Thought It Was Town Meeting.

Attorney Don H. Powers of Maine, a
brother of Congressman Lewellyn Pow
ers. was once defending a man who was
charged with some minor onense. The
trial was before a trial justice in a
country town. and at the close of the
preliminary hearing a wag in the court
room arose and said: Mr.. Judge,
VIII make a motion that the prisoner
be discharged
II viii second the motion" chimed in
another spectator.
The trial justice, who evidently for
got where he was, and thought he was
presiding at a. town meeting, said THE
prisoner is discharged
Powers and the prosecuting attorney
were so astonished at this method of
deciding the innocence or guilt of the
respondent that they never opened their
mouths. and the case ended IN this
fashion.-Boston Herald

from Peacock alley toward the cafe.

gambler said, Whats your hurry?'
Mr. Gates turned and walked back.

FROM OTHER PENS

THE CONDONFMENT OF LYING,
The result of the prosecution of the
Joint cases in Topeka recalls the remark
made by Miss Tarbeu in Kansas City
recently that lying is the national vice
of America. Here were witnesses who
went on the stand and swore that they
did not know what whisky was, that
they had seen no drinking in the joints
and that they had bought no liquor in
the places, though they had purchased
hop tea" or corn juice" OF course,
with most of the witnesses such state
ments were simply lies. That might as
well be frankly admitted. So great
state must undergo the humiliation of
seeing one of It's fundamental laws multi
fed in its capital with imprnity through
the most open and shameless disregard
Of the requirements of common honesty.
What will the effect of the spectacle be
on the morals OF the young men Of
Kansas How will they regard the in
volatility of a mans word when they
see such exhibitions of successful per-
jury2 And what viii be their attitude
toward law? Such incidents as the
farcical trials in Topeka-and in KAN
sas Citv. Kan=nust be dreadfully de-
moralfzing to q community. They pre-
cipitate a serious problem on the state.
It may we'll consider whether the only
reasonable alternatives are not the en-
forcement of the Law or its repeal. The
present method of permitting a policy
of evasion is too costly. It encourages
both contempt of government and per
jury.-Kansas City Star.
