Doctor His Right Arm.
NEW YORK.-A Philadelphia
item in the World says: Interesting
features of the ancient Mosaic laws
were detailed by Prof. CAMDEN NJ.
Cobern of Allegheny College in a
lecture on Moses and His Times. "
Recent discoveries by archaeologists,
he declared, have confirmed the Bib
lical account of Moses.
"One of the old Mosaic laws fixed
the salary of a surgeon" said Prof.
Cobern. IF he succeeded in an OPP
Grafton he received a certain sum.
If he failed his right arm was cut

Under the same law, he added, a
contractor was put to death in case
building he had constructed fell
and killed some one, or if a burglary
was committed in a town the mayor
and council were held responsible
for it.
THE doctors of that day were as
wise as ours" he continued. They
wrote their prescriptions in an an
cient tongue that nobody else could
understand. I've seen prescriptions
for making the hair grow. They were
printed on papyrus, and the fact that

THE ESSAY THAT WON PRIZE
Offered By Dawson Daughters OF Confederacy'

gal under the constitution. When
thew did recognize this fact they re-
fused to take the oath to defend the
constitution. All of this tended to
internally the unfriendly feeling that
had so long existed between the
North and South. Abol' tionists caus-
ed the necessity for endless compro-
misses, and made the Southern people
think that their rights and property
would neither be respected nor pro-
tected. They began to fear that their
rights could not be obtained in the
union. This fear brought on talk OF
secession. When the South began to
think of disunion the North disputed
their right to secede. Many North
ern leaders denied that secession was
constitutionally legal. There were
some. however, who admitted this
right. Among these was Horace
Greeley, who said: eff the Southern
people think they can do better out
of the union than in it let them go
in peace. The right of secession may
be revolutionary one, but it exists
nevertheless.
The right of a state to secede
would scarcely have been questioned
during the time in which the constl-
tuition was being formed and while
the states were entering the union.
The states of Virginia, New York and
Rhode Island, in adopting the constl-
tuition, expressly affirmed the right OF
a state to resume the powers delegat-
ed to the union if they should ind
cause to do SO afterwards.
Innumerable instances of the as
sertion of this right by statesmen,
iurists, political writer's, state legisla-
lures and conventions may be cited.
In the early years of our country New
England was a stronghold Of seces-
sion. This was shown when negOtla-
lions for closing the Mississippi fall
ed and when Jefferson was candl-
date for the presidency, and when ne
gotiations were pending for the pur-
chase of Louisiana. During the war
of 1912 the New England states were
making threats of secession, when the
Treaty of Client put an end to the
scheme. The Massachusetts legisla-
ture resolved that ''The project OF
the annexation of Texas, unless ar
rested, may tend to drive these states
into dissolution of the union. Thus
the North and South had both al
ffrmed the right of secession. But

HOLBROOK, Ariz.-Torrents from
the melting snow of the White
mountains overwhelmed two reser-
