The PeculiQHtieS OfLQW

Truly the law Is a peculiar thing. At times the
Justice that created it is made to appear like q ca
PRECIOUS vixen, by the narrow vision of those constl.
tuted to interpret and execute her commands.
Compiled to protect the weak from the agrees
sions of the selfish strong, the tangled code of modern
law, as administered by its agents, often seems to
wreak injustice on the creatures that it should be-
friend. At times so complex is the code that obedi-
ence to one of its mandates will result in a violation
of another, whose strict Interpretation will visit pun
ishment on a morally innocent offender.
Today there is a broken boy imprisoned in a cell
at the North Dakota penitentiary, robbed by an iron
clad provision Of any other course, in honor, than
that of crime. To pay the penalty of a crime he
was forced5to commit by the eccentricities of the law
itself, he must be branded for life a convict and a
felon.3 49,.
This lad loved a lass, not wisely, but too we'll. He
sought to make her his bride, but the law forbade.
Twice he called on the Instruments of the law in two
states to authorize an honorable solution of his prob
lem. Both times the law refused to aid him and
pushed him nearer to the pit of lawlessness.
1t left open to him only two paths, to violate one
of it's precepts or see the good name of a girl that
he loved more than his own life or his own future,
besmirched with shame; to become a criminal or see
his sweetheart dishonored.
The moral code of his people would forbid his
bringing NOME d VIE WHOSE shame uaQ Deen Ddnuleu
about in the gossip of the streets. '"7. .
Caught in the trap of an pnlenient law, the boy
took the only course that an honorable man could
take. He protected the name of his sweetheart at
the risk Of his own. Later, when permission was at
last grantd by the law, he showed he was not of
the common clay of criminals, by marrying the wom-
an his thoughtlessness had brought SO near I'd ruin
With her at his side he started to lead the life of
an honest man and a good citizen, further crime was
the thing furthest from his mind. But the law would
not have it so.
His story was whispered in the ears of the bench
men of the law. The boy was snatched from the
arms of his girl wife and born to prison, after ad-
hitting like an honest man, not in the least like a
criminal, that he had done certain things of which
he was accused.
He was not even permitted to say farewell to his
bride of a few weeks. The necessary formality of a
trial was held in a hotel room, after the lad had
been instructed that he must not ask for an attorney
or seek to shield his character from the eyes Of his
inquisitors.
1t surely was not Mercy that was shown the lad.
Was it Justice, or was it even a broad-minded inter-
probation OF the Law, the child of Mercy and Justice?

SEEKS SHARE OF 100000 ESTATE
Mobile, Ala, Nov. 26.-Hearing was

the contest brought by Mrs. Margar-

break the will of Mrs. katherine M.
Aureries, an aged resident Of Mobile,
who died some time ago and left an
estate Of 100000. Mrs. Hopkins
claims to be a niece and the only
surviving heir of Mrs. Aureries. The
latter's will directed that the bulk Of
the estate be given to two sisters OF
Michael A. McDermott, who was nam
ed as executor. Mrs. Hopkins alleges
that the will is not a valid one for
the reason that the testatrix was not
of sound mind and not capable of dis
posing of her property and that Mrs.
Aureries was falsely and f%raudulently
made to believe that she (Mrs. Hop

Wilson and Roosevelt

Former Gov. Stubs of Kansas declares that Mr..
Roosevelt is the only man who can defeat President
Wilson for reelection. 1t is not always the early
%predicter who catches the truth. (.
1t may be that nobody will be able to defeat Mr..
Wilson in p19l6, says the Washington Star. Is it
supposable that if things between now and then go
well for the Democratic party, and the country pros
pers, a change will be decreed? Why SO? There are
no moral or sentimental questions now ~agitating the
country. Everything is business. Tariff, trusts, cur
rency, conservation, all have to do with very material
affairs. If, when 1916 arrives, Mr.. Wilson is the lead
er of a party which during his time in the White
House has scored only successes, he will look mighty
good to voters.
On the other hand, if the Underwood tariff does
not reduce the cost OF living, which was the great
promise in its enactment; if trusts are not properly
%shackled, but continue their predatory activities; if
currency reform fails TO provide the remedies desired;
il conservation fails to conserve, and if the general
result is confusion and depression, then Mr.. Wilson
as a candidate for reelection will be an easy mark.
Mr.. Wilson'S status, therefore, cannot be fixed to-
day. He has just begun his work; and some very
difficult work lies before him. The tariff did not tax
him severely. He was operating with the aid of an
old Democratic cry. Swattng the robber barons had
been the party demand for years, and Speaker Clark
and Mr.. Underwood and Senator Simmons, who had
utlcleu IL Ollener %Lndn MT. wilson, lent valuable
assistance.
But here is the currency, and presently will follow
the trusts and conservation, demanding the full re.
sources of Mr.. Wilson as party leader and construct
i've statesman. How will he handle himself; how
handle these questions? Who may say? The country
is, anxious, and some prominent members of4Mr.- Will.
sons own party share the feeling.
So that Gov. Stubs may be in error as to both
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Roosevelt. The former may not
be the doughty champion, flushed with success and
reinforced by power now imagined; and, if he is not,
SO doughty a champion as Mr.. Roosevelt is described
Will not be necessary to insure the triumph Of the
opposition. A good, sane and safe man on a conserv.
atively progressive platform will be the solution OF
the question.
The Stubs position, however, is the Roosevelt
position. Which is that in Progressivism alone lies
the hope of the country, and in Mr.. Roosevelt alone
lies the hope of Progressivism. Useless one withou.
the other. But the one-party and oneman propo.
sitfon is not an American proposition, as Gov. Stubs
will discover.
