Blacksmith Justice

From the Washington Herald.
 Since Benson Perrie Mcdaniel, tho blacksmith justice. has been elected to tho magistrates bench in oxen Hill, Prince George county, Md. there hasn't been a single reported violation of the automo- bile laws of the state. There's a reason for this.
 The blacksmith judge has done away with a regular court room. He uses pages of law books to light his forge fires. and he rarely if ever shows any dispo- sition to inflict a punishment except upon the hard common sense"
 Now it happens that the residents of Prince George county-a majority at least favor the death penalty for speeding automobists. Ask any farmer what he thinks of man who rides fast on the road and his reply is:
 "He ought to be hung
 'Ten with law" Benton Perrie Me- Daniel is quoted as having said recently. what I'm going to give is justice
 And. as his justice is moted out from Prince George county point of view, it is easy to understand why the autoists are becoming bashful.

Dad

From the London Chronicle
 Dad" and daddy were well known in this country in the sixteenth century,: "papa" did not come in, borrowed from abroad, until the seventeenth century was well advanced. Florio, at the end of the former century, defined the Italian "pappa" as ''the first word that children are taught to call their father. as ours say dad 'daddie or 'bab.' " Dad" seems to be the commoner to mankind of the two. Nausicaa in tn. odyssey calls her father ''pappa phile.' dear papa: but Greek had ''tata'' also, and Welsh has 'tet,' and Irish "daid.'

Mayor Makes a Plea
that Voters Turn Out
Strong to Register

Mayor James C. Dahlman. in a procla-
nation issued yesterday afternoon. makes
a plea for an honest election and a nu-
merous registration today. Men of great
wealth and experience In politics are try
ing to wrest the administration from the

There is confronting us a great battle
for the municipal control OF Omaha for
the next three years, and every man who
earns his living by the sweat OF mis- brow,
every man VINO works In the shops, or
stores. or on the streets: every man who
believes that the plain people should have
voice In administering the affairs OF
our city should be registered, that he
may vote one week from Tuesday next
for the protection Of his own interests.
Remember that the man who wears the
oNeralls has Just as much right under
the law, and greater need for having his
friends In control OF the city admlnistra-
ton than the silkstockings on the nills
And l urge every one OF my friends to
assert his rights as free American cat
izen at the registration places today and
at the polls at the coming election and
to do his share to see that every citizen
rights are protected, and that we have
an honest election. Remember that the
election may De corrupted in high places
as we'll as low. and that men with great
wealth and experience In politics are to-
day trying to wrest the administration
from the plain people Of Omaha.
For SIX years you and have STOOD to-
gether to make Omaha a bigger and bet

another. -lall we fail in our duty now7

With an unanimous decision OF the
judges in their favor. the members Of the
Omaha High school debating team. up.
holding the negative Of the much-mooted
immigration question, closed the 1913 sea-
son at Creighton university auditorium

laws should be so amended as to exclude
all immigrants over a years OF age who
are unable TO read and write"
By virtue of the outcome the local
school is entitled to hold the handsome
silver trophy cup donated by the local
alumni association OF Amherst college
for yearly competition between the two
schools. Lincoln won the cup in the first
contest In 1910. and as no debate was held

its credit. Three successive wins will
mean permanent possession.
For two hours the debaters threshed out
the pros and cons about the immigrants
who come to this country. much to the
satisfaction of good sized audience Of

one speaker occupied the platform his
opponents were kept busy noting flaws
in his argument that might furnish
grounds for snappy reDuttal.
kulakofs<y Makes Hit.
Barney Kulskofsky, the second speaker
for the local squad, proved the most
clever and interesting talker of the occa-
sion. His argument was devoid Of pom
derous words and lengthy statistics, and
instead was full of throbbing twentieth
century conditions that were pictured In
concise and sometimes even humorous
fashion. George Grimes and Edwin Lam
dale. the other representatives for the
capitol hill boys, brought out some strong
points and were especially strong on re-
buttal
Frederick Macdonald Of the visiting
team proved adept at quoting prominent
men. Robert Albright and Arthur Acker-
man were the other speakers for the Lam
caster county squad.
The judges Of the affair were George
C. Martin. superintendent Of schools. Ne
ent OF schools, Blair. and Allen R Cong
don. principal Of the Fremont High
