Oi of our would bo prominent

should reinemhcr what chief justice

in tho Aloni case last October.
"That a man who, by the use of in
toxicants, voluntarily dethrones his
reason, cannot plead his condition
as in mitigation of crime but it is to
bo taken as an aggravation of tho
offense." This is sound loyio and
good law. Under this construction
apologies for abuse are not in order

When they first began building
McAdam roads iu Essex and Hud
sou Counties the opposing farmers
eveu want so far as to legally enjoin
them lrarn pTuceofririg- Wlfn. the
work. Two years later these and
other farmers wore petitioning for
MuAdam rouds. They had driven
them nod realized their advantages
and though Ihey were generally
much more expensive than this Co.
anticipates building yet the farmers
were willing to bear their propor
tion of the expense to get them,
and are satisfied. ,
Turkey dinners come but once
a year usually and being enjoyable

civilized people.
. There is no passing noed to bond
the County to build McAdam roads
as many good people soeiu to fear.
Many a town has bonded to aid
corporate enterprises from which
they received little b.melit a- com
pared to what the t corporations
lilehud from them, yet no howl went
up. In this case tho farmers do but
pay their fair proportion of taxes
for McAdam roads and they are the
ones most lieuetited. If tho people
are willing to bond for those roads
simply as a busiuess proposition, and
