LAW COURT REFORM THE GREATEST.

TT HERE is no greater evil in this country than the laws de-
ii lays. There is no greater need than that of the reformation
of the conditions that cause these delays. The Wolter muir
der case in New York is cited as a glaring instance, but it can be
matched and exceeded in hundreds of instances. In the civil courts
the longest private purse always has the advantage. This gives
employment and fees to lawyers and therefore there is no violent
protest from that quarter. Our civil courts are frequently courts
of injustice, where the wealthy ltigant has every advantage of the
poorer one and where his lawyers are armed with tricks and de
vices that a court of justice should consistently ignore. In Grim.
inal cases the ability of the accused to pay fees and expenses is
a heavy handicap on justice and tt made greater by the chronic
disposition of appellate judges to lose sight Of justice in their
devotion to technicalites which a cOmmon-sense man would brush
aside as he would a fly. The mere technique of the law is more to
these judges than justice or the welfare of the State and the in
terests of humanity. In the Albany Legislature the proposal has
rheeul made to institute a thorough investigation of the delays of the
law, which have become an unbearable scandal. And the public
see only those cases that are conspicuous. They do not see the
thousands of cases that are hidden in the records of prosecutors
Offices and behind the walls of the jals. A showingup for Essex
county alone for the last five years might astonish the public,

ABOUT MEN,

yice-Chancellor Howell rarely changes
his stern and serious demeanor while
on the bench, but when he does find
occasion to laugh he beams all over.
This rare occasion presented itself re-
Gently, when a witness was on the
stand In a divorce suit. She was relat-
ing the story Of a quarrel she had wit
messed between the husband and wife,
who had separated. in which the hus-
band was said to have abused his wife
and called her anything but e~ndearing
vice-C Chancellor Howell sought
to discover the magnitude of h seri-
BUSINESS of the domestic scrap.
Would you consider the quarrel of
any great importance?" said he to the
woman who was on the stand. "Judg-
ing from my own experience, I
wouldn't replied the witness frankly.
You all know him, you patrons of the
Kinney line, motorman 30s4. Yesterday
while going through Washington street
at q lively clip he stopped the car with
q Jolt; getting off. he ran back and
crawIed under the rear platform of
the car.
Whats the matter? Did we run
over a kid?' asked n gentleman rath-
er inclined to stoutness.
Good stuff" flashed into the mind of
a cub reporter, also on the car. Both
were disillusioned, however, when the
motorman crawled from under the plat
form with a huge horseshoe in his
hand. Holding 1t carefully. so that the
luck wouldn't spill, he boarded the car
and started on his way.
Gee. what luck!" This from the
port1y gentleman.
Hard luck; another good story
spoiled" This from the future city
editor.
THAT fellow makes me SICK" growled
the conductor. "He must have a room
full of horseshoes. Every day he picks
up one or two, and I don't see any luck
coming his way"

THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1. 1912.
MCFARLAND GUILTY OF WxFE-MURDER.

cTNHE conviction of MacFarand by the trial jury yesterday of
ii murder in the first degree involves the extreme penalty. The
similarity of the case of mcfarland to that of Richeson,
the Massachusetts woman murderer, now awaiting the electric
chair, is striking. Richeson gave the poison to his victim and she
used it without knowing its deadly character. Richeson has con-
fessed a motive of murder. In the case of mcfarland the poison
was placed in a bottle which his wife had regularly resorted to
for medicine. The poison was obtained by MacFarland, it was
placed in the bromide bottle habitually used by his wife, the bro
mide was placed in another part of the closet and the poison oc-
cupied its place. 1t was shown that MacFarland had no legitimate
use for the poison. Chief Justice Gummere in his charge said
that even if MacFarland had no intention to cause the death Of
his wife his act was homicide. But the prosecution established an
undoubted motive. mcfarland is a moral peryert. 1t was shown
in the evidence that he sustained illicit relations with a female in
Philadelphia and for that reason he desired to get rid of his wife.
In every aspect of the case MacFarland was shown up in the worst
possible light in his trial and his case does not admit of a spark
of sympathy.

THE PldHT TO FRAME AND ADOPT CHARTERS

eTT HE right of municipalities to home rule in their local affairs
should be imbedded in the organic law. 1t is proposed in
a concurrent resolution introduced in the New York Legis-
lature that a constitutional amendment be submitted to the people
giving power to the Legislature to pass a general law authorizing
cities to hold charter conventions to adopt charter provisions to be
voted on by the people. This would do away with legislative inter
ference with the governments of cities and would be a vast i'm
provment on the commission act by which the New Jersey Legis-
lature prescribes the form of government for the municipalities.
The action of the Legislature on a city charter is always unin-
telgent. The man from Cape May or Sussex has no conception
of what Newark or Jersey City needs and the average legislator
cannot understand why there should be any difference in the char
acteristics and wants of the cities and towns of the State. He
would make them all the same size and kind of government. The
Walsh commission act is an evidence of that density of under
standing. If the municipality had the power to formulate and
adopt a charter for itself without any reference to the Legislature
the question of home rule would be quickly solved and the Legis-
lature would be relieved of a large amount of it's work annually.
There also would be less litigation for the municipalities.

For the Faithful Dog.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
VIII you kindly publish the inscrip-
ton on h monument Of Lord Byron's
Newfoundland dog:
When some proud son of man returns
to earth,
Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth.
The sculptor's art exhausts the pomp
of woe,
And STORED urns record who rests be-
low.
When all is done, Upon the tomb is
seen
Not what he was, but what he should
have been,
But the poor dog, in life the frmest
friend.
The first to welcome. foremost t o de-
fend.
Whose honest heart is all his masters
Who iabors, fights, lives, breathes for
him alone,
Unhonored falls. unnoticed all his
worth.
Denied in heaven. the soul he held on
earth.
While man, vain insect, hopes to be
forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive
heaven,
Ye, who perchance, behold this simple
urn.
Pass on, 1t honors none you mourn,
To mark a friends remains these stones
arise.
I never knew but n n here he
lies.
II Rev. r. Clement thinks the dog
an element of barbarism and a dis
credit to civilization what are we to
think Of some people. THE more I
see of some men the better I like my
dog" Sincerely a friend to justice,

a GAME PRESERVE WELL SELECTED.

6N HE purchase by the State Game Commission of 400 acres
of land and marsh on Barnegat bay for a game preserve
carries out the cherished idea of former President Benedict
g. Kuser. The place has been we'll selected, having plenty of up
land covert and being we'll watered. There is a farmhouse and
Outbuildings for the shelter of the wardens. Government experts
have examined the land and pronounce it ideal for all kinds OF
winged and fourfooted game, including deer. The cost of this
acquisition will be paid out of the income of the commission. A
fish hatchery will be established in this section of the State. By
these means the commission will be enabled to propagate game
and fish to stock the woods and waters of the State without need
of purchasing from private dealers, and for game there will always
be a refuge from the gun of the hunter.

The NEED FOR SUBWAY TRANSPORTATION

I was well pointed out by George McAneny, president of the
II borough of Manhattan, in an address in Philadelphia last Sat
urday, that it is one of the first duties of a municipality To
provide proper transportation facilities for its citizens and that
with the rapid increase in the population of a city this was possibl,
only through the construction of subways. Private capital might
not be willing to invest in such enterprises, as it looks for inme
date profit, in which case it becomes the duty of the municipality
to pledge its credit for the construction of these needed arteries
of transit. The money thus invested should not be regarded as
anything but investment and there are bound to be ample returns
to more than compensate the city for its outlay. Newark has
reached the limit of surface transportation and the counsels OF
Manhattans president apply with full force to our city.

Frank Smith, who pitched last sea-

League, was reared at Tarboro, N.
G., and began playing ball there. He
became the baseball idol Of his fell
low Tarborians, and when George
Leidy, now manager of the San An
tonic team in the Texas League, came
to the town to lure the young phe-
nomenon into faster company, the
whole community showed their resent
ment very decidedly.
II was at the hotel" said Leidy,
telling about it, when a dozen husky.
notwithstanding citizens walked in
on me and began making threats.
They told me that Frank Smith was
going to stay right where he was, and
that if I wished to go on living I'd
better catch a train leaving at 1880
o'clock that night"
What did you say to that?" asked
a listener.
II told them" said Leidy, ITO go to
thunder. I told them that I was a
free-born American citizen, and that l
would stay there a year, if I wanted to.
