WHERE THE BLAME BELONGS.

After all the blame for not shop
ping early should not be placed on
the devoted shoulders Of woman. One
Of her sex has risen in protest and
she makes out pretty clear case.
In most cases she says the money
is not available until near Christmas
She says that the wife or daughter OF
the average man who works for sal
ary, OF the girl or woman who sup
pOTts herself, has neither the casa
nor the credit with which to make
purchases so long In advance of the
holidays. The weekly or monthly IN
come, in most instances, provides but
little above the ordinary expenses,
excep. few dimes or dollar or SO
for the proverbial rainy day. BY
economizing on household expenses
ior a few weeks before Christmas the
careful head of the family ia enabled
to devote the weeks or half months
salary Just before Christmas to the
1oi-ray purchases, and In most In
stances this money Is not available
until the Saturday or Monday before
the fcstal day. Thus It's an impossi
bility to shop early and help TN
clerTs or avoid the rush.
Again in some cases the male
holder of the purse strings doesn'
loosen until the Tom and Jerrys be

INSANITY OR DEPRAvITY.

The suggestion In the evening con-
temporary that Bankson was or may
have been insane on the one idea OF
getting revenge" when he killed Of'
ficer French Is not to be considered
seriously. If he was insane he can
not be held responsible for his act,
and should be acquitted; but there Is
nothing iii the circumstances OF mis-
crime to Justify such conclusion or
even such d suggestion.
one may understand and believe
that when a wife tells her husband a
narrowing tale of outrage 1t may
cause in the former an irresponsible
mental state for the time being, ana
during that state Of temporary mad
ness ne may commit murder and DC
blameless in fact AMI under the law.
Or when such a crime is committed
as that OF Nov. one year ago IN
Cairo, whole community may be-
come. to an extent, morally blameless
for wreaking summary vengeance up
on the perpetrator.
But no such cause, nor anything
like it in character or gravity. can be
urged In behalf OF Bankson. All tnai
ne could possibly haye had against
officer French was that the latter
had interfered with his wild orgies IN
house OF Ill fame and taken from
him weapon which he had nonrlsil-a
ed menacingly. If jury should ac'
cept these trifing circumstances as
reasonable OF even possible cause
of Temporary insanity" to the extent
OF excusing murder, Il would be justly
omen to suspicion as to it's own sanity
or as to its honesty.
The temporary insanity plea mas
been the refuge OF many criminal,
in the courts OF the country last
refuge in cases where the circum-
stances would not admit of doubt as
to mis- guilt, or where perjury on the
witness stand or fraud in the selec'
ton OF jury, could not be refled
unon MS a means of acqpittal. Ana
even at its best, the theory that
nan may be insane on one SUBJECT
and that only for moment whiie
committing q serious crime, Is mani
Testify dangerous to the safety OF
community, for it would not require
an adept at assembling. who hac
made up his mind to commit
crime, to so conduct himself Tor
tine before carrying out his purpose
as to lay seemingly equitable gronnt
for the plea Of moral irresponsibility
In the case of Bankson the plea O.

getting revenge for this, would D.

owned small farms, did their own

LESSEN THE COST OF LITIGATION

President Taft told the people in his
ST. Louis speech tina I'VE ave got
to a it so that cases are decided
promptly The best speech Mr.. Tart
made in the campaign was in Chicago
when he discussed the necessity or
lessening the cost Of litigation in the
Federal courts and securing prompt
hearing and decision d cases.
What is driving your merchants
ont of courts and into arbitration ?"
Mr.. Taft asked at St. Louis, and he
answered his own question by saying
TT is the cost Of ~ltigation' and
when he made this answer he CAV a
prime cause which keeps litigants
from going into the Federal courts.
Those who have at times been so
unfortunate as to become involved in
suits in the Federal courts know that
the costs run into figures that are
enormous, and where interests in
which money is involved get into liti-
cation they find that when the Fed
eraI court fees are paid that there is
a big hole made in the bank account.
IN cases the allowances made as fees
ave been SO abnOrmally large that
the matters have grown into scandals.
The truth is that the fees in the
Federal courts at time reach such out
rageous figures that people whose in
terests are at stake prefer to lose their
rights and submit to injustice, rather
THAI to go into the Federal courts,
because of the fear that the fees there
Will liter1ly eat up their substance.
It was the knowledge of this that
caused President Taft to speak as he
did in st. Louis, and he spoke as
one having authority" for he has
been q judge and he knows of the
costs that fasten themselves as bar
nacles on l%itigants.
The dernand in North Carolina is
hat the fee bushes be stopped and
in some of the big counties an end
has been put to the system, an ex-
a1nple that is spreading and which will
still further spread, but in the Fed
eral courts there seems to be no dis
position to end the practice of exor-
bitant costs, which take almost every
thing in sight. President Taft has
done Well to sharply call attention to
this present day evil, and he should
not pause with the talking, but should
urge and insist that his party now in
control put into effect such legisla-
ton as will make the Federal courts
places in which justice may be
sought without the fear OF SO great
a cost OF litigation that it would be
preferable to suffer wrong rather than
to seek that redress which the law
should give. Lessening the cost of
llugauon and deciding cases promptly
are two things to be greatly desired
