Charges Against Juror King.
The features in the casewere charges.
that have been preferred against Juror
Jasper King for attempting to hang
the jury. King lives ia this city and
was until two years ago deputy sher-
III Of the county and a man who has
been highly esteemed. County Attor-
ney Webster stated that he would
bring the charges against King TO the
courts attention today Those charges
are alleged to be that King over
week ago tried to influence jurors
against the death penalty. AS Judge
Osborne stated plainly that they were
not to consult amon, themselves con-
corning the case until it was finally
given to the jury, this is considered
perjury

not wear it about his head, and he
ought to be met at the state house

limb"
John r. Inglis. postmaster at Mil

School Board Resolutions.

At the meeting on Monday night the
school board passed a resolution to
the effect that children not having
previously attended school would not
be taken into the kindergarten depart
mcnt at any other time than the
opening of the fall term. Where
children are far enough advanced in
their studies to enter any class they
will be received at any time during
the year. The reason for this action
is that the primary teachers have
enough work to with the three grades
in their respective departments Pro
motions take place only once q year
lin Junel, so that children entering at
the opening of the spring term would
not gain IN time, as they would have
to join the classes entering at the
fall term. Furthermore, the entire
time of the teachers should be devoted
to the instruction of pupils regularly
enrolled in the three grades.

seem to have been acquired by n
somewhat analogous method. The
President does not finch from the
task in hand. He has schOoled HIM
self to do the days work as it comes.
He has acquired to marvellous de.
gree the power Of concentration and
the habit of deci-iveness. He ar
ranges his day well, is very absteni-
Gus in eating and drinking, does not
allow himself to be cheated out of Il
fair amountof exercise, does uot rely
in the least upon stimulents or to-
bacco, and, perhaps above all, never

All this tommy rot about the rates
Of interest is out of place. The law
has no more concern with the effect
of taxation OH tie rates of interest
than it has with the effect Of taxation
on the price ~ merchants goods or
the rents OF house and lands.
Then again we hear the talk about
the injustice Of q tax on enterprise.
This Is more tommy rot. Every tax.
no matter how small, Is a tax on en-
tcrprise, on industry. Taxes are a
patriotic sacrifice which every prop
erty owner makes for the we'll being
OF society. The rule of measurement
is Uaiue, and there the question, 50
far as the law Is concerned, should
end. Any other principle will pro-
duce favoritism, injustice and revol-
ution. Because some rich men evade
their taxes is no reason why the law
should favor them. The evenhand-
ed principle Of justice, when embod-
led in the law, righteous as it may
be, will not prevent selfish, unpatri-
Otto men from evading it. Was that
ever thought to be a good reason why
there should be no draft?
This line pf rpagouinp would 1vpr-
throw all law.
