Human Race After the War.

II is comforting TO note that the British
savants can find time at this crisis in the af
fairs OF their country to solemnly debate the
probable condition OF the human race after the
war and its Improvement as q result of the ef-
fects OF the conflict. One estimable professor,
estimating that the loss of life will reach 20,-
000,0 900. argues that because Of this the race
will be greatly improved In quality. He bases
his conclusion the belief that In ages past
any improvement or advance In the character OF
life, whether animal vegetable, has followed
some cataclysmic change. Another group OF
professors, equally estimable. is considering
methods whereby propagation may be Invested
of some OF the features that now operate to re-
tard the birth rate. This group is looking for
ward to quantity as earnestly as the first is to
quality 1t is proposed TO encourage child-bear-
ing among the poorer classes by removing some
of the obstacles. such as expense, now attaching
to maternity. No definite action has as yet
been taken. but the fact that the subject is
being so prominently considered is interesting
in its baroness.
1t is quite bellevable that the thought that
permeates England's people may also have con-
sideration among the other European nations.

Opposed to this thought. however. is human
experience. So far as mans record can be
traced, It is of perversity and strife. and no
war has yet wrought such havoc as TO bring any
very great improvement In the race. Mans ad-
vance, whether material, spiritual or intel
lectual. has been wrought out In times OF peace.
Some political changes for the better have re-
suited from war; but the great achievements OF
the race are the triumphs of peaceful pursuits

Justice for Any Man.

The presiding Judge of the Oklahoma court
OF appeals has Just set an example for his breth-
rem OF the bench that might be initiated with
benefit to the public In granting a writ OF
habeas corpus for eleven men accused OF being
l. w. w. agitators, he rebuked the Judge of the
lower court for neglecting to accord to the ac-
cused men their rights as citizens. This judge
holds that no magistrate is justified in herding
together number OF persons and passing SEN
tence without giving them a hearing, OF notifying
them that they are entitled to defense. While
the I. w. w. is not at all to be commended, It
gathers its recruits from the ranks OF those who
feel they have chance in life, and especially
with the courts To summarily sentence these
men in groups without hearing is not calculated
to arouse in them any high regard for law. When
II IS fully established that any man will get
Justice in our courts much Of the reason for the
l. W. w. will disappear.
