A Kansas City police judge has adopted a system of dealing with offences for which the penalty Is a fine which should commend itself to magistrates on this side of the line. He does not think 1t just that the rich should pay their fines and be allowed to go, while the poor have to work out their fines in prison; that, he declares, is nothing less than sending a man to jail for a debt, a practice which was suppos- e to have been abolished long ago. As a remedy he allows men of fam fly and previous good conduct to pay their fines on the instalment plan. A certain weekly payment is fixed to be turned into the court and the man goes about his busi- ness. The advantages of this sys- tem are obvious. The offender is compelled to work to keep out of jail, the public does not have to support him during a term of i'm prisonment, his family does not be- come a charge upon the community and yet every time he makes pay ment he feels the sting of the law. Such a method is surely better than branding a man with a prison rec ord for some petty delinquency, as is too often done even in this coun- try, where justice is far more even handed than in the United States. In the larger cities of Eastern Ca- nada a man has been known now and again to be sent to prison for the infraction of some little bylaw, when he was not aware in the slightest that he was committing an offence. He was unable to pay the small fine, and the magistrate with more regard for the letter of the law than for common sense has committed him to jail. Fortunately most magistrates in the present day are too enlightened to adopt such course, but no one on the bench should have the power to send a man to prison for an offence which is not a crime.-Yancouyer Satur- day Sun.

Senator Sutherland, of Utah, has introduced a bill in Congress which provides for restitution by the Gov erument in cases where men or women have been wrongly convicted of crime The essential clause of the bill declares that 'any person who having been convicted of crime or offense against the United States shall hereafter, on appeal from the Judgment of conviction or on the retrial or rehearing of his case, be found to have been innocent Of the crime with which he was charg- ed and not guilty of any oftense against the United states, or who, after inquiry by the executive has received a pardon on the ground of innocence, may, under the condi- lions hereinafter mentioned, apply by petition for the pecuniary injury he has sustained through his CT roneous conviction and imprison- ment."
 In the determination of cases un- der this proposed law the Court of Claims would have jurisdiction, and the limit of indemnity in any case Is fixed at S5OOO. It is fur ther provided in the bill that the burden must be upon the petitioner to prove his innocence, and he must show In that proof that he has not "by his acts or his failure to act either by intent or by willtul mis- conduct contributed to the circum- stances which brought about his ar rest and conviction as steps that were seemingly warranted by the facts and the law.
 There should be no objection to the enactment of this bill. provided 1t would do what it's author evi- dently intends 1t shall do, namely, furnish restitution to those persons who have been wholly the victim Of circumstances. There has al- ways been the sense Of ineXcusable untairness that society should re- quire such victim to go unrequitted for his suffering, no matter what the damage may have been in mon ey or in reputation. As the Suth- erland bin is framed it would not appear to put any obstacle in the path of justice, rather would tend

The Bitter End.

You have probably often heard a
person say: Il will follow it to the
bitter end" or something to that ef-
'ect, but very few persons know that
this Is nautical term and is bor-
rowed from a ships cable. If you
have ever been on a big ship you
must have noticed two big pieces Of
wood sticking up out of the deck for
ward, alongside each other. They
sometimes have a windlass between
them and they are used to secure the
cable that goes to the anchor. These
pieces of wood are called the bits.
When the ship comes to anchor and
the cable is paid out all that part of
It which is abaft or behind the bits
Is called the bitter end of the cable.
In a storm or in poor holding ground
for anchors the more cable that is
paid out the better the anchor will
hold and when the captain is at all
doubtful he pays out his cable to the
bitter end sooner than risk any harm
to his ship.

Woman Ran a Street Car,

To have been a real street car con-
ductor for three whole years, perform
ing all the duties that the Job i'm
plies, in fair weather and foul, in the
service of one of the first street rail-
way companies in the country, is the
unusual and probably unparalleled ex-
perience of Mrs. Mary Susan Stone
of Upper Swampscott, Mass.
It was in 1874, when citizens of that
quiet little town provided funds for
the organization and operation of the
old Lynn City railway, now a part of
the Bay State Street Railway system,
that "Sue" Stone, as Mrs. Stone is
popularity known among the older car
men, was initiated into the service.
The first equipment Of the road con-
sisted of one small bobtail type of car
which seated seven passengers on
each side. Soon another car, seating
nine passengers on each side, was &C.
quired, and for time this remained
the entire equipment of the road.

ut is Mr.. Cushman's intention to
make this all up-to-date summer re-
sort, installing various modern attrac-
tons, one of which, we understand,
will be a fine ball ground. Work will
be started as early in the spring as
possible. The resort will, so far as
is now known, be called "Denison
Beach,"
"Mr. Cushman is alive to the op-
portunities of the town and the lake.
He has rented cottage at Lakewood
for several seasons past and his OBJ
servations have led him to believe
that another good resort here would
be paying investment and addition
al attraction to visitors.
"This resort means another boost
for Lake View and the coming sum-
mer will probably see the lake more
popular than it has ever BEEN"
TO Review reporter Mr.. Cushman
substantiated the above and added
that number of enterprising Deni-
son men with capital were interested
in the deal, and that while no definite
conclusion had as yet been reached,
building operations would be COM
menced at an early date. The land
in question is on the north side of
Wall Lake and between the town of
Lake View and Lakewood Point. 1t is
beautiful piece of ground, with an
ideal beach, and when built up will
no doubt prove a very popular resort.

CAME TO CRAW.
FORD IN 1894
Mrs. Nathaniel McNeaI Dies at Her
Home on Railroad Avenue on
Monday Morning.
Had Been Sufferer From Cancer for
More Than Year-Husband and
Six Children Mourn Death

On Monday morning, January Goth,
at o'clock, occurred the death of
Mrs. Mary Jane Alzetta (Martin) Nc
Neal at her late home on Railroad
avenue in this city, the immediate
cause of her death being due to can
Ger from which she has been suffer
ing for more than year.
Mrs. McNeal was born March 2,
1852, near Lexington, Perry county,
Ohio, and in 1866 she moved with her
parents to Springfield, Cedar county,
later moving to Grand Junction,
Greene county, Iowa. She was united
in marriage to Mr.. Nathaniel McNeal
in 1870, and to this union eight chill
dren were born, three sons and five
daughters, two of whom died in in
fancy.
Mr.. and Mrs. McNeal came to
Crawford county in 1894 and for a
while resided on farm northeast of
Denison, later removing to a farm
south of Vail After leaving Vail they
made their home at Manila for the
next twelve years. They came to
Denison in 1909 and have lived here
since that time.
Last summer Mrs. McNeal was op-
Grated on at the Denison hospital for
cancer, but the operation did not give
permanent relief and since that time
it has caused her much pain and SUI
fering.
Mrs. McNeal has been member
of the Presbyterian church for num-
Der of years, and was a devoted chris
tan and has always taxi len active
part in things for the welfare of the
church. While she endeavored to do
rer whole duty toward all, it
was in the home that the purity and
strength of her character was realized
to it's fullest. She was an ideal wife
and mother, kind hearted and loving
and especially devoted to her family;
and showed her lasting patience in the
suffering which she endured for the
last few months.
The universal respect and affection
in which this esteemed woman was
held was shown by the large gather
ing of friends who attended the OBJ
sequies, which were held at the Pres
byterian church in this city this
morning at II o'clock, Rev. J. Jas. De-
Pree officiating at the services. ,
She leaves to mourn her death

CHANGES KEEP A MAN YOUNG
Altogether Too Many Make q Fad OF
Becoming "set In Their
Ways"

Though a mans body attains its
full growth before his twenty-fourth
year, and probably earlier than that,
the growth Of his mind depends on
himself. He can continue adding to
the sum Of his knowledge and his
power to reason until extreme old age
If he preserves his mental alertness.
AS long as he retains a fair meas
ure of that curiosity about things
which often make him q nuisance
when boy and is interested in new
people, new sights, new books and the
thousand and one things that are
happening today, his mind continues
to grow. But when man finds that
change bores him and limits himself
to one narrow round day after day,
he is really growing old mentally as
we'll as physically.
This premature ageing of the brain
is often self-induced. There is class
of men who make fad of being un-
interested in passing events. They
will read only one paper, they will sit
only in one chair, they will eat only
at one table, they will vote only for
one party, the name of which is the
same as that Of their forefathers, no
matter how much its principles may
have changed.
Though posing at first, they become
"set in their ways" and then they
are really old even though their years
scarcely number two score. If mis-
fortune or unavoidable change in his
mode Of life overtakes such man
he is, like homeless cat, miserable
for the rest of his day. Those who
stay young mentally and spiritually
keep in touch with new people and
especially with the young. cultivate
the habit of looking with clear eyes
on passing events. For them in their
daily lives there are no laws of the
Modes and Persians. They may wear
themselves out, but they do not rust
away.-New York Commercial.

cordine to Professor Gar

On the deck Of La Provence, at the
BEGINNING of an old-fashioned ocean
Journey for summer in France, Gar
rett p. Serviss, the we'll known as
tronomer, talked seriously OF an air.
ship service to the moon which he
believes the future has in store for
man.
Il begin to think seriously. but not
too seriously, now that we have
achieved the navigation Of the air by
mechanical means, that there only re-
mains the necessity Of providing air
to exist upon and things to eat for
man to go to the moon," he said.
"But we have got to have a new
motive force. Electrical propulsion
begins to hint what that force will be
when men fly from planet to planet.
You understand we have got to over
come gravity and there are only two
forces which overcome gravity under
certain conditions-pressure Of light
and electricity.
$50 I say that the first flying ma
chine to the moon will be based on
the principle Of the pith ball that
flies away from the conductor of an
electrical machine. When this has
been accomplished there only remains
to be done what modern chemistry
certainly can achieve; that is, to fill a
strong vessel, spherical vessel, with
enough air and food to sustain man
during the flight. This is not so ridic-
ulous as it may seem, and the modern
achievement of flying is step In that
direction"
incidentally Prof. Serviss does not
believe there are any Inhabitants on

doesn't allow for the fact that Mars
Is too small to retain an atmosphere.
Human beings could not remain on
Mars because there probably Is not
enough oxygen and nitrogen on that
planet. The gravitative force Is too
small to retain an atmosphere. The
atmosphere flies away. Those lines
called canals are no doubt natural
phenomenon, Notwithstanding the fact
that they look artificial. Their ex-
istence is due to the fact that Mars
is very fiat planet. There are no
mountains there, and waters spread
out in every direction and form con-
Meeting lines. The drainage system
runs in every direction and gives that
checkered appearance of criss-cross-
ing canals"
