Judge ana jury.

From the Cleveland Plsin Dealer.
A Boston lawyer. Charles A. De-
Courcy. makes a common sense sugges-
tion for the betterment Of American
criminal trials. In addressing the Amer
lean Institute Of Criminal Law and
Criminology At Milwaukee, Mr.. De-
Courcy has voiced the opinion that the
average judicial instruction to . jury
serves the purpose Of obscuring the is-
sues and confusing the jurors. He rec
omrnends that judges temporarily for
get legal phraseology and intrieacies and
talk to juries In the language which
juries are accustomed, and which they
can understand without the aid Of an Ina
terpreter. Inasmuch as the charge to
fhe Jury II intended as an Interpretation
and not as an obfusca:ion. there can be
little objection to the stand taken by Mr.
DeCourcy.
posed Of men certainly not above aver
sire to well and truly try their cases
and render Just verdicts cannot be doubt
ed. The efforts Of both prosecution and
defense are too frequently directed to-
ward establishing state OF mental con-
fus!on. The judge In his final charge
should endeavor to clear this away. He
should remember that his audience IL not
an audience OF lawyers or Of learned
men. Simple and direct charges might
conceivably lessen the number Of dis
agreements. and might bring Just YER
diets In place of the miscarriages d
justice that are 80 common in American
criminal courts.

Str1w Votes.

Straw votes count for little or moth.
ing to observers whose rec ollection OF
politics runs back ten year 5. We can
recall the straw vote taken by one oi
the leading newspapers in 1904, a few
weeks before the election, the burden OF
which was that Judge Parker would
carry New York State by more than
10000 plurality, whereas the State
went Republican with a rush. f.
The straw vote honestly taken is apt
to be delusive, being necessarily lim-
tied to very small fractional part of
the electorate. As an illustration. it
appears that in one of the New England
States the number of voters canvassed
by a leading newspaper was only about
4oo or decimal part of I per cent of
the electorate.
Where the straw vote is made 10
for political effect the operation does

Lack Of syytem in Budgets.

PRESIDENT Taft's firm stand n d.
recting the orderly preparation of =
budget of the estimated Federal ex-
penditures, in spite of the apparent ef-
fort of Congress at its last session to
insist upon a continuance Of the pre-
vious confusing methods, calls for
strong support. Mr.. Taft has done his
best to reorgani,e the national finances,
and has repeatedly exposed the lack on
the part Of Congress Of any systematic
consideration of expenditures with ref
erence to the probable amount Of rev.
enue.
No business man coGld run his af-
fairs in such fashion without soiag into
Bankruptcy. No other important gov,
ernmeat conducts its finances wish such
hack Of system, and the only thing that
has enabled our government 70 ri
aleng has been the constant growth md
prosperity Of the country md the con
segdent increase in TIE national reye

Saves 1000. 900 Per Year.

The record of the California Rail.
road commission is one of the most
satisfactory in the United States.
California has a commission which is
receiving the hearty cooperation of its
citizens. In eighteen months it has
saved the people of the State, in rail.
road tolls alone, at the rate of $7oooooc
per annum. The total cost of the
commission, including salaries, furni.
ture and equipment, is $roaso6Io q
year. 1t is engaged at present in !,
scrutiny of the books OF the 1900 odd
public service corporations in that
State, and when it gets through il
promises that there will not be a gill
Of water in the stocks and bonds OF
any of these corporations that will not
be squeezed out.

The Speed Mania.

From the Chicago RecuNfHeraA.
Yes. sir" said the man who had hia
feet in a chair in the smoking compart-
ment Of the Pullman car. you can trail
nearly every railroad accident to the
mania for speed. Safety is a secondary
consideration. The first object il to get
there in . hurry. Look at the adver-
tisements Of the different railroads.
You'n see that speed is always empha-
si1ed. II one road can make the run
from New York to Chicago in twenty
minutes less time than II takes on some
other road the fact Is played up In big
type. ~ II II were the most important
thing in the world. Tho public has gone
crazy over this matter Of rushing Get
there quick II the great object We've
rot to be educated up to the idea that
speed IL not the only thing which should
be considered. The man who thinks his
time is so important that the gain or
loss of an hour is vital ought 70 be
chucked into n well and allowed to cool
on. Say, porter. how are We running?
Seems to me this train Il merely creep
ing along"
"Yes, sah. We're about twenty minutes

track unsafe along hepe and we got to
