"A Little More Than Kin"

A decision of more than usual inter,
est has been rendered in this city by
Judge Stafford, presiding over the Pro
bate Court In the case Of claim upor
the part of parents that the expense ot
the care of a child should be met out
of funds which the infant will eventu-
ally inherit he decided adversely, hold
ing that it is the duty of the parents TN
der the law to provide for their children
as long as they are financially able to
do so. He declared that the custom OF
asking the courts to authorize the use
of money left to children is becoming
altogether too prevalent.
The burden of life. the court held,
is to be thrown on the parent, and is
not to be assumed by an infant just
because it happens to have more money
than the parent In protesting against
the disposition to fritter away estates
that are left to children, he gave notice
of his intention to refuse all such re-
quests in the future unless it be plainly
shown that the parent is unable to sup
port the child.
Justice Stafford is determined that, so
far as his jurisdiction extends, the du-
ties of parenthood shall not sit lightly
upon the fathers and mothers of this
generation. Despite the accusations of
hard-heartedness and selhshness that
sociologists hurl at the modern race of
men and women, he believes that So
ciety is not yet ready to sanction the
request of parent that he be entitled
to collect board and hospital expenses
from his infant child.
With Justice Stafford enforcing his
conception of a parents duty to his
children, and Judge De Lacy relentlessly
following deserting husbands to the
ends of the earth. there is little danger
that either class will fail of performing
their full duty through ignorance of
the law

Gratifying Promptness.

With the memory of their deeds still
fresh in the public mind, two men,
Henry Clay Beattie, jr., and Paul Giebel
have been brought to trial for murder
one in Virginia and the other in New
York City.
We are so accustomed to the laws
delays, and we have accepted so indif-
ferently the long interval between the
commission of crime and the trial OF
its perpetrator, that these two cases de-
serve to be recognized. No matter how
they may terminate, there can be nc
criticism of the prosecuting officers for
undue procrastination On the contrary,
both New York and Virginia offer ex-
cellent examples for other Common
wealths in which crime may be CON-
mitted
1t is a splendid feature of English
criminal procedure that the accused is
speedily brought into court, there to re-
ceive vindication or punishment The
two trials now in progress demonstrate
that We can be equally expeditions in
this country. If every case was handled
with equal promptitude, respect for law
would be vastly increased.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-23

to be a matter of publicity. Many par
ticipants in the gathering who might
honestly differ upon some detail under
discussion will prefer to remain silent
rather than appear to be maleontents or
trouble makers. At the same time, the
frank expression of their views might
have distinct value
There is no universal demand for a
public caucus 1t would apparently
serve no beneficial end if it were to be
held. If the committee recommends its
establishment, it must present strong
arguments, or its recommendations will
be overruled.

In the Senate.

If, as now seems to be conceded,
Arizona elects two Democratic Senators
and New Mexico two Republican Sena-
tors, the admission of these two new
States will not affect the political COM
plexion of the Senate. When, however,
the seat of the late Senator Frye is
filled by a Democrat, and Colorado, as
is most likely, sends a Democratic COL
league for Mr. Guggenheim, the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate will be
reduced to eight
This, at best, is but narrow margin,
and when it is considered that the thir-
teen insurgent Republicans are not in
accord with their party brethren, it is
easy to see that the Republican control
Of the upper body is more in name than
in reality 1t was even demonstrated
in the vote upon the cotton bill that
if the regular Republicans refrain from
voting, the Democrats can carry their
measures without the help of their al
lies in the ranks of the insurgent Re-
publicans
The situation is interesting because it
means that if the Democrats carry the
country in 1912 they will have control
OF both branches of the National Legis-
lature This happened in 1893, when
Cleveland entered upon his second term.
but the Democratic majority in the
Senate was so narrow that the Demo
cratic leaders were greatly embarrassed
when they came to consider the tariff
Dill. Every diverse interest had TO be
satisfied, as the detection OF one or
two Senators menaced the passage of
the measure This condition will not
prevail in the Senate in 1913, provided
he Democrats elect their Presidential
candidate because a Democratic victory
will probably displace Briggs, of New
Jersey: Richardson, of Delaware; Dix
On, OF Montana; Guggenheim, of Colo
RADIO; Borah, OF Idaho, and Brown, of
Nebraska These changes would give
he Democrats a clear working major
ny
This situation. if it occur, would be
more satisfactory than that which pre-
vailed in 1898, because it would leave
the Democrats no excuse for failure to
carry out the pledges of their campaign.

A Una nfmfty of Opinion.

From the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
The Washington Herald is inclined
to believe that an opportunity is pre-
sented for reform when, as shown by
evidence adduced in the investigation
of the Agricultural Department, an Of
fetal can distort and change a judicial
decision without rebuke; official papers
can be revised to suit personal ends;
employees. including young women. can
be locked up with Secret Service men
and subjected to the third degree"
and the machinery of the department
can be used to nullify a law designed
to protect the public against adulter-
ated food, and so to safeguard the pub
lie health. The Richmond News Lead
er, upon due and careful considera-
tion," is inclined to the same opinion,
and so are we.

Open Caucus.

The committee which has been ap-
pointed to consider the advisability of
holding open caucuses of the Demo-
cratic members of the House in the
future should give careful consideration
to every phase of the question before
reaching a decision.
1t is by no means certain that an
open caucus is wise thing A caucus
is party conference. II is called for
free interchange of views, and the best
results are achieved when every possible
opinion is expressed. This can be done
