YES, WHY Is IT?

The Augusta (Ga) Chronicle APP
purcntly has hai experiences similar
to The Graphic, experiences that are
not uncommon in the life of every
newspaper that expresses an opinion
This conclusion is reached from a
recent editorial appearing in The
Chronicle, which says:
"Why is it. when newspaper eN-
presses it's honest views about some
subject of public interest, somebody,
here and there. who happens to hold
different views gets mad with that
newspaper, or its editor, and wants
to cut up about it?
"Why is it that this same individ-
ual reserves the right to express his
own views on the subject, and would
think YOU fool if you got mad with
him for doing it?
"Why is it, for instance, that about
four men out of five are so neutral in
connection with this European wal
that they Observation-Disclosures
we have no doubt-that Germany
started the trouble and ought to be
wiped off the map; but insist on cuss-
ing out newspaper that doesn't
think as they do about it, and call II
'pro-German?
"Why is it that the very men whc
are most emphatic in their own views
on this and other subjects are the leas'
tolerant of the other fellows views
on the same subject; particularly Il
the other fellow happens to be the
editor of a newspaper-and dares tf
prints his views?
But it is the last line OF the edito
rial that is of most interest to the
average newspaper man, because Il
voices his sentiment. Listen:
"Not that we care rap-but WI!

SAFE BLOWERS GET
$4,000 IN DIAMONDS
Safe of Nashville, Tenn, Jeweiry
Store Ripped Open Early
in Night.


Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 22.-Safe
rippers last night blew the diamond
safe of Weinstein & Small, jewelers.,
who carried the largest stock OF dia-
monds in the city, and carried away
every diamond in the store. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.
There is no clue to the identity OF
the burglars, and the job is said to
be one of the neatest ever pulled OF
in Nashville
How the safe could have been rip
per without attracting attention is a
mystery. TIE store is located on a
principal street and a cluster OF six
arc lights hangs in front of the en-
trance The burglars cut hole IN
the ceiling and lowered themselves to
the rear of the establishment, where
the back of the safe was ripped open

one of the temperament and adaptable

ion of the Journal Of the American

braved the dreaded tropics with

have lost the teri 2rs of climate, while
the far North has become the field OF

MAGNOLIA HOTEL BURNS.
Damage of $4,000 Caused by Sun
day Blaze.

Magnolia, Feb. 22.-Fire about
o'clock Sunday morning in the Har-
we'll hotel, the leading hotel OF this
city, completely destroyed the build
ing. together with several small
houses and sample rooms which stood
near. Slight damage was done to the
M. e. church and one or two dwell
ings.
1t is believed that the fire was OF
incendiary origin.
Some of the furniture from the
first floor was saved, but was dam
aged on account of a heavy rain
which was falling.
Damage will probably not exceed
$1,000 or 1000, and it is understood
that the damage is partly covered by
about $4,000 insurance.

UROGRESS
ROSPERITY
JUDGE kAVANAUGH.

One of the severest blows Arkan
sas has sustained in many years fell
sunday afternoon, when Judge VIII
liam Marmaduke Kavanaugh died
suddenly at his homeHin Little Rock.
He was a gaint of intellect and ener-
gy, and did a gaint's work in deve,-
oping the resources of Arkansas,
bringing new capital into the state
a.l improving Pulaski county. and
The capital CITY, He was one of Ar
KANSAS greatest assets, and the loss
cannot be estimated because he was
removed in the prime of life, just at
the time when all his marvellous fac
ulties seemed to have reached their
full development.
Although 4 native of Alabama,
where he was born in 1866, Judge
Kavanaugh had given nearly all OF
his life to work in and for Arkansas.
He came to Arkansas In 1886, first
1886 to Little Rock, where he has
since resided. He started ascend
ing from reporters job on the
Little Rock Gazette, of which he was
successfully city and managing edi-
tor. He left newspaper work to ac-
cept appointment as sheriff OF Pu-
laski county, and then rapidly acfiiev-
cd one success after another in suca
ouick succession, as to make him \
national figure. His activities were
not confined to any particular bust
ness. his genius enabling him to sue
coed in anything on which he concen-
trated his attention. In finance, In
real estate, in commerce.. in politics.
in sports, in social and civic lie
always he was leader.
With a special talent for organiza-
ton, his personality was such that he
obtained his will through leading his
followers rather than driving, a
method unusual in this day OF ndi'
vidual success through ruthless dis
regard for others. Only strong man
who could give and accept affection
who realized and sympathiaed WIZ
the strength and weakness of others
could essay the role he did without
wreaking his own destruction. He
stood for what was best in every
.hing, and because he did. and con
WINGED others of his justice he drew
to him men in all walks of life; men
who followed not only because ne
could lead but because they loved
him.
One of the most eloquent tributes
paid to Judge Kavanaugh was voiced
Nv Capt. c. T. Crawford vice pres'
dent. of the Southern baseball league
who said: lone of the biggest
suuarest men in organized baseball
This tribute of a sportsman is quotes
for the reason that it is impossible
to practice hypocrisy successtull!
among sportsmen, ana because any
man who is regarded by sportsmel
as s'big" and square" is pretty GER
tain to be "big" and square IN al
things.
Judge Kavanaugh was all this. III
was more, for he led in great things
in big movements for his city
county, state and country. But alte
all, it IS doubtful II greater TROUT
could be paid to any man than ina
neonle who knew might say with sin
Certify, he was big" and square.
More eloquent language may be used
bnt no words can indicate VIII
greater emphasis the high stamina
Of man among his fellows tha'
those two.

A NERvINE TONIC

Tn many severe nervous disorders the best remedy is often tonic. The most active tonic treatment is recommended by the highest medical authority to ar- rest the progress of such diseases.
 It is impossible to reach the nerves directly with medicine. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are & nervine tonic but they act on the nerves through the blood, en- abling the blood to carry to the nerves the elements needed to build them up.
 Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache and q number of more severe nervous troubles are properly treated by building up the blood with Dr. Williams Pink Pills and are often entirely corrected in this way.
 If you are nervous you can help your self by refusing to worry, by taking pro- per rest, sleep and vacations, by avoid- ing excesses and by taking out-of-door exercise. For medicine take Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills, the non-alcoholic tonic.
 Sufferers from nervous disorders who have been taking treatment without bene- fit should investigate the tonic method. Write today to the Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y, for the booklet, Diseases of the Nervous Sys- tenn" It will be sent free on request.
 Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail on receipt of price, fifty cents per box, six boxes for $2.50.

KATHERINE B. DAVIS
 ON PAROLE SYSTEM
Urges Clearing House Plan For
 Adult Offenders

Oakland, Cal, Oct 15.-Considera- ton of the relationship of the courts to the probation system and of the re- lationship between parole and the in- stitutions to which prisoners are sen fenced was given yesterday by Kath- erine Bement Davis, commissioner of corrections of New York, and chair man of the committee on probation and parole, in a report from that com mittee to the convention of the Amer ican Prison association.
 In the development of the pro ba- tion system she recommended pains | taking investigation of the individual, | that the sentencing judge might have 1 full knowledge of the points which have bearing on the probationcr. | "As a general proposition" she | said, mo offender should be placed | on probation, who is not in sufficient | ly good physical condition to eaable him to earn his livelihood, unless the 1 court is assured that he has friends | or relatives financially capable of caring for him.
 No person should be placed O., l probation who is unfit by reason of | feeblemindedness or psychopathic de- fects to control his actions" uOusC 5ySbGfu. She advocated the establishmnct of the clearing house system for adult offenders to establish their eligibility for probation, similar to the system | employed for juvenile offenders in the Chicago juvenile court where careful investigation of the antecedents, en- vironment and individual history of each child is tabulated.
  said:
 Both institutional care and parole are methods adopted to train the in- dividual who has been anti-social so that he may take his place as a law abiding and self-supporting citizen. Tn my Judgment the connection be- tween institutional life and the suc- ceeding period of parole is organic. The criminal having been convicted, it is the business of the institution to train him for his readjustment to so- ceity. The parole is the period in which the test of this training is made before the man is finally placed on his own resources"
 Methods in Prisons. The report contrasted methods em- ployed in various prisons and the diff Ierent tneorles ol prisoh Hidnaseihehe and the degree of freedom permitted the prisoner. Of the penal method which involved sharp repression and rules framed entirely by the prison of- ficers she said:
 "The difficulty of this system comes in the abrupt break between the life of the institution and the sudden free dom which follows release. It seems to many thoughtful people that the breakdown of the parole system comes largely as a result of this method of administration"

Sermon From the Grave. (Meriden JOurnal.)

We are such a blase nation that it takes things most unusual to stir us out of the beaten rut of thought and awaken us to conditions. No doubt this man in St. Louis who left large fortune and gave a strong sermon from his grave in the will must have understood this phase of human na- ture.
 The will of James H. Allen, dispos- ing of $3,O0O,000, was filed for pro- bate in St. Louis. The sermon covers the first page of his will and in it he exacts that his children shall promise that each one of them will give one half of the estate awarded to them to be used for charitable purposes. In his will he declares this promise has been given to him from his chil- dren, and says:
 "All that we have belongs to the Lord. It is the Lords property and he will hold us to strict account for the way we use 1t. The devil is smart CT than all mankind put together and will always lead us astray if left to our weak selves, so our only hope Is In the Lord, who has promised us if we love, serve and obey Him that no temptation shall befall us, but he will provide an escape"

cannot waste our precious moments sitting in the silence of the library pouring over books that have lived through the generations. that have enlightened the race and brought civilization to it's present day plane only to" be discarded when the top of the hill is reached. And yet, we will warrant, a man is a better man for having read such books as "The Merchant of Venice," or 'Trilby," or any number of others in preference to such trash as Married; But No Wife," or "Sin," or some of the more sensational novels of the day. Whether 8 man admits it or not he will be much better off for having read the lovlier and purer romances instead of the sordid ugly things that are being thrashed out by the hack writers of this generation.
