Safeguarding Crime in America.

The more the Becker decision Of the Court of APP
appears. 1t is not too much TO say that these six
Judges have placed themselves in opposition TO the
whole trend of judicial reform in this country.
The feeling is widespread that rights Of appeal
have in America been magnified out of all relation
TO justice. In England the many safeguards placed
about a defendant by our common system of trial
have been kept in their proper place by giving TO
the trial judge wide discretion and to the verdict
of jury full force and effect. Here in America we
not only preserved the elaborate rules of evidence
designed to'protect the innocent We supermposed
upon them system of appeal that tied the hands
Of the trial Judge and made the appellate courts in
many cases the real jury to pass upon the facts.
The glarng weakness and injustice Of this system
Of appeal come out in the Becker decision. The six
prevailing Judges Of the Court of Appeals did not
single witness on the stand. They lacked
utterly the chief evidence by which in ordinary life
we tell whether man is lying or MOTHS appear
ance his actions. his tone OF voice Yet they did
not hesitate to review the evidence in detail with
nothing but the bald printed record before them
To cite a conspicuous example: The central feature
OF the prosecutions case was the testimony of
Jack Rose story which as related on the stand
had most persuasive effect by reason of the ease
and confidence with which an extraordinarily COM
pick plot was spread forth. In cold print this hui
man equation practically disappears
SO, too, with the question of Justice COTS conduct
of the trial 1t Is utterly impossible to reconstruct
such trial from the printed record. The manner
the whole personality, of the counsel is lost. A
clever lawyer, expert at the game, can keep his
record beautifully clear Of offence while by his
intonation and bearing he plays hob with every
consideration of courtesy and fair play To the
jury and every spectator reproof by the court may
be entirely iustiiable which in the printed record
seems all but inexplicable. In short having regard
to the human side and the real verities of case
anything misleading than stenocraphic rec
ord 1t would be difficult to construct
The moral of these facts is the view which has
been generally growing in favor in this country
that the rulings of judge and the verdict Of jury
must be restored TO condition of respect before
any real judicial reform can he accomplished A
courageous Judge endeavoring TO run trial with
pettily attacked by court of appeals before scan
dalous delays and unfair defensive tactics can be
ended. So. too, with the whole problem Of rehab
tating our much abused jury system
We cannot hut view the Court of Appeals decision
with the deepest regret. Not only the conclusions
used show that our highest court has set its face
against the most promising method of trial reform
available.

The Pure Food Decision.

The Supreme Courts decision will make the pure

have been had the court upheld the governments

FERROUS matter in food or drugs would be sufficient
70 Justify condemnation of the article containing
them But we do not see that it will make it impos-
sbe to enforce And if it does. then the remedy re-
mains of amending the laws: for as understand

does not forbid what the officials charged with pre-
venting the sale of impure food believe should be
forbidden IL does not hold that Congress could not
make law sufficiently drastic to do so. The pubic

food and will have a statute that will effectively pre-
vent their operations if the present does not.
Moreover the decision must probably be construed

WHAT A SUFFRAGIST WANTS
Not to Hold Office, but Simply to Per-
form Her Duty as Private Citizen.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: M NJ. b." in to-day's issue says
that "Suffragists are asking for
"A departure from private into public life"
This is indeed new and interesting in
depreciation of the franchise.
Are all citizens leaders Of public life ?
Does the simple marking OF a ballot In
expression of opinion place the marker
in the limelight. or IS he merely perform
ing his duty as a citizen? There are
women everywhere. just as there are
men, who are fitted to I'LL positions OF
public trust, but they are doing so with
out the vote; every man is not politi-
clan, and neither will every woman be
one. There will always be women within
the home and women forced to work out
side OF Il; why not let them all be citi-
zens?
It is not the suffragists who are falling
out" but the "antis," who are forsaking
the ranks OF progress and evolution in
the enGeayor TO hold their sisters back
also. The same arguments were used
originally against women learning the al
phabet and women attending college that
are now employed against women becom-
ing enfranchised. 1t sounds preposterous,
but it is all too true.

That Discord at Manila.

1t was, apparently, that little German band that
started the trouble at Manila Or else it was the
unmusca Yankee ear The kaiser's cruiser Irene
entered the harbor with its band playing the Amerl-
can national anthem Whether that was "The Star
Spangled Banner" or Dixie or "rhere'll Be "a
Hot Time" etc. does not appear. But the band
played it so badly the listeners heard it so badly,
that it was supposed to be the national anthem OF
Spain. Hence all the Dewey Diederichs ruction and
incidentally, "Hoch der KAISER
Thus Admiral Dederichs; and why not so let the
matter stand? It was nearly sixteen years ago,
anyway, and many tides have flowed and ebbed
around Corregdor since then. Nobody doubts the

Admiral Dewey. or that each of them "seen his duty
and done it, according to his own patriotic lights.
Let the wrangle follow the vanished echoes of that
