The Argus has become so af.
ficted with sidestepping the
Slim jim corpus. habeaS mill
that it evidently has sidestepping
on it's brain, which may account
for it accusing the Herald of the
same gymnastics regarding the
GoSsom case. We thought we
had said a plenty and made it
plain enough, but if the Argus
isn't satisfied. we have an abun-
dance of the same kind of goods

tice. Don't let that worry you.
First, we want to make it dis
tinctly understood, once for all,
that Judge Gossom has had moth
ing to do, directly or indirectly,
with any article that has at any
time appeared in this paper
With us it is not the man, but
the principle involved, and no
one on earth, or under it, is re-
sponsible for the editorials of
this paper but the man whose
name appears at it's masthead.
We don't have to go to saloon
man or any other kind of a man
to see what we shall or shall
not print as the Argus evident
ly does in certain shady trans
actions pulled off in Caruthers-
vile in the name of the law, to-
wit, the Corpus Habeas" case.
We have no authority to speak
for Judge Gossom, only he is a
public servant and as such he is
before the public eye and should
be treated fairly, and what we
say or do not say in no wise
binds or compromises him in
any particular. The Argus
submits a proposition" to the
Herald which it unjustly terms
the "Gossom organ" and our
reply is entirely upon our own
responsibility and is without the
knowledge or consent of Judge
GoSSom.

Argus, April "a 1918.
We suppose the Argus must
refer to the barbaric law such as
in the days of King Moab where

eS That was when there was
but one side of the case in evi-
dence and that the side of the
prosecution. The Argus has
certainly not heard of the com.
ing of Jesus of Nazareth who pro.
claimed justice to all men and
who said Judge not lest ye be
Judged. :"
The Argus would have us an.
swer with one word, but as the
law itself is the best answer, we
prefer to let the law speak
Here is the law:

quested or not the court must
instruct the jury in writing up

necessary, the subject of good
character and reasonable
doubt; and failure to so in
struct \ Il shall be good

found guilty, for setting aside
the verdict of the jury and

So, under the law. it would be
impossible to accept the Argus
proposition" The law says

failure to perform that duty, the
law says, shall be good caus,
for setting aside the verdict ol
the jury" A trial without prop
er and lawful instructions from
the court would be a fake and d
farce. Is that the kind of justice
the Argus stands for? Surely
so, or it would not demand it. i

THE GNoAIES OF SALINE NOUN

By Anna Goldmark Gross. With four
Illustrations. The Shakespeare Press,

York.
The scene of this story. "The Gnomes
of Saline Mountains" is laid In the Old
World, and the authors familiarity
with life in the great cities, watering
places and rural resorts of Austria and
Germany has enabled her to paint an
interesting and instructive back ground

pictured, Notwithstanding the introduc-
ton of the gnomes. There is great hui
man sympathy running through the
pages and the reader is enchained by
the story. The choice language of this
gifted authoress gives us an added
charm to the work. The numerous
readers of Mrs. Gross magazine stories
will be pleased to see this longer work
from her pen ana they will not be
disappointed.
The pictures by Ballin add interest
to the tale. At the back of the volume
are three short stories, "The Artist
"The Street Singer" and "Coneetta,
which must be read TO be appreciated.
All deal with life as 1t is and the high
er motions, with prevailing note OF
sympathy for the unfortunate.
This Is a book to be read and re-
read. Being handsomely illustrated and
bound it is very suitable for holiday
