MISCARRIAGE or JUSTICE.

The verdict OF the jury which tried
Joseph Vending. the murderer OF
eight-year-old Alma Kellner. at Louis
vile. KY. would seem to be a sad
miscarriage Of justice. The jury finds
Vending guilty OF murder and fixes
his punishment at life imprisonment.
Vending himself hits the nail square
~ on the head when he says that
either he killed the girl or he did not.
and that either he should have been
freed. as an innocent man. or sent 10
the electric chair as murderer.
The murder OF little Alma Kellner
was a particularly brutal one. As the
janitor OF the church which the little
girl attended. Vending had made ad-
vances 10 her. one day she disap-
peared. az did Vending. A rich
uncle spent money like water trying
to find her. Then her body was dis
covered in an abandoned cistern on
the parish property. Her garments
were bloodstained when found and
other clothing she had worn was found
on the premises together with a pair
Of athletic trunks owned and worn
by Vending. All the circumstances
in the case pointed Enthusiastically TO
Vending as the murderer.
Vending was caught after long
chase. and probably never would have
been apprehended but for the clue
given by a woman with whom he had
become infatuated. He was caught at
about the same time as Or. Crippen.
who murdered his actress wife. Belle
ElmOre. The evidence against Grip
pen was no stronger than the evil
dence against Vending. yet Crippcn
has been hanged. II H. probable that
the jury took the view that the evil
dence was purely circumstsutial: and
the verdict was probably a compro-
mise between those who stood ror The
death penalty and those who thought
that Vending ought to be freed be-
cause the evidence was circumstan-
tiaL
II ought TO have been possible for
the verdict TO have been set aside and
another trial ordered. II vending
killed the little girl. death I'm the
electric chair ought to be his punish
ment II ne did not Kill her. ne ought
To be set free.
10 Is a curious feature or our ma
tionsl system OF criminal iurispru-
dence that such things as the Wend-
ling fiasco can occur. So long as
our present jury system can obtain.

Arms and Legs.

According to the result of many
measurements made at the An.
chronological laboratory in London,
the right arm in human beings is, in
q majority of cases, longer than the
left arm, while, on the contrary, the
left leg is longer than the right leg.
Sometimes, however, the relative pro-
portions are exactly reversed, but
very seldom does perfect equality
exist between the two sides. The ten.
dency Of the right arm to exceed the
left arm in strength is somewhat
greater in men than in women, while
equality Of strength in the two arms
occurs almost twice as frequently
with women as with men.

Problems OF Modern Nations.

Fverv modern civilized nation has many
and terrible problems to solve within Its
own borders, problems that arise not
merely from juxtaposition Of poverty and
riches, but especially from the self-con-
sciousness Of both poverty and riches.
Each nation must deal with these mat
ters in its own fashion, and yet the spirit
IN which the problem IS approached must
ever be fundamentally the same. II
must he q spirit Of broad humanity: OF
brotherly kindness; Of acceptance or re-
snonsibility. one for each and each Tor
all. and at the same time a spirit as re-
mote as the poles from every form OF
weakness and sentimentality. AS in war
N nardon the coward Is to do cruel
wrong to the brave man whose life his
coUardice ieopardizes, so in civil affairs
n Is revolving to every principle or
Justice TO give to the lazy, the vicious, or
even the feeble and dull-witted, a reward
which is really the robbery OF what
hraver. wiser, ADLER men have earned.
The only effective way TO help any man
Is to help him to help himself; and the
worst lesson to teach him is that ne can
he permanently helped at the expense OF
some one else. True liberty shows ltseiI

privilege should not be tolerated because
II "a 70 the advantage Of a minority, nor
vet because it is to the advantage OF a
ma iority. No doctrinaire theories OF
vested rights or freedom Of contract can
stand In the way Of our cutting ont
abuses from the body polite. Just a 1T
re can we afford to follow the doctrin-
aires Of an impossible-and incidentally
of a highly undesirable-sOcial revolution
which. in destroying individual rights
Including property rights and the lam
ilv. would destroy the two chief agents in
the advance Of mankind, and the two
chief reasons why either the advance or
the preservation of mankind is worth
while. 1t is an evil and a dreadful thing
n he callous to sorrow and suffering, and
blind to our duty to do all things possible
for the betterment Of social conditions.
But il Is an unspeakably foolish thing to
strive for this betterment by means SC
destructive that they would leave no So
ciaI conditions to better. In dealing witt
all these social problems, with the init.
mate relations Of the family. with wealth
in private use and business use, with la
Dor. with poverty, the one prime neces'
sity is to remember that, though hard
ness Of heart Is a great evil, 1t is nc

Strenqth With Morality.

In the first part Of this lecture l drew
certain analOgies between what had oc-
Cured to forms Of animal life through
the procession Of the ages on this planet
and what has occurred and Is occurring
to the great artificial civilizations WhlcA
have gradually spread over the WoTIH
surface during the thousands or Years
that have elapsed since cities or temples
and palaces first rose beside the M" anu
the Euphrates, and the harborS 81
NTinoan Crete bristled with the m&sts Of
the Aegean craft. But or course ire
naraIIel is true only in the toughest
and most general way. Moreover even
between the civilizations Of today and
the civilizations of ancient times Their"
are differences 50 profound that we must
be cautious in drawing any conclusions
for the present based on what has hap
pened in the past. While freely admit
ting all of our follies and weaknesses OF
today. il Is yet mere perversity to refuse
70 realize the incredible advance that
has been made in ethical standards. l DO
NOT believe that there is the slightest nee
essary connection between any weaken
ing Of virile force ana this advance IN
the moral standard. this growth or the
sense of obligation to ones nelghDOr ana
of reluctance to do that neighbor wrong.
We need have sCant patience with mat
siliy cynicism which insists that klndl-
ness Of character only accompanies
weakness OF character. On the contrary
lust as in private life many OF the men
Of strongest character are the very men
of Hottest and most exalted morality, so
I believe that in national life as the ages
go by we shall find that the permanent
national types will more and more tend
towards those in which, while the intel
lect stands high. character stands hlsher'
In which rugged strength and courage
rugged capacity to resist wrongful as-
g~ression by others, will go hand in hand
with a lofty scorn Of doing wrong to oth-
ers. This Is the type Of TimOleon. OF
Hampden, Of Washington and Lincoln
These were as good men. as disinterestec
and unselfsh men, as ever served q
state: and they were also as strong mer
as ever founded or saved a state. Surely
such examples prove that there Is noth'
ing UtOpian in our effort to c0mbln'
Justice and strength in the same nation
The really high civilizations must them
selves supply the antidote to the selt.in
diligence and love Of ease which they
