When the Laws Met.

The laws sat about the long green
table. All the fundamentals were
there save one. Even the decrepit
Salic Law was present, doing be-
tween the Mosaic Laws and the Law
of Primogeniture.

Land, called the meeting to order

cause of their color. The majority of
negroes are excellent citizens.
If our dear Lord and Master loves
these people and says that He is no
respector of color, what right have
we to slight these people?
We have heroes in our police and
fire departments who are colored. We
have as many criminals as the black
race has.
Color has nothing to do with the
person. It's your heart and the way
you live that counts. If white folks

When we think of poor baby, with
it's little hands, it's faint cries, its
helpless, trusting soul, hurled into the
world against the law because the
parents loved lust and were selfish, it
makes one wish to weep. 1t is no
credit to civilization that such wee
unfortunates are cursed by law from
the day of birth.
People of other nations, when they
pray at night, say, God bless me
and mine, that is all, good night" But
Norway has evidently read the New
Testament. Here are a few verses
by the Greatest Humanitarian who
lived:
'It is better that you tie mill
stone about your necks and be cast
into the sea than to harm one of
My little ones. Whosoever harms
one of Ny little ones unto the least
of these, have ye done it unto Me.
Suffer little children to come unto
Me, for those that seek Me early shall
find Me-"
We cannot expect much of our
present legislators, who probably
robbed birds nests of their young
when they were young. They con-
tinue to rob the young because of
their early schooling. The churches
of Christ which aid and abet the
crime feel perfectly secure in their in
depreciation of Christ, their leader.
But Norway has taken the part Of the
defenseless and ought to cause other
nations to blush with shame.-AIlen

STEM PUBLIC FEELING
German Enemies Try to Cover Case
of Staying Sub Crew.

Berlin, Oct 25-German enemies
apparently are anxious to counteract
the indignation aroused by the fact
that German sailors a sinking sub
marine who had surrendered and held
up their hands were shot down one
after another says the Overseas
News agency. For this spurpose they
are giving widest publicity to invented
stories about the sentences by court
martial against conspirators in Brus-
sells.
1.-The fact is that the conspirators
knew what they were doing and what
they might expect under the law. The
conspiracy was carried on during a
period of nine months and countless
soldiers were helped to join the armies
now fighting against Germany.
The German judges faced the al
tentative of giving way to their nat
ural feelings of pity and endangering
the country by encouraging similar
enterprises, or of applying the law.
''Al1 stories about the details of one
of these executions in Brussels are
pure inventions. The court martial
proceeded in a most careful manner
and cleared up everything. The ex-
ecution was sad necessity, but was
carried out as prescribed by law, with
out incident"

KNOX BOOTH DEAD
Former Revenue Agent Victim
of Heart Attack.
Tragic End to Celebrated Moon
shine Liquor Case.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 25.-Knox
Booth, former internal revenue agent
for Tennessee and Alabama, died sud
denly at hospital here yesterday. His
death was attributed to an acute heart
affection.
Mr. Booth collapsed at a railroad
station late last night as he was about
to board a train for Nashville, Tenn.
He revived, but several hours later
again collapsed and died within a few
minutes.
At the hospital to which he was
taken, Mr.. Booth stated that several
days ago he suffered an attack of
ptomaine poisoning. This, the attend
ing physician stated, probably caused
death.
Mr.. Booth was en- route from Fort
Smith, Ark, where he was summoned
to appear for trial in connection with
the socalled "moonshine" distillery
frauds by which, it was charged, the
government was defrauded out of ap-
proximately $3S3,00O in internal reve-
nue., through the alleged ccnn1vanee
of Booth, several other government
employees and certain distilleries. The
case against Booth was postponed
until January, but others charged with
completely in the fraud pleaded guilty
early last week and the majority were
sentenced to prison terms.
Booth is said to have made state
ments to department of Justice agents
shortly after his removal from office
ness for the prosecution of his alleged
co-conspirators.
Mr.. Booth was 4S years old and for
a number of years had taken an active
part in political affairs in Tennessee
and other southern states.

HIS ACE UNKNOWN
Experts Can't Tell How Old
Young Shepard Is.
But Helen GOuId'S Son Must
Have a Birthday.

New York, Oct. 25.-How old is
Master Finley Jay Shepard?
This question concerning the foun-
ding, which has arisen since his adop-
ton by Mr.. and Mrs. Finley J. Shop
ard. has perplexed many physicians
and psychologists.
The press was told today that the
child had been submitted to a chosen
number of specialists. All differed
widely in their reports.
while it is about certain that Fin
ley is between and years DID, said
the informant, there is great difficulty
in fixing his age closer. Whether he
months under five is undecided. The
doctors are from three to IL months
apart in their estimates"
What is to be done about it 2" was
asked
1.-The matter will be decided during
the early winter. And Finley will then
have a regular birthday, just like
other boys
Pressing questions failed to elicit
just how the age of the boy is to be
determined, since the doctors have
failed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shepard, at their
country estate, Lyndhurst at Irving
ton on the Hudson, were alone today.
Mr.. Shepard explained it. He added,
with the approval of Mrs. Shepard,
that they appreciated the manner in
which the newspapers had reported
the adoption.
But we shun publicity and the rec
ord has told it all. We cannot add a
single thing" said Mr.. Shepard.
