The Caillaux Trial.

American readers of the reports of the
Caillaux trial in Paris will doubtless con-
tinue to be surprised at the unusual fea-
lures of that proceeding, SO different
from all American court processes. A
French criminal trial is always more or
less 4 divertins spectacle. Stump speeches
are quite the usual thing for both wit
as it is observed in this country has but
little bearing upon the case. Certain limi-
tations are observed in the routine ex-
animation of witnesses. but the utmost
freedom of utterance is granted to i'm
portant personages who may appear 1t
will be remembered that in the Zola
trial, in connection with the Dreyfus
affair there was more Of eloquence than
of actual evidence in court, and the same
will doubtless be true Of the Caillaux
prosecution. The accused interrupts free
ly, and interjects protests and explana-
tions that are unrebuked by the court.
In this respect. however. there is a nota-
BILE parallel in the trial Of Guiteau for the
Interruptions. however. were regarded as
a nuisance that had to be tolerated, and
not as right possessed by the accused.
They became the subject of an interest
ing discussion regarding the prisoners s
sanity, which was the direct issue of the
case. Perhaps the most interesting Incl

remarks on that occasion have so irri-

minister comes to the kings defense
by assuming full responsibility for his

permitted to stand by his declaration. but

The present occupant of the throne oil
England is not of nature to force an
issue on the score of the kings prerog-
ative and responsibility. He seems to
have developed a compromising dispo-
sition. content to avoid issues His activ-
ity in the Ulster question is the more
striking because of his failure during the
four years of his reign in any single
instance to obtrude his personality into
the political situation, and in this matter
he is obviously trying to find d way out
of the difficulty without precipltat.nS

coercion, a charge for which there does
not seem to be the least foundation.
The only hook which the Ulster liberals
have on which to hang the charge OF
part:sanship against the king Is the
phrase 1.-The cry of civil war is on the
lips of the most responsible and sober
minded of my people, which has been
interpreted to mean a pronounced lean

ancient kingly predictions.

King George.

The threat of civil war involved in the
Ulster crisis Is not the only critical issue
which the case holds for the people of
Great Britain and Ireland. King Georges
intervention as mediator has precipitated
a question of really more serious conse-
quence. which though probably not i'm
mediately leading to a test. is neverthe-
less fairly certain to become a matter
of first moment sooner or later The
kings position in the present political
organization in Great Britain is barely
that of a figurehead. He has virtually
no initiative. and no absolute response

as a matter of course. and he names for
office and for honors the men who are
chosen for preferment by the leaders i'm
mediately in charge of the majority party
in parliament. When he speaks In public
upon an important question his speech

New York.

The New York democratic situation has
been put up to- the President. The New
York bull moose situation is up to- Mr.
Roosevelt. If the republicans had a lead
er of accepted national authority their
New York situation would be put up to-
him. Pity the sorrows of Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Roosevelt.
If Mr.. Wilson accepts, and tries to
drive the unruly democratic team, he will
have little time to devote to politics else
where this year True, he will have help.
Two members of his cabinet are from New
York, the mayor of New York city is a
friend, and the collector of the port is a
friend and one Of his appointees.
But neither Mr.. McAdoo nor Mr.. Red

tics. Until two Years ago Mr.. McAdoo
was unknown in political circles. having
devoted his time most successfully to pri-
vate business. Until called to the cabi-
net Mr.. Redfield was practically unknown
outside his congressional district. which
had sent him to Congress And both
Mayor Mitchell and Collector Malone are
young and inexperienced.
In his day Mr.. Cleveland when Presi-
dent had to take charge in New York
on more than one occasion when matters
became tangled, but he had advantages
which MIR. Wilson does not enjoy. To
begin with, he was a New Yorker him
self. and familiar with the neld. And
then he had help from men even more
capable and familiar with the field than
himself
Mr.. Whitney was at their head-a most
astute politician, and among the smooth

as it is now, a source of trouble, but
Mr.. Whitney could always manage Mr..
Croker.
Daniel Manning was close second,
and his death was a great loss to Mr..
Cleveland. He was very influential up
state and knew how to manipulate the
unruly. AS Secretary of the Treasury In
the early part of the first administration
he had his hands full composing rows
over patronage. but did his work well.
During both administrations Daniel $.
Lamont was treasure for his chief, to
whom he was not only loyal as an Off

But even Mr. Cleveland, SO we'll served
and supported, failed in the end; and
was so unpopular in New York at the
close of his second administration he
took UP residence in New Jersey and
never participated in New York politics
again.
All those men are dead: and since their
day New York democrats have been run

not be able to reduce them to effective

Sidewalk Traffic Rule.
From the Pittsburgh Post.

From the Pittsburgh Post.
The announcement that the safety de-
partment is making a survey to deter
mine the advisability of an order for one
way traffic on the sidewalks in the con-
gested sections will enlist more than ordi-
nary attention. The suggestion has been
made several times in recent months that
this plan probably would solve the trou-
BILE, but there has been no demand for 1t
because Of the belief that it would be an
infringement on the right of individuals
to travel in the direction they pleased.
1t will be remembered that the same OBJ
lection was raised to one-way vehicular
traffic. the drivers contending that they
would be inconvenienced. that time would
%a Iost and confusion created On the
contrary. several years Of experience
proves that there is less confusion on the
one-way streets. traffic moves smoothly
and blockades are the exception rather
than the rule.

A Trolley Collision.

A head-on trolley collision occurred
last evening at South Norwalk, Conn,
Q heavily loaded church mission eXcur-
sion car smashing full speed into a
freight car laden with beer. coming in
an opposite direction on a single track.
Four We're killed and thirty were hurt,
some of them fatally. 1t seems to be
the typical one-track trolley line that
is to be found in different parts of the
country. 1t is supposed to be pro-
tected" by the installation of electric
signal lights about 500 feet apart. The
collision occurred just half way be-
tween two of these lights.
The maintenance of single track lines
is constant invitation to disaster. and
should be prohibited by public utilities
commissions and other authorities.
There is no present justification for
maintaining such systems. There are a
few of these lines around Washington.
which should be replaced with double
track systems as quickly as the state
authorities under whose Jurisdiction
they fall can act. No single track road
can ever be made safe by the adoption
OF so-called protective devices, as re-
peated disasters positively prove.
The best devised schedules and the
most careful regulations fail in emer-
Senctes. In this latest instance the
running schedules of the lines were all
disorganized because several hundred
children were being carried on a picnic
in number of cars. The freight car
was supposedly running at its own risk
that is to say. moving from switch to
switch on signal Yet with all the sup
posed provisions to prevent collisions
one occurred. and lives were DESTROYED
that should now stand as proof OF
criminal liability on the part of the
management undertaking to operate
SUCH a dangerous system.
