Commenting upon the above ex-
tracts from the report OF an American
consul in China an eastern poultry
paper is moved to the following re-
marks:
"When we think of the money that
is needlessly wasted in poultry under
takings of various kinds every year,
it seems too bad that there is none
available to finance the exploration
of the poultry resources of Eastern
Asia. The United States Department
of Agriculture has sent men to search
the world for new plants that might
be better adapted to various areas in
this country than those that we have.
It has also sent representatives to in
vestigate other live stock interest in
the Old World, but none in the inter
ests of poultry culture.
perhaps the abundance of types
and breeds of poultry is taken as an
indication that nothing more of value
Perhaps the fact that our poultry
fanciers do periodically bring some
thing novel from Europe, as we'll as
bring out new varieties here, is sup
posed to show that there is no need
for special investigation. Or, perhaps
it is only that poultrymen have not
asked that such work be done. But
why should not the government send
a competent man to scour the high
ways and byways of Europe and Asia
to see what can be found that might
prove of interest to fanciers or OF

tionably right in asking that a feV
thousands Of the dollars so lavish

So far as size is concerned there is n,
| sensible reason for preferrng the fou

egg produced by American hens
The American egg is all right as t

venient for most purposes than To,

The average hen throughout thu
United States is said by experts t.
consume 100 pounds of feed annually
and produce seven to eight pounds O.
eggs. The average hen on the com
mercial ranches of this country il
believed to consume 80 pounds of as
sorted feed and produce Is pounds o.
eggs. A good strain of fowls in the
hands of thoroughly competent poul
try raisers may be depended on tc
produce 20 pounds of eggs annually
with consumption of from 80 to 1O(
pounds of feed. Taking these middle
figures as a basis for our calculations

10 cents per pound.
Now the Chinese hens lay less fire
quently and there is a tremendous
difference in the size of the fowls.
The Leghorn .outnumbers all other
fowls in this country five to one at
least and-with few exceptions-is in
variably used to stock the commercial
egg ranches. A Leghorn hen weighs
three and one-half pounds. The three

pounds for cocks; on an average the
Chinese fowls are two and halt
times as large as ours and should-it
their eggs we're proportionately large
Lay eggs even larger than those
mentioned in the consular reports.
No doubt, pound for pound, these
different types of chickens consume
about the same amount of food. Il
our Leghorn consumes 90 pounds o.
feed it is safe to say that the lordly
Brahma and the naughty Langshar
get away with double that quantity
1t follows therefore that they ought
to lay eggs weighing four ounces, OF
even more, and lots OF them, but dc
they do it? Our consul's report

A STRANGE RULING.
Editorial in Memphis (TennO
Commercial Appeal.


In overruling the motion for
a new trial in the Frank case in
Atlanta. Ga. it is stated that the
judge, Mr.. Roam, made the fol-
lowing announcement from the
bench:
Il have given this question long
consideration. Il has given me
more concern than any other case
l ever was in. And I want to
say here that, although I heard
the evidence and the arguments
during those 30 days, I do not
know this morning whether Leo
Frank is innocent or guilty. But
I was not the one to be con-
WINGED. The jury was convinced.
and I must approve their verdict
and overdue the motion"
Frank had been convicted of
murder. The verdict was re-
turned by jury of twelve men.
Motion was made for a new trial,
and after arguments were in the
statement quoted is said to have
been made by the court
This statement Of the Judge we
submit TO lawyers skilled in mat
ters Of criminal procedure in the
belief that they, from the legal
point Of view, will agree that the
Judge should have ordered a new
trial.
We think that lawyers hold TO
the principle that in motion for
a new trial the court becomes, as
it were, a juror, and unless he is
convinced beyond a reasonable
doubt Of the guilt Of the accused,
he must grant a new trial
If a judge sustains a verdict
rendered by jury. he then be
comes equal to the jury as a sup
porter Of that verdict If the
judge, then is a supporter Of a
verdict. he is in an illogical po-
sition If he does not know wheth-
er the accused is innocent or
guilty, or that the verdict is right
or wrong.
If the evidence is not sufficient
to let his mind rest easily on the
accuracy of the guilty verdict.

should We decline at any time to
furnish gratuitous army and navy
in promotion Of their interests or
of our joint interests with them,
then We may expect them to tear
up the doctrine as so much waste
paper and as being the product of
our Government presumption.
Although realizing the advan-
tage accruing to the republican
form of governmr-- by so far as
possible keeping monarchical in
fuences out of the reach of Amer
lean republics, still it is a good
deal Of an undertaking for a gov
eminent even as strong as our
own to divide up the world ac-
cording to our predictions and to
determine in advance the line
upon which governmental history
shall run for the next thousand or
ten thousand years.

Editorial Comment on the Frank Case

then he is in a bad way in sus-
tanning it.
Looking at this statement by
the judge from the logical point
Of view Of the layman, an analy-
sis Of it is interesting.
4 do not know this morning
whether Leo Frank is innocent
or guilty" says the judge
In the everyday affairs Of life,
when we do not know that a man
is bad, we must presume that the
man is good. The presumption Of
a mans goodness Of character
goes with him everywhere.
If, after loaring all the evi-
dence, this judge does Mt know.
then he is in a state of doubt
If he is in a state Of doubt he
is uncertain. II he is uncertain.
his mind is fixed on nothing. and
If his mind is fixed on nothing
his mind is incapable Of acting
in any orderly manner.
If the judge, in overruling the
motion for a new trial, did not
know whether the man was guilty
or not guilty, his act was similar
to that Of an infant or an insane
person, because he did a thing
without a reasonable cause.
In this case It does seem that
it was the duty Of TIE judge. fail
ing to be convinced one way OF
the other, to declare the trial no
trial, because 50 far as HIS mind
was concerned it was no trial for
it settled nothing in his mind.
In the last sentence Of his state
ment the judge : Us: But I was
not the one TO be convinced. The
jury was convinced, and 1 must
approve their verdict and over
rule the motion" The judge
then, apparently bases his act
upon the act Of the jury. He then
should not have permitted the
lawyers to consume time in argI-
ing for a new trial
In effect he states that The
iury's verdict was a finali-y win
him. regardless Of what he
thought or didn't think. There
fore he should have saved me
attorneys { r both sides the labor
Of preparing briefs for a1H

The Price of the Monroe Doctrine


WYE are discovering in the
w Monroe Doctrine mean
ing not exactly contem-
plated when originally PROFOUND
ed by President Monroe, or rather
by John Quincy Adams. Every
doctrine has to be worked awhile
before it gives up its full import
and scope.
The doctrine was a kind Of con-
tract, although definitely signed
by only one of the contracting par
ties, which leaves the other party
free to disregard 1t whenever it
sees fit. 1t was the statement on
our part that We would let the
Eastern world alone with the un-
derstanding that the Eastern
world should let us alone, par
ticularly the Central and South
American Republics.
