Outlawry existed in England and
Scotland from very early days. Earl
Goodwin and Hereward the Wake were
famous political outlaws. At one time
the sentence was used to punish any
one who would not pay the "were," OF
blood money, to the relatives of a man

an outlaw could be killed whenever
or wherever he was encountered, but

To Prevent R. R. Accidents

Washington, D. c., October %,
Making a plea for the conser-
walton of human life, President
Fairfex Harrison of Southern
Railway Company states that
during the fiscal year, ended
June 80. lat Itrespassers were
killed on the tracks of Southern
Railway. Mr.. Harrison urges
the development of a public
sentiment that will put an end to
the hazardous practice of tres
passing on railway property.
I'VE haze prepared a map
pg the point at which each
q was killed on the
Sd Railway during the last
yeaS it looks like a map of
the monuMents on the Chicka-
manga battlefield" said Mr..
Harrison. tLxFulIy one third of
those killed were school boys,
hopping" trains, and a large
percentage were valuable wage
earners. walking on the tracks to
OF from their work. Very few
were cramps in the commonly
acceptedmeaning of the term.
.'These figures refer solely to
persons walking on tracks,
swinging on trains, and other
wise intruding on railway pro-
perty where they have no right
or business and do not include
PERSONS killed at crossings or
these who for any reason have
right or duty to go upon railway
property.
Southern Railway Company
is doing all in its power to pre-
vent accidents and injuries and
is having splendid cooperation
from its employees but no pre-
caution on our part can save the
man who deliberately puts him
self in the way to be struck by a
train. Cannot a public sentiment
be developed which will dis
courage this practice? This is
a work in which school teachers
and factory superintendent
especially, and all others with
public influence. can render a
real service to their communities
and their fellowmen."

MORE ABOUT CORN.

You may think you know all about
corn, hut cveen agricultural sharks OF
high standing in the experiment sta

subject as the following from the pen
of Strickland W. Gillian.
Corn is used to make whiskey out

can he put to some useless or harmful
purpose.
One would never think that an ear
of corn was full of booze, unless one
notice,t the prevalence Of joints among
it.

The intellect Of q Caesar or Bona

This, at least, is the belief Of Lord

Had the communications passed by

done eighty years ago, it is probable
that war might have been avoided"

\ OLLoWING Is the message Of
PRESIDENT Wilson delivered at q
!, <At session Of the senate and

- house at the beginning OF the
Sixty-fourth congress:
Gentlemen Of the Congress--Since |
last had the privilege Of addressing
you on the, state Of the Union the war
Of nations OH the other side Of the sea,
which had then only begun to disclose
its portentous proportions. has extend
ed its threatening and sinister scope
until II has swept within its flame
some portion of every quarter of the
globe, not excepting our own bemi.
sphere. has altered the whole face Of
international affairs, and now presents
a prospect of reorganization and re-
construction such as statesmen and
peoples have never been called upon
to attempt before.
The president tellshow this country
practiced neutrality and declares that
be hopes thAt when the time comes
for readjustment and recuperation this
country, wiz be Of infinite service. Re-
ferring to CenleRl and South American
problems. the president declares that
I'VE should retain unabated the spirit
which has inspired rs throughout the
whole. life Of our government and
which was so frankly put into words
by President Monroe.
We have been put to the test in the
case of Mexico. and we have stood the
test. Whether we,haSe benefited Mex.
leo by the course We have pursued re-
mains to be seen. Her fortunes are In
her own hands. But we have at least
proved that we, wili not take adyan-
'tage OF her In her distress and under.
44sdpose saPen her an o-ster wsa
government Of our own choosing. Lib
erty is often a fierce and intractable
thing, to which no bounds can be set
and to which no bounds Of few
mems choosing ought ever to be set.
Every American who has drunk at
the true fountains Of principle and ira
dition must subscribe without reserva
ton to the high doctrine Of the Vir-
ginia bill of rights, which in the great
days In which our government was set
up was everywhere among us accept
ed as the creed Of free men. That doc.
trine is, THAT government Is or ought
to be instituted for the common bene,
f1t. protection and security Of the peo.
pie. nation or community" that "of
all the various modes and forms OF
government. that is the best which is
capable of producing the greatest de
gree of happiness and safety and Is
most effectually secured against the
danger of maladministratiOn, and that
when any government shall be found
inadequate or contrary to these pur
poses a majority of the community
hath an indubitable. inalienable and
indefeasible right to reform. alter or
abolish 1t in such manner as shall be
Judged most conducive to the public
veal" We have unheSitatingly ap.
piled that heroic principle to the case
of Mexico and now hopefully await
the reDirth Of the troubled republic.
which had so much of which to purge
itself aud so little sympathy from any
outside quarter in the radical but nee
css,iry process We will aid and be
friend Mexico. but We will not coercc
her. and cur course with regard to her
ought to hp sufficient proof to all Amer
lea that we seek no political suzerainty
or selfish control.
