EDITORIAL.

A LOCAL correspondent propounds a few queries.
The first one is as follows IF steals, but does
not get caught, is he honest?' According to law
person may steal everything in sight and as long as
he is not detected, caught, if caught, not prose
outed he is honest. According to all religious tenets
such person is dishonest and will not inherit the
Kingdom of Heaven.
The second query is this: IF man steals a
loaf of bread to keep himself from starving, is he
thief" In the eyes of the law, at this time, yes
According to religious inculcation and teaching, no.
In the days of the Romans stealing things to eat was
not crime The Romans who had superabun-
dance of things to eat shared their ovepus with less
fortunate neighbors No Romans were ever i'm
prisoned for taking things to eat without leave The
result of this practice hardy race-at one time
the greatest and post powerful in the world
The last question follows: eff subordinate Of
ficer in the army navy is ordered to do certain
thing by superior knowing that it is wrong and
does it contrary to orders and is successful can he
be oourtmartialed for dlsobedence of orders?" If
superior officer gives command, whether right OF
wrong, it must be obeyed. If a subordinate officer
receives instructions which he knows to be wrong and
which will prove unsuccessful he is in duty bound
to carry them out. On the other hand, if subord
nate refuses to carry out the orders of a superior
which would prove to be failure and substitutes hi
own ideas and is successful he is subject to court
record, however, of any General, Admiral superio
furnishing subordinate for being successful
where the superior's orders were overridden.
IT is unpopular to cashier courage coupled wit
success.
