A man of criminal record, who
has confessed to the police that he
was guilty of burglary, was recently
ACQUITTED in one of the criminal
courts in one of our large cities.
Perhaps his testimony to the
Jury that his confession to the
nollce had been extorted from him
by violence in the police 'tsweat-
box had something to do with
his acquittal.
More attention was evidently
paid, however, to the fact that a
"bolt-cutter," used as burglars
tool, which the police said they
had seized among the mans effects
when he was arrested, and which
| was introduced by them in evil
dence, bore tag showing it had
been in their hands twenty-five
days prior to the arrest.
This case is one for most thor
ough consideration and investiga-
|tion. No matter what the mans
record, no matter whether guilty
of the particular offense charged
or not, if it shall appear that 9
!, piece of false evidence was intro
lduced against him in court, the
perjurers ought to be subjected te
terminal prosecution.
The bare thought that false cyl
denoe may have been used in al
effort to send q man to the penl

Get The Habit.

BLESSINGS be upon the head OF
Cadmus or whoever It was that
invented books" was statement
made several hundred years ago
and is even more true today than
then. What would we do without
our books-newspapers and mag
azines? The large dailies for In
stances are as essential to the
nation as her currency. They are
the arteries and the smaller papers
the veins which penetrate to the
remotest sections of our country,
laden with news and information
to the rich and poor alike.
The farmer must have his paper
to keep in touch with commerce.
It tells him how to treat his land
and informs him regarding
his stock and machinery. The
lawyer, the doctor, the merchant
and the politician, each seek news
in his own particular line. Peri
odicals have grown to become an
absolute necessity. Some of Us
do not read enough and do not
try to remember what we do read.
Good books, papers and magazines,
read during our leisure moments,
tend to elevate and educate the
mind. There is nothing 80 refresh
| ing and restful to the tired mind and
body as an hours reading of in
teresting matter. Instead OF do
ing SO much thinking and worry
ing do more reading and in a short
time you will be surprised to note
how much you have. come to de-
pend on your books and papers
and how good it seems to be
thoroughly informed on the current
topics of the times. Try it. Get
the habit and you will never get
