H. Allen, of Kinston, very Mhouhtfuily discusked crime and its Jlffffd increase in North Carolina. 3Tbe contribution shows keen observs- Jod and a deep study of tlif subject SreeAed. Judjfe Allen contends, in which he is supported by the teachings of ex perience, that not the severity of ptin ishnient, but the certainty of piiriis.ii sent in the true deterrent. Acid the 'moat progressive cornmurnt.'et of the eiviii.d world are putting this theory Into practice. If we can (ret people to believe that detection and punifchiwent without reference to its severity will nurely fpHow crime as its logical effect, there Hill not be needed ho much leg-islatio;) to make people "le (rood," nor ho many agencies for the diientation of justice between man and man. People will govern themselves; and self gov ernment Is the ideal form of jrovern ment. Self government wherein man becomes master of himkelf because of - his knowledge that certain acts n his part will be followed by certain con sequences is a force that munt be re-; sorted to in tbe solution of the ques tion of crime. i There are many reformations to he attained before crime will be reduced ' to minimum. Speaking of obstacles In the wkv, Judge Allen says: Until man ceases to be a cruel be bng; until wan are less prevalent; un til the press ceases to parade thedetails of every horrible crime before the pub- xic eye, ana, in fact, until tnere is Oar AmbMNln KlahlaeST Affair. Robert's. McCormick, United. States ambassador to Russia, who came home recently to attend his son's wedding, la not in harmony wJlh the demonstra tion that are being made in this conn try In opposition to Russia because of the recent terrible affair at Klshineff. Telia Haw tm B, "Toot work baa a lot to do with tbe success of a ball player and especially at the bat, and the pitcher la more apt to find this weakness to bis liking than any other," says Huns Wagner, s; "1 am ready to step in any direction, with my right foot for a pivot I bat I mostly with a wrist movement, at yon can get a quicker move and allow tbe' ball to come doner before timing U 1 never care to anticipate the kind of a KOI1KKT k.

Mr. McCormick says that the sti rles cliHrKtnt: complicity of the Kus sliin goveriiuicnl in the outrages com mitted ure aliKiml. In u rernt inter view with i New York newspaperman Mr. McCormick said: "Tluit the authorities at flt. Peters bnrg bad any previous know ledge of the matter iw preposterous. The whole afTalr oeciirreil Just as lynch ings and other (iiithrcnks occur In the Pnited Statea too tiickly for the authorities to take any steps to prevent them." eye, and, in more of tbe spirit of C hristianity in faaed Into tbe mould of modern civili--ution crime of one kind or another will continue to increase except as the facilities for checking it are increased. -''Orualt will be curbed in our nature 'only aa tbe ameliorating spirit of Christianity spreads and vitalizes our people. ' ' Then there is this important fact, that the press can and frequently does, spread the contagion of crime. Crime J a disease and is capable of being spread abroad just so surely as the mumps, typhoid fever, or that "tired feeling" in the spring can be trans aaitted. There may be a get-at-able Tsadl us by which the transmission is aaade. But even though the scientist Lhaa sot found it yet by means of aiacroeoopio examination the psychol ogist has found that an intangible perm does exist whereby the disease aoay be spread. He has found that "this germ consists in the spiritual Ipower which the idea exerts over action. Our actions are largely idea-motor, i. ., an idea having taken possession of the mind finds itself realized in an appropriate action unless inhibited by another and more powerful idea. .And here is where the press has the power to get in deadly work as well fkt the power to do infinite good. Crinle can be pictured vividly. Illustrations can give the minutest details The transmission of news is so nearly per fect that the world can be brought to the spot of the commission of crime in 'short time. These things are suffi cient to work upon and assume the mastery over impressionable minds and there are many such. The natural consequence is that the idea thus im planted realizes itself in another crime of some kind. We must look to something else than to the remissness of the courts and the -inefficiency of the machinery of justice. .True there may be, and probably is, remissness and iuetBciency, but this is the exception and not the rule. Judges at a rule are honest and con scientious, and jurymen are no weaker than are other men. There will always appear mitigating circumstances, and these circumstances must be consid ered In every scheme of real justice.

Baron ShlhtiHawa of Japan, now vis iting this country, landed In 8au Fran cisco. He was taken to the Chamber of Commerce and talked with the pres "I found," said the baron, "that he was a man of practical views. 'How can we make money? seemed to be predominant in all his conversation. I am neither a poet nor a meditative thinker, but even to me tbe entire bearing of the gentleman appeared to lack what we would call in our lan guage 'kiln, or highly reserved man ere.'" When tbe baron got to Washington be found that the president had too much "kiln, or highly reserved man oers." The president praised Japanese valor. "These words were very grati fying," said tbe baron, "but I felt some what disconcerted because of the fact that be did not make any reference to our commerce." The baron hinted at much. The president explained that be did not praise Japan's commerce because It It ttill In Ita "infant stage."

"A ball wide of the plate can be chopped off to right field, while one a bit closer can be turned to account by a proper swing.. This can be accom plished by taking tbe bat up short, as it requires less swing and can be work ed with a snap, which will have just as good effect when It meets tbe ball and the batter is less likely to tend Op weak flies." Deella ( tfcav EaMjr.. Why do we no longer find la these magazines the long esaaya that .were the backbone of tbe old style- period icals? Is it because there are nowa days no men y ho like to and are able to take their pens In hand and ramble on and on aimlessly over bill and dale, with many a leisurely pause and occa sional airy flights? It it because tbe editors 'ran find no writer wbo are surcharged with viewa on all aorta of abstract subjects and could be. moved to Impart .those views at length to the readers of magazines? Certainly not. Almost every man wbo writes at ail would like to write esaaya long e aays. But the wise editors won't bave them any more, because tbe people won't read them and won't even take magazines that get the reputation of bartering them.

Algernon Cbarlea Swinburne, ac cording to one of hit American friends. made a systematic study of babies be fore he wrote his ronndelt upon baby hood, sayt the Kansas City Journal. Mr. Swinburne, who it a bachelor, one day went on tiptoe into the nursery of a friend's bouse and bent in reverie over the infant that slept there. As be regarded It tbe slumbering Infant smiled, and in contemplation of this seraphic smile the poet's heart was filled with joy and awe. "It's the wind, bless its heart,' the nurse whispered. "Whenever they smile in their sleep, sir, you may know they're troubled with the wind." Mr. Swinburne scowled and with drew. On account of the nurse's re mark he never wrote a poem on the subject of a baby's dreams.

Edmond Rostand on June 4. The ceremonies were M. KDMOKO SOSTAXBw , .. among the most interesting events of the kind recorded in the history of tbe academy. M. Roataud delivered bis address in exquisite prose, full of col or, reverting in turn from charming and refined familiarity to flights of po etic fancy, passing from tbe most dis creet or moat pointed Irony to the high est eloquence. Aside from his eleva tion to a place among the Immortals, M. Rostand has reached tbe bigb plane in the field of literature early ia life that most of the successful have achieved only.after passing beyond the years of middle life. M. F.ostand is cn!y ttirry-five yetrs of sge. Harl and Hla Colta. Colonel Hart president of tbe Chica go National league club, is now at peace with all tbe world and on speak ing terms with himself. After years crowded with disappoint ments and defeats Colonel Hart's lock has finally changed for tbe better. To day he can gloat over tbe knowledge that bis Chicago aggregation Is at pres ent one of the fastest and strongest ball teams In the National league. And this rather broad assertion is made de spite the writer's opinion that Mew York, Pittsburg and Cincinnati possess great ball teams this year.
