People Want More Speed In the Execution of Criminals

By Judge ROBERT RALSTON of Philadelphia

~T“"W T the present day an impression more or less WIDESPREAD !■■■ appears to prevail that the administration of the criminal J .JL law in this country is too SLOW; that there are seemingly endless delays at all stages of the proceedings. The subject has been discussed by many ab|e and eminent men and also in the public press. IF THE SENTIMENTS TO BE GATHERED FROM THESE SOURCES TRULY REFLECT THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE, THERE IS AN EARNEST DESIRE THAT THE CRIMINAL LAW SHALL BE PROMPTLY ADMINISTERED AND THE PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME FOLLOW CONVICTION WITHOUT DELAY. When the FINAL judgment is affirmed on a criminal the case is ended so far as the courts are concerned. Nothing remains to be done but to execute the sentence. The prisoner has been found guilty by a jury instructed to resolve all reasonable doubts in his favor; the trial judge, often with one or more of his colleagues, has examined the testimony and decided that the verdict is in accordance with its weight; the supreme court, with PAINSTAKING CARE, has not only reviewed the charge and rulings of the trial judge, but also the evidence, and has reached the conclusion that all the elements of murder of the first degree have been proved to exist and that the prisoner has had a fair and impartial trial. 4 It seems reasonable to assume that the prisoner’s guilt has been established and that the execution of the sentence ought to follow within a SHORT TIME. SUCH, HOWEVER, IS NOT THE CASE. Experience shows that many months pass away before the prisoner learns his fate.

Time Has Arrived For China to Wake Up

In Ten Years the World Will Hear From Her

By LIANG TUNG YEN.

CHIN A is just waking up to her COMMERCIAL POSSIBILITIES. She needs factories and machinery, such as I saw recently at Niagara Falls. She does not dream of the fortunes locked in her mines and of the advantages of pushing her railroads through the sealed forests of her land. EDUCATION will he China’s SALVATION. When she has cultivated fanners, engineers, merchants and business men then she will begin to realize her possibilities, and our Chinese Rockefellers and Carnegies will begin to SPRING UP out of what is at present raw material. IN TEN YEARS AMERICA WILL HEAR FROM CHINA, AND THERE WILL BE GOOD TIDINGS—MAYBE LOFTY DEPARTMENT STORES OF A HUNDRED STORIES AND GREAT IRON MONSTERS LASHING THEIR STEEL TAILS FOR MILES UNDERGROUND.

American Spirit Needs to Be Educated

By Rabbi S. SCHULMAN

j V MERIC ANS of today are so taken up in their eagerness to acquire money that they forget altruism. J -JL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED EDUCATION OF THE SPIRIT. The interest in the conflict of parties centers exclusively in the division of the PRODUCTS OF INDUSTRY. Life is neither wages nor profits. The greatest things ever accomplished were done for NOTHING. The teacher, the scholar, the artist and the poet have given humanity the best in them because of consecration to their cause.

Brain More Than Brawn Needed by Policemen

By Inspector EDWARD HUGHES,

CFLEmain thing that was required of a policeman ten years ago was brawn. Today brain is required as well. IN FACT, INTELLIGENCE IS THE MAIN REQUISITE OF EITHER A GOOD POLICEMAN OR A GOOD DETECTIVE. By that, though, I do not mean to make TOO LITTLE of physical strength. ... ' ■-

HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE

Window Screen That Moves on Stationary Guides.

An ingenious variation of the guideways for sliding, window screens has been invented by an Illinois man. This form of screen moves up and down on stationary grooves set inside the window frame and usually is put in place by having a spring attachment on one end. In the device here shown the guides are made in two sections, the lower of which ar<* stationary and the upper being hinged to the top of the window. When the latter is in vertical position it forms an uninterrupted groove with the bottom section. It is very easy to adjust a screen on this form of guide, as the upper part of the guide can be pulled out at the bottom and the screen slipped into it. The guide is then allowed to drop back into place, and as the screen slides down over the point of intersection of the two pathways it holds both in exact alignment It is easy to remove these screens to wash the windows.

Put the bay leaf, pepper corns and mace into a saucepan, add two cupfuls of boiling water, cover the pan. simmer for fifteen minutes, strain and measure the liquid.
