Scientists are talking again about the
gradual subsistence of the Atlantic coast
of his country. A landmark set up in
Fairfield County. Connecticut, about
100 years ago. is now deep under water
at low tide, and along the New Jersey
shore it has been necessary to move
houses back at intervals of thirty years.
At II point on the Florida coast Il
lighthouse had to be abandoned and an
other built higher on the shore. The
indications are strong that Long Island
was once Il part of the mainland. Along
the Atlantic in Northern Europe the
coast is slowly rising. but the Italian
shore is subsiding. Fortunately. scien-
fists maintain that there is an alterna-
ton in this movement. and that in the
curse of ages our Atlantic seaboard
will rise again.

Do lawyers respect the law: With
4 good many of them the chief aim and
end Of life seems To be to lind loopholes
in the law by which its purpose can be
defeated. Ii ordinary practice at the
bar Il legal quihblc counts for more
than principle or Justice. As many suits
are won or tecAnicalitieS as on their
merits. Many big corporations hire the
best lawyers thcy can find to study
means by which the law can be evaded
without mourning the penalties that
would attach TO direct violation. Does
it betoken respect for the law on the
part of h lawyers that they so willing

Alexander Wilkinson, William W.
Edwards and Farley E. Gordon, the al
legged ballot box suffers, came up TO
plead before Judge Bartch. Their at
torneys, Judge Henderson and H. H.
Henderson asked leave to withdraw
the demurrers in the case of Willnin-
son and to file a motion for the dis
missal of the indictments.
The application was opposed by the
district attorney, but after argument
it was sustained.
The demurrer to the indictment for
conspiracy was urged on the ground
that it was not direct and certain as
to the offense charged, also that more
than one offense was charged. That
conspiracy, which is a misdemeanor,
was merged into the crime of changing
ballots, which is a felony, and that the
facts stated in the indictment did not
constitute a public offense.
The indictment for ballot box stuffing
was demurred on the ground that it
did not state grounds sufficient to con-
stiute a public offense and that it was
not direct and certain as to the offense
charged.
The motion to dismiss the Indictment
in the Wilkinson case was argued by
Judge SuppOII VI II anu
by Judge Judd and Assistant District
Attorney MaginrSs against it.
The ground taken is that Foreman
Eldredge served on a previous grand
jury within period of two years and
that Mr.. Jones, another member of the
grand jury, had served as petit juror
within the same time.
The statute on which the defendants
rely says:
EVERY male citizen of the United
States is an eligible juror who has not
served on grand or petit juries within
the term of two years next proceed
ing"
The district attorney claimed that
this law was passed in 1878 although it
bears the date of March Is, 1884, and
that subsequently it was repealed by
an act which provides that "a person
is not competent to act as juror who
has served as such within year"
After the arguments his honor took
1t under Adjustment and the hearing
ON the demurrerS in the other two
cases was continued until next Satur-
day. Should his honor sustain the mo-
ton to dismiss in the case argued 1T
will apply to the other two cases and
there will be no need for arguments on
deEl1urrers.
The point raised is far reaching as
if it is sustained it will doubtless in
validate all the indictments returned
by the late grand jury.
