COlorful Farming.

Going back to the farm may some day prove
less joyful experience than one anticipates.
A farm, II appears, can be adapted 10 the
rules OF decorative art.
Recently an Indiana outlined the new
thought on the artistic side of farming.
He described his own success.
His big barns and outbuildings are all painted
yellow, with white trimmings; the farmhouse
Is painted white, with yellow trimmings; the
cattle have the same yellow color being Guern-

the shepherd dog is yellow, with white band

But how appallingly different results might

cruelties practiced on children in
medieval Europe. And our treat.
ment OF children today Is q tremen-
dous advance over that recorded by
Mr.. Payne as being OF common oc-
currence less than half a century
ago.
The truth is that mankind has
been steadily developing keener
social consciousness. With this
there has come a gradual shedding
OF that extreme individualism which
involves absolute disregard of the
rights and welfare OF others.
More and more the human race
has been coming TO realize that a
mans children are not his property
but have rights OF their own, and
apart from this should be protected
from maltreatment since they arc
assets OF the nation in which they
happen TO be born.
Hence the organization OF child
saving societies. and the enactment
OF child-savlng laws. TO compel those
who persist in extreme individual
ism TO get into line with the better
sentiment OF their fellows.
There still Is. alas, much 10 be
done in this respect The exploit
ing Of children, even by their own
parents, still is a noticeable fact.
But il is a fact much less in evi
dence than was formerly the case

This Is as II must be, not only
for the sake OF the little ones. but
for the betterment OF the nation IN
years 10 come.
Just picture to yourself the en-
ergy. the vigor, the power gone Il
waste by reason OF the ignorance
and cruelty so rampant in those
good old times" which the thought

rev celebrated cases have shocked the
public more than that of DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite, who was recently con-
victed in New York for poisoning his
mother-in-law and father-in-law.
His lawyers set up plea for moral
insanity" on the grounds that no man
could have been guilty of such revolt
ing crime, unless he were crazy. The
jury, however, promptly brushed aside
this excuse.
The accused himself took no part In
trying to establish his insanity. In fact,
the most remarkable element in this af-
fair was the simple, downright, and open
nature of his acknowledgment of guilt.
He said, in substance: Eyes. | MUIR
dered them. l am not crazy. | knew
what | was doing. There's nothing the
matter with me except that | am just
bad. l wanted money. l wanted the
things money can buy, all those luxuries

Go ahead and execute me. And get it
over as soon as possible
DR.. Waite may have been a weakling
and a pervert all his life, he may have
been most reprehensible villain, but he
illustrates the truth that every one, no
matter how low, has in him some trait
Of nobleness. You cannot help admiring
man who owns up and takes his medi-
cine.
The most disgusting thing about the
usual criminal is his sniveling, squirm-
ing, and writing to escape his just pun
ishment. Generally everything and every
body are blamed, same himself. II was
heredity. it was environment, | was
drunk or had brainstorm, or 1t was So
cietys fault, or my mothers, or some
microbes.
AS a rule, also, the offender when the
moose is about his neck wallows in self
pity.
There is nothing of all this in DR..
Waite. Nothing in his life becomes him
like his taking off.
His confession was so straight, clean.
and unwhimpering, that small wonder we
thought him crazy. I'm the country OF
the blind the one-eyed man is king.
He sinned like a cur, but at least ne
pays for it like man.
The candor of his avowal has in 1t
some flavor of redemption. 1t burns like
bright flower in the swamp-bed of his
life.
Doubtless he was a villain, but his final
gesture is refreshing. There must be
something manly thWe.
The stores of divine mercy can not
be measured. and when he stands before
the Judgment Seat on high who shall say
that this last chapter of courage has not
done something which, to the mind OF
the Applying, shall mitigate to some
degree the distressful story of his wasted
life?

.A FEW WORDS ABOUT
 AN EFFICIENT SHERIFF

Look over the official record of w. G. Dickinson, sheriff of Coco nlno county, and say if you can beat it.. .rO Only two years in office and he has established a record for efficiency which his successors will strive to emulate but can hardly hope to surpess. The famous Az bill case is enough to prove sheriff Dickinson a detective of marked ability. Few men could have con- nected up the incidents of that crime and forged chain of evi- dence which could not be broken. E minent attorneys strove to break it but 1t held.
 w. G. Dickinson seeks a second term in the sheriff's office. Voters are accustomed to extend the cour- tesy of second term to officials who have done we'll in office. They will hardly make an exception in sheriff Dickins sons case.
