"kNOV: Is POWER"

Judge Page, Of this judicial District, was
arrested at his bone, l. few days ago, for !ass
driving in the street. He w:s taken before
. justice for trial. and upon his informing the
court that TIE ordinance under which ao was
arrested was unconstitutional. the court saw
the point and diSm sSed the action. Any
other mal-without this knowledge Of tho
law-woulI have been convicted and fined, us
many have been under the same ordinance
knowledge is power. Democrat
Friend Mckinney is ironical. Although
knowledge is power the ABUSE Of Enowl-
edge is perfectly contemplate. Nobody
knows better than s. Page docs that the
ordinance against fast driving is whole
some one and necessary for the safety and
protection OF citizens, and yet he wanton-
~ violated it, and we are told, bcastcd
tina, lie would drive as he pleased. How
does such conduct and such threats as
these compcrt with the dignity and Char
acter of District Judge-wc mean a
respectable md respected Judge. Mr..
Grecnman, Tie late City Attorney is a
good fellow, but lie is tmil!-lis vertebval
column is too long, and the "bac's bone
don't extend the whole length Of i,-he
weakcns in the presence 9; Page, and is
inclined to agree with him-to save 4 dis
pute, and to keep his law business from
falling off.
We have heard Of man who said he
would treat the Devil with respect be.
cause it was impossible to forcscc whether
he might not at some time fall into mis-
hands. Grcenman has evidently the same
turn Of mind, and very discreetly declined
to prosecute the action against Page. Il
was not knowledge, Brother Mckenney
that relieved the defendant; any man has
sense enough 70 go out of court when tlt
peoples attorney says he won't pyosecut,
and the court d;smisscs the case
