TRUTH VS.. EVIDENCE.

regardless of the evidence"
That statement was made to the
moned for the Roosevelt damage case
when he was questioned by the oppos-
ing attorneys. Needless to say, he was
promptly excused from serving on the
jury.
But what a pity! 1t is so clearly ap-
parent what his meaning was. And
the distinction he unwittingly drew is
SO fair.
In order to be just, many a jury has
to make it's decision regardless of the
evidence 1t is the prime object of
every lawyer engaged in a trial to get
before the jury all the evidence he can
which will benefit his client, whether
fairly or not, and to block as far as
possible the admission of all evidence
inimical to his interests, whether fair
ly or not.

after a spirited tilt between opposing
counsel, that certain testimony in dis
pute shall be stricken from the rec

tant And a jury knows when wit
ness is lying quite as often as the law

SAYS UNCLE CAV

| Let us not be harsh. Let US merely
say that the habitual breaker of en-
| gagements is only an incipient thief
| and that a long course of treatment in
/ some refuge for the criminal insane
! might yet make. man of him. Upon
| occasion it has occurred to most OF
us that your suggestion concerning
| boiling in oil or drawing and quarter
| ing is a good one. However, those pleas
ant little punishments of the good old
days are strictly passed. While very
diverting, they were, on the whole, a
trifie severe.
Sometimes one is inclined to think
that the Observation-Disclosures deserves
a more lingering torment. 1t is better,
one will say, after one has cooled down
and forgotten the minutes of nervous
torture that the careless person has
inflicted, to send him away to an in
stitution maintained by the state, where
he may be operated on for insufferable
egotism and general collousness. These
two diseases seem to be at the bottom
of his vicious tendencies.
This is a merciful age-a fact for
which the Observation-Disclosures should
be devoutly thankful. We no longer
believe in the horrible punishments
that crimes deserve. He is both a fool
and a l<nave, and there is really some
thing in that sociological theory which
suggests the hanging of the fools and
knaves and the reformation of MUIR
derers The latter are the more hope
full subjects.
An habitual neglecter of appoint
ments is very mean sort of thief.
He might not put his hand into your
cash drawer and take your money, but
he will take your time, disarrange
your days plans, put you in a bad
humor, and in general way knock
your affairs galley west and then turn
up with a glib excuse, as if he had
done nothing serious.
If you are of a nervous disposition,
he has added the crime of manslaugh-
ter to that of theft. He takes minutes
or days or years from your life-short-
ems your time on earth by worry and
thinks nothing of it. incidentally, he
sends you home at night thinking upon
the beauties of that legal doctrine OF
justifiable homicide.
An insufferable egotism is at the bot
tom of it, He thinks only of his own
comfort and becomes lazy. From lazi-
ness to caliousness is only a STEP and
when he has reached this stage he's
greater menace to society than the
sneak thief. He takes that which is
of more value than the loot of the out
and-out thief and he thinks less upon
his sins Therefore there is less chance
of his reform.
What is needed is an association for
the suppression of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ers. There is great work before sucn
an organization
of tired business men who suffer from
the pests out of the hospitals for the
insane and to start lot OF the pests
themselves in that direction--(Copy-

TROUBLES OF THE FRISCO.

The troubles of the Frisco have
come at an unfortunate time for the
cause of the honestly managed rail-
roads that are DESTROYS of obtaining
permission to advance their rates.
The primary fault for the receiver
ship can not be placed upon low
freight rates, or upon an unaccom-
modating money market. The sys-
TENS gross earnings, notwithstand-
ing the disastrous strikes in the coal
properties of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois last year and this springs
losses from floods, were running at
the highest level in the systems his
tory The outlook for traffic was
good, inasmuch as crop prospects are
excellent. There were serious handi-
caps, undoubtedly, in rising costs of
operation, but the primary fault lies
in the abominable methods en-
pIoyed in building up and financing
the system and especially in over
loading it with guarantees for heavy
payments on account of subsidiaries
In the ups and downs of existence,
the Frisco has been subjected to all
of the reckless methods of modern
combination and ''integration." Its
control of the Chicago & Eastern Illi-
nois, its chief subsidiary, was obtained
on a most extravagant basis, some
thing like $3.50 a share being paid for
the common stock. Ten per cent divi-
dends on that stock were guaranteed
and per cent was guaranteed on
the preferred. That was 10 years ago.
The Chicago & Eastern Illinois is now
to be placed in the hands of receiv-
ers and is to pass back to its former
owners. Thus disintegration follows
Indignation.
The serious part of such a situation
Is that the innocent may be called
upon to suffer with the guilty, or be
forced to prove their innocence in the
court of public opinion.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-06-03
WESTERN OPTIMISM.

Certain vague references to hostile
legislation in connection with the
Frisco receivership are calculated
to produce some uneasiness among in
vestors. Uncertainties regarding tariff
changes. alluded to in Bradstreet's lat
est report, always retard normal BUSH
ness growth. 1t is, therefore, import
ant to lay particular stress on the fact
that in the great West there is, in the
words of Bradstreet's, an utter alb
sence of pessimism.' Most western CEN
tiers, it is further stated, ARE con-
servatively optimistic" and neither ex-
pect nor fear untoward developments
in the financial and business world
The sane and conservative optimism
OF the west, says the Chicago Record
Herald, is doubtless attributable to the
eminently favorable crop prospects, to
the remarkable and steady growth of
the nations foreign commerce. and to
the conviction that the fundamental
conditions are thoroughly sound in the
United States.
The fact is that within the last ten
days or so leading eastern bankers,
manufacturers and merchants have
publicly acknowledged that the opti-
mism of the west is entirely justifi-
able. Opponents of just tariff revision
and high finance" operators may find
it convenient to explain this or that
failure by hostile legislation actual
or threatened But such hints and
generalities should not impress or de-
press the great public.
With our splendid home market, with
abundant wealth from the soil. with
an expanding foreign trade, with fair
prospects of currency and banking re-
form, with the elimination of graft
and extortion from the tariff as fund
amental conditions there is every
reason for the confidence and optimism
of the west. Stock opera tions may be
quieter than one would expect, but in
vestors are merely following the banks
in keeping their funds or demanding
higher dividends. That there is money
enough for desirable issues, the sue
cess of the Chinese loan and other re-
cent fiotations has demonstrated. Peace
in the Balkans, now assured by a sign
ed treaty. will restore boarded millions
to the channels of trade. and easier
money in Europe will mean diminished
pressure on American funds. Even the

Sermonette by Bert Walker: This
hero business is a sadly bungled up af-
fair. The fellow who makes home
run with the bases full receives the
plaudits of the grandstand and the
papers print pictures of him. The man
who is foolish enough to get into an
aeroplane and sail to the skies in the
face of stiff wind is hailed as the
greatest hero of the age. But how about
the fellow who stays away from the
crowd and hides himself in some neg
lected home and wastes his strength
caring for a helpless relative? How
about the little woman who never gets
away from her own doorstep because
she has too much to do? How about
these people,I say. who daily trudge
fearlessly down into the valley of
drudgery and privation. where sickness
and helplessness and forgetfulness
stalk all through the weeks of the
year? How about those who carry the
heavy cross throughout weary hours
of the day and keep it through the
dragging minutes of the night until
the sun grows red in the east Then
you tell me you know hero when you
see him
