The states of New England have set up . reasonable standards for the importation of milk from eclsewhere and Senator Bingham had a brilliant opportunity to show that the federal government has no business attempting to raise a higher standard than Its own health authorities deem | expedient. But he muffed the oppor- tunity; he didn’t vote as he has talk- od.

And nohody has yet heen able to prove hat the cows in Canada don't func- maritime much milk prod of tion just about as well, purity con- sldered, as the cows of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The upshot of the new law will be Canada cannot be it meets an un- standard, while that milk from imported except reasonable high milk from the middle west can be brought here without meeting such a standard. Senators Bingham and McLean, state's rights talkers, did not oppose t manifest state's his violation of rights.

How “fair” the department of agriculture will be in enforcing the the law can be contemplated from‘ the manner in which it placed’ an embargo upon narcissus bulbs from abroad on the score they were bring- | ing bugs into the country. The most eminent scientists could not find any | of the bugs, but the federal bureau went right ahead in its endeavor to “help” the domestic narcissus grow- ers—ith the result that instead of y dis- narcissus bulbs being tributed among the population they have become a rarity.

There is no sign that either federal or British crimin- al procedure is inferior to the judi- clal procedure in some of our states. The truth is, there is no comparison. What stimulated thought in con- nection with the state's judicial sys- tems was an article in the Review of Reviews written by Edward Beach Howell, a noted lawyer. The article is headed, “Inefficient Courts ime Wave.” It clearly in- themselves and the C dicates that the courts are more than partly to blame for of crime we have been i the wave having of late yea e article is convincinge. The state only one tem of muzzling the of the defective shment, the judge s points enumerated. Pu lawyer says, to be effective must be certain, and not necessarily severe. “An important discovery in my school work was that, for punish- ment to be effective, it is more im- portant that it should be certain than that it should be severe. The teacher who notes the first (and each) in- fraction of a rule and puaishes with moderation and firmness will have | good order; while the teacher who! overlooks nine i ions, on tol punish with excessive severity the| tent®, will have chaos. The worst defect in American| | jurisprudence, he adds, is the “ab-| surd line along which the jury tem has developed. “It has come to be conside the man who has heard eomcthing | {about the case and formed an| nion as fo its merits is thereby disqualified to he a juryman. Knowl- | edge of the facts should no more dis- | qualify the jury than it does the| judge. * * * Numerous perempto 1n‘l\fi es are allowed; the prosccu- | tion uges these to eliminate the ‘low- | brow' jurymen, and the defense uses | them to get rid of the ‘high brows.
