ALL KINDS OF LAW.

In this land of liberty it is rapidly
getting so that what is right or lawful
for one man is not right or lawful for
another. 1t is getting so that courts
and judges appear to be more con-
cerned about who is charged with crime
than with what the crime really is, and
almost every day we hear of cases
where notoriously guilty men 60 scott
free because of their wealth or influ-
ence, while others are savagely punished
for some trifing offense, because, for
sooth, they are poor and friendless. In
st. Paul last winter poor drayman was
viciously prosecuted, convicted and
punished for taking a little hay to
keep his horse from starving to
death. It was proven that he could
get no work to do, that he had no
feed for his horse and no money to
buy it with and no credit; so, driven to
desperation, he went out to a hay stack
and took little hay-stole it, if you
please was savagely punished for
doing so, by some municipal judge who
doubtless knew how to wink at crimes a

hundred times as bad and never show
color, if there was something in it for
him. We don't know that it was so in
that case, but we have seen enough of
municipal trials, government and JUS
tice to think so and we have known of
numerous cases where grossest crimes
were condoned or overlooked because
the criminals were well-off or influen-
tial or "had the pull" If the law
must be enforced and poor man i'm
prisoned for stealing little marsh hay
for his starving horse, why not enforce
the laws against gamblers and thugs?

run contrary to license -Montevideo

THE INCULCATIoN OF LAW.

The desire to rule, to govern, is of
all ideas the most firmly grounded in
human nature. The savage in the
wood, the king on his throne; between
the two where lies the difference? The
army of the king compels obedience;
the brute strength of the savage de-
mands respect. Hence the difference
lies only in degree. The ruling element
is the same in each; the savage rather
more autocratic than the sovereign of
many. Again we may see in the relig-
ious ideas of social life, those elements
which seek to govern not alone the
spiritual but the material life of the
race: to rule the masses; to exercise au-
thority. This again is the development
of the same idea of the savage's desire
to rule. and has built up in early social
life those strong governments; the off
springs of religious fanatics as found
in India, Persia, Egypt, and the Celtic
druids of early Britain. Yet the Magi
of Persia or the Druid of Britain differ
only in degree from the American In
dian's Medicine man, or the NegrOitic
fetish Priest of Africa
Still another element may be found
entering into early social life product.
i've of it's laws and forms Of habit, and
this element, that higher knowledge,
that discerning nature, that ability to
reach conclusions that are sound and
right, from the most indistinct prem
ises with which few men seem pecul-
iarly gifted in every age, and whom
the less astute look up to and follow,
regardless of king or priest, army or
incarnation. Hence these four sources
seem to be the principal ones from
which sprang early social laws, brute
strength, religious instincts, diplomacy,
and an assumed superior knowledge
which the masses seem determined to
respect. From whichever source we
may trace law, however, it will be de-
Unable under that "rule of action laid
down by supreme power" as per
Blackstone. Turning to Webster, who
says: "Law is that rule of being or of
conduct established by an authority
able to enforce its will We find five

social life wherein millions of people,
weak and vacillating, follow in half
hearted, yet at times, determined
manner still weaker, more changeful
sovereign. This were not possible but
for the conciliating spirit of those
whom the masses meet in daily life and
who, acting as medium of soothing
nature, uphold the king, and mislead or
direct the people in order to uphold
their own power.
The religious idea of rule is totally
dissimilar in method and ultimately
more potent in its effects, for by play
ing on the national religious instinct
of the subject class a force is devel-
oped, that, as history everywhere has
proven, may at times acquire such
energy, and be so we'll directed as to
build up nation-a people ready and
willing to resist those advances which
would eventually strengthen their social
life, but fail of acceptance.
But why elucidate further along this
line, since under whatever form we
seek the early formative idea of law in
social life, we find it grounded into
each and every individual and exhibited
by brute force in the one; by cunning
in another; by superstitious fear of
an unseen power ever watching his
daily life; while others again submit to
and promote law from a full and ade-
quate knowledge of its necessity. One
may view the necessity for rules of
daily conduct in different light from
another, yet all unite in adopting the
main idea, and by so doing impregnat-
ing the rising intelligence with its
potency; increasing it's sphere of action;
centraIizing the social life and uniting
that life in its own peculiar habits and
ideas; giving to it its most distinguish
ing characteristics, and dominating
ideas, which in later years bear their
certain fruit-sometimes beneficial,
more often exceedingly bitter.

is PUBLICATION OF CRIMINAL
NEWS JUSTIFIABLE?

Newspapers that have reveled in
column after column, page after page,
of criminal news attempt to Justify
their course by argument that there is
a "great public demand for this species
of information. This is unquestion-
ably true, although we cannot see that
it is of itself a Justification. The avidity
with which large part of the public
rushes to all chronicles of crime is well
known. Newspapers that print horri-
bic details of human vice, that are only
prevented by the law from spreading
fully before the youth of the land those
hideous perversions of morals that
seem to attend high development of
civilization in all nations, grow rich in
every community. But their proprie-
tors are not very highly regarded by
the we'll disposed. Opium dealers be-
come atfiuent; gin mills thrive because
of demand" for alcohol; but we have
never heard that the panderers to two
forms of human weakness and vice
claim exepmtion from the well-known
contempt of society because opium and
alcohol craving is common and must
be satisfied. In fact, the newspapers
that devote their principal columns to
the details of crimes, reviewing them
not dispassionately as mere matter
of news. but fondling them, elaborat-
ing them, occupy morally the same po-
sition as the keeper of the opium den.
We think they are little worse. Your
master of the pipes does not stand on
the sidewalk "barking' for custom, he
does not put an opium pellet into the
morning coffee or drug the water in
the street fountains, or bribe the
apothecarY to sift morphine powder
into every glass of soda water. He
deals only with the rags of men whose
vice is all that remains of them, with
the haggard habitue who must smoke
or die. He would regard it as basely
immoral innovation if one of his rivals
should attempt to make the drug that

question much if any pain or ache
Of soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that is sworn
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoilng from the cruel steel,
Whose edge seems searching for the quiver-
ing life.
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh be torn,
This also can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching ill;
We seek some small escape; we weep and pray;
But when the blow falls, then our hearts are
still;
Not that the pain of its sharpness ShOrn,
But that it can be borne.
We wind our life about another life;
We hold it closer, dearer, than Onr own.
Anon it faints and falls in deathly strife,
Leaving us stunned and stricken and alone;
But. ah! we do not die with those we mourn;
This also can be borne.
Behold. we live through all things-famine,
thirst,
Bereavement, pain all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inflicts its worst
On soul and bOdy-but we cannot die,
Though we be SICK and tired, and faint, and
worn
Lo! all things can be borne!

newspaper makes crime, creates appe.
tite. There are papers which deliber-
ately, in cold blood and with heartless
disregard of the effect on public morals,
create feeling of hysterical sympathy
with crime for their own profit. They
say: "We are no better than the public;
we do not presume to higher moral
plane than our readers But in truth
they are as much worse than the people
whose crime and brutality they spur as
the ''jointkeeper is worse than the
smoker or the pander than his victim.
The tendency of certain class of
journals to sacrifice every vestige of
conservatism in the mad chase after
bizarre typographical and pictorial ef-
feet is disquieting, to say the least. 1t
were mistake to call these publica-
tions newspapers, for real newspaper
aims first of all to present it's readers
with the news of the day in consecutive
and coherent form. The actual news
paper uses in the main only such pic
lures and drawings as aid the reader in
complete understanding of the text,
with perhaps an occasional cartoon or
extra establishment that is always Sec
ondary to the news features of the
paper. Modern crazy-quilt Journalism
is as distinct from newspaper making
as Punch and Judy show is from the
legitimate drama. The crazy-quilt
journal is product of New York,
with few more or less slavish imita-
tors elsewhere. The methods of its
votaries have descended from one level
to another until the typographical ap-
pearance of some of these journals has
become veritable nightmare of exec
rable TASTE 1t is an infliction on the
average reader, for which no palliatiOn
can be found, to compel the eye to
wander over two or three separate
pages to follow disjointed piece of
news that is liable, after all the efforts
spent in it's search, to be unimpOrtant.
The plastering of square feet of white
paper with poster headlines and penny
dreadful pictures may be modern jour
nalism, but it is not newspaper making.
1t is possible for the makers of news
papers to be sane and respectable
without being open to the charge of
deficiency in either enterprise or 10y
atty to their readers. The craZy-quilt
journalists have not even the tlimsy
excuse of vitiated taste on the part
of the reading public. The average
buyer of newspaper has the right to
expect coherency and has neither the
time nor inclination to do his own edit
ing. The fad of subOrdinating news
to sort of delirium tremens makeup
will naturally run its course to
speedy reaction, but meanwhile it con-
stitutes an ugly blot upon rational
jOurnalism.-Press and Printer, Bos-
ton, Mass.

ON SOCIABILITY.

If sOciability is not one of the high
est of virtues, it is certainly one of the
pleasantest, and it hides more faults in
man and makes us forgive him more
weaknesses than would many sterling
quality of severest aspect. We cannot
help having soft place in our hearts
for the people who are easy to live
with. And then as rule, the So
ciable man gains this attractive quality
through being himself sympathetic.
Sociability usually indicates certain
largeness of interest, the desire to enter,
at least superficially, into the thoughts
and pleasures of others, whether that
desire be accompanied by depth of ex-
perience and breadth of information,
or not. Sociability is antagonistic to
selfshness. 1t is an easy-going virtue,
which need not reach any heroic height,
but which nevertheless is exceedingly
attractive, "livable, and humanizing
The higher one goes in the social
scale, the more restricted does sociabil-
ity become, until it is practically non
existent. Much of the convention that
has grown up in society is inevitable
and useful. 1t is product of civilized
society, and cannot be divorced from
it. A common levelling and the break
ing down of all social barriers could
only mean temporary arrangement,
which would quickly develop once
more into condition differing but
little from that which we experience
today. An individual has perfect
right to choose his or her friends; and
we cannot say that it is the duty of
any particular highly-placed person to
throw open his house to those with
whom his ordinary walks of life do not
lead him to associate. But it is always
to the advantage of society at large
that there should be a common meet
ing ground. There are happily many
such meeting grounds.
But it is not between class and class
that the difficulties of sociability lie.
Going lower in the social scale, we find
acquaintanceships and friendships
easily unmade. In more circumspect
circles man must possess something
more than his personality before he is
admitted to familiarity. 1t is like
crossing the Russian frontier-One
must have passport duly attested be-
fore one is admitted Some adopt
freer hospitality, and admit practically
every stranger that knocks at their
gates. They accept man by his face,
and do not think of staying to ask for
his history before taking his hand. No
doubt their confidence is sometimes
abused, and they find themselves bur-
dened with an undesirable companion.
But the average man is an honest man,
and there is always the weapon of os-
tracism-adopted quite as much at the
bottom of the tree as at the top-to be
finally resorted to.-Philadelphia Sat-
urday Eve. Post.

Examine your words we'll and you
will find that, even when you have no
motive to be false, it is very hard to
say the exact truth, even about your
own feelings-much harder than to
say something fine about them which
is not the exact truth.-George Eliot.
