The Unjust Critic

A SPEAKER recently remarked: "God deliver me
from the man who good in our govern
ment states, institutions, our public officials
and in our people" Undoubtedly the man who is
continually decrying everything is not good patriot,
for rule his generalities altogether to sweep
ing in their nature. What has the appearance of de-
cay and wrong to an overwrought Imagination, may
look entirely different to sane and unpreJudIced
mind. To think evil of everything and everyone is
to get into rut which often leads to serious conse
quences. In time he graduates fufedged mis-
anthrope, and few persons think it worth while to
listen to his blatant >growls.
AS rule, no man is above finding fault with
there shortcomings in those who think them
selves the most perfect. The man who points to
various bemishes in another perhaps is having his
own faults under observation by someone else and
it goes Still, one should not be too condemnatory
in making assertions of the moral turpude he sees
on every hand It is far better to be tolerant OF the
fralties not approve of than to crtcise harshy
nay, even sometimes so brutality as to wound every
sensitive feeling in mans nature. 1t Is easy to
accuse another of being foul minded and unworthy
of any decent mans friendship. but is he? His
unprecedented friends may declare him the soul OF
honor and all that Who should we believe? Gen.
orally we place more reliance in the word of ones
friends than in ones enemies. The viewpoint from
which we look at these things makes all the difference
in the world. The man who looks thru the eyes OF

War Clouds.


The long predicted war in the Balkins is now
becoming of possibility than it has for many
years. and as a result the chanceores of Europe are
exceedingly agitated For some time the movers In
the international chessboard of politics have been
very quiet, and recognized the dim specks on
the horizon as precursors of war. Someone in
Greece, however, fell out of second. story window
and Immediately the fun began. Just at present the
wires are kept hot denying rumors of bombardment,
invasion, and assassination much to the amusement
of the countries not directly involved
These terrible war clouds not numerous or
large but by the time the European press canvasses
the situation they will cyconic proportions
So far Japan, as one of the world powers, has
not expressed her views anent the grave situation
that confronts the peace of the world. Even
her war correspondents silent. This omission
looks very serious. During the meantime the war
is supplying interesting to the daily
press, delightful change from the routine happen
ings of the divorce and police court grind.

fire Being .4cqz1ltted.
The authorities of Springfield, ILL.,, are having a
difficult time in convcting the participants of the
riots that took place in that city time ago
So far three of the persons have been tried, and in
each the jury brought in verdict of acquittal
The evidence presented to the jury, atho somewhat
conflicting, clearly indicated guilt but notwithstand
ing this the jury failed to find true bill When
consider the number OF persons involved in these
riots gain idea of the magnitude of the task
confronting the prosecuting attorney. Every man
who took part in the riots believed himself justified
and in face of such situation the law is helpless
number of persons seem 10 think that these
trials show unmistakable evidence of the Anticipated
nature of the jury system, and advocating it's
adjustment and transferrngts powers into the hands
of the PRECEDING judges. While it may be true in
this instance that the jury system is at fault should
not lose sight of the fact that conditions extremely
peculiar Mob violence is to be deplored at all times
but in the final analysis the law is just what the
people make it, When the citizens of any city make
united movement to visit punishment upon one Of
their members who has deeply offended the peace
and dignity of the community, they take the law in
to their own hands by performing the same service
which they elect of their memb ers to do. Their
right to do this is not according to the law, but it is
very difficult to make examples of such violators.
In Springfield the situation is no different than
that of other places in which similar incidents took
place. Ordinarily the people as honest and law
abiding as is to be found anywheres. Still. when
one faces crisis like this, is inclined to lean
more closely to ones friends and tre less towards
the majesty of the law.

The .11illen,aiun1.
SIR HUDSON MAXIM in the current number of the
Cosmopolitan predicts some marvellous changes in
the world when the millennium arrives In speak
ing of the penal and charitable institutions he said
that criminals would not be punished by imprison.
ment for ofenses for which they were not responsible,
but they would be sent to an isolated territory and
kept there until death. This territory would con-
tain all the comforts of lfe and therein the prisoner
could live and work out his own existence. He was
to be forever shut off from the world and when he
died his property to revert to the commonwealth,
in turn to be given to g. new arrival.
This theory looks sublime on paper Mr.. Maxim,
however, has not mentioned the disposition to be
made Of those who did not submit to the laws of his
imaginary penal settlement, for such place surely
must have laws else the weak would soon be in as
ptiable condition the peasants of Russia are to-
day. This scheme is altogether too severe those
who might be arrested for some trifing affair." The
people of today would have to undergo radical
change in disposition before tolerating such sys-
tenn. To an unchristian people such scheme might
be made conform to their ideals but to the Chris
tan it would prove abhorrent.
Thepeople of Sparta thought the millennium had
arrived when Lycurgus put into effect his socalistic
laws; but the so-called millennium, like the sum-
arose and set and the people still dreaming of it,
Athens, too, under the mastery hand of Scion,
dreamed of Utophia that failed to materialize.
Whether or not such state will be realized today

LUU6hiNG School.

In THIS age of arti6cality it is very becoming to
have schools in which laughing is taught art,
just as music, singing and painting taught.
Such school will soon be founded in Europe and
it's object will be to cultivate musical laugh that
will be pleasing to the ear if not quite appropriate
to the occasion. As novelty such an innovation
will prove very desirable but it is not likely to be-
come popular. There is nothing so disgusting as
listening to an limitation laugh-the kind that
lacks feeling and genuine spontaneity. We have all
heard such laugh and know how Earring it is on the
nerves; but if the musical laugh is improvement,
it will receive hearty welcome and perhaps save
many an awkward situation from becoming COM
plete farce. All hail to the musical laugh
