An error commonly made by house owners is
in underestimating the necessity of proper sanitary
equipment for the kitchen.x
Only a few years ago it was considered good
form to encase the sink , thereby concealing the trap
and pipe fixtures ; also providing a place for storing
kitchen utensils. This offers an opportune place
for collection of germs and vermin. You will be
horrified to examine and learn the true state of af
fairs in a sink of this kind.
Do not lose sight of the fact that your food is
prepared in the kitchen and the utensils in which it
is prepared depend upon the sanitary arrangement
> for cleanliness. ) \
If there is need foi improvment in your home , or
*
if you are going to build , come in and let us vshow
you our Green and Gold Label One-piece Sink.

THAW JURY DISAGREES
The Jury is Hung Instead
of the Defendant.
The Thaw case hung the jury
instead of the defendant. Seven
were for conviction and five for
acquittal on the insanity theory.
The case has cost § 300,000 , of
which amount $200,000 is said to
be the cost to the Thaws.
There are numerous other mur
der cases on the New York docket
to be tried at this term of court ,
and if each case should cost the
state of New York as much as the
Thaw trial there would be no use
in trying to convict murderejs.
The state would be bankrupt if it
didn't turn the murderers loose.
Harry Thaw shot Stanford
White. He didn't shoot because
he was in immediate peril. He
cquldn't plead self-defense , nor
did the evidence show that Stan
ford White had made any threats
against Thaw. No matter if White
was a villian , a seducer , and had
kept a room for that purpose in
which it is. claimed he accomplish
ed the ruin of Evelyn Nesbit which
seems to have been the cause of
the shooting. There are other
phases of law that would deal with
his case without shooting White
down in lawlessness. . Evelyn
Nesbit was not at that time ac
quainted with Thaw and this sub
sequent shooting was an act of re
venge based upon an insane desire
to blot out an objectionable part
of his wife's early character.
There is no doubt that there was
an insane ego or "brain storm"
that caused Thaw , to forget the
rights of others to live , even
though they might have been
unfriendly or antagonistic to him.
Tie. same indifference is mani
fest in every premeditated murder
to the extent of a ' 'brain storm'1
or an exagerated ego of a superior
right to life. It is murder 'which
has been defined by our courts as
the first degree. Some people do
not believe in capital punishment
but it is one of the oldest laws
handed down for ages. A life for
a life was the ancient custom and
was found to be more effective
than a tedious long-dra-wn out
trial which finally results in a short
sentence to the pen or absolute ac
quittal , according to the evidence.
Thaw was guilty of murder in
the first degree. If he was insane
he is the more dangerous but
should not escape the penalty for
his crime. The same de feuse could
be supported in every premedi
tated murder and in fact all man
kind might be considered insane it
any time.they do not act wisc'y ' or
judiciously. If insanity can be in
jected into our courts as a plea in
defense for murder , then all mur
derers should b thro .vn. into the
mad-house which would be only a
farce and the patient declared sane
since his object of wrath was out
of the way and in a few months he
is turned loose upon a defenseless
people who must either arm them
selves against sudden attack or
keep a bodyguard for safety.
This turns us back to the dark
ages. If we would be law-abiding
it is our duty to enforce laws with
as much vigor against criminals
as we make effort to obey laws
and restrain ourselves.

justice.
The following was prepared for
last week's paper :
Whoever reported to our editor
that such a deraonstrati on took
place at the burning of the gamb
ling devices as was stated in last
week's paper , raust haw * been en
thused beyond control of himself.
Had all the devices been put in
the flames that we feel belonged
there , possibly such a scene would
have been fitting. The other edi
tor seeks another controversy.
Very well , we will enter into it.
A spirit of persecution ! Well ,
well ! Who are the persecuted ?
Those who , for the sake of gain-
inevidenc to prosecute the violators
lators of the li'iv , risked their lives
because men ( who might better
have been at home , but who many
a time might have done this same
work , being eye witness as to the
gambling being done ) had not grit
or backbone enough'or a sense of
honor to expose this evil that has
been taking the where-with-all to
clothe and nourish many a poor
wife and child at home , while the
husband was passing his days or
nights in these places of vice. If
men would all be brave enough to
take a stand for the right and have
persistence to push -work of this
kind through , women could well
afford to stay at home and let them
go ahead , but how many men are
there who will take our places ?
Some poor women have stayed
at home a little too close for their
own good. It might be well for
them to get out occasionally and
see how spme of their men are
spending their time. Both sides
might haply be taken by surprise.
The other editor's "majority"
must be among those who would
oppose any radical reform meas
ure and who cater to the saloons
in one way or another , for we
know the sentiment among the
better thinking class of people is
not to censure women for being
courageous enough to undertake
to put a stop to gambling , and the
other editor does not need to
think we will put on the "white
feather" and stay at home because
that is where he would have us
stay , when we feel dusty calls u
out to watch , as well as pray.
A Sunda3T school superintendent
who , through the columns of his
paper , invites his patrons to drink
and patronize the saloons , and who
on election day associates with
and co-works with and for the sa
loon men , should realize where he
stands and how his influence
counts. We fear , ia the sight of
God , he is counted on the side
with the saloons.
