Senator Boynton's constitutional amendment to make an end
of reversing verdicts on trivial errors came out OF the Senate
Judiciary committee with a unanimously favorable report ana mas
passed the Senate. A committee amendment strengthens the
measure so that there can be no doubt Of its meaning. As 1t
stands now 1T reads:
"No Judgment shall be set aside or new trial granted IN any
case on the grounds Of instruction to the jury or the improper
admission or rejection of evidence, or for error as to any matter OF
pleading or procedure. unless, after an examination OF the entire
cause, including the evidence, the court shall be OF the opinion
that the error complained of has resulted in a miscarriage OF
Justice"
The amendment should be promptly passed by the Assembly.
Beyond question it expresses the simple common sense OF the law.
The purpose of maintaining courts of justice is to punish the guilty
and protect the innocent. The reason for giving appeals In crlml-
nal cases is to make sure that this end has been accomplished.
And yet the time of the Appellate Courts has for the most part
been taken up with questions Of legal etiquette. A recent examl-
nation of Appellate Court decisions showed that over one-third OF
the cases sent back for new trial had been reversed purely on
matters of form. Either the prosecuting attorney or the judge had
said or done something that was not according to the rules of the
game, and whether it affected the real rights of the accused was
not considered.
The one thing that is of Importance is the guilt or innocence
of the defendant and the one business of the Appellate Courts In
this matter should be to see whether it has been fairly proved.
That is what the people believe, and they will register that belief
by an overwhelming majority when Senator Boynton's amendment
is put up to them.

New Jerseys Political Triumph

The election of James E. MARITIME as United States Senator
from New Jersey to succeed John Kean is a splendid triumph and a
vindication of the principle that United States Senators should
represent the people of their States rather than some corporation
or group of corporations.
MI. MARITIME went before the Democratic voters in the pi-
maries and received their endorsement as the party candidate for
the United States Senator At that time it was not foreseen or
considered possible that a Democratic majority in the Legislature
would be elected, so the nomination of Mr.. MARITIME as the party
choice for Senator was looked upon as an empty honor. But the
splendid campaign of Woodrow Wilson for G~overnor-aded, by
the way, by Mr.. Marines energetic work for Wilson on the stump
swept a Democratic Legislature in on the crest of the wave of
victory and assured the election of a Democratic Senator.
Then James Smith, Jr, got busy. So long as there was no ap-
parent hope of victory Smith had no aspirations. But as soon as
it was shown that a s~enatorship was in sight for the picking, Smith
"a political boss, corporation tool and former Senator of unenvi-
able record-became hungry for office. Also the corporations sat
up and took notice. They didn't want James MARITIME. He had
some radical notions that a Senator'S duty was to serve the whole
people rather than the "interests." The corporations would be as
we'll satisfied with Smith in the Senate as Kean.
tine. Governor elect Wilson delighted his friends aud surprised
doubters by coming out unreservedly and emphaticaly for MARITIME
and against Smith. The result of the contest is now history. Smith
has met with a crushing defeat and MARITIME is Senatoreect from
New Jersey. The popular election of United States Senators is
e~xemplifed in the outcome, as MARITIME was the choice of his party
people. Senatorelect MARITIME is a man of progressive views and
unquestioned integrity and will doubtless rank among the leaders
on the Democratic side of the Senate ~chamber-Exchange.

History.

History is a running account Of how
King Somebody-or-other either did or
did not get to a certain place, which
nobody ever heard of, before King
Somebody-else got there, from which
we are usually supposed to conclude
that 1t would have made quite a diff
ference whether he did or not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history Of the gar
den Of Eden depends upon whether 1t
is related by a man or a woman.
The history Of the American Revolu-
ton reads quite different In English
books from the way 1t reads in our
own books.
History is a bore, not only because
you are unacquainted with the people
who figure in 1t, but because 1t re-
peats itself.-Life.

Worlds Largest Barometer.

The biggest barometer In the world
is in the city of Faenza, Italy. 1t Is a
monument to Torrlcelli, inventor OF
the barometer, who was born In that
city 300 years ago. The scale OF this
barometer is on a basis Of feet where
the ordinary barometer is measured In
inches. The liquid column is thirty
seven feet high at normal. 1t was In
tended to use a thirty-two foot column
Of water, but this was abandoned be-
cause water evaporated too quickly.
Then glycerin was tried, but with this
LIQUID the normal height was only
twenty-seven feet, which was not
enough. Olive oil was chosen finally.
The tube rests against a monumental
pillar of stone. Olive oil is the lightest
liquid yet used for a barometer. When
a lighter one Is made available a taller
barometer may be constructed. Pas
cal made barometers Of water and
wine mixed. Zophar Mills Of New
York made a glycerin barometer, and
