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
'oyerdressed women in the courtroom
and the curiosity of fashionable idlers of
both sexes who sought to crafty their
morbid curiosity by watching a fellow
creature on trial for his life" are con
demned as derogatory to British judicial
tradition. 1T behooves US, says the
Saturday Re1ie5U. 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 amin j in the zoo, " that
would seem to Americans a 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

Many Automobiles Used.

An offended inquiry has shown that
theTe re upward Of 400. 600 automobiles
in the United States, approximately
valued at IS 900, ooo, 600. Ii is estimated
that one-hali this vast sum is invested in
auto vehicles tor commercial purposes
and actual utility to replace the work OF
horses, but that other $500, oOo. coo 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 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
4 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 I.5oo
homes. In Wisconsin the mortgages on
autos and other property for the purchase
price are estimated at $1,000, 600 Ne
braska has s.. 900. 900 in mortgages based
on auto purchases; in Kansas the esti-
mate is 81 900, 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 10 buy
automobiles. In Wyoming only { 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 accommodation 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 il 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.

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 al tasks beneficial TO the common
wealth. True, they were in sewers and
bitches, but they were doing honest and
helpful work
'If 1000 American university graduates
had landed at that wharf instead of these
men then believe the immigration prob
lem would be a 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 reflection on what is
known as the higher education. It 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 in any country is very small COM
pared with that OF laborers, and the edu
Gated men in their place are as necessary
as the illltcrate laborers in theirs. -MeU

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 James whom
Lowell said was the best talSer of his day.
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 by
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
maging 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
il 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 edlfcation than
he. Nobody else gave quite so many
ideas to the page as he.-Ha,pey's

has the biggest corn crop in its history.
Dry weather has injured crops in parts OF
Illinois and Wisconsin, but The yield will
not fall far below the average.
The apple crop in the Central West is
poor. Iowa reports bumper oats and corn
Yields. North Dakota and parts of South
Dakota have suffered greatly and the
North Dakota yield will be only about
half of normal. Minnesota crops have
been good, except hay Nebraska has
big corn crop but wheat is rather light.
Missouri and Kansas are both prosperous.
Oklahoma is short on corn. but long on
wheat. Sugar beets and fruits have made
Colorado growers happy and contented.
The Pacific Northwest has bumper
apple yield, but the wheat crop is light in
some States California oranges and
some other fruits show a considerable
drop. Southern corn-growing States re-
port unprecedented yields. Texas and
Louisiana report excellent crops. Geor-
gia crops are fair. The cotton crop in
many sections Of the South depends to a
great extent on late frost.

Tombs Of Two English Kings.

NJ. l.ucien Magne, the inspector general
OF historical monuments OF France. has
recently made a discovery that will be
Of immense interest to antiQuarians and
to students Of history. In the course of
his researches in the ancient abbey of Fon-
tevrault he discovered the tombs of two
kings OF England-Henry H. and Richard
/. The abbey itself Is rich in historical
associations. 1t is a fine example of
twelfth century architecture. Founded
toward the end Of the eleventh century by
the celebrated preacher. Robert of Ar
brissel, 1t consisted of nunnery for vir-
gins and widows, magdeleneum, hos
pital for lepers and other afflicted mortals,
a convent and church. 1t ultimately
numbered 81 prioues divided into the
four provinces of France Aguitaine. Au-
verghe and Brittany. So renowned did
Fontevrault become that it was almost
traditional to send the princesses Of the
blood royal OF France there for their edu-
cation. 1t led vigorous existence until
Its conhscatlon in the great cataclysm OF
the French revolution.
When Eleanor of Aquitaine, disguised
at the repeated nhdelities Of her husband.
Henry H., and, above all, By the parti-
atty which he displayed for Fair Rosa
mond, had succeeded in setting her sons
and their father by the ears, she was
thrown into prison by order of Henry.
and there languished for sixteen long
years. But she lived to triumph, for
when Henry. two days after the disgrace
full treaty of Colombieres, died cursing
the day on which he was born and the
sons he left behind him. she was imme-
diately released and ruled twice in Eng
land as regent for her son, Richard Occur
de Lion. On Richards return from Pal
estine she retired to Fontevrault. and
there at the age Of 81, she died and was
buried in the same tomb as her famous
son, who had predeceased her by FIVE
years. By the grim irony of fate Henry
had also been buried at Fontevrault.
1t would appear that former abbess in
rebuilding the cloister had closed I'D the
passage to the tombs. and thus they es-
capped being rifed in 1850, when the revo-
lutionists destroyed all the other royal
monuments. Washington Post
