JOBS, or get better ones, resorted to
every scandalous method to browbeat
witnesses, exclude testimony and
bring about conviction, and this
eagerness was as plain on the bench
as on the part of the prosecuting of
iicers and the machievellan manipu-
lators behind the scenes. Attorneys
OF repute at the bar say they never
witnesses such conduct or such UNI
FAIRNESS as shown by Judge Amidon
IN a United States court before. That
with all the titanic forces of the gov
ernment welded so desperately by
Nlndlctive and unfair officials, it was
impossible to convict Mr.. Lewis is the
strongest possible testimony to his in
hocence of the charges brought
against him.-St. Louis Star.

The lifeboat may be an old fash
toned continuance and not a fine piece
of furniture to have numbering the
rooms of the modern floating palaces,
but in case of a wreck the fact as to
whether or not the boats are available
is a paramount issue. a little less
style and more provision for safety
would have averted the terrible loss
of life on the Titanic,

While anybody can run farm and
make a living, the demand of the
hour is for men who can run a farm
and develop surplus for feeding of
the multitudes. 1t is only in increas-
ing the visible supply that the country
can hope to be saved from the in
creased and increasing high cost OF
living. We are depending too much
on the man on the soil to have him
Indifferent or incompetent. The re-
sponsibiity of maintaining and sup
porting a large population depends
rectly upon the ability of the man on
the farm to bring and hold the soil to
its maximum of productivity. The
farming job will soon be taken out OF
the hands of the unfit and given over
to the highly competent.

Political feuds are as bad as any
other kind and the Ratchet men that
are going about over the country now
engaged in the assassination of char
acter are very certain in the end to
meet with the condemnation of
thoughtful fair-minded men. In a
campaign of education there is no
need for the undertaking of character.
The issues before the people are big
enough to be met, and fairly met,
without dragging personalities into
the mire. Those who have pitched
the level of their campaign along this
line have under-e estimated the sober
judgment of American citizens. Per-
sonal abuse has no place in a TWEEN
tieth century campaign in the fore
most republic of the world.

There is mutiny on board the
steamship Olympic, sister ship to the
Titanic, and it was occasoned be-
cause the seamen refused to leave the
harbor at Southampton unless better
lifeboats were provided. The men
have been arrested and will be tried
for mutiny in the English courts. 1t
will be very interesting in the present
state of public feeling over the losses
sustained by the civilized world to see
what an English court will do with
men who, knowing that they are
asked to risk their lives, refuse to
leave port till they are properly safe
guarded for the voyage. The law may
be against them, but will public senti-
ment or the courts sustain the letter
of the law in the face of the fearful
results of the recent disaster?
