The Value of Good

Is easy to figure if you know what your stomach
is worth. Kodol keeps the stomach at par value
by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia

"stimulants" doesn't cure anything,
or accomplish any good. Neither
does dieting. Indigestion and the
serious ailments which it induces
can be averted and corrected only
by natural means.
Kodol supplies this natural
means. 1t performs the stomach's
work for it-just as the stomach
should perform it-while the stom-
ach takes a little rest, for the

SHOULD AMEND CHANGE
OF VENUE LAW.

The Cuero Record makes what ap-
pears a just complaint against the
practice of changing the venue of
criminal cases from the county in
which the rime was committed
TO some other county. the latter
county being Obliged to bear the ex-
penses of the trial and at the same
time have its own business set aside
and often postponed, to the great
disadvantage of public or private in
terests. The particular case calling
forth the Records complaint was, of
course, the Cabrera murder trial,
which was transferred from Starr
county to be tried in the district court
of Dewitt county. For this trial
nearly two hundred witnesses were
summoned, having to travel more
than two hundred miles, and their
travelling expenses and fees, in ad-
dition to the fees and mileage for
officers, amount to a very large sum.
The case occupied nearly the entire
time of the CuerO term of district
court and compelled the continuance
of a large number of other cases on
the docket, retarding the regular
business of the court and possibly
resulting in great detriment to va
rious interests.
The reason for such an inconven-
lent and apparently inequitable
method of melting out justice is that
the cases so transferred cannot get
a fair hearing in the counties where
the crimes charged were committed,
owing to the notoriety which such
crimes usually acquire in the imme-
diate locality where committed. and to
the fact that prejudice often exists
either for or against the accused in
such localities. These appear good
grounds. and doubtless the condi-
lions would often be contributOry to
a miscarriage of justice in some
cases. Still, 1t would appear that
some less expensive and less cum
bersome method might be devised,
which would insure justice being
done. The suggestion of the Record
is not a bad one-that is, that, in
stead of transferring the case to an
other county, jurors be summoned
from aaether county to come to the
county in which the crime was COM
mitted in order to try the case. By
this method the county in which
a crime was committed might bear
the expenses of the trial, and at the
same time the ends of justice would
be subserved.
Cuero has had enough experience
of the kind referred to. In addition
to the Cabrera murder trial, the
Monk Gibson case from Jackson
county was finally tried there. 1t
was a Dewitt county jury that con-
victed and condemned this fiendish
slayer of the Conditt family, and
the sheriff of the county had to per-
form the awful task of hanging him.
1t must be said, however, that De
Witt county jurors have reputation
for fairness, intelligence, and hon
esty which makes a miscarriage OF
justice in that county unlikely
Hence its district court is one of the
best in the state before which to try
criminals who are manifestly guilty
of atrocious crimes and who might
succeed in eVading justice in a COM
munity where jurors might be less
noted for those qualities.
