Montgomery, January 21.-(Special)-A
William II. Thomas of the criminal court
of Montgomery in the publication of his
paper. "Individualism VS.. Law" in the
current issue of the American Law Re-
view of st. Louis. This publication is
regarded as one of the most ex ellgive
of its class. It's editor Is Seymour d.
Thompson, author of Thompson on
Trials, and a man of wide influence in
every department of legal thought and
research of the nation. Judge Thomas
paper was read before the International
Congress of Arts and Sciences at st.
Louis last September, and is a study of
the relation existing between the person
and the statute.
While he begins by saying that Law
is the arbitrar.' boundary between indi-
vidual liberty and collective CONTROL" he
asserts in the next breath that "above
law. making and repeating 1t. is public
opinion. In a democracy the principle of
equality is the basis of this opinion" he
continues, but with power as the cen
trail idea its practical result is inequality
that tends to magnify the power of the
individual and mnify the restraining
functions of the government. From this
has come q false sentimentality that has
hirdered the enforcement of law in the
United States.

Homicidal Research.

Taking up the question of murder, Jurge
Thomas shows that for every million
Inhabitants in the United States we have
1858 homicides, compared to ASS in Ger
many, England and Wales have 1O.15.
France 14.22 and Belgium s. Only Rus
81 can compete with the domain of
Uncle Sam in the shedding of the blood
of man by his fellows. Discussing the
geographical tendencies of this DISPOSE
tic to murder, the paper shows that in
lew England, with % per cent. foreign
bern population, there are 254 murders
year, or 2.34 for every COO inhabitants.
The other sections are reconted as fol-
lows: Middle ttlantic states. IS per cent.
70 cien. 1858 nomicides each twelve
months. or 40 per $1,000; central, Il per
cent, 2St3 and 400. respectively; southern,
2 per cent, 1914 and 11.15; Pacific. IS per
cent. 1871 and An. Thus 1t is seen that
the Pacific slope, with few negroes and
a lower per cent. of foreign born, far
ez-ceeds in bloodshed any of the other
subdivisions. To discover the causes for
the variations Is difficult. and the moro
reasons are sought points out Judge
Thomas, the more astonishing become the
results. Some lave argued that climate

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome

when the germs which cause a disease

Racial Influences.


The argument that races govern the
number of murders also falls down. Dis
c ssing this the judge presents these
facts:
"Hexas, with population of $500 900
whites and 625,000 negroes, has about the
same number of homicides as Alabama,
Louisiana, and South Carolina. with b.
6SS.31 whites and 2,76O,4 32 negroes while
in Nevada, with only 1874 negroes, and
1852 Chinese, In a population of AZ. 1886, the
homicides are 80, the highest rate in the
United States That of Maryland, having
four times as many whites as colored, is
as great as Louisiana. where the races
are nearly equal. 1t is noteworthy that the
negro at the south does not kill the white
man, nor the white man the negro, so
often as the negro kills the negro.
Professor Lombroso of the University
of Turin, commenting on these figures,
said: If we are to accept the statement
that so per cent. of the homicides are furn-
ished by the whites, and the remaining 40
per cent. by the colored race, 1t must be
remembered that the former constitute
So per cent. of the population and the lat
ter but II per cent. therefore, it is clear
that were 1t not for the negro population
the crime of homicide would be almost as
rare in the United States as 1t Is in the
most civilized countries of Europe. The
colored race furnishes to the statistics of
this crime. proportionately, more than five
times as many cases as the whites; in
other words among the former, there are
forty-five homicides to every 100000 inhabi-
tants, while among the latter there are
but eight to every 100000

Negrs Not to Blame.
Il can not, however, agree with the
view expressed that If 1t were not for the
presence of the negro homieides would
be almost as rare in the United States
as 1t is in the most civilized countries of
Europe for these three reasons: First:
That the highest rates or homicide are in
the Pacific states, where only a small per
cent of negroes live; second, If one
| should charge to the negro four-fifths and
to the whites one-ffth of the homicides
committed as stated by Lombroso there
would still be 1876 homicides annually to
be accounted for by the white, and If
then we deduct the negro population from
the total population 1t would give us a
rate per million of more than five times
as much as in Germany three times that
in England; and twice that in France.
Third 1t may also be suggested as a
reason why his figures would not present
the exact condition in the United States.
that his percentage Is based on the whole
number of prisoners convicted of homi-
eide, yet takes no consideration Of the
fact that the white man had the advan-
tage of education, wealth, and influence,
and was the better prepared to make ex-
cuse for his acts, and for such reason
was not so often indicted by grand juries,
or after Indictment, convicted.
1.-THE Pacific states, with per centum
o. population colered (96,522 Indians. 49,
OW Mongolians, and 1880 negroes) have
much higher rate than the southern
with 3S per centum negroes. The two
geographic divisions having the most for
eign born. show the lowest rate of hom-
icides.
Accepting the statement that of the
1922 white prisoners In the United States
charged with homicide June |, 1890, 1913
were foreign born, 1t will then be noted
that the native whites furnish 70 pe
cent and the foreign born whites u
per cent of the 4422 white prisoners; In
this connection. however, 1t must be re-
membered, that the former constitute 80
per cent of the white population and the
latter Is per cent. or that the foreign
born furnish twice as many prisoners
for the offense of homicide as the native
whites.

Castle and Royal Seat at Bygdoe Be-

Although the Bernadotte family has
occupied the throne of Norway for
nearly ninety years, its possessions in
Norway are singularly small. Morgen-
bladet of Christiania, in replying to
insinuations from Swedish sources that
Norway would deprive King Oscar of
his property in Norway, gives an in
ventory of his holdings. The castle in
Christiania, the villa known as Oscar
shall and the royal estate on Bygdoe
belong to the state, so King Oscar
loses nothing in that direction except
the pleasure of occupying them on rare
jacent to the Bygdoe estate, six villas,
some old buildings such as the stave
church from Col, together with Hen
sengen and Stromsborg works. Fur
thermore there are some works of art

prived of several gifts presented to
the king with the expectation that
they would remain in Norway and also
of the portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm in
the uniform of Norwegian admiral,
which was taken to Stockholm last
year after having been hung fourteen
years at the castle.
Since the separation King Oscar ex-
pressed a desire to possess the royal

promptly complied with. The flag at

No MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Lifo Wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In an@mia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way i'll
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
tho nerves and produces pain. In rheu
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
i'll the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept i'll the system affect the
blood i'll the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on tho contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief III head
