INSANITY DENFENsEs.

An insanity commission has apparently made
short work OF the prospective defense OF
Joshua A. Raines, who killed Roanoke school
teacher, apparently in cold blood on account OF
neighborhood gossip,
We are always glad to record progress away
from what at one time was a regular cult In
criminology designed to make homicide both
pleasant and safe Somehow. we have never
been able to reconcile the safety OF the sup
posed maniac with the graves which he fills.
We have never been able to discern the theory
by which the State licenses an individual to
kill first and become crazy afterwards. In the
common sense view OF society, Il would appear
that the thing to do with homicidal mania Is
IT, place 1t definitely where II cannot be ex-
pec,ed to exercise itself again. So far as the
public Is concerned ii matters very little
whether the man who gets bullet through his
spleen accumulates it from a revolver in the
hands OF man sane. or insane. The results
and complications are equally distressing in
either event II we are to excuse all killings
IA cold blood on the ground that they are not
the acts OF reasonable man and therefore not
Of man who can be held legally responsible.

ROOSEVELT. FAREWELL.

The decisive defeat OF Roosevelt in the New
York primary is no more than the official
interment of an already decomposed hope
Roosevelt and his allies scented demand
which had no more than nervous existence
to those whose eager nostrils winnowed the
breeze for what they wished to find In it. In
fact. they created the wind which they inter-
preted, They raised the shout which they
followed They framed the words of the man
date and gave reluctant obedience to their
own demands. Nothing has ever happened
which is quite SO salutary in American politics
as this refusal of the public to follow the invi-
tatiA OF the Roosevelt press agency.
OF course. Mr.. Roosevelt is crying fraud. u
He can do this In safety In the circumstances
Of the primary for which he fought SO hard.
which he himself sought to make moral issue
character OF Roosevelt is such as to let no
fraud get by without a salutation. The
fourteen foot ballot was doubtless perplexing
to the alien vote 1t also put great embarrass-
ment upon the once blithe and efficient repeater.
All in ALL with such finished hands on both
sides the fence, we may be safe in esteeming
the fraud" a standon. Colonel Roosevelt has
had fine opportunity to discover in New York
what the mass Of the people think Of him. We
could wish that he might deduce from the
result what every one else realizes.
After New York, to say nothing OF
North Dakota. or what Is going to hap
pen In Massachusetts, and Maine within the
next few weeks. the political situation Is
simplihed in the Republican party to the nomi-
nation OF President Taft. That is what every
body has seen who has resisted the temptation
10 take off his shirt or tear his hair, as his
hopes or fears may have indicated. The polt-
tical question will. therefore. be sanely drawn
on principle. always provided the Democratic
, conxen4lnn shall act wisely. A weak candidate
at Baltimore might well result in the re-elec-
ton of a well-meaning man in whose construc-
tive ability the American people have little
confidence. With Roosevelt definitely elimina-
ted and La Toilette distanced. the Democrats
have an opportunity which nothing short OF a
genius for folly avail TO destroy.

tho change Of the dress OF the Chinese With
the cutting off of the queues has come great
demand for foreign hats and caps in China:

that recently store in that city sold more

caps in a week. This change In headwear
has marked tendency towards other changes
In dress In imitation Of Western styles which
is threatening to seriously reduce the demand

influential Chinese are advising against this
sudden change Of dress which would injuriously
affect home manufactures.
The number OF queues cut in Hongkong alone
during the week following the inauguration

This. porbably. will bark back to the brain
storm. and Confessional insanity" periods In
our confused system of murder trials. Such de-
lenses are, as a matter of fact, about as much
out of date as lightning rods They are based
on a fundamental misconception OF the duty
of the law toward society That duty is the duty
o. protection. 1t should not be compromised by
theory or supposition. 1t should deal with
facts, OF which the sort OF ex post facto insan-
ity that manifests itself only after Indictment
is one of the most curious.
Insanity Is far more prevalent. no doubt. than
appears. One has only to think intently on
the subject of where he himself lives In his
own head to admit SO obvious a fact. But to
put premium on the universal ego by per-
hitting 1t to manifest itself In the destruction
Of the neighbor who offends 1t, is to make a
farce Of the only power upon which an already
weakened privilege of liberty can hope to even
partially depend.
