eold-blooded and cowardly murder naturally aroused his
friends and neihbors.to a while heat with immediate vviuunv.
as a natural react ion.
ffOWKVKIf, we still live in a civilized country. We still have
law and the police. Dastardly as the crime was, condi
tions would have boon rendered worse rather than better, by
another crime, particularly when thj latter crime would havqj
meant yielding to a primitive impulse, which would have'
! changed to re 1 ret and a feeling of fortuitous guilt after the com-!
: miinity passions had cooled. j
It is not sympathy fur the guilty criminal that, condemns!
I lynching, hut a realization that lawlessness of any kind breeds
t lawlessness, and that no civilized community can sanction it:
without suffering a certain moral
rious dangers in the future.
T VIKW of such a crime, however, an unescapable responsibil
i ty, it seems to us, rests upon the courts and the officials
whose duty it is to uphold and enforce the law.- Kvery accused
person, no matter how overwhelming the evidence against him,
deserves a fair trial.
'Hut there should he no delay in securing sinh a trial, and
the people should he spared the spectacle of a long drawn out
legal battle, designed solely to defeat the forces of prompt jus
tiee.
In other words, the sooner this murder trial is held and fin
ished assuming a plea of guilty is not entered, the better for
all concerned. For it is the law's delay the deep-seated feel
iiiK among the people Ilia t k'gal justice in this country is neither

that you have acne blackheads
and pimple. Most regular girls

Answer. Sems to me you are

As for the Indian boy, perhaps he

you had better have a quiet talk

The Slae of Pears
To the Editor:
It Is a matter of common know
ledge among people interested in
the fruit business that the returns
for all small 13 art le Us shipped east
this eeaaon were very unsatisfactory
and It is likely that growers and
shippers alike will unite on the
advisability of eliminating the
small sizes from shipment thin
coming season. The accompanying
table is taken from the California
I'ear Grower, the, official organ of
the association of which Frank T.
Swett is president, and purports
to give the number of Kartlctt
liears of a given size that it takes
to fill a box to a grots weight of
52 pounds at the beginning of the
season when the pear. have a low
sugar content:
135 to box 2 5-8 inches
I 'iO to box - 2 1-2 "
165 to box 2 3-8 "
I 8(1 to box - 2 1-4 "
15 to box 2 1-8 "
210 to box 2
225 to box 1 7-8 "
Two weeks after the beginning
of the season, when there is a great
er sugar content and the pears are
heavier the sizes are a follows: '
135 to box ,.. 2 1-2 inches
150 to box 2 3-8 "
1 65 to box 2 1 -4 '
ISO tb box 2 1-8 "
lit 5 to box 2
210 to box 17-8 "
225 to box 1 3-4 "
.Many of tho packers make a box
weighing more than 52 pounds
gross, it has been suggested that
nothing smaller than ISO's bo pack
ed this year, and where the gross
weight of a box runs from 54 toj
57 pounds ft iri probable that a 2 I
inch pear is about the smallest)
that will make the size. CI rowers
can govern themselves accordingly.
