Colonial Policies.
England learned a great many things
from the loss of her American colonies,
but nothing more important than that
colonies left to govern themselves, and
interfered with only in the way Of sup-
port and protection, are a source Of
strength to a nation, while colonies
treated only as a source'of revenue are
a burden and a weakness.
In Canada, in Australia, in South
Africa, the English have established
healthy
probably be lost to the home govern-
ment if any modern Ministry could be
guilty of the blundering policy adopted
commonwealths that would
toward the American colonies in the
last century, but that keep to their al-
legiance now because it is mainly sen-
timental and imposes no burdens. And
England profits greatly from them.
India, on the other hand, the Eng-
lish have still regarded very much as
it was regarded by the commercial ad-
venturers who first took possession of
it, as a source of wealth to be drained,
rather than as a field to be cultivated.
Now, when the country does not even
produce enough to feed its own popula-
tion, while the enormous cost Of hold-
ing and administering it still increases,
India is a weight on England’s hands.
But the great example Of a false cc-
She lost
her colonies in South America because
she never did anything for them but to
rob them, and while she has held Cuba,
she has treated it only as a source of
lonial policy is that of Spain.
revenue. And now Cuba is impover-
the-cost of maintaining Spanish rule,
not‘aiford to hold it.
The inability or unwillingness of
Spain to learn the ObviousA,..lessons of
history, we can easily trace the decline
of her power and glory. England, on.
the other hand, has prospered by adapt-
ing her colonial policy to modern de-
velopments.
lowed the Spanish plan of mere military
occupation, she still has trouble ahead.

Singing to Liberty.
That Judges can be influenced by
sentimental considerations is a well es-
tablished fact. A Judge is supposed to
administer impartial law, not'justice,
which implies impartiality, but the
Sentiment is not
‘
v7
“ law as? she is writ.”
presumed to cut an y figure in dispensing
While. lain may not always be
justice, there it stinds, and the man
who Oc'cupies a position in which he
becomes a dispenser of law, usually
deals out thearticle with an apology to
the effect thatAit is so and so, and he is
bound to decide accordingly.
From out of the crowd of hidebound,
cold-blooded law disbursers, Justice
Ingram, OI" the Long Island city police
court, emerges as a sentimentalist and.
a man. An unfortunate, by name Ber.
nard Paney, was brought before him
charged with selling goods without a
license. The policeman who fell afoul
of Paney, stated that he caught him
selling, or trying to sell, one of his
The. Justice asked him his occupation,
and when Paney said: “ I am an opera
singer,” was surprised. The man was
tall and gray, and far from prosperous
looking. Further questioning elicit-
ed the fact that he had sung in 4 opera
companies, and could still sing. “What
can you sing ‘3” “ The baby Song from
‘VVang‘,’ or the widow Song.” é‘Sing
the baby song,” said the Justice, [and
.with a few preliminary thrOat clearings
and the humming of a note or two, to
get the pitch, Paney, in a 'clear tenor,
sang: _
“ Bab. , baby! She’s my darling baby!
Up she goes, down she‘goes. just like a little
lady.” - .
The spectators clapped hands, and
the Judge called for the Widow song,
which Paney gave with appropriate
gestures, and laying his hand on his
heart, bowed to «the Justice. “Mr.
Paney,” said, the Justice, “I thank ..
you for your songs. You have sung
yourself to liberty.” Paney said the
reason for his peddling was that he was
softening nfluence of :musicl Paney
had violated a Long Island city ordi-
nance. There was no doubt of it,'but
as he said, he was getting gray and he
must. live. Instead of punishing the
old man for trying to sell his note
books, the Justice listened to his sing-
ing and gave him liberty. In the dull
routine of police court life this little
operatic flight stands out says the \Vash-
ington Post, like a green oasis in the
desert of judicial monotony, and the ac-
tion of the Justice in divesting himself
of the stern surroundings of the magis-
trate and putting on the habiliments of
a man, gives promise of future possi-
bilities. '
The strict interpretation of the letter
of the law sometimes yields to plain
ture triumph over statutes and Ordinan-
ces. There are few who will not rejoice
over the escape. of the poor Old opera
singer and indorse the course of the
Justice in giving him his freedom.
Here’s hope that many Such Justices
may appear and infuse mercy into their
interpretations of the law. Misfortune
is not always criminal and does not in-
