WAS KITTY MORGAN ON TWO JAGS
OR WAS IT THE SAME OLD DRUNK ?

Drunk with a continuando," mus
ed the court.
Exactly" said the lawyer. That
applies to trespass; why not to drink
ing?"
But the defendant appeared an
other separate and distinct time on
the street"
intoxicated after being fined two
weeks ago." retorted the attorney.
Gould she have been rearrested
then?"
Il hardly think So"
when did her new offense begin?"
the court was asked.
There is no evidence" said the
court evasively, that the defendant
has been continually intoxicated"
I'VE can produce it, yerroner, if
we are granted a continuance"
II am of the opinion that the new
offense was committed as soon as the
defendant, after having gone home,
went out on the street again."
Suppose that the defendants home
had been across the street; if she
had gone upstairs and come down
Immediately, would that have consti-
tuted a new offense? The court must
allow that it was the same condition,
induced by the same cause, no mat
ter where the place. And can the
court tell when the original cause
ended? The court may say that the
effect of intoxication does not last
beyond "a hours, but if sustained by
more liquor 1t does last much long
err; in fact, 1t may SO weaken the
system as to project the original
cause forward for months. insist,
yerroner. that my client be dis
charged"
1.-The court does not wish to vio-
late any of the constitutional guaran-
tees. Whether or not this case comes
within the purview nf the amendment
is question OF fact that would en-
tail much time, expense and worry,
and for small results. I will, there
fore. discharge the prisoner" said
the judge.
And the very interesting question
is still a puzzle.

SHORTAGE OF
THE TEACHERS

Assistant Superintendent of Schools
Mcfarland informs The Press that
there is a shortage of from Is to 20
teachers this fall, owing to the rigid
ity of the state examinations. Spo-
kane county has heretofore supplied
outside counties with teachers. This
year it will have only sufficient
number to supply the county.
The Spokane teachers institute for
Spokane county will be held October
81, presumably in the high school,
providing the repairs now being made
on the building are completed. Last
year there was an attendance of AGA
teachers, and the number this year
will reach near the 500 mark The
greater number of instructors from
other states are from Iowa, with Min
nesota second. These states turn out
No. 1 teachers. and there is a great
influx westward. owing to better SAL
aries offered than east.

JEWISH new YEAR

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The Jewish
people throughout the world begin
this evening the religious celebration
of the Jewish New Year, which oc-
ours tomorrow. 1t is a feast Of
marked significance in their religious
calendar and is strictly observed by
all the congregations. The year that
is ushered in is 5665. 1t is the new
year Of the Old Testament, and in
the Hebrew tongue is known as Rosh
Hashana. The new year Is an en-
bolismic perfect year of 1855 days.
while the year just closed consisted
of but 354 days.
In America, where the members of
the Jewish denomination are divided
into the orthodox and the reformed
congregations, there are some minor
differences in the manner Of cele-
brating the occasion. In all OF them
the ancient ceremony of blowing the
scofar or rams horn, is still used.
In the orthodox congregations, which
cling most tenaciously to the old
time ritual, one of the customs is for
the men to appear in the temples
wearing shrouds to typify the sig
nificance of the day as a reminder of
death.

ST. LOUIS, 40, Sept. S.-kitty
Morgan's propensity for the juice of
the vine has raised a perplexing
question for the legal profession of
st. Louis.
She had been arrested for being
drunk on the streets and it was not
her first nor her second. nor her
third offense; she was what the po-
lice court attaches termed an .'old
timer" Only two weeks before she
had stood before the judge and heard
a homily from the bench and the
imposing nominal fine. She had only
laughed and, paying her fine, set out
in her eddying course again. This
time. however, she not only exhibited
no traces of fear, but on the contra
ry an eagerness, a sort of keen ex-
pectancy in the outcome of the case.
Her lawyer, one of those non-con-
tributors to the profession's honor,
arose as the case was reached and,
approaching the court, said:
'Yerroner, i move you, sir, that
this case be stricken from the dock
ct"
"on what ground?" queried the
court.
Wen, yerroner, 1t was just two
weeks ago that the defendant was
fined i'm this court for the same Of
Tense with which she stands charg
ed"
THAT would SEEM" replied the
court. ito rather justify a severer
punishment this time"
"Yerroner don't understand" put
In the lawyer. Two weeks ago the
. defendant was found on the street
in an intoxicated condition and she
was duly found guilty and fined, as
the record will show. She went back
upon the street in an intoxicate ted
condition and has remained so ever
since. In other words. yerroner. it's
the same jag. The court is familiar
with the provisions of article of
the amendment to the constitution of
the United States, which declares
that no one shall be subject for the
same offense to be twice put In jeop-
ardy. ! ask the discharge of my
, client"

About fhe Crooked Deal.

LII Jul last ISSUE VIC pIlutcO al al
ticle from the Dodge City Demo
crat, stating that Meade county bal
lots and poll books had been sent
there after the election. The ex-
press company books here show that
ballots were expressed from here on
Nov, S and should have reached
the soldiers home the same day.
The following letter was received
by US from the commander of the
home, upon inquiry from US as to
whether ballots had been sent from
Meade county after the election, as
stated in the article from the Dodge
City Democrat:
Fort Dodge, Kans. 11-a8-1oo4.
John D. Wehrle,
Meade, Kansas,
Dear Sir:-Yours regarding bal
lots at hand. Yes your tickets were
brought here after election, but un-
der the ruling of the Supreme Court
l don't see how 1 could have had a
poll and vote for your county, as
our home took part in state and
county conventions as citizens of
Ford county.
Kindly yours,
S. H. THOMAS.
1t looks very strange that ballots
sent from here on the 5th would not
arrive at Fort Dodge until after cleo
ton, which was held on the 9Th of
November. Votes from the soldiers
home could only have affected one
Office in Meade county and that was
Treasurer. At the official count on
Friday, November, nth it was found
that Hamilton had one majority for
treasurer. County clerk, Wysong
said that certificates of electioa
could not be issued until returns
were in from the soldiers home.
Moses Black stated. that he had a
telegram from the commander of the
home saying that there were NO
votes there to send to Meade county.
Mr.. Wysong insisted however, on
waiting for returns any way. in face
of the fact that the commander said
there were none to send, and also
the Supreme court decision to the eff
feet that inmates of the home must
cast their votes in Ford county.
The above are the facts of the
case. We are not to say at this
time who is to blame for the ballots
arriving at the home after the cleo
ton as stated by the commander of
the home in his letter to us. We
are continuing the investigation in
the matter and hope to find who is
to blame for the rumors already in
circulation. If there was any crook
ed deal we want to know it and
whoever was to blame will certainly
get the benefit of it from us.
