Press Comment
On Handling Firearms.

There has been so much said in
st, Louis of late abaut the Boy
Scouts in America that II is interest
ing to come across some of the rules
laid down in a new book by Ernest
Thompson Seton, boy Scouts in
America. "
Here are some of the rules re-
ferred to:
No one under IA years of age
should be allowed the use of gun
or pistol.
Tn didn't know-it-w loaded fool
is the cause of more sorrow than the
deliberate murderer.
For any scout to point a firearm
at any one is a crime. If he didn't
know it was loaded, he should be
still more severely punished.
Never let the muzzle of the gun
sweep the horizon.
Never carry gun full cooked or
hammer down The half-cock is
made for safety. Use it.
Never pull gun by the muzzle.
Never shoot at anything about
which you are in doubt.
1t is not to be inferred, from a
perusal of these rules, that the boy
Scouts are taught nothing except the
proper care of firearms. That is
only an incidental part of their teach
ing. On the whole, they are simply
taught to do, sensible and properly,
those things which real men ought to
know how to do, when they get out
side the boundaries of the city, and
away from their homes,
But in view of the countless acct
dents which have to be reported
every year in the UnitedStates, as a
result of the inefficient training OF
youth, it seems to us very well worth
while for Mr.. Seton to have written
his instructions TO the Scouts, and
we believe his book, and the instruc-
tons he gives, will do great deal
of good, If worthy people will not
insist upon misunderstanding the
author and his book.-St. Louis
Times.

"The Jury Flunked. I"

THE court did it's duty, but the
Jury as usual funked." With
this expressive sentence an Eastern
Kentucky newspaper concludes it's
report of murder trial The case
was particularly heinous one. A
man was tried for the murder of his
aunt an, aged woman. The proof
was complete and convincing. No
defense was offered. The defendant
did not go on the witness stand and
he had no alibi to offer--no shadow
of any sort of plea in abatement.
1t was a case which called for cap
ital punishment, but 1.-The jury funk
ed" and brought in verdict of life
imprisonment.
Now a verdict of l'fe imprison-
ment gives the prisoner a chance.
While there is life there is hope It
may be that a pardon will open the
doors of the penitentiary. Such
things do take place and not infre-
quently. That gives the murderer
an opportunity to kill somebody else.
The man who has the blood lust In
his heart sufficiently strong to com
nit wilful murder should be made to
pay the exteme penalty Otherwise
we should abolish the electric chair
and there should be one power, exc
cutiye or otherwise. to take such a
criminal from behind the peniten
tary walls so long as there is life
in his body.
"The court did its duty" The
courts as a rule, do their duty. 1t
Is the judges business to see that a
defendant has a fair trial no matter
what the charge against him. 1t
is the Commonwealth Attorneys
task to represent the State in the
prosecution. Kentucky judges usu-
ally preside with fairness and the
Commemorative attorneys do not
shirk their duty or neglect their
work, When justice fails it is most

TRY THIS CR0CHETED MOTIF

This motif can be made In various
sizes by increasing the number OF
each set OF stitches. remembering to
keep them In the same proportion
throughout.
In all crocheting keep the work
even and do not pull the stitch at one
time and have 1t loo.e again. To look
well. all crocheting should be tight.
