The vagaries of justice are illustrated by the
verdicts of two juries in New York city recently.
One Jury assessed damages at Sl750 for the loss
of life and the other assessed damages at Sl2770
for a brokenleg. There are reasons why the death
of one person may be greater financial loss than
that of another but it is almost nconceivabe that
there should be just reason for so wide variance

Washington, Feb. 23.-Presidenl
Taft regards AS "unpatriotic" the dis

He expressed that opinion before

The president characterized this
branch of the national defense as a
prime necessity for war
''If ever the country Is called To
war" he said I'VE woulu need moro
light artillery and because congress
has recognized this, Ii has provided
guns, but not enough, to be used IN
the national guard of different

There is I'm some quarters. DIS

the ma ational guard. That Is unpatri-
otic and ought to be frowned upon.
Every man who enlists should be
made TO feel that he is preparing ms
country for possible emergency.
The men applauded and one OF the
officers thanked the president for his
informal visit.
