Some Curious Phases of Law in Differ

The recent murder of Senior Balmaceda,
secretary to the CHILEAN legation In Brus-
sells. by Luiz Waddington. son OF the Chill
ian minister again directs attention to one
OF the many laws that are sadly in need
Of alteration
1t will be remembered that Waddington
after firing five shots at his sisters be-
trothed, ran at full speed to the Gillian
legation. which stands close to Senior Bal
maceda's house. and took refuge there.
In consequence of this action the police
have no power to enter the building and
arrest the murderer. for the legation is
considered to be foreign territory and
therefore inviolable. The murderer Is thus
able for the time to snap his fingers at the
law and the police.
Even had the crime been committed in
this country our authorities would have
been just as helpless, for, as the law runs
the official residence of the representatives
or foreign countries are exempt from the
stand. and local authorities have no right
TO enter them under any circumstances

cation proved his story to be true. yet
the police were prevented by the law from
arresting and Furnishing him.

WRAP COTTON WITH COTTON

The Dallas News, commenting on suggestion of the Taylor County News that the scarcity of cotton bag glng would justify the adoption of 1 cotton as the material out of which 70 manufacture bagging, makes the further suggestion that this bagging should be manufactured in the state penitentlary. Both suggestions are good, and their adoption would tend toward higher prices for cotton. If all the bales of cotton were wrapped in cotton, and if all the people who make the bales were wrapped in cot ton, and if all the people whose pros perlty depends on the people who make the bales were wrapped in cot ton, the South would be acting lit. tie more sensibly with her rich monop- oly.
 But we think our neighbor of the Taylor County News over-shoots the mark when he says that the adoption of cotton as wrapping material would utilize perhaps million bales more cotton" With a crop of twelve and a half million bales, a half million made into bagging would put twenty pounds on each bale, not counting weight of ties. But if an even half million bales should unexpectedly come into sight just now, it would tell wonderfully on the price of the sta. pie.
 Yes, make cotton bagging out of cotton, and let the state convicts make it. If the Texas cotton grower will sit down some day after dinner and allow himself just ten minutes to think, he may discover that he has a monopoly of his own when it comes 10 wrapping material, and, having pen itentiary labor to work it up, can show MT.

These remarks by Mrs. Carrie
Nation in q recent number of the
'Hatchet" are worth thinking
ABOUT:
women, try to simplify
your house duties by having as
few as possible, then you will
have more time for your home
duties. AS housekeeper you have
it in your power to give pleasure
and profit to the young men and
women. Every housekeeper
should feel it her duty to con-
tribute to these young people
some of her time. They are de-
pendent on you for their best
e4joyment. and young men and
women should be thrown IL
gatherings. Where shall they
gather? At balls, in the la.
ciyious whirl Of the dance?
Alas. for the consequences. At
the theater? Alas! for the
downward impulse given. No,
not there. Where? In your
homes. Open your door, your
poarches, your yards. Give the
old-fashiOned parties, have muSh
and milk or pumpkin pie or some
simple refreshments. But you
be on hand, or have some one
else who will direct the enter
tainment. Have songs, recita-
tations, debates or even blind
mans buff. If your house is
too small, have this at house
that is large enough. Have no
couples straying off into dark
places, no irregular conduct.
These young people need to be
properly educated how to en-
joy each others society. The
married woman is the one, and
only one who can direct. Will
you do this? Please do. We
are not feeding our lambs, they
are left to the wolves, bears and
vipers of the base balls, base
drives, base theaters and such.
No wonder so many are base. y

What is a Friend?

Someone has asked the ques
ton, What is a friend?"
1t is the fellow who will in
convenience himself for you. 1t
is the man who will sit by your
bedside when your frame has
been touched by disease. It is
the man who will come to you
when the clouds are dark and
when the muttering thunders OF
misfortune grOwl along the sky.
1t is the man who says. Don't
be discouraged; I'll see you out"
It is the not man who will do you
a kindness only when he feels
that he can get back pay for
services rendered.
Remember that all who write
their names in script in your
friendship album are not your
friends.
1t takes a real man to be your
friend. He must have marrow in
his bones and love in his heart.
No driveling coward is capable
of of friendship or love other
than that possessed in common
with the brute.
And young man, young Wo-
man take the advice of one who
knows, and when you find real
friend, stand by him Or her to
the ,end. Follow them Through
the fire and over the flame. De-
fend their good names and heed
not the vile tongue of the SLAM
derer when aimed at them.
You will meet but few of them
IN your journey through life,
but these few will more than
compensate you for the pain that
all the endless stream Of life
caused by it's vile suspicious and
and grewsome grlmaces as it
passed by on it's way to an end
less hell.-Ex.
