MIscARR1AeE OF JusTIcE.

Much criticism is being expressed
in New York over the outcome of the
murder trial Of Mrs. Rosa Bellina, who
was charged with and admitted the
killing of the man who had wronged
her. because he would not provide for
her. It was like many other instances
where a miscarriage of justice has
been recognized because it was case
where a woman was on trial.
That Mrs. Bellina was wronged by
the man she shot was admitted, but
instead of allowing the law to take its
course in such a matter. she exercised
a custom which is in use in certain
sections OF Europe for clearing her
name. She possessed no right to COM
NIT murder, since provision is made
under the law for taking care of just
tai furnishes justification for the COM
mission of such capital offenses.
II was only a short time ago that
the country was aroused by the ac-
ton of Georgia mob because it went
into prison, took cut prisoner SEN
FENCED for life and hanged him to a
tree. 1t shocked the country to think
such thing could be done and no one
punished, and yet a New York jury
has declared that the taking of the
law into private hands and the COM
mission of murder is an act which is
to be upheld. If the crime which the
womans assailant committed was pun
ishable by death, the legal course
should have been followed. No such
penalty is fixed for it however, and
yet when what could not be done I'M
der the law is carried out as private
vengeance the representatives of the
law give it their sanction. It is MOI
surprising that there is criticism Of
sEch verdicts.

MANS FRIEND-THE OCEAN

written Specially for The Bulletin.)
We are Just back from a summer at
the shore and are beginning to grow
accustomed to missing the swish of
the waves and to have time to medi-
tate on the delights OF the past two
months.
While we were on the strand. per-
haps we did not properly appreciate
or realize Just how much the great
restless, powerful but friendly ocean
means to mankind.
our attention was directed to the sun
drawing water from the sea-" as II Is
popularity expressed. Then for a few
minutes we realized that the majestic
ocean yielded the vapor that in due
times becomes clouds. which. when ov-
crloaded, fall on the thirsty. earth in
the form of rain. In this respect,
then, the ocean is friend to each and
all of u.s. We sense this fact, when
we recall summers of drouth. during
which we have had to conserve every
precious drop Of water.
The ocean as mans friend is inn
pressed upon our CONSEQUENCES If we
take the trouble TO watch the count
less fishermen, to whom their sea
privileges mean daily bread and butter
only they get the bread and
fish, Holsters, CLAIMS, mussels, oysters

some big pier the men who haul their
nets, gaining from the deep their live

Viscount Haberton and other mem

cruits have in consequence refused

first opportunity to the British. Some
prisoners wore uniforms made on the

looked on glad of the fulfillment of

II would be as prisoners.
