a PROCESS OF EDUCATION

The statement of Judge Sease that
the petit jurors were to blame for
the disrepute into which the law is
last coming is all too true. But there
are others who are likewise to blame.
Lentent Judges who postpone trials
from time to time ION flimsy excuses
and executives who yield to political
expediency or for other reasons abuse
the pardon power and unscrupulous
lawyers are likewise I'm some degree
guilty All OF our judges unfortun-
ately are not so fearless. so strict, as
is Judge Sease. Good men, all of
them, but some are prone to ALLOW
teehnicalities to retard substantial
Justice. We need hardly go further
than the kirby case to find an, ex-
ample OF the abuse of the pardoning
power. This arch criminal had once
been found guilty Of a crime, which,
il an reports are true, was very SINH
lar TO the one for which he was SEN
fenced to death Tuesday. BY a miracle
his victim escaped death and Kirby
z
was sentenced to term I'm the peni-
tentiary, only to be later pardoned
and turned ioose to instigate and to
have 1erpetrated one Of the foulest
deeds that ever diseraced our crimi-
nal annals.
The Mosaic doctrine Of an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth is a
stern one. It Is no milk and water
BROTH Its rigorous application SO
necessary to the peace and tranquillit,
of our country. requires men Of cour.
{ age and Discrimination in the jur,
box. on the bench and in the execu
tive chair. In the measure in which
we have them to that degree will re
spect for law increase.
When our juries realize more full,
the solemn responsibility which rest
upon them and when righteous yer
dfcts,are not overthrown at the behes
of interested parties then will daw1
a better era for respect of law ant
obedience to its mandates. There mus
be process Of education all alonf
the line before real progress can b,
made.

CANDIDATE HOOK COMES
BACK AT CANDIDATE TAYLOR

To the Editor Of The DISPATCH News.
NJ, opponent in the race for Pro-
bate Judge, Mr.. Chas. E. Taylor. made
some inferential remarks abou, me in
the last issue of your paper. Will Won
not allow me a small bit of your
'aluaple space to make reply to the
lnslnuations concerning me contained
in the last paragraph Of his lengthy
article.
LII ms article he asks the people to
please don't forget that L live right
here in Lexington and will be on duty
at all times, if elected. You will not
have to- ride here from a long distance
and have to return home and make
the trip some other time in order to
see me. While this is only an in
sinuaton, it is quite clear that it was
intended to convey the idea that T
would not attend to the duties Of the
office should l be elected Probate
Judge. If that is what was intend
ed, l beg. to say that Mr.. Taylor IN G
'i'o' "Hich ne oOeS not know
and cannot prove. 1t is true he fol-
lows this with the statement, II do
not attempt to say that my opponent
would not render the same service,
etc. but 1T only serves to prove my
statement that he was attempting. for
political purposes, to create an i'm
preston that he did not know to be
true and that he cannot prove to be
true. had made no attack on Mr..
Taylor and had given him no occa-
sion to make this underhanded attack
on me.
In addition to what have quoted,
he had this to say: And if my op-
Donenr is elected, watch and see who
will be the real Probate Judge" If
Mr.. Taylor had anything to say about
me why didn't he come out like a
man and say it, and not be limiting
and insinuating? I leave that for the
people to answer believing they can
see through his tactics we'll enough
without suggestion from me. But if
anybody is interested, 1 can tell them
here and now who will be and who
won't be Probate Judge, if am elect
ed. If 1 am elected, WALTER F..
HOOK WILL BE PROBATE JUDGE
and responsible for the conduct of the
Office. I hope the gentleman is suf-
ficiently answered, and that we will
not have any more of this round about
talk. l am running this race on my
own merit, as a man and a citizen
and will appreciate the support of all
good citizens in the county.

A CARD FROM MIR. DENT.

In reply to an article published in
your paper of last weeks issue by
Mr.. c. E. Taylor, wish to say to the
good people of Lexington county that
I have made no attack upon any can
didate sor candidates in the race for
Probate Judge. -
My chief purpose has been ever
since the movement began to dismem-
ber this county, namely, (the Brook
land annex proposition to Richland
county, to work and endeavor to keep
the county as a unit. This have
done and still am doing with no apol-
ogy to Mr., Taylor or any one elsen
am not memberxof amy ring,
never have been, and never expect
to be. I stand upon my merit and
the only purpose that i now have IS
to hold the county as it stands, forfI
we'll know If we.are dismembered IN
the project now pending the people of
this county will lose.}at least 80 per
cent. of the total taxable property
which loss will certainly cause the
people who remain to pay more taxes;
The sign of the times points to
lower taxation and in sympathy with
this movement I am allowing nothing
to deter me from using my personal
rights as citizen to defeat any move
ment that would tend to increase our
taxes rather than lessen them.

Small Game Increasing .

Madison-A plentiful supply of
game in northern Wisconsin for
many years to come is predicted by
w. F. Barber, chairman of the
state conservation commission. Ac-
cording TO Mr.. Barber, who has
been member of the commission
since its formation III 1915, during
the last ten years there has been
an increase in all kinds of game
except deer.
THE decrease in the number of
deer, +" said Mr. Barber, is due
not to hunting, but to settlements
which are invading the deer terri
tory. The new buck law, which
permits a hunter to kill but one
one year old buck a season has re
suited in the woods being full of
does and fawns. This condition
means plentiful future supply.
The increase in the number of
squirrels, rabbits and similar game
is explained by the FIVE bag law,
which limits a hunter to FIVE kills
a day. The shortening of game
seasons also is factor.
Five years ago it was thought
that cartridges could never again
be hunted in Wisconsin. Now,
however, after the fve.year closed
season, there are more cartridges
than | ever saw when use to hunt
thirty-fve years ago"
Wisconsin and New York lead
i'll efficient conservation. Michigan
and Minnesota are both giving an
increasing amount of attention to
such measures, but SO far they
have fewer wardens and less effici-
emf organization.
Not enough persons recognize
the resources of Wisconsin" said
Mr.. Barber. I'VE have about H.
ooo, 900 acres of cutover forests in
the state. Already six tracts of
land have been set aside for state
parks, in one of which is water
fall surprising Minnehaha falls in
beauty. Such vast natural resources
Justify large expenditure of
money for conservation.

reAcHlNa TnE cLAssIcs.

Dean West 10 right ia telling the
American Classical league at its Phila-
delphia meeting that there is more
criticism nowadays OF the methods Of
teaching the classics than Of their
intrinsic value. Their contact at
thousand points with modern life and
thought is not denied; the broad basis
they form for culture is admitted. A
certain reaction in their favor has oe-
Cured In the educational world.
Teachers Of English have always been
their warm champions, and the teach
ers Of history and the modern Latin
tongues friendly. But teachers OF
mathematics and science now begin
to see, as DR.. Paul Shorey pointed out
years ago, that the best methods OF
teaching the classics are SO much ike
the best methods Of teaching exact
science that these two branches of
liberal education should regard each
other with firm cordiality, says the
New York Post. The student who
comes up to college after thorough
study Of Latin, Greek, or both, is bet
ter prepared to take up science than
the student who has been trained In
less exacting courses.

New Years

The old year is dead-long live

comes the chance to start afresh, the
chance to profit by the mistakes of
another year and rebuild the new on
a iirmer basis of understanding
Some student of psycho-analysis
claims that we wake every morning
a different person than that one of
the day before. Nothing that we do,
nothing that happens to us, but leaves
its impression on our personality,
either to our detriment or to our
betterment as the case may be. We
cannot escape the results of our own
deliberate actions though we may
think we do because the result is not
obvious. But our motives as well as
our actions leave their indelible stamp
on our personality. which is in reality
the sum total of our mental, physical
and spiritual being. On this person
atty depends the individuals success
or failure In life.
But how fortunate it is that the
personality is susceptible to change.
that it is in our power to impress up
on 1t those things that give it a
strength and power that will coun-
terbalance the pull of mistakes and
weaknesses There are those who
say, ooh, what's the use. | was born
that way and can't help It," They
have the conception that their per-
sonality, or character if you choose
to call 1t so, is a fixed and static
thing, while in reality they have only
trapped the resources of that per-
sonality. They do not know them
selves There was never more wisdom
packed into phrase than, "Know
thyself .
The new year is good time to take
inventory of yourself Review your
experience and search out the mis-
takes and weaknesses of preceding
years, 80 that you will know them
and can avoid deeper growing of
the impression by not repeating them.
Use your mistakes as stepping stone
tosomething better. Everybody makes
them or why the eraser" as some
one has remarked. But avoid repeat
ing them AS each repetition wears the
impression deeper until You have
formed a rnt of habit. Recognizing
the wrong, you are on the way to
discovering the right. A good habit
when formed is just as insistent as a
bad one.
