The Exquisite DrubbhDg Which Judge

The Orangeburg Patriot has said 1t better
than We could say 1t, and we adopt that
papers well timed remarks about the defense
which Judge Benet made of South Carolina's
good name. A better man or an abler writer
than Judge Brnet Is hard to fiud. The Pa
triot says:
We have always been slow to criticise the
conduct OF men In the high and holy calling
entire satisfaction at the thoroughly eXquis-
its drubbing Judge Benet gave Bishop Potter
In the divorce controversy. Had the Bishop
been less curt, or shown more OF the Christian
spirit OF forbearance In his denial o f the SLAM
der against South Carolina alleged to have
been uttered by him, he would have been
spared the severe castigation that several lay
men put upon him. Truly, Judge Benet, In
the politest, most courteous and deiersntial
terms, literally flayed the naughty and super
cllious High Pr. est OF New York.

last Saturday afternoon. A goodly
sized audience heard the address
and all thoroly enjoyed It. 1t was
TO men only. lie brought out some
thoughts that contradict the cate
chisms Il little. For instance, one
assertion was that God never made
but one man and one woman. To
put it in blunt language, the rest
came like cattle and stCck-some
of it thorObreds, some of it mighty
scrawny, and most of it accident"
and much of it "unwelcome." He
took the Bible and science right
along together, and he clinched
every proposition, making h e
Bible and science agree. 1t was
an address helpful against skepti-
cism and helpful in all lines Of
thought. More of the Mexico
public, especially the young men,
should have heard it.

THE GAMBLERS QUIT.
The Laws Cannot Be COntemptOus-
ly Ignored In Missouri.

jefferson City, Mo-, July %. -
When asked tonight for his views
upon the closing of the Delmar
race track, Governor Folk said:
1.-THE closing of the gambling
ring at Delmar is triumph for
the law which now reigns supreme
all over the State. Missouri is the
most law-ablding State in the I'm
ion, where obedience is given to
the law because it is the law. No
matter how much wealth outlaws
may have behind them, or how
much influence, they cannot con-
temptuOusly ignore the laws with
impunity. This is the lesson of
Delmar.
III did not take action until
every means to inject life into the
local dutho rites had failed. The
metropolitan police having been
called upOn TO suppress the out
lawry when the matter was put up
to me, they went to the country
clothed with authority. They did
their work we'll, and the highest
compliment to the department is
the objection filed against their
use by the law breakers.
"Their complaint that the cOun-
ty officials were not allowed to go
on doing nothing and that in con-
sequ enceof the police coming they
can no longer gamble safely; that
they were rudely interfered with
in their attempt to violate the law
Of the State; that their rights to
com NIT felonies in defiance of the
pOol-selling statute have not been

pathies of the laW-observing,"

MRs. BAILEY seems to have been
the power behind the gun that killed
Jay Lawder. The evidence viii prob
ably SHOW that Mrs. Bailey tried to
borrow a gun 70 do the shooting her
self. There seems to be nc doubt in
reference to the character OF Mrs.
Bailey in the minds Of the people who
know her. Whether Mrs. Bailey was
trying to extort money from Mr.. Law
der with the knowledge Of her husband,
or whether Mr.. Bailey was acquainted
with the real character Of his wife are
questions which will be settled in
court. 1t would appear as though
Lawder was killed because he wanted
to break any friendship that may have
existed between him ami Mrs. Bailey
Just what Mrs. Bailey told her hus
band in reference TO the affair \
known only to herself and her husband
The people OF Farber seem TO be o
one mind-that Lawder was murdered
in cold blood, that Mrs. Bailey is
woman of bad character and that he
husband knew or should have know
this fact.
