He says that the young woman has
studied too much ever since she was
a girl and is suffering from melan-
cholia, but Will be herself again after
a little rest and quiet
1t is a common plea and has been
effective many a time. But In this
case the merchant declines to accept
the explanation and insists upon
prosecution.
People afflicted with melancholia
of that dangerous sort and needing
rest and quiet as cure ought to
find it in jail. There is provided pre-
cisely the rest and quiet prescribed by
law and usage for such cases.
When well-to-do people get dis
honestly things that do not belong to
them 1t is said in extenuation of guilt
that they are kleptomaniacs or are
suffering from melanch and dis
ordered minds. When poor people are
transgressors they are called thieves.
The one becomes an invalid, the other
a convict.
One wonders IL the poor and needy
are never to be permitted to have
melancholia-
Is it the want. the need. that makes
the dividing line between kleptomania
and thievery? Are disordered minds
never to be found among the poor?
The well-to-do, It is said, have no
motive for stealing. All the worse
crime then. The poor devil who steals
because he needs has motive and
an excuse. But the one who has no
need and steals for the mere sake of
stealing and defrauds for the mere
excitement of defrauding has no ex-
cuse whatever.
If justice were not blind she would
sometime require rich thieves to be
tried before juries instead of by ply
sicians in the pay Of the accused.
She might, too, sometimes let poor
thief go because she is melancholic.

plunged overheard with line, and in
the boiling sea swan a mile to shore,
splintering his leg on the rocky reefs.
But he delivered the line into the
hands of the life-saving service, and
ships cable was quickly drawn
ashore and his comrades saved.
Restoratives were applied to him
and the reaction came SO suddenly
after his two hours in the chilly water
that the muscles of his throat were
ruptured and ever afterwards he talk
ed like a typical sea dog.
In the San Francisco earthquake he
was stationed at the Mare Island navy
yard and rendered signal service in
aiding the paralyzed inhabitants to es-
cape to safety.
There are many old friends in the
navy who will fittingly say of him:
I'VE shall not look upon his like

great hue and cry has been going
up from both branches of the Repub-
licans during the campaign because
Governor woodrow Wilson once ex-
pressed an opinion that all classes of
immigrants do not make desirable
citizens. It will be noticed that the
wouId-be assassin of former Presiden.
Roosevelt is an unbaked foreigner.
President McKinleys assassin was an
anarchistic foreigner with an unpro-
nounceable name. Truth is our immf-
grafton laws are too lax and too many
embryonic assassins and other Grim
inals get into this country.

The efforts Of the so-called Pro-
pressfves or Bull Moose people to
cheat the Florida Democrats out of
the electoral votes, resulted only in
a little scare. The lesson taught
however. by the incident is this: In
many states, in fact in most states,
this righteous party seeks advantage
through technicalities rather than by
an honest appeal for votes. In plain
English these technicalities consist
of chicanery. trickery, fraud and va
rious underhand methods that are
neither fair nor honest.

Work OF DaStardly MiScreant.

One night last week, presuma-
bic Sunday night, some low
down, miserable sneak entered
the orchard of George Dye, on
Leading Creek, and peeled about
two hundred young apple trees
from the limbs 10 the ground.
The orchard was a comparatively
young one and nearly all the
trees were heavily laden with
perfect fruit. Several young
trees which were just planted
this spring were broken down.
Mr.. Dye did not have occasion
to go to the orchard until some
time Monday when he discovered
the damage. He Immediately
telephoned for the bloodhounds,
but on account of heavy rain
which fell Sunday night after
the work was done, the. hounds
were unable to follow the track.
The loss is a heavy one to Mr..
Dye, as the orchard was one of
the finest in that part Of the
county, the trees being wisely
selected and scientifically cultiva-
ted. 1t is to be hoped that suf-
ficient evidence will come to light
to bring the guilty wretches to
justice.
