Judge Lands has once more attract
ed the attention OF the world by the
amount. OF the fine imposed in a case
which was brought before him.
1t, of course, has not been forgotten
that Juuge Ke2nesaW Mountain Lam
dis-named for the battle fought on
and around the well known neighbor-
ing peak, in sight of the Gambler
buildings the man who imposed
fine of twenty-nine million dollars in
the case against the Standard Oil
Company, charged with rebating. OF
course that fine has not been paid yet,
and the chances are that the Big Oc-
topus will be able to earn it before
the amount is forthcoming. but it has
at least served to direct the attention
Of the world to Judge Lands.
Now comes another case, and rath-
er than keep the expectant reader in
suspense we will say once for all that
the distinguishing feature of this fine
was its smallness.
1t was just one cent.
A laborer who had been trying for
some time in vain to collect a debt Of
two dollars due him from a certain
doctor, finally lost his temper and
wrote the doctor a dun" on a postal
card which fairly made the cardboard
curl. 1t was about the hottest thing
ever crowded on a postal card since
the good old days before picture post
cards came into fashion.
OF course it was against the law.
Such sentiments expressed on a pos
tai card are liable to shock the feel
ings Of the postmaster.
But the laboring man, who had fin
ished his job, and wanted his money
and had not dallied very much over
the revised statutes, did not know
this.
The doctor had him hauled into
court The case was clearly made
out, and then the judge tantalizingly
began with the statement that the
maximum fine in such cases was five
years in he penitentiary. The poor
creditor with the card-writing prOpen-
sity fairly trembled in the dock.
Then the judge, who evidently felt
that as a matter of equity. that two
dollar debt should have been paid long
before, lowered his voice and imposed
q penalty of one cent, and remarked
that the prisoner need not pay the
! costs.
Whether the creditor also got his
two dollars is not stated.
At any rate Judge Lands now has
the distinction of having run the ga
NUT He has imposed fines all the
way from one cent to twenty-nine
million dollars.

QUOTING scRIPTuRE

The New York World has published.
a phamphlet against William P. Bry'
an. and heads its list of reasons why
Mr.. Bryan should lay down the party
leadership with this quotation from
scriptures:
And everyone that was in distress,
and everyone that was in debt, and
every one that was discontinued
gathered themselves unto him; and
ne became a captain over them; and
there were him about four hundred
mem. Samuel. XIII, 2.
The parsonage mentioned in the
quotation is, as everyone knows, Dav-
id. the son of Jesse, and just why the
New York World should hold him up
as a warning TO Mr.. Bryan is past COM
pr2hensiOn. Indeed the prophets of
Organism could find nothing from Gov
er to cover Of the Good Book that so
aptIy fits Mr. BTyan's case, nothing in
the wide range of literature or history,
sacred or profane that forms a more
striking parallel or, what is more, JUS
titles more sanguine hope of Mr.. Bry-
ans ultimate triumph.
There are a good many people who
are in distress, millions who are in
debt land more going broke every
day., millions who are in discontinued
under trust rule and they have indeed
gathered themselves unto William J.
Bryan. and he has become a captain
over them.
But the World should have pursued
the subject further, and have recount
ed what the captain and his four huns
dred did. It's all in the Book Of Sam
uel, too. Like Bryan touring the
world and returning welcomed as no
American had been welcomed, David
returned from his wanderfnEs, and
here is what he and his four hundred
did:
And David smote them from the
twilight even unto the evening of the
next day. Samuel XXX, II.
And David recovered all that the
Amalekites carried away. Samuel
xxx, IS
And David took all the focks and
the herds which they drave before
those other cattle. and said. This is
David's spoil-I Samuel XXX. 20.
In the second book of Samuel, chap
ter H., verse +, we read:
And the men of Judah came and
they appointed David king over the
house of Judah.
And again in chapter Ill, first
verse:
Now there was long war between
the house of Saul and the house of Da-
vid; but David waxed stronger and
stronger and the house of Saul waxed
weaker and weaker.
Next we read:
Then came all the tribes of Israel
to David unto Hebron, and spake, say,
ing. behold, we are thy bone and thy
| HeSn.-N. L.
And finally in chapter 8, verse Is:
And David reigned over all Israel:
and David executed judgment and jus
ttce unto all his people.
BY all means let us liken Bryan to
David Their histories are so nearly
similar that the last verse we quoted
rings like a prophesy, in whose full
fllment the American people will bear
their part next November.
All that is necessary to carry out
he smile is to let the World play the
role Of Saul, and no witch of Endor is
needed to foretell the result of th5
coming battle.-Fort Wayne Qnd.)

The PRINTER A DEAD EASY
MARK

Everybody likes to take a shot at
the printer, He is dead easy mark
The gC1s ..nent at Washington has 4
great printing establishment, and is
in competition with every printing Of
fee in the country. 1t employs 200
printers in one building alone. 1t
prints envelopes for nearly every bus
mess firm in the United States, AMI
as it has to pay no freight, il can. Of
course, do the printing cheaper than
the average newspaper.
The United States government does
not sell dry goods, nor groceries nor
peTfumery, nor wines, nor liquors, nor
beer, nor tobacco, nor iowelry. 1t Just
enters into competition with legiti
mate printing houses.
And then, too. our average business
men have contracted the habit Of
knocking" the printer. If they van,
a suit of clothes, or a set OF furniture.
or ever so much hardware, they do
not thinE Gtout interviewing all me

done he interviews every local print
ing Office ana sometimes foreign ones
besides, for sealed bids.
This habit is becoming so marked
throughout the country that the last

It says the public has formed the
habit of knocking" the printer to
such an extent that the printers them
selves are beginning to cut each 9th

As long ago as I can remember nv

A. Howell, OF Fowelrs American

Of February 3rd our baby was taken

day was worse and the following night
his condition was desperate. He could
not lie down, and it was necessary to
have him in the arms every moment.
Even then his breathing was difficult.
| did not think he would live until

Cough Remedy, which we gave. and
it afforded prompt relief, and now.

You should always remember that
most cough and cold cures are consti-
pating. Yet the most important thing
to do when you have a cold is to move
the bowels. You cannot promptly cure
a cold until you do this. Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup stops the cough
by allaying inflammation Of the throat
and lungs, and II drives the cold from
the system by gently moving the
bowels. Children like It, for It tastes
nearly as good as maple sugar Sold

GOOD COUGH MEDICINE FOR
CHILDREN.

The season for coughs and colds is

not be used to protect the children. A
child Is much more likely to contract

cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's

many mothers. and few of those who
have tried IL are willing TO use any
other. Mrs. +. +. Starcher, Of Ripley.

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
