Justice is Blind!

There seems to be something wrong with the
"weghts and measures of justice, with the hand
that holds the scales and metes out the punishment
As long as criminals are to be punished, so long
should evil-doers be punished equitably.
The goddess of justice is pictured as blind but
it does sometimes that the lady is also deaf and
dumb armess, asleep, paralyzed and possessed of
wooden leg.
The inequality of the Justice emanating from
courts is well illustrated in two cases recently
tried.
In Illinois one man was acquitted of the murder
of young girl whose bullet-riddled body found
in Peoria Gill; hotel, to which she had been taken
by the man to whom she had given all that woman
can give-her honor. He had taken her from her
home to tell her that their intimacy must cease and
that instead of marrying her, he had at one time
promised to do he brutally informed her that an
other would be his bride.
He left her. The girl, life wrecked and honor
lost killed herself The man was NOT GUILTY in
the eyes of the law
But when we come to the other case we note how
the law does punish-for some crimes. In New
York court, on the same day, young man was SEN
fenced to spend 80 years in the state penitentary
FOR TRYING TO STEAL $1,000 from wealthy
mans house.
That was burglary The law punished burglary
Of gold and sver-or toothpicks They are prop
erty The courts protect property with diligence
worthy of commentator.
But the burglary of young girls honor is a diff
ferent matter altogether.
And driving her into suicides grave after
wards is not killing her-in the eyes of the law.
There would be less "white slaveo traffic to In
vestigate were womans honor property, and
the burglar of it awarded his full measure OF punish
ment.

lof the park bonds. There Is just
one way to find out. and that is
for Mr.. Smell to resign and again
let the board submit the question

Hundreds OF men Tuesday said
that they would vote for the bonds
under ordinary conditions, but
that they would never vote pen
my to the park board as long as
Mr.. Smell was a member.
The next thing that helped to
defeat the bonds was the lack OF
voting precincts where the peo-

the people chance and let Mr..
Smell resign and the taxpayers will

when the meal was ready, we
all sat down together. At the
first taste, however, the absence
of salt was clearly discernible.
There was but one shaker on the
table. the one I had polished, and
I kept this at my right hand and
waited. There we all sat, the son
and uncles scowling at the wife,
and all eating the unseasoned food
with some disrelish. Presently
the wife reached out her hand,
took the shaker, and sprinkled her
food literally, and my heart gave
a little leap, for j was now posi-
tive of her innocence. But when
the son snatched the shaker from
her and shook out salt over his
own plate, I was amazed. He
passed the shaker to his uncles.
