The quictnes, of the present state
political campaign and the con,dera-
ton with which the two candidates for
governor view one another, emphasizes
more than ever the fact that the old
days Of mud singing and utilization
are lost and gone ioever. Time was
when candidates for office would hand
out ugly compliments to their rivals for
honors, surrounded by a cotere of ac-
complished brother mud-slngers But
that sort of campaigning does not get
away with the modern voter He cX-
poets differences in political opinion
and he wants to hear those opinions
expressed in person by the candidate,
but he wants the mud left out. In the
present campaign the candidates have
several times spoken their pieces from
the same platform, at the request Of
a community, that they might get the
views and opinions on burning ques-
tons in a calm, friendly and dignitied
manner
While we do not see the great adj
vantage to be gained by bringing rhe
rivals on in the same act it is rather
refreshing to see them treat each other
with such complete courtesy.

Chief Justice Taft has returned from
his study of the British Judicial system,
and is now engaged in writing a report
on his observations that will probably
be a guide in revising our own court
practice. Hardly a day passes in the
courts of this country but what is re-
vealed a gross miscarriage of justice,
either through the fault of the law it.
self, or through the manner in which
the law is administered.
A glazing instance is in process of
development right now in our national
capital On January 2S of this year the
roof of the Knickerbocker theatre in
Washington crashed in on the heads
of innocent people who had been led
to believe that the building was per
fectly safe, and whose money had been
accepted at the ticket window One
hundred of them were killed outright,
and scores of Others were horribly in
jured, some crippled or MANNED for
life
Subsequent examination Of the ruins
by competent engineers revealed gross
errors in design and construction. A
coroner's jury and a grand jury inves-
tigated the case with the utmost care,
with the result that indictments of
manslaughter were found against five
individuals connected with the design
and erection and inspection of the
building. Counsel for the defendants
filed a demurrer to the indictments
which was upheld by the judge and
on July a, just six months from the
catastrophe the indictments were
thrown out of court as defective. The
district attorney took an appeal, but
the appeal will not be heard until next
January, one whole year from the IA
tai date. What will be the next pro-
cedure, no one knows The hope for
dispatch is not very promising.
1t is possible to partially imagine the
state of mind of the survivors of that
awful night and of the relatives of those
so cruelty killed as they read the Is
typewriter pages of the judges deci-
sion. To them the case is simple
enough - the building fell due to the
criminal carelessness Of its builders
the identity of whom has been estab.
hshed by the grand jury Those poor
corpses are just as dead as if they had
been lined up against a wall while Ii
wing and shot down ruthlessly by the
gentlemen who erected the theatre. The
only difference is one Of method anC
premeditation. The horrible result j,
the same in both cases.
Chief Justice Taft has his work cut
out for him if he can so amend the le
gal procedure in this country as tC
