GOSSIP RESPONSIBLE FOR
CHURCH SCANDALS.
It is doubtful if much harm is done
by a church scandal. Those on the in
side know that the men and women re
sponsible for it are not of much ac
count anyhow. They are usually car
rion like in nature and shurks in prac
tice. In the past thiity years I have
known three or four church scandals,
and, without an exception, it was not
so much an offense that had been com
mitted, but it was a disposition on the
part of a few to roll inferences and
suspicions and gossip and guesses all
together with personal prejudice or
dislike for a victim.
There need not be much scandal in
any church, however, if it will do the
one thing it ought to do to be worthy
of the respect and support of the peo
ple. It ought to do as much for its
members, at least, as for those who are
nut members.
What a spectacle for a church to
fairly tumble over itself trying to tell
some man who has been a drunkard,
thief, liar and all around villain all
his life: "Down on your knees, dear
brother, in five minutes we will make
you white as snow and send you out at a
hundred dollars a week as an evange
list to convert sinners." But to a man
or woman who for thirty or forty years
who has lived a blameless life, but who
may have sinned once, it has only this
to say: "We will pin the scarlet letter
on your breast. We will wear our
shoes out running from one house to
another to tell what we have heard
you have done. We will demand that
you surrender your license to preach.
And we want you to get rich out of
the membership of this church. We
wash our hands clean of you. We
want nothing to do with you or any
member of your family."
Now I have not a particle of doubt
that a church that will do that sort of
thing is as near an annex of hell as the
devil is delighted to have it. By Rev.
V f rr l: J
P. E. Hopkins.
JUDGE HOLT A HERO.
If the people want a hero, we re
commend Judge Holt, of New York.
The New York lawyers are disre
putable, and they have been assisted
by the judges. Suits have been brou
ght by the New York lawyers and
testimony introduced in court, that
were scandelous, and the judges knew
it The lawyers in these suits for big
fees, swore to testimony that should
have sent them to the penitentiary,
but the judges paid no attention to the
damaging testimony. Judges have
long had too much sympathy for law
yers. But Judge Holt is an exception.
He has instructed the grand jury to
investigate Attorney Hartride, who
sued Harry Thaw's mother for a bal
ance of $93,000. In the course of his
suit, Hartridge testified to suppressing
testimony in the Thaw case, to induc
ing witnesses to leave town, that they
might not testify, etc Judge Holt
has not only taken notice of the scand
alous legal fee demanded, but of the
methods of the lawyer demanding it,
and will, if possible, punish Hartridge.
Now if the people will stand by
Judge Holt, other judges will follow
his example. Here is really a chance
for the people to accomplish a great
reform. But you known what the
people will do: They will pay no at-
tion to Judge Holland chase off after
Ben Lindsey, of Denver, a foolish lit
tle man who has nothing to offer for
the public good, except a lecture not
worth listening to.
If you really want to do something
with your enthusiasm, cheer forjudge
Holt, of New York. Why cannot a
sensible, honorable man attract atten
tion? Why is it that only adventur
ers seem to be admired by the peo
ple? You may remember that Judge
Landis was suggested for the presiden
cy, because of a judical act that was
a disgrace to his profession. Judge
Holt has done the best thing of recent
years.
Will you ever near of HIM for the
FURTHER SHOCKING REVELA
TIONS. Another shocking revelation knt
been made in Philadelphia '' Cloaked
under the pretext of scientific investi
gation, n species of cruelty haa been
made public which staggers our belief
in accepted Christian humanity.
An overzealous physician has taken
from the almshouse and other char
itable institutions helpless babies for
clinical purposes. Into their helpless
little eyes he has injected tuberculin,
to ascertain whether similar testa in
the human being responded to the ones
already made with rabbits.
The purpose is two-fold. If success
ful the world may be greatly benefited.
If not successful, the babies experi
mented upon are left blind for life.
The cost is not considered.
The New York Herald made the
investigation and made public the
brutal facts. In justice to Dr. Hamill,
the city pathologist of Philadelphia,
his statement is published. He says:
"I am not worrying about what the
public may think. I do not care to
make any statement until I have con
sulted with the two physicians who are
associated with me. We may decide
to say nothing whatever about it If
there is any blame to be attached it
must fall on me. Dr. Carpenter and
Dr. Cope are both younger men, and
they only followed out my instructions.
I am personally responsible for think
ing out and carrying out the experi
ments. Personally, I do not care what
the public thinks. I think the exper
iments were entirely justified."
Whatever his views may be matters
little. No excuse can be urged in ex
tenuation of such a crime. It is the
climax of brutality. This scientist did
not seek to make his tests among those
who could help themselves. He went
to the poor. They were friendless.
Those babies knew nothing. Twenty
one of them have been used. Helpless,
innocent, unfortunate little waifs who
have come unasked into the world, to
be abandoned and deserted. Some
may have loving mothers somewhere.
Some have none. In the name of
science little ones, with their eyes
scarcely strong enough to stand any
test, have been treated as rabbits and
guineapigs, to see if tuberculosis acts
the same with the human being as it
does with an animal.
Is there any expression which can
be legitimately used which will des
cribe the man heartless enough to do
this? Is there any word which can be
used to explain or extenuate his ruth
less brutality with babies not old
enough or wise enough to realise that
they are probably being blinded for
life, in order to satisfy this man's
craving for scientific experiment?
This is a Christian country. We
live in a day when the common im
pulse is to befriend the helpless. Even
obdurate natures soften the babbling
cry of the waif. How any human
being with intelligence can destroy the
eyes of "materia!" taken by force from
the public almshouse, in the name of
science or anything else, is beyond
reason.
There should be a punishment for
such violations even if there is no
specific laws upon which to convict
Commercial-Appeal.
vote away."
In a word, the opposition is a strug
gle of wealth to escape a method of
federal taxation which would fall
according to capacity to pay, rather
than according to mere numbers. It
is as if the richest ward in this city
should insist that taxes be levied on
the different wards according to popu
lation, which to a large extent would
tax the laborer in his rented cottage
equally -with the financier in his own
palace. It is an attempt to fasten
upon economics the spiritual law, to
him that hath shall be given, and from
him that hath not shall be taken away
even that which be hath.
It is doubtful if our eastern million
aires are acting wisely in taking this
course. The wealth of New York and
Massachusetts has been contributed by
the entire country. To subsidize the
Massachusetts cotton and woolen mills
and corporations centering in Wall
street, and then see the beneficiaries
refuse so much as to pay taxes on
their benefits is a jar the country will
notice. And while New England and
New York may control the one-fourth
of the legislatures necessary to defeat
a constitutional amendment they can
not always control the majority in
congress which makes tariff and cor
poration laws. State Journal.
KILLING INCOME TAX.
The work of killing off the income
tax amendment to the federal consti
tution has gone on right merrily this
week. The Massachusetts lower house
administers a smashing defeat and the
New York house refuses to reconsider
a farmer unfavorable vote. The Rhode
Island legislature has adjourned after
rejecting the amendment A word
from Lodge and Aldrich would have
changed the result in their respective
states, but these devoted "supporters"
of the administration responsible for
the measure had no word to say.
To date the vote on the amendment
is six to four. South Carolina, Ala
bama, Illinois, Oklahoma, Mississippi
and Maryland have approved and Vir
ginia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts
and New York rejected it Of the
remaining states the opponents of the
amendment have to capture only seven.
With 'four New England states and
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Georgia and several other states where
wealth has great political power yet to
hear from the chances for the amend
ment seem slim enough to satisfy the
hercest of tones.
There is something justly to be said
against income taxes, particularly on
the point of difficulty of accurate
assessment But that is not the argu
ment that is doing the damage now.
The rejections have been based upon
simple money considerations. A group
of eminent corporation lawyers did the
work in New York. In Masnarhnsctts
the attitude of the opposition is sum
med up in these words of the Boston
Transcript: "It would be a great
mistake for Massachusetts and a few
other similarly situated states in this
part of the country to furnish the

MURDER AND THE DEATH
PENALTY.
What is to be done with those who
commit murder? The laws of most
countries reply that they should be
put to death. On the other hand,
there is a strong and widespread senti
ment that, no matter how heinous a
man's crime, the State is never justified
in deliberately taking his life. This
sentiment has found expression in the
laws of several American states and of
two or three European countries,
where murder is punished bv life
imprisonment
In some states where the death pen
alty was abolished, so great an increase
in murder followed that capital pun
ishment was restored.
France has passed through a similar
experience. Although the law was
not repealed, the President always
commuted the death sentence to life
imprisonment A little more than
two years age a parliamentary com
mission recommended the repeal of the
capital punishment law. But the
number of murders was growing so
rapidly that the national .sentiment
changed, and the proposed law was
not passed. President Fallieres has
recognized the present public opinion,
and, in conformity with it, signed four
death warrants early in January. For
the first time in years the guillotine
was used.
Death was once the ordinary pen
alty for felonies. Blackstone cites
160 offenses thus punished, ranging
from the unauthorized felling of a tree
to high treason. Now only four crimes
are so punished in Great Britain,
including, besides murder, violent
piracy, treason, and destruction of
public arsenals and dockyards. In the
United States the list of capital crimes
is practically the same.
But he who sheds man's blood has
his own blood demanded of him less
frequently in the United States than
in any other civilized country. There
are no trustworthy statistics, to be
sure, but it is awell known and lament
able fact that in a great number of
cases the murderer is not detected; in
some parts of the country, although
the perpetrator of the crime is known,
he is not arrested; in states where the
laws are better enforced the prosecu
tion fails to convict; and finally, the
convict frequently evades the gallows
SOME FOUES OF THE LAW IN
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.
That the criminal procedure of
courts in the United States is sadly
defective, that sweeping reforms are
needed to prevent the growth of lynch
ing outbreaks, and that this counHry
may well learn of older nations how to
administer justice to criminal cases,
are some of the things pointed out by
Charles B. Brewer in McClures's
Magazine. Beginning with the state
ment that only one life is required for
about one hundred lives taken in the
United States, the writer gives detail
ed figures for some large cities. In
Chicago, for example, he says, there
were in the fiscal year 1908, 165 homi
cides and only one legal execution.
In St Louis for the same year there
were ninety-two homicides and only
one legal execution occurred.
Discussing what he calls "a smug
complacency to place the responsibil
ity for present conditions on the forei
gner," Mr. Brewer admits that "the
re is more crime, proportionately,
among those of foreign birth in the
United States than among our native
born," but says it is "scarcely enough,
however, to cause congratulation for
our own righteousness."
A number of cases in which jus
tice was diverted for trivial reason are
cited by Mr. Brewer, of which the
following are examples:
"Because the indictment charged
that the crime had been committed on
a public 'roadand the evidence showed
that, though constantly used as such,
the road had never been dedicated to
the state.
"Because the indictment named a
specific though a correct date, instead
of saying 'on or about' a certain date.
"Because the indictment for murder
charged that the deed had been com
mitted 'unlawfully and with malice
instead of 'malice aforethought' "
Justice Brown of the United States
Supreme Court (retired) is quoted as
saying to Mr. Brewer that the choos
ing of a jury should never consume
more than one or two hours, and as say
ing further:
'A court in conservative old Eng
land will dispose of a dozen jury cases
in the time that: would be required
here for dispatching one. The cause
is not far to seek. It lies in the close
confinement of the counsel to the ques
tions atisBue, and the prompt interposi
tion of the court to prevent delay.
The trials are conducted by men train
ed for that special purpose, whose in
terest is to expedite and not prolong
them. No time is wasted in immater
ial matters. Objections to testimony
are discouraged, rarely argued, and al
most made the subject of exception.
The testimony is confined to the exact
point at issue. Mere oratory is at a
discount. New trials are rarely
granted. A criminal trial is especial
ly a serious business, since in the case
of a verdict of guilty it is all up with
the defendant, and nothing can save
him from punishment but the pardon
ing power of the Home Secretary.
The result is that defendants rarely es
cape punishment for their crimes, and
homicides are infrequent" The Union.

THE ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT.
The divorce of the Thurstons both
husband and wife being writers of no
table skill opens anew the question
as to whether a complete ami unsel
fish marriage of artistic temperaments
is possible. A few stock illustrations
in the affirmative are always cited
when the subject is broached. There
were the Brownings, who sang sweetly
in unison, and there are the Kendals,

And so on. But the list is not very
long.
It is a matter of common knowl
edge that any man or woman with a
"temperament" is a rather difficult
person to get on with. While a child
that person is likely to be the despair,
albeit the pride, of its parents.
Granted a certain gift there grows up
with its development a persistent self
esteem which may beentirely warrant
ed, not at all overweening and ultim
ately triumphant In that event it
is acclaimed; the failures do not count.
Which is all very well when this tal
ent stands alone, but when it attempts
to merge itself into a kindred talent,
into a "temperament" of equally sel
fish intensity, one or the other must
dominate, lose itself, or the two fly

Two friends, one a prosperous look

least well dressed, chanced to meet
not long ago. and the second gentle
man remembered that it was bis turn
to "buy the dinner," so they were soon
repairing to a fashionable restaurant
Their orders were generous, and they
lingered long over the good things, not
forgetting cigars at the end.
When they felt that they really bad

snowed a bit of fidgetiness and re
quested that the other go outside and
wait for him; that there was an "on
pleasant little detail" he wished to
discuss with the proprietor and conkl
not think of embarrassing his friend
by having him overhear it. The
friend did as requested, stepping out
side and waiting at the nearest corner.
He had been waiting only about five
minutes when of a sudden the door of
the restaurant flew open, and his erst

Parisian Process by Which
Wheat Grain Is Used.
Parisian bread is made without lluir' sonic years ap:
In a machine that transforms the
wheat Into dough. The machine con
sists mainly of a large screw turnin;;
loosely in a case on whose inner sur
face Is a screw thread running in ati
opposite direction.
Between the main threads on the
cylinder are smaller threads, and the
depth of the groove grows progressive
ly smaller from one end to the other,
so that it will bold the entire wheat
grain as It enters the machine and
will accommodate only the pulverized
wheat at the exit.
The wheat Is prepared by a thor
ough washing, after which about a
pint of tepid water to a ikjiiiu! of grain
is added, and the whole is allowed tu
stand about six hours. At the end of
this time the grains of wheat have'
swollen to double their ordinary size
It Is then mixed with the yeast and
salt and poured into the machine. It
falls between the threads of the mov
ing screw and of the fixed contrary
screw, which simultaneously crush the
envelope and body of the grain, mak
ing of them a homogeneous mixture
which forms a smooth paste.
Bread obtained by this process con
tains a succession of holes whose size
increases as they approach the crust,
which is thin. The odor given olT la

What imp of political perversity in
spired Mr. Bryan to drag the free sil
ver issue out of its grave at this time?
The Democratic party is getting on
its feet again. The country shows a
disposition to forget the Democratic
blunders of the past in an earnest de.
sire to rebuke the Republican party
for its broken promises, its reactionary
leadership and its alliance with
privilege, plutocracy and high protec
tion. In states like New York, New
Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Min
aesota and Kansas, the Republican
organization is shot to pieces. In con
gress the fight between regular and in
surgent is more bitter than the fight
between Republican and Democrat.
The shadow of the Big Stick hangs
over the Republican party, and the

There is a chance of electing a Democ

SUPPRESSING OPIUM IN CHINA.
It is a significant fact that simul
taneously with the wonderful decrease
in the use of intoxicating liquors in
Europe and America there should
come a determined effort on the part
of the Chinese government to nut
down the consumption of opium. By
imperial decree it was forbidden to
grow the poppy after Pebruary 9 this
year. Notice was given a year in
advance, and heavy penalties will be
imposed for infractions of the law.
February is the month in which the
poppy is grown.
The Chinese correspondent of the
London Times, writing from Kansu,
the most distant and most backward
of the eighteen provinces of the empire,
says that even there, where the poppy
industry was the most prosperous and
the use of opium the most widespread,
the imperial and local decrees are to
be enforced with great vigor. The
proclamation posted at Lanchau con
cludes with these words: "All local
authorities have been ordered every
where to inspect the fields and see that
no poppy is grown. You shall not
grow poppy again. Should any man
disobey and grow even one poppy
plant, he will be punished without
mercy and the plant he has grown
will be uprooted. All other provinces
are under similar orders. Tremble
and obey!"
The effect of this decree will be to
canse the lands heretofore devoted to
growing the poppy to be used for the
cultivation of grain, cotton, potatoes,
and beet root. Millions of acres of
poppy and few of foodstuffs have been
the cause of the nunines which have
devastated -China in the past. In
Kansu for three years the harvests
have failed; last summer there was
drought, and there has been no rain
since October, 1909. Famine is in
reality at the door. Relief has been I

Old English Laws About Buttons.
Buttons have engaged the attention
of legislators even more frequently
than hats. Five acts bare been pass
ed to protect the button industry of
England, and some of these are still
unrepealed. An act of George I. In
flicts a penalty of 40 shillings on any
person using or selling "buttons made
of cloth, serge, drugget, frieze or cam
let" This law, says the London Dally
Mall, was a source of Intense annoy
ance to foreign visitors, and the author
of "Le Parisien a Londres," a guide
written in 17S9, is careful to explain
Its provisions at considerable length.
He adds, however, that foreigners
"who are able to prove that their
clothes were made in their own coun
try escape the penalty when first sum
moned on the understanding that they
change their buttons within twenty
four hours."
