COLD LAW.

The APPEAL has received a letter
from a friend in Empire inquiring
why the paper don't show up the
Supreme Court for it's decision in the
Jones case, and several parties have
called at this Office to express their
feelings on the same subject. For the
benefit of everybody we will State that
the decision written by Mr.. Massey
and concurred 10 by his associates is
a very able opinion aud correct in
every principle of law. The issue is
clearly laid down and the conclusion
reached is susceptible Of no other TO-
depreciation.
The APPEAL believes it knows cold
law when it sees it and this decision
is cold law, although until its editor
read Judge Massey opinion, it held
contrary views.
The case will now 60 to the United
States Court where it properly belongs
and the proper authorities will push
it to its conclusion. Mr.. Jones the
defendant would have done be ter by
himself or certainly as we'll had he
submitted his defense to the State
Courts.
The only interest the APPEAL has in
the matter is to show by sworn testi-
mony exactly what the character of
the assault was. ACQUISITION of vera
city having beer raised between the
APPEAL and the defendant in the case,
we feel it incumbent on US to demon
strate to the public who is telling the
truth. What the subsequent results
are to anyone, is a matter Of very
small concern to ue.

OVER MORAL

Missouri is rapidly coming to the
front as a social State for morality.
Her Legislature seems to be composed
Of men who are determined to make
that commonwealth the champion of
all that is pure and holy.
1t has passed laws forbidding base
ball on Sundays and making it a mis-
demeanor to engage in the game of
football at any time.
On Thursday, a bill was introduced
in the Assembly at Jefferson City,
which, if it becomes a law, will put the
balance Of population in the State
Prison, 1t provides that a married
man who is convicted Of intidelity to-
wards his wife, shall upon the bare
proof of the same, be punished by a
term of five years in the ~penitentiary.
Another bill introduced in this model
Legislature, by Assemblyman Rood,
makes flirting with female passengers
on trains by conductors and brakemen
a misdemeanor, and the railroad cor
porations will have to pay a fine OF
S25 for each conviction.
If these two bills pass the Leglsla-
ture, Governor Stone signs them ano
they become laws. there will be fewer
marriages in Missouri for the next
decade, many benedicts in the State
