THE LAW AND THE GOLDEN
RIFLE

Criminal laws were designed to
prohibit offense against society; they
have been made a guide to dis
honesty. Their original text tells
what a man must not do; their con-
struction and Interpretation tell what
a man may do and escape punish
ment.
The law carefully defined the diff
ferent degrees of homicide, and told
what is justifiable and what is ex-
cusable homicide. Then little by lit

lions, an array of handy facts CON

INVESTIGATING WALL STREET.

INVESTIGATING WALL STREET.
Governor Hughes, of New York,
has appointed a commission to In
vestigate Wall street and determine
the true relationship between the
stock exchange and legitimate bust
ness. Fearing that legislative in
yestigation would be a farce, the
governor named a commission of ex-
cellent men. who will serve their
state without pay. They do not ex-
pect to make a sensational report. de-
nouncing stock gambling out OF hand (;
they have no authority to force wit
nesses to testify and they will set
about their business earnestly and
judic.ally. Already the president of
the stock exchange has expressed a
desire to cooperate with the conf
mission. Cooperation is about the
only way of dealing with a body of
men like that. Bribery won't do;
abuse would only arouse suspicion in
the public mind; and indifference is
impossible. In all likelihood Cover
nor Hughes commissioners will ac-
complish more good than a $50 900

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN.

Fire Chief James Wood Is about
as successful farmer as he is a fire
chief, as this year about 500 bushels
of corn were raised on the city farm.
The corn will be sufficient to last the
department until August and will
eliminate big feed bill. The. corn
Is being stored in the four fire sta
tions and the fire laddies during on
hours have regular husking bees.
More corn was raised this year
than ever before. although the drouth
had an I'll effect on the city's crop.
At present corn is quoted at about 60
cents a bushel and with about 500
bushels in the crib the fire depart
ment will save a feed bill of nearly
$500. The farm work in raising the
corn will not be heavy, and a neat
balance will be left.
For the past several years Chief
Wood has been raising corn, but this
years crop has been the most sue
cessful.
