Full was the life that gently passed
When over Oyster Bay
The clouds of morning turned TO wings

Green are the laurels that we bind
About his quiet brow,
Aud bitter is the grief we feel,
For who will lead us now?
In homes of rich and poor alike
His pictured face is shrined,
For he was true to every trust
And kin to all mankind.
As statesmen, author, soldier brave,
And patriot to the end,
We mourn for him, and more than all
We mourn him as friend.

Three preat immortals stand,

At Liberty right hand.

The letter Of Jugde Bethurum
published in these columns two
weeks ago, has caused much com
ment. The article was very
timely and we believe will result
in much good toward wiping out
the dastardly evil which has SC
imperiled our town and county
so long. The whisky traffic is
the worst evil the country has to
face and the bootlegger is the
hardest violator of the law to
convict. He picks his man tc
sell to and once the sale is made
it is the hardest problem yet, tC
extract from that man who buys,
just where and from whom he
made the purchase. When the
jury is selected to try the case

posed to whiskey and would con
vict, either manage to get ex
cused from the jury or they are
cut off by the attorneys in the
'case.'"rYfe witness taIses the
stand and says lie bought from ST
and so. The bootlegger takes
the stand and says he did not
sell. The Judge instruots the
jury according to law and the
weakness of the law in such cases,
gives the doubt to the defendant
and he goes acquit. The Judge,
the sheriff and prosecuting attor.
ney. have each done his duty.
The law has been followed to the
letter so far as the court is con-
cerned, the jury satisfied that
they did their part, the bOotlegger
pleased with the great victory
won and the public without stop
ping to consider the facts al
once, place the blame upon the
the officer OF officers of the law,
that he is not doing his duty.
The court can not do it all. Since
Judge Bethurum's letter was
published, we have heard re
peatedly from people: what is
Cam Mullins doing! In justice
to Judge Mullins We want to say
that he is trying TO do his duty
Take the records of his courts;
the number of men who has been

it is sufficient proof of what he
