Italian at a Glance,

Mr.. Chesterfield, being invited to a
dinner where he was to sit beside Vi
vacious Italienne, provided himself
with one of those handy little aids to
conversation. an Italian English phrase
book. 1t was his intention to absorb a
sufficient number of conventional eX.
pressions to tide him over the dinner
hour.
So he picked out the Italian for
GOOD evening. | am glad to meet
you" and a few more general state
ments of the sort.
When he found himselfaseated by the
woman he turned to her and made his
opening speech in his most polite tones.
and to his surprise observed that she
giggled.
More than that. she giggled repeat
edly and reminiscently during the din
ner.
Next day he discovered that be had
used the wrong sentence to open his
conversation. Instead of saying Good
evening; | am glad to meet you," he
had expressed in Italian. Good night
will meet you tomorrow."-Chicago

THE MILWAUKEE ELECTION.

A few days since there was held
a municipal election in Milwaukee
which resulted in the defeat OF the
Socialist ticket by an overwhelming
majority. Two years ago Sledel, the
leader of the Socialists, was elected
mayor. This surprising success OF
Siedel was due to general dlscon-
tent of the people over the mlsman-
agement and the maladministratlon
of the political machine, dominated
by Republicans.
Preceding his triumph Mayor Sic
del two years ago was prO1uSe III
promises which he has not fulfilled.
1t is true that he accomplished
some good at the beginning OF his
administration, but he gradually
fell into the methods Of the old
politicians. Instead Of making ap-
pOintmentS on the score OF merit
and of fitness, partisans were re
Warded regardless of their qualIfl-
cations, and the Socialist council
did not measure up to reasonable,
conservative requirements.
In this defeat of the Socialist
candidate for reelection for mayor
and councilmen is emphasized the
fact that the great body of the peo-
pie, especially in municipal affairs,
have determined that political mis-
management is of the past and that
men who on being entrusted with
office fail in their duty must and
shall be removed or defeated, when
ever they shall venture on con-
tinuance of political preferment.
In such expressions of the inde-
pendence of the voters, which is be-
ing demonstrated everywhere, is an
encouraging indication that people
are becoming self-assertive, heed
less of the rules of parties or the
dictates of bosses.
The Caucasian., 1912-04-07

The Atlanta Constitution the other
day quoted a significant sentence by
Judge Robert T. Daniels of the
Georgia Circuit Court. The judge
said:
"The certainty, instead of the Sc
Gritty, of punishment, will do more
than anything to end crime in Geor-
gia. 1t is getting to be the
customary instead Of the eXtraordi-
nary thing for the laws Of the State
to be broken. * 1t is up to the
Judges and the courts to break up
the increase in crime"
Back of judges and courts, how
ever, is public sentiment. Wherc
this t0Ierates violation of what the
public cOnceives to be less import
ant laws with impunity, general dis
regard and disrespect for the law Is
encouraged. Public sentiment al
fects judges and juries, inSenslbly
perhaps, but certainly. The moral
tone Of community is generally
reelected in its courts.
Therefore a general public sentl-
nent in favor of enforcing every
law fairly and impartially, but rig
idly, is the first step toward crime
checking. But the judge is right
Severe penalties inflicted only now
ant then for certain crimes which
happen to rouse public resentment
lave only momentary effect, just
as the mother who corrects her
| children only in fits of anger has
| no control over them. .
II is the certainty that every Of
fense against the law will be fol-
lowed inevitably by its proper pen
atty which checks crime, so far as
ourts can check it.
| 1t is because the courts OF Eng
! land mete out justice swiftly ane
| inevitably to every crime that Eng
! land is more. law-abiding and fret
from crime than the United States

by the failure of the government to
prove its case beyond a reasonable
doubt, and his charge to the jury
was tantamOunt to an order to
bring in a verdict of not guilty.
The Beef Trust seems TO be be
yOnd the reach of the law and the
public has about abandoned nope OF
ever seeing it brought to book IT
the Federal courts for anything it
has done or may yet do. The COM
bine celebrated its victory in legal
battle which covered a period OF ten
years by advancing the price Of the
products it controls. Within few
hours after the jury announced its
verdict the price of pork and bacon
was showed up 15c pound and that
of lard Zoe d pound.
The American people will be
compelled to bear the eXtortlOn
