were selected. There was no exami-
nation and not a single challenge.
American cases are referred to where
it took weeks and even months to
empanel a jury. The most impOr-
tant cases in England, says James
Bryce, former ambassador to the U.
S. require not more than half an
hour in which to select a jury. In a
certain American city Criminal
Court went to trial with murder
case and at the same time Canadian
court just across the line convened.
The Canadian judge disposed of elev-
en- criminal ceses, sentenced one to
be hanged, tried fifteen civil cases
and left the city with all of the cases
disposed of while the American court
had not secured a jury. This shows
that we unnecessarily squander much
time and money in our criminal
courts.

4 NEW PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

On April. I. last year, the Mis-
souri, legislature passed the most
novel and charitable act that has
been recorded in any state. Accord
ing to its provisions, all poor wo-
men living in a county with a stated
population, who have children under
IA years of age, and whose husband
is either dead or in prison, are to re-
ceive $40 a month, and s. additional
for every child under IA years old
after the first one.
This act is not praisewOrthy mere
ly for the charity there is in it. The
precedent is more important. The
state cannot look upon its poor as
burden. They are a natural result
of our social organization. Each
state must provide for its poor just
as it does for the wear and tear of
roads, and the dilapidation of public
Missouri has made the start. rath-
er weak at present, but a start 1t
is hoped that this precedent will be
widely followed in other states

THE SPIRIT OF COLLEGES.

Colleges and universities have a
true defender, a real champion, in
Clayton Sedwick Cooper. The first OF
his series of papers on The Amer
ican Undergraduate" appears in the
current number of the Century Mag
azine.
He defends colleges as they are,
athletics included Even football
Indeed, he shows that colleges today
are far better than they were fifty
years ago. He gives figures to DEM
onstrate that.
He can see a good side to every
thing, even to a post-football game
antic. In one place he says:
A friend of mine had a son who
had been planning for long time
to go to Yale. Shortly before he was
to enter college he went with his
father to see football game between
Yale and Princeton. On this partic-
ular occasion Yale vanquished the
orange and black in a decisive vic
tory. After the game the Yale men
were marching off with their mighty
shouts of triumph. The Princeton
students collected in the middle of
the football field. and before singing
Old Nassau, they cheered with even
greater vigor than they had cheered
AZ any time during the game, and
this time not for Princeton. but for
Yale. The sons of Eli came back
lrom their celebration and stopped
to listen and applaud. AS this mighty
tiger veil was going up from hund-
reds of Princeton throats. and as the
PrincetOnians followed their cheers

SPEED Up THE LAW,

IN the current issue of the Amer
lcan Law Review. of which Dean
John d. Lawson is editor, appears
in the Docket section an interesting
comparison of the procedure in
American and English criminal
cas-s.
m point of speed the English
method is spoken of as the hare and
the American as the tortoise. but it
is said that in no circumstances has
the tortoise ever Overtaken and
passed the hare as it did in the we'll
known fable
Reference is made to Texas case,
in which negro was tried for mur-
der six times by different juries, six
times convicted and sentenced to
death, twice the conviction was af-
irmed by the Court of Appeals and
five times reversed by that tribunal
An English murder case referred to
was that of Dickman. whose trial
opened July 4, 1910. July I, the
prisoner was convicted and sentenced
to death. The case was appealed to
higher court but was confirmed. On
The morning of August 10. 1910, the
convicted man was hanged
comparison is made between the
English and the American forms of
Indictment. The English form is
found to be so plain and simple that
it would be difficult for any advo-
cate TO confuse its meaning. On the
other hand the American indictment
Is three or four times as long. 1t usu-
ally alleges nearly every important
occurance in connection with a
crime. Hence there are many ways
II can be confused and is confused
after the trial. This is not true with
the English for if il is not clear in
meaning the English law requires OBJ
Jections TO be made before the wit
sSes begin to testify Our indict-
ments should be as plain as the Eng
liSh. which say 4 murdered b.
Reference is also made to the time
lost in the selection of a jury. In the
English case the first twelve men

At The Boarding House Table

Mt. Holyoke Cole =, stepped with
the higher education for women and
filled with ardor for their best inter-
ests, has banished pie, apple, pump
kin, mince, and all because, they say,
it induces stupidity. But this is a
mere blind thrown out to a pie-eating
multitude while the real underlying
motive is widely hidden from view.
Mt. HolyOke is going deeper than
mere desire to encourage brain abil-
ity. She is aiming at the preserva-
ton of the very hearth-stOne-Or

homes of her daughters. She is
striking at the root of the divorce
evil, the high cost of living and so
on.
Pie is plebeian. 1t is demOralizing.
1t fastens itself on it's victim Just as
insidiOusly as the liquor habit and
breaks down the character just as

tegrates the home, swells the divorce
rate. Like everything bad for us,

BETTER TERRACE DRAINAGE

Columbia prides herself on hel
prOgresSiveness. yet there has never
been an effort to do away with the
sloppy, muddy sidewalks which al
ways appear after a rain or melting
snow. OF course a certain amount
of water must remain on the side
walks until it evaporates but there
is little excuse for the large amount
on the Columbia walks. In some
portions of the town the streets are
much cleaner after a rain than the
sidewalks.
The trouble is due to the fact that
in most cases the terraces drain di-
rectly upon the walk and the mud is
carried down from them. This could
be averted by following the method
in vogue in many of the larger cities.
There the terraces drain directly
upon a plane a foot or two in width,
a little lower than the walk and be-
tween the walk and the foot of the
terrace. Thus a trough is formed
which receives the water and sedi-
ment from the terraces.

A gregariOus youth of the Univer.
sity has classified the girls of his &C.
quaintance into four divisions &C
cOrding to his experiences. The first
is the Thread-Picker, the clinging
sOulful-eyed. sweet young thing who
picks imaginary threads off his coat,
talks baby-talk to him, thinks every
thing is perfectly grand" and "just
loves music" especially "You Beau
tiful DOLL"
The next is Miss ClOthes-and, the
girl who displays a different gown
for each occasion, keeps him waiting
an hour while she powders her nose,
wears French heels and a V-neck at
20 below zero, and fails to hear even
his best joke when some other up
hOlstering goes by.
A third type is the Highbrowess,
who wears glasses, fiat heels, no rats,
discusses Life and Art with him, and
knocks him off his feet by asking
him if he has read Schopenhauer's
The Umpty-ump of the Umpty-ump-
ness"
Another is the Chronic Fusser,
who seizes upon him as her own,
walks with her hand on his arm,
talks up at him with a helpless,
tru ST ing look makac him corry bar
books for her, parades him up and
down the campus, and otherwise pro-
claims him as her particular proper
ty to the world which interprets his
red wrath as blissful bushes.
The rest are just girls as yet. He
hasn't been able to escape this last
to find out much about them, but he |
has hopes.
