WHY LIE Baked

When Mr.. w. IL. Dye was being
examined in an Oklahoma City court
Tuesday to determine his qualilica-
tions as Juror in criminal case
he disqualified himself by asserting
that he did nc' believe in the i'm
position of ,ne death penalty.
1t so happens that great many
men agree with Mr.. Dye in this attl-
tude, and that great many do not.
But there are few of those who
agree with him-perhaps none-who
have so good a reason as his; for
Mr.. Dye once sat on a jury which
rendered verdict sending man to
death, and, after the man had died,
it was discovered that he was inno'
cent
Ugh,
Would you now, if you were Mr.,
Dye, care to repeat the experiment of
tampering with human life?
If we read our Holy Book correctly,
the Lord has an idea that His Is
the sole right to take Il mans life,
and we are not at this time pre-
pared to take issue with Him as to
what He believes to be best.
II is bad enough, we imagine, to
take stub pencil and write down on
IA sheet of paper few words which
usurp divine prerogative, even when
the laws victim is guilty of a crime;
and when it is afterwards discovered
that an innocent man has been made
to suffer the loss of his life, we car
understand how member of the
jury responsible should feel consd
erable hesitancy in risking it the
second time. - Oklahoman.

A LUXURY

Some people learn of the value of
the classified column in a newspaper
and some never do. One of the luXu-
ries of civilized living is a medium
of communication among the people
whereby one man can talk to every
citizen of his town and community
in one day The classified ads are
full of human interest stories, these
ads often tell one of what his friends
are doing, there is something of inter.
est every day.

In a Scotch Heaven.

Early in the last century an old
Forfarshire aristocrat installed in the
bedroom corridor of her castle an auto
matte organ. 1t was her delight of a
morning to wake her guests with its
strains. But it was not the delight
of one of them, Miss Sophia John
stone of Hilton, to be SO awakened,
and she said so. "Ye dinna like the
music? Ye shouldna say that, Sophy,"
said her hostess, Yell no win to

music; it's to be all music there, ye
know" Deed" said the incorrigible
