LET US FORGET

A good memory for a kindness is beautiful thing, but equally
beautiful is a poor memory for an evil turn.
The beginning OF the year is a good place to lay down the old
grouches, old resentments, old mental sores. Iii an affront to the
Maker of all things and TO our own higher nature to carry debasing
things like these into the untried life that lies before us. We are
entering upon a new race; let us go into into it stripped for the run
ming.
Let us forget! Forget the Sights, the wounds, the blows, the
bitter ingratitude that fell to US during the past year. If one was
unkind to you, if another betrayed you, if another nahgned you,
you can not rise t O a higher plane than to stand up in the pristine
dawn of the new year and say: II will forget it."
In doing this, you triumph ever your own baser nature and you
rise superior to your enemy designs. He meant you to remember,
and in remembering to suffer and to sink to lower levels; that would
have been his victory, but you rob him of it when you cease to bear
the grudge in mind. How can you hate him if you no longer retain
your resentment against him: How can he continue to hate you if
he looks into your eye and finds no shadow Of his in-treatment? In
vanquishing your own enmity you disarm his. Hate must have
something 10 feed upon If it is to continue to live, and when YOU no
longer pander to its appetite by an undisguised memory of its exist
ence you starve it into insignihcance.
And more than that: You plant in its stead the seed of a re-
spect that must blossom into a white flower of faith. When you
have forgotten that your enemyd did, or could do a mean thing, you
unconsciously raise his standard of himself and inspire him to live
up to it. He becomes a better mar for your lapse of memory; and
certainly you are better for having cast out from your own heart the
devil OF a nagging resentment. Therefore, let US forget.-Commer-
cial Appeal.

INSULTS FROM NEGROES

If a white man does not want to be "insulted by a niger" he
ought not to 60 booze hunting among insulting negroes. Negroes
do not have much respect for men who come among them on that
sort of business. Gentlemen who keep away from negro joints and
who refuse to engage in any illegal traffic with them, rarely receive
tanned, once they are away from the place, to get a gun and deib-
erately go back to renew the quarrel and take human life. The
News believes very firmly in the negroes being kept in their places.
We also believe in white men keeping away from negro places, and
the insult plea is a poor one when the white man is out of his
place on Illicit business-Hattiesburg News.
Never was a truer statement made than this one by the News.
1t is a fact that nine-tenths of the supposed insults" to whites by
negroes come from the whites going among them at their lettering
places and for the time getting to the level with them. If a white
man wants to lose the respect of a negro, let him loaf with them,
drink with them, shoot craps with them, and other things that lower
him in the estimation of the negro. In nine cases out of ten. the
so-called race riots start from some white fellow going into negro
places. and when the supposed insult is offered the trouble begins.
Let the whites keep their places and very little will be heard of
negroes insulting them. When they don't do this, then the Herald
agrees with the News-"The insult plea is a poor one."-Yazoo City
Herald.

TREATMENT OF JURORS
(From the Kansas City Journal.)

In these days of uplift when the air is filled with reforms and
schemes of recognizing things generally in behalf OF the harassed
citizen, much is heard about the changing forms OF Jurisprudence
and the expediting of Justice. But nothing is said about doing
something for the juror, who is; after all, the most abused and most
unjustly inConvenienced person connected with the administration
of law. The more advanced countries of Europe have inaugurated
real reforms in the drawing of jurors and in providing for a minimum
of discomfort to these luckless individuals. Here in Emerica our
system of selecting juries and our way of dealing with them when
chosen is archaic and in many cases outrageous.
The citizen that is chosen to do jury service is virtually a prls-
oner, even in a civil suit. He is herded about in dirty rooms at the
command of officials who have little consideration tor the comfort
or the convenience of those who are serving the state a S a duty they
owe their citizenship. The theory that because a juror is paid 81 a
day he may be subjected to unreasonable orders and confinement, is
indefensible. There is not one citizen in twenty probably, who can
sit on a Jury without financial loss from neglect of his private bust
ness. In criminal cases, jurors are locked up in close and uncom-
Portable quarters, while often the prisoner they try is out on bond.
In the Hyde trials men were taken from their business and their
homes and held confined in il-ventlated and sufy quarters for
weeks without so much as communicating with their families.
Perhaps it is right for the law to presume that justice requires
the locking up of jurors in capital cases, though there are many who
disagree with this theory. But if jurors are locked up they should
at least not be treated as common criminals. In this county thous-
ands OF dollars are wasted annually that could be devoted to making
jurors comfortable and surrounding them with the decencies of their
ordinary life. Where jurors are to be held in secluslon the county
should provide them with separate rooms with baths. and these
rooms should be clean, airy and comfortable. The custom of herd
ing jurors into cheap hotels and requiring men of different habits,
temperament and degrees of personal cleanliness to sleep together,
is barbarOus. Even prisoners at the county farm are better treated
than the representative citizens called from their business and their
homes to serve in murder trials. No wonder men resort to all man
nr of subterfuges to escape jury service. They are justified in 50
doing. While the reformers are at it, why can not something be
done in behalf of the long suffering juror?

BY w. j. MORGAN

BY placing at the disposal of its
service department an entire plant
completely QUILTED with expensive
machinery and able to turn out on
short notice parts for every model of
its cars now in the hands of the
public, the Studebaker corporation
has taken an advanced step toward
the ideal relationship between the
manufacturer and the owners of his
cars.
There are now considerably more
than 100000 Studebaker cars in the
hands of owners asserts General
Manager Clarence H. Booth. $50 far
as we know, all these cars are in
daily service, despite the fact that
many of the earliest models have
been driven upwards of $4,000 miles.
No mechanical device will endure
constant service without at least oc-
casional replacements These must,
if satisfactory, be supplied by the
parent factory. Up to date we have
furnished Studebaker parts from this
source, though often the process con-
fused to some extent our scheme of
production. BY setting apart one fac
tory for this purpose our service ar
rangements will be practically ideal
and our regular manufacturing sys-
tenn uninterrupted"

bakers is at Pontias, and was for

"BACHELOR'S HONEYMOON"
SHAKES NEWARK AUDIENCE

words are but tame, anemic
ghosts when it comes to trying TO
describe the humor of "a Bachelors
Honeymoon" which was performed
last night at the Newark Theatre.
To convey an adequate idea of the
uproarious fun that goes rollicking
all through the three acts of the per-
Torrance words would have to
change their nature, and, as Charyl-
| lis, one of the characters of the play,
would probably say, "superinduce
upon the concepts of exclamation
percepts of the very imagery of
| laughter ITSELF" or, to express it
more humanity, speech would have to
possess the power of painting to
| bring visibly before the mind of the
reader the fun which bubbles forth
continuously throughout the play,
keeping the audience in one uninter-
rupted palpitating fit of laughter.
John Stapleton, the author of the
play. must be the private secretary
| of Comus, the god of hilarity. Grief
itself could not possibly retain a
grave countenance in the presence of
| such a play, and, to carry the char
acterization just one step further, 1t is
safe to say that touch or two OF
! "a Bachelors Honeymoon" would
put a tinge of healthy pink into the
very face of the blue-law code itself.
! The plot is a farcical complex,
built up out of the simplest sort of
elements. Benjamin Bachelor,
| divorced man with twin daughters,
marries Juno Joyce, an actress. He
| fails to tell her about his children,
and, on the other hand, he fears to
divulge to his daughters or to
Minerva, his sister and moral
guardian, his marriage to an actress
His receptions give rise to number
less funny situations; but to these
are added many others growing out
of the fact that DIR. Ludwig Schwartz,
a German savant, once promised to
marry Juno Joyce, and, not knowing
that she has since become the wife
of Bachelor fears she now will in
sist upon the performance of his
/ promise.
AS if this merry medley was not
enough the spectators risibles are
further requisitioned by the didoes
of Stephen Howston, who has a PEN
chant for marrying somebody in gen .
eral, without insisting that it be any
body in particular, and by the added
capers of Anthony Gumbug, a de-
tective hired by Minerva to fathom
the mystery which she suspects is
hedging in her brother, Mr.. Bachelor.
Nor is the edge of the fun abated
in the least by the efforts of Mari
anne, a maid, to get clue, or of Joe,
a butler, who gets sadder and sadder
the more the net of uncomfortable

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. r.
The will of John C. Anderson. for
mer tobacco merchant of New York.
filed in this city yesterday, disposes
of an estate of approximately $500 900.
About $4,000 is given to his servants
and about $4,000 is to go for benevo-

The sum of $4,000 is to be divided
equally among three grandchildren,

and John c. Anderson, of New Jer-

laughter tightens about his master,
Mr.. Bachelor
The acting was commensurate with
the play 1t was excellent. If any
criticism may be offered it must be
confined to enunciation. Now and
then it required some straining of
the ear to catch the meaning of
words.
Another criticism has to deal not
with the play or the players, but
with the program. Instead of the
time honored "dramatis personae'
(persons of the drama), we find
characters personae." This is
neither Latin, Greek nor English
The stage, although primarily de-
signed to amuse, is, subsidiarily, also
an instructor. AS such it should not
be slipshod even in its programs.
Here is the roster of characters:
Benjamin Bachelor, Claude Payton;
Minerva, his sister, Miss Elizabeth
Rathburn; Amaryalis and Charyllis,
his twin daughters, Miss Edna Payne
and Miss Georgia dip; Marianne,
maid. Miss Ethel Milton; Joe,
servant Edward Soraghan; stephen
Howston, Harry Roche; DR.. Ludwig
Schwartz, Joseph Girard; Anthony
Gumbug, William A. Mortimer; Miss
Arbuckle, known as Juno Joyce, Miss
Mabel Estelle.
