KANSAS COMMENT
CLUTTERING UP OF JUSTICE.

Seven volumes, comprising 4.50o type
written folio pages and containing
more than ~ million words, have been
filed with the supreme court of Mis-
souri, to set forth the alleged errors
in the trial Of DR.. B. Clark Hyde, says
the Kansas City Times.
If it is necessary to justice that this
sort of thing should be done, then no
poor man accused Of crime could get
justice, because it costs many thou
sands of dollars to get up such an alb
stract of record-and the defendant has
to pay for it.
If it is not necessary to justice, then
what is the excuse for it?
As long as it is permitted to clog the
work OF courts by such procedure as
the record in this case is evidence Of
lawyers will feel obliged to do it to
be faithful to their clients. But II thar
sort of procedure is the best that law
yerS have been able to devise, then bar
associations had better go out Of bust
ness as specialists in the judicial ad-
ministration of the law.
What is the use of having trial courts
if everything the Judge presiding at the
excepted to as incompetent, irrelevant
and immaterial,' or as 'prejudicial to
the rights of the defendant" and there
fore subject with all its accompany
ing circumstances to review by ap-
pellate judges? A Judge cannot do JUS
an arbiter between society and an ac-
cused man, he must be an arbiter
merely between contentious lawyers
wrangling over technicalities of prac-
tice.
1t is not urged that an appeal should
not lie in any and every case of con-
viction of a grave charge. Before SEN
tence is finally executed a convicted
man should have every reasonable pro-
lection against wronged innocence. In
a sense, society is as much interested
in that ideal as is the defendant. But
error sufficient judgment should be
confined to such mistake that, had they
not been made, the reasonable pre-
sumption is that the result of the trial
would have been different. Such rule,
embodied in the codes and practiced
by the courts would secure to DR..
Hyde, and to every defendant, every
substantial right, while it would pre-
vent the subordination of the merits
of the cause to the technicalities of the
procedure.-Wichita Eagle.

As an example of the endless chain
the Detroit Free Press in discussing
the coalition between railroads and
their employees to secure an advance
in freight rates, puts it this way: 1.-The
certain result of an advance in wages
through increased freight charges will
be a still higher rise in the cost of
living The public will pay the freight,
whether the freight is great or little,
and the railroad men are part of the
public. Freights go up, wages go up,
household supplies go up, and wages
must go up some more to keep pace
with them, wherefore freight must go
lin again.

GOOD THING TO TIRE OF.

A farmer said the other day that he
was tired of having the price of his
wheat dictated from Liverpool. A
mighty good thing to tire of, but, so
long as we export this wheat. and to
the Liverpool market, just so long will
the demands of that market set the
price.
1t has been the aim of Republican
protective legislation to do away with
the Liverpool market, by building
great industrial centers and making of
them home market and home de-
mand to make the price. Building up
industrial centers has enticed millions
of people to our shores which added
to our own natural increase has made
demand by consumers of farm prod
ucts that has continually UNCHANGED the
price of these products until today the
farmer is as we'll paid for his labor
as any class of people on earth, and
where they have been blessed with
good crops are the most prosperous

THE MOVE ON" PRINCIPLE.

It may be all right for Kansas City,
Mo-, to drive out all its thugs and
undesirables, but where on earth have
they got to go. We wouldn't want any
of them to settle in Beloit, for instance.
Each city should deal in some salts
factrv manner with its own underworld
and not seek to fill up the slums of
other cities with its refuse, especially
when all the centers of population are
graphing with the same difficult prob
lem. But this is a phase of sociology
that requires wise heads to settle,
much more so than are to be found
on the shoulders of the average adj
ministrator of public affairs in our
cities who is usually the pet of some
political party. There is one thing
certain. that energy and morality can
not be beaten into the individual how
ever worthless he may be by the aid
alone of a policeman's billy.-Beloit

FROM OTHER PENS

"A MAD WORLD, MY MASTERS"
Some years ago the late Simon
Newcomb gave the reign of fancy to
his profoun astronomical knowledge
and in a popular magazine article de-
scribed the approach of dead star
toward the body of the sun, and its
final effect upon the planet. When it
plunged into the great luminary it so
intensified the heat that everything
perishable on our globe was destroyed
and it practically returned to primeval
chaos Now Dr. Forbes Winslow,
celebrated English alfenist, has made
still more dire prediction for the
race, and, what is worse. he seems to
be serious about it. This is no less
than that on the basis of statistics this
will be ultimately an insane world. A
wholly mad world would be infinitely
more terrible than a dead one, and,
were we to accept this pessimistic ex-
pert's belief without counterbalancing
testimony, the future of the race would
be horrible to contemplate, even al
lowing for the centuries that would
pass before reason ceased to find an
abiding place upon the planet. But
when doctors disagree it is our privi-
Iege to accept the opinion that is most
hopeful. We also have alienists of re-
nown in this country, and one of them
is Dr. Charles K. Miles of Philadelphia,
who in an interview in the Public
Ledger calmly refuses to entertain the
melancholy conclusions of his British
brother.-Brooklyn Transcript.
