Twice within year has the city of
Woodbury. been startled with the news
of dreadful murder committed within
its. limits. Last August by the shooting
of John Campbell by Nathan Humphreys,
and last Saturday evening when John D.
Payne shot and instantly killed William
L. Minks.
Why were the crimes committed ?
What were the causes Humphreys
shot Campbell after quarrel over game
of crap, with weapon which he had been
carrying around with him looking for
vicious dogs. Payne borrowed a revolver
with the alleged intention of killing dog.
What a similarity both of these crimes
have Concealed deadly weapons, carried
for protection against dogs, used in fits Of
anger and hatred against fellow-men, re-
suits being the death of the fellow-man and
the prison or gallows for the murderer.
Nearly every crime of this character can
be traced to this primary cause, "the
carrying of concealed deadly weapons. J"
Justice Charles G. Garrison, at the con-
clusion of the Humphreys trial, laid particu-
la. stress upon this practice and stated,
s'tIiese cases must be dealt with as class,
and not as an individual"
Murders, the result of this practice are
becoming altogether too frequent, and it is
now time that an end should be put to it.
Just as long as men carry loaded reyolyers,
these crimes will be committed.

A recent ruling of Chief Justice Gummere
is that the owner Of vicious dog cannot
be held responsible for the iniuies inflicted
by the dog unless it be proven that the dog
had bitten some person previously and that
the owner had knowledge Of the fact. It's
wonderful what deep and profound law is
being discovered and expounded these days.
We suppose the next decision will be that
no one shall be convicted of theft o. murder
on the first offence that it must be proven
that the prisoner has robbed or murdered
some one else before he may be convicted of
robbery or murder These be wonderful
times. Hunterton Democrat.

coin Steffen's July Mcclure Article.
Lincoln Steffens has at last tackled
Philadelphia. In the July number of
McClures' appears his story of municipal
grating in Philadelphia. Philadelphia
Corrupt and Contented," is pretty scath-
ing title, but the writer justifies it. Mr..
Steffens sees in Philadelphia "a city all
through with REFORM Philadelphians, he
says, are disfranchised like negroes in the
SOuth-dead dogs and children vote in
their places. Nothing hut revolution, in
Mr. Steffens's opinion, could overturn the
Philadelphia ring, which is forged, not in
city, or even state, but in the flame Of nat
ional politics. This is the most Outspoken,
the most trenchant, and the most powerful
of all Mr.. Steffen's splendid city articles.

VIM. D. Crum, the coIored man who
President Roosevelt appointed Collector of
Charleston would solve the lynchiDg prob
lem by quick legal death. He says
"Lynching is not race problem. There
is no North or South, but the form of I'M
lawful punishment is general all over the
country. Such punishments SAVIOR of bar
barism; but the crimes that provoke them
are SO atrocious that no punishment is too
severe. If the law was quick and decisive
there would be fewer lynchings. There
should be no delay. When man is guilty
he has no rights. The remedy is to EXTERN
mate the horrible wretches who commit the
crimes, promptly and legally, if possible.
II this is not done lynchings will continue

MICROCOSMS.
Saptent Sayings Regarding Some
of the Shortcomings of Men
and Women.

1t is rather harder to be petty out
doors; there is SO much breadth all
around, writes Dorothy Moore, in
Century.
Do I believe in chaperonage? Yes,
for my boy!
It won't do to be only partially a
lady.
Comets are probably male: their
eccentricities can be computed.
The most uninteresting person in
the world is he who is interested in
everything equally.
There is more joy over one sinner
who makes up a quorum than over
the ninety and nine who come regu-
larIy.
Before giving ones life to a cause
it is well to be sure that the gift is of
some value.
I never knew man to object to
any sphere for a woman that had him
for the hub.
To observe the habits of an echino-
derm-that is science. TO do the
same thing for man-that is only
fiction.
Temperament covers multitude Of
sins.
It is queer how much tyranny slip
shod people discover.
Life happens to some folks only in
novels.
If mere ideas are not truth, they
are at least the cloth of which it is
made.
Nothing worries woman so much
al not to belong to things.
