of the entire record the conrt is
convinced that there would be a
miscarriage of justice otherwise,
that would at one stroke render
technicalities harmless. And if
the number of appeals and the
time within which they are al
lowed to be filed were restricted,
that would greatly hasten the
conclusion of all cases.
•Georgia, too, should change the
rule which permits the defendant
in a criminal case to make an un
sworn statement to the jury with
out being subject to cross-exam

chooses to testify, should be treat-
Kntered as second-das* matter at the (ij jjjjg other witnesses.

The national protest that haR
arisen over the increased pension
appropriation bill is what makes
known the fact that the day of
the pork barrel is past.
And the renson that it is past
is the very simple one that the
people have got “wise” to its
meaning. They have come to seo
unmistakably that the pork Bar-
rel is nothing more nor less than
a flagrant violation of the cher
ished principle of “Eqhal rights
for all, special privileges to
none.”
Extra fat appropriations for
pensions, public buildings and

Expediting the Administration
of the Criminal Law.
The superior court -judged of
the state at their recent confer*
oner- appointed a committee to
receive nuggeRtions from the
bench nmf bar and from the pub
lic ns to how better results may
he obtained from the administra
tion of the criiniual laws.
The committee is to report its
findings and its recommenda
tions theron to another confer
ence of thi) judges which is to
be held next April, and which, in
turn, is to point out to the legis
lature changes that need to be
made in the criminal code.
At the present conference there
was no dissent to the fact that
the administration of the crim
inal laws is embarrassed by tech
nicalities, delays and too lax a
system of appeals, and the rea
son that this condition has not
been remedied before was also
clearly pointed out, namely, the
legislature refuses to pass the
remedial measure*.
Here seems to be the crux of
the entire matter. Everybody
admits the necessity of stricter
rules for the criminal adminis
tration, but when it comes ac
tually to writing them into law
the legislature balks.
Public opinion wants the re
form and public opinion must be
come strong enough to force it
thru the legislative channels.
It is easy enough to say what
should be done—the trouble is
to get it done. If the rule should
be made that appellate courts
should not reverse any criminal
at-, unless upon an examination
This, of course, is not saying
tlist sane appropriations are not
needed for these purposes, but it
is inveighing against padding ap
propriations for the votes it may
bring the party which succeeds
in putting.it thru.
The people want no more such
vote soliciting.
• Congress was no doubt, sur
prised at tho revolt of the coun
try against its recent, filling of
the pension barrel, and already it
is showing signs of heeding the
meaning of tho revolt.
“The news from Washington,”
eomirfents The Courier-Journal,
“is that some members of the
house of representatives have be
come alarmed at the criticism of
the apparent intention of the
house to tilt the treasury and
pour out its contents in the form
of pensions, public building ap
propriations and other pork
measures, and that they intend to
beat a dignified retreat. Any ro-
treat from a program of ill-ad
vised extravagance would be dig
nified.”

From The New York Evening Post.
It Is impoeslble not tn admire the
courage of Mr. Ft. T. Crane, of Chicago,
In bringing a railing acucsatlon against
all our higher education. . He makes
thorough work of It. First he disposed
of tho universities. Next he exposed
higher schooling In general. His "De
moralisation of College Life" followed,
but this was only a side-investigation
of his, si by-product, as It were, of his
factory- How he returns to the main
line of his attack, and Issues In pam
phlet form an address on "The Futility
of Technical Schools." This la plainly
to assault higher education In Its last
baBtlon. Doubts about the value of high
schools and colleges and universities
have crept Into the minds of many
“practical" Americans, but tqoat of
them have been ready until now to
swear by- technical education. It i«.
Indeed, the growing xoal for that which
haa made Inroads Into tho old courses
of study, brought In all the new Ideas
about "vocational" training of our boy,
and girls, and broken down tho Classi
cal curriculum by. the forcing In of so
much science. In fact, the way of
salvation for the modern world has
been sold by many Authorities to Me In
the development of technical education.
German superiority In that line has
affrighted England and led her to be
stir herself. American efforts In tho
same direction have been notable In
recent years. We have had many new
foundations for technical education and
seen old one, greatly enlarged. But
now comes Mr. Crane to tell us that
all this Is vanity and vexation of spirit.
His Specifications are advanced with
great confidence and with what he ad
mits to bo "luirshlwss." The popularity
of techhlcol schools is due to the fact
that they "afford educators opportuni
ty to humbug you and the public • • •
all of which is a part of the whole
higher educational scheme to fleece you
and the public.” Boys In such schools
are there "simply thru the grossest de
ception.”. Mr. Crane challenges .the
"heads of these Institutions'* to show
“any substantial results of such train
ing." Indeed, he wont to headquarters,
lind wrote to p.dozen Institutes of tech
nology to- demand the name*, and nd-
dresres of firms that employed their
graduates. , Most of them. "either re
fused to glvo the Information or dodged
the question.'/- Naturally. Sir. Crane's
worst fears were confirmed. After .that
It was hardly necessary for him tq press
homo the argument that "this country
was Immensely .successful before'the
technical schools were established.”
Let It not be thought that Mr. Crane
Is simply a destructive critic. He ha,
his alternative to propose. It Is ".expe
rience.” Instnnd of wasting six or eight
years In technical schools, let the bright
boya of sixteen or seventeen he put at
once Into the shop. Shift them about
from oho machine to another, let tho
emplqyera and, foremen keep a sharp
eye upon them, and help and advance
them a* occasion offer*, and then, with
an attendance on night schools "os
much a* 1* necessary," and with the
reading of, useful books, you would
cants. He falls by his own
"experience;'' he would have scant pa,-
tience with anybody who should sub
mit a business proposal about Which ho
knew as little directly as Mr. Crane
knows about the Institutions he" 'so
rudely assails.. He can not be, aware
how Intensely tfructleal Is the disci
pline of these schools: how in their
laboratories and shops they seek to give
their students a vivid-sense of scien
tific • truth in actual application.- thps
affording them a.controlled.and con
centrated "experience" certainly worth
as much ns anything to be-gained in
the routine of a factory. Nor can Mr.
Qrane be fnmlllar With the-fact that
technical studenta arc regularly and
frequently sent to Inspect the great .en
gineering dml manufacturing plants, so
that their knowledge of modern proc
esses may be kept up to dsuK* Severe
mathematical and mechanical studies
are,, of course, made compulsory, but
the aim Is: throughout to show how
they Impinge on practice. At bottom
there is no such anlthesls between ex
perience and education as Mr. Crane

the IlMiealth due to Christmas strain—
the strain of shopping, of entertaining,
of being entertained, of giving and of re

at least, of Christmas fireworks and
drunkenness. We need to remodel our
ideas of Christmas celebration, and the
