The above quotation by Christ Of the
words of the Old Testament has a great
value apart from tho common use
which Is made OF such passages In
connection with the evidences OF the
Bible. The Old Testament was tho
preparatory, the New is the perfect
book. In the former. man was work

ter. God works directly, taking His
p!nce among men in the person of His
Son, teaching and guiding by His own
presence. Every one of these lines OF
quotation running between tho Testa-
ments is but ono of multitude of
golden chords which hold tho ifo OF

snrauccs OF that truth whose supremc
revelation was given us In the Yncar-
nation of our Rcdeemer. This truth,
which makes so much of the life OF
the R!hlc. Is peculiarly evident IN tho
words of our text. Christ was In the
midst of His mysterious temptation
when the tcmpter. with his devilish
cunning. made his appeal: 'Ir Thou

A Tragedy and 1t. Lesson.

To contrast tho Beattte trial with
such travestlcs and vaudeville perform.
ances as the Thaw trial in New York
serves TO put Virginia and her courts
and juries In such light as she well
may rejoice to have cast upon them.
To contrast that case with many
criminal cases tried In Texas. notably
the Burrell oates case. Is to cause
every Texan to blush with shame, and
to wish that Texas had such record
as Virginia has furnished to the
world
The grand old State has added an
other to the list of illustrations which
she has given the world that her peo-
pie live on lofty ideals: that her courts
are never turned into show places
wherein ingenious and rcsourceful law
yers display their professional ability
as legal acrobats; that technlcalitles
and quibbles are not allowed to thwart
and defeat the ends OF Justice: but
that tho dignity of tho courts and tho
majesty of the law and the sanctity
of human Iifo are evor kept In view
and that the Judges hand is always
on the helm.
The Court of Appeals did not make
microscopic examination to see whether
the Judge had failed to dot an al" or
cross q "t," or whether, In the stress
and strain of tho trial. some piece OF
evidence Of possibly doubtful admissi-
bility had been allowed to be heard
by the Jury. but, as 1t should havo
done, looked only to see whether the
jury was justified In finding the YER
dict which II rendered.
This Is not tho only case In which
Virginia has made such a record. A
few years ago a man OF oven higher
social position than WAS Beattie. and
who was not only a leading lawyer
of his town, but also its Mayor. was
convicted of the murder of hfs wife
and hanged In the town OF which he
stood as a leading citizen.
What has been done in Virginia. and
SO well done. and go Justly done. can
be done in tho same way In Texas, and
ought to be. -Four months and scven
days elapsed between the murder of a
wife and the expiration OF the crime

The Buchanan News has largely
summarized and published the main
advantages of good roads in Il very at
tractivc way. The News asks: Had
you ever thought that among many
ether advantages, improved and we'll
kept public roads would invariably
bring such results as the following?
Better schools and greater attend ;
ance
Better health and quicker medical
attention.
Better farms and more cultivated
land.
Better crops and cheaper transpcr-
tation.
Better economic conditions and
moro producers. .
Better social conditions and less
isolation.
Better church attendance and bet
ter citizens.
More attractions for farm life and
fewer removals to the cities.
More able and well-traincd young
men for tho farms. and less crowdng
the so-called high professions.
Moro fine and comfortable vehicles
and fewer clumsy, wrecked carriages
and fewer lkilled-up. WORKOUT stock
