TWO MURDER CASES IN

der cases on docket for trial, that
of Fred Catchins, charged with hav-

Button, in January, of this year,
and the other is Hub Pitts, charged
with having killed Severon. All the
parties are negroes and both defend
ant are now in jail awaiting court.
Outside of the above cases the
criminal docket will be very light I'M
less some indictments are returned,
as few warrants are out it is thought
there will be very little criminal
business.

case of V. D. Wheel VS.. Georgia

for trial at this term, this case be-
ing damage suit for $25, 900 for
personal injuries alleged to have
been received by Wheel here in

err had a chance.
1t was born into hard living condi-
tons, reared in the streets, misera-
bly, schooled if at all, infected with
all the mental and moral microbes
there thai make for LESSONS.
Consequently, it sees things up
side down, like man looking through
a camera. Work is dreary and unin-
teresting, the mind is never allowed
to develop any resources within itself,
the starved nature cries out for
amusement and diversion, it hungers
for interest and ray Of hope, and
society gives it dull tenement walls,
dirt and the ethics Of the street.
Crime offers adventure, excitement
and a living outside the deadly fac
tory. The wonder isn't that crime
percentages increase but that they
don't increase faster.
1t is a great analytical chemist
that makes all this clear, line by line
before US. So then, he says, having
created the criminal we proceed to
punish our own creature by causing
him to suffer horribly. What for? To
cure up the lesion and enable him to
see what bad business this is?
Not for a moment. To get even
with him. Avenge ourselves be-
cause he has made trouble for rs,
or caused US 20 worry about oui
money bags o. something.
So next, when we have tortured
him enough to square this account,
we turn him loose that he may make
more trouble for us.
Meantime, we never once think
about Furnishing the real cuIprits
Who are they? Just ourselves.
Follow this wonderful bit of social
chemistry and see, 1t is even more
1t is the great Indictment of human
blindness and folly we have had in
this generation and if we should stop
to think about it findings there

Mexico will be without revoul-

new president Of the republic will be
elected by popular vote in Septem-

Among political observers 1t is con-

ident Obregon, Secretary Of Interior
Gales, and Secretary of Treasury de
la Huerta will stand as a unit in the
next election. President Oregon is
barred by an article of the constitu-

Secretary Gales, considered by many
as his logical successor, will doubt
less enter the race, unless his health
which of late has given him much
concern forces him to abandon poll
ties altogether.

SOCIALIST EDITOR
CALLS j. 5. CRIMINAL
Russell Says America VIII Lay
Aside Business To Study
Question Some Day

NEW YIRK, March 10 Some dav
In this country we are going to stop
lay aside other business, and think
about just one thing, towit: Why is
this the most criminal country on
earth? says Chas. E. Russell, who is
known as one of the leading Social
lists in the u. S. By profession a news
paper man, writer of magazine ar
ticles and books on sociology and
literature, he has been twice the
New York Socialists candidate for
governor, was sent with this cOuntry's
special diplomatic mission to Russia
in 1917, served during the war as the
United States Committee on Pub
lie Information representative in
England and was a member of the
presidents industrial commission in
1919.
We shall not do this until some big
explosion roars in our ears and com
pels us to do it, because that is the
pleasing way we have about every
thing. But we are going to do it, be
sure of that, because the explosion
will be provided all right, and then
we shall have no choice.
About that time we shall turn to a
remarkable study on this subject
lately made by a man that knows.
We shall come back to this study
then and wonder why we didn't pay
attention to it while there was still
time to head off the blow-up.
This man is lawyer that for 43
years has been observing crime and
criminals, storing up facts about
them, and trying to discover why
we are SO richly oVer-supplied with
them.
Besides a rare faculty for obseva-
ton, he has other equipment for
his job. He can think, and he can
make his thinking clear.
Why is a criminal, anyway?
1t looks like the worst business in
the world. AS rule it pays next
to nothing, and so far as reasoning
persons can discover it hasn't sin
gle thing about it to commend it. To
go into it seems like the rankest kind
of foolishness. Yet every year a
larger per centage of young men
seem to be taking it up as an occu-
patton. Why should this be If we
keep on at this rate we shall have
to enlarge our iRils, double our po-
lice forces and add new courts. Well,
then, why?
Come with Clarence barrow, this
cool-minded, clear-thinking lawyer
and find out. He has just written a
book about it, "Crime, It's Causes and
Treatment" that goes down to the
beginnings and analyses the last
shred Of causation. He is kind OF
sociological chemist touch of acid
here, a fash Of blow-pipe flame there,
and then he picks up what is left and
shows you. 1t Is the seeds Of the
whole story.
He goes at it logically and deliber-
ately. First he makes clear what
crime is, APPOINT possessed. Then he
takes his crimisal and dissolyes the
mind that can't see how rotten bust
ness is crime. Then he exhibits to
you the results.
There is a lesion is the mind that
can't see the truth about crime and
so goes into it. Why is lesion? Be-
cause this mind never had a chance to
grow naturally. 1t is like a tree
planted in a cellar 1t may have in
herited from former cramped-up
minds tendency to lesion. That isn't
important, 1t would overcome this
tendency if it had chance. 1t new

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARkEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients, at
very little cost. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even
ly. You dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

heal eruptions such as rash, pimrles and

1t seldom fails to remove the torment

to wait for relief from embarrassment.
Improvement quickly shows. Sufferers
from skin trouble should obtain small
jar of Rowles Mentho Sulphur from
any good druggist and use it like cold
