MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1911. THE LAW’S DELAY. The iiKiii who carelessly criticises '.h« law for it^ ineffectiveness to prop- sriy punish criminals, his sole Idea rioin? to seneiato a spirit of public dis- ;ni8t. is an enemy of law and order. riu* man. on the other hand, who WH( eroly points out weak places with ho view to spirring public sentiment o the pitch where correction may be can and does render a valua- '!♦' and much needed service. If iA ustle^s to deny iliat in too Hiany cases through technicalities and nt^dless dela> s. justice is \cheated. It Is folly to say that the situation can not i’e lemeiiied with earnest effort. \!id that renifdy, much needetl, when applied will be the result of popular dciermination to remove from the path of justice all hindrances and obstacles which are today placed by scheming and shrew attorneys, and permitted l\' lax laws. This editorial, from the New York Worid, should be pondered carefully for its truth applies not only to the :'iry which made a farce of the Thaw iiial. i'ut to others where travesties ai'on justic'e have occurred; ■‘it i not too much to say that the I'iniinisiraiiuu of criminal law in this ountry is a disgrace to our civiliza tion, and that the prevalence of crime Mii'l fra’ui, which lierc is greatly in ex- cf>s of that in Kiirojiean countries, is di;n ln'i:c'ly to 'ho fa’lure of the law anfi i»K udi.iitiifctrators to l)ring crimin als to justice. ■ Thfsp are the words not of an agita tor. nor of a muck-raker, not of a sensa- - )na!isr.

The iiurfirrrr was iromptly detected. :iromiitl> tri(-| and promptly convicted and sfMit*nr*d to death. He was a .vit :rli who had madp r. iirartlce of Inr- n^; >nnn;j wom«'n. In this instance he iinr oiie who sacrifirod life for honor. ■ f)n th* 27th of April judijment was a; s('d iii'on iiim.

If the ipople of ,\rw ^ ()i k do not apjirove Of the death penalty It should be abol- iRhod. It’ they do approve of It. as Its etention in tho ’aws would indicate, lothinar but judicial sloth and neglect ran explain the failure of the anthorl- ties to have applied it in this instance long nK'o. "The crime under consideration was )ne that sho*kf*d millions.

In a trtm sense she was he representative of a great and a A'orthy element forced l)v circunistanc- »s to become bread-winners. A state which is too busy or too indifferent t(> avenge quickly and severely a murder such as this, needs a revival of virtue, patriotism and religion no less than one of law and justice. "New York’s Court of Appeals Is a prpat court. TMiat Justice Harlan rp- cently said of its members past and present was true, every word of it. but It mtist not forget the weak, it niust not forget the poor, it must not forget the innocent.” THE ROOT AMENDMENT. A St. Louis paper gives a trenchant analysis of the now famous Root amendment to the Canadian reciproc ity bill: “The effect of this amendment, if adopted and accepted by Canada, would be to eliminate wood pulp and pulp wood from the operation of the agreement. If it is an honest amend ment, It is made for the sole benefit of the paper trust! If it is not an hon est amendment, is is a sneaking meth od of killing the measure. .In either ©vent, it exposed the motives of the opposition." The situation as we see it exactly. Submitted “without recommendation” is the action of the committee, after tacking on the Root amendment. The people have become aroused the coun try' over, and the senatorial commit tee dared not act as no doubt im pulse w’ould have directed. In thepalm- ier days, when monopolies exerted unchecked Influence, a terse caution to kill, the measure would no doubt have been offered, but the worm has turned, and w'hen the old liners in the senate dare not express -theix con victions they merely do not speak at all. If acting in good faith, senators vs'ho support the bill with the Root amend ment added, will merely be serving a big trust. The general sentiment of the na tion appears to be strongly in favor of an unhobbled reciprocity treaty, be lieving this to be the first great step in the movement for the lowering of tariff walls and the corresponding lowering of exorbitant prices charged today for necessities of life. Will the old stand patters in the senate dare defy popular orpinion, or may the nation expect a victory through democratic members and the •'insurgent ’ element of the republican party? FROM OTHER SANCTUMS Waiting for Wilk Punches. The newspapers of North Carolina are discussing the question, “Do Snake Bite Cow’s?” We regret to say the dis putants differ widely. We will not be lieve that snakes bite cows until the cows begin to give milk punches.— Houston Post. T BE VERY BUSY The Society Girl’s Romance—At the Amuse-U Today. Here is the Texas way. as outlined by fhe fJalveston News: “Do not kick a man when he is down. Turn him over and feel in the other pocket.’’ “I stick to my friends’* is the motto of Governor Coal Blaae, of South Car olina. and, Judging from the number of pardons granted during his heroic reign, many of those friends were in the penitentiary. South Carolina has the honor of en tertaining W. J. Br%an today. The celebration in England Is a crowning success. Fate of the Friend’s Advice. The heiress liad married a struggling young artist, and mama and papa were not any too well pleased. In conse quence the paretal supply had been cut off. The heiress was perfectly loy al. however, to the man of her choice, had full faith In his future and tried hard to hnlp him. bt she tound his present circumstances rather difficult, as she 'vas not accustomed to econo my. Also she found that w'hile he was temperamentally liberal with himself in some directions, his anxiety to make good w'ith a bank account often became most intense when she needed some article of wearing apparel. In other words, says the New York Press, he was willing to spend money for al most anything else except her clothes. “Of course I love Arthur,’’ said the beiVess loyally, “and he really isn’t close—just anxious to make good with mana nd papa, but he has no idea how hard it is for me to buy cheap goods. .lust think of my having to wear stockings that cost only 50 cents a pair:’ "Never mind." said her friend con solingly. ‘Tt is just as easy to keep lisle stockings clean as it Is silk." "That’s exactly the trouble." moaned the heiress rueKilly. “I wish it were not. If I could make the plea to Ar thur that lisle hose could not be kept clean it might have some weight with him. Besides. I shotild have more nerve, in the case, to insist on having silk ones. Thenexttimeltmlley- silk ones. The next time I tell my troubles to anybody I shall pick out F'jme one who will tell me that only the most expensive silk stockings can be kept perfectly clean.’ "Oh," said the adviser in dismay, “is that what you want? I thought: yon w'anted the truth.’ ‘Oh, did you? Does anybody who seeks advice ever want the truth? What I want is s’lk stockings—and somebody to back me up in getting them.’’ Atlanta, Ga.. June 19.—The 1911 gen eral asembly of Georgia will open on June 28th, Wednesday of next week. It will be a very busy session, and if all the work already cut out is serious ly attended to there will be little chance for tne introduction of freak bills or wi'angling over trifles. Of paramount importance will be the election of a United States sena tor. As a matter of routine ceremony the inauguration of the new governor will be of importance. Many important bills and amend ments are pending. An effort will be made, for which sue cess is predicted, to create a state road commision, following recommen dations expected from Governor Brown in his message. A bill will be introduced to move the state capitol from Atlanta to Macon. A bill will be Introduced for the im provement and better management of the state asylum, and another to widen the functions of and increase the ap: prcpriation for the Siate Collega of Agriculture; The automobile law will be dr'end ed so as to more nearly conform with the up-to-date laws of other states. It is practically conceded that the situation on the prohibition question may be expressed in the old phrase, "One's afraid and the other dassan’t.’’ One side wants to abolish near beer, the other side wants local option. The law, it is believed, will be let to stand exactly where it is. An eiTovt >vill be made to curtail tho power of the pardon board, making its fMnction chiefly that of getting up evi dence and leaving to the governor en tirely the question of granting or^re- fusing the pardon. A state appropriation w^ill be urge-1 for the reclamation of swamp lands. The sum of $5,000 will probably be ap propriated to be used with an equal sum from the federal government, for a survey of the water power of the state. The biennial sessions bill will come up again, and an effort will likely bv"? made to change the time of the inaug uration of governors from January 1st to July 1st, following the recommenda tions which have long been urged by (rovernor-Elect Hoke Smith. MRS. COLES RE-ELECTED. Choice of Career. An English father consulted a friend as to what career he ought to select for his mm, a boy of 10. The friend thotight the matter over for a bit and then advised the fath er as follows: "Lock your boy In a room where there is a Bible on the table, an ap- ple and some pieces of money. After a quarter of an hour open the door noiselessly and see what the boy is doing. If he is reading the Bible make him a clergyman; if his atten tion is concentrated on the apple, make him a farmer, and if he is amusing himself by co^mting the mon ey it’s plain that he is meant to be a financier.” The experiment was tried, ‘ and when tho friend inquired what the re sult was the father replied; “I found him sitting on the Bible, he had pocketed the money and w'as eating the apple.’’ “Make him a member of parlia ment. then, was the advice of the friend.—4.,ondon Globe.

The individuality of the STIEFF PIANO is its chief charm. There is NO other piano just like the STIEFF. Others try to imitate, but some how they fail to reach that “ev erything’*—that “individuality” characteristic of the Stieff Pi ano. THE STIEFF PIANO enjoys still another “Individual ity” foreign to any other great make. It is sold direct to the user. This “Individuality” se cures an ideal piano, one that will meet every demand or the greatest pianist or most exact ing musician at a moderate cost. Write for catalogues, prices, etc. Chas. M.
