feat was due to the fact that he is
about to s'trot in double harness"
Scott Simon, said that the women de-
feated him. He said that every place
he went that he found Dallas in the
house kissing the babies and flattering
the mothera Owning 70 the size
of his shoes (Scott) he was unable to
get in the house, so that Dallas had
monopoly of these voters. Ray

smokes caused his defeat Judge Right
said his defeat was caused by his di-
gnified demcanor. Johnnie Ramsey,

that have introduced insanity pleas and testimony by medical experts: it has been such defense lawyers and not newspapers who have thrown mountain -hiGh bulwarks in the path way of justice; it has been this branch of the legal profession and not the newspapers which have all but eliminated certainty of punishment
 Newspapers with scarcely an ex- ccption, are foes 10 criminality in all its forms; reporters frequently are important aids to the police in ferret ing out crime; some notorious crim- inals have been brought to justice solely through the enterprise and ef- forts of the press.
 As for the difficulty of combating crime that may be due to diversity of races. Judge Offutt should be informed that there is as great mixture of races in Canada as there is in the United States. Several years ago an EsquimauX killed another near the Arctic circle. and though it took the northwest mounted police months 10 get to the scene. the Esquimau paid the death penalty.

SAFETY ON THE FOURTH

The safe and sane campaign with relation to celebrating the Fourth of July has been backslding, according to figures issued by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, Property loss from fireworks in 1922 amounted to s775,20s, compared with s279,39i in 1918.
 Worse than this is the loss of life, mostly of little children. As the board Of underwriters points out in a com- munication 10 newspapers, dangerous playthings in the form of many kinds of fireworks should never be placed in the hands Of chilhren. II is not nec- cssary to eliminatk the joy from the holiday, but it merely requires careful supervision by parents 10 prevent serious accidents,

since that time have been free Of such
 spirited contests, Bryan having been
 nominated in Denver in 1908 on the
 first ballot. ani Wilson in St. Louis in 1916 by acciamation, The San Fran cisco convention in 1920. however. struggled along through A ballots,
 when Cox was nominated. At this con- vGntion, the records show. John w.

 As the balloting at New York starts it appears that the issues within the party are more sIbtle than at any previous convention. The Ilu kluX lilan issue, which bobbcd it's head al the Cleveland convention, has been at New York because of the Of normally Democratic states where the Kan is supposed to be in favor. The prohibition plank. which was to give trouble is side tracked by the unfortunate schism raised by the Kan Conversations. To keep the issue from the floor of the house is the object of leaders.

THAN AS \ FARMER

Harry k. Thaw will become a farm CT and fruit grower in Virginia, thus in the eventide of his life endeavoring 10 take up something useful. If this scion of wealth had become farmer when he was about 20 years of age, had bent his back with hard work. had developed gnarled callouses on his palms from handling the rake and hoe, had made a practice of arising at a. m. and not ending his labor until after sundown. he would have had decidedly happier time than has been his lot,
 There is an old adage that idlcness is the beginning of misery; it yields opportunities 10 follow cravings that are surrounded by woe. Thaw's his- tory is a lesson to any person not too blind or mentally stultitied to com pare the viciousness Of unrestrainod pleasure with the virtue of toll.
