The case of the peace party was a simple, straight-forward case. Why, they asked, should we continue to fight? Our sweet enemy France is on her knees and ready to accept our terms.

Rube guessed by his serious judicial manner that he was passing a sentence of punishment upon him. "It's a pity none o' you c'n understand plain, straight-forward English," he protested.

I have no mother," she added with simple pathos. The moisture came into his eyes.
The sinful being who has no control over self acquires lust, anger and other vices. It is the immemorial rule that virtuous actions are those that are founded on justice, and it is also ordained by holy men that all iniquitous conduct is sin.
