PERJURY IN COURT.
1t Is Quite Common and the Rules of
Evidence Favor 1t.

1t Is Quite Common and the Rules OF
Evidence Favor 1t.
1t is a conservative averTnent that In
two-thirds of the cases tried in court
there is positive contradiction of facts.
There are few arguments made by adj
vocates In which bias and prevarica-
ton on the part of witnesses are not
charged. Deplorably immoral as well
as f~arcical is some of the evidence adj
duced in many cases where experts are
used on both sides to support diamet-
rically opposed propositions.
Any judge or practicing attorney
knows that seldom does a party to a
suit testify against his own interests.
In the decisive matters affecting the
rights involved. Although perjury may
not necessarily and invariably be pred
icated on these facts, yet they must
lead to the conclusion of sworn mis-
statements in a large proportion of
cases, especially when we recall that
the oath of the witness requires him
not only to tell the truth and nothing
but the truth, but all the truth.
In this connection 1t is interesting to
remember that the rules of evidence at
present and for centuries IN the past,
enforced in our courts and English
courts, not only tend in spite of the
plain context Of the oath to prevent
the telling of all, but permit a witness
rather to conceal much that has some
bearing in truth upon the matter at
issue.
We are forced to recognize, then.
that perjury prevails as a common and
crying evil.-Charles j. Martell in Case
and Comment

BUILDING OUR BIG CANAL.
Tho Human Problem Overshadowed
the Engineering Difficulties.

The Human Problem Overshadowed
the Engineering Difficulties.
The general impression prevailed from
the beginning that the building of the.
Panama canal comprised one of the
worlds greatest engineering feats, and
the tremendous scope of the work as it
developed during the construction Pc
Rod served to mold this impression
into a fixed belief, yet Mr.. Stevens,
who for nearly two years had control
on the isthmus not only of all con-
struction. but of those various co-ordf-
nate branches which were essential ad-
juncts to the building of the canal ex-
pressed the opinion that the engineer
ing features were the least difficult,
describing them as "of magnitude and
not of intricacy." On the other hand,
his experience convinced him that the
administrative problems were the
greater, presenting as they did many
unusual features involving an i'm
mense amount of detail and extending
into every Branch of business. with
r-amifcations touching many phases of
social and domestic economy.
In every undertaking of an engineer
ing character there must necessari-
ly be a greater or less mount of ad-
ministrative detail resulting from
problems of supply, labor, policy and
considerations arising out of them. In
the case of the Panama canal not only
were these problems present. but as
compared with those of engineering
they made the latter appear relatively
small.
The very magnitude of the work Inn
posed difficulties which would have
existed even had 1t been undertaken in
any portion of the United States, but
these difficulties were increased mate
rally by reason of having to carry on
the work in a tropical country sparsely
populated. no~nproductive. affording no
skilled and very little efficient common
labor, with customs and modes of liy-
ing as different as the civilizations of
North and Central America have been
since the settlement of these portions
of the western hemisphere, with a
heavy rainfall during the greater por-
ton of the year and with a reputation
for unhealthfulness which placed Pan
m in the category of one of the worst
pest holes of the earth.-General

TO DESTROY EIFFEL TOWER
German Aircraft Would Disable This
Powerful Weapon in the Hands
of the Allies.

The Eiffel tower is now probably
the most important wireless station
in the world. Owing to its immense
height, 984 feet-over 200 feet more
than our own Woolworth building
it has an enormous radius of action
indispensable to the direction of
troop movements among the allies.
Some idea may be gained of it's
height from the fact that a stone
dropped from its summit would re-
quire nearly eight seconds to reach
the ground. And, unlike the Wool
worth building, it can be seen from
every part of Paris, as the law limits
the height of buildings in the city to
a maximum of eight stories.
Because of its strategic impor-
tance to the French it is the object
of constant attacks from hostile air
craft. Eyewitnesses say that aero
planes or dirigibles can be seen
almost daily lowering over it and at
tempting its disablement. It is sig
nifcant that no specific mention of
the Eiffel tower has ever been made
in the official statements, but it may
be presumed that attacks against it
have been as Intellectual as the other
assaults by the German aviators on
the ''ctiy beautiful" itself.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Noted Hunter After Lions

Captain James T. Owens, with
his hunting partner and a full
equipment for hunting noun
tain lions, including nine hounds,
arrived in Prescott last Thurs
day. They came in two wagons
from the Kaibab Forest Reserve,
north of the Grand Canyon.
For ten years Captain Owens
has been with the forest service
and during that time he killed
223 lions upon the Kaibab reserve
alone. The hunters will go to
the section south of Camp Wood,
on what is known as the South
mesa, where the mountain lion
and other destroyers of live
stock have become a great mis-
ance to cattlemen, and the thin
ming out of the pests in that
section is now assured. Pres

Farmer Should Raise Snakes

Every farmer and every poul-
try raiser should keep a few
snakes as a protection to his
crops and poultry, says Allen S.
Williams, secretary of the Inter
national Psychological society,
in a statement recently issued.
Williams is a traveller and lee
turer and snakes are his hobby.
He has collected reptiles in every
part of the western hemisphere.
''The idea is simple, (" Williams
says. "Rats, weasles and other
rodents destroy crops and are
natural enemies of domestic
fowls. Snakes are the natural
enemies of rodents. Keep a
few snakes to kill off the young
rodents and in time your crops
and chickens will be safe. To
the cereal crops alone in the
United States rodents cause an
annua loss of $1O0, 600, 600.
If snakes had even half a chance
the loss to farmers and poultry
raisers would be reduced to
practically nothing. There are
a dozen varieties which could
accomplish the work and are
non-poisonous.

Ebert Bede Says

The county that has good roads
is on the highway to success.
The worst children, of course.
are the ones that are not yours.
Some people gather knowledge
with the brain, others with the
nose.
Everyone is inclined to give
the industrious, honest man a
show.
The greatest trouble some peo-
pie have is listening to the
trouble others have.
Nearly every family has kin
that they refer to with a kind
of awe and others that they
don't refer to at all if they can
help it.
It is hardly wise to form con-
clusions on a man upon what
his wife says about him wheth-
er her remarks are laudatory or
derogatory matters not.
If others had the same infor-
nation upon which to base an
opinion of us as we have our
selves, a lot of us would not be
considered so important.
One of the. easiest ways to
swindle a man is to tell him that
you have proposition that you
wish to present only to a hard
headed, cautious business man.

Discovering Corn Meal

The war in Europe is likely to
teach the Europeans the value
of corn meal as human food.
The demand for it has already
boosted the price of corn in the
American markets, and is likely
to boost it still higher. This is
unfortunate for the domestic
consumers of corn bread and
boiled mush, but there will be
compensations. After the war
is over the Europeans who have
eaten corn will continue to eat
it, and the fields of waving corn
on the American farms will be
transformed into gold mines.
The yellow kernels will CLINT
with the real lustre of wealth.
But even though corn meal is
dearer than it was few weeks
ago, it is still cheaper than wheat
flour. Necessity m a y teach
some Americans that they can
reduce the cost Of living, even
now, by using more corn meal.
And that will be another form in
which compensation will mani
fest itself.

limousine and his first-born
sporteth a racing car that can

Lo! All the people breaketh
their necks to hand him money.
A child is born unto the wife of
a merchant in the bazaar. The
physician getteth ten golden
plunks. The editor writeth a
stick and a half and telleth the
multitude that the child tippeth
the beam at nine pounds. Yea,
he lieth even as a centurion.
And the proud father giveth him
a cremo.
Behold, the young one grow
eth up and graduateth.. And
the editor putteth into his paper
a swell notice. Yea, peach of
a notice. He telleth of the wis
dom of the young woman, and
of her exceeding comeliness.
Like unto the roses of Sharon is
she, and her gown is played up
to beat the band. And tn e
dressmaker getteth two score
and four iron men. And the
editor getteth a note of thanks
from the S. G. G..
The daughter goeth on a jour-
ney. And the editor throweth
himself on the story of the fare
we'll party. 1t runneth a col
umn, solid. And the fair one
remembereth him from afar with
a picture postal card that cost
eth six for a jitney.
Behold, she returneth and the
youth of the city fall down and

Lo, she picketh a lemon. But
the editor calleth him one of our
most promising young men and

they send unto him a bid
to the wedding feast and behold,
the bids are fashioned by Munt-
gummery Hawbuck, in far city.
Flowery and long is the we'd
ding notice which the editor
printeth. The minister getteth
ten bones. The groom standeth
the editor off for a twelvemonth
subscription.
All flesh is grass and in time
the wife is gathered into the
silo. The minister getteth his
bit. The editor printeth a death
notice, two columns OF obituary,
three lodge notices, a cubit of
poetry and a card of thanks.
And he forgetteth to read proof
on the head, and the darned
thing cometh out Gone to Her
Last Roasting Place."
And all that are akin to the
deceased jumpeth on the editor
