That is so in a measure, but the way all social and poiir snt j-- birr-.- have started throughout vet aghS is by comparison, the showing up of a bad condition and the appeal for a remedy.

A similar vi.-it ta New York where Covernor Smith is credited with removing! the slate prohibition law. disclosed j nr. evidence of drinking. A remarkable system of laws, the dry leader said, kept the luiuor violators under control. However, Governor Smith, who has been associated with the Nev. York legislature most of the time since old enough ami who has largely controlled it since he became governor, received no credit' for having anything to do with constructive legislation. ; <_ ; : WAGNER CASE TO BE TRIED AT,SPECIAL TERM ! * W.

Th ecouvt was I moved by this passionate appeal made ;s by Mr. Bingham, and years of hard j toil saved to this erring youth. i [t Mr. Bingham, painted a graphic a picture of this robbery and the part 1 jj. this youth played in its consumman tion: being a bov without and with a previous good character, ' r.r.d with words of burning eloquence, , "a begged the court to assist him in ^ placing the feet of this lad back into the pathway that leads to that great- . er, better- and nobler.life, which he described as "A wilderness beset w with tangled the-ra and treacherous :o net, with prowling beasts of prey.
