VOTE BUYING IN NEW YORK. As Large Purchasable Number in Coun-
 try or City.

No one of sense seriously disputes
 the statement that at every election a
 great many votes are bought and paid
 for by both the great political parties.
 In passing 1t is worth mentioning that the result would be the same and
 money saved if neither party paid a dollar in this way. It Is sort of an
 old-fashioned faIlacy that most of the
 corruption of this sort exists in cities,
 and the theory is that the larger the
 city the larger the number of puc-
 chasable voters. It is undeniabIe, of
 course, that there are In the city
 thousands and in the great cities tens
 Of thousands who sell their votes ev-
 cry chance they get, and would sell
 them three or four times a day if the
 opportunity offered and they were req
 sonably sure to escape detection. It is
 great big mistake however, to sup
 pose that this kind of corruption is
 confined to the cities or even to the
 large Villages, The reverse is the fact.
 If there were any way of absolutely
 proving it, it Is respectfully submit ted that the percentage of voters whose support could be bought on cleo ton day is practically as large in the country as 1t Is in the city. Crooked ness of this sort is something which is not at all dependent upon location.
 The practical politicians right here in central New York could tell you, if they would, that the amount of money sent to the towns is entirely propor donate with that sent to the wards. There is about so much money to so many hundred voters, and no special distinction is made which would indi- cate that there is any particular sec ton beyond suspicion. A case recent " In court gives some idea of what is doing in Clinton county and in the lit- tie city of Plattsburg. One affidavit spoke of a place called Beekmantown, which has 125 democrats and 15O re- publicans and 275 "floaters,o the de- ponent explaining that by "floaters" he means voters who habitually sell their vote. It will be difficult anywhere to get larger percentage than this. A lawyer swears that in his ,ity the republicans bought at least | .5O votes in one election district last | all. He says that in the whole city here are 1000 "floaters' out of total l vote of 2,500, and that in the county | here are 400O 'floaters" out of a to- al of 12,000 votes. Some prominent | Clinton county republicans holding ligh office are very much disturbed 'ver the prospect of being implicated | p this prosecution, and the investiga- ion, if thorough, is sure to be decid- dly interesting. Everybody knows hat votes are bought, but this case, f 1t comes to trial. will help impress he fact that they are bought in the ountry just as much as in the city, lew York Press

THE FRENCH SERIOUS PEOPLE. Old School Volatile Set Cannot Under-
 stand Change.

At the present time, however, the
 most instantly obvious trait of their
 national character is far from such as
 prejudice might have led you to ex-
 pect. Whatever else the French have
 been, they have managed, throughout
 the past, so to present themselves to
 foreign eyes that foreign tradition is
 everywhere agreed in expecting them
 to be at least volatile and gay, if not
 completely frivolous In their general
 manner and address. So far is this
 from the case now that I can hardly
 believe any people anywhere to seem more deeply, more impressively, more startlingly serious than the French
 seem both in formal intercourse and still more when you come to know
 them. This phase of their nature is perhaps more evident among rather young people than among people old
 enough to remember other days than these on which we are fallen. One of my most agreeable talks in France was with an elderly gentleman in whom the solelnnity of the present time had not quite overcome the more gay traditions of social and conversa- tlonal habit which had prevailed in his youth. With q deep sense of the of the situation he express ed in epigrammatically happy phrase his despairing wonder as to what could become of a nation which pass- ing into the hands of a generation so in earnest as the dutiful sons who were then gathered to meet me at his table. So far as I could their respectful reception of his melancholy pleasantly was in some degree complicated by regretful conviction that it was deplorably de- lcient in seriousness
 Yet, however deep this seriousness of temper now so evident among the { younger French, it is not bit prig- glsh; it is as far as possible from the 'mug religiosity which associates It. | self with our conception of serious minded youths in England or Ameri- 'an. It is in no wise incompatible with courage and courtesy as profound tnd as punctilious as any which ever Illustrated the traditions of elder Trance. It involves, however, degree if self-control which must surely sur 'rise stranger prepared by preju- lice to find French behavior gener- lily characterized by impulsive vola- ility.-Prof. Barrett Wendell in Scrib- ler's.

Something doing every minute for seven days Wednesday, July S1, is to be New England Day" dedicat- ed to the people and governors of the New England states.
 Mayor Studley has received the fol- lowing letter from Mayor Fitzgerald, which explains itself and shows that his honor is on to his self imposed job.

DID NOT VIOLATE THE SPIRIT OF SUNDAY LAW Courts Decision in the Case of the Middletown
 Druggist. FULL TEXT OF OPINION. Henry Woodward, Who Sold Cigars Is Acquitted
 of Charge.
FULL TEXT OF OPINION.

In the Middletown city court Tues
 day, Judge Pearne handed down his decision in the case of Druggist Hen ry Woodward charged with violating the Sunday observance in the sale of cigars on the Sabbath. A long opin- ion is given with the decision acquit- ting the accused and owing to the in terest in the case throughout the state 1t is here given in full as follows
 Text of the Decision.
 The complaint alleges that on May 19, MT. Woodward, did secular busi- ness and labor, other than works of necessity and mercy, and did keep open shop, and did expose property for sale, between twelve o'clock Satur- day night, May IS, and twelve o'clock Sunday night, May 19."
 The action Is brought upon the sta- tute (Sec. 1869 c. s.), which reads: Every person who shall do any secu- lar business or labor, except works of necessity or mercy, or keep open any OAAOHy Wol CliOQpCy UT ouJ uldnuldGluI~ ing or mechanical establishment, or expose any property for sale, or en- gage In any sport between twelve o'clock Saturday night and twelve o'clock Sunday night shal be fined not more than fifty dollars" The evid- ence is that the shop alleged to have been open is drug store, with a cigar case on one side: that it was open Sunday morning, and Sunday evening after six o'clock, that the proprietor and two clerks were there; that two or more persons were seen standing near the cigar case to whom cigars were passed; that MT Woodward admitted to the chief-of-police that he was con ducting his store as he had for fifty years-and this evidence was not con- tradicted.
 The statute, literally read, means, that between twelve o'clock Saturday night and twelve o'clock Sunday night, a fine shall be imposed upon every per son who engages in any sport, or ex- poses any property for sale, or keeps open any shop, warehouse, or any manufacturing or mechanical estab- lishment, or who does any secular business or labor except works of ne- cessity or mercy. Every act included in either of the several specific classes enumerated Is prohibited absolutely with the exception of secular business and labor and this allows works of ne- cessity or mercy
 The supreme court has never speci- fically passed upon any case of a criminal nature brought under this statute, although 1t has existed practi- cally since prior to 1715 And the de- cisions of courts of last resort in other states having similar statutes are so much at Variance as to be of little as- sistance In reaching a conclusion. | However, there are scattered through l the reports of our supreme court cer- tain opinions upon the construction of analogous penal statutes and upon this statute, when a civil matter has been involved, with the aid of which and | the generally accepted rules of inter- pretation, the application of the statute to this particular case must be de- termined.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-06-08
Authorities Cited.

In the case of Meyers vs. State i Conn, 505 (1S16) in which a Judgment of guilty rendered by the county court under the statute prohibiting Sunday travel was unanimously reversed. Judge Gould said: "In expounding penal statutes 1t is an established rule that the construction must be strict as against the defendant, but liberal in his favor. Recourse may therefore he had to the spirit, or reason, of the law. Tor the purpose of exempting from it's operation one who is within the letter Of 1t; but this, generally speaking. cannot be done, in order to bring within the penalty, one, who is not within the letter. Hence it results as a general proposition, to which there have been but very few exceptions. that no man can be subjected to the penalty of statute, unless he is with in both the letter and spirit of it."
 Tn the case of Montague ys. Rich ardson, "A Conn.,, S45 (1S56) involving the exemption of household furniture from legal process, the qualifying words being necessary for support ing life" Judge Storrs said The word (necessary) was obviously used Tn a larger sense; it was intended to embrace those things which are re- quisite in order to enable the debtor not merely to live, but to live in a con Venient and comfortable manner"
 And in Bryan vs. Town of Branford, 50 Conn, 253 (1SS2) Judge Loomis, cit ing the last case, said: And where persons holding certain relations to others are liable for necessaries, the term is not restricted to what is re- quisite for sustenance, but often in- cludes much more, depending on the circumstances, situation, and social po- sition of the parties" Harris vs. Dale, 5 Bush, 161. So statutes excepting works of necessity from prohibition of labor on Sunday are not construed as confning the exception to acts of absolute physical necessity, Worries vs. the State, S1 Ind, 1891, Flagg vs. Millbury, Cush., 24S.
 In Horton and wife vs. Norwalk Tramway company, Q895) an action for damages for injury resulting from de- fendant's negligence, defended upon the ground that plaintiff was riding for pleasure on Sunday, Judge Baldwin af- ter reviewing the course of legislation said; Tn view of this course of legis- lation, during the last twenty years, on the subject of the observance of Sunday, it is plain that the prohibitions of secular business and engaging in recreation contained in general stat utes, Sec. 1569 Gf2ev. 1888 now Sec 1369), must be read with reference to the en- vironment on which they appeared in the revisions of 1875. The act of 1882 (striking out the word 'travel) was obviously intended to make travelling

LETTER TO 0. o. FOSTER
fredericksburg Va.

Dear Sir: The wear Of paint goes by
gallons; the ss-gallons paint wears
longest. The reason, of course, IS its
strength. Ii takes less gallons, because
it is strong. 1t is all paint and the
strongest paint.
There Is best paint among all-paint
paints. No two are alike, of course; no
two cover alike or wear alike. One il
thin, another IS thick; one has too much
lead, another too much zinc. another il
right. The right is Devoe, so far as Is
yet known. Perhaps somebody-else will
find-out better paint than Deyoe; then
Devoe will become more-gallons paint.
q costlier paint, weaker paint a less
durable paint, a less economical paint. a
timid paint.
Bigger changes than that have come
over the world. Devoe has the lead:
why shouldn't we lose il to somebody-
else2
