A VOICE FROM THE BENCH.

Justice Wesley o. Howard, of the appellate
bench of New York. has raised from his place on the
bench a voice of sympathy for the current criticism
of judicial methods. Justice Howard will be under
stood by the rank and file of people who believe and
demand that substantial justice should be done as
among all classes of people. His utterances will
perchance sound extreme and dangerous to those
people who see nothing to crticise in the admnstra-
ton of justice by our courts. But his acclamers
will be the vast majority of sincere thinkers
After citing instances Of inequitable treatment
of rich and poor at the hands Of the courts whereby
great malefactors escape with inadequate sentences
while unfortunates without social or financial infu-
ence suffer extreme penalties, Justice Howard pro-
ceeded:
The people becoming impatient with these dis
crepancies of justice, and they demanding with
louder voice each day that there be reform II is
much reason for it. . Unless the judges act the
people will act If they do not the recall they
will revise the Constitution and create new courts
courts that will do rough justice do summary
Justice: courts close TO the people; courts
without technicalities sophstry and delay and whero
substantial right prevails
Which means that unless reform comes from the
inside it will be imposed from the outside. And it
is all true Fortunately, Justice Howard is not alone
among jurists, number of wnom recently have
sounded similarly sensible warnings.

session. This will sit next month, and then the
measure, about which the British suffragettes are
now storming, will probably start again on its way

FAILURE OF EUROPEAN DIPLOMACY.

If war is actually resumed in the Balkan penn-
sula it will be owing to the abject and signal failure
of European diplomacy. There is no justification for
further sacrifice of life and treasure. 1t can have
only outcome. The Turk IS beaten, and the con-
fcssion of European ncompetency, which is involved
in permitting war to be resumed is also an adnis-
sion that at the end of another campaign Europe
will be unable to contribute anything important to
make the final settlement satisfactory. Rather.
the resumption Of fighting opens the way to the
blackmang project of the Roumanian government,
which is again threatening to invade Bulgaria and
seize slice of territory which the fighting men of
that heroic little country are occupied between Adri-
anople and at Tchatalja.
If Roumania shall take advantage now of the
preoccupation of Bulgaria and attempt the seizure
OF Silisria, it only that there will be an
other war after the present one is ended Certainly
the powers ought 10 have enough influence, pathetic
as has been the futtyof their efforts thus far, TO
prevent such bod and bald hoId-up Of Bulgaria.
In the end as already intiulated hostile move by
Roumania will mean that the veteran and victorious
army of Bulgaria will sweep the Roumanians from
Bulgarian soil, and that a difficulty will stand
in the way of peace and consolidation of civilized in
stitutions in the peninsula. Ei

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL DECISION

The House decision in favor of the Greek temple
memorial to Lincoln, as against the Gettysburg high
way, was reached by majority of FIVE to one; a
majority so emphatic to be gratifying in tnat it
must end that disagreeable debate.
The memorial on the Mall is, moreover long
step toward the definite adoption, and the still further
development of the splendid plan for Identification of
Washington. The memorial bridge will come next;
indeed, its coming was foreshadowed in various
speeches on the House floor as step to be taken
in the near future. The memorial bridge means a
splendid avenue to Arlington and Mt. Vernon; and
Congressman Mann's prophecy of a splendid highway
between Washington and Richmond, and national
memorial to Jefferson Davis in the city which was
the capital CT the Confederacy, is one which must
be viewed with satisfaction by every American VINO

PASSAGE OF THE PAGE BILL.

. Senator Carroll S. Page of Vermont is entitled
to more than congratulations his successful fight
for the vocational education bill. As between the
Smith-Lever measure and the Page plan if was onIy
choice between good and desirable measures for
national encouragement of sane practical industrial
education. But the Page measure was so obviously
preferable so plainly surveyed the field with wider
and truer vision that there can be little uncertainty
as to the propriety of the choice which the Senate
has made
The House is committed to the Smith Lever plan,
which looks to appropriation of about So 100000 for
agricultural extension work; that is carving drecv
to the farmers, through experiment and demonstra-
ton work, the results of scientific work in the De-
partmen of Agriculture, experiment stations, etc.
This is an excellent and very necessary work But
that was as far as the Smth-Lever plan went. On
the other hand the Page bill, while embracing all
this added carefully developed plans for systematic
endowment by the nation, in cooperation with the
States, Of agricultural, Industrial, and ,,;nestic
science education. 1t is an ambitious project and
the hands of men who wish to amellordte those con
ditions which contribute to the present nigh q st of
living. Ii all looks to the one great desideraum in
agriculture and industry: the promotion of eff
cheney, the increase of intenscaton the pro.iu tion
of better results given investments CT land AMI
plant and labor.
In conference the House will try to insist upon its
own measure, and it is to be hoped that the more
liberal view win at last prevail, at least in part
