Smoke.
No, l am not the fire, the flame, the

l am but the smoke
Which fingers in the atmosphere
And slowly disappears.
l am not that substantial part
Which is food for fire,
And neither am
The ashes which remain.
l am that bit of gray nothingness
Which slowly passes on.
My inheritance is fire which burned

My legacy is but perhaps fleeing

Which is at best non-consequential.

Tears And Justice

the opinion of Superior Judge Timo-
thy ID. Hurley, of Chicago In a
breach of promise suit before him
the other day, he reprimanded the
plaintiff when she began TO sob on
the witness stand. The court then
ordered the jury from the room un-
Ill she regained control of herself.
"The time has passed." Judge
Hurley declared to her from the
bench, when woman's tears may
be allowed to influence jury. Moth
ing but the facts in this case are to
affect the jurors. II / thought that
sympathy for you because of your
attitude induced them to bring in
verdict favorable to you, | would set
the verdict aside"
Tears admittedly have been big
factor in law suits, as in other
spheres of human activity. Adroit
attorneys for generations have
known how to play upon women's
feelings in an effort to gain the
verdict for the side they represent
ed; and as often as not, they have
succeeded. Theoretically at least,
tears have no place in the law. As

of those who are interested In per-
sonal advancement, and really
think more Of that than they do the
/ future Of the party from which they
ask the nomination. There is just
one big issue that all are agreed
upon, and that is that If Vic Dona-
hey is a candidate for another term,
he is going TO be mighty hard to de
feat. Most of this investigation"
talk is deplored by deep thinking
Republicans, and it is all being
made by two men who are not can
didates for office this year, who are
muddying up the waters to such an
extent that clarification is going to
be mighty difficult. C. c. Crabbe
and J. T. Tracy are not asking fur
ther favors from the Republican
party, and just why they are SO in
terested in starting things that they
don't finish is a political puzzle be-
yond most of those who have follow
ed the game. The big issue will be
to defeat man for governor who
has been absolutely honest. No per-
son can question the honesty of
Vic Donahey, and that seems to
count more than the future of any
political party at the hands of the
voters. Fact is that there are more
Democratic Republicans in Ohio to-
day than ever before-or to make it
palmer, there are more voters who
look at the honesty of public Off
cials than at the party emblem.
Now that the state is assured of

this plant has been long and hard |
one, and Governor Donahey has won
a splendid victory in the final out
