Chief, what did you mean by telling
me this noon that you had never seen
beer in this placer?
Martin replied: We'll, 1 didn't know

was used for four five weeks for
that purpose. The room was furnished
with pool tables, tables and chairs. He
declared that he saw lots of beer in

contained whiskey. He saw liquor sold
there. On cross examination nothing
new was brought out of value to the
defense.
Auditor Johnston was then called
upon to state whether Megrames had

there. 1t is always a good thing to be

What Bretsch
Tried to Prove.

Bretsch first tried to prove that the
beer In the basement was brought there
by Greek giving a New Years party
and that the beer was not sold but
given away by this particular person.
Later he switched from this to proving
that Megrames only financed the es-
tab1ishing of this place and was not
principal in the enterprise. He said that

Mews From the Tripod

( stand, it strikes us as measure de-
serving favorable consideration and
enactment. The danger of confiding
childish offenders in prisons establish
ed for adults, and their almost inevita-
BILE association with confirmed crimi-
nails, has been pointed out frequently.
The influence exerted by older and vi
cious minds upon the immature can
scarcely fail to be harmful and calcu-
lated to lessen the chance of the juve-
nile offenders reform. Many states
have already provided reformatories
for children convicted in courts of
competent jurisdiction, and we know
of none which, having taken the step,
has revoked it. The plan is ex-
cellent in practice as in theory, and
for that reason the Times-Democrat
would be glad to chronicle its adop-
ton by the legislature of Mississippi.

WOULD BE A Benefit?

Governor Noel has submitted for the
consideration of the legislature the
recommendation that law be enact
ed enabling petit juries to return
verdict in criminal cases where eight
or two-thirds of their number are
agreed, regardless of the opinion OF
the remainder of the body. The gov
ernor is backed in the recommends
tion by a resolution passed by the
State Bar Association at its last meet
ing favoring such a law. To our mind
the benefits that would accrue from
such a measure are doubtful and the
question debatable. The time-honored
custom of granting man trial at the
hands of twelve of his cOuntrymen
will be hard to break down in the
minds of the masses and the selec-
ton of juries owing to the greater re-
sponsibility arising from the fewer
number necessary to a decision. The
apparently great need of the common
wealth in securing a more efficient
law enforcement, besides the added
cost of carrying cases from term to
term of court, because of some eccen
tries idea or because of some "sinker'
secured purposely to hang a jury
seems of sufficient warrant to justify
a trial of the new law, but we feel ap
prehensive that this law would bt

pertinent and an innovation of sacred

TIE SALARIES OF OFFICERS.

Believing that the laborer is worthy
of his hire, Governor Noel has recon-
mended by the Legislature an increase
in the salaries of several of the state
officials, and calls attention to the
fact that men qualified to fill the posi-
tions in question are capable OF earn
ing greater salaries than the state
pays. Governor Noel is correct in his
conclusions in this matter, and while

A STATE REFoRMATORY

By the long struggle over the elec-
ton of a senator, popular attention
has been directed to large extent from
the legislative measures under con-
sideration by the Mississippi legisla-
ture. Among those proposed by Gov
ernor Noel in his regular message
were several of interest outside OF
his state. The executive has added to
the list from time to time by brief
special messages, but the two houses,
for obvious reasons, are making slow
progress through their calendars, and
it would be difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to make any reasonably safe pre-
diction as to the success or failure of
the several bills in which there is
general interest.
One of the measures-that provid-
ing for the establishment Of reform
atory for juvenile offenders-has been
lately rewritten by the senate commit
tee on penitentiaries and prisons, and
its new form seems an Improvement
on the old. Whereas, the Original bill
sought to make the reformatory a
home for homeless, incorrigible or un
manageable children as we'll as a place
Of confinement for youngsters convict
ed of some crime or misdemeanor. the
amended bill would restrict it to the
purpose last named. The reasons as
signed for the change seem to us ex
cellent. 1t is argued that it would be
unjust to visit the odium Of confine
ment in such a reformatory upon chill
dren, for example, whose only of
fense lay in their homelessness.

A Chicago minister has made an ef-
fort through inquiries addressed to
one hundred young women of his con-
gregation, says an exchange, to dis
cover the sort of husbands these girls
desire.
The replies are significant.
What is the chief quality of the
man do you suppose, these young
women insist upon in their ideal hus-
bands?
Good looks?
Not one. Indeed, some Of these
sensible girls actually object to
handsome husband as one too apt to
have 'affinities.'
Wealth?
Scarcely one of them names mon
ey requirement. Some expressly
stated a preference for poor young
man, that they might have the pleas
ure of helping him up in the world.
Occupation?
Neither occupation nor position in
society cuts any figure in the selection
of a desirable husband. Any honest
employment would suffice.
What then, think you, did these
one hundred modern girls, ranging
from 18 to 25 years, insist upon as
the one desirable trait in the man OF
their choice?
Pathetic insistence-
Every young woman put into her
requirement that she wished above all
things to marry a man who
WOULD BE KIND TO HER.
That's all.
The husbands might be plain OF
feature, rich or poor, millionaire OF
labor, but
HE MUST be KIND.
And here is the distinctly feminine
viewpoint; view often misunder
stood by men.
Says the mystified husband who haf
domestic difficulty: do l not pro
vide for her? Am l not neat ant
clean? l never touched her in anger
What more does she want?'
What more does she want? Ten
derness; sympathy. She is built tha
way.
The real woman doesn't mind bur
thy to help her bear them. She glad
ly makes sacrifices, if he shows ap
probation.
A touch of kindness, shy caress
a grateful look-these are all in all Il
a real, true woman's life.
All she asks in return for givinl
