CIrc1ln1StO7atiOL Evidence.

APRoPos of the foregoing article it is well to
state that every year many persons convicted on
crcumstantial evidence less convincing than that
discovered against the men at Dallas, Texas. Not
withstanding the fact that they stoutIy maintain
their innocence the circumstances such that it
is impossible to prove it. Instead of giving the
Gus ed the benefit of the doubt conviction and i'm
prlsonment generally follows. The prosecution, be-
ing convinced that the facts what they pretend
to be, presses the with his usual vgor and in
sists that justice demands conviction. 1t is not
his business to point out what might have possibly
occurred he accepts the testimony of the witnesses
he has found and lets the jury decide to the ele-
ment of doubt.
If the case at Dallas had been left to jury,
conviction would have surely followed But thanks
to the fnger-prnt system, grave judicial
prevented by timely investigation. What appeared
to be strong case, toppled over like house of
cards. and the prosecuting attorney frankly admits
that the right parties not arrested Surely this
case should convince anyone of the unreliabity of
crcumstantial evidence.

AS THE result of decision handed down by the
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Friday
from five thousand to ten thousand persons will be
prevented from voting in the future. They are
those who, relying opinion of former Attor-
ney General, have held that they were entitled to
vote even tho they had been convicted of felony.
This opinion held that persons who had been con-
victed by jury of had pleaded guilty to felony
were not amenable to the law preventing convicted
felons from voting if they had been released

To test the validity of this opinion, ex-Judge

illegal voting the ground that he had been con-
victed of burglary in 1905 When the case came be-

Saved from Prison.


The 6nger.print system has recently proved it's
merits by establishing the innocence of two men
who arrested strong chain of circumstantial
evidence which, Individually, pointed to their guilt.
The incident happened near Dallas Texas and the
men were seen near the scene of the crime. A mail
sack had been thrown from passing train during
heavy thunderstorm. The authorities traced the
footprints to farm where one of the men, who
seen at the station when the train arrived en-
ployed. Here in one of the outbuildings, found
the letters strewn about With such strong evidence
before them, the authorities arrested the two
Altho they denied all knowledge of the pouch, they
admitted that they were at the train waiting for a
friend.
The United States marshal who made the arrest
noticed several finger prints the envelopes that
had been opened, and Immediately submitted the
facts to Mr. NJ W. McClaughry the government ex-
pert on finger prints, including Impressions of the
fingers of the men under arrest. He was called to
Dallas witness and convinced the judge and jury
that the men were innocent 1t took him some time
to thoroughly explain the system, but when he got
thru the men were released from custody.
The circumstantial evidence in this case was so
strong that, if murder had been committed, they
might have been executed However, the timely
discovery OF the finger prints the opened envel-
opes saved them from prison The finger. print sys-
tenn has for it's underlying principle correct denti-
cation. In the future it will be so widely
tablished that finger print is found in the dust

more value than ton of circumstantial evidence.

Heroic Miners,

HeTOZC Miners.
IT HAS often been said that workingmen have
little respect for their employers and that their duty
toward them goes no further than the payroll This
assertion is not based on facts, and it is banded
about only to widen the breach between employers
and employees. Only few days ago seven miners
laid down their lives at Wilkesbarre, Pa, in trying
to prevent the spreading of fire that started in the
mines.
It is we'll known that self. preservation is the
first law of nature in such cases. and these miners
would have been justified in saving their lives re-
CARELESS of the damage done by the fire. It is to be
regretted that they miscalculated their danger after
making such heroic efforts to put out the fire. Such
incidents eloquent testimony that proves that
workmen not to be classed with shirks and base
ingrates. When occasion offers they willing to
risk their lives in saving the property of their
ployers. For this devotion they do not expect any
pecuniary reward. The interests of their employer
theirs and they realized that if the mine was
put out of working order, their interest would suffer.
All honor to these brave men who laid down their
lives unselfshly.

IT is stated that John D. Rockefeller has in his

is to evangelize the world. The item which came

the stating that the oil king would be adored
by the American people before he dies This state

that these evangests paid to praise the head of
the oil company, and that they to neglect op-
portunity to create favorable public opinion.
There is no man in this country today who is
more DESTROYS of the goodwill of the people than
John D. Rockefeller. He has realized the he
has made in the past. He is using his colossal
fortune to counteract the hatred that he brought
against himself. and is trying to make attonement
for the evil he and his associates have done. is

This action on the part of congress in restoring
the motto does not reflect seriously upon the chief
executive. It is we'll known that he is a Christian

simply indicates that he has mistaken the temper of

the controversy is finally settled, and the government
