Caiuidians iiilile themselves, not witliiHit reason. u|ion the promptnes.H witii wliicU Juslico is meted out In nriniinal cases. Nevertheless, it would he hard lor our courts to bet- ter the record to which a recent ;otter to the London Times draws at- ;ention. Probably the speed in this particular case, may bo exceptional, but, oven so. It is an object lesson Df Its kind. TUe object of the correspondent In writ 'ig to the Times was to commend the London police and courts Oor their iiromptness In disposing of a rase of burglary in which he was Interested. And he might well do so in the light of his testimony, which (vas as follows: "The goods were stolen on Salur- iay inoruing. The burglar was caught and the goods recovered on Satur- day afternoon. On Monday the bur- glar was comniitli'.d by a magistrate to stand his trial at the Old Halley. On Tuesday he was duly tried, coo- ricted and sentenced." With police and courts capable of working so fast as this, it is no won- der that Kiiglund does not have much trouble with "crime waves," such as law-abiding citizens suffer from In the United States.â€" Quebec Chronicle Telgraph.

A few years ago the stock phrase was that there was trouble In the Ualkans, and these countries were regarded as the dan- ger spot of Kurope. Today the Bal- kan .States, Including even Turkey, have agreed upon conventions that will maintain peaceful relations be- tween them, while the major powers, who uned to regard the Balkani as the home of flre-brands, are flndlng It dlOlcult to arrlvw at any under- itunding that will assure pKice. â€" Fort William Times-Journal.

This Kmpire ot free peoples is not yet a hundred years old.

Tiheir agents are everywhere tricked out in fair dis- guise, masked as paclllsts. cosmopoli- tans and the like.
