JUDGE CARRIERS REMEDY.

Judge Carter, of the Criminal Court
OF Record in this city, has sent dis
may into the ranks of the blind
tiger" criminals and adopted the only
sure means of destroying the in
famous business in Suwannee county
by imposing the penalty of imprison-
ment for one year for each OffenSe,
without the option of paying a fine
In doing this. Judge Carter has given
renewed proof of his high fitness for
the office he holds and his just ap-
probation of his solemn and respon-
Sible trust, and he may be sure that
he has the moral support of all the
good people of this city and county
whose vital interests he is subserving
in thus dealing with a crime than is
a dreadful menace to all our homes.
Blind tigers" should be hunted
down like veritable wild beasts who
destroy human life. They are even
more dangerous, and when once they
are caught the extreme penalty of the
law should be imposed upon them.
To do less is to make the law fail in
it's purpose and to refuse to society,
to law abiding people, to helpless
women and children. the protection
which that law was enacted to give
them.
There may be and frequently are
circumstances in some
forms of crime. Men may break the
law in the heat OF passion or under
the temptation of dire poverty or
keen physical distress. but no decent
or intelligent charity can find excuse
for the sneaking. sinister. cold-blOOd-
ed criminal who, from the basest
motives, deliberately goes
about his foul work Of spreading
ruin, shame and disgrace, and pro-
noting crime among men and boys,
whites and negroes. by the unlawful
traffic in intoxicating liquor. To put
money in his purse he stealthily ped
dies the vile stuff that makes mad
men. Iuu-derers and rape fends. that
our women and children.
and that fills the community with
the constant sense Of insecurity thac
comes from the knowledge that these
crazed victims of the tiger are lurking
around us with passions infamei,
reason gone and ready for any crime.
And this Internal traffic is the more
ineXcusabIe because il is a deliberate
defiance to the expressed will OF the
people OF Suwannee county at the
polls, in the manner prescribed by
law, on this very issue. With full
knowledge of the evils OF the liquor
traffic they voted it out, and not only

PEACE At LAST
IN Vanderbilt
HOUSEHOLDS

Newport, Sept. 1-For the first tim(
since the death of their father. eight years
ago. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt was a
guest at the home of his brother. Cor
nelius yesterday.
In addition to this. Mrs. Vanderbilt. the
elder. also was a guest at luncheon, and
for the first time, met her daughter-in-law
socially
1T Is said Newport tifat-tifers
Is a complete reconciliation of the Vander-
bilts. Had the recognition OF the daugh-
ter-in-law come eight years ago. Cornelius
Vanderbilt and not Alfred Gwynne. his
younger brother, would today be the head
of the Vanderbilt family
The reconciliation OF the two brothers
was brought about at the dinner at
the Breakers and the mission of peace
on the part OF the mother to her eldest
sons wife was occasloned by the firm re-
fusal OF the latter to attend that dinner.
1t was the the first time she ever had
been invited to cross the threshold OF the
Breakers.
Her name has been given out as one
of the invited guests. but the woman who
had been ignored as thoroughly as pos
sible since the day she became the wife
or Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr, made IL very
evident to all Newport that IL there was
to be any reconciliation, Mrs. Vanderbilt
must come to her.
Following the dinner given in honor of
Count Szechenyi and Miss Gladys there
was little gathering of the Vanderbilts-
I'VE should all get together somewhere
tomorrow for luncheon" Mrs. Vandervilt
is reported TO have said.
Cornelius Vanderbilt suggested his home.
His mother looked at him. On all sides
Ii had been remarked quietly that Cor-
nehus wife was not present.
IF Grace will not some to my house I
will not go to hers" the mother said.
All Newport-al1 that is society. and tha
large section that is not-is talking over
the fact that Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
and his brother Cornelius are reconciled
and that their mother has broken bread
at the table OF Cornelius over which his
wife presided. To society II means the
triumph OF young Mrs. Cornelius. 1t
means the social recognition which the
mother refused when as Grace Wilson she
was led 10 the altar by her son despite
the opposition OF his parents and the
social triumph of the girl for whom he
sacrificed an Inheritance Of $50,00o.oOo.

SCIENTISTS
MAY CALL N
MEDICAL AID

Philadelphia, Oct. 14.-The fact that
Christian Scientists are now permitted to
call in medical aid under certain condi-
tions is causing much discussion here.
IL appears that such medical assistance
is not confined to cases of contagfon but
may extend TO surgical and accident
cases.
ates unde the direction OF a doctor, In
cases of extreme pain, Is the subject OF a
great deal OF talk. as in several cases
such relief has been refused by Christian
Scientists who were victims of accidents
in puoic places.
Physicians, religious circles and the
followers of Mrs Eddy are taking the
most prominent part i'm the general dis
cussion, but the public is looking on with
the KeenoSt interest.
The admission that the former prac-
tees of the Eddy sect have been changed
was made by Albert r.. Miller. spokes-
man for TIE Christian Scientists in this
city. in discussing the conviction OF Mr.
and Mrs. Edwin vi. Watson OF Mount
Holly. n. j.. on charge OF manslaugh-
ter, following the Death of a minor child

down. Christian Scientists acknowledge
the futility OF their methods:
In the Lresence of possible contagion.
In cases where surgery is necessary:
In cases Of accident.
In cases OF extreme pain.
In the Watson case there was a grave
danger that the disease was contagious.
Christian Scientists commend the action
OF Mrs. Ida NJ. Straub. the healer OF this
city. who advised that science" treat
ment he abandoned. the autopsy having
developed that the child was a victim OF
cerebro-splnal meningitis. a highly con-
tagious disease.
Christian Scientists are not diagnosti-
clans" said Mr.. Miller, i'm defence OF

not involve specific knowledge of the

a recognition on the part Of the Christian
Scientists OF the rights OF the public

such instances.
Christian Scientists are not fanatics.
