- The American farmer is a greater
financier than the Wall Street opera
tor, says Mr.. Edgar L. Cady of Mount
Vision, New York, in The Times, and
If he were to pool his earnings like the
railroad speculator he would have suf-
ficient to purchase every railroad in
the United States. The American far
mer took 14,755, ,OOO, 900 out of the soil
last year, according to the report Of
the secretary of agriculture. The crop
alone represents more dollars than the
combined earnings Of all the railroads
leading out of New York city. The
cotton crop last year would start seven
banks as large as the New York Fed
eral Reserve and have enough left to
buy dozen national banks. The hens
laid enough eggs to pay for the build
ing of another fifty million dollar sub
way in New York. 1t is the farmer

One Of the earliest and most rldicu-.
lous rcversals that 1 know Of is from
our own Ohio supreme court in the
early case of Hooker V. State of Chic.
This was q case in which the indict-
ment was for horse stealing. The par
ticular horse stolen WIS mentioned in
the indictment as grey horse The
proof showed in the language of the
witnesses a grey gelding." The court
held that was a fatal variance be-
tween pleading and proof, reversed the
conviction, and the prisoner went scot
free.
l think the most condemnatory thing
that could be said of this decision is
the language from the courts own
mouth, which l quote from the opin-
ion:
The objection raised by the second
bill of exceptions-that u grey gelding
iG not q grey horse-seemS- too in
significant to command serious consid-
Grafton; the term horse, being gen.
eric term, ought to include every va
riety of the animal, as diversified by
age, sex, occupation, or modification.
The English authorities, however,
and which have been recognized in sew
eral states of the Union as sound law,
are too strong to be resisted, and too
pointed to be evaded. 1t is the duty
of the court not to make but to de-
clare the law. tia lex scripta est pre-
cludes all inquiry into the reasonable
ness or propricty of the objection.
Judgment reversed"
Another Ohio decision, equally alb
surd, found fatal variance between
the words "storc-room" and "store
house" a Missouri case. equally ri
diculous for technicality, found that at
the conclusion of an indictment read
ing against peace and dignity Of the
state of Missouri" the omission of the
word "the" before peace and dignity"
was fatal to the indictment.
In Delaware a defendant was indict-
ed for stealing "onc pair Of boots"
The proof showed that he stole two

mismatched boots, being the right
boots Of two pairs; there being no left
boot, there was no pair" of boots, the
court held and the case was reversed.
In Georgia an indictment charged
that a certain crime had been COM
mitted upon the public road" The
evidence failed to show that such road
had ever been dedicated to the state,
though it had been used for long
time as a public highway. The case
was reversed.
One of our earlier supreme court
judges had the sound sensible squint
upon this proposition Of technicality
when he said concerning one such OBJ
lection relied on to reverse the con-
viction: at is at best q mere artificial
technicality, and just in proportion as
it lacks reason it appears to have won
upon the affections of the profession
The judges adopted this technical
procedure very largely from England
at an early day. When an accused, by
reason Of the facts that he was denied
the right to testify, denied the right of
counsel, denied the right of compul-
sorry process to bring his witnesses in
to court, and many other rights was
hard pressed, the judges out of their
humanity undertook to mitigate the
scveritics of the law by entertaining
and justifying the application of strict
technical construction. But all these
rights have now been accorded the ac-
cuscd. The reason for the technical
construction, therefore having failed,
the technical construction itself should
fell The English courts that formu-
lated these presidents have abolished
them by treating them as judicial junk.
American judges alone seem to regard
them with favor. Isn't it a5o:lt time
that q modern principle shall be Of
more persuasive influence in n court
Of justice than a medieval precedent?
The whole foundation of our great
equity system Of Jurisprudence was
based upon the fact that the hard and
fast and more or less limited rules of

Her blue eyes opened wide, half
with delight and rapture half with
modification. He spoke long time,
but In the end she told him that she
must consider. She wanted a days
grace. Then she would give him her
answer. .
It was her birthday. Kitty gave
her e vivid, flowered kimono and two
substantial muslin nightdresses, and
Jim slipped a ten-dollar bill in her
unwilling fingers. 1t was all so banal
she did not belong there.
1t was sunshiny but cooler than the
day before, and Kitty added a hot.
water bag to the steamer rug and
then came rushing out again with O
huge box. It was from Doctor Bowen,
things for the stay at the mothers,
wonderful things that he would not
have to be ashamed Of, that would not
cause any conn ment. Iris understood,
yet somehow she felt strangely dis.
turbed. She put the things back In
the box and wondered In some alarm
what Doctor Bowens mother was like.
Her thoughts were distracted by
seeing their neighbor, Sam Moore, sud.
denly vault the fence, balancing some.
thing In his hand, and then come
straight to her chair.
.'Happy birthday, Iris |" and held out
a blue bowl filed with yellow daffo-
dis.
Iris gave little gasp Of pleasure,
her lips parted in the faintest smile.
'sHow lovelyW she murmured softly.
t'Put it here on my lap, please" She
noticed as he obeyed her that his fin.
gers were long and capable looking
and that his eyes were gray, Of pene
trating keenness.
2 He looked at her and laughed, "My,
but you look pretty in Jim's old cap!"
A little warm glow filled her heart and
reflected itself for a second on her
pale cheeks. "Iris, want you to get
well, Of course, but hope 1t takes
you long time!, I want to see you
here in this back yard; you sort Of
belong here, with your big solemn blue
eyes" She looked at him In amaze
ment, but she smiled again. "See the
apple blossoms coming and that peach
tree in Its Easter outfit? You're part
ofit! I--none Of US can ever bear to
think Of you leaving. US, going away.
OF course, you're going to get well too
quick. Can't help It having Kitty, llv-
ing In the sunshine Of her love. She
was mighty good nurse, wasn't she,
and always cheerful"
Iris Rodded, something stirring in
her heart.

Che kind Of girl who sees the beauty
In her environment, the throbbing
realibeauty of love, the kind that made
Kitty SIT through long nights at your
bed, the kind that made all Of us pray
for your recovery Iris, look up at
that blue sky! Smell the blossom
scented air, hear the faint buzzing of
first bees. Tell me, do only imagine
It, or is not the whole world singing
Of love-" and he leaned over and
smiled In her blue eyes, full Of
promise.
Her eyes fell upon the box Of things
So essential to Doctor Bowen's mother,
and she shrank away from 1t, and
turned to the blue bowl filled with
daffodils. 1t was symbol Of what
Sam Moore would offer her all his
life. -v,

and murmured, eyes, Sam, It Is full

aw were inadequate to do justice.

law were Inadequate to do Justice.
1t was declared and accepted that
wherever there was a wrong there
should be remedy, and In very early
days in order to provide an adequate
remedy address was made to the con-
science of the king. BY and by the
king appointed his chancellor, and ap-
plications for equity-which is, after
all, only justice-were made to the
conscience Of the chancellor.
After all, this is but following Ma
lures own court, GUd's own court,
which he established when he made
man, because he put the court in the
mantle court Of conscience. 1t is
open twenty-four hours in the day,
three hundred and sixty-five days in
the year, in all ones sane and normal
life. It never takes vacation; it Is
always up with the business; its dock
ct is always clear. 1t is the most in
stantaneous, automatic, infallible hu-
man court known. It's decisions are
never appealed from.
In mans court we may ofttlmes lie
awake nights wondering what the de-
cision will be in the weeks and months
to come-yes, years to come; but in
Gods court there Are no delays. We
may lie awake nights not because the
court mas not decided but because 1t
has, and decided against us. There is
but one rule of law applied in this
court, and that Is the Golden Rule:
Whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do we even so to
them"
1t goes to the vitals of every case;
it deals with the substantial justice of
every case. It's early, expeditions, di-
rect, dominant decisions, that deal
with the essential questions of right
and wrong, justice and injustice,
should furnish greater guidance to re-
viewing courts in criminal cases than
the primitive precedent of technical
antiquated procedure.
In no other department Of govern
ment has there been such a wholesale
waste Of time, labor and expense as in
the judicial branch. The waste is in
excusable, especially when we consid-
er the training and the experience nee
essary to qualify the public officer for
this branch of the service. Let justice
be sure and swift in criminal cases
Give them priority over all other busi-
ness in the order of their Importance
to the public. Simplify and shorten
the trials, confine them to the essential
issues in dispute, pass speedily upon
motions for new trial, impose expedi-
tious sentences adequate to the crime,
and let reviews and appeals be speed
lily heard.
With public opinion effectively CO.
operating with the public officer
crime and criminals can be conquered,
or at least reduced to the minimum by
making in fact and in law the way of
the transgresJor hard.
This mealy- -mouthed. sentimental
stuff concerning the treatment of our
chronic criminal classes has about
reached the limit. It is high time that
the government performs it's function
for which the people pay, by protect
ing the lawabiding from the law-vio-
lating.
The powers and resources of the
courts Of the twentieth century to pre-
vent crime and punish criminals
should be at least equal to the powers
and resources of the violating classes,

first and she did not rush forward Instead, she stopped. with wide eyes, stifled cry, and lifting one hand to- ward her heart. Grey saw too, flushed rather painfully, and calmed himself. Erskine had sprung down ihe steps.
 "Why, have I changed so much?" he cried. Hugh didn't seem to know me, either" His voice was gay, friendly, even affectionate, but his eyes danced with strange lights that puzzled the girl.
 "Of course I knew you," she fal- tered, paling little, but gathering her. self rather haughtily-a fact that Frs kline seemed not to notice. You took me by surprise and you have changed but I don't know how much." The significance of this too seemed to pass Erskine by, for he bent over Barbara's hand and kissed 1t.
 "Never to you, my dear cousin" he said gallantly, and then he bowed to Dane Grey, not offering to shake hands.
 "Of course I know Nr. Grey" To say that the gentleman was dumfound' ed Is to put 1t mildly-this wild Indian playing the courier with exquisite i'm. pudence and doing 1t well!

river the boat disappeared from Erskines sight under the bank and he watched the girl. How she had grown Her slim figure had rounded and shot upward. and her white gown had dropped to her dainty ankles. Now her face was flushed and her eye flashed with excitement-it was no mere kinsman in that boat, and the boys heart began to throb again throb fiercely and with racking emo- tions that he had never known before. A fiery looking youth sprang up the landing steps, bowed gallantly over the girls hand, and the two turned up the path, the girl rosy with smiles and the youth bending over her with most protecting and tender air. It was Dane Grey, and the heart of the watcher turned mortal sick.

CHAPTER xI,

A long time Erskine sat motionless, wondering what ailed him. He had never liked nor trusted Grey; he be- ueved he wOu Id have trouble with him some day, but he had other enemies and he did not feel toward them as he did toward this dandy mincing up that beautiful broad path. With a little grunt he turned back along the path. Firefy whinnied to him and nipped at him with playful restlessnesS as though eager to be on his way to the barn; and he stood awhile with one arm across his saddle Once he reached upward to unite the reins, and with another grunt strode back and went rapidly up the path. Grey and Barbara had disappeared, but tall youth who sat behind one of the big pillars saw him coming and rose, bewildered, but not for long. Each recognized the other swiftly, and Hugh came with stiff courtesy forward. Erskine smiled:
 "You don't know me-" Hugh bowed:
 Quite we'll" The woodsman drew himself up with quick breath-paling without, flaming within-but before he could speak there was a quick step and an astonished cry within the hall and Harry sprang out.
 "ErSkine! Erskine!" he shouted and he leaped down the steps with both hands Outstretched. You here! :! You-yOu old Indian-how did you get here?" He caught Erskine by both hands and then fell to shaking him by the shoulders. "Where's your horse?" And then he noticed the boys pale and embarrassed face and his eyes shifting to Hugh, who stood, still cold, still courteous, and he checked some hot outburst at his lips.
 "Tm glad you've come, and I'm glad you've come right now-where's your horse?"
 'T left him hitched at the landing," Erskine had to answer, and Harry looked puzzled:
 "The landing! Why, what" He wheeled and shouted to darky:
 "Put Master Erskines horse in the barn and feed him." And he led Frs kine within-to the same room where he had slept before, and poured out some water in a bowl.
 "Take your time," he said, and he went back to the porch. Erskine could hear and see him through the latticed blinds.
 Hugh" said the lad in low, cold voice, "I am host here, and if you don't like this you can take that path
 You are right" was the answer; "but you wait until Uncle Harry gets hOme."
 The matter was quite plain to Frs kline within. The presence of Dane Grey made it plain, and as Erskine dipped both hands into the cold water he made up his mind to an under standing with that young gentleman that would be complete and final. And so he was ready when he and Harry were on the porch again and Bar bara and Grey emerged from the rose bushes and came slowly up the path. Harry looked worried, but Erskine sat still, with a faint smile at his mouth nnd in % bis evcs Rarhara saw him
