Is a pity that the man who, in his

practiced these noble principles
should have lost courage when he
found himself confronted with pow

which he drew these conclusions
should have supported him through
season of temporary reverse and

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION: We can
imagine nothing more depressing to
the average criminal than private
midnight execution conducted in
dead silence, with no excited crowd
of spectators to encourage him to
pose as martyr or hero. The new
Indiana fashion is infinitely better
than the old way. Public ex ,cutions
are brutalizing and they increase
crime. Private midnight executions
terrorize not only the prisoner, but
they cause the criminal masses to
view with alarm the prospect Of a
doom so swift, silent and grim-a
leap from the darkness Of this world
into the blacker gulf of the unknown.

CHICAGO HERALD: From Kansas
comes,a new noun-jointist The
sense In which 1t Is used indicates
that 1t means one who sells intoxicat-
ing liquors contrary to law, Presum-
ably there is also verb, to joint,
with active and passive voices. Thus,
in Kansas, the expression, He has a
jag, would be put more euphemistic-
ally as He joints, or, preferably, He
is jointed. So, too, the condition OF
the Kansas militia General who
broke up review at Leavenworth
last fall would be described as "the
jointedness of Brlgadier General
Smith, and upon his return to sobri-
ETY. he would be said to be disjointed.
The new word is valuable and in
teresting addition to contemporary
philology.

round yoke. This yoke IS ornamented
with parallel rows of black braid and
finished with a band of fur which also
borders the cape. The right side is
fastened to the left shoulder and
slightly lifted. The coat itself is fitted
and first buttons in front and then the
right side laps over, with the bottom
slightly biased.

CHIEF JUSTICE JEUNE Of England
has ruled that a minister of the gos-
pei has no right to plead as privi-
legged communication in court the
substance of a confidential communi-
cation made to him as minister by
one of his parishioners., The court,
he says, not the individual, must
Judge when the ends of justice re-
Quire such secrets to be made public.
The position is eminently sound.
Conditions have changed since the
times when men had the right Of
sanctuary in the temples, and when
the interposition of the priest often
was all that shielded an unfortunate
from assault by lawless men. In all
civilized communities the law Of the
land is now supreme, and those chosen
to administer it are constituted the
sole judges of what shall be used as
evidence. To allow minister Of the
gospel to Judge for himself in such
matters is to acknowledge that by
virtue of his Office he has coordinate
authority and power with the courts
as by law established, conceding to
him privileges which are not recog-
nized by the law, and may prove
fatal to its due administration.

THE fact that the French soldiers

Bear Lakes Eccentrlcitv.

An old man at Bear Lake has had a

ters left him because they couldn't
stand his company. But the old man
longed for female society and answered
all the advertisements he could. Many
applicants came, but none stayed long.

employer has a plea ant habit of shrek

of the mex illustration. This Is OF
equally thin cloth. and is made of gray
cloth with a square yoke and standing
collar of brown velvet. 1t is shorter
in back than in front, and Is lined with
white sicilienne and bordered with

faced with brown velvet and extend
across the back, forming finish Tor

designers of women apparel, encour-
agement to feminine extravaganza.
But let such critic cons der for mo-
ment the vast variety of cape shapes
which prevailed last winter, and bear
in mind that new ones were ositively
demanded for this spring, AMI excuse
will appear for such creations as that
just described. After all, women needn't

designers will very soon learn the OBJ

FORSYTH republicans should remem.
ber that the apportionment of delegates
in the county convention two years from
now will be based upon the support the
ticket receives at this election; and be,
fore they vote they should ask them
selves if it will pay them to lose their
proper representation in the party for
nke OF paying off personal grudge. 1t
int good politics. and every republican
in Forsyth should see the truth Of this
statement. This is only one reason, and a
very selfish one why Forsyth republicans
should vote the ticket. Party loyalty
stands high above this and should com
mand the best services of every republi-
can. 1t is the esprit de corps that wins
battles where even organization and dis
cipline might fail. In this republican
year when the whole country is attest
ing its loyalty and devotion to the prin-
ciples of the party of progress and prosper
ity, no single precinct in Custer County
should fail to poll its full party vote for

and the booming of anvils announced

was blocked with people all headed for
the hall which in a very short time was
filled to its capacity with an audience
representing every walk and condition OF

ten we wish to say that no small share
of the evenings entertainment was con-
tributed 10y this aggregation OF skilled
musicians. the selections given being new
and exquistely rendered. The stage
was occupied by about a dozen gentle
men representing the principal indus
tries OF the country. and enthusiastic for

arrived, Mr. Ed Butler, jr., acting as
chairman. came forward and with few
well chosen words stated the purpose OF
the meeting. concluding by introducing
Prof. c. NJ. Charles. who spoke for
about thirty minutes in an exceedingly
interesting vein, in which he traced the
downfall Of all the fallen nations that
now live only in history, to the introduc,
tion Of bribery and corruption INTO pub.

lesson of warning to the people of this
great state in this capital campaign. lie
was followed by Mr.. l.. A. Huffman who

the people against the eNtravagances
that would creep in with the removal Of

earnestly for more than half an hour
making many good points and avoiding
