.BENEVOLENCE ON
f THE INCREASE

The New York Sun has tabul-
ated the benevolences of 1911.
One is amazed to learn that the
publicly announced benefactions
totalcd $3.50. 100000, more than
d oubling the amount of 1910, and
making new record in the
glorious story of human hene-
ficence.
Millions also were privately
given in this country and the
vast sums were distributed be-
tween miscellaneous objects,
educational purposes and the pro-
motion of social betterment.
Miscellaneous objects received
100000, 900: educational purposes
$13, 100000: and social better
ment $83,5OO,OOO. The largest
gift was Carnegie's $4,000. 600
for the spread of knowledge
among Americans. James Patton
of Chicago gave $4,000, 1000,
to fight consumption. Women
began to give great sums to
Women's colleges. Mrs. Woerish-
offer leaving $75O,OOO to Bryn
Mawr.
Rich mems feelings of RESPONSE
bility to society for unselfish use
of their money is deepening.
More people every year take the
position that they are trustees to
the community.

JUDGES AND JUSTICE

Upon the judge who preside over
cases concerned with loss of
human lives due to criminal.
negligence, or in which criminal
negligence is charged. there rests
IN these days a peculiarly heavy
responsibility. This responsibility
relates both to the colduct of the
trial and the sentence passed in
case of conviction. We pointed
out, after the acquittal of tho
owners of the Triangle shirtwaist
factory, how very largely it was
in the power of the judge in that
case, of both by his charge and by
his ruling in the matter of testi-
mony, to influence the result.
Now there comes from Indian
apnlis a dispatch stating that a
judge in that city had imposed
upon the members of a firm of
contractors a fine of 5000 for a
violation of a city building ordi.
nance which resulted in the loss
Of ten lives through the collapse of
building in course of cunstruc-
ton. This seems almost too shock
ing to be true, and il is entirely
possible that the circumstances
were other than they appear in the
brief dispatch. But it is quite
certain that many of our judges
arc lacking either in the sternness
of ch aracter or in the clearness of
thought which is imperatively
necessary for effective dealing with
this extremely important class of
cases. So long IS the law does not
show, in it's actual administration,
that it means exact obedience to
the regulations enacted for the
protection of the lives of working
men and others, its requirements
will continue to be mUckery. And
this state of Things means on the
one hand, the criminal sacrifice of
human lives, and on the other the
inflaming of the minds of thous-
ands of honest men and women
with fierce indignation against the
existing order of soci,ty.-N. Y.

NEVADA Will Be THE
PRIDE OF THE navy

The battleship Nevada will be
the pride of the American navy
when completed, or one of . pair
Of prides,. for the Oklahoma will
be sister ship. The vessels will
be $50 feet long, 95 feet % inches
wide, and will have a displacement
of 1880 tons. They will have a
contract speed. of 2O.5 knots, and
will mount ten 14-incb and
twenty-one 5-inch guns. The
manner of mounting the big guns
marks distinct advance in Ameri-
can naval architecture. as the two
turrets nearest the ends of the
each ship contain three guns and
the turrets amidship will contain
two. These will be the first
vessels of the navy on which the
guns are thus mounted. Many
advantages are claimed for this
manner of mounting chief among
which is the efficiency in aiming
and the destruction that must
follow when three enormous shells
hit the mark at once.
