a COMPARISON AND A CONTRAST.

On the 18th OF last June Mrs
StreIght killed her husband in Nc
GregJr, Texas. Saturday her first tria
ended, the jury bringing in verde
of life Imprisonment. A motion for Z
new trial was made, and If granted OF
some technically, as is usual In such
cases, Il viii probably be months be
fore the SECOND trial. and If the yer
dict is the same an appeal to the
higher court will be taken. with the
probability of indefinite delay.
About month after Mrs. Streights
crime DR.. Crippen murdered his wife
In London. His case has gone through
the regular process of all the courls,
with the result that he viii be ex-
ecuted tomorrow.
These two cases present striking
similarity and an equally striking con-
trast4 The motive of the crime N both
was the same--to get rid OF a lawful
spouse In order to crafty an Illicit
passion. The contrast Is in the court
procedure in England and in America
Nobody denies that DR.. Crippep has
had fair trial or claims that his con
viction and execution are the results
OF prejudice or passion. Mrs. Streight's
guilt is equally plain and generally
admitted Why, then. has not retFibu-
tive justice been melted out to her with
equal promptitude? The difference Is
in the laws and precedents OF the
courts. For these defective laws aud
obstructive tactics the lawyers arv
chiefly responsible. But lawyers could
not thus pervert justice IL public opin.
Ton demanded that criminals be pun

sympathy for the murderer. 1t mani

more than the cunning and persuasive |
power of the lawyers. that causes |
juries to bring In verdicts that are not |
according to the law and the facts.
We need better lawyers. better courts,
better juries. but most of all. we need
higher appreciation of the value of |
human life and more respect for the
majesty of the law. If we had the best
legislatures. the best courts and the
best executive officers in the world,
they would be powerless to remedy the |
evil while public opinion is largely in

At the IL o'clock service the rector
preached on "The Holy Communion"
1.-THE holy communion was expressly
instituted by our Lord In remembrance
OF Himself. who has come to be the
great sacrifice. and it has continued
ever since to be the great central act
|of worship of Gods people. 1t Is alb
solutely the only act of divine worship
which Christ ordained in His church.
To attend the prayers" is one of the
characteristic marks OF churchmanship,
but this is not enough. To attend the
holy communion is another mark OF
discipleship. the only act of nublic
worship which Jesus has expressly en-
Joined upon us. The prayers" the

GUILD HITS
AT MORGAN

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
BOSTON, Feb. l2-"It was time to hit
Morgan. We have been bcrating the New
Haven road long enough for aggressions
in Massachusetts. thought it my place
TO strike straight at the man who is re-
sponsible."
This is the statement Of former Cover
nor Guild Of Massachusetts to-day in ex-
PLANTATION Of a scorching editorial attack
on J. p. Morgan, which appeared to-day
in the Commercial Bulletin Of Boston and
in which the description Of Morgan as a
''beefy, red faced, thick necked financial
bully, drunk with wealth and power" has
stirred Boston political and financial cir
cles.
Referring to a statement in his editorial
that "If Mr. Morgan forces Massachusetts
TO choose between Socialism and Industrial
slavery there will be no question Of the
result" Guild declared that his attack on
the financier was in fact a part of the In
lsurgent movement now extending through
out the nation and intimated strongly that
while that movement was at present un-
organized he had little doubt that it would
in time develop into people rights
propaganda of national scope which
when the people should be sufficient goad-
ed by the capitalists, would solve the
problem of their activities once and fol-

TO COLLEGE FREE IF THEY
CUT DRINK AND TOBACCO

BOSTON, Feb. 19.-Any Christian
young man in Idaho or North Dakota
can now obtain a college education free
by agreeing never. so long as he lives,
TO touch "A drop of Intoxicating liquor.
tobacco in any form. or other mar
cotics"
This premium on abstemious living
Is provided by the viii of Charles Bots
ford Boston merchant which was
filed for probate. Mr. Botsford left
more than 100000, and after making
several minor charitable bequests his
will orders that the residue of the
estate shall go to educate the youth OF
Idaho and North Dakota who will sign
the pledge stipulated.
In life Mr.. Botsford was a strong adj
vocate of the prohibition cause. That
coupled with the fact that a part Of his
/ life had been spent in the Northwest
explains his will. The minor beauests
are also principally for the benefit Of
temperance movements.
The North Dakotans will be educated
l at the Fargo College and the Idaho
youth win have their courses paid for
at the Idaho Industrial Institute.
