DOG CAUGHT HIS OWN FISH
Sportsman Given Authority for Re-

a London Periodical.

The London 200" fishing cat which
SD steadfastly refuses to show ITSELF

the fishing dog. says London Answers.
A sportsman was on the west coast
of Madagascar, when he observed a
dog come out of the thick bush in
front of him and trot briskly down to
the edge of the "a. When 1t had got
a little way into the water 1t stopped

heron might when fishing at home. Its
glance was never once taken off the
water. :
Suddenly 1t thrust its head into an
oDcoming wave, and reappeared with a
large fish in it's mouth. Quickly TAX
ing it's capture ashore it squatted
down and made a hearty meal. After
a while the fishing operation was re-

Condensation by
Miss Carolyn Wells

Twice In HIS later years did william
Makepence Thackeray seek temporarily
another career than that Of authorship.
shortly before writing "The Virgin
ians1 he tried unsuccessfully to cap
ture a seat In parliament. Politics had
always attracted him, although his
temperament was wholly ~unsuited to
popular demands.
He was q radical, sy~mpnthizing with
Richard Golden In his anti-corn law
fight. 81 would like to see all men
equal" he wrote I'm 1910. "nnd this
bloated aristocracy blasted to the wings
Of all winds."1 He was nevertheless
absolutely opposed to any attempt ON
the part Of the people to win their
rights by force. His attitude In I'm
teresting In the light Of todny's radi-
calism, az IL also his hrm advocacy of
Ireland's right to have home rule.
After nnishing "The v~irsinians,r
Thackeray became h first editor Of
the COrnhil1 magazine. His own wide
popularity practically insured the
initial success OF the venture. OF the
first number 100000 copies were sold.
The most distinguished writer's of the
day were attracted as contributor
through h editors prestige, and the
furnished magazine readers
with better fiction and articles than
can be found today in my successful
English periodical.
Although Thackeray wa a good
editor In many ways, he was handi-
capped by too tender a heart. He could
not refuse poems and articles, however
uninspired and ever maudlin, If the
writer's needed money. So a few months
later he gladly resigned his position
and returned to novel writing. .

and reasonable doubt program Is the
direct cause of our murder record
which shows that only a trifle over one
percent of our murders are executed.
AS a result of this there are more
murders in the United States per mil
lion of inhabitants than the combined
millions of Great Britain and all
Europe, committing Russia.
In 1919 there were more murders in
| Chicago with a population of 100000
than in all the British Isles, with a
population of 40, 900, 600. Chicago was
not exceptional and the crime record
in the United States today continues to
be Just as appalling as it was in 1919.
Why? Our policy of justice and mercy
encourages crime The Ball crimes are
typical of those that happen every day.
The result of the trial is typical of all
sections of the United States. The
viewpoint of the Press is not narrow.
It does not apply to n particular
case, to one particular county or state.
Our best citizens are not doing their
duty, are encouraging crime, n are
exacting the cost of crime, from those
who deserve our protection
A matter of opinion? Yes, to be sure.
But supported by ~undeniable facts
some of which the Press has attempt
ed to illustrate in its own little COM
munity If we respect and fear the
law we will obey it. Punishment be-
gets fear. Crime is committed by those
who have been taught moi to fear the
law. This lack of fear and disrespect
for the law Is created largely by 1urie1
, tempered to strongly with mercy and

The Press submits also that the jury
did not try the case on the evidence
and law, or that if it did it took Mr..
Balls own testimony in preference to
two disinterested eye witnesses, the
complaining witnesses testimony and
the testimony of Mr.. England; and
further, that in either case a crime
WAC committed and the guilty Was not
punished.
The Press believes the accused was
as guilty as hell. Also that good citi-
zenship consists of more than merely
keeping out of Jail. Also that a re
vengeful heart is not a necessary ad-
iunct to either conviction.

Roy, Idaho. Dec. 26, 1924.
Dear Editor
Please give space In your letter col
umns for the following:
] take exception TO the article on the
front page, also the Editorial In the
Press OF Dec. 20, regarding the Bali
trial. You print nothing except the
States side, and according to my idea
take a very narrow minded view.
You say nothing regarding Mr.. Eng
lands testimony, and mention nothing
Nj. Brandt's different stories In
regard 10 how the empty she'll hap
pened TO be In his gun. Surely Mr.
England's testimony should be con
sidered as | believe he is a respectable
and honorable citizen or he would no
hold the position of County Commits
sionor. Don't you believe you should
have printed all the evidence given a.
the trial, then the citizens who were
not present, could have determined
whether or not they thought Mr.. Bal
should have been acquittedY
| certainly am not willing TO punish
n man without a fair trial, and woult
not allow personal feelings to enter
into the case.
| heard a remark, that the STATE
could not convict a man with a Roy
Jury, as we do not believe In law ant
order, but | think by looking up oul
Sheriff's records, you will not find
single Arrest in the past 8 years, for
iawless act, committed at Roy or vioin

your state of mind does not crave re

MAKING OUR DEMOCRACY

A democracy progresses or 1t be-
comes a poor democracy like most OF
the South American republics. A
democracy develops Its benefits until
ALL THE PEOPLE are benefited, or
II Is no democracy at all.
Since our republic was established,
the general government has spent un-
told millions and billions Of dollars In
our cities where people are gathered
In the mass. Carloads of money have
gone for million dollar postoffices.
great harbor improvements and other
projects benefiting that massed part
OF the population. Every year tens OF
millions are paid out to the employees
OF Uncle Sam who live and work in
the cities.
Where the government spends five
million dollars In a city OF 100, 900 peo-
pei, how much does II spend on an ag-
ricultural county of 100000 people and
IN which are located only a few small
towns and villages2
ANSWER: SO small an amount as
TO be absolutely absurd In comparison.
III IL spends the one-hundredth part
of that sum, or $4,000 In such O
county that county thinks q miracle
has happened.
The government ought to spend al
least ns much of the public taxes and
of the receipts from Its bonds wherf
one 30 per cent of the total popula-
tion lives as II spends where the other
so per cent lives How2
To the mind Of this editor the FtrsI
Necessity Is The Paving and Sewer

ters, the small towns OF the nations

the convenience, the educational ad
vantage and the comfort of the Who'll,
community. and TO advance the civil
solidarity of the whole community sur

ford such projects; they will do wei

The government can and should al
