ment when he shot and wounded De-
putty Warden See.
Judge Martins Instructions to the
jury differed somewhat 10 detail from
the instructions given at a former
trial when jury disagreed. Then one
Of his instructions permitted YER
dict OF guilty against one or more Of
the convicts, or an acqnittal Of one or
more.
This time the jury was instructed
that II 1t believed from the eidence
that one Of the four convicts In the
plot to escape killed Prison Officer
Johh A. Clay, verdict Of guilty Of
murder In the first degree should be
returned against all Of them.
A second instruction was to the
effect that II the jury believed Harry
Vaughn killed Clay, the others should
be held equally guilty.
The jury was finally instructed to
either return a verdict Of guilty Of
murder In the tirst degree against all
three convicts, or verdict Of acquit-
tai against three.

human, begin to mould his editorial
utterance to promote his candidacy.
The editor should have no axe to grind
except the public's axe. He can not
serve the people and his own political
ambition.
"The profession OF journalism has
furnished to the state many excellent
public officials and will probably fur

journalism gives training that well
qualities for oflice-holding. The edi-
tor who would be true to the highest
ideals OF bis profession, will not per-
NIT himself TO be deluded into the
belief that he can run for office and at
the same time be unhampered on his

his choice. That choice is journalism.
