RoME. July 22.-According to the Ital-
Ian rules. Of criminal procedure an ac-
custd person Is examined Immediately
after arrest by an investigating or ex-
amiuins Judge, who conducts a secret pre-
linn nary inquiry. and when this inquiry
is concluded the accused person IL cited
for trial There Is no fixed time within
which the accused person must he tried
and occasionally the preliminary inquiry
lasts year or more.
In the case of Porter Charlton. the
Young American who Is to be- tried for
the murder of his wife NJ Como four
years ago the preliminary inquiry re-
maintd In allowance until September I
last. when the prisoner reached Como
after nearly three years in America fight
ing eNtradition. shortly after Charlton's
arrival N Italy the criminal code was
reformed and preliminary inquiries were
supposed TO have been FASTENED
The expected advantages Of the reform
have not. 1t seems benefited the first
American who is to be tried In italy for
wife murder. as an Indictment will not
he found until next November. OF course
special reasons are given for tbs delay.
The inquiry under the old code was based
on the so-called inqulsitorial system. and
the law presumed the prisoner to be guilty
unless he proved his innocence. The OBJ
jeCt of the inquiry was. therefore. TO force
the prisoner to confess his guilt. and even
when he pleaded guilty. as In the case OF
Charlton. the Judge had to ascertain
whether or not his plea was genuine.
one OF the most important reforms re-
Gently introduced in criminal procedure
consisted IN the attenuation OF the inquis.-
toiial system. The presumption OF quit
was not abolished and the preliminary in
quiry remained secret. but the examining
judge was given the power to defend, IN
a way. besides accusing the prisoner. In
examining the evidence OF the case the
Judge VINO Is conducting Charltons in

HELPING THE FARMER.

tS HE two little South American republics Oh Uruguay
and Paraguay, so unimportant on the maps tnat
4 MANY people few years out OF school nave ABOUT
forgotten their existence have been developing some
experiences that could well be studied by this country
Each is an agricultural country; each has 6een ousy oe
vsing methods to attract immigration and development
Each regarding agriculture as the industry on which all
others must rest have gone in for plans OF helping the
farmer that are radical and yet have thus far produced
excellent results.
JJruguay's government found farmers paying outra-
peous rates Of interest on money. big national bank
was organized Money was secured through this bank,
from European centres and lent to the farmers at rates
rather less than half those that had previously prevailed
In Paraguay the Banco Agrcola or agricultural bank
of the nation has $40O0OOO capital and the larger part
of this is lent to farmers plan by which 1t IS pald
back in annual instaments extending over period OF
fifteen years This bank on behalf OF the government
furnishes free seeds and helps farmers to buy imple
ments, fence wire, etc.
When an immigrant comes in and declares his purpose
to become citizen he receives about thirty of land
and as soon as he makes certain improvements required
by law he has as much conveyed to him. The bank
will advance him cash up to S5 acre to make improve
ments and to produce the first crop.
These measures Of course, are vastly more radical
than anybody dreams of taking in behalf OF American
agriculture and than American farmers want Tor they
ask no charity of anybody But they teach one lesson
that should guide in formulating system OF rural IL
nance here They prove that the combination of the soil
and the man owning it makes fine security In Uruguay
and Paraguay as in Ireland and in the north Of Europe
under the Landschaften SYSTEM experience has demon
strated that this kind of banking is SAFE The farmer is
helped and the banker at the time profits by help
ing him.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Sv& HE political outlook far as the governorship is
concerned is pretty badly mixed There are as many
opinions as to who is in the lead there are candi
dates These opinions are, of course most of them
"the thought that was fathered by the wish Putting
all personal feeling out Of the matter and looking at it
codboodedy there seems to be but little doubt that the
Republican nomination lies between General Crawford
and Dr. Withycombe with Crawford the stronger and
Gus Moser an unknown quantity 1t is understood the
wet element is strongly behind him. and with the vote
divided it is possible for him to pull through and capture
the nomination. We do not know that the wet element
has concentrated on him. but such is alleged to be the
fact If they have he is dangerous to all his opponents
Johns is making an active campaign and seems to be
gaining some support On the Democratic side it seems
to have settled down to fight between Bennett and
Smith with the former rather the avorte in the race
although the Manning adherents are making strong
claims of victory This is the way the situation sizes up
and it looks as though the final round would be between
Bennett and Crawford with Smith and Manning neck
and neck for second place in the Democratic primary
However this is not prediction-ts guess-because
there is really no basis upon which to base real cacua

near the plant is pronounced to be of

output of the Salem plant exceeds that
of any other single plant on this coast.

COMPROMISE AN 1Mposs1B1L1rY.

at least as often as every six years.

Demand For Iron and Steel

While the buying movement in the
iron market is not as large as the bus
mess world would like to see it, it is
nevertheless large enough to indicate
very decided improvement over
trading in the early part of November.
Consumers of foundry iron in the
eastern territory are now hurrying to
place orders for their requirements for
the first half of 1915. Seveal large
contracts in Buffalo have been closed,
and several contracts of large tonnage
are pending in the Birmingham dis
trict. The price scale remains un-
changed, but if buying continues with
any degree of briskness there will nat
urally be some advance within the
next week or two. An increase in the
booking of small miscellaneous orders
for steel is reported.
Public sentiment is strongly in favor
of the per cent freight rate increase
asked for by the eastern carriers. Six
months ago, when the petition of the
railroads was being considered by the
Interstate Commerce commission, Ger.
tain interests suggested that the rail
roads were "bluffing;" that they were
not as bad off as they said they were
But no intelligent observer thinks that
way about the transportation lines. II
is a well known fact that most of the
railroads have been operating at {
loss for sometime past and that they
are in no condition to raise money
with which to buy needed equipment

per cent increase asked for, an i'm

dustry in this part of the country

The Corporations Humane Policy

M. H. Mcdowell of Ensley, one of
the best informed men on industrial
conditions in the Birmingham district,
called attention in letter to the Age
Herald in Sundays issue to the fact
that nearly all the corporations were
operating certain of their mines to
give employment to their men, even
though operations were carried on at
a loss.
The situation, he says, would have
been many times worse than it is had
it not been for the "broad and humane
policy" adopted by the corporations,
led by President George G. Crawford
of the Tennessee company. He cited
as an example the policy of operating
the great Edgewater mine, which has
very low cost sheet, on half time, so
as to divide the work among "the
costlier and older workings" That
mine, he thinks, might produce all
the coal to meet the present shipping
demand, but if it were operated to
full capacity other mines would be
shot down and there would be conse-
quent suffering.
Fifteen years ago. says Mr.. Nc
Dowell, "such policy was undreamed
of, and 10 years ago it was only a
dream. Today it is reality, and to
Mr.. Crawford much of the credit is
due" We're it not true, Mr.. Mellow
ell says, the suffering would have
been appalling.
Mr.. McDowell's letter was timely
and all the more gracious because it
was written without the knowledge or
consent of Mr.. Crawford or the head
of any other corporation. He made a
plain statement of facts that the pub
lie might know and appreciate the sit
uation.
