December.

majority of Rock Island and Davenport stores favor it,
we consider the two movements entirely separate

After the missionaries which sent by the Cham

closing, felt that the Saturday night closing

Courts Should Prove Sanity of Criminals,

 This psychoana1ytica1 contention, just made public by Dr. William N. E1icksen, head of the psychopathic laboratory of the Municipal Court has aroused a storm of discussion among lawyers, alienistS and iurists
 Dr. HickSen has recomm ended that his contention be made a part of the Criminal Code, with as much weight as the basic presumption, "a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty
 pr. Hicksen in his report holds that it is entirely wrong under the present procedure to place the burden of proving insanity upon the defense in such cases where sanity of the de- that the burden of proving the de- fendant sane should rest on the pros ecution-

 We wish to call your attention to the fact that S0ro of this Mexican oil is coming into the United States duty free, and that these same interests which are lodging the protest against MencO'S system of taxation are viz orouSly opposing the tax on this oil by the Congress Of the United States. The oil industry in the United States is 60%o shut down and hundreds CT thousands of men are out of em- ploynen
 These selfish interests absorb the markets of our country with cheaply produced and cheapIy transported products from Mexico. upon which and ask the government of the United States to aid them in avoiding taxation in Mexico. We must Yigor- ously protest against the government of the United States interfering with the system of taxation on oil pro- mulgated by the republic of Mexico or any other country so long as that system of taxation is levied equally against all fOreiEnerS.''
