COLUMBUS JURY
TOLD To FREE
LOEWENHERz
Merchant Accused of Perjury Is
First to Benefit Under New
Ruling of Appeals Court.

COLUMBUS, Feb. 12.-Judge Hem
ry A Matthews, of the Macon cir
cult, ordered the jury to return a
verdict Of not guilty in the case Of
Leo Loewenherz, a wealthy Columbus
dry goods merchant, who was on trial
charged with perjury.
Loewenherz who is president of
the Bee Hive Dry Goods Company,
one of the largest mercantile estab-
lishments in West Georgia, was
placed on trial Monday afternoon on
a charge of perjury and the case went
to the jury Tuesday night.
Upon being questioned yesterday,
the jury announced that there was
not a possibility of a decision being
reached and the court then ordered
verdict of not guilty. The verdict
ordered by the court is said to be
the first under a recent decision of
the Court of Appeals to the effect
that Judge may order q, verdict of
not guilty when, in his opinion, there
has not been sufficient evidence to
convict and the jury fails TO agree.
1t also is said TO be the first verdict
of the kind rendered in the State by
a presiding Judge

ALWAYS BEHIND WITH BUS
MESS.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals is
nearly year-behind with its docket
Probably some of the reasons for this is
that the Judges are engaging in outside
employment. l. appears that Judge
Hobson has just issued book on Plead
ings, and now Judge Carroll announces
a new edition of the Kentucky Statutes.
1t takes time and great labor to compile
a book like these. Therefore, these two
jurists have taken from the State valua-
BILE time sold to it and for which they
are paid at the rate of $4,000 per annum.
Also this time necessarily taken from
the performance of their duties has serv-
ed to put the court far behind with its
work to the detriment of the people. Ii
the shake-up at Frankfort, which has
been promised for some time, comes
around, it should shake little in the
Court of Appeals rooms. 1t would be
we'll for the State Inspector to look on
the inside of these rooms. Ii he does SO
he may find why millions of dollars tied
up in litigation and the lives and liberty
of men are made to await the pleasure
and convenience of this court.

Rally Day at f. K. S. N.

The Teachers Institute has been in
session this week at the Normal School
and most interesting program has been
given. Many notable speakers are in at
tendance and fine exhibits from schools
throughout the county were shown at
the Gymnasium on Monday.
The sewing, handwork, maps and
model chicken houses were a credit to
our efficient teachers and progressive
pupils.
Especially interesting was the canning
demonstration, given under the direc-
ton of Miss Marian holland, the presi-
dent of the Southern Canning Club: She
stated that the young ladies had canned
1900 quarts of tomatoes this season and
showed how the work was done, using
the platform on the Campus as an i'm
provised canning factory.
Miss Noland's club won the first prize
at the State Fair in Louisville.
Another very excellent exhibit was the
Madison county boys poultry show;
Master John and James Farley showed
White Leghorns, Buff Cochins and a
pair of Black Orpingtons; Galen White
had the Rhode Island Reds and Buff
Cochin bantams; George DeJarnett had
Black Orpingtons, Minorcas and Pekin
ducks; Marion Lilly, Black Orpingtons,
Silver Laced Wyandottes and Mammoth
Pekin ducks.
On Monday Miss Sweeney, the Domes
tic Science teacher from State College,
addressed the Institute; on Tuesday
Miss Tyrl, of Berea, and today, Wednes-

RICHMOND, KY. WEDNESDAY, OCT. Z, 1914

We cannot believe this. On the other
hand we believe that the christian re-
ligion will be made stronger and more
far-reaching than ever before in the his
tory or the world Our own view of the
matter is las we have heretofore express
ed through the columns of the Madiso
miami, that one great error which the
christian churches of this country, as
we'll as of the world, was making, was
the neglect of home missions and home
work, and an undue pushing of the for
eign missionary movements. We do not
speak in detriment of the wonderful
work that is being accomplished for the
religious work in the fields of China and
other non-christian countries. That
work should be continued. But the in
evitable result of pushing foreign work
and neglecting home work is seen in
the terrible conflict now being waged in
the christian communities. There has
been a lethargy in home missions and in
home church work, the result of which
is a weakening of the moral fiber and a
non observance of christian duties.
Besides, the war in Europe is not be-
ing carried on by the masses of the peo-
pie. 1t is being conducted solely from
the viewpoint of individual rulers who
give the soldiers their choice between
going to the front and taking their chan
ces on being killed or stay at home with
the certainty of being shot for refusing
to do military duty.
With this view of the case, we cannot
truthfully charge that the soldiers have
lost sight of the christian spirit entirely,
although their zeal for the cause Of their
country as represented to them by those
in power, may for the moment blind
them as 10 the moral teachings of the
Scriptures.
Unjust be borne in mind that on the
field of carnage, christianity leaves its
impress. 1t is there that its nurses rem
der aid to the wounded and to the dying,
and even though the battle may be rag
ing, its tenderest and sweetest sympa-
thies are exemplified every minute. The
sun is not lost when it casts its benifi-
cent rays on the fury of the tempest.
Neither is christianity lost when, in the
roar of battle, it touches the bleeding
heart.
The lessons of christianity will be in
delibly impressed upon the bold warriors
and upon the countries whose brave men
have fallen as sacrifice to the unfeel-
ing ambitions of their rulers.
We believe that christianity will come
forth revivified and strengthed and that
the entire world will be brought under
its sacred influence. Then will there
be peace, perfect peace'-"the parlia
ment of man; the federation of the
world"

GREETINGS

The Climax and the MadiSonian were
consolidated purely for business reasons.
By so doing we will save from two 10
three thousand dollars annually and VIII
aniov the same volume of business now
done by both papers. In fact, we be-
ieve that the united strength oil the TWO
papers will give the consolidated paper
a stand that will command additional
business not now enjoyed by either pa
per. The union was mutually agreea-
BILE and was not forced from either SIDE
The Waltons desired to sell their inter
est in the Climax. and at the request oil
DIR. White, Mr.. Lilly, who owned the
Madisonian, bought their interest
We shall not set out long list oil
things which we expect to accomplish.
Our experience in the past has led us to
believe that performance is better than
promise. Therefore, we make no proc
lamations of our intentions other than
the motto found under the head lne'
to-wit: I'VE stand for the purity oil
the home, the supremacy OF law and the
relief of a tax-burdened people" Fur
Their than this we say not, but will allow
our paper TO speak for itself.
. To the new homes which we enter
this week we have the kindliest of greet
ings with the sincere hope that our pages
may be most pleasing and profitable to
them all
We take this opportunity of thanking
our patrons for the favor of their bust
ness, which they have granted to US IN
the past, and trust that we may merit a
continuance of the same.
We earnestly desire to get personally
acquainted with our patrons and readers
and for this purpose we cordially invite
you to call at our Office and make ityoul
headquarters when in the city.

THE cREcELIUs SCANDAL.

Now comes the startling news thai
Secretary of State Crecelius is charged
with some of the wrongful conduct going
on in the office of Secretary OF State. II
this is true, he should be drawn and
quartered. for not only is he thief and
unworthy of the Office which he has dis
graced, but he is perfectly willing to dis
credit another man and allow him to be
dishonored and suffer the penalties OF
the law for a crime which it appears
that he had not committed. Such man
is a dangerous animal TO be at large.
Nor can we understand why the grand
jury of Franklin county could not lind
discriminating evidence enough TO return
an indictment against some one for the
defalcations in the automobile depart
ment. The shortage is there, which is
not denied. The conduct of those in
charge of this department is apparently
discriminating. The mutilations of the
record were bungling and had extended
over a considerable period Of time. Ger
tainly those in charge of the books and
papers of the office could see these mu-
citations and could and ought to have
known what was going on. 1t was their
business to know. With such incrimi.
mating evidence, it ought not to be the
least difficult to find the parties guilty
of the crime, and they should be hunted
out and the full penalties of the law Wis
tied upon them.
Democracy is on trial. 1t must clean
it's skirts. There has been too much
dallying at Frankfort; too much toler-
ance of wrongful conduct and neglect of
official duties on the part of those en-
trusted by the people with the business
of the people.
The last years of Governor McCreary's
term may be the best years of his SER
vice to the State. Governor, clean out
the gang that is taking the peoples money
and the multitudes will shout your
praises from the house-tops!
By the way, let's give three cheers for
Sherman Goodpaster, an inspector who
inspects!
