WET OR DRY
Judge Bullock Tells His Side of the
Story

Judge Bullock Tells His Side OF the
The result of the habeas cor
pus rests upon a legal question.
My construction of the law
is this:
First. The constitution, Art.
xix, requires that the local option
election should be under the gen.
eral election law.
Second. The act of 1897
makes the certificate of the
county canvasslng board prima
facie evidence of the regular call
ing and holding of the election.
Third. The general election
law creates the county canvass
ing board and there is no other
county canvassing board.
Fourth. The county canvass
ing board as created is composed
of the supervisor of registration,
county Judge and the chairman
of the board of county commits
sioners, or in his absence or sick
ness, some other member of the
board.
Fifth. The certificate of the
county commissioners, who are
not the county canvassing board
as created by the general election
law, IS not evidence, because
they are not the board designated
by the act of 1897, to wit: Coun-
ty canvassing board, whose GER
tificate is prima facie evidence.
There were other legal grounds
relative to the ballot. contend
that the election was "public
measure" ard the general elec-
ton law requires that all pub
Lie measures, submitted to vote
of the people, "shall be twice re-
peated on the ballot" This was
not done.
All Of these positions the court
overruled.
On the question of the count OF
the names take the position
that when the name presented on
the petition is materially different
from the registration book that
you cannot count that name I'm.
less the state in rebuttal shows
that, though a different name,
they are, in fact, the same per
son. For instance, if the name
on the petition is "Tex' Martin,
the supervisor of registration is
asked if such name is on the
books as registered voter, and
he answers mo" Then as tC
this one name the prlma facie
charac cter Of the certificate Is
overcome, and it is incumbent or
the state to produce evidence in
rebuttal, and show that Tex
Martin is a registered voter, or
the books under the name o1
Geo. w. Martin; IN other words.
to identity TEX" Martin, not
registered, to be G.. w. Martin
who is registered. The reason is
that there is no power in the
court to assume that "Tex'

and the same man. II this is

THE ORIGIN OF MODESTY.
From The London Globe.

From The London GIobe.
In A recent number OF The Psychological Re-
view" HaVelOck Ellis has an interesting paper
on The Ev button of Modesty." in which he
seeks to show that modesty is founded on a fear
OF disgusting others Hiram NJ. Stanley. of Lake
Forest H. controverts this view and argues
that real modesty comes from a regard to ones
own feelings rather tn IN the feelings of others.
Miss Hapgood. in Russian Rambles has re-
lated that when she went to battle with Russian
women she had to dispense with bathing cos
tune. otherwise they would have thought she
was conceaing some personal defect Mr.. Stan
ley supposes that the Russian women had fear
Of disgusting others, but no real modesty. Mod
esty he maintains, is feeling of dislike to dis
play Of any kind. a delicacy and refinement. a
mode of self -raspcct The blush of modesty is
the converse of the pallor of fear. Acts Of mod
esty may have begun in fear of disgusting
others. but modesty is, he maintains a later
evolution, and is destined to higher develop
