A HuoE EARcE.

The discussion Of the Elwood trial
at this time is stale, flat and unproiita-
bic. In one Of the reports by a mem-
Der Of the committee named to pre-
pare a report TO bring the matter be-
fore the Presbytery. the author pre-
sumed to criticise the Delaware court
for delaying the trial OF White, thus
giving Mr.. Elwood some excuse FOR his
remarkable sermon. This comes from
a Maryland minister, and is not IN the
best Of taste. Presumably he win re-
sent any criticism OF his official con-
duct. and he should extend the same
courtesy to the Delaware judiciary.
But IL the court evinced q disincli-
nntion to give q speedy trial TO White
surely the Prosbytery has been re-
markably deliberate IN attending to the
case OF MIR. Elwood There is the trou-
BILE a vote Of censuro would have
little effect now. when after due time
for reflection had the Presbytery
shown by It's action that it repudiated
such utterances as were contained in
Mr. Elwood's remarkable sermon, the
moral effect would have been good.
Instead IL accepted a lame explanation
and applied liberal coat of white
wash. But the synod would not have
It so, and the Presbytery was ordered
TO do It's work over again.
Whatever st does now viii not inn
press the public. To censure Mr. 1l-
wood after one trial and a so-calleo
retractlon will be regarded by many
as persecution. by others It VIII be
considered belated and impotent ac-
ton. Meanwhile Mr.. Elwood is get
ting a wide advertisement, and will
soon have as much notoriety as Carrie
Nation or Elijah III. We are weary
OF the whole episode

EDITORIAL OPINION
Bio Feet Of Chicago Cops.

From the New York sun.
Mayor Harrison has delivered HIM
self of another characteristic inter-
view. placing the blame of the inehic-
lent police system of the city on the
fact that Chicago policemen have big
feet and bear down hard on the
ground" In walking.
why" said the mayor, "a police
man can leave the city Hall with orders
TO make an arrest In the neighborhood
OF Madison street and Ashland Boule-
ward, and by the time he has reached
La Sale street the disturbers OF the
peace have heard him coming"
Gamblers the mayor says. hear the
approach six blocks away. "Jiggers," ="
they say, "the cops are coming" They
don't know whether they are i'm plain
clothes or uniforms-and II doesn't
matter. They have heard the number
thirteen scraping on the sidewalk
"Why Is It," asked the mayor, "that
policemen all get their shoes off the
same last? And. why, IS it that they
an walk alike. Two cops can leave
the City Hall and for safety's sake
take opposite sides Of the street to do a
stealthy sneak on n gambling joint.
Does It help? Not a bit. Before they
have walked ten steps they are doing
the lock step, one on one side OF the
street and the other on the other. And
the noise they make can be heard six
blocks.

NEW JERSEY WILL TAX
PROPERTY NOW EXEMPT
Supreme Court Holds That
Many Exemptions Are
Unconstitutional

Trenton. N. J.. Nov. 10.-The New
Jersey supreme court has. rendered a
number. OF decisions, among which was
an important one bearing on the ques-
ton of taxation. The court held to be
unconstitutional the law under which
firemen are allowed exemption from
taxation on property to the value OK
$780, The court holds that the cosu-
tuition does not permit any tax eS-
empdons to persons, SO that the de-
cision applies equally to veterans OF
the civil war, their widows and mem
bers OF the national giard who were
allowed exemptions.
This decision will mean taxation
throughout the state Of s9,749OOO
worth Of property now exempt. The
court distinguishes in its decision be-
tween the exemption Of property such
as churches and the exemption OF in
dividuals. The exception Of P particu-
lar class OF property, the court holds
IS constitutional. but that il Is not con-
stltutional to exempt individuals where
tie state has no return 10 the property
they own.
The court scs aside tho action OF tho
Sussex county board or assessors IN
increasing the assessment Of the New
Jersey Zinc Company in that county
from Sl.l45.o00 to S5.si5Qo0.

Boys will be boys" and acting on
this theory a number Of students Of
the University of Maryland engaged
In a prank the other night which was
doubtless regarded as most hilarious,
They initiated two Of their friends
IN a secret order, and when IL was over
one Of them orawled to his room to
die and the other was found near
death and removed TO the hospital.
Oh. what fun they hadl Their train
ing had enabled them TO devise re-
nnements Of torture that recalled the
days OF the Inqulsition and which
would make n Zulu feel like an anna
teur. And all the time the laugh and
the Jest went round. In that they
showed their superior breeding. The
zulu never smiles while he is tortur-
ing his victim.
OF course the authorities will poke
their noses into the affair and have an
investigation. but It will blow over.
Had this death resulted from a fight
among negroes somebody would be
hanged. but students pranks" is a
term that covers a multitude OF sins.
The other night the students OF the
University Of Pennsylvania in a hilar-
ious mood took II into their heads to
hold up the electric cars on Woodland
avenue. They knocked one passenger
senseless, and he had TO be taken TO
the hospitals trafnc was blocked
for a half hour, and the government
mall car was delayed. Their punish
