THE QUALITY OF FRENCH JUSTICE.
Iuteresing sidelights ns io tho character and quality
of French instice alwavs are to be had whenever Paris
ets hold of a cause celebre. It was so in the Dreyfus wise
and it is more so in the ease of Mine. Steinheil, the noto
"ious "red widow" of tho charge of murdering her hus
band and his mother.
Now that she has been acquitted, the world can well
wonder how it came about. It is impossible to conceive
from an American point of view -that she had a fair trial.
Onlv her wit saved her from the guillotine.
in a French assize court the presiding judge appears
also as the chief prosecuting officer, and accusation and
epithet fall from the bench as freely as from the hps ot
her most bitter enemy.
"I am going to ask this woman a question, says the
court, "and when I do, watch her faint!"
Imagine an American judge making such a statement
before a jnry in whose hands rests the life of a defendant:
and that" is onlv one of the mildest of the expressions the
dispatches have brought us from the lips of tho French
judge who was presiding at the Steinheil trial.
If, bv anv interpretation, any remark let tall irom the
bench during the trial of a defendant, even though he be
guiltv of the most heinous of crimes, could bo construed
as having the remotest influence in bringing about an ad
verse verdict on the part of the jury, appellant courts
would without hesitation grant a row trial.
The Frenc'i method sa vol's n noli of the inquisition,
where the third degree is carried inro the courtroom and
the defendant placed upon the mci.tal rack to the last mo
ment. Indeed, French methods assert guilt until 111110
cenco is proven, whereas the American theory is the re
verse. And yet probably there is as much injustice m
America as in France.

THE WHIP HID
Former Secretary of Treasury Makes
Startling Statement Bctorc
Meeting in San
Francisco,
r
(United I'res I.onsod Wire.)
l'HIIiAnULl'HlA, Nov. U5. That
the United States was forced to hum
ble itself before Japan at the time
the anti-Japanese feeling amused by
the school difficulty in San I'rnnois
co, was the startling declaration of
former Secretary of tho Treasmy
Leslie M. Shaw, that is causing com
ment of a varied nature hero today.
Before the Neighborhood Club last
evening Shaw, in advocating tho pas
sage of a ship-subsidy bill, declared
that the United States had been piti
fully unprepared for war anil that
this country was forced to bow to
the Japanese because the government
realized its inability to prosecute a
successful military campaign in the
event of war.
"A short time ago." he said, "we
had with us in this city a doelgation
of Japanese visitors. We told them
how much we loved them and how
remote was the possibility of a war
between our people and theirs. They
took it and smiled, but at the same
time, the great men at the home of
the a.Tpanese were the full masters
of the Pacific and they are hinting
at their willingness to defend this at
titude with anus.
"I am tryiug to tell you that we
are going to war with the Jananese,
but you can't overlook one faet. Ja
pan has f00 ships of her merchant
marine on the water and fifty more
on the way. Every one is under con
tract to quit commerce ami start an
other line of marine activity at the
call of the government. There was
a deep-seated alarm in Washington
at the time of Snn Francisco's out
break against the Japanese. You
don't know how near war we were.
In order to avoid it we had to knuck
le down to every condition they de
manded. Had we been in condition
for war, and been jvissessed of a
merchant mnriue, we never would
have had swnlled that bitter pill."

Bread and water, without sufficient

The enthusiasm thnt characterized
