NO EXCUSE FOR
CRIME.

1n murder case before the District
Court of Washington q day or so since
the defense set up plea Of irrespon-
sibilitN because the prisoner had com
mited the act while drunk, but Mr.. Jus
tice Morris, presiding, promptly over
ruled the plea, saying that intoxicatlou
can not be regarded as furnishing any
excuse for the commission of crime. or
be pleaded in mitigation Of punishment.
and his decision was eminently right
and proper. Drunkenness is responsible
for many of the crimes that fill the
criminal calendar, and should he no
bar to punishment The Washington
Times, writing on this subject, SAYS:
Drunkenness fills our jails and pris-
ons. our almshouses and insane asy-
lums; drunkenness wrecks the peace
and happiness of the home and keeps
the dockets OF the divorce courts loaded
down with cases; drunkenness sunders
the most sacred ties. makes children
forget the respect they owe their pa
rents. causes parents to disregard the
obligations they owe their children. and
brings men to the utter loss OF all self
respect. It is vice, and while some
men are to be pitied for being so weak
as to yield to it, none should be pardon
ed or excused for committing crime
nfter they have put themselves under
its influence"
II is a great pity that men will get
drunk. but If they do so It should af-
ford them no excuse for wrong doing

HINTS TO rl1EATER GOERs.

The Virginian had something to say
n few days since about the wearing
of big hats at the theatres, and now
the Savannah News rises to remark
that the ladies in that town have made
concessions in the matter Of their head
gear in the theatre there. the majority
of them wearing small hats, while many
others remove their hats when they
take their seats. But there is another
annoyance of which our contemporary
complains, and 1t may be some salts
faction to know that the practice COM
planned of is not alone peculiar to the
Savannah thcatre-goer. 1t says:
THE big atheatre hat Is no worse
bore than the man who goes out be-
tween the acts. treading on toes and
mussing skirts as he forces his way In
and out of the rows OF seats. If 1t is
impossible for some men to sit through
performance without going outside
for drink, they ought to be considerable
enough TO buy seats on the ends OF
rows, where their coming and going
will not be q nuisance"
The idea Is q good one, and herea fteI
the fellows who have to go out 10 see

the end seats. There are whole lot ct
