Value Of the Thumb.

Solomon says thumbs up" because
the thumb is said to be worth fully
one-third the entire value of the hand.
The different fingers are far from
having all the same value before the
eyes Of the law. Much the most Inn
portant among them is the thumb.
for without 1t the hand no longer is
a pincers, but merely claw, The
French court allows in damages 15
to 35 per cent. value for the right
and 10 to Is per cent. for the left
thumb. The Austrian schedule gives
from Is per cent for the left to 35
per cent. for the right. In Germany
20 to 2S per cent, and even as high
as 1913 per cent. has been awarded.
The percentage is based on 100 as tho
total value Of the hand, industriously
speaking, before the accident.

RAISING A FALSE ISSUE

Error always employs deception.
Nothing is more fatal to a false doc
trine than to have II clearly stated
and the defenders of false doctrine
admit this when they studlously mis-
tate the issuBl lphGSt. 1Dojris Globe
Democrat furnishes an illustration of
this. In an editorial entitled THE
New irresponsible Conflict" the Globe
Democrat takes Governor Glenn. Gov
Iernor Conner and Governor Swanson
to task for prosecuting the railroads
and declares that these governors are
assisting the doctrines that led to the
civil war. The charge is not true
and the Globe-Democrat confesses the
weakness of its position when 1t at
tempts to present false issue. Meth
er Governor Glenn, Governor Swanson
nor Governor Conner has disputed the
supremacy of the federal government
In the regulation of Interstate COM
merce. The question involved I'm
North Carolina and Virginia is. have
these states the right to regulate com
merce wholly, within their borders?
A federal Judge undertook at the
request of the railroads, to suspend
the state rate law and to release per-
sons arrested for violation of that
law The law had never been de-
cided unconstitutional or confiscatory.
but the judge ASSUMED that the
eXparte statement of the railroads was
correct and proceeded to restrain the
states. The governors decided TO test
the question, and the roads finally
decided to do what they ought to
nave done in the first place. name
~ comply with the law while they
contested its validity through the reg
ular channels.
Governor Conner, of Alabama is
testing another question. and this Is

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
But One OF the Mouruers for Great
Man Had Solace.


The great man lay dead. The news
papers rang with his praises and men
passed them from mouth to mouth; a
gloom hung over the community, and
the child, his friend, wept bitterly.
The busy man said, IL saw him on
the street not long ago, and he looked
Ill and downhearted. wish I'd crossed
over to speak to him, but was just
hurrying for my train. He was a good
friend of mine, and might have
cheered him up bit and told him
how we missed him everywhere. It's
too bad, too bad!" The thoughtless
man said, "I can never forgive my.
self. I knew he was sick for week,
but had this great meeting to ar
range for, and It just slipped my
mind. He stood by me nobly when
was in trouble years ago l can never
forgive myself" The child pressed a
tear-stained face against the window.
why did you want so much to take
him that flower last Sunday?" asked
her mother. Because | loved him."
said the child, simply. She was watch.

which men had sent, as they were
carried into the church. 20, mother,
see how beautiful they arel / wish
could go with you to the church; but

don't mind so much, you see; for I've
given him my flower. He had that to
