DOES 1T PAY.

Discussing the question. Does it
| pay to take human life" Ex-Governor
James X. Nardaman, editor of the
Jackson Issue, says:
NO, it does not pay, measured by
and standard of value.
The man who hates, hurts himself
I The man who kills to crafty revenge
and TO even up an old score leaves
himself deeper in debt-to suffer a
penalty which he undertook to put
upon some one else.
There are some instances where
possibly a man is justified in taking
the life of his fellow man.
For instance, the man who violates
the sanctity of his home who blights
the life of female member of his
family
Il am not sure, however, about that.
But leaving that one instance out
Vt account, there is no Justification.
no compensation, no reward for taking
human life.
The crime of murder is becoming
more common-human life is too
cheap.
The man loaded with pistol and
about eight fingers of blind tiger liquor
is becoming a greater menace to the
peace in this country than the say
ages were in the days of Daniel Boone.
Il heard of a very excellent man
saying recently. that he felt that the
law gave him no protection
That man only spoke what many
others feel.
The time has come when some
thing must be done. Heroic rene
dies must be applied. Some other way
must be found 10 satisfy revenge than
in taking human life
THE courts must do their duty.
The newspapers must cultivate
public sentiment. The preachers
should instill it in the minds of their
pensioners. 1t must stop.

come up to see the negro, Alfred

trespassing on the property of the

as witness. The negro claims that
he was wounded in lumber camp in

ASBURY Will
SERVE Time
Negro Vendor Of Christmas Cheer
is Fined $1OO By Justice
Paul johnson

Another blind tiger operator has
come to grief.
Asbury Rodgers, a negro, is alleged
to have been engaged in the business
in an alley where he lives near Walnut
street and Hall avenue. Officers Binns
and Parker saw him make sale and
testified that they saw the money pass.
The negro claimed that some other
negro had left a jug of liquor at his
house and that he had loaned a friend
some of it; that while he was accomo-
dating a friend with the loan of a
bottle of liquor from the other negro's
jug, the officers saw him and that he
was not making a sale. The officers
were positive in their statements that
the negro sold the liquor AS a matter
of fact they stated, privately that the
negro had made other sales.
The negro is crippled and not able
to work and it is believed that he en-
gagged in theb usiness in order to make
living out of it, which is the reason
assigned by some white people when
they engage in the unlawful business.
After hearing the testimony, Justice
Johnson told the negro that he was
thoroughly convinced of his guilt and
fined him 800.

A HOLIDAY INNOVATION.

fishes the following interesting and
valuable story:
"A travelling salesman had an only
son with whom be had been liberal in
the matter of spending money. and
ather thoughtless. The boy began de-
veloping extravagant habits. and had
no appreciation of the value of money
SO the father made it a rule that all
the spending money he got in future
must be earned. The boys mother
was made the employer, and a regular
schedule of prices for definite chores
was drawn up-two cents a basket for
splitting kindling, five cents an hour
Tor hoeing garden, five cents a hun.
dred for collecting potato bugs.
This reformed the boy in one way.
Tor 1t made him ambitious. He got
out of bed early in the morning To
earn money. There was always a big
pile of kindling on hand, and he kept
an eye open for odd jobs of all kinds.
But the reason he worked for
money was that he might buy more
or less useless things that he had
bought under the old arrangement. So
saving plan was added to the earn.
ing plan.
The boy was permitted to spend
one-quarter of all the money he made
In his own way, without supervision.
Another quarter went into a small
home bank, to be deposited in a saw
ings account at interest. The remain
ing fifty per cent of his earnings was
Kept back by his father, half to be
invested in books and half in tools
and toys.
Before anything was bought out of
this final fund, however, father and
son had conference and agreement
on articles to be purchased or books
selected. Thus the fund went chiefly
to the purchase of educational toys
such as a printing-press. a scroll-saw.
a camera. No anticipation of pay
ments was permitted, nor any trans
fer of money from one fund to another
to hurry the consummation of a pur.
chase. In that way the fact that there
was a surplus on hand did not kill
the incentive to work for an object"
