Not the least of thee;is the right to commit minderes established by many juries runder allsorte of circurntance3 recently. Public prosecutors have come to regard as the bane of the r existence the duty of placing a on tnal for thekilling of a mere man, Chicago has several dozen cases of this kind and everv one has ended in Vcquitta). Every otate has had similar, instances and it has been 'pretty well established that juries prefer the unsupported word of a woman to bales of contrary testimony every time. It is best if the defendant be pretty, but even this is no longer regarded as absolutely necessary.

Political Advertisement. Brown's Record. Mr. Editor; RC Brown, of Salem, Indiana, ; has scat ered cards over th.'s Congressional District, on which cards he Scys that he is seeking the Democratic nomination for Representative in Congress on a wet platform. He says that he is, opposed to the Fedeial Regulatory Act, known as the Volstead Law, and that he is in favor of the repeal of the Federal Constitutional Prohibition Amendment. He had also placed in the Jef fersomille Evening News and other daily- papers, a statement verting that he has been co i tiantlv opposed to prohibition and among other things says "1 have never voted for prohibition and ne er will". I have made the statement after seeing Mr. Krown's cards and before seeing the statement in the papers,"That he had been dry". I have served in the Inditna Legislature but before making up my mind to answer Mr. Brown, I have investigated his record. Mr. Brown sei ved in the Indiana Legislature as Representative from Washingtcn County during the regular sessions of 1907 and 1909 and the special session of 1908. and his record is as follow : 1st. In 1907- he -.oted for what is known as the Liq or Regulation Act. which is more strirgent and drastic in its terms and contain more authority of search and seizure than the Volstead Act. Why complain of the Federal Act when he voted for an Indiana Law more stringent and with irore authority of search and seizure? 2nd. At a special session of the Indiana Legislature in 1908, he voted in favor ot an amend ment to the Constitution of Indiana, providing lor State wide Prohibition. This proposed a mendi..enl to the Sate Constitution of Indiana is identical in nature to our present Federal Constitutional Amendment Mr. Brown voted for it and yet he never voted for prohibition Hjw could this be? 3rd At the 1907 Legislaone, Mr. Brown vo ed .-or what is known as the 4 'Moore Remonstrance Law." 4th.

VICE PB

ESHT Um VfORK OF THE SALVATION

STATESMAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO PERSONALITY OF EVANGELINE BOOTH. "ARMY FILLS GREAT NEED" Problem of tjie Age It to Arouse Brotherhood of Man, , Says Mr. Marthall In Voluntary Appreciation of Army's Work. A heartfelt appreciation of the Salvation Army and Commander Evangelrao Booth was made by Vice-President. Marshall In an informal address before a small group of people In Phoenix, Arizona, March 14. Friends of the Army preserved the address. Accompanied by Mrs. Marshall, the vice president went to Arizona to grieve over the loss of the little foster Bon who had come to mean so much to them. Finding himself called upon to speak, the vice president chbee the Salvation Army , to talk about, and gave as his reason the following statement: "I said to myself while here I would say nothing on any public question, but when I was informed that there was to be a meeting for promoting the interests of the Salvation. Army, I said 1 could not keep silent and be faithful to the memory of the little one we loved so well, if by any word. of mine I could induce you gentlement to be faithful to the little ones still on earth." Continuing the vice president said: "I have sat for seven years in the seats of the mighty, and I have met, perhaps, more of the great men of .he earth than any American prior o this age has ever se?n scholars, ' :tesnien. diplomats, patriots, oras. warriors--and yet of all the . . . l ones t'iät the opportunities of my otike.havo c tabled, nie to meet, tho 3 c tst man I have met was not Ü : v c u v.ouian, and her . i. 3 is L. o.ine licoth!

Wise to Promote Happiness. "I have not myself been opposed to any measure of legislation which good men have thought would contribute to the good of the people, but more and more, as the years go by and the nearer I get to that time when I must push aside the purple curtains for the1 twilight p.nd vgo home. I hope, I am convinced that the wisdom of mankind is to promote the real happiness of the human race, and that there is but one supreme thing in every human life that will enable a man to reach what Thomas Jefferson said that is, a supreme belief in an overruling and all-loving God. "I am myself, as most of you know, an old-fashioned, blue-stocking Presbyterian, but I am a far better Presbyterian than I am a Christian, and there are a lot of others in the same boat. I glory in the traditions of my church. I have faith that it is a power for good in the world. I am not lessening the good-will ana3 respect I bear for my own when I say to you that It is my deliberate judgment that there is not anything today in the world that is comparable to what The Salvation Army is doing for humankind. I never have doubted it since I first met and listened to Evangeline Booth. Of all the great orators ki the world, she is the greatest. "If, instead of being a Salvation lassie, she had been an actress, no woman would have graced the stage as she would have; if, instead of being a Salvation lassie, she had been a politician, it would not have been worth while for anyone else to run on the other ticket. It has been ten years now since I first met. her and presided over one of her meetings,

MARNE MEMORIAL POSTER

JUST as the school children of France gave for their country's gift to the United States the Statue of Liberty so will American school children contribute "one cent and upward" for "America's Gift to France." a monumental stctue by Frederick MacMonnies, tho noted American sculptor. Mr. MacMonnles Is contributing his services toward the monument which, it is estimated, will cost $2r0,000. The poster shown herewith, Is by Albert Sterner, noted American portrait painter. It typifies the tribute which this country will pay to the French through the Marne monument The poster will be displayed In cities, towns, and villages, and will designate many of the places where contributionsiay be made during the week of March 22 a free-will offering, in which numbers of contributors, rather than size of contributions, will be iought from school children and others. Contributions are now being received at National Headquarters, 150 Nassau street, New York, by Charles II. Sabin, president of one of New York's largest trust companies, who Is treasurer of the fund.

and she pricked my conscience as a Presbyterian then, and she has been hitting It many a blow since. ' Difference Between Horses and Men. "I remember well what she said about the different way in which wo treat men and treat horses how if a horse falls down on the Icy pavement, the street-car stops; one man a second, a third and a fouth pats the horse on the neck and says, 'Whoa, boy!' and no one asks the horse how he happened to fall down. But, In our treatment of our fellow man, she said, when he Is down, before we ever attempt to help liim up we Inquire how he came to fall down and what was in him to make him fall. For the first time in all my relgious life I understood what was meant by the Scriptures (I do not quote accurately) : 'How can you love Qod whom you have not seen if you do not love your brother whom you have seen? From that time I have watched, and whether I could by word of mouth or by contribution, I have helped this Salvation Army, for what the world really needs, and you know it and I know it, is not somebody who is underneath you pushing you up, or someone who is above you pulling you up, but it is somebody who is just beside you, walking with with you and keeping you up, and that is what The Salvation Army does Cor humankind. "Brotherhood in America is something of a joke. In the city of Washington a lady's maid will not associate with a chamber-maid, and a chamber-maid will not associate with a scullery-maid. A chauffeur will not associate with a Government clerk, and a Government clerk will not associate with a clerk in a store. And what a clerk in a store will associate with I have never found out. We preach here about democracy and about God making all men equal, and we go on, each man arrogating to himself that he is just a little bit better than any other man. "Now,. The Salvation Army does not do that. Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and the lowest magdalene s'itting by the wayside of life are treated just the same. The Salvation Army says, 'God made you all, and if you expect to have any standing in His sight you have got to get nearer together and closer together and have more confidence in each other.' Asks Blessing on Salvation Army. "I do not want you to think that I am disloyal to my own church, because I belong to one that yöu cannot quit. They can throw you out, and I do not want to be thrown out, and I do not mean that should lessen any zeal you have for your various denominations, but I do mean that this organization fills a great need In the world today. The problem is not one of labor or capital, or of poveity or riches, or of democracy or aristocracy. The problem of this age is to believe that men are mutually helpful to each othe. and that men have mutual interests in each other. That is the problem of this age and toward the total solution of it all religious organizations of America will contribute, but I know of no organiza tion which will stand back of men and humankind better than the Salvation Army. And for its success I pray God's blessing! It can find things out for you that you and I could not find out. "There Is a man out here at Scottsdale that I think more of than any man In America. Do you know why? I will tell you: Because when he goes by my little bungalow he throws up his head and yells: 'Hello, Tom!' I am not Vice-President of the United States to him; I am just a plain, old-fashioned, God-fearing American to that man. That Is what I like about that fellow, and that is what I like about The Salvation Army. That is what, I hope, will permeate into the hearts of the churches and Into the hearts of all our people."

(POLICE DOG if REAL HERO Breaks Leg While Herding Boys Out of Dinger of Speeding Automobile. New York. Bum, the celebrated police dog of the Brownsville station, has been granted a sick leave, so that a broken hind leg, received In the performance of duty, may mend. Bum was led into the station by Policeman Becker. He refused to allow his escort to carry him. He stood at attention while Becker made a report of the case and went with Becker to the policeman's home, where he will stay until the leg Is better. Bum was on duty with Policeman Becker in Pitkin avenue, near Bristol street. Some children in Bristol street screamed at the approach of an automobile and Bum dashed out. The children were not hit, but he was run over, and when he got up his left leg was dangling. A surgeon on a passing ambulance set the leg, and the neighborhood veterinary put It In splints. Bum Is a French poodle with a long pedigree. He was acquired by th Brownsville station about three years ago. Along Pitkin avenue he tours with his favorites, who are Policemen Becker, Kanuch and Schneldermuller. He rides in passing automobiles, street cars and Is always on the patrol wagon when It makes Its rounds. He Is indispensable In keeping crowds back at fires.

The latest biographer of Bismarck, C. Grant RoberUou, calls attention to the way In which the great German chancellor was responsible for his own destruction. It was Bismarck's aim to build, not a constitutional government, but an autocracy, says Kansas City Star, m In himself he concentrated the whole . power of .the state. Then came the young William II to the throne, restless and ambitious. The two clashed. Had Bismarck been the parliament-made minister of a constitutional sovereign If Would have been William who would have iiad to give way. For the chancellor had the confidence of the nation. But as Mr. Robertson says, while a plebiscite would have retained him In office, the nation could not save him. He had made that Impossible. As a result of hU fall Bismarck denounced as Byzantlnlsm and caesar worship" this very irresponsible power which It had been his life work to build up. The same Ironical fate might be traced In the further development of Bismarck's handiwork. The state which he founded on Iron and blood came to ruin by attempting to expand his policy.
