FROM the st. Louis Times, No
vember s, 1912: SIT is only fair to
emphasize the fact that President
Bush of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road Company ordered that the
men in the employ Of his company
should be given a half. holiday on
the 9Th, so that they might have
plenty of time to attend to the
duty of voting. They were re-
leased from their duties in order,
as an official order ran, ''to enable
them to exercise the privilege of
American citizenship and vote for
the men of their choice" There
was a time when the railroads
were supposed to exert an improp-
per influence upon their employees
in the matter of elections. Per-
haps it is safe to believe that a
minimum of such influence ever
existed. Nevertheless, it may
serve the ends of justice to give
full publicity to the step which
was taken in st. Louis Tuesday
by the President of a great rail-
road"

Il WISH to condole with my old
friend, Mr.. Firmiu Desloge, pros
porous mine-owner in the lead
belt. He is but human, and a
high tariff on lead is to the better
ment Of his pocket book. His late
appeal to the protected" wage
earners was forcible and earnest
but Ineffective. He is a genial
gentleman, and l wish him well,
but suggest that S42 protection on
an article whose labor cost is IS, is
just a little excessive. Now, isn't
it?

rict''l And then McGinty quite
naturally Notwithstanding to
his lights-that "this plan will be
much easier and simpler than to
have to fill in the names of the
county candidates upon the Pro.
gressive ticket" But if the voter
voted intelligently, it would be
ION the contrary quite the re-
verse;" as Sam Weller would say.
There we're seven names on the
county ticket, and | take it that it
was much easier to write in their
names on the blanks in the Pro-
gressive ticket, than to ''scratch"
eighteen Republican and substi-
tute eighteen Progressive electors.
Lord, Lord, how this world is Civ

Justice For Sale,

A painfully significant report
from Richmond, Virginia, appear
ed in the news dispatches of last
week. 1t related to the case of
Floyd Allen and Claude Allen,
both under sentence of death for
border~rufian murder in q court
house. OF the guilt of these men
there may be no doubt, and the
question of capital punishment
may be put aside for all the pur-
poses we have now in mind. as
may all considerations of mercy.
The point to which we wish atten-
ton directed appears in these
words in thepress dispatch: "Floyd
Allen's wife Issued public appeal
for money to aid the effort to save
the men from DEATH! Whether
that money was needed to secure
a communication of sentence, or to
carry the case to the highest courts,
the dispatch does not make clear.
If for the former purpose, it would
probably be useless; yet the very
appeal for it implies that money is
regarded as legitimately needful
and as not always Ineffective.
More probably, however, the
money is wanted to enable the
condemned men to secure a hear
ing of their case in the upper
courts-in other words, to prevent
a miscarriage of justice.
Now, observe that the question
is not a Virginia question. There
is probably no State in the Union
in which some such an appeal is
not necessary to secure full atten-
ton from the courts in cases of
convicts without much money.
Neither is the question at this
point a Floyd Allen question, nor
even a question of guilt or inno-
cence in q particular case. 1t is a
question of the barter and sale Of
justice. If one convict may carry
his case to the highest courts re-
CARELESS Of apparent guilt and
merely because he is rich enough
to pay the expense, but another,
regardless Of apparent guilt, cam
not carry his case there be-
cause he is not rich enough to the
pay the expense, then justice is for
sale. When a person is accused of
crime, every facility Of legal ma.
chinery designed to convict the
guilty and to acquit the Innocent
should be at his service as freely
as the same machinery is at the
service of the prosecution. The
primary object of judicial machin-
cry is not to punish any one, be
he innocent or guilty. It's princi-
pal object is to protect the inno-
cent. That is why we have grand
juries, that is why we have trials.
And is an accused PERSONS inno-
cence less important to the COM
munity if he has a defense fund
than if he has not?-The Public.

THE :" hard times scare didn't
work this year. To the shame of
the intelligence of a deluded
people, it did it's perfect work
for years, but I hope it is now
gone forever, to make way for
righteous principle. At best, the
appeal to the pocket is a sordid
one, and, governing, in the end
must lead to the eradication of the
virtues we assume to cherish. The
dollar, a good servant, is an I'M
holy master, and so sends more
souls to hell in a decade than
King Barleycorn does in a CEN
fury.

insomnia and Tobacco.


The dominant characteristic OF to-
bacco is the fact that it heightens blood
pressure. The irritant action by which
1t does this sometimes lends to still
more harmful results. Its second ac-
ton is narcotic. 1t lessons the connec-
tion between nerve centers and the out
side world. These two actions account
for all the good and all the bad effects
Of tobacco. AS a narcotic It Temporal
rily abolishes anxiety and discomfort
by making the smoker care less about
what is happening to him. But 1t is a
well known law of medicine that all
the drugs which in the beginning less
en- nerve action increase it in the end.
Thus smoking finally causes apprehen-
sion, hyperexcitability and muscular
unrest. Here this inevitable law seems
to give contradictory results. Every
physician knows that an enormous
amount of insomnia is relieved by
smoking, even II it is at the expense of
laziness the next day. At the same
time every physician knows that most
excessive smokers are troubled with
