rs THE .JTDICIIRY CORRUPT

Is the United States Circuit Court partisan
and corrupt? Is it menace to free nstitu-
tons? Is there danger in intrusting to it the
selection of two supervisors of elections with
the limited functions of attending at registra-
ton booths and elections to inspect and scIuti-
nize the registry lists in order to detect and
expose unlawful registration? Is free govern
ment in peril because the Judges of the United
States Circuit Court are empowered to appoint
two persons Of opposite politics to supervise
the voting lists and see that no Illegal voter
is registered or stand at the polls and see that
elections are honestly conducted?
That seems to be the view of "The Rich
mond Dispatch" which says: 10 is almost
as necessary now to repeal the existing laws

Senator VOORHEES, is not one Of the leaders

Senate 4 step nearer to voting on repeal was
more conspicuous and humiliating than any OF
his nrovions unsuccessful attempts in that d.

process" by proonging the session, but his sup
rorters were not on hand and the opponents OF
repeal had everything their own way so much

carly a close of the session. The logic OF the
Indiana Senator's procedure in that matter was
not more remarkable than his abiect failure to
cary his point in behalf of repeal.

their Administration from defeat by its own

race for state senator while convict in

speeches on our streets. Mr.. Reynolds

stripes, he was vindicated. He is now

standing on the streets and lecturing

his lectures free, and in this way reaches

A Chance in Life.

Who amongst us can say he never

slider well; you will find that many
a golden chance has fitted past whilst
you were gathering dead sea fruit along
the pathways of folly. A diamond
seeker does not look at the clouds; so
humble plodders after success must not
raise their heads too high, but begin at
the bottom of the ladder of fame and
make sure of each step that they mount.

l can do the best wherever l am placed

up too high l may lose my grip and
tumble in heap to the bottom. We
must have God on our side if we want
to be proof against the DEVILS snares.
We in here ought TO know that playing
lone hand don't pay. We fall into
some petty pitfall at every turn if we
think we can walk alone. By walking
aright-we may lay up golden grain, even
if but a little, for golden old age. Let
us stick to regular hours, steady com
panions and decent pleasures; let us
avoid the seductive saloon and the low
dive, everywhere open in cities to en-
snare the unthinking and needless youth
and lead them to destruction. We have,
even the worst among us, some cOncep-
ton of truth, honor and honesty; let us
then follow the inclination of our bet
ter nature. Let us not turn deaf ear
