 Although sentiment can hardly be divorced from sterner considerations n any process dealing with human ielinquencies and suffering, yet even
 sentiment is not a proper subject for
 judicial scorn. Were it not for senti- nent, courts would not exist, for even
 he desire that the guilty shall be pun shed is in part sentimental. Perhaps
 here is no judge who has not seen
 urors swayed more by sentiment than y logic, and no judge who has pro- lounced sentence without knowing hat sentiment as well as law has col 'red his judgment and tempered jus ice with mercy, or else prompted a everer sentence because of the senti- nent aroused by the culprit's injury o others. Thus those who condemn eminent condemn also themselves.
 The deeper significance of these popular murmurs against injustice and to convicts has been entirely lndetected by both the governor and is convict officials. It is that not

\ MEMORIAL TO LEE

Strangely enough, while all other rssnfes.ions have long recognized the necessity of formal training o1 l's mAmbers as a prerequisite to success the profession of journalism has pro ceeded and succeeded on the opposite theory that a long apprenticeship with newspapers is the only royal road to competence therein. That such tram inc i, sound and successful cannot be rainsaid. Opinion has now begun to change in that particular, however and schools of journalism are definite narts of every one of the larger unl- versailles, that at Columbia perhaps be- ing the best known, but Chicago, liar ward, Leland Stanford and others are doing substantial work along this line. If many smaller institutions journal ism is taught, if not as a separate A prowession, at least in connection with other courses. It is A tribute to the sagacity and foresieht of General Robert E. Lee that he was one of the first Americans to perceive the necessity of develop ing the field of formal instruction in Journalism, and established courses Tn this profession at the university which bears his name, and of which he was president. Perhaps General Lee would ask no more enduring monu
 nent to his memory than the endow ment of a school of journalism at tns Washington and Lee University a Lexington, Virginia, for he perceived how intimately the newspaper is as sociated with the daily life of the peo ple. and how great an influence 10 ' right principles the right sort of news paper inevitably exerts. Surely mel trained from youth in those principle would be a contribution which tn K profession could not refuse to accept Y nor would it. There have been grea Journalists in the past who nav risen to commanding eminence by tn fong road of experience and apprer ticeship in all the departments of
 newspaper. Some of them reached \ high level of excellence beyond whic
 no future journalist, no matter ho
 carefully trained, will ever rise. b'
 it is probable that they would ha'
 reached their eminence earlier in Ii:
 and thus extended their period 5s'

 had the advantages of class-roo

JEWELRY ON CREDIT
New Policy - Bell Jewelry Company
Permits Easy Payments.

The business of the Bell, Jewelry
company will be done on n credit basis
in the future, according to an an
nouncement made last week by Pasco
j. Scaperlanda, manager of the COM
pany. This change in the policy of
the establishment will go into effect
Saturday, and Mr.. Scaperlanda states
that it marks nothing revolutionary
in the way of change because the
Bell Jewelry company, ever since 1t
was first established ~ years ago,
has, like all other business in this
country, been more or less conducted
on credit basis.
Mr.. Scaperlanda states that the
time has passed when only the
wealthy can afford to purchase jew
clry, and when only the wealthy can
get credit in reputable establishments.
Modern business, states Mr.. Scaper-
landa. is largely built on faith, and
the Bell Jewelry company proposes
to do business with all employed
honestminded people on that same
basis of faith, on the basis of trust
ing in their promise to pay.
The Bell Jewelry company will
maintain the same high standard of
merchandise that it has always main
stiined. Mr.. Scaperlanda states that
there arc many people who would like
Rto buy good jewelry if they could do
so on easy terms, so that they could
wear it and enjoy it while they were
paying for il. The policy of the Bell
Jewelry company will make this pos
sble, for the finest merchandise in
the house will be sold on an easy

vanced in sewing win make afternoon
