WAS THE JUDGE RIGHT2

A son brought into court the other day
i'm Chicago for failure to support his father
who is 81 years old, sick and penniless. The
son said: HE is my father but thirty-seven
years ago he deserted me when 1 was six
years old and my three sisters, who were
younger He left my mother penniless
after abusing her for years, and she worked
at the washub to support her children 1
refuse to recognize him as my parent, and
viii do nothing to support him"
The Judge, I'm passing upon the case, said:
"A father not willing to regard his children
as a liability when they are helpless, is
not entitled to regard them as an asset i'm
after years
It is easy enough ITO see a good degree of
Justice i'm this decision. but where is the
charity or forgiveness i'm such a view? 1t
is true that the father has sinned, but what
is the son doing? Wouldn't it have been
better and more noble for the son to have
forgiven him and support him if he was
able to do so?
What would the world be without char
ity? A people whose hearts are cold and
relentless are not the makers Of our highest
civilization. but those whose hearts are
warm with the love for humanity and the
spirit Of forgiveness.
For modes Of faith let graceless zealots
fight;
He can't be wrong whose life is i'm the
right
I'm faith and hope the world viii disagree,
But all manknds' concern is charity"

convicted Tillman, proceeded to clear
Dorr in both cases, contrary to the
facts, and smilingly stares from the
centre Of the stage, which it is his
greatest delight to occupy. and COM
placently looks to have the American
people and the senate give their ap-
proval to his verdict. I await that
verdict calmly and without fear, and
will gladly abide by it.
HIn conclusion, Mr.. President. l
court the most searching investiga-
tion. Nay, I demand it. [ declare
most emphatically I have never
sought to conceal my effort to buy
land; I spoke to the attorney general
about it; I explained to the agent Of
the secret service the whole transac-
ton when I gave him the Dorr circu-
lar and the letter which had been
sent me concerning it. The question
Of the motive will at last control and
it cannot be shown that I have any
reason to conceal anything. I invite
comparison of my private life and
my public work as man and a sena-
tor with Theodore Roosevelt, or any
other man, and feel absolutely sure
of the ground upon which I stand.'
