LyndOnville Doctor Wins
In Court Case

Continued. from page one)
perfect honesty. While we should
carefully regard the reputation OF
every man, yet if we have proved
negligence on the part of the doctor
you should not deprive the husband
and four little children of the dam
age to which they are entitled, and to
the loss so far as money can pay,
simply to save mans reputation.
Judge Fish in opening his charge
said that F. Z. Strobridge had
been appointed foreman He then
outlined the case and defined negli-
gence. He reminded the jury that the
defendant says that he exercised due
care required at the time. 1t is for
you to decide whether the defendant
exercised the same general skill as
the doctors in the neighborhood
would use in similar cases. The de-
PENDANTS negligence is not presumed
and the burden of proof rests with
the plaintiff to prove it. On the 9TH
CT hand there is no presumption that
the defendant exercised due care.
You have heard the evidence and it
is for you to decide and you must
remember that in malpractice case
the case stands or falls on the evil
dence of the doctors.
Judge Fish then spoke somewhat
at length upon the liability involved
in such cases. In closing he outlined
to the jury just how they should
compute damages if they should de-
eide that the verdict should be
awarded the plaintiff.
During the pleas by Lawyers Aus
tin and Searles and the charge to the
jury the court room was we'll filed

PROFITEERS STILL PROFIT.

We surely thought when President
Wilson issued his challenge to profteers.
laying down the law in good straight
English that the giants of ayerice would
90 way back and sit down. Not so.
They still sit in the boxes, and when
ever they please strut across the stage.
1t has thus been proven afresh by not
only the President, but judges, grand
juries, mayors, and who not, that when
a few powerful men or corporations
start out on little holdup game, they
usually succeed Food and clothing are
just as high as ever, while some Of
life's necessities are still mounting. For
brief while after the Presidents
message blared throughout the land
there was a perceptible hesitation in
prices upward trend but the echoes
had hardly died than the upward trend
was resumed.
Which all goes to prove that money
has power and speaks with authority.
The ordinary American citizen requires
a good deal of argument to convince
him that profteering could not have
been remeded. On the contrary, he
believes that our chief officers, national,
state, and municipal, could have readi-
ly diagnosed the causes of high prices
and crushed out profiteering in a jtFy
of time. What many hoped would de-
velop into a serious, fearless. cause
discovering and penalty -inhicting move
ment soon developed phase of comedy.
Manufactures, wholesaler, producer
middleman and retailer, formed a circle
wherein each pursued the other while
the innocent victims of the times stood
by and waited, and have been IN
mercifully bled.
They got nowhere. Reasoning in a

hibited TO guests. Women go unveiled
and speak to men as freely as in west
ern lands. A man is permitted to have
as many as three wives at once,
though by no means all Of them avail
themselves of the privilege. Divorce
is seldom IL ever practiced. At death
the body Is not encoffined but is mere
~ wrapped in STROUD and buried,
while the women wall a drge.
One Of the most curious of all their
customs is that Of having the women
Of the household occupy rooms which
are accessible from the rest of the
house only through semicircular holes
at the bottom of the wall, not more
than two feet high, for all the world
like the entrances TO dog kennels.
When a guest calls at house he is
welcomed in spacious reception
room, and then the host gets down on
hands and knees and crawls through
hole in the wall in search of his wife,
or wives, as the case may be, ana pres
emily comes crawling back, followed
by the ladies' of the household in the
same undignified attitude The women
dress in jackets and loose trousers
after the oriental fashion.

STOPS FLOGGiNG WITH HOSE
New Hampshire Governor Orders Pun

Industrial School.

Manchester n. H-Gov Bartlett
said that he personally investigated
complaints that boys had been logged
with rubber hose at the state indus
trial school here and he found the re-
ports to be true and ordered the prac-
tice stopped.
The governor sgid he had been
shown the room at the school where
the floggingS took place and the in
strumentS used. These consisted OF
pieces of rubber foot long with
wooden handles. The rubber for the
punishment of offenses Of lesser de-
gree was hollow inside. That for the
most serious ofrenSes was solid.
The governor added that he did not
intend, to bring charges against the
superintendent, Y. B. Backus, belicv-
ing him no more to blame than his
predecessors.

VITAL ATTRIBUTES OF GREATNESS

Overwork is not characteristic of a
good executive. For good executive
understands the necessity of distribu-
ting authority, rather than attempting
to exercise all authority personally. He
surrounds himself with strong helpers,
not weddings chosen because of their
very lack of capacity and convictions.
He confines himself in the exercise Of
his powers, to his own job he does not
load up with duties incident to the exer-
else Of the spirit of universal bossism,
Humility is one Of the attributes Of
real greatness. Egotsm is the sure
signal oC the false alarm either in pub
lie or private life. The love Of power,
involving violent resentment Of OPP
position is no part Of the make up Of
any great benefactor Of mankind
The love of power is as corruptnE in
public life as the love of money, and
ambition 10 public men has done far
more harm than avarice. The really
great man is the modest, well balanced
man, who does not attempt the impos-
sible, bue who actually carries to a
beneficial conclusion the things he I'M
dertakes
