THE CAILLAUX TRIAD.

So noticeable have been the differ
ences between the French and Ameri-
can systems of criminal procedure, as
shown in the course of Nine. Call
laux's trial, that there may be some
disposition here to see in the woman's
acquittal a natural result of conduct
ing the case in a way not less shock
Ing to u ideas of legal propriety
than is the verdict itself. This Is a
hasty conclusion. however. for it ig-
nores the fact that though our GRIM
inal procedure is so different from
that Of the French. our juries are
amenable to about the same infu-
ences and are equally FESTIVE under
restrictions that are designed to pre-
vent them from deciding questions
in court as they do outside.
In this country, too, there is a
strong tendency to put the Crime of
passion" in a category by itself, es-
and most especially if the woman be
fairly well equipped with physical and
mental attractiveness. That is why
Nine. Caillaux was acquitted, not be-
cause u rules Of evidence were en-
tirely ignored in her trial, not be-
cause the behavior Of her judges was
80 unlike that to which we are &C
customed, not because almost anybody
who chose was allowed to make long,
emotional speeches on almost any
subject that happened to interest
him.
The questions nominally answered
by the Jurors were simply enough,
but those to which they really re-
piled were different, and not a few re-
lated to the character of the man who
was shot, his record as a journalist,
and the amount of ~provocation he had
given by the publication Of private
letters affecting a woman's reputa-
ton. The curse of an American jury
would, or at least might, have been
about the same.
1t is well known hat our jurors,
though told SO impressively that the
consequences Of their decisions do not
concern them, simply will not convict
when they know hat the conse-
quences Of it will be more severe than
they think is right. The consider
the circumstances rather han the
law, and they have let many a de-
PENDANT go who was technically guilty.
Critics of the French should remem-
Der that though killings by women
are not infrequent in this country, it
takes a good memory to recall even
one murderess who has been sent to
the gallows or the electric chair. And
not M of them was a Nine. Caillaux.

THEY sOWED. WE HARVEST.

Chicago Herald: In the face of an
impending world conflict the United
States is today in a better position
thar any. of the great powers Of the
world.
Whence comes it that. with the
world trembling with the threat Of
war, this country feels secure? Why
Is not the United States one of the re-
luctant nations that may be drawn
into a conflict that it would give al
most anything to avoid?
1t comes from the wise policy in
augurated at the beginning of this
government. 1t comes from a con-
slant adherence to the spirit and the
letter of the weighty counsel of George
washington that we should have no
~"entangling alliances with other ma
lions.
Germany wants no war, but her al
1iances with Austria may drag her
into it. France wants no war, but
the alliance with Russia may embroil
her. England wants no war, but the
"entente cordiale'' may bring her into
conflict.
The outstanding fact of the Euro
pean situation today is that four
great nations that do not want war
may be dragged into it by their alli-
ances. The outstanding fact of the
American situation today is that we
don't van war and there is no prob
ability of our having it.
How different it would be if we had
an offensive and defensive alliance
with England or any other great ma
ton or group of nations! What anx-
iety all over the country! What pos
sibility of being forced into a war
with which we had no sympathy, a
war begun on grounds wholly dispro-
portioned to the tremendous conse-
quences that may ensue!
At times, in our pride Of progress,
the wisdom Of the fathers seems
weak. We think Of it as largely un-
suited to the exigencies Of a newer
time, as the product OF men with a
necessarily narrower outlook than
ours.
Then a situation like the present
n rises, a situation whose bigness
IS only matched by the bigness Of the
men who anticipated and provided
against just SUCH a contingency over a
y hundred years ago Then we realize
that q great principle has been hand
ed down to US that is worth millions
In tien, billions in money.
Seldom. II ever. does the modern
~statesnan ascend the lofty peak OF
patriotic vision which George wash
ington ascended when he gave Amer
1caS ~ wisest watchword-No en-
tAhgling aliiances.'

STATE BANKS IN
GOOD CONDITION
Report of Public Examiner
Shows Increased Re-
sources in Year.

Banks of North Dakota operating
under state charters, showed an in
crease in over 100000
for the period between June 4, 1913,
and June 80. 1914, according to the
report Of State Bank Examiner Severt-
son.
There was a decrease of 100000
for the period from March 4, 1914, to
June 80, 1914. This, however, is
merely the seasonal variation and is
greatly overbalanced by the great in
rease for the year.
The report shows that there are at
present, 618 state banks and four
trust companies, doing business in
North Dakota at the present time.
Overdrafts on the state banks have
been steadily decreasing until they
now include less than one-half of one
per cent Of the total deposits.

Those who journeyed over to Abita

ed to good fast game of baseball.
The local nine went down to defeat
by the score Of 3 to 0. The Tudor
team from New Orleans played fast
fielding game. They hit well with
men on bases and obtained we'll
earned victory. Durr, Eckert and
Vittur were good run earning CON-
bination. Bonner and Davis made a
srong defense in the infield. Both
fielded cleanly The former getting
ten chances with one error. The lat
ter accepted seven chances with no
errors. In the sixth inning Rezza
robbed Meyers out of hit by MAX
ing a long running catch.
The local team seemed a little over
confident after their previous easy
victories. This defeat no doubt will
stimulate their playing and make
them return to team playing instead
of individual starring. Ivens, though
touched for ten hits, some for extra
bases, pitched fine ball, striking out
ten batsmen.
