Is it common sense to have the law step in and take hold of a man who acts in de- and have him fined for his ac- tions? It may be good law to do so. but it doesnt seem that a law bearing such interpretation is based on a common-sense foun- dation. The foregoing. we are free to. admit, has a local significance. It: refers to a fistic encounter that: took place here not very long ago.‘ If we have the correct information one man was unduly set on by tvm others, and feeling the assault and seeing the approaching hat- tery he peeled off his coat and trimmed the two of them. The Chronicle would consider he was right in doing so. but the law steps in and the two who started the row were found guilty and fined. So far. the law and com- mon sense were in harmony to our way of thinking, but the law goes a step further and imposes a fine on the man who defended himself against his two assailants. At this point we think there was a wide breach between the law and the common sense on which it should be founded. It may he the de- cision was based on the wording and interpretation of a t0Wn by- law. If so. is the town hy-law in harmony with the statutes? If it conflicts with the statutes it isn't law. Let us not be misunderstood; we are Opposed to quarreling. and were never in sympathy with lighting. but when a fellow is aching {or a fight we like to .09 him get all that’s coming to him. We do not think, however. that any man should be tried for defending himself against an aggravated assault for which he was in no way responsible. DURHAM. OCTOBER '2. 1913. When crimes aeservmg a punishmpnt will continue to treated as lightly as they been in some cases in the past. Only hmt Week. a young imbe- cile who set fire to the Hartley House harm in Walkerton, was sent for three years to the peni- tentiary. The boy was a sort of a freak, a partial degenerate. and perhaps not responfible for his own actions. Under the cir- cumstances the judge had much ditticn‘ty in meting out a pun- ishment to fit the crime. He look- ed upon such a class, hOWeVer. as a menace to societv. and unfit to only course. and a course, in the opinion of The Chronicle, that might be followed with greater frequency. If a person becomes a danger to the community in which he lives. all sentiment should be thrown to the winds. and such a character should be placed where he can do the least harm. Another man at Simcoo. guilty: of improper assault on a young girl. was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary and had twen- tv lashes imposed upon him dur- ing his imprisonment. The im- prisonment, to many, causes no fear. but a good vigorous appli- cation 01 the 13:11 appeals directlv to the senses of the most hardened criminall, and few there be who haven’t a wholesome dread of this kind of punishment. fl.

The best time to begin for next. year’s fair is now. and by making a start at once and keeping up the agitation. the results of 'the 1914 exhibition will surpass anything yet held in quantity and quality of exhibits. and barring, extremelv unfavorable weather. the gate receipts will be all right.

In an interview he ex- pressed himself as Well pleased with the exhibit in all classes. He quite enough exhibited. He ex- preqsed himself as well pleased with the management of the fair. and found everything Well con- ducted. Much cnuid be done to give ap- pearance to the show inside the hall if business men would go to a little more trouble in displaying their warm and commodities. The oxhibits of C‘. P.

A concert was held on both nights. but the attendance Was not large enough to be profitable to the society.
