More important than Casey, Burns, Phillips, Governor Pierce, Mayor Brown, President Coolidge, or any other American you may care to mention, alive or dead, high or low, is public confidence in Law Justice. And such cases as the Burns-and-Casey case destroy Public confidence in Law and Justice. Because here Law and Justice—or Law or Justice—erred; erred when it let Burns go free or erred when it hanged Casey. Public belief in the consistency of Law and Justice is Worth more than ten thousand live: Better to have let Casey go free th ict Justice Of inconsistency.

A Fair “Living” Wage Samuel D. Warriner, head of the anthracite operators’ committee, is quoted as saying “We believe the wage paid anthracite miners today is a fair and just living Wage.” Whenever an employer of labor thus, uses that word “living” in a controversy about wages, we know precisely what his mental attitude is toward the whole so-called labor problem. It is the attitude of the feudal over-lord who looks upon his employes as retainers to be paid just enough to keep them in health to produce profits for said over-lord. A “just and fair wage” is one thing, a “just and fair LIVING wage” is quite something else. Every man or woman who works is entitled to a just and fair wage, based upon an equitable tribution be- tween wages and profits of the wealth produced. There ig no more reason for limiting wages to the mere “living” point than there is for limiting profit jn the same way. The profits of the anthracite mine owners always have been and now are extraordinarily large. They are en- tirely out of line with profits in industry as a whole in this country. All the anthracite miners have ever got out of it is €nough to live at a certain standard, none too high, de- cided upon by the operators. The operators fix their own profits, fix the price the consumer must pay and refuse to raise wages on the ground that their employes are living—or words to that effect. Two books widely read in Japan, “The Relations Between the Fam- ily and Society” and “The Meaning of Social Progress,” have been pub- lished by Nagastugu Yamamoto Kacada, a former student of the State College of Washington. ‘The Pathfinder thinks it is a strange paradox that, while motor cars are increasing unprecedentedly, pedestrians also are advancing “by leaps and bounds.” No paradox!

The only clue was a single hair held tightly in the fingers of the victim, Hans F stock broker. Scientists in the courtroom proved by chemistry that the hair came from Schultz's head. He broke down and confessed. There is no perfect crime, except in fiction and the movies.
