Mo., by Deputy Sheriff William Johnson yesterday. Grant was arraigned before Jus tice of the Peace Brown of Man grove township charged with a statutory offense. He was held for the grand jury and his bond fixed at $500, which he was unable to give. Both he and the girl were brought to Palmyra last night and placed in jail She is the daughter of Dan Mar tin, living near Nelsonville. A week ago Grant, according to his confession, drove away from home with the girl. They spent tho week with acquaintances in Lewis, Shelby and upper Marion counties.

They said they had eloped to Shelbyville and had been married there. use The officers of the surrounding counties were notified as soon as the girl was missed from home. Sheriff Lasley received news of the couple Monday and sent Deputy Sheriff Johnson to Bostwick. He found the couple there. Grant told the story of his aimless wanderings through three counties to Johnson. The girl : will be held at the almyra jail until her father comes for her. Courier Post. The iniquity of the Republican tariff laws can be seen in the tobac co and sugar schedule. Tobacco is a luxury; sugar a prime necessity. bbacco is bought by those who desire, but do not need it; sugar is a staple on every man's table. And yet we only tax the luxury from six-tenths of 1 per cent to 8 per cent of the retail price, while we tax the necessity 35 per cent. And then Uncle Sam gets the revenue on tobacco, while he only gets 52 cents of every $1.30 he collects on sugar, the remaining 87 cents going to the sugar trust. O, it's a beauti ful system that requires the poor scrub woman to pay twelve times as much taxes for the sugar that sweetens her morning cup of coffee, as the rich man pays on the cigar with which he regales himself after a numptuous breakfast. By doubl ing the tax on tobacco and cigars Uncle Sam could give the people free sugar and rice without the loss of revenue but that would not suit the sugar trust and hence the Re publican party is against it Ex. It is declared that a lawyer once made a hard fight for a humble client who was charged with steal ing $15.60 from the cash drawer in a saloon while the barkeeper was out in the wareroom, says the Lamar Democrat Finally, after mature deliberation, the jury brought in a verdict of acquittal 'I certainly ought to have some pay for defending you, remarked the man of the law, "have-you got any money at all?" The acquitted de fendant grinned. "I've still got that fifteen sixty," he said. "You infernal scoundrel," exclaimed the outraged counselor angrily, "hand every cent of it here."

As a rule I guess men in this country get somewhere near what is coming to them, at least I hope so, but not always, young fellow, not always. If every man did really get what he deserved there would be no oc casion for any complaint chewing the rag over inequitable condition, eta For no man has a right to complain if he gets just what he is justly entitled to all the way the road. Even them some men would get more than others be cause they deserve more and if they really deserve more they ought to have it. But there do seem to be men who are born unlucky. I have one in mind. He is as honest as the June day is long. He is about the most industrious man I ever saw the harvest field in his part of the , state. Everybody likes him for he is a good square man. It seems to be a case of hard luck. I have known men who prosper ed who didn't deserve a thing so far as I could see. They never really did a good honest day's work in their lives. They seemed to take life easy, dressed well, took vaca tions in the hot months, had horses and carriages so long as horses and carriages were fashionable methods of transportation and had the best automobiles when touring cars be came common. I have wondered how some of these men managed to get along with such ease and so little trouble. They didn't deserve it so far as I could see, but the fact was that the finest fruits of fortune seemed to just naturally fall into their laps. There are quite a lot of things however, in this world of gumboils and sorrow that I don't pretend to understand. Farmer's Mail & Breeze. The Riht of Speedy TriaL The Baltimore Evening Sun quotes the following from the sixth article of the constitution of the United States: "In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an im partial jury of the State and dis trict wherein the crime shall have - in principal and several million of1 and what is more, seems to have dollars In interest over the Novem ber proposition.

Evidently the framers of the Constitution had not had hod much experience with people who were accused in criminal pro secutions. It has come to be the first business of lawyers who de fend the people in criminal cases to prevent speedy trials by impartial juries, and it must be said for the lawyers, if it is any compliment to them, that they generally succeed. Ability to put the brakes on the wheels of justice is the criminal lawyer's chief qualification, and the good sense, but luck is against him.
