Dullsd Personal Honor.

The predicament in which Adams
county, Ohio, finds itself as a result
Of years OF vote buying and selling has
its serious and comic sides, but the Sc
rious side is far the more conspicu-
Gus. II simply reveals a shocking
condition OF political morals. II any
thing. II is even worse than the state
of affairs disclosed some years ago in
southern Delaware. when one man is
said to have delivered nearly all the
votes at from 81 per capita upward.
Political corruption like this cannot
consistently be laid to any particular
system of nominating or electing can
didates Rather il is an exhibition of
degraded morals among the people, re-
fecting a dulled sense of personal
honor, a general lack of integrity and
no fne-spun theories can get around
that primal fact No matter what the
system of government might be, if the
people had character, II they were
scrupulous in their fidelity to trust,
they would not sell their votes. nor
buy those of their neighbors. OF
course, many good and inoffensive peo-
pie fall into the habit by force of bad
example without intending to do
wrong TO that extent it may be ad-
mitted that system played its part.
Evidently it has come to be regarded
10 10
this selling and buying of votes, for we
see ministers of the gospel and other
wise respected citizens caught up in
the vortex of the storm that finally
broke. No doubt these good people
at first were shocked by the thought
Of such q thing but as year by year
they practiced It, the keen edge of per-
sonal honor wore Off they we're able
to make themselves believe it was not
so bad after all, II not, indeed, en-
tirely justifable
The machinery of politics in Ohio
is not much different from the general
machinery of politics over the coun-
try and, therefore, contained the key
to self-reform. When the community
awoke there were enough guiltless
ones to compose a court, prosecuting
counsel and a grand jury to lead the
way out. When it is charged that the
people of Adams county are the worst
people anywhere, It must at least be
acknowledged that there are some of
the best there too, or the regeneration
would not have come about

Preventing Mine Disasters.

The wisdom of creating the federal
bureau OF mines is being INDICATED
in the governments discovery of some
of the prime causes of such disasters
as those at Cherry and other great
mining centers. Prof. Thomas G.
Chamberlain of the University of Chi
cago writes very interesting maya
zine article on the progress made and
yet to be made. Here is a brief de-
scription from his pen:
Spraying the tunnels and shafts of mines
with a douche of shale dust and water at
frequent intervals will not only make the
soil dust Of the walls and floors almost
proof against fire from a sudden explosion.
but will prevent the rise Of much Of the
gas that makes an explosion possible.
The danger from too strong ventilation
which has stirred up the free coal dust
i'm the passages and caused many eX-
plosions Is obviated by this method The
dyeng shale forms a coating over the dust
and air currents sufficient to clear out any
gases that may accumulate; may be sent
through the mine without fear.
This is what the bureau Of mines
has brought out and 1t will soon pub
lish something on the subject. The
danger of too much ventilation re-
ferred to was realized in the Cherry
disaster. 1t became necessary before
ever the fire below could be checked
to reduce the ventilation through the
shafts and they we're sealed for days.
This crude method, however, only ere
ated another complication, that of af-
fording an inadequate supply of air.
But 1t seems the governments experts
have found a way to solve this prob
lem Of a proper distribution Of air.
1t is to the everlasting shame of the
mammoth coal mining corporations
that they left this humane work for
the government to do. The private
concerns should have done it long ago.
They had almost the same resources
for doing it as the government had
and it was their duty before it was the

Over Mountains in Airshins.

Army officers are said to have be-
come enthusiastic over Aviator Hox-
sey's scaling Mount Wilson in his
aeroplane as an illustration of what
aeroplanes may mean to the wars of
the future. They fell to rhapsodizing
on the ease and facility with which
thousands Of troops might thus be
transported over lofty peaks to light
upon the enemy, mayhap, encamped
in the valley beyond. Certainly it is
possibilities are untold! only think
what Julius Caesar or Napoleon Bona
parte would have given for such
sure, swift means of fight over the
peerless Alps! 1t is only in the light
of such a comparison that one may
CLEAN a proper perspective of progress
and get anything Ikea definite line
on the future.
But tearing aside the beauty of the
illusion and looking the subject
squarely in the face, the army officers
WHO eAulJ6u over IuG IluAbGg dGulSNb-
ment must admit that Mr.. HoXsey is
thus far in a woeful minority. And
he has no more than barely scaled
this one peak himself. The next time
he tries it he may fail or meet with
worse consequences. We hope not,
But the point is that aviation as a
practical system of travel is making
such slow progress as compared with
the tremendous strides of this swift
winged dove of peace that wars are
likely to be gone and forgotten and
the necessity of aeroplanes for armies
thus obviated before the science of
their use is reduced to an unitarian
basis. -
Army officers are usually good fell
lows and it would have been ungallant
in them not to have bestowed some
fiattering compliment upon the intre-
pid Hoxsey, but it is to be doubted if
they look for the fruition of their
dream in any very brief period.

NEW YEARS EVE.

Alfred Tennyson.
Ring out, wild bells. TO the wild sky,
The flying cloud the frosty light,
The year is dying in the night
Ring out, wild bells and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false ring In the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind.
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of petty strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin.
The faithless coldness OF the times;
Ring out, ring out, my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood
The civic Islander and the spite;
Ring In the love Of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good,
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old.
Ring In the thousand years OF peace.
Ring In the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness OF the land
Ring In the Christ that is to be.

The recommendation made by the spe-
cial committee Of the American institute
OF criminal law and criminology. appointed
to investigate English criminal procedure.

vestigators, John ID. Lawson. dean Of the
law school Of the University OF Missouri
and Edwin II. Keedy, professor OF law in
Northwestern university. spent four
months in England during the last year
attending the sessions OF the criminal
court of London. from the lowest to the
highest and witnessing also the assizes in
one of the largest OF the provincial cities
The report is I'm great part a most inter
esting and clear description OF the working
OF the English system. which shows i'm
what respects our criminal procedure diff
fets today from that Of Great Britain,
the country from which we derived our
Jurisprudence. I'VE do not suggest com
PARSONS" say the investigators, but sim
ply state the case The English system,
however, seems satisfactory to the En-
glish lawyer and English layman and -
II results i'm certainty and speed in the
administration Of the criminal code"
Yet in conclusion, the report presents to
the American bar and people the following
recommendations concerning possible inn
provements I'm American procedures
/. All objections to the indictment should
be made before evidence is heard and err
rors in matters or form amended at once.
., The presenting attorney and coun-
sci for the defense should before trial con
slider and discuss the qualifications OF the
individual members OF the jury panel and
agree to the dismissal OF any one clearly
incompetent to be a Juror.
8. The voir dire should be limited to the
asking of questions strongly tending to
show incompetency or bias in the present
trial
4. All prisoners on trial upon indictment,
who are unable to employ counsel should
be furnished with legal assistance through
out the trial including the arraignment.
8. The prosecuting attorney, instead Of
being a partisan, should investigate the
case from a nonpartisan standpoint, and
should make impartial prosecution Of
the evidence to the jury.
6. The fee system wherever It exists for
the compensation Of prosecuting attorneys,
should be abolished
Z. Counsel for the prisoner should de-
fend him by endeavoring to disprove his
guilt and never by injecting error in the
record
s. The trial Judge should not be a mere
presiding officer. but should take an active
and controlling part In the trial He
should restrict counsel to the asking OF
relevant questions. He should promptly
override and discourage technical objec-
lions. He should never permit counsel
TO intimldate or improperly to confuse a
witness. He should sum up the evidence
to the jury and direct them as to the law
applicable thereto.
g. New trials should never be granted
for technical errors, but only to prevent
miscarriage of justice.
10. Jsecutions for minor offenses where
the accused is not likely to evade the hear
ing should be begun by summons as in
civil cases.

Automobile Regulation.

Our incoming secretary of state, Ad-
the administration of-the law for reg
isterinG and regulating automobiles,
proposes some changes in the Ne
braska statute, which by all means
should be made. Mr. Wait lays stress
on a graduation of the annual regis
tration fee to make it more of an in
come producer, which is probably all
right in it's way, but the really impor-
tant thing is to provide better protec-
ton to those who ride in automobiles
and to those who are apt to be ridden
down by them.
AS our Nebraska law now stands
anyone who can get possession of a
duly registered automobile may drive
it when and where he chooses, subject
only to a speed limit that means seri-
Gus injury, If not certain death, in
every collision. AS drivers, men,
women and children are all alike in
the eyes of this law which prescribes
no qualifications of age or experience
for handling one of these high power
machines except for such as may seek
passengers as public conveyances.
What has been found to be the
worst feature of the present automo-
bile law is that it not only affords the
public no measurable protection, but
absolutely prohibits the authorities of
any city or town or other subdivision
Of the state from making or enforcing
any reasonable regulations. 1t may
be desirable to have uniform rules
and requirements for automoblling
throughout the state and to avoid a
multiplicity of conflicting demands
from one town to another and from
one county to another; but if the local
authorities are to be denied power to
keep the autoists within bounds, then
the state must make its regulations
meet the necessities of reasonable
safety and a fair amount of respect
for the rights of folks who have to
travel afoot or in slOwer-going and
less extensive vehicles
