HUMANE EDUCATION.
And we likewise say to our mag
istrates add to those entrusted with
authority in oar government, that
mercy and justice are qualities of
such fundamental importance in the 1
commonwealth and In the nation that
teaching these virtues should be as
much a part of the curriculum of our
schools as a knowledge of spelling or
arithmetic. Instruction in the latter
is to the ship of state what barter and
trade are to commercial Me, but the
former qualities are like the compass
which guides the craft freighted with
a nation's hopes to a safe haveu. For
national protection we ask that hum
ane education be placed on a parity
with other school studies. A large
proportion of our population receives
no moral or ethical instruction at
the present time. Is the growth of
the wheat to be left uuassisted to the
competition of the tares? Shall we
protect manufactures aud not our na
tional character production? Is heart
culture in a nation not as essential
as head culture? Is not honor, Justku
and consideration for the weak as ac
cessary for good citizenship as addi
tion mnd subtraction? If "might" is
still to be the criterion of "right" in
our public and private relations we
may as well say a long farewell to
that genuine righteousness which
stands for right thinking and right
action.
Is it not time to approach this
question intelligently and effectually?
Already fourteen states have compul
sory humane education laws. Every
state should have such laws. Human
itarians generally should unite with
this association to carry a campaign'
of humane education . Into every
stat legislature, and also to see to
it I tat the great school publishing
hou: ?s furnish high class text-books
to eet the resultant demand. In
this way only can we reach the youth
of the entire land. To touch and cap
ture their hearts is the goal of the
humane work of the future. It is
the ftafcl solution of our problem. To
do this requires co-operation and ade
quate financial assistance. When we
have reached this objective point the
deadliest blow will have been struck
at criminality and war ttself must
soon become impossible. *

President American Humane Associa

THE JUDICIAL PROSECUTOR.
FVom time to time it has been the
privilege of the general reader to ab
sorb weighty arguments against our
judicial system. This Is a compara
tively free country, and it follows j
that our judges come in for occasiona
criticisms. That is as it should be. j
The American constitution would hav j
to be revised at once if we could not ^
find fault.
And yet we are very far ahead of
some of the most enlightened and pro
gressive foreign countries. Over in
France, for ift&tance, they are having
a big murder trial. In this case, we
see tie judge denouncing the testi
mony of th? defendant herself as a
"tissue of falsehoods''; we read of
how he declares himself "speech
less with Indignation" over the
statements of other witnesses. Accord
ing to the American idea, this sort
of thing is rot merely unfair? It is
positively outrageous. A Judge, we
are accustomed to believe, should be,
and Is by ta'* ,a2n absolutely neutral
referee. If ho' departs from this char
acter, even iu his charge to the jury,
an American lawyer would uot be de
terred froui protesting b.v the possi
bility of commitment for contempt.
"They do things differently In
France, " says au old proverb. Let
us be thankful for the ocean that
separates us. They do these things
differently even In England, some
times. We have uot forgotten iu
this country the attitude of the Judge
who presided at the trial of Kloreuce
Maybrick. We are thankful to be
able to believe that this case too
was a contravention of Judicial pro
priety. But meanwhile let us praise
the Institutions under which we were
born that never ou this side of the
water shall we or can we see a judge
in the role of a prosecuting attorney.

their next resting place is the garb

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago.
which has kept the kidneys in good
health since, can bo relied upon to
perform the same work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fonton, 3903 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
meat for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills soin
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all 1 then said in their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from tho first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. 1
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
