THE RELIGION OF A JURIST.
(Selected for Sunday.)
We often speak of the laws of mind
and some may fancy that these laws
are capable of the same exact meas-
urements as the laws of matter; but
there is this essential difference a
difference which will ever prevent a
full discernment of the one while
knowledge of the other may be abso-
lute. Particles of matter are un-
changeable in their characteristics
from age to age and from century to
century. The atom of silicon or car-
bon or hydrogen is today in all its na-
ture and characteristics the same as
it was four thousand years ago. It is
subjected to the same laws respon-
sive to the same influences. It is an
unchanged fact and as we study the
laws of the material world we are
studying forces which are applicable
■ to unchangeable atoms. But there is
no such fixedness in the human soul.
There Is no atom there which Is the
same today that it was a thousand
years ago or Is the same in one indi-
vidual that it is in another. The very
thing upon which the laws of mind op-
erate Is constantly changing and shift-
ing. So it is that no matter how
great may be our increase in knowl-
edge we can never knew of a given
person the extent of the influences
which heredity and environment have
had in forming and shaping his pres-
ent character. That character in and
of itself is and always will be an un-
known quantity. But justice absolute
Justice requires that judgment be
measured not alone by the concrete
sets but should take into account the
differences caused by heredity and en-
vironment for which the individuals
are not responsible. In short it is
certain that absolute justice cannot be
administered by finite man. We can
never determine how much the char-
acter is affected by forces and in-
fluences over which the alleged crim-
inal himself has had no control and
therefore we can never establish an
accurate relation between his acts and
the consequences thereof.
More and more does the judge ap-
preciate the presence of those forces
and influences which in the truest
sense determine the quantity of guilt
and. yet because they are beyond the
reach of human knowledge are ignor-
ed. and must be ignored in the daily
administration of the law. More and
more does he realize that while the
scientific student may have the possi-
bility of certainty as the* result of his
study he as a judge must ever act
with a consciousness that there is a
domain Into which he can never enter
and yet a domain filled with consid-
erations which Affect in the highest
sense the matter of perfect justice.
What then? Believing in an infi-
nite being unseen yet standing su-
preme over human life and history
"With whom ’tis one
To guide a sunbeam or create a sun”
the question comes to him is it pos-
sible that in the lower range of mate-
rial things there is certainty and that
certainty is within the limits of human
knowledge while in the higher realms
of the spirit the race must go on to
the end of time unable to ascertain
•nd therefore unable to act upon a
like certainty? Can it be that that
Infinite C * makes manifest absolute
truth in all the domain of the material
world but leaves the realm of the
spiritual forever a chaos of uncertain-
ty. resulting in perpetual injustice to
his highest and noblest work?
One and only one alternative is pre-
sented. In some other time and place
the failures of justice on earth will
be rectified. Infinite wisdom will
there search the past of every life
measure with exactness the influences
of heredity and environment and out
of the fullness of that knowledge cor-
rect the errors which we are powerless
to prevent The inevitable failure of
justice in this life Is an assurance of
a life to come. Outside of the decla-
rations of revelation and putting the
thought I have presented one side.
Immortality Ts but a possibility. "Over
the river they beckon to me.” is only
the voice of hope. To that hope and
that possibility comes the strong tes-
timony from the inevitable failure ol
human justice as contrasted with the
full knowledge of the laws governing
the material world for it is abhorrent
to our conceptions of an Infinite being
that he should endow us with the lat-
ter while investing the highest product
of creative intelligence the human
soul with a mysterious environment
which no man can ever fathom and
which to the end of its existence will
prevent that soul from receiving the
exact award which is essential to abso-
lute justice.
The Roman patriot Cato facing sui-
cide exclaimed:
"If there’s a Power above us—
And that there is all Nature cries
aloud
Through all her works—He must de-
light in virtue.
And that which He delights in must
be happy.
But when? or where? This world was
made for Caesar."
Forty years of judicial life as varied
as that which falls to the lot of any
have given to me an answer to Cato's
question. I have looked into the
faces of persons on trial before me
for alleged crimes or litigant in civil
cases have searched every item of
testimony which the laws of evidence
allow to be introduced in the hope
of gathering therefrom some knowl-
edge of the Influences which the past
of heredity and environment have
cast and finding but little to guide
or instruct have yielded to the neces-
sity of determining rights on the basis
of only the concrete and visible facts.
I have been over and over again op-
pressed with the limitations of finite
nature and longed to know some-
thing of those unseen and unknown In-
fluences which have brought the indi-
vidual to his place before me. Con-
scious of these ever present limita-
tions. I have asked whether this is the
best that Goff has done for man? And
the answer which has come out of my
leng experience on the bench is that
somewhere Bnd some time all the fail-
ures of human justice will be made
good. Through the light of the Judi-
ch-1 glass I have seen the splendid
vition of Immortality. Rising above
the confuse I conflicting voices of the
c-.urt room I have heard the majestic
rnd prophetic words of the great
/jostle: ‘For this ccirupttble must
put on Incorruption end this mortal
must put on immortality."
But the fact of immortality is one
thing its lesson another. Is it freight-
ed with joy or burdene d with de-
spair? Does it mean merely the mak-
ing certain the result of our wrong-
doing? Is it nothing but an appeal
to a higher court in which a more
just sentence will be pronounced a
change as it were from Jeffreys to 1
Sir Matthew Hale? V
pound of flesh be taken? On the oven '
scales of the blind goddess will there '
be only the remorseless weighing out I
of just punishment?
“Is there no place
Left for repentance none for pardon
left?”
Must we look forward to immortal-
ity with the sure and only expectation
that the wrongs we have here conceal-
ed will be made known and the doom
we have evaded be cast upon ns? I
known that in human courts mercy is a
futile plea. Vainly the sweet-voiced
counsel may urge:
"Mercy is above this sceptered sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings.
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show
likest Fod’s
When mercy seasons justice.”
For the cold reply will be:
“ "Twill be recorded for a precedent;
And many an error by the same ex-
ample.
Will rush into the state: It cannot be."
Only in an appeal to the executive
is there place for mercy. Pardon is
not a judicial function.
But in the great tribunal of eternity
the same Being is both judge and
chief executive. And as we cannot
sound the depths of infinite wisdom
so we may not measure the reach of
infinite love. We catch even here
foreshadowings of its marvelous
power and sweetness. Some faint
rays from the sacred lights burning
evermore along the great highways of
the life beyond fall upon our pathway
and guide our trembling footsteps to
the shores of the silent river.
Beatrice Harraden the author of
"Ships that Pass in the Night” tells
in one of her shorter stories of a
painter who commenced life painting
religious pictures. As he grew up and
mingled with the world his faith in '
spiritual things faded away. He ceas- i
ed to believe. He had commenced to I
SAN ANTONIO SUNoAY LIGHT SAN ANTONIO TEXAS SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 190*
place upon canvas his conception of
an Infinite God with omnipotent arms
underneath and supporting the bleed-
ing head of a suffering and fainting
Christ. He put the half-finished pic-
ture away in the corner as something
unworthy of his efforts. He mingled
In life and painted its pleasures and
splendors. The years went by until
old age came. He had seen life with
its pleasures and Its sorrows its suc-
cesses and Its failures. The greet In-
justice of all grew more and more Im-
pressive and he began to realise that
there must be some other life to com-
plement this and even up Its Inequali-
ties. His old faith came back. He
brought out the incompleted picture
and his last best and sweetest work
was In finishing this Ideal of his
youth. I pon the broad background
of human experience we see the dim
vision of omnipotent arms beneath the
wearied suffering bleeding children
of earth. And if this even In faint
outline be manifest here shall we not
look for a like picture with stronger
and more glowing colors on the can-
vas which shall be unrolled In the
life to come?
While mercy which Is akin to love
may not be a judicial function Is jus-
tice always satisfied with only the
rigor of the law? Is condemnation the
sole alm and end? Was the gentle
lawyer Portia wholly wrong when she
said that "mercy seasons justice"?
Doubtless there is wisdom in the pro-
vision that the finite judge who is
called upon to declare the law shall
not be given power to dispense with
it; that that power shall not be exer-
cised until after condemnation and
then by one other than the judge.
Does the wisdom and therefore the
necessity of this separation Inhere in
the nature of things' Does It not
rather spring from the fact that the
power to grant the one may lead the
judge to Ignore thl other and so the
public be 'gradually deadened to a
sense of the danger as well as the
wickedness of crime? But with infi-
nite wisdom in tie judge pardon is
safely left with him. He will wisely
determine its conditions and never
toss it out as a free gift to every crim-
inal. He will never "cast pearls be-
fore swine." and never so act that it
blots out the sense of guilt. The same
lips that declared "Like as a father
pitleth his children so the Lord pit-
ietb them that fear him" also declar-
ed. "The soul that stnneth it shall
die." Justice and mercy are alike
handmaids of the Omnipotent. Not in-
accurately did the great Apostle him-
self a lawyer brought up at the feet
of Gamaliel declare that "love Is the
fulfilling of the law."

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Sub
ject.
We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living about
vegetarianism ana many other tads
along the same Une.
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat pastry or
cohee is served and the food crank
is in his glory and arguments and
tneoriee galore advanced to prove that
meat was never Intended for human
stomachs and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four-score years in robust health on
roast beef pork snd mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
sense are excellent guides to follow
In matters of diet and a mixed diet
of grains fruits and meats is undoubt-
edly the best
As compared with grains and vege-
tables meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment In a highly concentrated form
aad is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables or grains.
Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: "Nervous persons people run
down In health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of IL If
the digestion is too feeble at first it
may be easily corrected by the regu-
lar use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
alter each meal. Two of these excel-
lent tablets taken after dinner will
digest several thousand grains of
meat eggs or other animal food In
throe hours and no matter how weak
the stomach may be no trouble will
be experienced if a regular practice Is
made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab-
lets because they supply the pepsin
and diastase necessary to perfect di-
gestion and every form of Indigestion
will be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who
come under the head of nervous dys-
peptics should eat plenty of meat and
insure its proper digestion by the daily
use of a safe harmless digestive med-
icine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
composed of the natural digestive
principles pepsin diastase fruit acids
and sslts which actually perform the
work of digestion. Cheap cathartic
medicines masquerading under the
name of dyspepsia cures are useless
for Indigestion as they have absolute-
ly no effect upon the actual digestion
of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to di-
gest food and the sensible way to
solve the riddle and cure the dyspep-
sia is to make daily use at meal time
of a preparation like Stuart’s Dyspep-
sia Tablets which is endorsed by the
medical profession and known to con-
tain active digestive princples.
EO C. LASATER WAS NOT
REMOVED AS RECEIVER
In the account published in The
Light last Friday in regard to the
Sugarlaud estate being out of litiga-
tion an error was made inasmuch as
it was stated that Ed C. Least er was
removed as the receiver owing to a
difference arising between himself
and Ed. Cunningham. The fact of the
matter is that Mr. Lasater filed an
application with District Clerk Nevill
AuguH 11 1905 tendering his resig-
nation and applying lor discharge as
receiver In the case of H. M. King
vs. Ed. H. Cunningham & Co. et al.
In his application for discharge
Mr. Lasater shows to the court that
A. A. B. Woerhelde had purchased
the judgments against the defendants
as contained In the final decree in fa-
vor of Ed C. Lasater and Mrs. H. M.
King and at that time he was inform-
ed had arranged for the purchase of
the claim: of all other judgment
creditors. Judge Camp granted the
application and William Zelle was
appointed to succeed Mr. Lasater.
This correction ie cheerfully given
In order to place Mr. Lasater in the
right light.

Who is J. T. Hutcheson? In a card
published in the Express on Saturday
he patriotically exclaims: "Let the
will of a free people as expressed In
their charter be carried out." Mr.

Ex-Mayor Hicks' paper says Interest
In the campaign as it draws to a close
“Is increasing by leaps and bounds
especially among those who have
been outraged by the conduct of the
administration." This Is something
in the nature of a new charge and
really is of most serious character.
Who has been outraged hv the ad-
ministration? Who beyond Mr. Will
Tobin and Mr. Nat Lewlg will even
Intimate that they have been "out-
raged" by the administration? The
charge Is premature. It should have
been withheld until the present com-
mission's successors take bold of af-
fairs.

chance. But what can he accomplish
if beset upon every side with hostile
factions within bls administration and
baited and badgered upon every hand
by an organization of leeches and
lawyers on the outside? Eliminate
the former and he’ll give San An-
tonio an administration of which no
citizen or taxpayer will have cause to
complain. Cut out the fire and police
mutineers by voting for Terrell Hei-

A writer for the Cornish and Its

friends oi Mr. Nat Lewis and Mr.
Will Tobin are claiming that Messrs.
Steves Wilson and Heuermann will
receive 1500 votes at the election to
be held next Tuesday. It is possible
they may by book and crook receive
700 votes but those best informed

will be the limit of their poll.

HO SM
AND COTTON LETS
The cotton market this morning
opened slightly lower in response to
the disappointing cables the foreign
market being eight to ten points down
when it should have rren five or six
points while spots were off nine
points on sales of 8000 bales.
Following tbe call there was rather
heavy selling in which sir. Price took
a large part but on a loss of 11 to 12
points compared with yesterday there
was heavy buying in which the out-
side shared freely.
McFadden was a large buyer in
New York and other prominent inter-
ests also took cotton on a liberal
scale with the remit that the market
not only recovered the .oss nut gain-
ed considerably all of the decline of
yesterday.
New Orleans is down l-16c for mid-
dling on lighter transactions While
Memphis is % higher.
It should be recalled however
that Memphis was down 14 c yester-
day. Sentiment appears to be strong-
ly in favor of the market advancing
though there is no doubt that the po-
sition is decidedly weakened as a re-
sult of the continued buying on tbe
part of the outside public.
