FANNY CROSBY.
Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer, died today at her home in
Bridgeport, Conn., and the Christian world mourns. •
Eight thousand hymns of Christian worship sung in Protestant
churches throughout the world, are the work of Fanny Crosby. No one
since the days of Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts has made anywhere
near as large a contribution to the gospel song book as did the blind
writer whose death occurred today.
Fanny Crosby's name was signed so regularly as author of one
hymn after another that the hymn book makers of a quarter of a cen-
tury ago were forced to give her Borne 200 different pen names to make
it appear that someone besides the famous writer had contributed.
Thousand—perhaps hundreds of thousands— who sang her songs, which
were translated into every language, djd not know that it was a blind
woman's inspiration which they employed to express their Christian
faith and hope in song.
"Saved by Grace," "Blessed Assurance," "Rescue the Perishing," and
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus" are typical of Fanny Crosby's most popular
religious verses. ft &*( S 'i K. A iS. **11 t AB

"Geography, Travel, Exploration" is the title of a new free price
list just issued by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C.,
in which are enumerated many government publications containing in-
formation regarding places at home and abroad. Any one of the pub-
lications may be had by forwarding a nominal sum covering cost of
issue, to the office of the superintendent. Prices range from 3 cents to
most of the sums, however, being less than $1.

of the United States and its territories, geographically, geologically, and
historically.
THE HUMIN SIDE.
What the most of us, down at the bottom, like best about that
speech of Mr. Wilson's at Indianapolis is the human touch to it, says
the Louisville Times. As a review of the acts of his administration, as
a summing up of the present situation in so far as it affects business
conditions, as a presentation of the democratic side of the argument,
as a definition of the United States' attitude towjfrd Mexico and the
weaker nations with which we touch elbows, as an earnest of our pur-
pose to serve the now warring peoples of Europe, when the time for
service is come, what Mr. Wilson had to say could not have lieen better
said, and no President in recent times has had anything to say that was
better worth the saying. The record of his administration in its first
two years is the record of the furthest advance yet made in the science I
of government, the intelligently planned and successfully executed use 1
of party machinery with an eye single to the public good.
To great problems Mr. Wilson has already written the finis of great '
achievement, and the end is not yet. But what comes home to us com-
mon folk is his revelation of himself, not as a triumph of mind over
matter, but as a "really, truly" human being, who confesses to being
lonesome at times and who give® concrete evidence that he rather wel- ;
comes a fight for the fight's Fake. !
FOR MEMBER SCHOOL BOARD.
Dr. H. H. Wilson authorizes the
announcement that he is a candi-
date for member of the board of
education from the third ward, sub-
ject to the democratic primary elec-
tion.

'^Breathe all the fresh air you can
get, night and day,"' is the advice
given in one of the press bulletins
of the United States Public Health
Service. "The fearsome legend about
the baleful influences of 'night air'
is only another of the carefully
nursed insanitary bequests from our
ancestors."
The author of the bulletin sur-
mises that the superstition with re-
gard to night air may be a "sur-
vival of the primeval cult of sun
worship," but rejoices that "this
generation has witnessed the eman-
cipation of human beings in respect
to the value of fresh air."
The world has learned much of
the value of fresh air. and lias over-
come much of its prejudice against
night air in recent years, but edu-
cation on the subject is not univer-
sal. There are some millions of
people who still fear drafts and
who believe it is the proper thing.!
from the standpoint of personal I
health, to sleep in rooms from
which the outside air is carefully
excluded. Then there are those who
valiantly advocate ventilation in
summer, but ingloriously capitulate
when the thermometer is lingering*
in the \icinity of tlie zero mark.
Lack of ventilation in places of
public assembly is conspicuous. The
same may be said of strict cars
and other public conveyances. There
may be localities where common
st-nse in such matters lias Vanished
superstition, but one need not travel
very far in Louisville to find out
the need of further education as a
prerequisite to "emanciapation."—

BttOADEK SCOPE.
While courts and bar associations
are busy setting to rights ancient
and traditional methods of getting
justice done, it is encouraging to
note also how present conditions
of society, especially in Urge cities
in the United States, are inducing
new experiments of a judicial sort.
The "public defender" has come to
pass as a people's lawyer, named
by the community for defense of
the legally defenseless as occasion
calls, and balancing the work of
the public prosecutor. The juvenile
court has come to deal with the
child who, whether homeless or not,
is in need of friends and of wise
discipline when, knowingly or un-
knowingly, he runs counter to com-
munity law. Nor is this the latest
form of specialized judicial proced-
ure that time has brought during
the last five years. Steadily, pa-
tiently and carefully an effort is be-
ing made, through tribunals special-
ly constituted, to lessen the national
divorce rate, by mediation between
husbands and wives.
Let these newer courts operate
for any considerable time in any
community, and the amount of work
devolving on the older and more
traditional agencies of justice will
lesson perceptibly. For a court of
conciliation to work steadily among
the plain people of a city as the
newly established tribunal has be-
gun work in Cleveland, Ohio, is to
prove the superiority of the new
method over that more "belligerent
process of forensic and legal strife
implied by the conventional court
procedure. The new way reveals
the judge going out among the peo-
ple as well as them coming to him.
It allow's for the consideration of
facts that should shape the judg-
ment of the court, but that under
customary rules of evidence could
not be allowed to enter the case.
The work is carried forward on a
scale of such simplicity of execu-
tion, and is so stripped of all ex-
pensive fees and dues that the plain
people# can seek it out and ask for
help. The nominating motive of the
judge is reconciliation of disputants
and would-be litigants, and he la
free to get as much justice done
as it *is possible to obtain, and he
is not bound to give a decision of
either conviction or acquittal. He
may compromise on a clean slate,
and the pledge of a right new start.
Penalties are not absolute, but rel-
ative. Sentences are not rigid, but
are indeterminate. Litigants are led
to see each other's qualities more
I clearly.
j That such a system will raise
| the standards of demand on the
judiciary must be apparent. It i*e-
I quires more insight, discernment,
j sympathy and understanding of men
I than was called for by' the older
j system. The discretionary power in-
! trusted to the court calls for fine-
I ness of character equal to the
trUtt Christian Science Monitor.

That In Reality Is What Is Meant
by Martial Law.
SUSPENDS ALL OTHER LAWS.
Those In Command Have Supreme Au-
thority, and There Is No Check Upon
Their Arbitrary Power Over Persona
and Property of All Kinds.
What Is martial law? Some people
have a vague idea that it is military
law, but this is a mistake. Military
law has nothing whatever to do with
martial law Military law Is simply
that branch of the laws applicable to
military service and duties, consisting
of the statute^ regulations and prin-
ciples by which the army ana its af-
fairs are governed. The misunder-
standing has arisen partly from the
name given to lj and partly from £he
fact that it Is the military which fre-
quently carry out the regulations,
while often the military forms of
courts are held.
The police, however, if duly author-
ized, may carry out martial law.
It is difficult to define the meaning of
martini law in nontechnical words.
The dictionary definition of martial law
is that it is military authority exer-
cised in accordance with the laws and
usages of war when the civil authority
is wholly or partly suspended, either
by proclamation or by the actual pres
ence of a hostile force. But the best
definition given has been that of "no
law."
It means that the supreme authority
is empowered to do as it wills and that
all ordinary laws, for the time being,
have no operation whatever. There are
no laws dealing with ita application,
those In command possessing entirely
aibitrary powet
This means that there will be a com
"plete revolution in the ways of the
people wherever martial law is pro
claimed. All ordinary life will be af
fected, and it will no longer be the
case that "an Englishman's home is
his castle."
As a rule, when a place is under
martial law Its Inhabitants must clear
out of the streets before a certain
time every evening, say 8 o'clock.
Then all places of amusement, public
bouses and so on are closed entirely.
Even during the daytime a limit is
made as to the number of people who
may assemble, so that a party of peo-
ple—numbering above, say, half a dor-
en—would be liable to Instant punish
ment Also certain places and certain
streets are forbidden to the people,
who may be compelled to keep beyond
a certain radius from the specified
places.
Those In authority may take any
object they like from anywhere, enter
ing houses as well as shops to com
mandeer whatever they wish without
any control. Any person may be com-
pelled to give a complete account of hi9
movements, past, present and project-
ed. and may be searched or even ar
rested without a warrant.
Crimes are dealt with very severely
Thus suppose a man breaks a win
dow. Instead of being hauled up be-#
fore a magistrate and subjected to a
small fine, the policeman wotM be
perfectly Justified in shooting him lm
mediately.
So In the case of robbery. A man
stealing a purse need not be arrested,
but could l e shot, this beinir a perfect-
ly Justifiable action on the part of
those In authority.
Every person might be compelled to
carry a passport, giving full evidence
of his id ntilieation Passports would
be necessary 'in the case of those using
horses or vehicles of any kind, lnclud
ing cycles.
All persons who were compelled to
be out at night would be provided
wjth special night passes signed,by
the one in authority. No person would
be allowed to leave one town foe an
other or travel beyond a certain dis
tance without being the possessor of
a properly signed passport given for
this special purpose
The object, of course. Is to keep the
people within certain districts and also
to prevent foreign spies and the like
from movinu into the country and so
gleaning information of value to our
enemies - Philadelphia inquirer.
