OF wal fights its battles. 1t is he who
stands with drawn sword at guard
over the ark of the covenant of Ameri-
can ideals, and to him we must look
for the realization of our fondest
dream of moral opulence and material
greatness. We need more help from
n a class of ~people-the wine of pa
triotism-the ozone of whose honest
ballots will purify the political atmos-
phere and provide a tonic which the
State needs to make it strong and
great.
There is another matter of moment
which I wish to dis.uss briefly. The
most important function in the econ
omy Of this commonwealth is the judi
ciary. The por and influence of the
judge touches and affects every phase
of human society. No law Upon the
statute books is worth the paper it
is written upon until it is pronounced
the law by the courts. 1t is within
h power and grasp of the judge to
undermine the very foundation of the
constitution III to work a change in
our system of government by construo-
tion-to save man from himself-to
a v families-to make people happy,

makers, the governor and civil officers
in the State combined. The character
of the man who is to perform the du-
ties of circuit judge, is of more impor-
lance to the people of that district
h a the president of these United
States, or the governor of the State.
And the character. moral and mental
qualities of the supreme judge is of
more Importance still, since his power
is ultimate. The judge, therefore,
should be a man of unquestioned prob
ity, of high moral character; he
should be learned in the law; he
should be honest and independent. To
the loftier ideals of righteousness and
justice he should at all times be true.
His only master should be truth, and
his only ambition should be to do
right. If a sense of personal obliga-
ton or an emotion of gratitude for the
place and it's emoluments are to have
any weight in shaping his conduct
while on or off the bench. during his
tenure of Office, that obligation should
be to the people, to whom the Office be-
longs. The governor who appoints

An English Ghost story.

A remarkable ghost story is told in
the parish of Burton Agnes, England.
There years ago lived three sisters OF
the name of Boynton. The youngest
of the three eXacted the promise from
the others that on her death her head
should be placed on table in the ball.
She met with an accident shortly after
which resulted in her death. Her sis
ters neglected their promise to her,
and she was buried, head and all. But
on the night after the burial the hall
was thrown into terrible confusion, and
the dead lady appeared to her sisters
with her head under her arm. She
upbraided them with their neglected
promise and, placing the head on the
table, disappeared. In the morning
the head was still there, and on the
coffin being dug up the body was found
to be headless. ANY attempt to re-
move the head was followed by dis
turbances during the night. 1t was
even buried at distance from the
house, but was restored by the ghost
Eventually the head disappeared, but

SICK JUROR STOPS

Both Sides Are Getting Their
Evidence In Shape.
CASE CONTINUED TILL MONDAY

Were Quietly Spending the Thanks.
giving Holiday the Attorneys Were
Busy Hunting Testimony.

New York, Nov. 26.--After a respite
OF two days on account of the Thanks
| giving holiday, the trial of Nan Pat
| terson for the murder of Caesar Young
was continued today in the criminal
branch of the supreme court Although
the members of the jury and the de-
| fendant gave themselves over to com.
plete rest during the interval afford
ed by the recess, the attorneys in the
| case took advantage of the intermis-
sion in an entirely different way. All
their energies were exerted toward
bringing closer together the material
points upon which depends the success
Or failure of their case.
The illness of juror caused a sud.
den and unexpected adjournment in
the Patterson murder trial which was
to have been continued in the criminal
branch of the supreme court today af.
ter Thanksgiving holiday recess.
When everything was in readiness to
proceed it was announced that Juror
Edward Dressler was too i'll to leave
his home. There remained no alter.
native but to suspend the trial for the
time being, and an adjournment was
ordered by Justice Davis.
Probably never before in the history
OF murder trial in this city was there
organized by the district attorneys of
New York what might well be called
flying squadron Of detectives. AS.
sfstant District Attorney Rand has en-.
listed in his service county detectives,
who are stationed at the entrance of
the court room for no other purpose
than to accept at a moments notice
an order to sally from the building
and investigate the character and
standing of new witness for the de.
fense.
All Of the testimony thus far pro-
duced has been leading up to what the
prosecution declares was the motive
for the crime and with the beginning
Of today's session it Is expected that
Assistant District Attorney Rand will
begin to unfold the crucially important
feature of his case.
