1t is impossible at this distance
to form valid opinion concern
ing the fairness and efficiency OF
the trial of the Camorrists at Vi
terbo, which has resulted in a
series of verdicts of guilty" The
outcome is apparently a surprise
10 public opinion, which expected
acquittals or very mild sentences
because of the lack of direct evil
dence. But the actual verdicts are
a tribute to Italian justice. The
court and jury have acted with in
dependence and courage. since the
Camorra is still supposed to be a
power in Italy.
Many of the features of the long
trial seemed strange to Anglo-Sax-
on readers. At one time SUPER
fetal writers showed disposition
TO ridicule Latin justice. Some
trained American lawyers and jur-
lists have, however, put the pro
ceedings in very different light.
Racial and national characteristics
must always be allowed for. A
trial at Chicago or New York is
very different spectacle from one
at Viterbo or Naples. We do not
expect defendants to shrek, to de-
nounce the judge. to act like mani
acs at any time. But these things
have little to do with the essential
merits of a criminal trial. 1t
scarcely lies in American mouths
to criticise the laws delays" and
the latitudinarianism of Latin JUS
tice." -~.+

$4,000 for Short Stories.

| Readers of that splendid literar,
supplement, the Sunday Magazine
of The Chicago Record Herald
are enjoying a special treat jus
ROW. By clever bit of enterprise
the editor has secured enough O
the choicest stories in the market
to publish one or two each Sunday
for whole year.
The management recently offer.
ed$I o 900 in cash prizes for the best
short stories. at the same time
agreeing to pay all competing
authors their regular rates in add
ltlon, whether they took prizes or
not. This unique cffer has made
it possible for both the most fam
Gus and the most u1ltried authors
to compete on fair terms. Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle, the noted Gre
ator Of Sherlock Holmes, at once
sent word that he would write three
stories for this contest. New auth
ors from Japan, from India, from
England and from remote corners
OF the United States began to send
in tales worthy to compete with
the best. The scheme has proved
an astonishing success, and now
the Record-Herald's readers are
getting the benefit of it every Sun
day.
Among the well-known authors
writing for this contest are Jack
London, Cyrus Townsend Brady,
Charles Belmont Davis, Ellis Park
er Butler, Gertrude Atherton, E. F
Benson, Mary E. Wilkins Free
man. Amelia Rives, Mollie Elliott
Seawell, Edith Sessions Upper,
Eliza Orne White, Wallace Irwin,
Arthur Stanwood Pier, Max Mar
Gin. Justus Miles Forman, Roy
ton, Jacques Futrelle, Owen John
son and scores Of others. Each is
sue of the magazine, of course,
its usual fund of fine pic
lures, good articles, assorted stor-
ies-including Sewell Ford's hum
orous tales of Shorty McCabe-
and one of the best serial novels
Of the year. One does not wonder
at the recent tremendous increase
in the popularity of The Sunday
Record I1erald.

THE THIRD-PARTY CALL.

A call is not platform, and i
would be unfair to demand at thi.
moment full bill of particular.
from the signers of the call for {
new or third party. Yet a few
definite articles of faith have surely
been looked for in the text of the
call. None such can be found
therein. The call. except for its
first paragraph. might be signed by
every citizen out of Jail who de-
serves his freedom.
Who admits that he is opposed
to the commandments delivered at
Sinai? Who is against social and
industrial justice? Who is against
progress, prosperity. government
of the people by the people? Who
prefers revolution to evolution?
Who will defend immoral privi-
lege?
For many years the country has
been striving to bring about in
dustrial and social justice. Re-
form has been the watchword.
Every platform is more and more
progressive, every candidate most
earnestly claims to represent the
people who want progress, justice
and honest government. The call
is. Of course, addressed only to
those who believe that neither of
the great old parties wills" Justice
and reform or has the intelligence
and vigor to fight for these uniyer-
sal desiderata. How many thus
despair of the historic republican
and democratic parties time will
show.
But meantime the leaders of the
proposed new party should ponder
the principles and planks on which
they expect adhcrents to stand. 1t
is not enough to make brilliant
promises. What will be the tariff
policy. the trust policy, the hnan-
cial policy, the labor policy Of the
third party? What does it mean
by social and industrial justice?
Will it be for protection or against
it? Will it offer a scientific test of
legitimate protection? How will
it regulate combinations? What
tests will it apply? How will it
reduce the cost of lividg? How
will it cheaper credit, improve
aanking. prevent furries and pam
les?
Many factors will determine the
future OF the projected third party,
but it is obvious that it must start
with definite ideas and concrete
proposals.

STRANGE CHINESE INDUSTRIES.

In Taochow there are some strange
industries. One is the raising of the

very plentiful in this district and is
sent away by raft to all parts.

Wireless Telesrsphy May Point TO the

WlrsiSsS lelSSfaphS MAY rolnN 30 tne
Why of Tslspathy.
Accepting telepathy as an establish
ed fact, the problem remains how are
we 10 explain it, What Is the mech
anism by which one person is able 10
transmit messages directly and In
simultaneously TO another person, al.
though they may be half the world
apart?
To this question IL must frankly be
admitted no positive answer can as
yet be returned. But some Interesting
hypothesis have lately been advanced.
not by mere theorists. but by eminent
men OF science, who. themselves affirm
Ing the actually OF telepathy, have
given much thought TO the problem OF
Its mode OF operation.
Sir William Crookes, for example,
calling attention TO the marvellous but
as evidenced by the phenomena OF
wireless telegraphy and the Roentgen
rays, urges that here we have quite
possibly an adequate explanation OF
the mystery of telepathy OF wholly
naturalistic basis-that is 10 say, q
basis which enables us TO accept telep-
athy without dislocating our entire
conception OF the physical universe.
1T seems TO me-" he suggests. that
these rays (the Roentgen raysl may
have n possible way OF transplantlng
intelligence which. with few reason
able postulates. may supply the key TO
much that is obscure in physical re-
search. Let IL be assumed that these
rays, or rays OF even higher frequency,
can pass into the brain and act on
some nervous center there. Let Ii be
conceived that the brain contains Il

vocal chords use sound vibrations

telligence) and sends them out with
the velocity OF light TO impinge on the
receiving ganglion OF another brain.
In this same way the phenomena of
telepathy and the transmission OF In
tellgence from one sensitive to anoth-
er through long distances seem to
come into the domain OF law and can
be graSped.
This undoubtedly is the explanation
that most strongly commends itself to
those scientists who courageously ac-
knowledge their belief In telepathy.
Nor do they see any objection to II In
