UNREST IN INDIA.

The unrest which is manifest in India just now
is no new thing. 1t represents the recurrence OF
conditions which have been frequent, and which
have expressed themselves in a similar manner. 1t
is what must be expectedSwhen a vast and ignorant
population is subjected to the influence of ambitious
and often illogical leadership. India, it is often
said, is struggling for self government. We are re-
minded Of the fact that there is in India a civiliza-
ton and a culture which extends back much farther
than do most of our western civilizations, and such
strong emphasis is placed on this fact that the i'm
preston seems to be left that the population at large
foreign tyranny removed, would Immediately cause
India to take it's place among the foremost nations
Of the earth.
1t is true that there are education and culture
in India. 1t is equally true that education and cul-
ture are restricted to an insignificant part of the
population, and that the mass in that country is
wholly ~1lliterate and utterly unfamiliar with the
first principles of self government outside of the
narrow area OF their village neighborhoods. This
condition is not due to the restraints placed upon
the people by a foreign government. 1t is due,
more than to any other single cause, to the pre-
yalence Of the caste system, which is one of the un-
fortunate inheritances of the Indian peoples. That
system, so influential in the economic life of the
people, is so interviewer with religious sentiment
that it has thus far>been impossible to eradicate it,
and even in the work of modifying it it has been
necessary to exercise the utmost tact and caution.
lhe demand for Indian independence comes
from the few skilled and cultured men who have
placed themselves at the head of the movement. and
who, should that movement be successful. would
themselves be the rulers of the country, for. to 80
per cent OF the population, national government has
10 means whatever. An independent India
would mean an India of ignorance, superstition and
economic stagnation, ruled over by a few ambitious
lfaders, with not tn. slightest prospect for improve
rnent in social, moral or economic conditions.

THE SIMPLEST PLEA OF ALL.

Luther Boldly, who shot two New York detec-
tives and killed one of them, is to be tried for muir
der. There is no question as to the facts. The
Killing is admitted The only ground on which
Conviction can possibly be avoided is that the man
was insane when the act was committed. That
! plea is to be offered. So far as the general public
is informed Boldly was and is as sane as the aver
age man. Yet there will be no difficulty on finding
alienists of repute who will go on the stand and
swear that the man is or was insane. Other alien
ists, equally reputable, will take the stand and swear
chat the prisoner is and always has been perfectly
tsane. ..
I 80 There is no man living in whose defense it
would not be possible to produce evidence of his
insanity, supplied by men whose scientific attain
.nents are beyond question, and whose character is
above suspicion. An injustice is often done in as
Stunning that the physician who declares a man in
sane would with equal readiness declare him sane If
requested to do so. There may be individuals who
would sell themselves in this manner, but they are
few.
7 The conflict in testimony arises, not from the
fact that the doctors are perjuring themselves for
pay, but from the. fact that the study of mental
phenomena is so far from being an exact science
that many things relating to it must be tested by
the unreliable year stick of individual judgment
rather than BY any standard which is appreciable to
the senses. The tendency of one authority is to
estimate mental responsibility on a different basis
from that employed by Another, and to give a differ
ent Interpretation OF the same acts. Skillful coun-
sci know a good deal about the opinions of men of
science whose testimony may have a bearing on
eases in which they are interested, and the problem
for them is not to instruct a witness in what he shall
say, but to select the witness who may be relied on
TO give acceptable testimony. 1t is as if the shape
ST the earth were a matter of disagreement among
The authorities. The counsel interested in obtain
ing a decision in favor of the rotundity of the earth
would not select a witness haphazard and request
him to swear that the earth is round. He would
find one who was committed to that doctrine and
then expect him to tell the truth as he understood it.

The International Joint

The International Joint Commission which has
had under consideration the project of a deep water
way connecting the Great Lakes and the Atlantic
by way of the St. Lawrence river has Just filed its
treaty by the United States and Canada providing
for the construction of such a waterway, and the
iapportionmcnt of the cost to the two countries III
proportion to the benefits derived. The principal
work to be done is the Improvement of the st. Law
renee by the construction OF canals around unnavl-
gable rapids, the building of locks, and other sim
liar improvements. The Canadian government is
already at work on a very important piece Of con-
%struction i'll the enlargement and rebuilding OF the
Welland canal by means OF which traffic will be
possible for large craft between Lakes Erie and On
tario. This short stretch OF less than so miles over
comes the obstacle presented by the great drop ia
ken by the waters of Lake Erie in their passage
through the Niagara river, a total drop of some $50
feet. of WHICH about 165 feet is taken in the plunge
over the great p%recipice at Niagara.
This waterway project has been under consid-
Grafton for some time and has attracted a great deal
of attention. The sentiment of the middle west has
been and is decidedly in favor Of it provided it is a
physical and commercial possibility. On that point
petent engineers have passed upon the project from
the physical standpoint and have decided emphat-
icaly in it's favor. There are no obstacles of a phys
lcal nature which cannot readily be overcome: The
commercial aspect has to do with the handling of
the resources of a vast inland empire, and the trans
iportation of untold millions OF tons of commodities
from abroad into the center of the continent, Enor-
nous sums will be saved in railway freight pay
rnents and, furthermore. the railways themselves
which in times of normal activity are heavily over
burdened, will be relieved OF some of the most en-
barrassing of their problems. There seems to be no
good reason why the plan should not at once be car
ried into effect.

ing given to the advisability rather than concentrat-
ing population.
Factories have Aocked to centers Of congestion
to add by their presence still more to the conges-
ton. The owners Of great plants are finding that
the location Of their properties in or Immediately
adjacent to large cities is bringing them face to.face
with apparently unsolvable problems of transporta-
ton and distribution. The carload Of freight
shipped to a factory in Chicago, when it reaches
that city, becomes one of thousands of such cars
which must be shifted about from, place to place be-
fore it can reach its ultimate destination. There is
a maze Of rails and an enormous congestion Of
freight, incoming and outgoing. This condition
prevails in every large city. Manufacturers are
showing a disposition to locate plants in small cities
rather than in large ones. In this way some OF the
transportation problems are solved, and another
feature of equal or greater importance is the better
facilities that are afforded in the small city for the

trct of a great city is often required to live many
miles from<his work. Too much time is consumed
in going and coming. Domestic life is not at all
what it should be and what it can be in the small
city. Social conditions are not easily developed in
the large city along desirable lines. The element
of citizenship suffers. The Individual finds it diff
cult to fit himself into the affairs of a great city, and
to feel himself really one OF its people: In the small
city, he fits into his niche and DEVELOPS a feeling OF
civic consciousness and civic responsibility which
tend to make him a better citizen, and the city in
which he lives a better city. Students Of social
science are devoting a great deal Of attention to this
to be very largely in favor of the better develop
1nent of the small city and the cessation of the. I'M

FEDERAL RESERVE REPRESENTATION.

The Federal Reserve board is the body which
has general supervision over the national banking
system of this country. Its functions are rather
clearly defined and, Ninasmuch as it's province is to
deal with banks and banking, there has been a rath-
er natural assumption that its members should be
men WHO, through careful training and long exper-
fence, have made themselves thoroughly familiar
with the banking business.
The demand that is now being pressed that at
least one farmer shall be a member of this board
introduces a new element. 1t is charged that the
board, being composed of bankers, is too apt to make
decisions which will be favorable to bankers, and
which will involve the great agricultural interests
of the country in distress. Therefore the sugges-
ton, which has been presented in the form of a de-
mand, that a farmer be given a place OIL the board
in order to protect the farming interest. !;
So far, SO good. But where are we to stop?
The most enthusiastic agrarian will scarcely con-
tend that agriculture, important though it is, is the
only important industry in this country. There are
some millions of people who are engaged id other
such as railroading, mining, manufac-
turing, and so on. These people, too, have certain
interests and certain rights. If we are to admit the
principle that agriculture must be represented on
the board because agriculture is affected by the
boards decisions we must extend the principle and
admit to representation every interest which MAJ
be similarly affected. We should have on the board,
a farmer, a representative or organized
labor, possibly a representative of unorganized la
|bor-for there is a lot of tia railroad man, a manu-
|facturer, a physician, a representative Of each Of the
major occupations in the country. That would
give us a fair imitation Of the Russian soviet.
Isn't the element Of representation fairly we'll
provided for in the organization of our national gov
eminent? Its members do not represent occupations
as such, but each man who occupies a position in the
government, in whatever capacity, comes from some
section where he is thrown into contact with the
chief industries Of his constituency, and he may be
supposed to be familiar with them and interested in
them. The government represents all its citizens.
If the citizens are not fairly represented as a rule it
is. their own fault. They have the remedy in. their
own hands. When it comes to administrator we
have need Of the expert. If the farmers or the ner4
chants want a new bridge they do not employ a
farmer or a merchant to plan It. They employ an
engineer. because they suppose that he knows about
1.-The building of bridges. If a man has a sick horse
The callsson = veterinary. But when we have Plan
med a banking system. it seems that Its operation
Ishould not be entrusted to anybody but bankers.
