There may be those who will
smile at the behavior of the jury
in the Carmack murder case in
Nashville, and the indulgence of
the judge who allows one his
morning toddy on the ground that
"the Constitution prohibits cruel
punishment" and suggests rolling
dice when another asks if card
playing is forbidden, but the ma
jority of people feel that trial of
this sort is rather too serious a
matter orlevity, and that a proper
lesson on the gravity of the duty
before the jury would have been
more timely and fitting. 1t may
be little old fashioned to sup
pose that serious matters should
be treated seriously, but there are
many who must plead guilty to an
old fashioned conception that a
jury flippantly charged may be
flippantly inclined when it comes
to their agreement.

The Civil Service Law.

It is twenty-five years since the
Civil Service law went into effect
and its last report was of special
interest containing as it does a
brief history of the work of the
Civil Service Commission during
the first twenty-five years of it's
life. Since it's establishment in
1883 the growth of the merit sys-
tenn has been uninterrupted and
it's advantages over the spoils sys-
tenn have been acknowledged by
all. Both political parties endorse
the principles of civil service al
though many individual politici-
ans would be glad to stab it under
the fifth rib. 1t is fact, however,
that six states and ninety cities
of the country have adopted civil
service competitive examinations
for filling clerical and other Offices.
During the year OF 1908 there were
one hundred and sixty seven
thousand applicants for civil SER
vice examinations as against one
hundred and twenty-nine thous-
and in 1907, and 41,000 persons
were appointed because of excel
lence in competitive examina-
tions. The competitive positions
now number 100000. During
President Roosevelt's term of Of
fee, the number of positions un-
der the government, subject to
competitive examination, h s
nearly doubled, for in 1901 the
number was only 10000.

The Devil is Coming.

New York's latest and greatest
success "The Devil" is known to
every newspaper reader in the
country and it is with much pleas
ure that Manager Allen of the
Auditorium announces that he
will present that great success
here on Tuesday, Feb. 9th. "The
Devil" is the adoption of Franz
Molnar's Continental success
"The Devil" der TeufeD which
has been the rage of Europe for
the past year and teaches a story
never before seen on any stage
No play of the past century has
caused the newspapers to devote
as much space to it as this one
has, the newspapers of the largest
cities devoting pages to discus
sing 1t. The production seen here
will be an exact duplicate of that
now running in New York still
doing capacity business after
almost full season there. The
announcement of the sale of seats
will be made later and it would
be we'll to watch for the date as
no doubt it will be a record
breaker here as it has been ali
over the country.

The following beautiful senti-
ment is from the pen of Senator
Bob Taylor:
II would rather fill my purse with
money and keep its gates ajar to my
happy girls while yet they linger un-
der my roof than to clutch it with a
miser's haEd until all the harpstrings
of youth are broken and all its music
forever fed. l would rather spend
my last nickel for bag of striped
marbles to gladden. the hearts of my
barefooted boys than to deny them
their childish pleasures, and leave
them bag of gold to quarrel over
when l am dead. l abhor the pitiless
hawk that circles in the air only to
swoop down and strangle the song of
the linnet or bury its talons in the
heart of the dove. / despise the
soulless man whose greed for gold
impels him to strangle the laughter and
song of his own family"

Judge Jones, of Baton Rouge,
has a way of dealing with juvenile
offenders which is neither unique
nor "humane" possibly, but very
effective. Young .hoodlums who
can not be put in Jail on account
of their youth are turned over to
their parents with instructions not
to spare the rod. After all, two
of the best juvenile reformatories
ever invented are moJher's slipper
and fathers strap. AS they grad
ually become extinct the demand
for Juvenile courts and reform
schools increase. - Shreveport

Mr.. Garfield, Secretary of the
Interior, shows in his annual re-
port that the names of 5O,676 pen
sioners were taken of the pension
rolls during the past year by
death. Nevertheless, Congress is
90 liberal and pension agents are
40 active that the army of PEN
sioners is kept up. There are still
ON the pension rolls more than
one million OF persons, much
greater number than during the

that makes the military establish-,

Twenty Per Cent Increase in Attend
ance at state Institute at

The attendance at the Nebraska School
for the Blind at Nebraska City is 20 per
cent larger today than il was six months
ago, and superintendent N. +. Abbott is
striving to increase the percentage Of gain.
One Of the best times for the blind pupil
to begin our work is Immediately after
the Christmas holidays" he says. "as we
expect to start new classes.
I'VE prefer to secure pupils between the
ages of 7 and 20, though We do not limit
them to that age. The work embraces
three distinct lines-music, literary branches
and Industry. Any boy or girl whose eye
sight Is so defective as to prevent attend
ance at common schools, and who is OF
sound mind and good moral character, may
enter. The state provides room, board,
w~ashing-in fact, everything save trans
portation and clothing.

population in the state, naturally has the
largest number of pupils in this Institution.
