but are merely taking up the Sun's
statements and treating the abstract
question, the hypothetical , query of
whether Jury is apt to send to death
th,e slayer of a man that he knows has
wrecked his home. We are frank to
say that we are on the negative; that
is, we don't believe the average jury
would do it. So far as we know the
average Jury never has done it.
This does not say that we would vote
to acquit if on a jury in such a case.
It only says what we think the ordi
nary jury would do. The mistake the
Sun makes is in assuming that all
juries possess the judicial tempera
ment. If it had been intended that
they should, it would have been pro
vided that they should be Judges, and
not every-day citizens, untrained in
the art of repressing the savage, human
idea of retributive vengeance.
Our Xew Freight Lino.
Commenting on the statement, first
published in The Evening Times, that
the Atlantic Coast Line would bid for
its share of the freight movement in
and out of Raleigh by traffic or other
arrangements with the ' Raleigh &
Southport Railroad, the Wilmington
Messenger says that it will very great
ly increase the importance of the
North Carolina seaport, giving it a
volunie of business secured heretofore
by Norfolk. The Messenger days:
A special dispatch from Raleigh in
yesterday's Messenger announced that
"the Atlantic Coast Line would enter
Raleigh to compete for passenger and
freight business" over the Raleigh and
Southport Railroad. There is much
more in this than appears from that
Bimple announcement. It seems that
arrangements will be made to give
Raleigh and that section of the state
an entirely new route to the northern
markets and a cheap one, too over
the Raleigh and Southport and the At
lantio Coast Line roads to the port of
Wilmington where water transports'
tlon can be had. This will greatly in
crease the importance of our city as a
port of entry and distributing point
for the Interior sections of the state,
Norfolk is now the gateway to Hal
eleh's section of the state from the
northern ports. The opening of this
new line will put Wilmington in posi
tion to compete with the Virginia city
as the port of entry for a large and
important section of our state. With
this new territory opened up to he
Wilmington's shipping will be greatly
increased, an J along with this our
wholesale merchants and importers
should be able to extend their business
and take in territory from which they
have been completely shut out here
tofore because of lack of railway fa'
cililies for reaching it.
As we said the other day the matter
is of more than passing interest. AH
of, us are vitally concerned in the fu
ture welfare of Wilmington, but at foe
present the thing comes nearer home.
The merchants realize that the new
avenue of traffic v. Ill materially reduce
freight rates and they will encourage
and support the new line without seek
ing or attempting to boycott the others
which have served us heretofore. The
business is growing every year. There
is enough for all and the building of
new roads will help a community more
than the passage of all the rate bills
ever framed.
Remembering that Stokes, who killed
Fiske In New York some thirty years
ago, was never hanged, leads us to say
that perhaps there may be some hope
for Thaw.
If he sticks to his original promise
Mr. Roosevelt may reverse the old
saying that "It ain't no disgrace to
run when you are scared."
Unless he cuts out that talking the
public will believe that Senator Till
man suffered more greatly than Mrs.
Minor Morris.
What congress should do is to pro
vide some system by which we may
inspect the meat placed before us on
the table.

"Would you mind taking ' the band
off that cigar carefully and give it to
me?" asked Westslde of Rivers, as
they both "lit up."
"Sorry," said Rivers, "but I'm sav
ing them too. I was just about to ask
you for yours."
"So your little girl has the collecting
habit?" said Westslde. "I thought my
young lady was the only one in our
set who had been seized with the epi
demic." ' "I should say not. My little girl
began collecting cigar bands three
months ago, and since then my days
have been . filled with responsibility. I.
buy cigars according to the bands now,
having given up my old favorites be
cause she had plenty of the -bands of
that kind.'-' As soon as I get a dozen
oi so bands of one kind she begins to
wish for a different sort, having
swapped all her. duplicates with, her
friends. Then I look for an unknown
brand, and the strange band tickles her
immensely." ,
"Same with me," said Westside. "If
I don't arrive home with half a dozen
bands every night she thinks I'm neg7
lecting her, and If I don't smoke that
number of cigars a day I have to beg
bands."
And he produced a handful of cigar
bands, gaudy gold and red things. As
soon as Rivers' eyes saw them 'he was
all eagerness. .
"Let's see those," he said. "Ry jove
there's several there that my little girl
hasn't got. Have you got any more
like those?"
"A couple," said Westside. "I'll
swap you one for anything you've got
that my little girl hasn't got."
Whereupon there was an exchange.
"My little girl has nei,rly seven thou- I
sand bands," said Westside. "How j
many has yours?"'
"I haven't counted them," said Riv
ers, "but she has four or five albums
filled and a lot she hasn't put In the
books. Say, your little girl ought to
know my little girl. They might swap
some of their duplicates."
"That's so. I'll bring her around
Sunday. Say, 'will you have a fresh
cigar?"

JAPANESE TOBACCO,
Manufactured and Sold Exclusively
by Far-Seeing Government. ;
Attention is called in the July Ev
erybody's, by Charles Edward Russell,
In an interesting instalment of "Sol
diers of the Common Good," to the
recently established Japanese tobacco
monopoly. He says:
"These matters and the Japanese
purposes become clearer if we take
concrete illustrations. Manufactured
tobacco and cigarettes, for instance.
Once we enjoyed an abundant trade
with Japan In these things, for we had
taught her to want them, and then Joy
ously we supplied her wants at high
prices. Thus ln the end Japan served
copiously to swell the hand-earned
treasures of the American tobacco
trust, for the Japanese were Industri
ous consumers and the trust could
charge wh'at it pleased, having the
trade by .the throat. But when the
trust had- established branch houses
and offices and works and Invested in
them $i-,000, 000, the Japanese govern
ment concluded that It might as well
have the goodly profits as let the trust
have them, so it went into the tobacco
business on its own accouut. It bought
factories and stores and passed a law
establishing itself in a practical mo
nopoly of the tobacco trade, for no
makers of cigarettes, cigars or tobacco
were allowed to sell their products
until they had been offered to, and de
clined by, an agent of the government
a necessary provision, because in Ja
pan cigarette making Is largely a dom
iciliary trade. Still there might have
been left to the American trust a
chance to compete in quality of pro
duct or in some special lines if it had
not been for one thing. , The govern
ment put an import duty of 250 per
cent on cigarettes and tobacco. There
upon the American cigarettes vanished
faster than their own smoke, and the
defeated American tobacco trust was
glad to sell to the government (for
what It could get) its business and
blanch houses.
"Now in Japanese shops you will see
on shelves formerly loaded with Amer
ican product nothing but the cigar
ettes and tobacco of the Japanese gov
ernment." NUPTIALS NEAR TO NATURE.
Whitman Disciple Weds Under Oak
Tree's Roughs.
With a copy of "Leaves of Grass"
under his arm, with the lake laying
the sand at his feet, with the wind
stirring-, the grass, Rev. Walter H.
MacPherson, aesthete. Idealist, and
disciple of Walt Whitman, was mar
ried near Wllmette yesterday to Miss
Cecilia Clifford of Lake View.
Besides being a votary of the "Good
Gray Poet," Mr. MacPherson is pastor
of -.the People's Methodist Episcopal
Church, of South Chicago, to which
he will return after an outing of three
months on the lake shore, where he
says he has been "driven back to
Eden." ; ' ''..,- ."
Pastor MacPherson and Miss Clif
ford attempted to elope .to their re
treat at Kennedy's Cove, - where the
(ceremony waa performed. Dut their
plans were discovered and a number
of friends accompanied them. Mr. and
Mrs. C. J. Clifford, 6419 Parncll ave
nue, parents of the bride, disapproved
of the unconventional marriage and
were not present.
The -site chosen for the camp is on
bluff overlooking the lake shore be
tween the villages of " Wllmette' and
Kenilworth. : A thick screen !of shrub
bery and underbrush isolates the re
treat from Sheridan road, and Whit
man himself i could not conceive no
better place for a "return to nature."

tor of the People's Church, stood under
an oak tree and the wedding proces
sion wound toward him through the
avenue among the trees, keeping step
