Do You Remember?

Or when we used to hide Dead

over the troubles of Shorty, adj

literature was demoralizing and
that boys who read dime novels

Dictated. The vindication comes
a generation too late, but even
tho tardy, it i welcome. No
less an authority than Professor
Searson. of the Kansas State
Agricultural College, says that
the old fashioned dime novels
never harmed a boy, but, on the
contrary only whetred his APP
petite for the better literature Of
adventure which lay awaiting
his discovery. 1t Is the stories
that are appearing nowadays IN
the standard magazines OF the
ten and fifteen cent grades which
are demora.izing. says Professor
Searsor. These sex stories are
making mo.lycoddles and sisses
of the boys Of today. And the
bows are not denied access to
them either, for the magazines
may be found on the reading
tables of almost every home.
THE old fashioned dime novels
did not make a sissy Of the boy,
SavS Prof SearSOn. He adj
mired the heroes and yet ne al
ways read with a feeling Of guilt.
He knew that he was not read
ing good literature. But it was
the story Of Jesse James and
Nick Carter that led him to read
Scott and Mayne Read, When a
boy of today finds a sex story in
a magazine he supposes he is
reading good literature and he
seeks further.

Dear Judge:

Dear Judge:

Your brother was here, and am

conditions. We are so favorably
impressed with the present indi.
cations that we figure for you a
good majority in this county.

son and | feel safe in saying for
no other he will receive a few

to weld the scepter of justice
when there is no heavier coun-
terpoise than the interest of the
helpless and the unprotected.
If we are so imposed upon as to
have forced on the people of this
district a man like Andy to serve
for us on the Appellate Bench
when the affect had been due to
the unlimited wealth of the cor.
porations, we had as well con,
denim the law as a mOckery and
our legislation be emmeshed.
We can forgive one of our

SAMPSON GROWING
STRONGER N CLAY
A letter from One of Its
Citizens.

Pigeon Roost, Clay Co., KY,
July 9, 1916.
To The Mountain Advocate:
We are glad to know that the
good people of the mountains are
supportinl Judge Sampson in
his race for Judge Of the Court
of Appeal, for many reasons;
first, because he is a mountain
man and knows the needs of the
mountain people, and because
he is well qualified and compe-
tent for this position and will
deal out Justice TO one and all
alike whether they be rich or
poor and viii never be guilty of
giving peremptory instructions
for fear that some poor man will
gain a case over some rich per-
son or corporation as some of his
opponents have done. Judge
Sampson should receive the
unanimous support of the noun
tain people because the other
candidate in this end of the dis
trict hash a ghost of a show to
be elected and it is believed by
many that he is running for the
purpose of weakning Sampson
and electing some of the big
sandy fellows and | believe by
the time the election comes a
majority that is now supporting
Faulkner will see their mistake
and help to elect F. ID. Sampson,
and from my observations in
Clay county during the last few
weeks it seems that my hopes
will not be in vain, and it should
never be forgotten by the good
honest Woodworking men that in
Judge Sampson they have a true
friend.

The Mercantile Submarine.

A reasonable conclusion would de
clare a merchant ship to be an an
armed vessel used for commercial
purposes-it would make no difference
in the treatment lawfully given it
whether such a vessel moved on the
surface Of the waters or under them
on the land or through the air, says
the Florida TimesIUnion. But expert
enee with the Deutschland seems to
have taught the German government
something before denied since we are
told: ITO allow the attack without
warning upon an unarmed. fragile
boat, with the lives OF the crew at the
mercy of single shot. that Is some
thing of which we refuse to believe
the United States Is capable" Why
not? Has not Germany denied a like
proposition in cases where she made
the attack? Was the Lusitania warn
ed, or visited? Was her crew pro-
tected in life and property?
But Germany proposes to run a line
of submarine merchantmen across the
sea and Herr Jagow states the law of
the case with special reference to his
newly discovered needs:
I'VE claim nothing for this new
type of merchantmen says that she is
entitled to be hailed, visited, and the
crew placed in safety before she is
destroyed-the precise rights which
have been insisted upon for every 9th
er merchant ship 9y your govern.
ment."
The United States accords to the
submarine merchantmen all the rights
and privileges granted by the law to
other merchantmen: does Germany
accord to other merchantmen all the
rights and privileges claimed by, her
for her submarine merchantmen I'll
not, why not? If she does when did
she begin? For two years she has
denied to other merchantmen the right
now claimed for her own why?
German Catholics insist that the
United States must protect the proper
ty of American citizens and the prop
erty of their church against the at
lacks OF robbers or the government in
their claim good? Then
why have they not demanded that the
RHltcu oAht6b IIblCCC lHe property
of American citizens and of their
church against the attacks of the
German government in Europe?
Let Us establish the principle and
then hew to the line. The submarine
has no rights or immun-
tiles that do not belong to other mer-
the government which
must protect property and churches
in Mexico must protect them in Bel
GUM also. And the men who de-
nounce the ways OF the Germans in
Belgium need hot applaud the ways
OF Sherman in Georgia nor of Hun
tor in the Valley. Let us follow one
law in theory at least.
