he had apparently a perfectly fair
trial; in all this time scarcely month
went by that some newspaper or
periodical did not point to this case
as one of the most revolving instances
of the laws delays. And at the pres
ent writing, year and nine months
after the crime was committed, thanks
the highest court of New York, this
murderer still remains unwhipped of
justice.
VIVIDLY IN CONTRAST.
In England, whence our laws and
our court systems have come, it is
only four years since any kind of an
appeal from conviction in a murder
case was allowed, and under the new
law, in the rare cases where an ap-
peal is taken, the arguments are heard
usually within a fortnight from the
time of conviction, and the judgment
is either rendered Immediately upon
the conclusion of the argument or with
in a day or two thereafter. And this
appeal is in effect a rehearing of the
entire case. and the Judgment is final
There can be no retrial or any further
proceedings save an appeal to the
pardoning powers.

New Municipal Building Will Tower
$50 Feet Ia the Air.
OF all the big structures in the city
the new municipal building has the
largest steel frame, the height Of
which Is forty stories, including the
tower, which begins at the twenty
sixth story. There we're used for it
26,0O0 tons of steel, several girders
weighing fifty tons each. and some
floor beams were required Of such a
size that many weigh ten tons each.
The building is $50 feet high and
will be the fourth tallest building In
the world when the WoOlworth build
ing, the highest, is completed 1t re-
quired 100000 cubic feet of granite to
incase the steel frame, some of the
base stones weighing as much as six
ty tons each, and more than 1000, 900
square feet Of tile and floor were used.
There Is about an acre of usable
space on every floor, except those in
the tower section, which will be used
by more than 5000 employees of va
rious departments of the city govern
ment that will be accommodated in
the new building. The basement will
have about two acres Of space; which

basement above ground, as the pro-
visions for the subway necessitated
the using of the fourth floor of the
building as the basement for machfn-
cry for elevators and the operating
plant. The building will have thirty
two elevators and four stairways.
The structure, including the land It
covers, will cost between $12,00O,OO0
and $15yOOO,OOO, but despite this enor-
nous expenditure for one building it
will prove a most profitable invest
ment, as ls indicated In a recent re-
port Of Comptroller Prendergast that
the city spends about 81 100000 a year
In rent. The bulk Of the expenditure
will cease when the municipal build
ing is completed.-NewY York Post.

Knocker Versus the

Ebert Hubbard, editor of the
Philistine, when not engaged tel
ling the retail merchant, Edison,
Rockefeller, the q. S. govern
ment and the Lord Almighty
where they are all making griev-
Gus and; .cinexcusable blunders,
sometimes hits upon an idea of
real practical worth. In a re-
cent editorial hestated that God
made the county,, l,g ttt:gE,o nan nan the city.
and the devil the small town. /"
This statement summed up a de-
scription of the altogether too
characteristic condition nf the
American town Of, from five hum
dred to two thousand population,
in which mention was made of
the pull hauling, the political. the
religious. and social cliques, mer-
chants fighting each other tooth
and nail, interminable gossip.
reeking with SANDER and false
hood! public spirit dead, selfish
ness, jealousy-and envy rampant.
Each individual ordivision of the
population belittlihg. discourag-
ing if not actually knitting the en-
terprise of everyone else, Right
here, perhaps, we have stumbled
upon one of the causes of the de-
cline of the small town. Look
up any dead town and nine times
out of ten you will find it is large
ly a community of knockers.
Now. knocking signifies to in
jure or destroy, and doesn't it
stand to reason that where two
thirds of the population of aplace
are engaged in this delectable
occupation that they just natur-
ally are not doing a thing to the
prosperity of that town?
;
It is claimed that knocking ne
yer starts until after a town be-
gins to go bad. but supposing
this is true. when a barrel begins
to leak we do not proceed to stave
it in or sit around and hollar be-
cause our profit is running away,
but we get busy and plug the
E..1..'
leak.
Just so with the small town,
the effect of knocking is deStruc-
tive; on the other hand patri-
otic faith in a place has exactly
the opposite effect, its influence
is creative and in thousand
ways it helps to build place up.
