British justice went on dress parade
in the trial OF that French editor who
wrote derogatory things about King
George. The swift-flying wheels Of
equity showed what they could do

less of It's celebrity, but not even in the

thing quite as striking as this The

object lesson of the Briton's reverence
for the integrity of the crown as we'll
as his natural aversion for technique
in court procedure. Plainly enough,
It was the attack on the kings honor
that so fiercely accelerated these pro-
ceedings, but under ordinary cir
cumstances their courts give scant re-
gard for needless technically.
II The natural British and American
temperaments are not borne out
through their legal processes We
have to get our conceptions Of them
through other channels. Americans
twit their British cousins on their
elaboration, but they have no right
to do so when 1t comes to a COM
parison with the way both countries
handle their court matters. Murder
trials are begun and ended and sem
fences imposed in England within less
time than we sometimes take to
empanel a jury. American lawyers
object to such precipitate haste, fear
ing that justice may be cheated.
Justice certainly is cheated through
the skillful fundamentally of some
lawyers who know how to stave it off
indefinitely and try a case on techni-
calities instead of its merits. So that
We cannot be sure of doing greater in
justice by the straightforward simple
process that eliminates everything but
the essential facts and forms But

done in our own courts.

SURPRISED THE JUDGE.
Congressman Kinkaid's ArdOr Pat In
Cold Storage.


Cold Storage.
Washington Letter in PittsbuFg Post.
Anyone who doesn't believe there is such
a thing as being too industrious and per-
sistent has only to ask Judge Kinkaid of
the Sixth Nebraska district and he will
tell him with emphasis tinged with horror
that there certainly Is. For four years
Judge Kinkald has been industriously and
persistently Fostering the secretary of war
and the military affairs committee of the
house to get favorable action on a bill
introduced by him calling for the payment
to the town OF Crawford in the Sixth Ne
bTaska district of 5000 damages. because
sewage from Fort Robinson, nearby had
contaminated the water supply Of said
town.
The secretary Of war at first not only re-
fused to endorse the bill, but actually sent
communication to the military affairs
committee throwing II down hard Judge
Kinkaid was not discouraged. He camped
on the trail Of the secretary so relentIessly.
and was so urgent and impassioned in his
appeals. that finally the secretary wrote
another communication saying the bill was
all right.
But the obdurate members of the mill
tary committee refused to follow the sec
ieNhI9 anu net AhNOi~
ably on the bill. Judge Kinkaid was still
on the Job, however, as industrious and
persistent and Fostering as ever. He just
made the lives OF the members of the
committee miserable by buttonhollng them
I whenever he met them and insisting that
they really must report out that bill for
SIS 900 for Crawford. Even at presidential
receptions and official dinner parties, Judge
| Kinkaid kept up the good work
Then the explosion came. The commit
! tee worm turned. The military commit
tee met and coldly. calmly. brutally pro-
ceeded TO pass a resolution TO abolish Fort
! Robinson
Now what the League Island navy yard
is TO Philadelphia, Fort Robinson is to the
/ Sixth Nebraska district. When Judge
Kinkaid heard OF the committees action
he was speechless with horror. with wild
eyes and streaming hair, he rushed to the
committee room and begged the members
there to forget he ever had a bill to pas
the town OF Crawford $4,000 and 70 throw
the resolution to abolish Fort Robinson In
the waste basket.
The members OF the committee wouldn
make any promises. They will hold the
Fort Robinson resolution In reserve foi
| a while, to make sure that Judge Kinkaio
never mentions his bill for $4,000 again.

CEASE or THE REPORTER"
Observations of Professor Hope

New York World.
Prof Hugo Munsterbergs experience
with American reporters leads him to the
conclusion. which he sets forth in Nc
Clures Magazine that they are given TO
wilful invention and grotesque exag-
geration Among reckless reporters he
includes trained men who have gone
through the high school Of reporterdom and
acquired a new instinct by which they see
and hear only that which can create
sensation and whose reports become not
only careless but "hopelessly distorted.
The Harvard professor OF psychology re-
CARDS hts experience as probably typical.
There IL better reason to believe that Il
IL exceptional II Is at least contrary to
the experience OF most public men who
have much to do with reporters. News
paper reports OF a subtle psychological by
pOthesis may coneeivably contain errors OF
fact due to an unfamiliarity with techni-
cal terms, and It is equally possible that a
reporters sense OF humor might lead him to
treat an advanced theory Of speculative
thought with too little seriousness
But the amount Of intentional mis-rep-
resentatiOn by reporters Is so small as to
be negligible. Accuracy In presenting the
news is recognized as an essential Of a
newspapers character, and reporters in
divlduAlly, from long practice in Weighing
the credibility of men, gain a perhaps
stronger habit of veracity than obtains
In other professions. Truthfulness is in
dispensable to q reporters professional
