AMONG WHOM YE SHINE AS LIGHTS.

Holiness is self-demonstrative. He
whose heart is pure surrounds him
self with a spiritual atmosphere, and
adorns his life with a constant sue
cession of godly and benevolent ac-
lions. AS a man travelling to dis
tant country thinks, reads and talks
OF the land he longs to see, so the
holy man thinks, reads and speaks OF
the city OF God, whittier he is journey
iEg; hoping to receive an inheritance
in that dwelling place Of sinless
souls, "he purifeth himself as he IS
pure" The strongest desire of his
soul Is expressed in these lines Of St.
Ambrose:
Meet for thy realm In heaven,
Make me, holy King
That through the ages It be given
To me thy praise to eing.

WHY NOT REFORM THE sU-
PREMH COURTq

"When congress incorporated the in
come tax law IN the tariff bill that 1t
might escape the otherwise inevitable
presidential veto, they probably did
not reckon on that other veto power,
the Supreme court The decision Of
the court is Of little consequence ex-
cept as an additional illustration Of
how little democracy there really is
in our boosted republican govern
ment. II the people cannot enact
such laws as they choose to live
under, through their representatives,
where is the democracy True the
presidential veto can be over-ridden
by a two thirds vote, but the Supreme
court veto constitutes an insurmount-
able barrier to the will Of the people.
It's decisions are Irrevocable and there
is no appeal. The people cannot even
fill the places Of it's members with
men who will do their bidding. The
ninth man, the man who decided the
fate of the income tax, Is in the posi-
ton of Supreme ruler of 100000.
This body OF nine men constituting
the Supreme court.has the power to
nullify every law on the statute book
and any law which may be enacted IN
the future. Can any ore believe thet

Such sentiments as above quoted,
if coming from peoples party man

not feel like condemning them. On

much OF the respect for courts which
they formerly had, and the cause lies
tUith the courts. There was a time
when there was a majesty about the

ABOUT PARDONS.
from the Pottsville Miners Journal

From the Pottsville Miners Journal.
The board of pardons is,- under the
present constitution of our common
wealth. the real dispenser of cemency to-
ward criminals as its recommendation
counts every time, the executive officer,
or governor never refusing to act in af-
hrmative conjunction with the boards
action. AS at present constituted under
the supreme law the board consists of the
lieutenant governor secretary of the COM
HohWealth, attorney general and secre-
tary or internal affairs and mo pardon
shall be granted or sentence committed,
except upon the recommendation I'm writ
Ing TO those officials. or "any three of
them.' The present board has made a
record as the most clemently inclined of
all the six which have existed under the
constitution in twenty-One years. 1t has
turned willing. ear to the appeals of
many culprits, as voiced by counsel, and
much encouragement will, as a result of
the boards many recommendations be
given to those doing time in the various
jails of the state. and 1t may be expected
that applications will increase.
II
In anticipation thereof 1t may be well
to admonish the pardon mill that 1t is
grinding exceeding large and the great act
OF subscribing the ends of justice may he
ty of the cases heard each month shall re-
ceive affirmative action. 1t Is not pre-
tended that the present board has made
any grevious mistakes in the exercise of
its powers and prerogatives so far, but it
has only been In existence less than a
year and we venture the assertion without
the fear of successful contradiction that
in that time more cases have been rec
commended for c!emency than any one of
the preceding boards passed on favorably
in any two years of its time in office. 1t
Is not necessary to particularize. but the
justice of pardoning one, and not another,
of two or more convicted people, who are
undergoing sentences, must eventually
present itself with great force to the par
doning power. There is such thing as
being too free with favors.

selves against the psychologist craftsmen.
III the case reported from New Jersey be
authentic. II shows that the claim of the
hypnotic doctrinaires that crime Is impos-
sible in hypnotiZation does not hold. A
"sood-iooking" gypsy enters house. mes
merizes mother and daughter, carries
away such spoil as she chooses and the
law Is helpless, since the thief seem to
have been gifts. Now the theory of the
hypnotic doctrinaires Is distinctly that
the subject of the mystic manipulation is
secure against criminal attempt, because
the objective reason. that Is. the will
power to distinguish between right and
wrong. is not in the least impaired by the
semi-somnolency, or suspended develop
ment of the faculties, during the opera
tions of the purely subsection trance.
That, in other words, the mind retains
possession of the human instinct against
personal danger. That while the hypno-
tizer can compel a subject to do and say
certain things, he cannot induce the agent
to do certain other things.
II has, however, been demonstrated re-
poatedly by DR.. Charcot and his disciples
that the mesmerized victim could be made
to do foolish things; say foolish things,
and, II foolish ones, why not criminal. or
things harmful to the subjects own in
terest? Obviously, If the Brunswick
gypsy had the power to lull her victims
to the semi-unconsciousnes involved in
the hypnotic state, she could induce a
condition favorable to robbery. In any
event, If the gift of hypnotizing is as its
disciples claim. condition given to GER
tain physical organizations. it is time for
some recognized authority to set the
facts before the lawmakers, to hedge all
such instrumentalites with safeguards

raving brood of miscreant mystics in
vading the household opens vista too

SYNOPSIS,


Felicia Charlton. beautiful and spirited
girl belonging to an old but Impoverished
Virginia family, has accepted a posi- tlon
as private secretary to Mrs. CALDWELL a
wealthy society leader at NewpoIc, wlp,
though meaning no unk.ndness, has tree:-
ed her with what she felt to be humliat-
ing GOODNESS. She has. however. formed
a pleasant acquaintance with young
man pamed Duncan Moore-a guest of F'et
GcAs employer-who was at first misled
as to her position in the family Never
the, less, this friendship appears to have
developed into something stronger though
Felicia. mortified by her humble station
and somewhat resentful, has given him
little encouragement.

That evening. one of Mr.. Caldwelrs
periodical dinners for which the invi-
tations had long been sent out and ac-
cepted, was to take place. Felicia, who
was by now used to such things at Sec

butler the dinner cards and the chart Of
the seats, fingered, looking on at the
glittering table with it's burden of sill
yer and wax lights and banks of maiden
hair fern and roses. She was no longer
so much impressed with mere exter-
nails as at first. Grandeur, from her
point of view. had begun to pail on her.

Don't be afraid of that" exclaimed
the girl, lightly, and then ran off to hei

Resentful to her enforced position
Felicia glided downstairs just as the
guests were falling into line to go into
the dining-room. From the shadow
under the stairway she was intercepted
and captured by Duncan Moore.
II am actually, and without solicita-

offering her his hand. II have been
looking for you ever since Mrs. Cald-

He did not tell her the notice was ac-
companied by profuse apologies at i'm

escaping that conceited Irene Clayton

but her own successes in the social
world at Newport; and, as the dinner
progressed, he observed, with consider
able satisfaction, that many approving
glances were cast by the other men

for Consumptives," of fremont,
N. Y, says, 81 have never known
a case where the stomach has
rejected Bovinine. In cases of
collapse, so common among con-
sumptives, we always use it."
Bovinine being easy to take, and
quick of assimilation and a won-
derful food product, at once
starts on its mission of creating
strength, flesh and blood. 1t
tones up the vital organs and by
thus invigorating them, enables
them to throw off disease and
gives to the sufferer new lease
of life where such a thing is
possible.
