ture age heretofore mippoeed to be ofsound mind

Recently a man convicted of a brutalmurder once and from the elec-tric only a trial was

his release on ball by crowdsof thousands In which women far out-numbered men made up almost entirelyof strangers to the accused man Theyescorted him to his home cheering asthey might the deliverer of their countryIt is the history of criminal cases thatsome women show an hysterical Inter-est In the accused side with him againstthe law and Its officers and make him atremendous

LOMBKOSO Italian whose popularreputation as a criminologist exceedsthat of any other in tho field says thatall the women are living in tho middleages and that the Italian murderer isa figure of the middle ages Certainly-the committed murder In this

not figures from any previousago of the worlds history and the Italianexports explanation does not explain thefeminine Interest in their case Of coursethe demand for brawny men in Italy canbe explained on the ground that mostof the muscular citizens of that countryhave come to America and are digging-In the tunnel in New York and MCBOLINOhimself threatens to take his personover here as soon aa his feminine ad-

mirers have brought his releaseProbably he could but if hesettles real work he will lose the

his present friendsAnyway It is very Interesting to

watch tho women who grow hysterical-over the popular murderer and it hasnever led to any great harm except In thecase of the Pennsylvania jailers wifewho deserted her home and children torun away with the Interesting criminals-to whom she provided the means ofescape Maybe she was living furtherback In the middle ages than most of thewomen for she let her interest in herhusbands prisoners take practical andserviceable form

It is to be doubted whether the menwho become feminine heroes throughthe commission of crime take a reallydeep and personal interest in their ad-

mirers It may please them to knowthat they are making a great stir amongthe but that take any per

in JANE is notto be believed

Murderers have a pretty tough timeThey say themselves that their handsalways seem to them to be reddenedand that the ghosts of their victims pur-

sue them Man is hard on them Helocks them up when caught gives themlittle sympathy and does his best tohave them put out of the way as expeditionsly as is possible So the femi-nine interest and affection that theyarouse may be their compensation forthe real they are obligedto

Stay or Scuttle the Main QuestionThe Senate will be engaged all this

week and perhaps for many weeks tocome over tho question of expansion-as represented by tho Lodge bill fortIm temporary civil government of thePhilippine

The broad question of Stay or Scuttlewill bo at the front in the House again-as soon ns the Statehood bill is disposed-of Tho State Department has recom-mended nn amendment to tho prwentlaws which shall permit the grantingof passports to any owingallegiance vhethcr a or not tothe United States Section 4078 of theRevised Statutes provides that pass-ports shall be issued to citizens onlyUnder this restriction tho State Depart-ment is unable to extend the protectionof tho Federal Government to inhabi-tants of our insular possessions apply-ing for the same with a view to travelling abroad Only in a single case aswo understand has such a passport-or certificate boon issued and that wasindirectly through the Ambassador atLondon

These applicants for passports and forthe consequent protection of the Fed-eral Government live under the flagowe allegiance to the United States andrecognize its sovereignty Theyallegiance to no other sovereignthe santo time they have not been de

be citizens of tho United Statesin the Passport law is Impera-

tively required in order that they mayenjoy one of necessary privileges ofthe allegiance they profess

Yet when this perfectly plain propo-sition was miunimouHly reported tothe House the other day by tho Com-

mittee on Foreign Affairs Democrats-and Republicans alike recommending itas an administrative necessity half adozen other Democrats were on theirfeet in an instant demanding why thephrase whether citizens or not had

Constitutional Belfextension those whohold that as long iw American sover-eignty covers Porto Rico and the Philip-pines tho Porto Riians and Filipinos areby that very fact citizens of the UnitedStates seem to apprehend that this pro-posed legislation will prejudge tho easeagainst them The lion CHAMP CLARKa Democratic member of the Committee-on Foreign in vain declared thatin his of the bill didtint imply that people may owe allo-gianco to the Government of the UnitedStates without being citizens thereof ifhe thought it did ho said he would neverrecommend its passage or vote for ItThis was his explanation

satisfied with Mr CLARKS logic Theydeclared that they would never vote forsuch legislation We can understandtheir The Porto III cans ariaFilipinos either are or are not citizens ofthe United States If they are citizenspassports can be Issued to them underthe law as it precisely as to citizens of New Ohio or California-No amendment is required to meet theircase If they are not citizens accord-Ing to the Democratic theory they arenot entitled to passport privilegesThey havo no business to be under theflag The Hon CHAMP CLAnK only ex-

pressed the sentiment of a great part ofhis party when he said boldly I wouldgladly get rid of them by noxt Fourth ofJuly if it wore possible

The main question therefore of Stayor Kcuttlo la wrapped up in tho Passportbill which becomes a special orderwhen the Statehood bill Is out of tho wayThe brief preliminary discussion of thisproposed legislation disclosed the funda-mental character of the principle in-

volved It is a vastly more important-and respectable issuo than tho watercure business or the incidental questions-of military methods which some of theDemocratic leaders are attempting touse disingenuously for campaign pur-poses

If the Democratic antiexpansionistwill make their fight on the main issueemploying the Passport bill for thatpurpose they will no doubt bo metsquarely and candidly by those who be-

lieve with President ROOSBVEIT that theRepublic which has put up its flag inthose islands that flag shallstay there

publican in Tennessee in 1886 when eachplayed on a violin to admiring audiencesand the better player was defeated

South and Southwest has been on thedecline It need surprise no onoDemocratic Candidate GRBENOT ofPaducah deestrick of Kentucky whohas been prosecuting a strenuous can-vass for nomination in that Democraticstronghold speaking on the issues of theday and others while his daughterplayed tho violin has withdrawn TheDemocratic of the cornfedMcCrocken mills andLodi turnpike enjoyed tho music ap-

plauded tho musician and commendedher skill but tho time between soloswhen the candidate spoke watt foundexceedingly dull It appears to havebeen recognized by the candidate that

Musically the campaign was a successPolitically there was nothing doing

So the candidate withdrew but notuntil some of his envious adversaries-or jealous partisans had declared thatthe disparity between the violinplaying-and the speechmaking was the mostobvious feature of tho entertainmentThus is a cherished usage of tho Southwest passing If not already passed Thecandidatewiththeflddlo is no longer apopular political personage

But as this form of campaigning dis-

appears another more progressive-more in harmony with existing condi-

The Vehicle Drake TestThe result of tho brake test con

ducted last week by the AutomobileClub of America on Riverside Driveis peculiarly interesting at this timeThe test was undertaken primarily forthe purpose of demonstrating to theLaw Committee of the Hoard of Aldermen that automobiles travelling at thorate of ten miles per hour would in nowise endanger other vehicles on thohighways nnd that consequently theproposed ordinance now before thatcommittee permitting a tenmllo limitin this city should be passed

Included in the programme werethree classes of vehicles namely auto-mobiles bicycles and vehicles drawn byhorses The most complete tests how-

ever were made with automobiles ofwhich there were fifteen ranging Inweight from SOO to 2MK pounds nnd representing the product of both foreignand domestic manufacturers Of coursetho quickness with which an automobilecan depends largely upon thoexpertness of its operator timid it shouldl o said that in the test in questionall of tho operator wero thoroughlycompetent

Tho result of the exhibition was sat-isfactory to the nulomobillHtA who forsome time past have maintained thatinasmuch as an automobile If necessary

tends its use thnn is tho case with thohorsodrawn vehicles An automobileweighing SOO pounds nod going nt therate of 87 miles per hour or slightlyfaster than is allowed by the presentlaw was HtopHxl 8 feet and 0 incitesfrom the point passed by the machinewhen the nignnl to stop woo given A

There exists a popular notion that ofall tho automobiles in use the largestand heaviest are tlm tno t to lx fearedbecause of tho supposed difficulty ofstopping tlipiti The Impres-sion is doubtless duo to tho fact that ina majority of the automobile accidents Intho vicinity of Now York the vehiclesinvolved have of the ponderoustypo weighting to 3000 poundsHut whatever may bo Its basis this notionmust now bo abandoned It was shownby tho test that automobiles weighing2000 pounds zuni over ran bo stoppedmore readily thoi o that urnlighter To illustrate A 100pound

One weIghing 1400 andgoing at tho same rate required 45

tomobile should bo permitted by lawto travel faster titan a horsedrawnvehicle were to be determined solely bythe ability of the drivers respectively-to bring their vehicles to a stop in theshortest time possible there can be-little doubt that tho automobile wouldwin The test proved however ngood horseman is able to haltwith remarkable quickness and thateven four horses pulling together maybe stopped within an exceedingly shortspace For example four at-tached to a drag and driven rateof nine miles per hour were stoppedwithin a distance of 26 feet

A comparison of the figures recordedin the New York test with rep-resenting the result of a teatconducted recently by the Automobile

of Great Britain and Ireland seemseither that the

on this side of the ocean are inferior asbrakemen to the foreigners or that thebrakes In use there are more power-ful than those In this country Per

however the seeming superiorityforeign chauffeurs may be ex-

plained by the fact that suohtests in England areand are undertaken only after carefulpreparation by those who are to engagein them the ono in New York wascomparatively affair con-ceived and carried out expressly forthe purpose of enlightening our munici-pal authorities and not with tho ideaof breaking records
