QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL

It is particularly interesting sit- uation which results over the grant, ing of the right of eminent domain by the state to the future college for women at New London. It is right in excess of other similar institutions in the state and gives it the right to acquire land be condemnation pro- ceedings the same as a city which has that provision in it's charter With the granting of the right went the sig nature of Governor Simeon E. Bald win. ex-chief justice of the state, a fact which would give it a stamp of certainty because of his careful scru- tiny of such important measures.
 Now comes the decision of Judge Case as the result of a test of the constitutionality of the measure. which holds it to be unconstitutional and which prepares it for review by the supreme court. Much seems to rest upon the important provision of the state constitution which declares that "the property of no person shall be taken for public use without just com pensation therefor" Whether the college can be considered as an in- stitution for public use'' is where the legislature and Judge Case differ, the latter in his decision holding that if such a right could be granted to "a purely private corporation engaged in project. for the higher education of women. if is difficult to see why 5 chartered hotel company might not fairly demand the same privi1ege.''
 It is certain that if it is right to grant this to the New London instf- tuition it is proper that all others should receive 1t on demand, a, fact which means that rights of property owners are open to great and addition al fnroads. The matter is one which has an interest in all sections and the supreme courts ruling on the decision

A NUISANCE.

Was it thoughtlessness, or was it
an utter lack of reverence that got
hold of the young men who persisted
In riding motorcycles with muffler
wide open in front of the churches
Sunday. Many complaints have been
heard upon this incident. Not once,
nor twice, but time after time, the
congregations at the city churches
were disturbed by the noisy exhaust
from the open mufflers of the motor
cycles. Surely it was mere THOUGHT
lessness and not a wilful disregard
for others that brought about this
Sunday disturbance. 1t is to be hoped
that it will not be tolerated by the
city authorities, no matter whether
1t be Intentional or the mere thought
lessness on the part of the riders. In
deed, open mufflers should be out
lawed on the streets at all times. 1t
Is unnecessary and is constant
menace to others who are driving
teams, and it is great discomfort to
everyone who is forced to hear the
violent noise. The city authorities
would do great kindness to pass an
ordinance requiring that muffiers be
closed within the city limits.

erately kill other men there must be
a death penalty, however much we
may regret it's existence. 1t grows
out of necessity of the case. What
else can be done3 How can society
in it's present stage of development,
do otherwise? And in the case of the
Aliens it was an extreme situation.
A judge upon the bench, sheriff of
the law, solicitor of the courts are
shot dead while the court is in ses-
sion. There was nothing for justice
to do save, after fair and impartial
trial, exact the life of the perpetra-
tors of such crime against civiliza-
tion. 1t is necessary, when the law
meets face to face with such a crime
that it must exact blood. In no other
way can there be stable govern
ment. When men go the extreme
against the law and such individuals
come face to face with the law, one
or the other must perish. If the law
perish, chaos reigns and not order.
Let the people Of this country be
taught in the sternest language that
can be spoken. "Thou shalt not kill"
Let them learn how utterly lacking
we are in our regard for human life.
Let the so-called Christian nation
learn from the "heathen" Chinese
deeper reverence for human life.
When a man murders, let it be under
stood that the law will be satisfied
with nothing less than the life of the
murderer. If the law did but more
frequently receive it's demands there
would be fewer murderers in cur
courts. To be all of "a tremble," and
severely wrought up over the fact
that men who have committed mur-
der are to receive their just punish
ment is folly. Let the law be vindi-
Gated, even though we are forced to
she'd tears over the necessary punish
ment.

Around New Hope:
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor: 81
News is scarce around us at
this time. We can only send you a
few lines from here every other week,
as our community does not afford the
news as our little city Jonesville does.
Telephone always has long letter
of interesting reading matter for the
wearied mind, but he has had such
long experience as a writer he
knows how to get at it, and too, can
remember where the preacher took
his text last Sunday. We always look
for Telephones letter first, and then
comes Moxy's.
Still the ground is too wet to plow,
but today is a beautiful day. The
trees are all beginning to put forth
their growth. Oats and wheat are
looking fine, but the cold weather a
few days ago made them look little
red. There has been small quanti-
ty of corn and water melon seed
planted.
Mr.. J. j.. Littlejohn is at home this
week from his farm over in Georgia.
he says he has planted all of his corn
over there and it is up; says he has
100 acres planted in corn in one field.
Wish we could have such nice size
fields around here as that.
Prof. Clinkscales was to have lee
tured at New Hope Sunday, but was
prevented from doing so owing to the
extreme illness of his sister. l am
sure it would have been treat to
have listened to him. We hope he
will appoint another time and come.
Our pastor, Rev. Ariail, preached a
good sermon.
Mrs. Munroe Whitlock attended
services here Sunday.
We farmers are very anxious to get
some dry weather so we can run our
plows some, though it was worse at
this time a year ago.
Mr.. 3. W. Whitlock went over tc
his farm on Tiger river, near Seda.
liza, last week, and rented out all OF
his big bottoms on the river. The
people over there seem to be anxious
to work bottom land so they can
make lot of corn.
How blessed are we from the de.
struction of cyclones and high waters
One could hardly keep from shed
ding tears to read about the disaste,
OF the flood in Dayton, Ohio.
The health of our community i.
good, no serious sickness at this time
Mrs. Clara Clarke is with hel
daughter, Mrs. Claude Whitlock, al
Jonesville, who has been sick, but
is now improving.
Mr.. Thos. J. Bishop will hunt u.
his old coffee pot ere long to 90 dowr
to the Forest to fish. I firmly believ,
he likes to catch them.
