Hypnotism has come in collision with
tn. courts Of California, where q Judge
r fused to allow a hypnotist to testify
thai he had put an alleged murderer
under his influence. n that while In
that condition the prisoner had denied
that be had committed the crime. The
court took this stand because 1t said
that the law did not recognise hypno-
tism. Because Of this denial an appeal
was taken and the supreme court has
just upheld the position Of the trial
Judge. although one member said he
did not quite agree with his fellows in
their attitude on hypnotism. Aside
from this position as regards h SCI
enc Ii Is hard to see how the testi-
mony Of the hypnotist could affect the
case. As the lay understand II, a hyp-
motto subject can be made to say or
do any thing the hypnotist commands
him. That being the case. a confession
or denial could be drawn out al the
will Of the hypnotist. At any rate the
court was quite right in refusing to al
low the latter to testify.

DR.. T. B.. Kingsbury, editor of The
Wilmington Messenger, has been do
ing editorial work for thirty-One years.
This is a long time for continuous work
of that kind, and during those many
years, DR.. Kingsbury has written a
vast deal for the elevation of his num-
erous readers and for the welfare of
the state. He has been, and is, a power
for good in the grand old common
wealth of North Carolina. His influence
and talents have always been exerted
for the right, and have accomplished
much good for the state. We trust that
he has many long years Of useful work
before him-WOrk in which though Of

While DR.. Kilgo was not specific IN
his remarks, yet there cropped out the
fact that his aim was to uphold the de-
nominational college and to artfully at
tack the state university and state
schools. His argument that college
and university life tended to destroy
the former religious training Of the
student is in large measur true and is
to be much deplored. But this is no
reason why universities, colleges and
high schools should be abandoned.
The thing to do is to maintain them
at any cost, but at the same time in
sist and compel them to return their
graduates to the homes in the some
moral and religious conditions at least
with which they entered the college or
university. The usefulness Of the uni
versity and state schools must not be
destroyed because of this negligence or
weakness, whether it be real or imag-
mary. The fault, if it exists, can be
easily corrected and shoul be speed
lily. There is no logical reason why
state and UNCONVENTIONAL schools may
not be perfectly harmonious. The aim
of all should be to make one another
stronger and not to tear each other
down. There is urgent necessity for
both and so long as any possible de-
gree of harmony exists it is important
that both be maintained. The time
need never come, and The Journal
hopes it never will come, when either
class will have outlived it's usefulness.

Interesting Legas Possibilities

A San. Francisco manufacturer has
advised his little son, not once, but
fifty times, to avoid contentious with
other children, but if a quarrel is forced
upon him to defend himself at all haz-
ards.
The boy is a member Of the Plymouth
congregational Sunday school, and it is
the custom Of the pastor Of the church
to give every child in the Sabbath
school a nice little Bible on the Sunday
following his seventh birthday. Last
Sunday it was Master Kerr's time to
receive a Bible, and when his name was
called he marched up with a black eye
he had received in a fight with another
urchin the day before. The pastor
eyed the boys face narrowly and the
whole congregation Uttered. The little
fellow flushed with embarrassment, but
accepted the Bible as gracefully as
possible, listened to the few words of
commentator and advice, and started
for his seat. The tittering was renew-
ed, and when half way down the aisle
the boys pet up feelings could be re-
strained no longer. He resented the
imputation conveyed, first by the pas
tors searching gaze, and then by the
congregations amusement, and, stop
ping in the aisle, he turned around and
shouted:
We'll, I licked him, anyway"

Was Not

When the learned assistant
ton counsel came into court yesterday,
wearing "a gray skirt, narrow white
leather belt, black and white check
shirt waist, standing collar and black
tie," it was at once apparent to the
~chroniclers Of the proceedings that the
time for a departure in the musty
methods of setting down the evolution
of the law had arrived.
The entrance Of the learned assis-
tan corporation counse was, in fact,
a kind of informal notification that the
law is even now in the process Of be-
ing invested in shirt waists, gray skirts
and other mysteries Of ~multifarious
feminine habiliments, and that due re-
gard must be paid to that fact here
after in the literature Of the law.
The law books will in time be strewn
with descriptive sentences Of the sort
used in reporting those present at the
charity ball. Thus:
Opinion of Juggerson, CHI. J.. Black

The journalistic account Of the trial
will say: Counsel for complainant
then arose to reply, wearing a lovely
satin dress, trimmed with lace"
What a world Of opportunity for
crushing repartee the new order will
afford. Thus. in the heat of forensic
debate, shouts like this may be deliv-
cred: Il dissent, your honors, from the
position taken by counsel for the other
side, whose hat, I may remark in pass
ing, was not or straight" Or: May
it please the court, the precedent which
opposing counsel has cited no more fits
this case than her jacket fits her back.
Her deductions, like her front hair, are
false."-Chioago Daily News.
