The Information Bureau.

In the great department store of the

that have no special organization for
answering the questions of visiting
shoppers there is always some one
upon whom the management relies
some one with all the ms and outs of

satisfy the demands of those who
want to know" But the public is in
terested in a lot of things connected
with merchandising that it never
thinks of bothering the information
bureaus about.
The arrival of fresh stock, the dis
play of an out-of-the-ordinary garment
or fabric, the cutting of prices to clear
out discontinued lines, the offering of
a new product to meet a hitherto I'M
satisfied requirement-these and kind
red matters of concern to consumers
they expect to learn about not at first

English Judicial Dignity.

Much has been said about the meth
DDS of dispensing justice in England.
and invariably the comparison made is
TO the disadvantage of America. But
as TO conduct on the bench England
sets an example that this country will
not follow. All England is ringing with
protest against the judicial procedure
in the Crippen trial. or that part of 1t
which presented the spectacle of an
actress occupying the bench with the
learned judge before whom the muir
derer was fighting for his life.
Commenting on this spectacle, the
Des Moines Register and Leader says:
In view of the plea made by Pres
ident Taft in a letter to the trustees OF
Columbia law school on the dedication
of Kent hall few days ago, in which
he compared the methods Of some
American lawyers with members of
the profession in England and urged
reforms at home. contemplation of the
Crippen incident is instructive.
1.-The desperate remedies which
American lawyers seem willing to
adopt in saving their clients from de-
feat said President Taft in his letter,
find no counterpart in the practice of
their brother barristers in England
But the English press is filed with
criticism Of the judge who, in the Grip
pen case invited to sit with him an
actress in a musical comedy which, in
this country, might. mean anything
from light opera to burlesque, and. an

the London Times, bitterly complains
thus:S

while a man is being tried for his life
there should sit on the bench on the
right hand of the judge famous mu-
steal comedy actress? The lady is,
am sure, charming and delightful and
is as worthy of her position as any
others of her sex; but her name is
associated with lighter things of life
than murder trial, and her presence,

of the OCCASION
There is more in like spirit and es-
pecial reference is made to the fact
that the Crippen trial was not open to
the public, but admission was arrang-
ed BIZ ticket and the court room was
filled with women, says the barrister
correspondent, displaying enormous
hats and expensive furs. women chat
ting and exchanging smiles even while
the prisoner was awaiting the verdict
of the jury"
Comparisons, in themselves always
odious, may be the vehicle of misinfor-
nation, if not of injustice. That Eng
lish murder trials may be attended
through tickets of admission and fur
nish attractions for theatre parties,
while actresses are invited to sit with
the presiding judges, may not be de-
Tense for the delays in American court
procedure, against which President
Taft protests, but it tends to discount
the force of the example set for the
