overcharged for such public convenien-

A MISSOURI judge has decided that a

has been somewhat offset by an Ohio
judge, who holds that husbands have a
right to lie to their wives. If both de-

can save themselves the punishment un-

MAJOR RUSSELL, of the U S. Medical

Medical Association of the wonderful re-
suits that have been accomplished by
vaccination for typhoid fever. He says
that IN 1902 with an enlisted strength of
SO,7iS officers and men, there were 565
cases Of typhoid fever resulting fatally.
In 1909 out of si,O75 men there were 2s2
fatal cases. In March of that year vac
cination was begun, but in too small an
extent to affect the ratio. In 1910 over
10000 were vaccinated and the number
of typhoid cases began rapidly to dimin-
minish till 1911 there were only 20 cases.
In that year vaccination for typhoid was
made compulsory on all persons in the
military service and on all recruits. In

Chapter Al, Section 1887 of the ReNis-
ed Statutes of Kentucky, says that who
ever shall bride another shall on convic
tion be fined from $50 to 500 and i'm
prisonment from 10 to 80 days. or both
fined and imprisoned, and shall be ex-
cluded from Office and suffrage. The
conjunction which connects the fine or
Imprisonment with the exclusion from
Office holding and suffrage is copulaiive
and not distinctive, thereby leaving, as
they say, no power in the judge to CIT
out that provision. We suppose, how
ever, that Judge Benton knows what he
is about, but if the contention is as our
lawyer friends claim, he has set a pre-
cedent il will be hard for him TO get BY,
even if he did it because it was the first
offense of the accused. 1t seems that
the full penalty should have been inflict-

the victory of the law would be much
more complete. At any rate the TRACE

ing to please the audience. Had it been
different, there would probably have
been no additional case to deal with for
contempt as has appeared. There should
be no compromise with crime
We do not want TO detract an iota
from the good work Judge Benton is do

the mistake Of erring on the side of
mercy, when the law is mandatory in its

hasn't been single case OF typhoid in

the past four years $50, 900 persons have

With this knowledge before them, it
