BILE killed a fleeing neighbor charged
only with a misdeneanor. In ST. Louis
policeman shot at man in an alley
whom he charged with the heinous
crime of drinking beer from can, and
the bullet hit man who was merely
passing by.
Shooting to kill should not be per-
Missile except in seIf-defence or in
the case of escaping convicted man.
A man simply charged with crime is,
under the law, held guiltless until
proven otherwise. To flee from an ar
resting officer is almost natural in
stinct, especially with the ignorant,
and is not presumptive evidence OF
guilt. To permit officers to shoot flee
ing unconvicted persons is to make the
officer judge, jury and executioner.
To permit the killing of fugitive

cANADA's ANTLsrRikE LAW
LESSON FOR THIS COUNTRY
I-eslie's.

Leslie's.
Friendly settlements OF labor dis
putes involving $1,000 workmen and
effecting saving In wages alone OF
more than $3,500.0 900 are evidence that
the Canadian industrial disputes act
works. The act provides that it shall
be Illegal for employees of public
utility or a mine to strike or for the
employers to order lockout until the
issue involved shall have been inyes-
tigated by board, on which each oil
the disputant bodies shall have rep
lresentative and which shall be head
led by an impartial third. Should the
board fail to effect an amicable set
Element, 1t at once makes public re-
port, in which the issues are made
known in plain language. After that
they may strike II they wish. In those
stubborn cases where an agreement
| ID difficult to reach, public opinion Is
relied upon to compel an equitable set
Element. In this respect the Canadian
law differs from the compulsory arbi-
| tration of New Zealand, where the
| findings of the arbiters are enforce
able at law. Without this compulsory
feature. however, the Canadian meth
oil works admirably, for in seventy
four of the eighty eases thus far, or
| 90 per cent, the workingmen were
agreeable to accepting the findings OF
the board and did not strike afterward,
though at perfect liberty to do so. AT
present the act aplies only to indus
tries in the nature OF public utilities
railways. telegraphs, telephones,
mines, etc.-but so unpopular has it
become with both labor and capital
that it is now proposed to extend 1t
to other Industries.
! How long shall we have to wait be-
fore our own country grapples the
strike evil and adopts some such meth
cd of dealing with It? Under a law
similar to the Canadian act, the great
Philadelphia street car strike would
have been practically impossible. That
strike served to embitter the feelings
OF each class toward the other, 1t
put great city and its environs to
general spirit of lawlessness, it result
ed in injuries to hundreds of people
and death to scores In addition to
this, the traction strikers lost in wages

UNIQUE LAKES IN MEXICO.

The mere words crater lake" carry
with them charm and mystery that
are akin to romance. But Mexico,
with all her romance, has never given
abroad any description of some OF
the most beautiful crater lakes in the
world. Vale de Santiago, a little
town of the State of Guanajuato,
boasts four of the most perfect and
beautiful of such lakes.
The village nestles among e'even
craters. all formed in some past age
by sudden explosions from the interior
of the earth, explosions that blew out
a great amount of earth, formed low
cones and subsidized without flaw of
lava or other demonstration than the
single explosion They are what are
known to science as explosion crat.

La Alberca is one of the lowest OF
the craters, and on one side portion
Of the crater wall has fallen away, SO
that the approach Is very easy. A
short climb, and as one rises over the
edge one of the most beautiful views
in Mexico is spread out. Half mile
across is the low line of the crater
wall, and down below 1t is the green

IThese walls, which rise nearly one
hundred feet above the surface of the
lake, are part of the native rock

on every side. The columns OF basalI
give truly mountainous, almost AL
pine touch to the scene.
Climbing down the steep road to
opportunity to drink in real beauty
which here is more dignified and more
like the old world than almost any
thing in Mexico. The tropics are far
distant, and here, in the higher lands
verdure is calm and beauty a thing
of gentle touch.
The calm restfulness of the crater
lake is unlike anything in the world
One finds lakes and solitary pools
in forests or mountain Businesses, and
the calm there Is akin to witchery, but
they are stirred sometimes by passing
breezes, and the trees will wave about
in the wind. But in a crater lake
there is not breath that will stir 1t,
and even a stone cast into its bosom
creates ripples that seem as though
they would be swallowed ere they are
born. Peace is word without mean.

of such a crater. with such lake at
his feet,-Mexican Herald.
