THE LEAVENWORTH SHOOTING.

The shooting of an elderly and in
offensive men in a Leavenworth sa-
loon has enraged the justice loving
people of that town. They are right
fully aroused, and demand that the
proper measures of punishment be
melted out to the guilty man.
The crime presents no novel phase.
Similar outrages are committed,
under varying circumstances,
throughout the United States every
year. Law abiding citizens are made
to suffer from the abandoned car
ousals of irresponsible drunkards.
And then the guilty fall back upon
the excuse that they were drunk,
and didn't know what they were do
ing 1t generally developed that
crimes committed during drunken
sprees were conceived or premeditat-
ed during sober moments, the actors
requiring measure of fire water
to get their nerve up"
The facts in the Leavenworth case
will come out at the trial
July next the jury sits here under
Judge Steiner. Leavenworth citi-
zens may be assured that justice will
be melted out, accordingly as the
facts brought out at the trial show
the man now in Jail to be guilty or
innocent.

Changed His Mind.

A man went to a boxing instructor
and asked him how much he would
charge him for twenty-five lessons.
The instructor told him his terms. and
the lessons commenced. After two les
sons the pupil, who was somewhat the
worse for wear, remarked to the pro-
fessor: You see, / wanted to take
enough lessons SO that l could learn
enough about the manly art to lick Il
man. I've changed my mind now. l
guess l will send the fellow down to
take the rest of the lessons"

WANTS REFUSE CANS.

Here's one Citizens idea for keep
ing the streets free from papers,
cigar stubs and other refuse:
Let some of the Women's Clubs
provide receptacles at street corners,
labelled KEEP WENATCHEE
CLEAN" Slightly cans, of proper di-
mansions and painted dark green,
are suggested A refuse can of this
type is in use in many eastern cities,
and their installation has met with
general success. Their use here
would help solve the rubbish ques-
ton. in so far as the disposition of
trash thrown into the streets is con-
cerned.

OVER PRODUCTION.

To an eastern man, or one who
has not studied the situation, when
we tell them of the large number of
acres that are continually being
planted to fruit, they are made to
fear that over production will natur-
ally be the result. Here, where we
are acquainted with the situation.
this gives US no concern. Good fruit
has always brought good prices.

the small area that good fruit (such
as we grow here in central Washing

trial for being an oftcial Of a labor

trial for being an official of labor
union. He is not on trial in any
representative character whatever.
He is on trial, simply as citizen,
for helping to murder another citi-
zen. That is all.
True, the prosecution charges that
the murder of Steunenburg was
simply an incident in murderous
and widespread conspiracy the re-
suit of which was the series of mon
strous deeds which have marked the
presence of the Western Federation
of Miners in the mining camps of the
mountain states. Yet, while the trial
may fix the responsibility for this
series. of crimes, the acquittal,
if acquittal there be, or conviction,
if conviction there be, will concern
simply and solely the murder of
Frank Steunenberg.
In word, the case is one of JUS
tice between man and man. Upon the
ability to do justice, without fear or
favor, in accordance with the law
and the evidence, the whole fabric
of civilization rests.
Therefore no right thinking man
can wish for anything in the Hay
wood trial, except exact and even
handed Justice. Only by doing such
justice, by protecting innocence and
Furnishing guilt, can civilization
maintain itself. -Inter-Ocean.

emissaries of the government. But the
Jews survived this persecution as many
another before it, and the peot still per-

The Jewish outlook., 1907-08-23

In Biblical times it was, generally
speaking, the custom Of all Orlentals,
as it is today, to wear boards, and the
prohibition Of shaving, therefore, was
not peculiar to the Jews. On the Egyp-
tan and Assyrian monuments western
Semites are invariably depicted with
round full boards. On the later Baby
lonian and Assyrian monuments the no
bles of the respective empires appear
with long boards Hair was also culti
waited on the upper lip. The wandering
Semites wore pointed boards. The Egyp-
tians were distinguished from the Sc
mites in this respect. With them shaw
ing, instead of a long beard, was a sign
of nobility, and this view explains the
references to shaving in the story of
Joseph 1t was customary at times for
the Egyptians to retain small tuft
under the chin, but this was with some
removable, to be replaced on state occa-
sions The Hittites and the Elamitc
races were also accustomed to shave.
With these views so strongly held by
the Israelites as to become religious pre-
cepts, it can be understood that any mu-
tilation of the beard was considered &
sign of shame. With mourners, however,
Disagreement by plucking out the beard
was accepted as sacrifice. The custom
so deeply implanted among the Israelites
remained an inveterate habit among the
Jews in later times. Intercourse with
the Greeks and Romans, instead OF
weakening the practice, seems rather to
have strengthened it by reaction against
the customs Of the heather. The exposi
tors of the law became early busted with
the Interpretation Of the ordinances re-
lating to hirsute adornment. The pro-
hibitions were explained as relating to
the sidelocks (the peot) and the beard.
According to some authorities the for
mer were not even to be clipped. The
beard, however, was allowed to be trim
med and even cut, so long as a razor was
not used completely to remove it.

sion by permitting Jews who came ire
quently in contact with government OF
fcials to conform in respect OF their
hair to the general practice OF the land
This decision, however, was not lnani-
nous. and Jews who could not furnish
the required excuse were strictly forbid
den to have any recourse to the razor.
In the Midled Ages Jews seem gen
erally to have followed the customs OF
the respective countries in which they
lived. Among the Mohammedans they
wore long boards; in western countries
clipping was widely resorted to. So close
was the clipping that to the casual OBJ
server the result might often be taken
for that of shaving, and for this reason
one school of German rabbis attempted
to prohibit any tampering with the
beard
The rise of the Cabbalists was accom-
panied by great reaction. So far from
permitting cutting or clipping, they
taught that any shortening OF the beard
was sin, and it is related OF their
great teacher, Isaac Luria, that he kept
his hands from his beard lest the contact
should cause any hairs to drop from It,
In Poland and the Slavonic countries
generally the unrestrained growth OF
boards became gradually the custom.
Curiously enough in Italy, even among
the Cabbalists, shaving became the gen
cral practice, it being argued that the
prohibition only related to the Holy
Land elsewhere shaving should be prac'
ticed rather than neglected. This diff
ference of practice led to a curious con-
troversy in 1920 between some Italian
Jews in Turkey and the local rabblnlcai
authorities. The former endeavored to
carry their native practice OF shaving
with them, while the latter argued that
the rule Of the land must be obeyed.
Toward the close Of the seventeenth
century the practive arose among the
Jews of Germany and Italy Of conforms
ing to the customs Of the land, and at the
same time Of avoiding all offense to rab-
binical teaching. They succeeded IN re-
moving their boards without the aid OF
razors. Pumice stone, or chemical
agent-a depilatory used as sub
stitute. and was found successful in
rendering the face as smooth as any
razor would have done. Another method
of superfuous hair removal, which, how
ever. we should hardly recommend, IS
the employment Of the Zwicker or hair
eradicator, whose function it was to up
root the hairs by means of a species OF
tweezers. The recognized exponents OF
Talmudic law did not accept these prac-
tees without protest, but their objec
tions had little effect In south of Eu-
rope the most orthodox rabbis gradually

The Old Penitentiary Ghost.

We understand that the oppo-
nents Of Mr.. J. NJ. Parhcman, who
is now canvassing for the Legislative
seat as the result of a tie vote in the
recent primary, are charging him
with many things IN connection
with the former penitentiary man
agement The legislative investi-
CATION of the penitentiary affairs of
1902, involving his management as
Warden, resulted in his vindication.
and the committee charged with the
investigation made the following re-
port to the House of Representa-
tives, which is a matter of record at
the State capitol:
Your committee deems it proper
to declare that in its former report
it no where charged, or intended to
have charged, that any officer or
employer of the board of control
had diverted or misappropriated
any funds belonging to the State;
and it now gives us pleasure to
further report that our continued
investigation has no where discover
ed any such misrepresentation, or
any failure to promptly and fully
account for all said moneys.
1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that everybody ever connected
with the penitentiary has been ac-
cused of wrong doing, and some
body must always be found for a
scape- goat. In this instance it was
Warden Parchman, and he was held
responsible for the errors and lapses
of the board of control or other
higher higher authority until the
committe above referred to exon
GRATED him from the charges. Mr..
Parchman made the best Warden
the penitentiary has ever had; de-
veloped the property to a greater
extent and turned in more revenue
from that source than any Warden
preceding him and probably more
than his successor who entered the
service with this accrued enhance
ment and development but whose
figures and reports we have not at
hand. It is high time to permit
this old penitentiary ghost to vanish
away and turn our attention TO
living affairs that pertain to the
present age.

The Issue Still in Doubt.

The contest between Congressman
Williams and Governor Nardaman
for the United States Senate at last
reports was still in doubt, the Off
cial count being necessary to de-
cision. The State Executive Com
mittee assembled at jackson yester-
day for that purpose, but could
not conclude its labors on so mo-
mentous d question in single day
and may be in session several days.
The result Of the election was a
surprise in several respects TO many
Of the old campaigners and all the
novices. More than heretofore the
voters quietly persisted in forming
their own opinions and voting ac-
cordingly, hence the former meth
DDS Of calculation miscarried to the
extent that even ueighbors were not
sure Of the outcome Of their nearest
boxes until the count was an
nounced I'm the Senatorial contest
it was conceded that tine town and
city vote would 60 to Mr. Williams,
which proved to be- about correct,
and the early returns, coming prin-
cipally from those quarters, gave
the Congressman lead Of about
10000, but later returns from the
rural districts swelled the Nardaman
column until his opponents lead
had dwindled ON Thursday to some
thing less than 900, if indeed, the
State Committee does not find that
the majority goes To the Governor.
In the race for the nomination
for Governor the greatest surprise
came in the failure of Hon. Chas.
Scott to land in the second
primary. lie was conceded by all
to be a popular and favorite candi-
date and the guesses universally
were as to who would be his mate
in the ruu-off. Here again the in
dependence of the voter i'll this cam
paign asserted itself without sufIi-
cient obtrusion to make itself known,
and this able and splendid gentle
man was defeated in the hour Of
apparent victory Mr. Scott has
intimated that a contest win be en-
tered into, a matter which may be
settled, with others, as a result Of
the State Committee session.
BY the face of the returns SO far,
the gubernatorial contest is between
Messrs. Noel and Brewer for the
second primary, Mr. Noel pressing
his conservative theories, while Mr..
Brewer drives away with the ag-
gressive policy that has character
lied his campaign, which viii al
most surely land him i'm the Exec
utive chair. Those immoral and
sporty enough to lay election wagers.
viii do well to avoid placing them
against Mr.. Brewer.

ernor are meagre, and while it isl

second primary viii probably be be-
tween TN. Henry and WI. Miller. |
For Railroad Commissioner in
this district, the contest is between

off is between Mp. Bishop and Lee
