"VAC KING TMK BEC1I-
Attorney Gensral McCarter of New
Jersey accuses the president of quiz
zing proftp-etive federal judges on ttwHr
opinions and. probable decisions in
cases affecting his policies. Theoretical
ly this is a serious charge. When un
der former regimes people suspected
that federal judges were being appoint
ed with reference to their hostUity to
such policies as the president now
represents, their protest was long and
loud. Now the people do not protest,
hut the interests which had the sub
lime faith in the courts in that other
time are now frantic over the alleged
pHokirg of the bench. And unfortun
ately, wbnt have the lawyers to show
In cvii'ence that such packing of the
bench as the president Is accused of
doii.sr i not about as necessary to the
public welfare as "packing" the senate
with the riht sort of men? Even
President Lincoln decided after somo
experience that as between two candi
dates, one witli opinions that met hi
own ldiis of public policy, and another
who dul nut he felt a good deal ensitr
to appoint to the beruh the one who
uii. with hi:n. If the law wfre.a
t hin.tr to be inet'd out with a yardstlcK
it mH'lit b uHicreiit. Hut most of our
epochal supreme court decisions come
by about as close a vote as the presi
dential election. The people have no
ticed this. Mr. Dooley onc observed
that whether the constitution follows
the flag or not, he had noticed that it
usually followed the "miction" re
AUTOMOBILE SPEED.
Tlurteeu Lincoln blocks make om
mile. A vehicle covering the distance
from street to street in one minute is
going a trifle faster than five miles
an hour, in a quarter of a minute over
twenty miles, in ten seconds between
thirty and thirty-five miles. The laws
governing the speed of automobiles In
Nebraska were passed with the sup
port of the automobile interests, and
cannot be said to be in any sense se
vere. The city is forbidden by the state
law to make any additional regulation
except as it applies to automobiles
kept fop hire. Owners are required to
register their machines with the secre
tary of state at an expense of one dol
lar, and display a number of piclfled
legibility. Tho speed limit in the most
crowded part of the city is ten miles
nn hour, more than street cars are
technically allowed. The necrelary of
state Is informed that the law govern
ing registration and numbering is not
being generally obeyed. Automobilists
recount as a common experience that
they lose all sense of speed in the ex
hilaration of rapid motion. The fre
quency with which the big machines
can be seen almost any hour of tho
day on the broad Eleventh street
pavement making their six blocks a
minute, thirty miles an hour, proves
the assertion to people who never set
foot in an automobile. Some laws are
too severe to be enforced. The automo
bile law seems to be too lax to be
worth enforcing.
STANDARD OIIS DEFEAT.
Standard Oil impregnability cannot
survive an indefinite number of earth
quakes like that in Chicago. Six
weeks ago the company was brought
to trial for something like two thous
and violations of the anti-rebate laws.
The trial was not a delvlog for proofs.
Those were matters of record and un
disputed; It was instead six weeks of
horseplay by the Standard Oil attor
neys with no Apparent end but to Htave
off the evil day for a time. First the
law was attacked because ofa flimsy
technicality connected with the now
interstate commerce law. Judge Lan
dia promptly squelched that motion.
Then 'the Standard attorneys proposed
to force the government to identify the
signatures on every bill of lading of
fered In evidence, some thousands of
them. Tho defense was set up of ig
norance of the regular rate. How
then, they argued, could they know
they were getting rebates? Judge Lan
dis instructed the jury that It was the
company's business to know the legal
rate. The jury voted guilty on the first
ballot. The minimum line is $1,463,000,
about three per cent of a year's net
earnings. The maximum is 529.260,000.
If this amount were levied, and the de
cision escapes all the deadfalls between
the court at Chicago and the court at
Washington, the line proof profits of
the Standard Oil company for this year
would be only a measly fifteen per
cent on the capital invested.
DISAGREEMENT.
The return of the jurymen with the
announcement that they could not
agree, standing seven to Ave for a
verdict of murder In the first degree,
is a dash of salt water in the face of
the sentimentalists who wanted to see
Harry Thaw acquitted. Whether he
is eventually convicted, released or
sent to the madhouse, this failure to
acquit offhand will have a salutary
effect. It shows that it is not so easy
for a murderer to go scot free, even
if he has unlimited financial resources,
the most skilled legal defenders and Is
able to make a powerful appeal to the
"unwritten law" In a way to cause the
wells of sentiment to overflow.
Life Is held too cheaply in this
country. Homicide Is our national
crime. Acquittal in this case would
have encouraged scores of murders of
tho same kind in the next year. When
the presiding judge held the jurors to
a rigid adherence to the law, telling
them that they must And the man
guilty of one of three grades of mur
der' or acquit him on the ground of
insanity, he brushed away at one
breath a cloud of rose colored vapor
that had been hung about Thaw's de
fense. A verdict of guilty of murder would
have been better, but inconclusive as
it Is the failure to acquit adds to the
value of life and to the respect for
law In the United States.
TAFT'S JOVRNEYINGS.
Secretary Taft has left Cuba with Its
hostile factions and divergent interests
habiad Um. JTluuisb. ha i Ui nnf prnmlflB
the radicals an immediate election 0
the timid capitalists a prolonged Amer
ican occupation,, he seems to have sat
isfied everybody that everybody was to
be dealt with fairly, and no sore spots
are left behind. He is now in Porto
Rico, where conditions are not serious,
jnst a little fidgeting among the lead
ers because they cannot yet have' their
own way in all things; a trifle of re
sentment because congress declined to
quiet their title to be citizens either of
the - United States or of Porto Rico.
Secretary Taft will not apologize, for
the shortcomings of congress, but the
Porto Ricans know that he is fighting
all the time for justice for the scatter
ing Americas whose people have no
representation In congress and are
therefore likely to be forgotten by that
body. Here Is a sight the people of
the United States may wait long to see
again hence they would better take
notice now; a candidate for president
of the United States turning his back
on the American king with a vote, de
voting himself Instead to carrying the
square deal to unrestful wards in the
West Indies and the unfranchised
datto of the Philippines.
