We read that “the first method of spreading news was by word of mouth.” It is also the last. In Massachusetts Porothy Wind mar- ried Alfred Storms. Now there will prob- ably be some little squalls, Every new arm relief measure seems a little crazier than the one before. And not only crazier but also costlier. A California town puts lators in jail. If that custom were general pedestrians would have a clear track, A New York man, thought dead, is said to have been restored by liquor. If it had been the other way around it wouldn’t have been news. Property owners, who under the pres- ent arrangement by the city with the bond holders, are not paying their taxes because the city is indebted to them for services rendered certainly cannot be considered taxdodgers. Resigned to their fate, lots of public office holders in Tallahassee are resigning. Some, seeing the handwriting on the wall, are a jump ahead of the governor, others just wait until the request, looked for with anxiety, calls, « The sun stn on a ek as well as the just, and ‘he taxdodger gets the same protection from the city and county government as the taxpayer, but what a fine satisfaction it is to know you have done your duty.

Several cases were cited by Robert Cantweii of the Chicago, bar re cently, including the following: is In the Boorne case in Vermor-, two brothers confessed to a murder, but the man supposed to have been murdered showed up later, alive and well. In Illinois, three Trailor brothers confessed to murder- ing a man named Fisher, and_ wituesses | testified to having seen the dead body, yet |} Fisher turned up alive. In the same state | a man named Turner was sentenced to} death, but secured a new trial and before * the second trial could be held the alleged victim returned. These are only three out of a large num- ber of similar cases cited by Mr. Cantwell, who declares that he has authentic records | of no less than 129 persons who confessed and were executed for murders, although | > their supposed victims were found to. be | alive afterward. This is not intended as a plea for laxity in bringing the guilty to justiee, but it serves to show the great responsibility which rests upon juries and judges, as well as to emphasize the unreliability of cir- cumstantial evidence, even when accom- panied by a confession of guilt, in some eases. It particularly illustrates the fright- ful injustice of lynching under any er cumstances. ‘ REAL “ACCIDENTS FEW What are generally classed as acci- dents are in most cases not accidents at all, but merely the results of pure careless- ness or recklessness, according to a noted surgeon, who declares that really un- Preventable accidents are very few. The greater number of accidents are traffic vio-| Caused by failure to keep in mind the con- sequences of a slight mistake in judgment, or in “taking a chance” even when the danger is realized. Of 33,000 deaths in the United States through automobile accidents each year, it is safe to say that 90 per cent of them are due to someone’s disregard of ordinary safety precautions. The worst feature of |‘ this is that a reckless driver not only en- dangers himself but also trifles with ihe lives of others. In accidents due to fire the same prin- ciple holds good. Everyone knows how easily the careless throwing of a lighted mateh may start a disastrous fire, yet mil- lions of lighted matches, cigars and 3 cigarette stubs are cast aside with little or no caution. Practically every fire that oc- eurs is caused by stupid carelessness. Accidents do happen, ofcourse, un- der circumstances wherein no one appears to be at fault, but these are in the minority. | Generally accidents are caused by ignor- ance, carelessness or wanton disregard of consequences.
