DIFFERING RULES IN DIFFER.
ENT STATES.

The jackson News refers to the
notice Of the Governor of New York
that applications for executive elem.
ency will not be considered where a
review of the evidence has already
been made by the court of appeals
that decisions on questions of fact
are properly SUBMITTED to the jury and
their verdict should be final in so far
as the facts are concerned. The only
purpose Of appeal is to correct mis-
takes in the trial court in interpre-
tation of the laws" The practice in
this state during the Bilbo and Rus

widely different practice, Under
appeal is to enable the criminal

Ito correct mistakes Of law or fact,
Of the trial or the supreme court. -"
The fact may be somewhat but not
much over stated by the News in the
following:
Getting pardons out of the execu-
tive office has become profitable
business for those who are engaged
therein.
In truth, the point has been reach
ed where no man need stay iii the

of his crime, if he can raise the price
demanded, by one of these pardon

The executive department is wiltul-

AN uNMlsE MOVE

How community, by too strenu-
Gus protest against an unpleasant but
transitory condition, can condemn it
self for years to an annual recurrence
of disease, is strongly brought out in
report by DIR. r. G. Perkins, of the
Cleveland Division of Health, recently
reprinted by the u. S. Public Health
Service.
Cleveland, says the report, obtains
its water through two cribs placed
4 1-2 miles out in Lake Erie. and de-
livers IL through two pumping sta
tions, at one of which it is filtered.
and at both of which it is chlorinated.
Chiorination was begun in 1911,
when the growth of the city and the
increasing pollution of the lake water
made treatment essential After nu-
merous experiments the dosage Of
chlorine necessary to make the water
safe was determined. This amount
was added and the typhoid curve fell
with unusual sharpness. Unfortun
ately, conditions compelled the deliv-
cry of the doctored water through the
mains in some parts of the city so
shortly after it was treated that the
taste of chlorine was still apparent.
Much complaint, followed, but was

THE TAX ON FUEL.

If a fight against the proposed tariff
on crude oil launched by the American
Automobile Association, the Asphalt
Association and individual oil COM
panies and highway officials, is sue
cessful, the asphalt industry will be
saved a serious blow and the Ameri-
can taxpayers immense sums in the
cost of improved roads and streets
as well as gasoline prices. The Ways
and Means Committee of the House
proposes an import duty of So cents
a barrel on petroleum.
Mid continent oil producers for
some time have been urging congress
to place an import on Mexican crude
oil. Action of this sort, especially
in view of the proposed Mexican ex-
port tax on petroleum will be certain
to increase the cost of operating mo-
tor cars and trucks as great quaint
ties of Mexican oil are used in the
manufacture of gasoline in this coun-
try. Hence the opposition of the
Americans Automobile Association.
In a similar way, the proposed duty,
it is commended, viii vastly increase
the cost of the refined asphalt and
road oils manufactured from Mexican
oil, and consequently, will add to the
cost of building bituminous roads and
streets. While asphalt prices have
been reduced considerably during the
past year, high freight rates and cost
ly labor still have their effect. To
add to the cost now, according to
highway officials, would seriously
hamper the states, counties and mu-
inequalities in carrying out road-build-
ing programs that involve constantly
increasing use of the bituminous type
of pavement.

he said grandiloquently. RAW tur-
pentine applications when a fellow IS
helpless with lumbago is her favorits
stunt. And it is certainly calculated
to reduce the most recalcitrant spouse
to humble obedience"
He flashed me a mischeivous glance
and little Mrs. Durkee clapped her
hands.
Tell US the story she pleaded. T
know it's a good one"
I suppose am unduly sensitive, but
I suffered fortunes of embarrassment
while Dicky was relating the tale &c
my mistake, embelishing it with all
sorts of ridiculous nonsense of which
he is past master. The Durkees were
in gales Of laughter before it was fin
ished and forced myself to join in
the merriment But to my mind
trained fastidiously as / had been,
Dicky's telling the story was a breach
Of good taste and an offence to me.
The recollection Of It stayed with me
during the DINNER; marring my in
terest in the general conversation,
Finally, however, a remark of Alfred
Durkee's arrested my attention.
'aThe two places are adjoining and
there is a small lake at the back, the
ownership of which is shared by both
parties. I'd like to buy one of them
if / were only sure Of a congeniaI
neighbor. Why don't you take the
other one, Dicky?"

A CHANCE TO HELP

Attorney General Buford has called
the attention of the various civic or
CARNATIONS to the need of good homes
for the boys who make good at the
State Industrial School at Mariana
Mr.. Buford says that there are now
is white boys at the school who have
been of such exemplary conduct that
they have earned parole and the IN
stitution is ready to release them If
good homes can be found.
Mr.. Buford says that If these boys
are taken into good homes, taught
respect for law, good morals. honesty
and uprightness, they will become
good citizens. They deserve fair
chance to battle with life" Mr.. Buford
says.
Here is an opportunity for good.
There are many families where there
are no boys Many men have said
they would like to have son in the
family to play with them and work
with them. This is the chance. These
boys are young. With proper sur
roundings and proper training, they
will develop, in most cases, into up
right young men. The acts for which
they were sent to the school were, no
doubt, the result of conditions, and
with the removed of these conditions
it is practically certain that the boys
will become honorable citizens.

dying out when. early in 1912, a flood
in the Cuyahoga river, which enters
the lake at Cleveland, carried sewer
age and trade wastes out into the
cribs, through which they reached the
city mains. The trade wastes gave
to the water an unpleasant taste,
which everybody promptly blamed on
the chlorination.
The mayor bent beneath the storm
of protest. BY his order the dosage"
of chlorine was reduced and during the
ensuing nine years it has never been
high enough, the report says, to fully
counteract the ever present pollution
in the raw water

What Step is Next

What Step is Next7 :.
The pace Y resolution thing having
been signed by President Harding, all
America is waiting expectantly to see
what will be the next step this country
will take. The Charleston American,
which was strongly German dur
ing the war and which is none the less
nti-American now, declares that fol-
lowing the initial step taken the fol-
lowing three things must be done at
once:
81. A proclamation by the presi-
dent declaring the war at an end.
20. Notification to Germany and
Austria of the action of our govern
ment with a declaration of this coun-
try's willingness to resume diplomatic
and comercial relations with them.
"3. The recall of American troops
from the Rhine provinces"
The American, speaking two words
for Germany and one for America in
that program, declares further that,
cit would be. indeed, a grave breech
of international etiquette if our gov
eminent should continue to maintain
troops upon the soil of coutry with
which we are at peace" %
We wonder, in the face Of that sep
arate peace with Germany" that "let
us forget the bitterness of the past,
that recall Immediately the American
troops from the Rhine" sob stuff and
propaganda which has been stopping
over in congress, whether the Charles
ton Americans demand is what is GO
ing to be done?
Does the Charleston American,
which does everything else in it's edi-
torial but "Hoch der kaiser sing the
sentiment of those in congress who
have put this peace resolution over? If
it does, then listen while the American
rejoices that the war is over at last. 1t
says in concluding:
Unfortunately, we took part in the
war when we should have remained
out of it. Unfortunately 10000 of our
brave soldiers now lie buried beneath
the soil of France. having given their
lives in vain for liberty. Unfortunate
ly, nearly 100000 of our soldiers and
sailors at home today are MANNED for
life-the result of the war which was
fought in vain. We cannot help that
now. The blood has been spilled The
dead cannot be brought back to life
The evil cannot be corrected now. But
let us resolve that we shall renew the
old cordial relations with Germany and
with Austria which woodrow wilson's
war interrupted Thank God the war
is over at last"

PRESS COMMENT
The Sweet Bill.

The Sweet Bill.
In spite Of all the agitation concern
ing the plight of the disabled service
men, it seems almost impossible to
bring congress to the point of passing
effective legislation in their behalf
Inasmuch as nearly three years have
passed since fighting stopped on the
field Of battle, it is about time it
stopped over relief measures in con-
gress.
The greatest need at the present
time is for the assembling of all gov
ernmental relief agencies under a sim
gle, efficient, accessible head. The
Sweet bill provides for such an organt-
cation. 1t has been passed by the
house, but is now subject to the usual
senatorial haggling.
There is no need for any further
solemn investigation of abuses and
neglect in general. 1t is definitely
known that they exist. What is need
ed now is machinery for the prompt
investigation of individual claims and
their swift adjustment. The Sweet
bill provides such machinery. Why
is, it not passed?-Tampa Tribune.
