The Temple a S
troll.

All who are in favor of the weak
and oppressed receiving justice are
compelled to sympathize with Leo
Temple, the young nan sentenced to
be hung next, Monday. If his story
is true, he has not had a semblance
of a trial, and if his attorney be-
lieved he could get him out of the
trouble for ten dollars, the case Of
the defense must have been very
weak.
The report sent out from Memphis
to the effect that the court officials
there had petitioned the Governor to
let the law take its curse should
not have any weight in the case. If
Temple was %railroaded through the
court at Memphis as he has repeat
eddy said he was, the judges and Off
Gals of that court would naturally
be averse to the light being turned
on their shady actions.
Leo Temple is a poor, friendless
boy, and has very little education.
He says he stopped school in the
second grade. He does not look like
a criminal, and those who have come
in contact with him constantly
since he has been in Jail here do not
believe he is guilty of the crime as
charged. Life is sweet to him, and
if the state permits him to be put
to death without giving him a chance
to prove his innocence, it will be 6
blight on them. Leo Temple says
he is a Christian and is ready Il
die, but insists that he is innocent

DEMOCRATIC UNCERTAINTY.

AS to who will get the presidential
nomination to be awarded by the
Democratic national convention is as
big an uncertainty at this time as ever
has prevailed in the politics of these
United States. Certain it is that none
of the several candidates now openly
in the field will go to Baltimore with
the votes of enough delegates in his
knapsack to walk off with the nomi-
nation on the first ballot
Under a time honored rule with the
Democrats it takes a vote of two
thirds of the delegates to make a
nomination. There will be 1892 dele
gates in the convention. So the man
that succeeds in winning the nomtna-
ton must have 726 votes. Not can
didate now in the limelight has the
least possible chance of going into
the convention with that number of
votes.
According to a recent tabulatlon'
which can be taken as being approx
mately correct, 416 delegates to the
Baltimore convention have already
been chosen. Including the 80 from
New York state, lis of them are un-
instructed. Conceding the 20 Kan
sas delegates to Champ Clark. which
is open to question, the man from
Missouri has so far obtained ia
delegates. Professor Wilson has liz.
Governor Marshall of Indiana has 80;
and Governor Burke of South Da-
kota has 10. Oscar W. Underwood
has the solid Alabama delegation or
22 instructed to vote for him until q
nomination shall have been made.
Governor Harmon of Ohio, who has
been prominently mentioned as a
Democratic presidential possibility for
a. long time, has not obtained a single
delegate. He will have the solid Ohio

be divided up pretty evenly among

latter is almost sure to make strong

southern states besides his own This

SAYS UNCLE CIV

Do not arrogate to yourself supe-
riority to moral law. He who thus
breaks the law is himself broken.
Moral laws are wisdom distilled by
titled into social canons by long
usage. He who trifles with them
picks up a two edged sword by the
blade.
A moral law is nobody's whin.
Neither is it an incident. 1t is the
product of evolution and it is build
ed as solidly as the rock beneath the
eternal hills Behind it is the united
whatever may be the sins of it's indi-
vidual members, is as a whole deter
mined to protect itself.
1t is not hypocrisy upon the part of
society to. cast out it's members de-
tected in offenses that it knows 9TH
erS as yet unpublished to be guilty of.
1t is this instinct of preservation
working itself out through the strict
and unerring enforcement Of the NOR
al canon. This is as natural as ward
ing off a blow-as natural as breath
ing. Because it is natural and be-
cause it is the force of unified society
striking blow for itself, no man,
high or low, can transgress a moral
law without danger. Society acts
slowly, but it is the mill of the gods
that grinds exceeding small. It pulls
down a fraud today and nails a trans
gressor to the cross of ignominy to-
morrow. 1t may ignore your short
comings for time, and divert itself
by Furnishing your neighbor but soon
er or later, it's eyes are fixed upon you
and you cannot escape the reckoning.
And even as its moral laws are not
the results of whims, but of age long
evolutions, so with the justice of So
ciety. To invoke it, no mans i'll will
or displeasure is necessary-th i'll
viii and the displeasure come, but the
instrument does not matter. Some
times society sets these phenomena of
justice in motion in your direction
Once in motion, the end is sure. And
society can no more spare you than it
can purge itself utterly of it's general
sins. The old pagans called this fate,
but we know it under the more ra-
tionaI name of justice-and, If you
please, evolutionary justice.-(Copy-

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Whoever paves the way for tyranny
thereby helps to make a tyrant, and is,
therefore, partially responsible for his Gre
atoms tyranny.
The man who fails to take an intel
hgent interest in government and to do
what he can to make a good government,
paveS the way for bad government and
is partially responsible for the evils which
result.
The parent who is ever ready to give
in to the whimS, and pamper the tastes,
and bow to the moods, of the
daughter of the family thereby helps to
make the child the self centered, exacting
tyrant which he is likely to become, and
is partially responsible for the tyranny
under which the home suffers, and the
wrong prospective from which the child
will ultimately suffer.
IT declare, don't know what to do with
Arleen,'' writes one of my correspondents,
in regard to her sixteen-year-o daugh-
ter; ''She grows more thoughtlesS and
self-centered and exacting every day. 1t
really seems If the harder I try to
please her, the more exacting and domi-
neering and dissatisfied she GETS I'm
doubtedly, my friend Quite without
knowing it, you have put your finger right
on the cause of all your trouble. The
ter, the more she will expect of you
that you should do nothing on earth but
try to please her. The more abjectly you
enslave yourself to her, the more domi-
neering she will command her abject
slave. Nor is she so very much to blame.
1t is hardly il human nature to refuse
hands or not to be exacting when some
one is ready and eager to fulfill those
exactions
Tt is told of an overworked farmers
wife, with a family consisting OF her
husband and five sons, that when she
collapsed in the kitchen one hot day, and
the village nurse was hastily called in,
the latter found six little bean-pots siz-
zling away in the oven. For the land rs
saker' she inquired. Whats all these
bean-pots for?' "Oh" gasped the farm
er's wife, ''you see, father won't have
any molasses in his beans, and John likes
'em full of r1olasses; Frank vows he can't
eat 'em with molasses. but has to have
little onion; Gideon wants lots of pork,
and Tom won't eat pork, and little Alec"
but the nurse without waiting to hear
what little Alec liked. slammed the door,
and retired to the kitchen. There, it Is
stated, she at once smashed those SIX
bean-pots, substituted mammoth pot
which she filled with beans and mo-
lasses and pork and onions, ALLOWING
to herself that that family would eat
their beans that way or not at all. Need
less to say they ate them.
Doubtless these five sons Weer good
hearted folk and very fond of the little
wife and mother. But she had so long
paved the way of tyranny that they could
hardly help being tyrants-
There is an infinite number of such
mothers in the world, and few such
fathers They mean so well, but they
do so much harm, not only to themselves,
bI1t also to those for whom all their
sacrifices are made!
Are you one of these tyrant makers?

THE TITANIC DISASTER.

Out on the ocean Deep
Far on the broad Atlantic,
There sailed the monster ship,
The giant boat Titanic.
She was loaded with people of wealth
Some of whose name bore fame
Perhaps some were seeking health,
And some their pleasure or gain.
Bounding and speeding along
Through iceberg's chilling blast,
The night was dark and cold,
And danger nearing fast.
Suddenly there came crash
That reused. the peoples slumbers,
The ship was wrecked and sinking
With souls in great number.
Down with the lfeboats quick!
The women and children save,
Ordered the ships commander,
LAS men we must be brave.
Many farewells were spoken,
And brave men tried to smile,
To cheer departing loved ones
On the ocean waves so wild.
Not lost! Oh no, not lost.
Those brave men who went down
They surely are in heaven
With stars in their crowns,
Singing that same sweet song
Nearer My God to Thee,
AS they played those soft sweet strains
Waited out on the icy sea.
