cAUSTIC COMMENT.
La. G. Rutledge.]
"GOOD-BYE."

Goodbye is a hard word to speak.
Some may laugh that it should be,
but let them; icy hearts are never
kind. 1t is a word that has choked
many an utterance, and started many
a tear.
The hand is clasped, the word is
spoken, we part, and are out on the
ocean of time-we go to meet again,
where3 God only knows. It may
be soon, it may be never.
Take care that your goodbye be
not a cold one-it may be the last
one you can give. Ere you meet
again, deaths cold hand may have
closed his eyes and claimed his
lips forever. He may have died,
thinking you cared not for him.
Again, it may be long separation.
Friends crowd on and give you
their hands. How do you detect in
each goodbye the love that fingers
there; and how may you bear with
you the memory of these parting
words many days?
We must separate. Tear not your
self away with a careless boldness
that defies all love, but make your
words liuger-give your heart full
utterance-and if tears fall, what of
it? Tears are not unmanly.

Upset WARD Law.

'These.lawyers and Others who have
run away with the idea that the Supreme
Court will declare the Ward law uncon-
stitutional are a little premature, &C
cording TO my way OF thinking" said "A
lawyer yesterday. who has studied the
case, and who Is not appearing ia the
supreme Court proceedings There IL
no occasion Ia go into the law, for that
has been covered heretofore, and is more
or less familiar to those who have an In
terest. direct or Indirect, In the matter.
You can't always gamble on what a
court will say by the questions it may
ask, but this much is certain: II the Su-
preme Court says the Ward law Is IN
constitutional it will be and is unconsti-
tutional. Until the opinion is handed
down. therefore. there Is no use for any
body to get excited, but shall be great
ly surprised II the law is knocked out,
even though my personal feeling may be
against the manner of its operation. -
