Thou Shalt not Judge.

The Lafayette Sun adjudged Robert In
gersoll guilty and condemns him to howl
out an eternity of woe" whereupon the
Ashland Standard quotes these words from
what is perhaps the COOLEST book of the
Bible:
The second chapter and first verse Of the
Book of Romans, which reads as follows
bars us from Judging a mans soul: Thou
art inexcusable, o man, whosoever thou
art that judgest; for wherein thou judgest
another, thou condemnest myself; for thou
who judgest doth the same things"

THE EDITORS
AND THEIR TALK

Editor William C. Jemison, of the Tusca-
loosa Times, thus passes upon the passing
of William Waldorf Astor:
While we cannot appreciate the taste or
feeling that prompted William Waldorf
Astor to become a British subject, when a
native of the proudest, grandest country
on EARTH we think he has a perfect right
to exercise that taste-as much so as any
transatlantic subject to become natur-
allied American citizen. To burn him in
effgy is, to say the least, indicative of a
low order of civilization, of which we
ought to be very much ashamed.

Not Ready For Anse.

The Mobile Item is inclined to be sarcas-
tic. in saying:
The supporters of old man Anse Nc
Laurin in Mississippi are so elated over his
victory that they are mentioning him for
the presidency. The people of Mississippi
may make a formal transfer of their state
to the McLaurin family but the United
States is not quite ready to make such a
deal.

Some poet whose name has been lost to

Went out for a ride with tiger;
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And a smile on the face of the tiger"
