1t is said that, although the ceiebrat-
ed advocate, Lord Erskine, was some
times jocular and occasionally little
unfair in his treatment of witnesses.
no man was better able than he to
make them realize the foolishness or
utter irrelevance of their replies with
out giving offense. At one time a wit
ness obstinately refused to be sworn
In the usual manner, but stated that,
although he would not kiss the book."
he would hold up his hand" and swear.
Erskine asked him what reason he had
for preferrfng such an eccentric way to
the ordinary method.
ut is written in the book of Revela-
tion," replied the obstinate man, that
the angel standing on the sea held up
his hand"
THAT is very true" said Erskine,
with a smile, but l can hardly see
how that applies to your case. In the
first place, you certainly are not an an
gel, and, in the second place, you can
not tell-you have no means of know
ing-how the angel would have sworn
If he had stood on dry ground as you
do"
There was no fippancy or irrever-
ence In Erskine's tone, and after a mo-
ments reflection the stubborn witness
yielded the point, impressed by the ad-
vocate's common sense view of the
matter, and took the oath in the usual
manner.

IT IS SAID the oolored ministers In attend
ance upon the condemned murderers have
great hopes Of securing the exact truth
about the commission of the crime.
Is it possible they expect to do this with
out the aid of the great and only Lore
Of course they will use different means,
as Lore said, under oath, that he didn't en-
gage in the business Of prayer.

Two men are in the county Jail awaiting
execution for murder of adefenceless
woman. Both made confessions in which
each lied to such an extent as to leave q
suspicion that the exact truth of the occur
renee has not yet been made public.
The manner in which these confessions
were secured, that is SO far as the detec-
tives are concerned, have led some to think
the last criminal was not guilty beyond
reasonable doubt" There need not be any
fear on this score Both of the negroes
are undoubtedly guilty and deserve the
fate that awaits them. and nobody need
have the least apprehension that the hang.

the fullest limit the system under which
we are being served. Look into the rumor
that the township is paying more for its
light than individual consumers are.
Start some method by which we can be
assured that the power is not reduced after
midnight. The man at the station says it
is not and that the records will so show,
but then records are easily manipulated,
and the testimony of those using the
lights Is to different effect. There are
lots of things that have been overlooked
in the past that should be sharply scrutin-
lied in the future. AS to what is to be
done later is another question. Certain it
is that there is no necessity for this town
to put up with inferior service and high
rates in lighting, water, or any other COM
modify. The day for arrogance and what
are you going to do about itt" by corpor-
atoms has gone by.

the receipt of one of the calls. with a

some mistake In this as THE News is not

 Gorky came to America ten days ago; he came as the spokesman of the down. trodden people of Russia; he came as a pression He came with hands out stretched for American sympathy and pockets gaping for American money.

We lind that he brings with him the undivorced woman with whom he has been living during the past three years and he leaves behind him wife and two chill dren.
 For week Gorky and the actress, Andreieva. have openly defied the rules of public morality, they have been re- ceived into American homes and made welcome throughout the city for the NduSt they FtpTSSciltVu- On the fact of the illicit relations of the couple became known and they were elected from one prominent hotel after another. On Sunday further scandal was created. and today they hide their shame as best they may.
 The affront offered to the American people by Gorky calls for the condemna- tion and the rejection of the man but the episode is of value to Americans, for it discloses the fact that the minor ity of which We have spoken must be reckoned with. They have made pos sible the coming of Gorky, they justify his outrage of the rules of public de- cency.
 It is the millionaire socialist, H, Gay lord Wiltshire, who declares that he knew all about the manner In which Gorky and Andreieva were living be- fore he invited them to be his guests in this country. He says, These things are permitted in Europe" Are they Mir. Wiltshire? Well, they are not in America. Not yet, and never. please | God

 Do you know, too, that from the point or view of a hotel man, the con-
 strucicn of the New Exchange Hotel
 Is idealf For instance, with an oftiee and lobby as near the center of the building as arg those of the New Ex- change. it would be naturally thought that the ventilation would be seri- ous problem. But the builders of the New Exchange have solved this prob- lem admirably by the fine system which Is concealed by the art glass windows over the office. Another modern detail is tho building of cafe on the first | floor with the main dining room direct lyS above. This is an arrangement which marks the latest and most mod ern hotels of the country. There is aonther important detail which would be overlooked by the 1ayman. but which is Of great Importance to practical ho- tel men. It is that of the arrangements of the two entrances. the elevator and | the staircase. The clerk can stand at l hls post behind the counter and see every person who enters or leaves the | hotel.

Boise Idaho.-Bolse is probably the only city in the world which uses the interior fires of the earth as domes- tice furnace. All of the Boises public buildings. including the State capitol, and many of the private hotels and res idences are heated by steam from the bowels of the earth, piped to the city from the numerous artesian wells which shoot forth hot minerals water a half mile distant
 The temperature of the water is all ways sufficient to supply heat, and Boise residents are spared the worry of those who deal with the n a>l-made variety of furnace, which requires eter- nal vigilance and constant firing up to maintain proper degree of heat Now and then, however, the Boise janitor has his troubles, for there are times when the angry forces imprisoned in- side the earth's crust spit forth spray and steam of intense heat and all the valves of the system must work over time to control the hissing exhalation.
 Winter swimming is also a feature of Boise. despite the snow and ice of winter. the urchins of the city may be seen any day disporting themselves happily in the pools and ponds formed

syiacausa, AIa.. April I

5ytAcduBu, Aih.s ApTH 10. -- Editor The Advertiser: I thank you very kindly. .efor so gem erousiy publishing my little card some time ago as to why we see no steps taken in regard to the increase of pen old. worn-eut. indigent veterans. and and would be sorry to do one of them an in- justice.
 I read an, editorial in your paper headed Pension Money" that induces me to think that your recollection or mine is a little off.
 You stated that the last person in the State to complain at the failure of the Legislature, or Governor Jelks, to in crease the pension was the old soldier himself. The Talladega U. c. V. or ganization, at their last meeting. passed didates for the Legislature to the fact that the small amount of present pen- sion was insufficient, and that with so could afford to be more liberal
 Your paper stated that the veterans received last year four times as much as they did when the present admin istration came into office. Now, if I am in error, will you please point 1t out tc me, and if am not, please ex- plain how this increase came about, The highest limit for the worst dis abled soldier is s60 and the lowest limit for least disabled is $50. Will you inform me when 1t was seven and a half. in order to be the one-fourth of thirty, and oblige,
 Your Old Veteran Friend,
 A. L. Watts.
