“ AN UNFORTUNATE FACT.”
The New Turk Star that unimpeach-
able democratic authority speaking
concerning high license and prohibition
utter* the following relating to crime In
general and its punishment and the
connection of the laws therewith :
••The laws against crime are not pri-
marily intended to make men better.
They are designed to defend society
against criminals. Their remedial ef-
fects are secondary and up to the pres-
sent time have not been very efleotlve.”
The facts may be as stated by the Star.
If so they are most unfortunate and tin
palatable facts. The laws againgt crime
are not primarily intended to reform
criminals and have little etleot even
secondarily to accomplish that end.
This admission Is an unintentional ar-
raignment of the whole criminal law of
this country and of all its processes
Such an admission might have been al-
lowed to pass a century since but not
now. The philanthropy human-
ity and morality of this age
not to say Its Christianity Is di-
rectly challenged by this declara-
tion of the Star. It is In effect to say
that law leaves the consideration of the
prisoner adjudged guilty of crime
completely out of sight and only con-
cerns itself with defending society from
his antagonism. It leaves out of the ac-
count every enquiry into the causes
which have vitiated and corrupted the
youth or the manhood and bends all its
powers to the act of defending society
against the criminal. It never thinks of
defending the character and the habits
and the life of the child from the de-
moralizations and corruptions of that
same society by which it is criminated
in thought and feeling and in purpose
and action. That is something which
the law does not consider; but when so-
ciety has suffered the criminal to be
made such by its own indifference and
neglect or visciousness then it seizes
its own victim as a monster to be extir
pated and wreaks upon him the pun-
ishment itself has largely deserved. The
criminal carelessness of society In Its
indifference to the making and develoo-
ment of law breakers is in horrible con-
trast to its virtuous spasms in dealing
with the crime itself has permitted if
not connived it It is almost time that
the burden of responsibility for crimes
particularly the crimes of young per-
sons was placed where It belonged and
society made to bear its share of that re-
sponsibility. The law which permits
the criminal education of youth as now
conducted has no moral right to punish
for the crime itself might prevent. The
responsibility of society for its members
does not begin only after a course of ac-
tual crime has been entered upon. The
society which punishes for crime is
morally bound as far as in it lies to pre-
vent that education which naturally and
necessarily ends in crime. If not. then
society is a monster unnatural and in-
human.
COOLEY GIVES REASONS.
Judge Cooley in an Interview gives
Ids reasons for the order of the inter-
state commission in the matter of the
long and short haul clause of the law in
so far as regards the railway system of
the south and sou.hwest. As was anti
clpated by those who were acquainted
with the judicial Impartiality and men-
tal grasp of the chairman of the com-
mission those reasons are pre-eminent-
ly sound and in full accord witli a wise
consideration for the business interests
ot the country. The principal of these
reasons are that the time between the
appointment of the commission and the
date at which the law went into effect
was so short that no opportunity was
given tt.e commission to make itself ac-
quainted with the whole railway situa-
tion of the country and especially in its
complications with the water-way com-
petitions of the south and west. Mr.
Cooley says that the representations
made of the hardships that the new law
would entail upon such roads led the
commission to conclude as they did
that justice required they should
move slowly and not take tinal
action without making themselves
fully masters of the situation. From this
view none will dissent except those who
are so unalterable opposed to the law
that they desire to make It appear so
oppressive and burdensome that it can-
not be continued In operation. The
Chairman farther says—that If upon In-
vestigation no good excuse for this dis-
crimination ot the commission exists
the privilege of making special through
rates to meet the alleged water compe-
tition will be withdrawn and these roads
made to coniform strictly to the letter
of the law; also that no discrimination
against western merchants will be al-
lowed on the part of these Southern
roads Io whom these special through
rates are given. There is in this answer
of Judge Cooley a manly open and di-
rect meeting of the objections urged
against this complained of action of the
commission. While it cannot be expect-
ed to meet the objections of the natural
enemies of the interstate law it will al-
lay the uneasiness of its friends and In-
crease public confidence in the wisdom
and temperate spirit of the commission.
NOT AGREED ON ETHICS.
The Colorado Citizen and the Seguin
Record are exchanging views on a ques-
tion of journalistic ethics. The Citizen
thinks that a paper should expressits
honest convictions. The Record is ot
opinion that the editor ought not to ex-
press his private views In his papers.
Both of these positions are partial and
incomplete. It does not necessarily fol-
low that because a paper should express
its honest convictions that It should give
expression to all its convictions. To ex-
press an honest opinion upon whatever
subject is considered in the edi-
torial columns is all that can be
demanded of honest journalism. There
may be many subjects upon which an
opinion is not desired or upon which it
were best not to express any. As to
private opinions—all opinions are pri-
vate until they are expressed then they
become public. If an editor is not to
express a private opinion In his Journal
then he is to express none. An opinion
is an intellectual conviction of the truth
ot some statement rendered probable by
evidence and such conviction must be
private and personal for intelligence Is
a private and personal thing. The news-
paper editor who has no Intelligence no
mental convictions may be excused
from expressing an opinion because
in the nature of thing* he cannot
have any to express of tils own.
The journalist who has opinions on mat-
ters concerning the public interests is a
coward if he refrains from expressing
them as occasion demands. He is equal-
ly cowardly if he persists in expres-
sing them it truly convinced that their
expression is untimely and will not re-
sult in public benefit. Of this timeliness
or untimeliness he and his confidential
advisers must judge. The journalist
who expects to please by either expres-
sing or witholding opinions has much to
learn of the uncertainty of his fellows.
The man who depends upon hie own
judgment and is true to themis the true
teacher and director of opinions.

Thk weather clerk seems in a much

Thk battles of the 2Otb legislature

Thk Willis Index Is about the only

San Antonio is taking real pleasure
in the presence of the members of the
Texas state Saengerfest and their musi-
cal associates from abroad. There is a
moisture in the air and a cloudiness in

Gov. Ross vetoes the bill postponing
the forcible collection of taxes until
next September and gives hte reason
therefor. These are on account of the
unconstitutionally of the measure and
for other reasons as were deemed by
him conclusive principally because the
delay in paying taxes would prove dis
astron to the public Interests in leaving
the public treasury without the means
to meet the expenses of the government.
Thk Irish are leaving Ireland for
America In shoals. The tyranny of the
British government no longer endura-
ble is depopulating that country. On
Tuesday 1500 embarked at Queenstown
and arrangements are mad. for the de-
parture of 3000 more on Saturday. It is
probably just as easy for America to
support Ireland on this side the water
as on that; but the Infernal heartlessness
of the British government is appalling
Gov. Hill has been true to bis demo-
cratic instincts and has v< toed the high
license bill passed by the New York leg-
islature on the ground that it was a re-
publican measure for the government ot
democratic cities. The measure was
originally applicable to all cities ot the
state but the democracy insisted on
amending it as it passed. Now the gov-
ernor vetoes it on the ground that it was
a republican dodge.
Thk hope is expressed in some quarters
that the Texas congressional delegation
evenly divided as it is on the prohibi-
tion question will not carry the fight
into the halls of congress. The Texas
delegation may not and probably will
not carry It there but some one will.
This prohibition foolishness will never
cease until it invades the balls of na-
tional legislation and the United States
congress settles it one way or another.

case of Billy Ki-sane. The men who

in are among the most graphic examples
of journalistic pen painting.
Tennison received $lO a line for his

made himself prieviously known by
something really meritorious to make
hte name pass current.

Hayes Grover is economical.
The Metropolitan Art association ot
New Y'ork have the linest collection of

ONE LIVED THE OTHER DIED.
A woman formerly our slave is now our
cook. About 1H months ago she became sickly
and had a cough and was confined to bed and
it was thought that she had consumption. The
treatment by physicians failed to give relief.
In December ISM a node or knot the size of a
goose egg formed just above the pit of the
stomach which when lanced discharged mat-
ter for h or 9 months. One of these also
formed under her arm. and three on the back
which discharged matter for a considerable
t me. For six months of this time she was
confim d to the house and most of tin* time in
bed. The stomach often refuted food bj re-
jecting what she had eaten she used a great
deal of medicine but failed to be cured. I
bought one bottle of your B. B. B. (made in
Atlanta Ga.> and gave It to her and she com-
menced to improve. I then bought and gave
her three bottles more and she continued to
improve and in two months’ time her cough
had eeased her constitution strengthened
appetite and digestion good all discharges
erased nodes or knots disappeared and she
went to work apparently healthy and fattened
up greatly.
This woman had a married sister of near the
same age who was affected in precisely the
same way and about the same time. She had
node or knot on pit of stomach back etc. She
did not take any B. B. B and the node in
her stomach ate through the cavity. She con-
tinued on the decline and wasted away and
finally died.
These were two terrible cases of biood poi-
son—one used B. B. B. and was speedily cured
the other did not use it and died It is most
a--uD <ily a most wonderful blood purifier. 1

ITS THEORY
In that all Food Baked or Roasted should bo oookM
in frosh air freely admitted to the oven. This is don®
by discard inc the clone oven door heretofore ua®d and
euhbtitutinff for it a door containing a sheet of Wire
Gauze nearly as large as the door itself.
Through this Gauze Door the air freely
circulates facilitating the process of cooking and
producing food that is unequalled in flavor end nu-
trition and actually cooked with less consumption of
fuel than in au oven with a closed door.
It makes an enormous earing in the weight of meat.
It also produces larger Loaves of Bread
require* less attention from the cook and promote*
the health of the family by the fIUPUUOA QUALITX
OF TUJC FOOD COOKED IN IT.
OPINION OF AN EXPERT.
Mita. Mary B. Welch. Teacher Domestic Economy
low a State University says: “My delil»erate judgment
is that the oven of the Range as compared with others
is not only more equally heated in every part—front as
well as rear—but as a result of its superior ventilation
the food placed therein is better cooked while retain-
ing a sweeter flavor and a larger proportion of its beat
juices. J find also that the consumption of fuel in thia
iUugu is much les* than any other lor same work.”
