TWO KINDS

TN forming his opinion of Captain
Fredericks as a politician, dis
Il trict attorney and man, Mayor
Alexander disregards the charges made
AGAINST Fredericks, and is moved to
action by his own knowledge. The
mayor knows Fredericks in all three
respects, knows him intimately and
bases his judgment on first hand
knowledge,
Similarly, hundreds of people will
not take the trouble to weigh the may
or's reasons judicially. They will
say: 'IG George Alexander says John
d. Fredericks is unworthy of our
votes, that is enough for us" A great
many haven't the time to go into the
charges and the evidence judicially It
is sufficient for them when the issue
narrows down to a question of stand
ing and veraCity between the two men.
George Alexander says that for sew
cral years past the district attorney
has been a scheming politician, slip
perry and untrustworthy, and faithful
only to the Old machine and himself.
The mayor is a fair and truthful man.
He has always been an honest official
who couldn't be controlled. What he
says about Fredericks will go with
thousands.

DIR. cRIPPEN's TRIAL

Editor Herald: I generally find
myself able to agree with the views
Of your editorial page, but the one in
this mornings paper contrasting the
speed with which DR.. Crippen was
tried, convicted and is promised hang
ing, in England, with the more de-
liberate and painstaking American
method, and your approval of the
summary and inadequate trial can
not meet with the appreciation of any.
judicial mind; much less when we take
into account the fact that life is to be
taven; that the case Is tried wholly
upon circumstantial evidence; that no
human being can say that the wife, an
actress of doubtful reputation, may
not bob up soon after it is too late
to save a life.
The cold-blooded haste in taking
human life which characterizes Brit
ish methods will l trust never find
favor in this country 1t seems to me
the views expressed in tnis particular
editorial are so out of harmony with
the humane and kindly spirit of the
paper, that Mr.. Hyde must be on the
lob while DR.. Jekyll is taking an out
ing.
If the editor were on trial for his
life, 1 am sure no amount of pains
taking would have been too great on
the part of the court and the jury,
every doubt would have been asked
to be resolved in his favor. and while
uncertainty still existed, as it does in
this case, Imprisonment would have
been asked rather than placing the
man beyond any possible revelations
the future had to offer.
The whole trial was disgrace to
civilization, and the bloodthirsty haste
to execute by advancing the time of
execution one week, and placing it on
the Sth day of November instead of
the 18th. as originally set, shows bar
barrie thirst for blood that is no credit
to human nature. .
