COURTS AND LYNCH LAW.

While lynch law is to be deplored
at all times because it is a defiance
OF organized government and is there
fore a species of anarchy, there are
some extenuating features in the
Asotin county case. A young, trusting
and innocent thirteen-year-old girl,
the daughter Of Sheriff Richards, one
of the most honOred and respected
citizens of Asotin county, while on
her way through the woods to Sunday
school at a country church some dis
lance from summer camping ground,
was waylaid by a moral degenerate, a
beast in human form, who, after out
raging her, beat her brains out with a
club and threw her body into the
bushes in the hope of cOnceallng his
crime. Such a monster as that in the
right to live. The laws Of our state
properly administered would have de-
creed his speedy death, but there
comes the rub. Justice often miscar-
ries and the Asotin county people had
a recent proof that murderers are not
sure Of punishment at the hands Of
juries. At Pomeroy, in the adjoining
county Of Garfield only a few weeks
ago a woman who had brutally muir
dered her husband while he slept and
then concealed his body in a potato
hole thirty feet from his bedroom win
dow, where it was discovered by Off
GERS of the law several months after
wards, was acquitted on the plea of
self-defense The woman confessed
the killing but when placed on the
witness stand told a story of having
been attacked by her husband and
of having turned upon him with an
ak, striking the fatal blow just as he
was leveling a gun at her. No intel
igent citizen of Garfield or Asotin
county, where the murdered man and
the woman were we'll known, be-
lieved this story. The woman had not
only attempted to conceal the crime
by burying the body of her victim in
the dOoryard, but she had written let
tiers to his sister in Honolulu asking
the latter to tell that her brother had
died on shipboard on the way to that
city from San Francisco. This muir
deress unQuestionably deserved hang
ing, but instead she got an acquitta
from a jury of twelve men supposed
to be possessed or ordinary judgmen,
AMI common sense. The woman knew
the state of public sentiment and she
lost no time in shaking the dust OF
Garfield county from her feet. her val
liable farm probably going to her at
torneys as the price of her acquittal.
1t is no wonder in the face of such
an outrageous verdict as this that the

people Of that section of the state have
lost faith in courts and juries. Lynch
ings all over the United States are due
principally to the same cause. Crimi-
nails of the deepest dye get off with
nominal sentences or go scot free
through the delays and the technicali-
tie; of the law or possibly through the
venality CT judges and juries. In many
instances men sit on the bench who
were placed there not because of
their ability, integrity AMI learning,
but because corrupt men wished to
use them as tools and manipulated
nominating conventions to that end.
The remedy is to emancipate the judic-
larry of this country from the control
of politicians A non-partisan judic-
larry would be more likely to have the
manhood, the honor and the courage
to administer justice fairly and speed
lily.
We cannot complain Of lynch law so
long as it is invoked as a remedy for
the manifest shortcomings and flag
rant misdoings of duly elected courts
and juries under the laws Of organized
society.

Rsvolvlap Tooth Brush.

The dentist will tell you that II Is
Of vital Importance In cleaning the
teeth that the brush be moved toward
the edge Of the teeth instead OF toward
the gums, as the improper use Of the
brush will cause the gums to recede
from the teeth and expose the roots to
the action OF decaying acids and other
detrimental matter. The new brush
shown in the accompanying drawing
has been designed with a view to
raeetlng this demand for movement in
a single direction, having a mechanism
which prevents backward rotation
when the handles are relaxed for CIV
ing a fresh impetus to the brush. As
will be seen, the handle is designed
to contract In the hand, and is ex-
banded again by the V.shaped spring
at the ends. The shaft which carries
the circular brush has a toothed wheel
at the opposite end, and a reversible
rack bar Is attached to the upper
handle to rotate the shaft as the
handles are contracted. This rack
bar can be shifted to either side Of
the shaft to move the brush in oppo-
site direction. and as ratchet is To-
Gated inside the gear wheel to trans.
NIT the motion to the shaft the latter
remains motionless while the rack
bar is moving backward. With a lit
tie practice the operator can produce a
rapid rotation Of the bristles in the
proper direction on either side OF the
face, cleaning the teeth much more

April a Lucky Month
American People Have Settled Great Problems During
rs Thirty Dsys-MomenGoUs IN the Annals
Of Our National History

did you know that the month Of
April has played a more conspicuous
part in American history than any
other month of the YEAR," asked a
man who Is fond OF things historical.
From the way look at the events
Involved april . the most important
OF all the months and have often
wondered why the American people
show so much indifference TO the
fact Why. when you come to think
OF II, the Fourth Of July, while, Of
course. important enough, Is yet
not quite so momentous In the annals
Of American history as some other
days one might mention. April has
been the one month of the year
which has really settled the great
problems with which the American
people have had to deal. Suppose we
glance at the record for a moment.
THE war of the revolution began
April 10, 1775. and ended April IL,
1888. Coming on down we find the
Sabine disturbance, involving the
southwestern frontier, Louisiana, Ark.
ansas and Texas, and which began
In April, 1886, running through to
June OF the next year. The Mexican
war began April "a. 1886. The Yuma
expedition into California ended in
April. 1852. having Jegun in Decem.
Der the year previous. The ella ex.
petition into New Mexico was launch.
ed April 16, 1857 The Colorado river
expedition in California ended April
rs, 1859. The Pecos expedition into
Texas was launched April 16. 1859.

There was the war Of the rebellion,
which started April 10, 1861. Hostill.
ties actually began when Fort Stump.
ter was fired upon April ~, 1861.
THE Ute expedition In Colorado
began April 3, 1878. It is a rather
curious coincidence that the late war
with Spain began April n, in the
same month and but two days later,
with respect to the day Of the month,
than the war OF the rebellion, which
began April 18th The spanish-Ameri.
can war began April 2l. 1898. and end
ed April II, 1899. These are some Of
the more important things which have
taken place in the month of April
and many Of the events have been Of
deep import from the viewpoint Of
Americans. What reason can you
assign for the conspicuous part April
has played in the history OF America?
Do men feel more like fighting In
April than In the other months OF the
year? Is the spirit OF war and revo-
luton influenced by the rising of The
sap? do not know, but there must
be some good reason for the happen
ing Of these great things. wars. ex.
ploratlons, adventures and events of
this sort in the month Of April. At
any rate they have happened in April
audit wouldbe unreasonable and alto
gether absurd to assume that these
things are due to haphazard, that they
are mere condolences. April cannot
be explained out OF It's rightful inherit.
