A comparison of the English method of dealing with murders is invited by the case, and widespread interest in the English system has been aroused in America. One correspondent, describing the English system, says that no such procedure as that before Judge Caverly in Chicago could take place in an English court. In America plea may be “not guilty because insane” but in England verdict would be “guilty but insane.” English judges, with more power in such cases than American judges, do not permit the battle of alienists. One of the most famous Eng- lish murder trials lasted but two days. The verdict was “guilty but insane.” The insane man went to the prison for criminal insane, and still remains there. - There is not likely to be a Harry Thaw case in England. Thaw was sent to a hospital for the insane and after long incarceration obtained his freedom. He did not serve the life sentence usually given a murderer. In England he probably would have remained in the insane hospital the rest of his life. The only question considered by English jurists when mental deficiency is pleaded is whether or not the murderer is able to distinguish between right and wrong. Childish phantasies or similar abnormalities have no place in the courts there. Much of the American law is based on the English com- mon law. A few years ago Chief Justice Taft of the United “States Supreme Court went to England in an endeavor to obtain suggestions for speeding procedure in the United States courts. The Leopold-Loeb case will convince many that we have much to learn in this respect. “BE SQUARE” William Byron Forbush has recently published a new took. It is a little, 88-cent affair, but it is one of the most significant and pregnant publications of this modern mo- -ment. The theme and plot of the book is dishonesty and its price. Its moral is its title, “Be Square.” Stock frauds. land frauds and confidence games cost us, seach year, Mr, Forbush shows, $2,000,000,000, burglary and theft $525,000,000, embezzlement and defalcations $125,000,- 00, graft and looting of public domain $200,000,000 fraudu- lent bankruptcy and credit swindles $100,000,000, bad debts owirsr merchants $150,000,000, forgery and worthless checks £125,000,000, piracy and seaport robbery $75,000,000 —a grav? loc~y~ total of $3.300.000.000. Add to this the $5,000,000,000 we pay for police, courts, jails, prisons, etc., and we know that dishonesty costs us 18.5:0,000,000 a vear, a sum sufficient to pay the current expenses of any three governments—enough to thoroughly educate every child in the country. Appalling figures, but they do not tell the whole story even at that. Dishonesty is increasing. Before the war the insurance companies estimated that there were three burglaries to one fire; today there are seven. In 10 years, the ratio of automobile thefts to the total valuation has increased over five times. Surety companies today are paying six times as much fav .embezzlements and 12 times as much for burglaries as was true 10 years ago. And. think of the worthless goods sold, the thousands of articles lost and found that are never returned, the cheating in examinations at schools and colleges, the vast, vast num- ber of petty deceptions that are practiced in all the walks of ‘life and which are not tabulated! Denressing? Yes. Depressing enough to invite reaction —to challenge men and women and children to revolt and battle for right. a Back of every offense, shortcoming, crime, one or all, there’ are human beings. “Aftermath of war,” “movies,” “prohibition,” and all the other stock explanations :for evil smovements and conditions are piffle. ~ They are resorts, not causes. There is sorrow, of course, and charity, but there is no mitigation for dishonesty, no extenuation for being a cheat. 4, The easiest, most natural and very finest answer ‘to all the demands and problems of life—the answer that, best ‘meets all moral questions of humanity—is, “Be Square2’ MOTHER ..

A NEW ADVANCE IN AN ART The immense amount of pubdlic- riphy have received years has somewhat obscured, apparently, the fact that the sub- marine cable is still doing busi-| ress, and very much of it. In part! the cables compete with wireless, | it is true, but in the main their spheres of use do not greatly over- lap. There have not been cables enough, and more are being laid down on the bed of the oceans} every year. Especially have cables | ‘been needed in the Pacific. Engineer employed by the West-| ern Electric Research Laborator- | les have recently developed a new alloy whose use will, it 1s expect- ed. enable at least four words to be sent over a submarine cable| for every one that js now possible. As a means of transmitting signals the cable is very much slower than land wires, because, first, it: is really a very long condenser of the same sort used on radio ap- paratus; and second, because it is izherently defective in a quality known as inductance. Prior to the year 1900 the tele- phone suffered from a_ similar trouble, but the great inventor Pupin was able by placing an in- dvctance coil every few miles along the wires to make long- distance telephony possible. Sim- ilar coils could not, however, be placed in the suboceanic cables owing to mechanicw! difficuties in laying them from a ship in mid- ocean, and so the speeded-up cabie was forced to wail for the Inven- tion of a new alloy called permai- loy.—Outlook. BATTLE OF “WOUNDED KNEE” He told me that the Indians came in and surrendered and that the troops surrounded them, form- ing a square with thé’ Indians— men. women, and children—in the center. A shot or shots came from among the Indians. (1 do not re-| member whether it did injury to the soldiers or not.) At this the soldiers, losing their heads, fired iato the Indians massed within the square, killing many of the In- dians and incidentally killing a number of their own men on the other sides of the square! My informant and his wife went about after the “battle.” working and children, whose injuries, he tells me, were ghastly and whose pathetic inquiries, “Why are they killing us?” he can never forget. None of the women or children in spite of horrible lacerations, groaned or made any outcry till they realized that the white man {was not going to have them put to death. If my informant wag right, and I have every reason to believe that he was, I should not call this af- fair a “battle.” I understanf that an official inquiry by Army offi- cers decided thatyat least for pur- noses of publication, it was not a “massacre.” It seems now possi- ble, after so long an interval, -to look into the facts. Or is offi- cial whitewash permanent? — Ad- venture. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON THE TRAVELERS VISIT THE KANGAROOS “Where are we going now, Weeny!” asked Nick when the ele- phant had placed them both careful- ly on his back after they had left the iceberg. “Who else are you going to visit on your vacation?” “I believe I'll go to see Kicky Kangaroo,” said Weeny. “We used to have a lot of fun in the circus.

The last postcard I had from him had his ad- dress on it.” “It must be in your satchel,” said Nancy. “So it must,” said Weeny. So the Twins opened the satchel and took out Weeny’s nighty and his specks and his toothbrush und there, sure enough, was the lost post- card, “It Says ‘Bamboo Grove, Australia,’ read Nick. / “Yes, sir! Of course!” said Weeny. “I wish my memory was as long as my trunk. But it’s only as long as my tail, My head will never save my heels, I'm afraid. Wasn't it lucky T happened to have that card along! Hold tight now, here we go.” Weeny gave a few flaps with his big ears and soon the travelers were whizzing away over mountains and seas until they came to Australia. At least that's what the whale said it was, when they asked him out in the ocean, And before they knew it there they jWere at the Bamboo Grove, where | Kicky Kangaroo lived. In a sort of tangly place under some trees there was a house and on the door-plate it said, “Mister and Mrs, Kangaroo.” 4 “Why, it doesn’t say a word about icky,” said Weeny anxiously. “Oh, it never mentions the chil- id Nick wisely. “But if Weeny. ho’s there?” called a voice sud- from inside. id Weeny. “I mean us.” im: jo there!” he cried. “If it still doing a circus act said Weeny. “These are not ders, They're Nancy and Twins. taking ‘them on come to visit e ity which radio and wireless teleg- | in recent} jamong the injured Indian women: Se THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE PIT 7 | ‘ .

You can bat, Weeny, and Nick can be umpire to decide who wins, and Nancy can watch.” “That's fine!” cried Nick Nancy and Weeny together. They all went to the ball-field and after meeting Kicky's friends, the game began, with Weeny at the bat.

Robinson, has this new idea: “Every day I become more and more con-' vinced that the love instinct is the real cause of most hu- man misery; much more important than the bread question. “And I want to say that he who would contribute some- j | pact: solve the love question—he who would succeed in perhaps destroying romantic love altogether (don’t stare!), ‘he’ who would uproot jealousy, will be one of humanity’s greatest benefactors... Perhaps the greatest, I consider a cure for love and jealousy more important than a cure for cancer, tuberculosis or pneumonia.” {Love does cause.a lot of misery. That's undeniable. But love brings far more joy and peace than misery and trouble. The misery and trouble are the price we pay for love. full price, to the last cent. There is no escaping the pay- ment. And love is no exception. 3 upeeteta Why is it necessary for love to cause misery as well as joy, aside from the “nkture’s price” idea?
