Judicial Repression
Just why in a country iu which the
vast majority of judges are elected by
popular vote there should be ex-
pressed in law such a superstitious ter-
ror lest a Judge should give any ex-
r'ession of his own personality is puz-
zling in tte extreme In many states
writcs George W Alger in Atlantic
and particularly in those in which a
firm and vigorous administration of
Justice is of urgent importance the
Judge sho presides at a criminal trial
is not permitted by law to be a judge
in any real or vital sense He must
not comment on the evidence he must
not review the facts and set thtm in
coherent order before the Jury he
must not sift the testimony and sepa-
rate the material from the immaterial
he must above all things refrain from
expressing in any wise a personal
opinion on anything from the start
of the trial to its close He must deal
out abstract rules of law and leave the
Jury to their own devices with such
blind guidance in endeavoring to apply
thar law to the facts If he sees them
swayed by misleading eloquence he
must not set them in the path of rea-
son for justice's sake He is a pilot
who must not touch the wheel The
vigorous commeinding figure of the
English judge is by law excluded from
the great majority of our criminal
courts The summary of facts in the
charge which for example Justice
Bingham gave a few years ago to an
English jury in the sensational case of
Whittaker Wright the great swind-
ling promoter would have meant an
inevitable reversal and new trial for
"error” in any lynch law state in this
country
Defects of Criminal Law
There are two reasons why criminal
law reform is a pressing problem to-
day One is the repression by that re
form of lynch law The other is not
less important We need that reform
says an Atlantic writer because the
social condition of our day Impera-
tively demands a substantial Increase
in the scope and power of criminal
law a system strong enough to meet
the rew and Increasing requirements
of our ciivilization for corrective and
repressive criminal law A system too
complicated to deal out certain Justice
to common offenders ignorant and
brutal poor in purse and influence
can never adequately deal with our
new clas3 of big business criminals
with the men who get rich by fraud
the corporation inflates and wreckers
the faithless trustees and grafting di-
rectors the exploiters of municipal!
ties the magnates who gle bribes
and the bosses who take them the
trust operators who sin against hon-
esty in business who break the law
against monopolies who give and take
forbidden rebates How can predatory
wealth powerful influential often in-
trenched in office be punished by a sys-
tem which creaks groans and o’ten
breaks down in bringing a border ruf-
fian to justice?
Intellect in Sex
The common Impression that the av-
erage man is superior to the average
woman intellecually at least in orig-
inality inventiveness reasoning pow-
er aud the like is beyond doubt due
to the common habit of judging each
sex by its most superior representa-
tives This seems fair enough and
would be fair enough says a writer
in the Bookman but for the difference
between the sexes in variability that
is the range of sprciding down from
and up tho average in intellectual
traits at least the male sex is the more
variable group the very highest and
very lowest marks in a mixed college
class will commonly be given to men
the variability found among boys in
the numerous mental tests which have
been given by psychological invest!
gators is from five to ten per cent
greater than that found among girls
Of the thousand most eminent Intel
lects of history 97 per cent are men
the variability which causes tho mo-
nopoly of genius causing also the ex
istence of twice as many male as fe-
male idiots!

WAS WEAK AND DIZZY
Dr Williams’ Pink Pills Restored the
Patient to Perfect Health
And Strength
Mrs Mary Gagner of No 678 South
Summer street Holyoke Mass has
passed through an experience which
rroves that some of the greatest bless-
ugs of life may lie within easy reach
and yet bo found only by mere chance
A few years ago while she was employed
in the mills she was suddenly seized
with dizziness and great weakness “ I
was so weak at times” she says “that
I could hardly stand and my head be-
enme so dizzy that It seemed us if the
floor was moving aronnd
" Sly condition at last became so bnd
thnt I was obliged to give np work in tiie
mill and luter still I became so feebly
that I could not even attend to me
household duties After the slightest
exertion I had to lie down and rest until
regained strength
“A friend who had nsed Dr Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to
try them X bought a box hhd began to
take them The benefit was so positive
and so quickly evident that I continued
to use the pills until I had taken alto-
gether six boxes By that time I was
entirely cured and for two years I have
had no return of my trouble I am now
in the best of health and able to attend
to all my duties I am glad to acknowl-
edge the benefit I received and I hope
that my statement- may be the means of
inducing others who may suffer in this
wav to try this wonderful medicine"
The secret of the power of Dr Wil-
liams’ Pink Pills in cases of debility
such as Mrs Gagner’s lies in the fact
that they make new blood and every or-
und even every tiny nerve in the
xidy feels the stir of a new tide of
strength
Dr Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or will be sent postpaid on
receipt of price 60 cents per box six
boxes for $250 by the Dr Williams

Dignified Practical Joker
One can hardly Imagine that dignl

Lady Henry Somerset as a practical
joker and yet It Is a fact that she
together with her cousin Lady Dudley
once dressed Uj as a pair of French
tourists and In this guise and heavily
veiled visited her place at Eastnor
castle and went all over it But ap-
parently she was not sufficiently im-
pressed by the beauties of her own
residence for afterward her house-
keeper confided to her that “that Duch-
esse de Montmoreuci” — the name
which Lady Henry had given herself
— “was a disagreeable creature”

There are two Quakers In the house
of representatives Mr Cocks of New

The latter Is known as the "fighting
Quaker” and It is only when he gets
excited that lie lapses into the lan-

is pushed into a controversy on the
floor he is very apt to say “thee” for
“you” For a man of peace Mr Butler
who only came into the house in the
Fifty-fifth congress has had his share
to do with war He Is still a man of
peace however but has satisfied him-
self that the only way to maintain
peace Is to be so prepared for war

FOUND OUT
Trained
Nurse Discovered Its
Effect
No one Is In better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse
Speaking of coffee a nurse of Wilkes-
Barre Pa writes: "I used to drink
strong coffee myself and suffered great-
ly from headaches and Indigestion
While on a visit to my brothers I had
a good chance to try Postum Food
Coffee for they drank It altogether in
place of ordinary coffee In two weeks
after using Postum I found I was
much benefited and finally my head-
aches disappeared and also the Indi-
gestion “Naturally I have since used Postum
among my patients and have noticed a
marked benefit where coffee has been
left off and Postum used
“I observe a curious fact about Post-
um used among mothers It greatly
helps the flow of milk In cases where
coffee is Inclined to dry It up and
where tea causes nervousness
“I find trouble In getting servants to
make PoBtum properly They most al-
ways serve it before it has been boiled
long enough It should be boiled 16 or
20 minutes and served with cream
when it is certainly a delicious bever
age”

The Woman Looking
for a Position
Registering with Some Reliable Busi-
ness Agency Will Increase One’s
Chances of Procuring Work —
Teachers -Wishing for Fall Posi-
tions Should Apply in the Spring
— Cash Payments and Per Cent of
Salary Are Required by Agencies
—Women Who Are Well-Dressed
Stand Better Show — ‘-Seek Work
with a Courageous Heart and Ex-
pect to Get It”
BY KATHERINE LOUISE SMITH
(Copyright 1HU6 by Joseph B Bowles)
It often occurs that a woman de-
sires to obtain a position as a teacher
or in some business office She may
make a personal application but the
field in which she lives is necessarily
limited and she of course desires to
know what she can do in various lo-
calities In this case she can either
apply directly by letter to schools or
business bouses or she can register
with some school or business agency
These are to be found In all large
cities but as some are more responsi-
ble than others It Is well for Ihe wom-
an to make enquiries before becoming
a member
Having satisfied herself as to the in-
tegrity of the Bchool or business
agency the first move should be to
write to them state what position 13
desired ask if they make a specialty
of providing positions for any particu-
lar line of work and enquire concern-
ing their terms for admission and
commission There is plenty of time
after receiving the reply for a woman
to become a member of the agency if
she is satisfied with Its responsibility
Usually it is a good plan when the
position of teacher is wished to reg-
ister several months in advance of the
time when the position is desired
Spring is none too eagly to register for
a fall position as most schools know
what vacancies they will have before
the close of the summer term
Recently there have been opened a
few reliable business agencies for the
purpose of supplying clerkships or
commercial positions to tnose who de-
sire them These are patronized by ed-
ucated and intelligent men and women
who are capable of holding responsible
and confidential offices For the great
army of women belong to the so-called
laboring class state employment
agencies and charitable institutions
furnish opportunities for employment
They keep on hand a list of persons
who will work and of places where
work is desired About a dozen states
have these free employment bureaus
which are so successful it i to be re-
gretted that every state does not open
one The merit of registering with a
central bureau in all these cases lies
in the fact that they may know of
dozens of opportunities for work where
the applicant may working alone
know of only one
In case a woman registers with a
school or business agency she will be
asked to pay a certain sum frequently
two dollars which enrolls her as a
member for a certain time usually one
year She will also be expected to
sign a paper to the effect that she will
pay a certain commission if she ac-
cepts the position Usually this is five
per cent of the first year’s salary or
income no matter how long the posi-
tion is held Often the position is in
a boarding school In which' case com-
mission is estimated on the salary and
two hundred dollars over this being
tne rate at which board is ' calculated
for a school year Often one has to
pay higher In proportion for a short
period than for a long time For In-
stance a professorship in a summer
school costs more to obtain than one
for the whole year When a position
is accepted for income instead of sal-
ary a certain sum is required when the
engagement is made Rules of course
differ with these agencies but the
above is a fair schedule
Rapidity of action is always desira-
ble in applying for a place A school
or business firm may have several ap-
plications in one day anu time counts
here as elsewhere An Interview in
person Is always more effectual than
by letter If a woman is In doubt aB
to the best time to appiy It may be
well to write and ask for an appoint-
ment When one calls In person a cor-
rectly engraved calling card should be
Bent to the person one desires to see
by tne cierk who meets strangers or If
the person one desires to see is met at
once without intermediary it is well
to present the card while introducing
oneself This helps to fix the name in
the memory of a business man and the
card can later be referred to if It is
kept If the position of teacher Is de-
sired the officers and members of the
board should be called on separately
and the subject brouched in the most
favorable manner Aside from the de-
sirability of presenting the case in a
forceful way a great deal depends on
testimonials
“The matter of dress of an applicant
for a position seems to be a much
mooted question In your opinion
does It make any difference?” A Com-
petent Teacher
Yes much depends on personal ap-
pearance A tastefully and appropri-
ately dressed woman wio Is clad as
well as her means will allow-will ob-
tain a position where a poorly dressed
or dowdy woman will not She will
reach the chief executive to whom she
wishes to apply sooner than if she is
attired in a manner that betokens
careleHaness or poor taste for clerks
will take her card more readily In
business or school well dreaBed wom-
en ore desired women whose uppear-
ance Indicates that they care for their
person and an applicant Is apt to be
judged by teh impression she creates
at the time of her call
“I desire a position and have made
several applications but either fail
to see the rerson I desire or meet with
a brief answer ' Can you suggest a
reason?” A Discouraged Woman
If your credentials and fitness for
the position are satisfactory it may
happen that you call at the wrong
time Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the desirability of selecting a
favorable moment Many a woman has
lost a situation because she applied at
the busiest hour of the day when the
person she desired to see was pushed
for time A woman may desire an of-
fice position in which case she does not
better her cause by calling at a time
when her hoped for employer wishes to
go home to lunch or is rushed with
outside mdtters There are certain
days and certain times of the day
when a person Is freer tnan at other
times and it is well to try to select
this auspicious moment
Saturday is always a poor day to
talk with the proprietor of a store
School hours are a bad time to select
when applying for a school position
and if one wants a position on a Sun-
day paper one should know that every
editor is too busy on the last days of
the week to hear graciously any peti-
tions from outsiders
No matter what the position desired
it is desirable to leave matters so that
a second call can be made provided an
acceptance is not decided upon The
conversation on the part of the appli-
cant should be formulated in her mind
before entering the office and she
should go to the root of the matter at
once state what position she desires
her ability to fill it and what creden-
tials she can offer One of the best
agencies In the country has for its
motto: “Seek work with a courageous
heart and expect to get it”
No better advice can be given if
added to this one has the common
sense to remember that for every po-
sition there are hundreds of appli-
cants and a refusal in one place does
not necessarily mean the same in an-
other If a merchant was to close his
store because the first person who
came in did not buy goods he would
soon fail The position is simply re-
versed In the case of an applicant that
is all A courageous heart and a will
ingness to work accomplish wonders
WAS TAKING HIS CHANCES
Agriculturist Held His Potatoes at
Stiff Price for the Salad
Market
I was driving along the highway as a
Long island farmer was digging pota
toes and Btopped to ask how much ho
expected to get a bushel for them re-
lates a writer in the Washington Post
He said ho would tell me if I would
wait for a few minutes and he dropped
his hoe and went to the house He
was inside a good 20 minutes and
when he reappeared his wife came to
the door with him
“Bay mister” said the old man as
he got back to the fence “do you know
anything about them articles on "Fren-
zied Finance?”
“You mean those written by Lawson
of Boston?”
"Yes he’s the feller I have been try-
ing to find that last article of his but
it has been mislaid I can’t remember
whether he advises us farmers to go
long or short on ’taters but I’m willin
to take chances on it”
"Well what figure will you put on
five bushels of potatoes?"
"I guess about four dollars a bushel
as they run!”
I tried to convince him that he was
$260 above the market price but he
said that potato salad was going to bo
all the go in fashionable society and
would lead to a sharp advance In the
price of tubers and he w’ent to wills
tling and digging again as I drove off
CAUSING IRON
New
TO GROW
Process Which Is Said to Ac-
complish This Singu-
lar Feat
According to a paragraph in Knowl-
edge the Franklin institute ha3
awarded a gold medal for a new proc-
ess by which iron can be made to
“grow" The process is said to con-
sist in several times heating the iron
to a certain critical temperature and
cooling it between times whereby the
astonishing result is obtained of in-
creasing the iron to nearly half as
large again It is reported that two
identical castings were made and one
reserved for comparison while the
other was subjected to this new treat-
ment One side of each was ma-
chined and polished so that examina-
tion of the grain and structure might
be made but little difference could
be discerned except in point of size
which was very marked The weight
of the swelled casting was identical
with thut of the one with which it was
compared but in all other respects the
metal appeared to be of similar char-
acter After this one is not surprised
to learn that Important practical ap-
plications huve already been found for
the remarkuble discovery Indeed new
uses suggest -themselves instantly to
the mind The Btory is so extraor-
dinary however thnt it may be accept-
ed with some hesitutioh until confirma-
tion is afforded
