Bringing The Case Home,

Some months back Judge Loving shot to
death young Estes. The killing happened
in Virginia. The cause of the shooting was
the story told by Loving's daughter that
she was given drugged whiskey and assault
ed by Estes while buggy riding with the
latter on Sunday evening. The truth or
falsity of the story was not considered in
the trial. The influence the story had upon
Loving's mind to produce responsibility
was the only question for the jury to deter
mine. Last Saturday after trial of several
days Loving was acquitted, and the Virginia
press has expressed much dissatisfaction
with the verdict. Judge Barksdale presided
at the trial. The Richmond Neaos Leader
contained the following criticism OF the &C
quittal:
Suppose some man in Virginia with a
murderous heart had grudge against Judge
Barksdale, who presided at the Loving trial
AS We understand the law at present in Vir-
ginia, the man could walk into the court
room at Houston, empty two loads of buck
shot into Judge Barksdale's body and when
arrested could have one Of his woman rela-
tives to swear that she told him that she had
been grossly insulted or wronged by the
Judge. 1t would make no difference that
Judge Barksdale's whole life and character
contradicted the possibility of his commit
ting such an offense. His friends might
have evidence at hand to show that he was
thousand miles away when the alleged
wrong was done. They would not be al.
lowed to offer the evidence The case would
go to the jury as that of an injured relative
protecting the honor and avenging the
wrongs OF a woman OF his family. There
would DO no possibility OF vindication for
the dead man.
"The practical, concrete fact OF the pres.
ent is that with the law as 1t stands life is
unsafe, the law against murder is almost
nullifled and the State Is In the ignominious
position of being unable to protect her own
citizens The practical thing to do Is to cor
rect the law at the earliest possible moment.
Some time ago we urged that the 'unwritten
law should be written on the statutes with
the conditions which shall justify an appeal
to 1t clearly set forth. Many conservative
and thoughtful people In the State regard
this as radical and dangerous proposition.
However that may be- certainly we should
have some provision which will make the
taking of a human life in any circumstances
rather more of serious matter than the shoot
ing of vagrant dog"

Soup Must GO.--Dr. Osler in directing
patient for the Improvement of bis health,
after the latter had told him what eatables
were consumed In the daily diet, said;
"Stop right there" interrupted Dr. Osler.
"Soup must go. There is q popular fallacy
that soup Ia nourishing. That is mistake.
1t ia one of the most harmful things one can
eat. 1t is worse than lobster. OF course,
there are times wher a simple beef or nut.
ton broth is not TO be condemned. But as
rule soup is positively dangerous. 1t d.
lutes the gastric juices and 1t ferments too
rapidly to permit 1t to be easily digested.
1t is the greatest cause Of dyspepsia and
nervous disorders. Vegetable soup should
be thrown into the garbage pail, where II
belongs, instead Of being poured into deli
cate stomach. Half the nervous wrecks
among society folk who live well are caused
by eating soup"
The patient observed the advIce.and grew
strong and hardy.

County Tax Rate.

The County Commissioners last Saturday
signed the levy for the year, the rate being
fixed at 80 cents on the 800.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1907-07-05

cents was imposed in the past. Rockville
and Bethesda districts continue to pay a
two cents pike tax In addition to the 30
cents.
1t is true that the taxable basis was in-
creased about $550000, but owing to the
increase in the maintenance of insane pau
pers and the fixed rate Of twenty five cents
school tax and the commissions of the asses
sors the increase in the basis did not justify
a further reduction of the rate. The pro-
perty affected by the recent decision OF the
Court of Appeals was not included In the
present levy as the State Tax Commissioner
has not made his return.
The State rate will be 10 cents on the
800, being II cents lower than that of last
year.

ment and OutrageS committed by King
Leopold's agents have placed the Con-
go Free State in the forefront OF Euro
pean affairs. 1t is interesting to know
something about the size OF this coun-
try, and how its government was es-
tablishcd. The Congo Free State con-
sists of about 100000 square miles, and
is one of the most fertile and richest
parts OF Africa.
When this great country was first
opened up by the explorers, King Leo
pold started the International African
Association He was president OF this
association, and an American was vice
president. 1t had no international
founding, and except for its avowal OF
humanitarian purposes, it was pratt
cal association. In 1884 the United
States Government recognized their
flag as the flag OF friendly govern
ment This action was followed for
the next year by the establishing OF the
independent state OF the Congo, with
Leopold as its sovereign. The King,
shortly after this, began to develop his
iniquitous system OF government,
which has been the cause OF all the
outragcs that have startled Europe.
Briefly, this system is as follows
King Leopold, as absolute sovereign,
rules through governor general. He,
in turn, is represented in various dis
triCtS by white men called agents.
These men have to collect the taxes.
To do this in the large territories OF
the interior they in turn have to dele
gate their authority to savage native
soldiers, who are armed and placed

These are only some examples of
the kind OF thing that is almost uni
versal in the Congo Free State. Fin
ally the situation became so bad in Jan
uary, 1000, .hity-twO missionaries gath
cred in conference, sent out an appeal,
which closed in the following words:
I'VE have no object in view but that
OF the interests OF humanity, and the

again our solemn protest against the
terrible state OF affairs still existing in
the Congo State, and we appeal in the
name Of justice, liberty and humanity
to those who value these blessings to
help in every lawful way to secure them
for all the Congo peoples"
The significance OF this appeal lies
in the fact that it is the first time
