The Hauptmann trial brings up good many matters have nothing to do with crime and capable of being discussed without raising the ques- tion of innocense or guilt obstruct- ing justice or clamoring for blood in advance of the finding of the jury. The defendant says that he cannot remember certain things because there were too many questions. Here and in one respect at least he is "a brother to the rest of the world. Who has not been questioned un- til he could not remember. Probably Athens breathed a little easier when it heard that Socrates the perpetual question mark at last had taken a dram of poison hemlock. Imitation is good for tires.

The court takes recess to let lawyer and a witness cool off thereby avoiding a bout of fsticuffS. One of the best things to clear the air and restore

 The old hymn book says: The aw- ful day will surely come, the appoint ed hour makes haste. The date for filing the income tax report still is in the future, but near enough to cause apprehension; aand don't for get the pink slip unless you are will ing to pay the government $500 for preparing one on your behalf Real ly, there is no reason why the job then being off ones mind and so much water over the dam All that has to be done is to jot down in- come from stock of domestic corpora tions subject to the Act of 1884 accr- ued prior to Jan 1885 or 30 days before or after the date of this return whichever is earlier excepting those mentioned or not mentioned in in- struction 46 but subject to deduc- tion for tax paid at source and a few things like that.

for the unWary.

After about month of debate in the immediate past and general discussion extending over dozen years the senate in the closing days of January 1885 arrived at the con fusion that the time was not ripe for the adherence of the United States to the world court. Although a ma jority of the democrats were court minded and notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the republi- cans saw things in a different light the vote cannot be said to have been partisan in character. A desire to embarrass the President or to show minority strength probably had little to do with the result. The same ob- Servat;on is true with respect to the claim that truck load of protesting telegramS sent ito the senate from all parts of the country constituted in- fluencing propaganda. With such claims go statements of the oppolsi- ton that proponents of court plan were being fooled Neither politics nor propaganda nor yet mental blind ness sent the world court back to the shelves for an undetermined period. The action of the senate was based on a simple circumstance which anyone can understand. Eur ope has not paid her war debts. Recognized or unrecognized that was what turned the trick. The cal1ous sophistry through which Europe justified the debt default aroused widespread suspicion in this coun- try. If Europe could not be trusted with an American dollar, how could she be trusted with anything more vital to American welfare? The United States simply distrusted the sincerity of the court. Ostensibly, Ithe debt issue is forgotten, Prac- tically, it will influence the course of the United States in world affairs until the score has been settled and the shame purged away.
