HINTS

Simple sore throat is not so simple.
1t is simple enough for careful peo-
Pile. Sometimes it is tragic for the
careless.
There are almost as many causes OF
sore throat as there are diseases. ANY
infection lurking around the throat
or tonsils may give one sore throat.
Sore throat may be caused by diph.
iberia or scarlet fever. Frequently it
is one Of the first symptoms OF infan.
tile paralysis. Tonsilitis. laryngitis
or pharyngltis may be responsible. It
Is sometimes present in tuberculosis.
Then there is smokers sore throat
and clergymen's sore throat.
Like many other ailments. sore
throat may often be prevented. One
preventive IS to keep the root of the
tongue cleansed the same as the teeth.
This will prevent lurking germs from
gaining foothold.
Dust often causes sore throat. II

Murder by the State.

Something of the bleak, elemental
tragedy of Russian novel envelops the
story of Stielow. the farmland of Medina,
n. Y, condemned to death for double
murder, escaping the electric chair by
minutes through a belated reprieve, and
now proved innocent by a tramp's contes-
sion. The machinery of New York justice
can claim little credit for the happy final
chapter now written. The record of futile
effort to undo terrible judicial blunder
strikes deep into the rigid lcgalism of our
courts.
Americans like to shudder at the cruelty
which we think we see in the French sys-
TEN, whereby an accused person is ques-
toned in open court. 1t pleases us to be-
lieve that our merciful Anglo-Saxon sys-
tenn saves defendant from testifying
against himself. Yet look at Stielow. He
was convicted almost wholly through a
confession wrung from him in private by
detectives. There was some corrobora-
ton, necessarily. But the verdict rested
mainly on the confession, and that con-
sisted of the defendants own testimony,
not delivered publicly with human
chance of give and take. but bled from him
drop by drop in typical third degree pro-
cedure.
We are far from condemning a de-
PENDANTS examination altogether. 1t is the
straightforward, human way of getting at
the truth, very often the only way. 1t
works Justice again and again. What we
are condemning is the stupid pretence OF
our system, which saves defendant on
the witness stand but subjects him to I'M
regulated torture in secret. The simple
minded laborer in Sing Sing, still mute
and dazed after his escape from murder at
the hands Of the People of the State OF
New York, pleads more eloquently than
could any leader of the bar for a new
legalism that shall deal in facts, not
forms

He himself has spoken little despair
ingly of present conditions, but there are
signs enough to encourage him, and in the
long run he may triumph. He has always
placed his hope in the democracy of Eng
land. and it is obvious that common sense
of fair play has won him new friends on
this occasion. Mr. Lloyd George may also
be counted on. Another encouraging sign
is the attitude of Sir Edward Carson.
There are some good, hard men in North
east Ulster, as in England, too, who VIII
violently resent Sir Edward Carson's atu-
tude, but it is hopeful attitude, and IN
the long run it may lead to something
more like a real settlement than we have

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In my letter published in the Tribune
cf the 2lst ultimo gave some reasons why IL
was fortunate for the United States that the
Clarke amendment did not pass. being in the
main that il would be betrayal OF trust
and breach Of treaty and moral obligations
And I will add that n nation, no less than an
individual. should have keen conscience and
sense Of moral obligations, and its conscience
should always be clear
II is plainly apparent that, il the United
States were to withdraw from these ISLANDS,
il would be but short while before they
would be in a state of anarchy. and that
Japan or some other foreign power less altru-
istic than the United States would make avail
eble the first opportunity, excuse or mistake
on their part for Selling and assuming SOW
ercignty over these valuable possessions, in
tie acquisition Of which the United States
has spent millions Of money and the precious
blood of brave and patriotic American SOL
diers, and millions more in their protection,
uplift, development and civilization.
The intelligent and best educated Filpinos
know this full we'll; and there is nothing that
frightens the Filipinos in general more than
the thought of coming under the dominion Of
the Flowery Kingdom. They dread that above
all things else, and would readily accept any
ether solution of the vexed question rather
than Japanese sovereignty.
The insurrecto leaders in the past have
fully understood this and have found it the
surest method of inducing the ignorant ma
tlves to contribute their time and money and
join them for pretended insurrectionary pur-
poses, which is often nothing more than a
scheme by some leader or leaders to get
money from the more ignorant classes These
leaders have only TO give out the report that
the Japs are about to land an army on Philip
zine shores, and forthwith the ignorant ma
tives flock to their sta ndards, take the oath of
allegiance and sign their names with pen
dipped in blood drawn from their own veins.
I state this from personal experience, because
| have tried several cases for violation of the
evolution and sedtion laws.
Therefore, it is but natural that the great
bulk of the Filipino people should prefer to
remain in status quo when they understand
what independence really means for them
That 10 TO say, when they fully realize that
means, not unbridled liberty
and absolute freedom from all taxation and
legal restraint, as they are taught to believe.
