PSYCHOLOGY

We have been reaching Judge Harris
communication in today's Advertiser
and at once, we say: Now, what ka-
maaina of all this territory can we,
according to the light We have, place
with Judge Hart? 1t is not uncom-

not so very long time since. Now,
almost all who have occasion to go
through King or Hotel, not speaking
of the side streets, say from Bethel
to the Depot, either go and come in
the cars or by private conveyance.
Very few walk there. A woman said

Why? because you think you will meet
poor people? Often likely untidy and
unkempt-the unwashed crowd?" We
like to see, read, mark, learn and
understand, how Poverty houses and

The law of Retribution, righteous
and just, pursues us with its iron
hand, whenever we too long time neg

so we were deeply interested in Judge
Tart's article and plea, for the poor

give our bit writing and our much
praise for Mr.. Rath and for all Help
ers of that ripe region-ripe and rea-
dy with special needs, men, women
and little children. Now, who will
walk through that district with an
eye to help and the heart of pity? The

very oft to say, that Judge Humphreys
was not the equal of Judge Hart. But
in legal lore Judge Humphreys may
be ahead. In temperament they are
something alike, fond of family life
