According to census statistics, 10,000 per sons are murdered in this country every year. Of the murderers but two In every ono hundred are punished. 1.3 per cent of homicides Is a conviction secured. The World Today sum ma rites conditions thus: "There are four and a half times (ft our population today as there Were "The significant fact about It all Is that the rest of the world docs not share these statistics. Our Increased wickedness is confined to our own borders. In the march of civilisation, as applied to the protection of public llfd and public property, may lead the globe in many things. We assuredly lead It in crime. In 95 per cent of the homicides of Germany, the guilty person is brought to Justice. In Spain, the number of convictions is 85 per cent of the total number of crimes. In France, it Is 0 per cent; in Italy, 77 per cent; in England, 60 per cent.

The Mall .Tribune did not say . inemselves out of all semblance of the humiliation of a city prisoner with a ball and chain attached," but gone to seed, that gloated over a brutal prize fight and Is shocked at pun irhment of crime, humiliating but not brutal. t. 'ine Man Trioune is neither defending uor attacking pugilism. It prints accounts of prize fights the same as or tno news or the day demanded by its patrons the public, both tho bu- raanltarians and the ball and chain man. -It recognizes prize flchts for what ', they are survivals of the brutal instincts underlying the veneer of civlliza- ; Uon but it also recognizes the futility of attempting to change human nature. The street commissioner, to whom the hobo was intrusted, was sa strick en vflth remorse after reading Mr. Andrews' article that he substituted love and tru3t for the ball and chain, much to the prisoner's regret, for it was a proud moment in Mr. Head-Cracker's existence to be the observed of all observers. The commissioner looked Into those eyes, which Mr. An drews said so hungered for human love, and"' trusted htm alone, not for halt a day, as Mr. Andrews suggested, but for about two minutes, and Mr. Hobo madly sprinted through tho chaparral toward some distant city, where skulls may be split with impunity. So ends another dream of lovo. tt4t THAT BALL AND CHAIN. r. , To-Ahe Editor: I desire an exception to your edi torial In last ovenlng's issue on "The . Ball, the Chain and the FIgHt," and I must Bay that the argument con talned in that editorial is entirely unworthy of your ability and does not la .any way reflect your sentiment. know your goodness of heart too well to 'believe that this is a true note . from your heart and will only be ' Here that that organ in this Instance IS badly out of tune. What does it matter if 30-called IfttiuanltarlanB did gloat over the re I .?ns of a prize fight? What did the nan and with the ball and chain have to do with the fighters? Where In does that justify the punishment of a defenseless prisoner? ; By courtesy of the Mall Tribune the bulletins of that fight were glvea . to the public and all of the "choice morsels" that the same humanitarians ."gloated over" camo from your of ftflee, and were later published In spe "j.elflc detail In your paper. If you jure opposed to prize fighting ,why ABOt take It out on the fighters and -Fflght promoters, and not on the poor , devil with the ball and chain? If this man Is the desperate Incen diary be Is charged with being, he doeo not belong In the city jail, and ' so one knows this better than you; but to say that because two fighters voluntarily pummel themselves out ,of all semblance of humanity la i Justification for the humiliation of a Jilty prisoner by dragging him through the streets with a ball and t'efcalu attached to his leg is, to say tha least, a far-fetched argument. All men are preausaed to be efyial before the law, and If one person Is to be punished for an laJractloa of the law, all should receive a like speasura of punisbneat for the same ' Tlolatloa, The friendless hobo Is en- I Mo A t r Mia BLatMaa AAnafff ata fvn am tk. qr fortunate Malefactor, who has money and friends to protect hli Interests.

ONLY ONE "BEST." Medferd Pestfe Give Credit Where Credit Is Due. People of Medford who suffer with sick kidneys and bad backs want a kidney remedy that can be depended upon. The best is Doan's Kidney Pills, a medicine for the kid neys only, made from pure roots aud herbs, and the only one that is back ed by cures in Medford. Here's Med ford testimony: Mrs. C. H. Hoxie, Fir street, Med ford, Or., says: "I publicly recom mended Doan's Kidney Pills in 1907 after they had benefited me, and now I am pleased to speak in thei favor again. I had kidney troubl for several years and the backache gradually grew worse ao time passed. If I attempted to stoop or moV quickly, sharp twinges darted through my loins and hips, and some times I was lame for days. Tho kid oey secretions passed far too fro quentty, and I also noticed sediment in them when they were allowed to stand. My health steadily ran down and I was feeling miserable at the time I commenced taking Doan Kidney Pills, which I procured at ITaskins' drug store. They helped me from the first, although other remedies had proven useless, and as I continued takiug them, I grew bet ter, until not one symptom of my ol trouble remained' For sale by all dealers.

Mrs. Brightidea gave the most do lightful little recherche supper the other evening after the theater. Her home always looks charming, for it is well lighted by electricity, and the artistic arrangement of color in ber bouse decorations show off to fine advantage. When the friends gathered in the dinlng-rqom around tho supper table. Mrs. Brightidea turned a littl switch and, Wore long, the most de licious odor of an appetizing repast began to float through the room as the steam rose from the chafing dish. Some of the friends were fairly baffled, for they failed to see any name; there was uo odor, as was generally very noticeable from an al cobol lamp, bo matches there was, in fact, nothing objectionable, so the chafing-dish supper was a most sue cessful little affair. Mrs. Brightidea quite enjoyed mystirytne; her friends, bough even tually she had to atisfy their curi osity and acknowledge that "the fairy of the feast" was electricity. A chafing dish heated bv elec tricity is certainly ideal, and the swellest thing out to satisfy the pal ate, charm the eye and comfort the heart It is a practical little device that places the owner above the ordinary rut or hostesses. A variety of dishes too numerous to mention may quickly and easily be prepared on an electric chafintr uinu wnuo yon cnai wan your friends Jlfl. et- . . a i.i all done In such a beautiful, easy and mysterious way that to tell about it sounds like a story ont of tlie "Arabian Nights." 292 George Iindley, oashler of the Jacksoa county bank, was at Oold Hill Saturday on business.
