Hyde and the suprsme Court,

Unless Dr. Hyde proves to be less oners in Missouri. his appeal to the supreme court of that state will place the penitentiary in the dim distance. Missouri's supreme court is nOtori- ously one of the most technical in the land If that august tribunal finds that the indictment was faulty" in some particular. or that the trial judge committed error" in failing to observe all the rules of the Hoyle of precedent and case law. the Hyde case will be reversed.
 From the layman's viewpoint of common sense. it would seem that the office of an indictment has been served when it puts the world. and the defendant particularly, upon notice that the state charges the prisoner with having premeditatedly and with malice aforethought committed cer- tain crime at certain place within a cerldln tune. m tnlS instance Hyde IS charged with having deliberately poi soned Col. Swope. It would seem suf- ficient if the indictment set out the essential facts. But if the supreme court of Missouri is true to its tra- ditions, it will be unfortunate for the state if it can be shown that there was the slightest clerical error in the indictment. or the slightest variation in the proof from the allegations made in the indictment. The theory of re- quiring indictments to be reasonably specific is sound-the charge should be set forth with such clearness that the accused person will know what he is charged with. so that in the trial

he may not be taken by surprise But
 in practice the appellate courts of many of our subsequently, the su- preme courts of Missouri and Cali Quirements of common sense in their critical reviews. One of the maga-
 zines recently published long list of cases in which reversals had been ordered by the supreme court of Mis- souri on the most technical and silly grounds. Justice was defeated in case after case, merely because the alert lawyers for the defense had succeeded in showing that the convictions were not by rule of thumb. Everybody still remembers the reversal of the SchmitZ conviction by the supreme court of California. San Francisco's arch grafter went free because it was not established to the satisfaction of the supreme court that he was mayor at the time of his crime-when all the world. the judges of the court in- cluded, knew that he was the mayor during he period in question.
 One of the most prolific causes of reversal is error" in the trial The lot of trial judge in hotly con tested criminal case has become one or the most trying in public life. From the moment the case is called until the trial is over and the jury dis charged. the trial judge is badgered and harassed by the lawyers for the defense with persistent efforts to get "error" into the record-efforts to trap the court into letting in or excluding evidence which will be disapproved by the higher court on appeal
 It will be remarkable indeed. if Hyde's lawyers are unable to show the supreme court Of Missouri that the trial judge failed in some minute particular to handle the case in con- formity with the demands of prece- dent

The Unprotected Pacific.

The New York Sun. which is broad | ly American as distinguished from the
 many provincial papers of the east. quotes with approval the suggestions of Brigadier General Thomas Ander- son, retired, that if the battleship fleet is to be kept in Atlantic waters the government ought to give the Pacific coast better protection from the army General Anderson has pointed out that only 10000 regulars are available in
 the United States to repel invasion of the Pacific coast. the remainder of the army being in our island posses sions. As these 10000 are now dis tributed, but q few of them are on the coast. As General Anderson states it:
 Our military land forces on this coast l estimate from the last army list to be 10000 regulars. exclusive of the staff corps. Of these approxi- mately 4.600 are in the Department Of the Columbia. including those in Alaska. Of 4.OO0 organized militia there are l,5OO in Oregon and Wash ington and 2,5OO in California This makes an apparent force of l4, 1000 soldiers. From this must be deducted 5000 men segregated for the coast de- fence batteries and forts. This leaves a field force of 5000 men to defend l.5O0 miles of seacoast. and which. on account of geographical conditions, must be divided into three detach- ments."
 There may be good reasons for keeping ,Lc batt.oship fleet in the Atlantic. Apart from such reasons, however. il is no doubt true that the preponderant influence of New Eng land in congress has not a little to do with it. For many years Senator Hale Of Maine has been chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs he is in effect the boss of the navy. But granting that it is more impor- tant to keep the navy where it can protect the summer resorts of the New England coast from imaginary hostile fleets from Europe. what ar gument can be advanced in favor of leaving the Pacific coast unprotected on both sea and land? If Japan de- sired to invade the western United States, she would find all our ar engagements to her liking With prac- tically no opposition from our navy, in California within d month after the outbreak of war, and to deal with such d situation we have less than 10000 soldiers on the ground.

The Wireless Defeats the Foq.

Italian inventors seem to be su- raphy. ,Marconi's wonderful and un- canny invention has been supplement- ed by an invention brought out by Bellini and Tosi. two officers of the Italian navy, which enables a ship at sea to locate accurately all other ships with which she can get into wireless touch. This invention promises to be invaluable in preventing collisions in the fog. Capt Pencelet of the French liner La Provence announced on his arrival in New York the other day that the new contrivance enabled him to find out in the fog the exact posi- tion relatively of any ship with which he could get into wireless communi- cation. and also to get his own bear ings with great accuracy. The record ing device consists of dial with all the points of the compass. An inG.- cator is turned until the sound that comes by wireless is strongest, the in dicator showing the direction from which the message comes.
 Within the last year or two wire less telegraphy has saved scores of people from sinking or disabled ships. and has thus proved itself one of the most valuable inventions of the age

Now for Another Hotel!

The destruction of the Adams hotel is a serious misfortune for the city of Phoenix as well as for the proprietor Of that famous house. In a time of rapid growth. when the hotel facili- ties of the town were already made quate. the principal hotel of Phoenix has been waited away in smoke. Mir. J C. Adams. who for fourteen years has been one of our most interchangeable citizens in working for the prosperity of the community: the man who, fourteen years ago. had the nerve to build a hotel which then was far in advance of the town. had to stand helplessly by yesterday while the ac- cumulations Of long years were de- stroyed. But the material welfare Of Phoenix must be kept in view. We must have a new hotel d hotel mod ern in every way, a hotel far superior 10 the establishment that was burned yesterday, a hotel which will meet the needs of the rapidly growing city of Phoenix.
 We are confident that this is the program which will meet the approval Of the unconquerable U. C." And he and the enterprising citizens of Phoe- nix acting together can assure a hotel which will not only be a profitable investment, but will quickly become one Of the favorite winter hotels of the United States Just now, of course, it may be difficult for Mir. Adams to bring himself to the formulation of plans for the future: many men would be crushed in body and spirit by such a loss But he will quickly has a great multitude of friends who will stand by him. There has been much talk during the past few months of new hotel, in which stock to q large amount would be taken by citi- zens The project halted, largely be- cause many citizens appreciative of what J C. Adams has done for the town, were reluctant to take any steps which might injure the business Of his hotel. This reason no longer ex- ists. There is now an opportunity for the cooperation between Mir. Adams and his neighbors in securing such a hotel as Phoenix demands. We have no doubt that as soon as Mir Adams | can consider the future he will find | large numbers of business men and i property owners ready to join him in l taking stock in the new hotel
 The new hotel we must have. and it | must be peach
