THE DOCTRINE OF Harmless!
ERRORS.

The enforcement of the doctrine
of harmless errors will greatly i'm
prove the character of our criminal
trials" was an observation made by
Judge Furman in announcing the re-
fusal of the Oklahoma court of
criminal appeals to set aside the YER
dict in a murder case.
The appellant had been convicted
of numbering his wife. The newspa-
per reports unite in saying that the
proof of guilt was perfect and over
testimony by physicians that it was
physically Impossible for the woman
! to inflict the wound that caused
her death because of her extraordin-
airy size 1t was because this testi-
mony, merely opinion, was admitted
that the convicted mans lawyers
sought to have the verdict set aside,
/ The court agreed with them that this
evidence was not properly admiss-
/ ible. but held. as Judge Furman s re-
mark shows, that the proof of guilt
was sufficient without this evidence.
the doctrine OF harmless errors ~
is OF course not new doctrine. It
has obtained a long time under ano-
Their name. But this case is iliustra-
tive OF the extreme lengths to
which lawyers win go in their effort
to defeat the,law. The logic of their
/ contention in this case seems to be,
run out to its end, that because
guilt had been over-proved new
trial ought to be ordered.-Dallas

1t is a good business. Queer that the
world got on so long without 1t.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too, What is better
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn;
we insure the houses that don't You
have the ashes and smoke; all the
houses are ours.
We paint lead-and-zinc, Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't

Lead-and-oil is the old fashion

lead and linseed oil: the best paint
In the world; and the cheapest, be-

mixed paints and it wears twice as
