American Murder Record Appalling.

Nashville Banner.
The murder record of the United
States is appealing and fearfully dis
credlting to this country when com
pared with that of other countries.
Over 5000 homicides and murders
are committed in this country an
nually, and the percentage of pun
ishments for murder is very much
lower than in Great Britain, Ger
many and other European countries.
Statistical calculations show that in
the United States there are 115 hon.
lcides or murders to every million oil
population, while in Italy, the home
of the Malta and the Black Hand, the
rate is 105 to the million. In Ger
many the number of murders is only
ID to the million of population; in
France it is Only 1899, and In Great
Britain and Ireland it is ~.
This discredting disparity is even
more marked in the matter of the
administration of justice in the pun.
ishment of the murderers. In this
country less than 2 per cent of the
murderers are legally executed, while
in Great Britain one homicide in ev-
cry four is hanged, and q large pei
cent of the Others is punished by i'm
prisonment. In Germany one out
OF every three murderers is executed
but in the United States not one
homicide IN 80 is hanged.

Appearance At Home.

Don't say that it doesn't matter
how you look around the house, for
it does matter good deal 1t mat
tiers in its establishment, of which
the feminine head is the creditable
or questionable representative; it
matters IN its example to the chill
dren aud to the help, it matters to
the husband and father, who usually.
if he is half a man, feels sense of
pride IN the appearance of his family.
t is poor encouragement to him to
find confusion and careessness in
dress aud waste and destruction run
ming riot about the dwelling. 1t is
one of the lnpprtlnt duties of every
woman to keep herself aud her house
in a condition as presentable as pos.
sible, considering her circumstances.

Greatest Power For Good Known.

A Clipping.
The newspaper of today is the null
tiplied echo of the words voice. 1t is
not one of the wonders of the world,
it is all the wonders of the world
combined. 1t is the greatest power
for good that history has eyer known,
though now and then some foolish
or fanatlcal individual declares it to
BE- the inspiration of the deyil. an H.
lustrated and illuminated guide to
the underworld.
THE system of news gathering is
remarkably fascinating. There is
not business or profession in the
world having in its midst men pos
sessing more intelligence, energy and
bravery or where you will find more
enthusiastic workers. If one gets
the news gathering germ in his blood
ne probably never fully RECEIVERS
from it. When you hear of "a news
paper man entering another profess
sion he leaves reluctantly. AS he
pursues his new vocation the enthusi-
assn of news gathering remains in
his system, and when the occasion
arises it bursts out with the old fire
of intensity. Ii is the ever changing,
then always something new that APP
peals to him.

Public Smoking A Peraicious Habit.

Collins Commercial.
This habit has been called to our
attention very forcibly on two occa-
sions recently and each time the la
dies who we're sitting near us were
very much annoyed by the odor OF
the smoke, but all they could do was
10 fan and frown and endure the dis
agreeable tobacco smoke produced by
thoughtless men.
Now gentlemen, if this useless hab-
it has gotten such hold on you that
you can t leave 1t off for an hour or
two wien in the presence OF ladies,
you are in dangerous condition and
you ought to do something to get the
cursed stuff out of your system. Try

jures you. We think you will sur

Rascally and scoundrelly people for
the most part come from einiauitous
homes, from undisciplined homes.
Parents harsh and cruel on the one
hand, or on the other hand, loose in
their government wickedly loose in
their governments are raising up a
generation of vipers. A home where
seolding and fretfulness are domina-
ted is blood relation to the gallows
and the jail. Petulance is a serpent
that crawls up in the family nursery
sometimes and brushes everything.
Why, there are parents who even
make religion disgusting to their
children. They scold them for not
putting in all their time at church or
some church gathering. They have
an exaspcrating way Of doing their
duty.

Newspaper Should Really Help Jurors.

Publishers Auxiliary.
On the broad proposition that be-
cause men are well-posted on a GER
tain case, civil or criminal, they may
be prejudiced, the GU. s. Supreme
court takes emlnently sensible view
that too much knowledge is not a
dangerous thing, and the same juror,
after all, will carefully consider the
evidence legally presented and render
his verdict strictly under the law.
After all, says the ST. Louis Star,
the properly conducted newspaper
merely seeks after the truth and pre-
sents it to the public. LAWYERS,
however, have opposed this proceed
ure, because they realize that where
their cause is not backed up by jus

Pardoning Board Must Be Created.

MdSnOild OazeJJe.
The next legislature should give
to Mississippi pardo1ing board and
take out of the hands of the execu-
tive a power whose temptation to
use for personal promotion is very
hard to resist. That one man should

Certainly there are times when elem
ency should be used but in such cases
a pardoning board would see their
duty clearly. In our country there
is growing contempt for law. No
one cause contributes to it more
than the abuse of this power in the
