A Vital Bond.

Secretary Knox expressed a thought
at Panama which cannot be too otter
nor too earnestly repeated when ht
said that the Monroe Doctrine would
reach its highest benefeencc-and. he
might have added, its highest efficiency
when il was regarded by the people
of the United States as a reason foI
their prompt and unfailing response
to the needs of Latin-American states
which might require assistance to-
ward better government or toward the
meeting of the just obligations of gov
eminent. In other words. the doctrine
is not to be a mere formal cayeat, but
Il vital bond of sympathy between this
country and its neighbors.

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU
CARRY.
Learned Judges Say a Check Account
is More Sensible.

A New York man, travelling with
his wife, had $500 in his pocket for
expenses. The train was wrecked, his
wife injured and he lost the money.
Did he carry more than was ''rea-
sonable." The railroad held he did.
IT promptly paid damages for his
wife's injuries, but it refused to re-
imburse him for his cash loss. Judge
and jury held that $500 was no more
than man could reasonably carry.
The first appellate court has sustain
ed this verdict, but on a divided vote.
One learned judge held that man
with $500 in his roll" invited perils
which a railroad could not be asked
to make good.
In England or in France the court
would never have divided on this is
sue. Men with money carry much
more about them there than here.
The bank account habit is almost uni
Sersal in this country. Checks are
used here for small sums for which
ne one thinks of drawing a check
abroad. Foreign banks would not
stand the small checks common here,
since in 1899 the banks in our cities
asked their customers to draw checks
for all payments, instead of getting
cash.
The check habit and the ease with
which checks are cashed have great
ly reduced the amounts men and
"oplen carry. The big rolf is rare

taken-that with the witness it is a
case of honest mistaken identity. To
the man thus accused, though lnnO-
cent as an angel, with him, this ac-
cusation is no plaything, it IS a ques-
ton Of life and death.
This striking illustration of the i'm
perfection of all human judgment
teaches a valuable lesson, and should
be carefully considered by all people,
because it is of universal concern;
and most especially should 1t be re-
membered by our courts and Juries.
Not that guilty men may escape meT-
tied punishment, but to the end that
innocent men may not be put to
death
The court and jury are to be con-
graduated upon the spirit OF fairness
and Justice exhibited by them
throughout the trial, which was an
high credit to cur community our
State and the Southland.
The facts in this case and its final
conclusion illustrate the splendid pc
titi0n held by Lawyer Jones in the
courts, and demonstrate his eXtTaOTdI-
nary skill and ability as a trial law
yer. 1t shows, further, that the col
ored attorney, who measures up to the
demands of the times, can accomplish
results, quite equal to any other law
yer. and that our Southern courts
and juries will show him every cour-
tesy and consideration due an attor-
ney.
Lawyer Scipio 4. Jones, in this one
case, in bringing fOTCefully to the
minds of the people the universal
frailty, weakness and uncertainty OF
all human conclusions-as to ability
to perceive clearly, remember cor
rectly, describe accurately or identity

innocent life of Lee Williams, has
