Judge Niles thinks the criminal
laws should be changed so as to
protect accused persons from the
"scathing, critical, humiliating
castigations" of prosecuting attor-
neys. The judge might have said
accused persons and witnesses.
Lawyers have not the moral right
to brow.beat and humiliate those
who are placed in position where
they are denied the right to resent.
If lawyers were forbidden to in
dulge in this injustice the public
would have greater respect for
courts and the justice of law.

The rapid increase of all insect
pests is no doubt due to the use-
less destruction of birds. When
this country was filled with birds
no difficulty was experienced in
raising crops and all kinds of fruits
and vegetables, but now spraying
is necessary if fruits are raised at
all, and every crop suffers from in
sect ravages. Still, with this les
son before us, the destruction of
birds goes on unabated. Can it be
possible that we are not going to
let up on these friends of man un-
til it is irreparabIy too later

Col. Montgomery, one of the
penitentiary trustees, testified in
the Smith hearing that when helm.
formed R. E. Walt, sergeant of
the Belmont farm, that the trus.
tees intended to buy him an auto,
the latter said: "Don't bring me
an automobile: I want moving
machine. But Walt got the auto
instead of the moving machine.
Our penitentiary trustees must be
wonderfully well equipped for the
responsible positions they hold.

THR SMITH CASE.

The Reveille regrets that {. Z.
Smith was unable to prove his
innocence in the famous auto deal;
and we hope that Judge Henry
will be lenient when passing SEN
tence. Mr.. Smith saw the record
of a much higher official than him
self "whitewashed" and made to
appear like snow; why should he
not expect to be treated IN ike
manner7 This does not justify,
but it does palliate in measure.
The man who lacks strength OF
character is largely the victim OF
environment. Justice must be
meted, bullet it be tempered with
mercy.
In its comment upon the case,
the Vicksburg Herald says:
"And yet, while congratulating
the Governor on his score in behalf
of honest administration of the
state government, a certain sort oi
consideration IS due Trustee Smith
that after running such gauntlet
stfrom Parchman farm 10 Man
chester mills" so little of turPl
tude was uncovered against him.
A plain farmer, he was placed
through a sinister political favor II
Office he was poorly qualified for
an Office of many and loosely
guarded temptations, with a large
latitude of discretion in disposinE
of large money affairs, arount
which there has hung from Ions
before his time, an atmosphere o
suspicion of graft and malfeasance
During his term of Office, too
there has prevailed a state OF un
precedented decentralization OF fac
ton heated turmoil and contest
under which some much 'highe
up have escaped accountability
for far larger amounts. Such
state of circumstances and such
force of example of condonanc'
for greater offenders, to the Her
AIDS sense of justice or equity, ap
peals against extreme punish
ment."
With this sudden turn in affairs
may we not hope and believe tha
public sentiment has reached th'
stage where no more "whitewash
ing"-the most dangerous OF al
methods OF attempt at cleansing
will be tolerated. The lesson is
severe one, but it may save others

CAPTURING A BULL MOOSE.

me Difficult Feat Accomplished By
Hunter.
The Moncton (N. b. Transcript tells
an interesting story of how a New
Brunswick hunter succeeded in captur~
ing bull moose after years of search.
Hunter Sellick has for several years
been the possessor of two fine cow
moose, and his great ambition has been
to go into the moose-raising business.
Year after year he has endeavored to
capture male moose, but up to this
winter failed. Some time ago he left
Moncton for the forest country lying be-
tween the headwaters of the Tobigus
and Miramiehi rivers. For days his
search was unavailing until one day,
about thirty miles away from any set
tlement and in the heart of the forest,
he sighted the object of his search. It
was magnificent specimen, fully six
feet high AT this season its antlera
had been shed, but the new ones were
already jutting forth. The dogs were
set to nipping the moose in the rear,
driving it toward tree. Sellicz. creep
ing around, suddenly threw his lasso
over the animals head, twisted therope
around tree, and had the moose .
prisoner.
It is comparatively easy for success
ful hunter to bring home dead moose,
but it is not so easy with live one. It
took five weeks, climbing over the hillA,
wading the morasses, or fording the
rivers which marked the thirty miles
~ 1.
ture and the first settlement. The
hunter at times had to employ cata-
maran to cross the streams, the moose
swimming behind. Finally he reached
the Intercolonial, took box car, which
was just high enough for the moose,
and brought his prize 70 Moncton.

Record Breaking Cabinet Service.
When on March 4 James Wilson Of
the department Of agriculture stepped
out of Office he left the duration rec
ords of the hundreds Of other cabinet
officers far behind. Strangely enough,
the record held under Wilson's time
was made by a man who left office
nearly a century ago. This was AL
bert Gallatin, who was secretary Of
the treasury under jefferson and Mad
ison, retiring on Feb. 8, 1874, after
having been in Office twelve years and
nine months. Secretary Wilson had
been In Office sixteen years, entering
on March 4, 1897, and sat at the conn
Gil table of three esidents-McK Kin
ley, Roosevelt and Taft. He served
just twice as long as did his three pre-.
decessors in his ofiice-NOrman j.
