THE SINS OF A STATE

| trial. got another lawyer and with a change of venue was tried in Surry county But this time the little com onwealth's attorney was no match for the defense and the man was cleared Where was justice in such case? Perhaps neither in the death sentence nor in complete par don.
 Our third count against the state is in permitting justice to depend upon the wit or non-wit of the ar guments of lawyers rather than upon the law and evidence in the case. Presumably every case is tried by the law and evidence but great lawyers working on very human and emo- tional juries may turn black to white and white to black. Justice should never depend upon an attorneys ability to create psychology in the minds of jurors nor upon the size of the purse in retaining legal tall ent. Why not let the lawyers advise clients and interpret the law, but keep their oratory away from the jury?
 attack upon lawyers, many of whom are excellent Christian men and among whom we have many warm personal friends. It Is a criticism of some of the things permitted by the modern state. Howbeit we should like to see the lawyers a little more careful in the use of the sacred scriptures in the trials. Who has ever heard of self-defense as a plea but that the lawyer quoted the scrip ture, "All that a man has will he give for his life9" True. that is in the scripture, but they are words of the devil Cread the context It is the devil speaking) and have always been lie. A man, if he is a man, places tho virtue of woman, the de- fense of children, the love of coun- try, the protection of his home and his own honor ahead of his own life and would give his life for any of these.
 Our fourth count against the state is in not bringing the laws up to the teaching of Christ The idea of capi- tai puni shment is based on the law of Moses and yet the teaching of Jesus has been known to the Christian world for 2.000 years. An eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" is not found in the Sermon on the Mount No, Moses taught that doctrine for q ecruder age. but Jesus taught some thing else. <
 If any man objects to this hon- fly, let him rave on. The Kingdom of God, though fostered and upheld by the churches. is bigger than all the churches. The principle of the same ought to be in evesy courthouse of this glorious union of ours.

 Now York, May 13.-You can tell that summer is near because here- abouts the tulips are In full flame and so is the silly season. It Is strange how warm weather always brings out the innate childlike phase of the New York temperament. It even gets the policeman
 For example. dropping the search for holdups and shakedowns, the New York police are concentrating on pet dogs. In one day 1s women were brought before magistrate be- cause they had allowed their dogs to seamper unleashed through Cram mercy park. Each of the IS women, all of them ladies of means and one of them cousin 10 British peer, was fined S2 and solemnly warned of the henfousness of her offense. Maybe the vegas aren't muzzled yet. Maybe the loft burglars are still unleashed. But no one can now reproaeh this town with the fact that a man eat ing toy spaniel is at large on the lilac bordered paths of the parkfet.
 And for another example, look at Civic Nirtue-a thing which everyone is doing even though the MacMonies statue has been walking on the ladies in plain daylight for a fort night. Just because summer weather and press agent arrived at the same time, the rough guy"-as we Gothamites affectlonately know him bids fair to become a patron saint of foolishness. Meet me at Rough's" is what you say to your boy friend when discussing the noon hour.
 Faith In Little
 It Is what the press agent of a. ballet said to half dozen ladies who put their faith the other day in wisp of gauze and a nickels worth of adhesive tape. Barefooted. bare headed. and bare-well, anyway, they danced and danced and danced while crowd of 500 gathered and every one wondered how people get away

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It Is that 20 many products that are ex'
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many, years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re.
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has 50 large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact
80 many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post Address

Insight

Insight.
Find a man whose words paint you
a likeness, you have found a man
worth something; mark his manner Of
doing it, as very characteristic of him.
In the first place, he could not have
discerned the object at all. or seen the
vital type of 1t, unless he had, what
we may call, sympathized with it
had sympathy in him to bestow on OBJ
jects. 1t is his faculty. the man Of
a business faculty, that he discern the
true likeness, not the false, superficial
one, of the thing he has got to work
in. And how much of mortality IL In
the kind Of insight we get of anything

brought with 1t the faculty Of seeing!"
