Saves the Pupils, Teeth.

The dental statistics gathered in
many European cities have revealed
such an alarming condition of affairs
that Germany, at least, has decided to
adopt combative measures.
In all large towns dental clinics have
been founded, consisting, as rule, Of
specially fitted up rooms in one Of the
central schools.
Fully qualified dentists are appointed,
who devote their whole time to their
duties, but in Stuttgart the work is
done voluntarily by the local dentists.
That such a movement is necessary can
scarcely be doubted when one learns
that of many thousan of boys and
girls examined from the ages Of to 13
only per cent had perfectly healthy
set of teeth. To give an idea of the
amount of work done in a year at
Darmstadt schools it is necessary to
quote the figures of 1903. During the
year 1876 children were examined ind
1861 teeth were filed, while 1871 were
extracted In Strassburg 1866 children
were examined, 600 teeth were filed
and 2,912 were extracted.
Another interesting fact is that 40
per cent of all teeth examined were
bad The method Of work is simple;
the teacher takes his class to the den
fist, who examines each mouth quick
ly and marks on the card which each
child has brought with it whether
treatment is necessary. If so the child
must come again on a Saturday.
Russia is also joining in the move
ment and has already fitted up nine
such institutions in st. Petersburg
alone, while Moscow has also several

FROM THE COMMONER
-~1- MIR. BRYAN'S PAPER
The First Voter.

Young man, great responsibility at
taches to your first vote. AS you begin,
so you are likely to continue. The mo-
mentum that carries you into party at
the beginning of your political life is apt
to keep you in that party unless some
CONFUSION shakes you out of it. Start
right, and in order that you may start
right, examine the principles of the par
ties and the policies which they advocate.
There are two great party organlza-
tions in the United States, one fifty years
old, and the other more than century
old. The Republican party has been in
power almost uninterruptedly for more
than half a century and under its reign
abuses have grown up which threaten the
perpetuity of the government and endan-
ger our civilization. So great are these
abuses that Republican reformers are
now pointing out that something must be
done-and what can be done? The first
thing is to undo the things that have
been done, and the party to undo these
abuses is not the party which has done
them, but the party which has protested
against these abuses and pointed out rem
edes
The Republican party has turned the
taxing power over to private individuals !;
it has allowed monopolies to grow up and
assume control of the industries of the
country by granting privileges by law
and by giving immunity to the large vio-
lators of the law; the Republican party
has permitted the fortunes of the preda-
tory rich to become so large that govern
ment is corrupted, politics debauched and
business polluted.
The Democratic party proposes to
withdraw the taxing power from private
hands, to so legislate as to make a pri-
vate monopoly impossible, and to enforce
the law without discrimination. 1t pro-

poses to protect legitimate wealth and
punish those who attempt to plumber the
public for private gain. On which side
do you stand, young man? Are you with
the masses in their effort to restore the
government to it's old foundation and
make it a government of the people, for
the people and by the people, or are you
with the Republican leaders in their eff
fort to perpetuate the party in power by
selling immunity in return for campaign
contributions?
There are always two parties in the
country, and one is necessarily nearer to
the people than the other. In this coun-
try the Democratic party is nearer to
the people than the Republican party.
It's leaders have more faith in the people
and are more anxious to keep the govern
ment under the control of the people.
Take the election of United States Sena-
tors by the people as a test. The Demo
Gratis want to give to the voters a chance
to elect and to control their representa-
tives in the United States Senate. The
Democratic party in the House of Repre-
sentatives passed the first resolution for
the submission of the necessary constitu-
tlOnaI amenQmenC. L hey uiu ILLS tlSut
years before any Republican Congress did
it. The Democratic party has thrice de-
manded this reform in its national plat
form The Republican party has not
done so. Why do Democratic leaders in
sist upon this reform and Republican
leaders oppose it? There can be but one
answer-the Democratic party is nearer
to the people than the Republican party.
Young man, will you stand with the peo-
pie or against them?
The answer to this question affects
ycur country If you are with the peo-
ple your influence, be it great or small,
will hasten their victory. If you are
against the people your influence may re-
tard that victory But while in the first
instance it is your country that may gain
or lose by your action, you must remem-
Der that in the long run your own posi-
ton in politics will depend upon your
conduct. You can not fool the people al
ways. You may lead them astray if you
dare, but they will punish you when they
find YOU out. You may work for the
people without their recognizing it at
first, but you can trust them TO discover

CHAPTER II.


An hour and half later Miss Caring
ton and her niece were walking quickly
down one of the garden paths until they
came to little gate set in the hedge; un-
latching it, they passed into a neighbor-
ing garden, and then turned their faces
in the direction of a low white house,
with veranda running all round it, and
roses in profusion running over it. As
they did so, the notes of a violin, evil
IDENTIFY played by a practiced hand, reach
ed them. Miss Carrington's face bright
ened, and, making a gesture to her com
panion to move softly, she stepped up to
a window and looked through it. The
room, if it were a drawing room, was al
most as heterogeneously furnished as her
own, but it bore the character of IL
brary Two of the walls were lined with
bookcases; a grand piano and harmo-
NOUS occupied some of the space; there
was round table Uttered with books,
and a superiority of easy chairs in every
stage of comfort, arranged more with a
view to ease than appearance. A nearer
inspection would have pointed out certain
bachelor Observation-Disclosures costly Turk
ish pipes; a pair of pistols, splendldly
mounted; some silver cups and tankards,
with various Inscriptions on them, all en-
graved with the name of Greville Moore,
and purporting to be certain prizes IN
the half-mile race, the high jump, throw
ing the cricket ball and other feats of
prowess, performed by some youthful ath-
lete.
An elderly man, with a long white
beard and mustache, in black velvet
coat, sat with his back to the light, play
ing the violin. His face, seen in repose,
was clear cut and handsome, in spite of
the deep lines that time and perhaps
many cares had traced upon it; but his
eyes were cast down, as though in deep
meditation, an habtual action, for Mr..
Moore had been blind half his life.
He was playing from memory an e1-
quisite fugue from Bach. The thin, some
what wrinkled hand handled the bow with
a precision, delicacy, mastery knoWl-
edge, that seemed surprising in his sltua-
ton. Apparently he was lost himself in
enjoyment of the sweet sounds that he
had conjured up in his darkness, for
smile played round his lips as the har-
mony widened and vibrated, and his foot
softly moved as though in unison. In
moment the fugue was ended and the bow
lowered.

why have you stolen a march on the

"Aunt Diana set me the example" re-
truned Alison, demurely. "How do you
do again, Mr.. Moore?'
'Oh, nicely, nicely; time always passes
quickly with me in my own special world.
Have you given your aunt her favorite
chair? How does the picture progress,
Miss Diana? Sunny tells me it is one Of
your best"
''Would you have me praise my own
work." returned Miss Darlington, bright
ly. Il must leave you to Alison's criti-
cism. l hope to do something GOOD be-

Asleep on His Beat

penter J. And although the ma jOrity of
the court held that a statute authorizing
the accused to elect to be tried by the
court was constitutional, and that the
wisdom of the permission was for the Leg
islature to determine, Chief Justice Park
dissented upon the ground that the law
conficted with the constitutional provis-
ion that ''the right of trial by jury shall
remain inviolate." 1t is to be noted, by
the way, that the federal constitution con-
tains the more explicit provision that the
trial of all crimes, except in cases of
impeachment, "shall be by jury" thus
recognizing the interests of the public in
this mode of trial.
u. S. Rev. Stat Sec. 800, Fed. Stat
Annot. p. 1877, provides that the qualifi-
cations of jurors in the federal courts
shall be the same as those for jurors in
the highest court of law in the State
where the federal court is sitting. The
citizens of West Virginia, for example,
may rest assured that no verdict of a
jury in a federal court in that State can
affect life, liberty, or property, if any of
the jurors is more than sixty years DID,
because the Legislature of the State has
deemed it unwise to intrust such vital
interests to the judgments of men in the
decline of life. West Virginia Code (4th
ed p. 800. But federal judge sew

1t is arguable that the respect due to
judges will be diminished by suffering
their purpose in granting an injunction
to be foiled by the verdict of jury lib
Grating alleged contemnors. But the con-
illusions of equity judges on questions of
fact as well as of law are often upset
by an appellate court, and no complaint
is heard. 1t is hard to see how the pres
tige of judge could suffer more grievous-
ly than by his conviction and sentence of
a person for criminal contempt in case
where overwhelming and sincere public
opinion pronounced the defendant guilt

Drugs and the Brain.

Most people believe that drugs af-
feet the brain. Yet this apparently is
not so, according to physicians. Drugs
no more affect the brain than
does insanity-that is, not at all .--ex
cept alcohol, which does injure the
brain, though not at all on account Of
it's mental efferts, but for the very
different reason that alcohol has a
chemical affinity for the albumen and
fats of the tissues. By this chemical
action it slowly alters and damages
brain tissue, but this result in no
wise differs from similar alterations
produced by alcohol in the tissues Of
the liver and of the kidneys. Tobac-
co is a powerful poison, and yet no
autopsies can show the yeast differ
ence between the brain OF lifelong
smoker and that of one who never lit
a cigar. Likewise, the brain of an
opium fiend is indistinguishabIe from
any other brain. and so on for the

might be highly salutary by protecting the
Judge from malicious criticism, and by re-
lieving him from apprehension of public
indignation for a mistaken conclusion of
guilt. In a case in equity tried b
New Jersey vice chancellor, the defend
ant. clergyman, testified that he had
paid the complainant an old woman par
ishioner, $1,000 in bills for certain real
estate. The complainant absolutely de-
MED the payment. There was some other
evidence bearing upon that issue of fact.
The vice chancellor considered the testi.
mony at great length and declared the
clergyman a liar. On the same testimony
the case was taken to the court of errors
and appeals, which decided in short order.
by a unanimous bench of twelve jurors,
that the clergyman had not committed
perjury, that his story bore all the marks
of truth, and that the testimony of the
complainant was glaringly false. Sub
sequently, in a divorce case, the same vice
chancellor wrote an opinion which covers
thirty-seven pages of the report, and upon
an exhaustive review of the testimony
adjudged the wife guilty of adultery and
granted her husband divorce. On APP
the same evidence was discussed with
consummate ability by Judge Vreden-
burgh, the decree of the vice chancellor
was reversed, and the wife's name saved
from dishonor. "Her reputation under
the proofs stands without a stain or
blemish upon it," was the unanimous
opinion of the fifteen judges. The SAM
vice chancellor afterward tried, convict
ed and sentenced strikers for violations
of his injunctions. Now suppose that
in these contempt cases he had committed
blunders in estimating the weight Of evil
dence, as gross as those which the review
ing judges found in the two cases above
mentioned. No tribunal could review his
finding and rectify his mistake on the
facts. Wouldn't there be an ugly clamor
for trial by jury? If a locomotive engi-
neer's mistake caused as grievous injuries
to the persons of passengers on his train
as the vice chancellor's uncorrected errors
would have inflicted on the regulations of
litigants in his court, what would become

Importance of Jury Trial in Indirec
Contempt Cases.

Importance of Jury Trial i'm Indirect
Contempt Cases.
Law Notes." a lawyers publication,
prints in its August number an interest
ing article written by Charles G. Moore,
and relating to the Importance of jury
trial in cases of indirect contempt. The
article follows:
AS in other criminal cases, accusations
for contempt must be supported by evil
dence sufficient to convince the mind of
the trier beyond a reasonable doubt of
the actual guilt of the accused. u. S. vs..
Jose, 81 Fed. Rep. 954. OF course the
purpose of this rule is frustrated if there
is reasonable doubt of the capacity of
the trier to. estimate the convincing force
of the evidence; and, as we have seen, the
judges themselves declare that, sitting as
triers of facts, their competency to weigh
evidence accurately is not equal to that of
juries
But the superiority of jurors as triers
of facts is not the only reason for the
requirement that criminal cases shall be
tried by a jury. The people, by jury
drawn from among themselves, take part
in every conviction of a person accused
of crime and the general knowledge that
no man can be otherwise convicted in
creases the public confidence in the justice
of convictions and is strong bulwark
of the administration of the criminal law.

ORGANIZATION.
OrOdnlZdLlOn.

Rev. W. P. Crouch, pastor of the
Central Christian church, has rendered
his resignation, the matter being made
public at that church on last Sunday.
Rev. Crouch has been in the city
nearly five years, and was one of the
organizers of the splendid church over
which he has presided as pastor. For
some time he preached in the Bristol,
Tenn, court house, and until Sunday
school room of the present church was
built. Then services were held there
until the main auditorium was erected.
During the pastorate of Rev. Crouch
large church organization has been
built up, and a splendid church build
ing, costing several thousand dollars,
has been erected. The pastor and his
family have been much beloved by the
Bristol people, and their departure
from the city will be met with regret.
Rev. Crouch has been recalled to
Athens, Ala, to preside over the Chris
tian church in that place, his home and
charge before coming to Bristol.
Rev. Crouch and family will leave
here about September 1st for their for.
mer southern home. Bristol News.
