A Paper Is a Paper With Some People.
(Smithfeld Herald.)

(smithfeld Herald)
So much has been said about read
ing and education the past few years
that most families hold the idea that
they should at least take newspa-
per but many seem to care but very
little what kind that they take,
whether it is a weekly or monthly,
whether it is printed in the county
or State or several thousand miles
away, whether it is sold for ten, ff-
teen, twenty-five or fifty cents or
one dollar per year makes but little
difference. Nor does it matter If it
contains articles which poison the
minds of the young as is true of
many Of the cheap story papers. An
unprincipled firm may send out an
advertising sheet which recommends
only humbugs but if it has worth
less story in each issue it is called a
good paper. If any paper is taken
it is almost impossible to sell another
no matter how good it may be. A
paper is paper and anything called
by the name is considered good
enough for the home reading.
No wonder so many young people
have foolish notions and are 50 hard
to control when they are allowed to
read such trash. In the selection Of
papers for the home some thinking
should be done. People do not buy
farm implements and household
goods without giving the matter con-
siderable thought. 1t does look like
the literature of the home deserves
at least as much consideration.
We advise you not to take cheap
papers and do not take such of any
kind as stand for nothing. What is
the use Of reading unless something
is to be learned from it worth know
ing. Take papers which have prin-
ciples and stand by them. Take as
many good papers as you can read.

for that purpose. AT school enIer-
tainments promiscious crowd is ex-
pected and the legislature has passed
an Act for their protection-Sectlon
37O4 of Revisal. In this Act, after
certain meetings are mentioned, are
these words cor any meeting what
soever peaceably heidi If the de
PENDANTS had been indicted under
this section, | would have held the
Indictment good, but l would have
done 50 with some misgiving.
Worcesters Dictionary says:
"Worship consists in the perform
ance of all those external acts and
the observance of all those rites and
ceremonies in which men engage
with the PROGRESSED and SOLE view
of honoring God" ITO adore, TO
honor" ''To pay supreme homage
to-" Are these the objects for which
little children are invited to attend
Sunday-schools? Surely not. They
are invited there for the PURPOSE Of
being taught the Bible and to learn
something of the attributes of God
in order that they may better under
stand how to worship Him when
they grow to maturity.
But suppose l was mistaken in my
views of the law, have you and those
who through you have made public
protest against my ruling, pursued
the proper course? If my ruling was
wrong, the State, and through it the
friends of the prosecution had the
right to carry the case to the Su-
preme Court and test the correct
ness of my ruling.
set aside the submission of guilty
upon the ground that there was
fatal variance between the allegation
and the proof, and this gave the So
licitor the right of an appeal to the
Supreme Court. Neither he nor
those who instituted the prosecution
offered to appeal. If they had, the
case would have gone to the Supreme
Court, and if my construction Of the
Statute was upheld, application could
have been made to the next General
Assembly for an Act to cover such
cases. There is another way to test
the correctness of my ruling. If the
said defendants are indicted under
section 37O4 of the Revisal, and they
plead former acquital, the question
will be squarely raised as to whether
or not they could have been lawfully
convicted under the former bill. If
those who have made this protest
really believe they are right, it is not
too late for them to test the question
now by having said defendants in
dicted at the next term of Swain Su-
perior Court under section 1904 of
Revisal. Besides my ruling was not
binding on any other Superior Court
Judge.
The life, liberty and property of
the citizens and the peace and good
order of the State depend, in a meas
ure, upon the integrity of and the
respect given to the Judiciary of the
State, and he who attempts to lesson
the latter, in my opinion, commits q
crime against the public.

munication in as prominent a form
as you published the communication
