We have simply done our best and
hope to so continue as long as we can
We expect to make mistakes-we ex-
pect to be criticised-but that doesn't
matter. Mistakes mark us as men,
and we have no Angelic desires. Ii
matters not what we are quoted as
saying, but what we say that will count
in the end; it is not by what we are
accused OF doing, but by what we do
that the world will finally judge us.
We staxsd little 4 page, E column
sheet on January 76th. In our 18th
issue we reached six pages the next
week eight pages and with the call for
advertising space that can be baked
up we have been able to continue SO
far.
In connection with out Commence
ment edition we got out an industrial
section which has been, considering
Our experience, spoken OF in most
fattering terms. Boards OF Trade and
institutions outside OF Newark have
complimented us on that issue, and
also the page devoted to Newark pos
sibilities. And glance at our adver-
tisers and our subscription list make
us feel proud,
1t has been and will continue to be
our aim in spite OF all accusations, to
have said some day, We'll, at least he
was worth while"
We do not wish TO fly any flag (nor
any banner) but we will say this, that
we are holding some trade that here
tofore has left town, having done work
within a 100 mile circle-and soine say
it is good printing.
With all this we have not said what
we want to say. We can not express
our appreciation for the good words
and support that has come to us. And
our enemies-we thank you too--you
have helped to hold us true.
With no play to the gallery we wish
to earn a living in Newark, do Our
small part toward its welfare, toward
Good roads, flowers, parks, better
schools, trees, pure water, tresn air
and sunshine, and work for evryoody.'
AS expressed in our first issue, we
still have the desire OF Lincoln, when
he said:

"JustifabLe in tho Eyes of
Cod'
BY Rev. Madison C. Peters, Pastor Of
The Peoples Church, Chicago.

m HE taking of human life, except In
self-defense, is never justifiable
in the eyes OF the law; but con-
tingencies sometimes arise where such
an act is justifable in the eyes of
God. To my mind. the MacDowell
case was one Of them.
The fine feelings which every man
has for his fellow man, the still finer
feelings which a husband bears for q
wife, he sacrificed on the altar of love.
James MacDowell did what every
right-thinking man believes ought to
be done in such q case, but which
very few would find the courage to
do.
But though I have nothing but
praise and admiration for this man,
realize the great danger which lies
In countenancing the. deliberate ta-
king of human life under any consid-
erations.
This same obstacle is met with in
the consideration of another phase Of
the same questionable disposition Of
the newborn babe who Is physically
deformed or mentally deficient. Should
these little ones be put away or
should they be permitted to develop
into lifelong cripples or idiots? II It
were possible to regulate and safe
guard the disposal Of the adult who
is suffering from an absolutely In
durable and agonizing disease and the
baby who is born to life Of torture
in such a way that 1t could not be
subjected to abuse, should be in
clined to say that, In the cause Of 7hu-
manity. an end should be put to such
suffering.
K 1 believe the time will come when
the problem will be solved in this
way.
The L'Anse sentinel., 1910-10-29

defense that H. killed his wife because
she was suffering from an incurable
disease and begged him to shorten her
life.
Like hypnotism. II IL capable Of
good uses and bad. and we have more
reason to fear the bad than to hope
for general benefits from the good. I
have lived long enough and mingled
enough with, humanity to have reached
the conclusion that there are more bad
people than good In the world. There
are many persons who, while not bad,
are not actively good. SO their infiu-
ence Is the same.

They were two days march from
the nearest help. Mcdowell faced a
clear-cut problem of three sides.
Should he sit beside his wife and
let her suffer her torture until death
came? should he hopelessly start
away for assistance. leaving her to
face death at the fangs,of the wolves
which were circling about them?
Or should he kill her?
Mcdowell, after hours of anguish,
shot his wife through the head.
Is James Mcdowell to be con-
demned as q murderer or to be ac-
claimed as a hero? On this page is
his clean-cut narrative Of his ex-
periepce to gd1de his judgment. And
here is the scenario of his tragedy:
Among McDowell's intimate chums
is John Crawford. also miner and
prospector. Crawford has pretty
daughter, bright, vivacious, coura-
geous girl of the real northwestern
type. Mcdowell has watched the girl
from the cradle up. and when she is
twenty-five he marries her.

tension of the Cascade range, and

on the opening morning:

performances, although never without
display OF obstreperousnsss on the
part of one or two of her vicious pets,

tive action on the part Of Mile. Essie
who will no doubt some day meet with
serious injury as a result of their dis
ike of obedience.
Mile. Olga. the equine trainer, and
her band Of educated Shetlunds and
Herr Bonnie Krause never fail TO win
their share OF favor and applause and
the exhibition as a whole is said to
hc the largest and best travelling on
this continent.
Mile Christine the famous Caro-
lima twin, is called the eighth wonder
of the world. She has been q cele-
brity in every civilized country on the
globe and Is as much OF an attraction
today as she was twenty years ago

OF all visitors at any Of the qnarries
OF the Genuine Bangor; Slate Co, Of

The slate is quarried from large
openings in the ground from $50 TO

long wire cables, supported by der

One Of the most impressive sights
