SOS Please come quick,
Policeman Dog, with your hickory
stick"
replied the tiny mouse housekeeper,
scampering into the sitting room to
help the poor bewildered old gentle
man bunny.
The next minute over the wire
came the kind bark of the protector
of law and order in Rabbitville:
what can l do for you right
now?" Asked the good old dog with
a kind bowWow.
Afraid something has happened
to Little Jack Rabbit" answered
anxious Uncle Lucky. He left here
over an hour ago for the dear Old
Eramble Patch"
Didn't he get there all right?'
asked the good Policeman Deg, put

We'll. I'll start off right away
quick to look for him." promised the
good old dog, and picking up his
hickory stick, he dashed out of the
station house and over to the Shady
Forest as fast as he could run.
Hurry, good kind doggie," Bobbie
Redvest cried, Il fear a dreadful
something Little Rabbit will betide."
And in the next story you shall
hear what happened after that.

CONTRACTING METHODS OF
JUSTICE

An emphasis Is found in the re-
marks of Justice McCardie, summing
up the evidence in the case of Mrs.
Dennistoun. on the contrast between
the prerogatives Of the English JUS
tice and those Of the American
courts. What the latter's personal
conclusions may be he Is not expect
ed to give utterance to them al
though he does not always success
fully conceal them. He Is supposed
to know the law and the proper
methods Of procedure, to hold the
scales of justice in proper balance
but not to throw into them the
weight of his personal opinion. Not
so the English justice.
This difference is indicated In the
common expressions of the laymen;
in England 1t is said Justice So-and-
So tried the case, whereas in this
country we say the case was tried
before such and such justice. The
former may give expression of opin-
ion respecting the evidence as may
counsel in argument, something
not permitted in our courts. And so
it was within the province of JUS
tice McCardie to say as he did of the
woman in the case: II have formed
the view that Mrs. Dennistoun is
one of the most adroit and most in
genious witnesses I have seen in so
years"
AS to the respective advantages
derived from these contrasted meth
ods there is some difference of opin-
ion among the members Of the pro-
fession, but we think the laymen in
this country would instinctively feel
that undue weight might easily at
tach to the opinion of the judge In
the conclusion of the jury, that 1t is
better to have verdict from twelve
ordinary men than to have it from
one man, and he not always, II ever,
a superman.

Now let me think winky blink
Where is my Memory Cap?
Just as I finished yesterdays story
I took Il little nap.
Oh. yes, now l recall what happen
ed. Lady Love, the bunny boys
pretty rabbit mother, had just called
Uncle Lucky on the telephone to
learn where Little Jack Rabbit was.
Dearest me-" sighed the old
gentlemn bunny, hanging up the re-
ceiver and turning to Little Miss
Mousie, Il hope nothing has happen
ed to my dear little nephew.
Don't worry. He has probably
stopped to say howdy to Squirrel
Nutcrac cker," answered the tiny
mouse housekeeper. Lady Love will
call again if he doesn't come soon.
Then it will be time enough to wor-
ry', and into the kitchen scampered
Little Miss Mousie to take the Angel
Cake from the oven.
But. oh dear me, and oh dear you,
in about 20 minutes, or %, the tele-
phone rang again.

WAKE UP

The other day a Federal grand
Jury returned indictments against IS
members Of the Cincinnati police de-
partment and % village "dry" Off
cials charged with violation of booze
and drug laws. Rumor is current
that more than a million dollars were
paid by peddlars to officers Of the
law in that district.
This does not mean that the ad-
ministration of justice in this coun-
try is 'all shot to pieces. If it were,
the cases would not have come to
court. 1t does mean, however, that
we need honest enforcement officials
to go with our laws; that we haven't
paid sufficient attention to this, that
NE haven't insisted on Congress ap-
plying the civil service law to these
officials; that we haven't done a
thousand and one things, which will
have to be done if we would protect
society.
Isn't it about time people realized
that they must go down in their
pockets and pay to have the laws en-
forced; that they must sift to the
bottom such conditions as now ex-
ist between courts and registrars in
Massachusetts; that they must
frown on maudlin Or corrupt eXer-
else of the pardoning power; that
they must insist on making their
prisons places Of discipline and up
building instead Of places Of degen-
Grafton? Surely, We aren't so SIM
pie minded as to suppose that the
laws will enforce themselves: that
officials will enforce the laws like
automatons; that some of those out
Of prison will not prey on society
unless watchd. But right now we
are acting in that simple minded
fashion. We shamble around be-
tween legislatures like a shiftless
dreamer held together by one sus-
pender, wondering who'll find the pot
Of gold at the foot of the judicial
rainbow. We talk about more dras-
tic laws when we can't get muzh-
headed juries to impose the penal
ties now made and provided. Neith-
er have we assurance such verdicts
as have been obtained will be car
ried out.
Public sentiment has been educat-
ed to condemn the fellow who sneers
at our country and flag, but it hasn't
been trained to frown on those who
would make a joke or a jimmy of
our laws. But if public sentiment
can be educated to the one. it can be
to the other. Stand by the honest
officials. Uphold their hands and
strike down the hands stretched
forth to 'get them." Let's inform
ourselves about these matters. not
leave 1t to emotionalism and poll
ticians. Let's get on this job right
away: in time we may be able to
excite the apprehension of society's
jackals II we can't command their
respect.

AN EXCELLENT BEGINNING

General Pershing has been called
to another task requiring good sense,
firmness and ability to command re-
spect for the government he repre-
sents. He has been named to head
the commission which under the
will be capable of ending 4O-year
dispute between Chile and Peru, a
situation charged with dynamite and
inducements to warfare. 1t is need
less to comment that Pershing will
do his duty as he sees it, and he has
p remarkably clear vision Of that in
which duty consists. lie gives up a
pleasure trip abroad to undertake
this commission which may have far
reaching consequences in removing
irritation between two Of our neigh
bors with whom we wish to remain
on good terms.
Peru is not reconciled to the award
but is manifesting a disposition to
accept its terms. acceptance
would be fraught with serious con-
sequences. She opposes the plebis-
cite on the somewhat reasonable
ground that the inhabitants Of the
Tacna-Arica territory in the 40 years
since Chile has dominated it have
been made over from Peruyians to
Chileans. She is assured, however,
with a commission headed by an
American Of Pershing's character, of
fair plebiscite. She is somewhat
treasured by the effort that is being
made under the award to restore to
her portion Of the territory with
out a plebiscite. On the whole an
excellent beginning has been made
Tor peaceful adjustment of that,
which unfairly treated would mean
Serious disturbance In the future.

Scarcity in the wheat crop Of the
world explained the rise in price last
fall. But what has caused the de-
crease in price? That is a pertinent
question and many are asking 1t.
The news reports have told of no
supplies Of wheat since put on the
market and Russia is said to be suf-
fering from shortage, though wheth-
er Russia's masters have sold wheat
which that people need and which it
was supposed they would keep is not
clear. II the depression be due to
speculation that fact should be re-
vealed and those responsible for it
be made to feel public disapproval,
however little that might affect them.

That old-time hymn "Shall We

MAINE GOSSIP

A Friend
Lives there one who, knowing you,
Sees in everything you do
Something worthy to commend:
Rest assured he Is friend.
One who, seeing you each day.
When at work or at your play,
Always seems to comprehend;
Stick to him, he is your friend.
If he knows your every mood,
Happy, scrappy. when you brood,
Yet stands ready to defend;
Then, at last, you've found THE
friend.
Wealth or power will not suffice
For this Pearl of greatest price"
EIe is richest in tho end
who has found faithful friend.
Anon.
