London, April 15.-In nearly all OF the
churches of England to-day sermons
have touched upon the remarkable stride
forward made by the movement for the
promotion of international peace and
the debt OF gratitude which the world
owes to President Taft. but there is,
strangely enough, among the ministers
of the Church OF England quite a num-
Der who dread the abolition of war. be-
cause they fear that the absence Of dan
ger from without will tend to deteriorate
and degenerate the national character.
The leader OF these militant ecclesiasts
IS Canon Tupper-Cary, of York.

HORSE BEATS AUTO
FOR CORONATION
Guests to Travel in Carriages
to Westminster.

London, April 15.-The automobile, even
when of the more humble sort, carries
itself with a certain air Of arrogance. It
is about to meet with humiliation at the
coronation. That will be the day of the
horse.
The greatest of the guests will not go
to Westminster in cars. but will use
horses. There is going to be enough OF
a return to horses to create a big prob

King has had to buy horses to the num-

This means that graves cannot be

and ugly by drink. that he used other
drugs and that this had been going on
for years. 1t may be that Kelly was
temporarily insane from drink or drugs
or the want of them when he killed
two men but it is much more evident
that his nervous and physical degen-
eracy was as certainly the result Of a
course calculated to graduate him into
heinous crime as was his medical
course to graduate him as q physi-
clan.
There was a elaboration and con-
sistency about the mans progress to-
ward murder as there was toward his
diploma. He worked for his degree in
crime as he had for his degree in med
icine. He sought Temporary insanity

the murder of these men he should be
confined in an insane asylum or the
penitentiary for at least a ten year
term and his right to practice medicine
revoked. Indeed it ought to have been
taken away long ago and the certifi-
cate of every other drunken or dope
using doctor should be taken from him
Immediately. Incidentally that is a
point the medical profession and So
cieties should be more INN ediately ex-
ercised over than the ethics Of news

Kelly has been graduated in two
lines, crime and medicine, once in the
medical school and once from that in
stitute of crime, the saloon. Gradua-
ton presupposes school. Council
Bluffs was prolific in gambling houses,
bagnios, and saloons when Kelly was
beginning his course. II has retained
some of the Institutions tho the state
has by constant effort succeeded in
minimizing the gambling houses and
the brothels in that city. Council
Bluffs had no medical school, no col
lege. Kelly had to go out OF town for
that part of his education.
Marshalltown has taken up the char
ter Of the criminal colleges. The
presidents of those institutions have
sought other avenues of employment
and the faculties are in most instances
engaged in honorable labor. The rec
ords of the police and district courts
show a heavy falling off in graduates
since the colleges closed. There is
suggestion two ways. One is that we
shall bring back the criminal college. re-
establish the curriculum of poverty and
compete with other cities in gradual
ing Kellys. Another is that Marshall
town needs and could maintain a
school modelled on that at Valparaiso,
Indiana. and graduate men instead OF
criminals and drunkards. There is no
asset which pays better returns to a
city than a good educational institu-
ton. AS a producing asset 1t beats a
good factory.
