The Best Defense.

When man accused of misdolng is
brought to trial in court it sometimes
happens that the prosecution is able to
produce a considerable quantity OF
testimony tending to establish his
guilt, even though he is entirely in
of the case may find it difficult to de-
teTmine what portion Of the evidence
submitted by the state is genuine and
how much is manufactured by wit
nesses who have a personal motive for
securing conviction. In all such in
stances, says the Chicago Post, edi-
torially, particularly where only cir
cumstantial evidence is offered to sus-
tain the indictment, the value Of a
good character stands forth as the
best possible shield against the in
situations and implications of the
prosecution. When man has lived an
upright and worthy life among his
neighbors for years, 1t is the best of
eircumstantial evidence in his favor
that can be produced. Men do not
suddenly reverse themselves. It is true
there are plentiful references to Dr..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde il the newspa
pers. and there may be few such
cases in real life; but usually there are
as many who know the Mr.. Hyde as
there are who are acquainted with the
DR.. JekylI; SO that, if a man should
stand publicly accused of wrongdoing,
there would be as many come forward
to testify against him as there would
be TO give evidence in his favor.

Let not the plodding citizen who goes
TO his trade or profession every day, ard
to church once on Sunday, and takes a
walk into the green fields Sunday after
noon, getting enough money to keep
himself and his family fairly well fed,
housed and clothed. and able to keep the
children well enough dressed to go to
school, go into the blues every time
he reads about a big operator making
$1,000, 600 or SO at a single turn of the
market. Beloved brother, not all OF
these stories are true, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. Perhaps large ma
5ority Of them are fictitious. Operating
in Wall street causes much loss of sleep
and denies d great many men the Sc
renity and eontentment of wholesome
old age. And then the time is SO short.

Missouri's New Game Law.

In May the game law passed at
the recent session of the legislature
will go into effect. It is we'll for
citizens who hunt or fish to famil
iarlze themselves with its lrovis
ions. The fines provided for its
violations are not small, and it is
unpleasant for the sportsman to
have his outing interrupted by a
summons before 4 magistrate.
Game and fish wardens are APP
pointed by the governor, with de-
putty wardens in each congression
al district, while all sheritfs. mar
shals, constables and justices are
game and fish wardens by virtue
Of their Office. Nonresidents must
pay license of s15 to hunt in the
state. A license to hunt, at cost
of 81. is required from residents
except il the case of owners and
tenants hunting on their own
premises, and resident Of one
county can not hunt in another
county without obtaining licence.
One bird, the pheasant, may not
be killed at all until 1910.
Missouri should have had long
ago Il law to protect effectively the
many bounties nature has bestow-
ed on its forests and streams.
Every reasonable citizen can see
that the modern means Of destruc-
ton are so extensive that fish and
game would he extermlnated un-
less proper regulations are enforc-
ed. About the only unprotected
birds in Missouri henceforth are
sparrows, hawks, owls and crows.
Fishermen with hook and line are
under no special restraint, but
those using other devices should
give the new law careful read
ing. Certain fish below a certain
size may not be offered for sale.
Due obedience to the law for a
few years will work a beneficial
change for all citizens, hunters
and fishermen included. The ap-
preparation for it's enforcement for
two years@is $500 - Globe

Whether the result of the cleo
ton in Chicago the other day will
be in the immediate taking over
by the municipality of all the
street railways in that city, to
run them under public owner
ship, must be awaited from the
new administration committed to
that policy. The chief significance
Of the qusstion-lies iu the over

of Chicago in support of the pub

Rill argue that the city cannot
conduct such public utilities with
any greater success or comfort to
the public than they we're run un-

that the people are seeking

Rockefeller asks for proofs that
his money is tainted. Is it neces-

that Rockefeller, a single individ-
ual has by some means acquired one
billion dollars ought to be sufficient
to convince the most skepticas that
the code of common morality has
been overstepped in the acquisi-
tion of such sum. Rockefeller
may have a legal right, doubtful
as it may be, but no amount of

stances will admit the claim that

wrongfully of the substance of
their toll and energy.

How to Know Mheu You're Full.

Say, do you know there are lots
Of people who can't tell when they
are fulls Well, sir, | can lay you
down some rules that'Il give it to
You about right.
Now, here is one: When you
get so you can't hear your feet
light on the sidewalk, don't try to
take more'n another one.
Here's another: When you are
walking along the street and every
person you meet looks like some
one you haye met before, it's a
good time to look for the road
home.
When you go home at night an
go to bed, if you reach down an
get hold of the bottom Of your
nightshirt, an pull it aroun' your
neck, an think it's the sheet, it's a
sure sign you're good an drunk.
If you get up in the mornin' an
put on one shoe an then pick
up the other one, an look at the
sole Of it, to see what foot it goes
onto, you had better go up the
river an fish awhile before goin
to work.
These ain all the rules | know
of by which you can tell wher
you're full, but they are sufficient
for q new beginner.-Ex.

Dr.. Cromer's Rejoinder To Senator
Tillman.

The State has received the follow
ing with the request 70 publish:
Hon. B. R. Tillman,
Dear Sir: Your BITTER published
this morning calls for an explanation
and disclaimer.
1t greatly surprised me that any
thing in my last letter seems to war
rant the inference that I am trying
to mislead the people. I took it for
granted that all who have intelligence
enough to follow the discussion knew
already that the supreme court had
upheld the constitutionality OF the dis
pensary law, including the profit fea-
ture. I said that the supreme court
and the prohibitionists ar re together IN
the proposition that "liquor in its ma
rure is dangerous to the morals, good
order, health and safety of the peo-
c!e," and that "from that point OF
view the state may take control OF
the traffic to police it, but not TO
profit by it," That language means,
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1905-08-29

il it means anything. that the state
NAV take control Of the trat1lc tor
the purpose OF controlling it but not
for the purpose OF profiting by it.
Under the decision Of the supreme
court. control must be the main OBJ
ihct; trade and pfofit must be merely
incidental. I was combating the po-
sition of those advocates OF tile dis
pensary who urge the profit feature
'*as a justifying fact" and who are
virtually teaching the people that we
should support the system as prot
table revenue measure. The argu-
ment stated in logical form is as fol-
lows:
If LIQUOR in it's nature is dangerous
to the morals, good order, health and
safely OF the people, it is wrong tor
the state to take control OF the trattlc
to profit by it. But the supreme court
holds that liquor in its nature is dam
gerous TO the morals, good order'
health and safety OF the people; there
fore. it is wrong for the state to take
control of the traffic to profit ny II.
I was arguing the question on the
ground of public morals, but nothing
was farther from my intention than to
conceal or nisrepresent the law OF
the question.
Your comments on the extract
from the Charlotte Observer are not
in reply to anything that have said;
but since you have brought it into
this correspondence, I am moved by
nv high respect and esteem tor the
members of the supreme court to
say that I am not in sympathy with
the spirit of that extract.
