The L.wyer,s Right TO Weep.

The Supreme Court Of Tennessee
has decided that a lawyer has the
right to shed tears to influence the
verdict of a jury, and, In fact, says
that If he can bring tears to his eyes
Mt will he is derelict II he neglects
to do so. The case was n In which
the defendant had appealed on the
ground that the weeping Of the attor-
ney for the plaintiff had unduly infiu.
enced the jury. The court found that
the point had never been raised be-
fore, and asserted that the manner Of
defense must be eft largely to the
judgment of attorneys. "Somc," said
the judge, IDEAL wholly In logic argu-
ment without any establishment. 9th
ers use Rhetorical and occasional
flights of fancy and imagination. 9th
ers rely upon noise md gesticulation,
earnestness Of and vehemence
Of speech. Others appeal to the pas
sions, prejudices and sympathies OF
the jury. Others combine all Of these
NODES" He declares that no cast
iron rule should be made, but that
tears have always been considered
legitimate arguments before a jury,
and would appear to be II of the
natural rights of counsel, as 1t would
be difficult to decide whether or not
the emotion was natural IL such q
point should be raised. He says O
trial judge should not interfere with
the shedding of tears unless they art
INDUCED In - such an excess as tc
Impede, emharrass, or delay the bust

Convict. and Good Roads,

The agitation OF the League Of
American Wheelmen to have convicts
used In building public roads Is slow
ly making Roadway. On this subject
the New York Post recently contained
the following:
THE League for Good Roads,in Onei-
da County, reports favorably on the
experiment Of employing cOnvicts on
road-making. Under the direction of
perintehdence of a trained engineer,
| the county prisoners have constructed
a macadam road, one and three-tenths
miles long, through the village OF New
York Mills. near Utica. The county
authorities made a contract with the
road district. whereby IL was to fur
nish laborers at twenty-five cents O
day, and allow the use of Its stone
crusher, steam-rOller. etc, free OF
charge. The road district furnished
the necessary fuel and material. an,
paid for supervision. The cost Of Tho
road was about $5S75, or $500 a mile
and the total cost was only three times
the amount OF the annual road tax
AZ II will cost only $3.50 n year Il
keep the new road in repair, the an
nual saving will amount to abou
$3.50, and after the cost has been re
paid the taxpayers will be delievet

was a large opa,. which reflected
many various and brilliant hues. but
far more precious than the beauty Of
gems Of gold was the magic power
hidden In the ring Of making it's wear
er beloved by his fellow-men.
The noblen an. who was the happy
owner OF the ring, never removed 1t
from his finger, and was resolved that
after his death it should also remain
in the possession of his own family.
SO he bequeathed the ring to the one
he loved best among his sons, with
the condition that he in turn should
bequeath II to his ~favorite son. and so
through all succeeding generations.
The innerltor CT the ring was always
sure to be beloved by all who knew
him. and was, besides, to be consid-
cred as the head of the family without
regard to birthright.
After being handed down I'm this
way through several generation, the
ring came at last into the possession
of a father who had three sons, all
equally obedient and loving and all
equally dear to him. Many times did
the father t-y to decide in his W
mind to which Of his sons he should
bequeath the ring, but as he loved
them all equally he could not choose
between them.
Being n daJ alone with his eldest
inherit the ring, and at another time
to the second son, seeming to him the
most worthy, he made the same prom
Use, and even did the same another
day to the thin son. Soon after this
he was attacked by IN illness. and
feared that his end was drawing near,
yet he was still unable to decide to
whom +" should really leave the ring
feeling 30 unwilling to deprive two OF
his sons of that to which all seemed
to have an equal claim. At last, IN
the midst of his perplexity, a new
idea struck him, and he sent secretly
an order to n jeweler to make tive
rings after the pattern Of the magic
ring, and to spare no expense or pains
to make Them exactly like 1t.

any OF them become known to the law
the trial jury is made w OF the very
persons who are IN the same case as
the prisoners and could easily pass
from the box to the dock. so that con-

the future is the encouraging comment
she will hear nom all sides.
In a recent strong but harmful book
distinguished writer has made a plea
Of justification OF lynching. whose pages
are often referred TO In the South as
palllating the crime. In It is the story
OF an upright man and law-abiding.
who by every means at his command
opposed lynching. He was about to be
married when his fancee became the
victim OF an outrage. which in the
South as elsewhere takes place with un-
forgivable crimes. The lover led the
lynchers and allowed no man to aid
him in putting the rope around the
guilty negro's neck. Then he boldly
avowed his share in the deed, and an
approving people indorsed it as a right
eous act. The fault with this story is
that it begs the whole question by
making it personal to every reader. who
is asked in the directest terms would
you. in that mans place. have done the
same? The answer. having regard to
the qualities OF human nature must be
almost invariably yes. But that reply
has no bearing upon the outrage done

concerned.
The law in the South provides for the
criminals punishment and for this Of
fense has but a single movement, and
it leads to death by execution. The OBJ
ject of it, If guilty. cannot escape, and
it matters nothing to him whether It
be delayed or come promptly. He has
but one life and it stands forfeited. The
lesson Of a legal execution must always
be more impressive and salutary than
the prompt justice Of a mob, and It is
partly for this reason that lynching is
a crime. 1t may have been some satis-
faction to the community to allow the
hero Of the story to execute with his
own hand an act of vengeance. but the
offense to law was a high price to pay
for the satisfaction.

pie its delibarative methods will secure
all the vengeance they can achieve
by the widest deeds, but If its provi-
sions be broken the arm Of justice is
paralyzed in all its functions and a

by these convictions. has done well, and
she has answered the problem in the
apologize with an emphatic No.
