how DR.. Nye kept out of it. He
was afraid to be drawn out by
some skilled lawyer. Gov. Har-
mon wants to compel all such al
legged offenders to testify in their

There is certainly no injustice in
it.
Such remedies are worthy of

ineffective. We need something
to make citizens positively good
to inspire men and women with
love of country, love of God, and
love of themselves.
Long ago it was said, Make
the tree good, and its fruit will

The courts may deal with
wrong acts, and the speedier
they move the better, but the
