GiggIed and Talked.

Three young girls and two men
were before Justice Martin Friday after
noon on a serious charge-that of dis
turbing those who had assembled in a
church to worship God. The girls, Nam
ME Smeltzer. Jennie Smeltzer and Mamie
Volgamont, appear to be between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-one. while
the men, James Tobin and William
Smetzer, are well advanced in years.
The disturbance took place in the little
Lutheran church five miles west OF town,
near the foot of the mountain. From the
evidence it appeared that the preacher
and those members of the church who
were serious in their religious worship,
have been annoyed for sometime past by
a number of giggling girls and laxative
men. who attended church, not for the
purpose of participating in the religious
services, but apparently for the purpose
of ENJOYING themselves in other diverse
WAYS. The witnesses testified that the
girls persistently giggled during prayer
and during services and that the men dis
turbed the services by loud talking and
the use OF profane language on the out
side of the building
The hearing OF the defendants was
very interesting being alternately inter-
rupted by crying and giggling on the part
of the girls. Two of the girls were reliev-
ed of the ordeal of going through trial
on account of their names having been
written wrong on the complaints At the
conclusion of the hearing the Justice dis
missed the prisoner ruling that the evil
dence was not sufficient to convict.
SHOOTING ACCIDENTAL.
Elmer Grove. the youth charged with
willfully and maiciously sho oting CLAIR
ence Seibert with shot gun, was given
a hearing before Justice Byers. Young
Grove said that the shooting was purely
accidental and that he had no idea of the
gun going off while he had it pointed at
the boy, having had it cooked for the pur-
pose OF shooting at crow, which was
soaring nearby. There was no evidence
that the shooting was done intentionally
and the Justice dismissed the youth, who
had learned severe lesson about the
handling of gun.

navy and governor of the Island of Guam
This ruler OF the least and loneiiest of our
new possessions Is a man who can provide
himself with amusement almost anywhere,
and at least once before, as is particularly
remembered by the German contingent
in Samoa, he attained no mean eminence
as an enllyener of insular society. In
Samoa, however. his powers were limited
and he had always before him the depress-
ing possibility of creating serious trouble
If he carried his jests as far as his incli-
nation suggested. Now his authority is
boundless, or IL it isn't. none of the Guam
ers know it, and to his hearts content he
can twist real life into the conditions and
situations of comic opera without any
danger of harmlng either himself or 9TH
ers much. 1t is to be hoped that the reti
nue. of this best-humored of despots in
cludes careful apd appreciative chroni-
cler, for incaleula.ble would be the loss to
the world If it were deprived OF an ade-
quate account of happenings in Guam un-
der the agile scepter of the unique Leary.
Unsatisfied with making on his arrival a
clean sweep of all existing institutions, the
captain has continued to heap revolution
on revolution with industrious persisteney,
and to insist that his subjects learn every
day new rules for the game he is playing
With them. For the social and economic
problems which the master minds of the
world nave alwas approached with eau
tious humility Captain Leary has an in
slant solution. Nobody is kept waiting in
Guams Real estate or religion, matrimo-
or the tariff, liquor licenses or divorce,
it's adj one to the captain. Whether his
people like his decisions or not does not
appear but they seem to be getting along
more than fairly well, and at all events
they are bounttfully provided with topics
OF conversation-no small boon in those

Senator Morgan on the Race Question.

Without any reference whatever to the
pending senatorial election, Senator Nor
gan's recent speech on the race question
should be read by all who desire to under
stand the suffrage problem In this section
of the country. especially in a legal sense.
The limitations of action are accurately
defined in it, The experienced lawyer of
breadth and vision is seen in every part of
1T. The Age-Herald ventures the opinion
that the speech will become standard
source of law upon the subject. for at
every point the great senator fortihes his
points with decisions of the supreme court
At the very outset he discusses the
grandfather propositions of Louisiana
and North Carolina. He clearly and plain
ly shows that the action of the states I'M

meats is political, and that congress alone
is competent to deal with any such action
'If," he says, congress refuses to act,
