significant note in the dispatches
from Germany is that the workers
are apathetic, being convinced the
profiteers among their own country
men are exploiting them to the limit
and the French regime can't be
worse. This surely is not state of
mind conducive to patriotism and
Nerxes demonstrated the futility of
logging troops into battle.

RENALDINo CASE DECISION

The denial of the appeal of the con
 victed men in the Renaldino murder
 case was merely holding by the Su-
 preme Court of Appeals that there
 was sufficient evidence to support the verdict. On such an appeal the men are not tried over again. The appel late court does not take the place of the jury at all, It has before it only the words of the witnesses as they appear in print, and if such state- ments of witnesses are sufficient to support verdict Of guilty, there will be no reversal of the judgment where the appeal was taken as being against the weight of evidence.
 Thre is a mistaken belief that if the judges of the higher courts should differ from the members of the jury who heard the case when the defend ants were put on trial, they will grant the appeal and send the case back for a new trial. The judges Of the higher courts do not take this position. They disavow ability to judge on the facts of the case as well as the jurors could the latter having seen and heard the witnesses and having been in a posi- tion to make up their minds from the appearance, manner and words of witnesses as to who was telling the truth. If then, there is in the record sufficient evidence to justify the find- ing on the facts by the jury, the ap- pellate court takes it for granted that those jurors came to the proper con- clusion and those judges will refuse to say to those jurors that, although they were in better position to judge the facts than are the judges who merely read the testimony nevertheless those judges believe the jurors erred. Unless then, some glar- ing error in the admission of some damning bit of evidence was commit ted in the trial and attention through ''an exception" was taken to this error and it is called to the attention of the higher court, the decision of the jury in such a case will stand if it appears from the record that the jury had good reason for reaching its conclu- sion. Thus in every such case learned judges pay a sincere tribute, through the law, to the opinion of men who are not lawyers, in their declaration to the effect that You, who heard the witnesses tell about this thing are better judges as to whether or not the accused were, in fact, guilty, than are we whose duty it is to pass not upon the facts but the law in this sort of case"

CHURCH GAINS

Many people who have taken pleas ure in decrying the trend of the times and in mourning the alleged tendency toward frivolity will be astonished to note that at least one church de- nomination shows a greater gain in membership for the last year than in any previous year in the history of that denomination. The best year in this denomination was 16 years ago Attntion is called to this fact for the purpose Of again strengthening tR belief that things are not as bad as many would have us think and that after all, there is some hope for the world. Membership in churches does not increase when peoples thoughts are all turned in the wrong direction. There may be a growing tendency to discuss theology and to break away from orthodox beliefs, but increases ill church membership suggest that people are glVlng serious thought to things spiritual and are holding fast to the conviction that, whatever theo- logical difference may arise. neverthe- less the church is an institution which must be encouraged.
 The most recent figures on the number of persons entering the minis try surprised, as these church mem- bership figures surprise. Although there is constant appeal being made for more clergymen these figures showed an increasing number of young men devoting their lives to this sacred work. All of which is encour- aging to those who believe in the fu- ture peace and happiness of the world.

THINK OF SPRING

We are 'off" preachings, New Years resolutions, as such, and simi- lar dictatorial, "elevating" effusions. But just about this time every year there comes the feeling that Spring certainly is not very far off and, after winter, spring is something else means, but last Saturday, for instance, brought the conviction that there would not be any harm in thinking about it a bit and wondering if we could not make it more worth while sort of spring than any we have ever enjoyed.
 Granting that in the spring a young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts that have nothing to do with business; grant that in the spring q middle aged mans fancy turns less lightly, perhaps, but turns, nevertheless. to things not connected with business anu STdultu that III the SprlnE an older mans fancy is not all on busi- ness-granted all these things, yet it is worth while to remind ourselves that with a new season-ospeciall spring-there comes new deal. If we are lucky the old winter clothes are put aside and something fresh takes their place. If we are courage ous the old, winter thoughts--or the dismal ones at least-are put aside and fresh, energetic young thoughts, full of vitality. come to take their place.
 Now that is what happens when spring comes. It hasn't come yet, but we do want to be ready for it when it does come and the best way to get ready is to begin to think about it bit and be all set to grab those new, courageous, fine thoughts when spring brings them to us. Let's go.
