flower which she saw growing in the
stream. No sooner said than done,
but the knight, overbalancing, fell
into the river and, owing to the slip

of his own armor, was carried away
by the current. AS he threw the
flowers ashore to his lady he cried out
with bis last breath, "Vsrgiss mein

tuated by as many varying preferences
and preiudices to convict. The chance
that innocence may 60 undiscovered
and guilt may be unjustly established
is too faint to be considered.
Then come the exceptions, in the
hope that the supreme court may lind
some flaw in the prior procedure and
order new trial. There is a loop
hole Tor the accused at every step from
his arrest to his final conviction and the
imposing of the penalty.
If this chances to be imprisonment,
the case is by no means closed.
Scarcely has the prisoner reached the
place OF confinement when plans are
laid to secure his early pardon. He
has nothing to lose and everything to
gain by seeking executive clemency.

oner, his friends and his attorneys, but
to the supreme disgust of the commun-
ity for whose protection the law was
invoked. This happens so frequently
nowadays it is no wonder that people
are losing faith in their own institu-

We fear that our respected con-

point of the article which he essays
to criticise. We did not endorse
Gen. Baden Powelrs reported views,
(Which he has since taken pains to
disclaim) but took them as the text
for word or two of our own. The
point we desired to make in particular
was that under our present high
standard of living in America, which
characterizes the military service, as
well as civil lite, the demands of the
soldiery are 80 varied and extensive
that in time OF severe stress it is
impossible to answer them, and the
men, deprived of those things to
which they have been accustomed,
are in danger Of losing strength and
spirit. 1t would be better if their
needs were fewer. for they could be
more easily met The army, whether
British or American, that is tied
closely TO its wagon trains acts at a
disadvantage, compared with the
army that is not.
