These frequent pleas for estab

foolish evasions and attempts at de

are so applied to present and pros

E
iX-JUSTICE O'BRIEN of New

plimentary terms to ex-PresI-l

and in part said: " "Whenever the

PERSON possessing the faculty
of not only deep but sinuous
penetration through logical (or
Illogical) labyrinths, by which
one-may arrive at exactly the op
posite conclusion from that which
an ordinary straight-going reason
ing process would have carried him
to, can learn considerable by ob
serving carefully the decisions of
some of ' our higher courts. "The
law" is a thing past finding out, ex
cept through a decision of the high
est court, and then one can learn
only that as to a particular point It
Is thus and so, but why let him
not Inquire.
Up in Baker county a woman was
beaten with a leather strap by
man, who, with another, menaced
her with "pistol and gun." The
men were convicted under a statute
making It a felony for a person, when
armed with a menacing gun, to beat
or strike another with a "cowhide,
whip, stick or other like thing' But
the supreme court, of course cor
rectly, In point of law, says they
were wrongfully convicted because
a "leather strap" is not a "cowhide,
stick, whip or other like thing."
Now see how foolish you would
have been If you Imagined that a
"leather strap" was anything llkd a
"cowhide, whip or stick." Of course
a leather strap might be made of
cowhide, but It Is not a whole cow
hide, and then perhaps the prosecu
tion failed to prove that It was even
a piece of cowhide; It might have
been a piece of calfhlde, or steer
hide. And everybody will admit on
reflection that a piece of strap Is not
just like a whip, atti(4ptally unlike
a stick.
So we live and learn. Moral: If
you want to beat a woman, intimi
dating her meanwhile with a gun
use neither stick, whip tor cowhide,
but a leather strap. The size and
weight of it are immaterial.

"What Is the matter with the
Democratic party?" the Louis
ville Post says, in part: "To
day, within the Democratic party,
there Is no overwhelming principle
controlling the thoughts and the
conduct of men. There is no unani
mity concerning the kind of legisla
tion that should be enacted. There
Is no support of principles which a
large body of the American people
want applied to government."
This is perhaps trite. But isn't
it equally true of the Republican
party? The Post says that "Mr.
Bryan is the only Democratic leader!
who has been

Democratic party should with prac

this year, might It not be said that
that party was united in favor of
such legislation and principles as he
advocates? And w all know pretty
well what these are.
Can the Republican party make a
