And Taxpayers Foot the Bills.

The reversal by u state supreme
court Of the verdict in the Mauserides
murder case looks like the injection of
more technicalities of the law to de-
lay, II not to prevent, substantial Jus
tice. The court orders a new trial be-
cause of error committed by the dis
trict Judge in admitting testimony that
should have been excluded. Which
reminds us OF a story something like
this once told by the late William B..
Hornblower in a lecture to a body of
New York law students:
A distinguished lawyer was arguing his
case when the presiding Judge raped him
down with the remark, Never mind that.
Your client is presumed to know the law"
Yes, your honor" was the reply, II I'M
derstand that my client is presumed to
know the law.
The cabman who drove me down here
today is presumed to know the law.
THE boy who blacked my boots THIS
morning is presumed to know the law,
IT. myself, am presumed to know the
law.
But, your honor, It takes a supreme
court and a court Of appeals to keep you
straight"
In the meantime the taxpayers foot
the bills for costly new trials.

Tho Contribution 20 Science.

The completion Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
Tfrican hunting expedition brings to a
close a remarkably valuable, as we'll as
interesting, effort. Insofar as the hunt
Is concerned Il is the worlds record in
duration Of time and the number of
beasts and birds brought down. Africa
has been the scene OF many historical
hunting expeditions, but never a a
hunt on the dark continent been con
Quoted so successfully, with so little
sickness and so few accidents.
The scientific value Of the expedi-
ton can not be measured at once. The
extensive study OF animal life made
possible through the collection sent
home will correct some OF the zoolog-
ical data Of our text books n add
other data hitherto unknown. Several
hundred specimens of animal life have
been added to the museums of our
county, as we'll as several thousand
birds. The majority of these trophies go
to the Smithsonian institute in Wash
ington, although many smaller mu-
seums will be also enriched, Mr.. Roose-
welt keeping only six for himself. This
great collection is the most remark
able ever made, not only from the
wide range Of species covered, but
especially from the rare specimens OBJ
tanned. OF the rarest, the giant Glands
are said to be the most valuable, no
perfect specimens of this mammal be-
ing possessed in America.
Some have questioned the humanity
of this expedition and have censured
Roosevelt for taking such pleas
ure in the slaughter Of animal life"
But these critics are few in number,
for the value Of the work, from the
viewpoint Of science, p A. not to be
deprecated. When the mounted collec-
tion Will constitute a great addition
to that already in the Smithsonian.
Furthermore, the study OF animal life
has given to Mr.. Roosevelt the In
formation necessary to make him an
authority on African fauna, adding an
other contribution to our scientific lit
erature, Take 1t altogether, this ex-
petition, while affording the great ex-
president an enviable vacation, has
been productive of results of inestima-
BILE value.

Government for Alaska.

With the opening of great reaches
of wealth-produeins country in
Alaska for development the necessity
Of a suitable government for the en-
tire district becomes more and more
imperative. Although new among our
possessions, Alaska bids fair to be one
Of our richest territories. 1t has an
area about twice that of Texas and IN
wealth of metal, mineral and lumber
stands far ahead of the states and
provinces under the control OF our gov
eminent. AS the truth of this be-
coWes widely known thousands of
hardy individuals viii go there for set
Element. But no stable form Of gov
eminent yet obtains, and in some parts
the law Of the gun n of the Wig
ilantes is the only one recognized.
The settled communities of Alaska
are separated by hundreds and thou
sands OF miles of wilderness, with the
pack mule and the sledge the only
means Of communication most Of the
year. The people are too widely scat
tered as yet for a representative form
Of government and too divided IN their
interests to get close together, Elec-
tions could be held. but the rowing
habits OF the population, under stress
Of the climate. would make reliable
representation difficult. A provincial
form OF government, like that in the
Philippine islands. is neither wanted
nor necessary, for the majority Of the
Alaskans are of American birth and
breeding. AS for a commission form
OF government, that also has its seri-
Gus disadvantages as wen as its ad-
vantages.
Federal control OF, Alaska for some
time Is necessary IL n natural re-
sources there are to be conserved. The
country must not be turned over 10 be
despoiled by INSCRIPTIONS exploiters,
who would only develop for their own
ends and when the wealth Of mine
and forest had been exhausted would
