in some parts
OF the East the reports show that the
bankers and other financial interests are
refusing accommodations to borrowers
for the purpose ofpurchasing automobiles.
A bank officer in Newark said that the
savings banks have been losing deposits
from automobile purchasers. In one of
the suburban districts OF New York it is
reported there has not been a single
transfer OF house property in four months,
which is attributed TO the heavy purchases
of autos in that section.

Not Affected by Census.

Maryland is not in the slightest danger
of losing any of its representation in Con-
gress through the readjustment of mem
bership upon the showing of the census
of 1910.
All six members will be retained, even
if the ratio goes as high as one member
for every $4,000 inhabitants. Calcula
tons show that this could not occur,
single inhabitant in the decade. But it is
regarded as certain that a substantial in
crease in population will be shown.
The population of Maryland in 1900 was
I.ISS,o44 Baltimore is given 55S,4S5 in
habitants, gain Of 49, 52S in the decade,
or 81 per cent. The percentage OF in
crease in the whole State will hardly be
less than that of Baltimore. That rate OF
increase would give Maryland popula-
ton OF not less than 1903, 2S4.
II the ratio of representation should be
$4,000, Maryland, in order to hold her
own, would have to show population OF
1897. 500. This figure is only 4e,45t
greater than that of the State in 1900
The increase in Baltimore alone amounts
to 4o528. In order to gain one seat in
Congress, at the 225,ooo rate, Maryland
would have to show 1902, 500 population
gain of 274456.
Reasons are growing stronger daily fol
believing 225,ooo is higher ratio of rep
resentation than Congress will take a:
under that ratio Maine, Indiana, Iowa anC
Missouri would lose one seat each, Okla
homa would gain two and Massachusetts.
and Alabama one. The first four state.
