sympathy that enthroned him in
the hearts of human lives. and as
he had served and ministered unto
others, SO loving hearts and tender
hands ministered unto him in his
last days. All through the days Of

The Law Cannot Be Respscter Of PersonsAI Most Be

Resistance to Policemen.

Now and then it happens in the
best communities that a usually ex-
emplary youth falls into error and
gets caught IN serious trouble
tfat comes upon him through the
tempting lure Of association with
some gay Lothario or free imbiber
Eof liquid damnation".
Then. too. it sometimes happens
that the respectable ally, known
as married man, who only once
in so often yields to fancy and
takes his. is suddenly confront
ed with his record in the City
Court
But no matter who is the victim
of outraged law and decency it
isn't pleasant either for the offend
er, the officiating officers or the
publisher. whose custom it is to
publish the court records in his
columns.
As to The Leaders course in
such matters we will here say that
the founder of this paper pursued
the plan of publishing court rec
ords because they are not only a
matter of vital interest to the COM
munIty. but are also deterrent to
crime. aud tend to keep the law
before those who have no reverence
or regard for it They show the

effect is salutary; and w-breakers
have confessed that they have
dreaded the publicity given in the
newspaper more than the courts
themselves.
This being true, The Leader here
would appeal to the officers. if
need be, not Only to make faithful
records but to assist US in their
publication. as a means Of protect

MRS. Leon Priebatsch, President
of Civic League,
Brookhaven, Miss.
Dear Madam
l take this opportunity of writ
ing you few words to thank you,
and through you the members of
your club. the local newspapers,
your city authorities, and others
who SO ably assisted in making the
recent cIeanest-town contest, the
greatest success forbetter sanitary
conditions of our state than any
other movement inaugurated in its
history. The great work which
was practically all due to the la
dies of the state, surpasses my most
Isanguine expectations. both in the
number of towns entering the con-
fest, and in the scope of work done.
not only in entering the contest,
but the splendid example set by
them for their neighboring towns
which did net enter the contest. z
DR.. Valley states that he is
deeply grateful for the efficient
work done and hopes to substanti.
ate grades given by our officers
Clubs will be requested to have
regular committees continually IN
specting the city.
Several weeks will be required to
decide the prize among the forty
one competitive towns. DR.. Wal
ley will. personally, visit these
towns.

The Liver is blood purifier. Itwas

black because of impurities in the

ment to the extent. in some in

of his back, or his body being
marked up. We are also informed
this has happened more than once.
1t seems to us a special ordinance
should be adopted relating to this
extreme offense by law-breakeys
and the punishment and fines should
be such as to forever bar such a
state of misrule, which unrestrict-
ed, will, undoubtedly lead to rec

 Attorney 4. R. Heilig has been do' ing some experimenting with Yese. tables each year here. as a matter of recreation. and he has come to the conclusion that Q time will come when this will become a great seed pro- ducing country.
 1t Is pointed out by Mr. Heilig that experiments have proved thai north ern.wown seeds are preferred even m southern climates, for the plants pro- duced by them mature earlier than they do from southern-growu seed.
 MT. Heiiig plants his vegetables early in Aprn in boxes In the house and the young plants are set out into the family garden as soon as the wea' ther win permit Ho has raised some seeds that have been found to be bet ter than those sent here from che Outside. It is his opinion that great possibilities exist here for certain kinds of agriculture.
 Because 1t is found best to pianI seeds in boxes indoors early in tho season here, said Mir. Heilig- should not reflect on the climate here for they do that very thing in some oi the Northern States. (Fairoanks Citizen.

best men," This opinion, may add In passing, is shared by Americans generally, and has been proved, 1t is considered, by the publication of the official documents issued since the war began. Lastly. we hear the Kais- CT, in his desperation, continually urg- es his His Sea Fleet to action. De. spite the advice of his High Seas staff, he has advised raids useless from the naval standpoint, hopeful that they win help create panic in England. Incidentally he knows they will cheer the hearts of the German people, and stave off the revolution, which, we believe here will come when the Ger man people realize that the Kaiser and his military Cabinet have failed almost from the start, and that the nadon's tremendous sacrifices have been in vain.
