LITTLE DIFFERENCE
Between the Mother Who Plays Euchre and the Boy Who
 Plays Seven Up.

Circuit court convened at Ben tonville Monday, and Judge Till- mans charge to the grand jury IS said to have been clear and ex- plieit, and so plain that 1t could not be miseonstrued. The Rog- CTS Democrat furnishes the fol- lowing synopsis of his instruc- tionS:
 "A lottery is scheme for the distribution of prizes, and Section 1903 of kirby's Digest provides that if any person sells or other wise disposes of lottery ticket, gift, concert ticket, or like de- vice, is liable to indictment, and a fine of not less than $50.
 All games of chance are pro- hibited, and the law makes no distinction between the big gam bier and the small gambler; be- tween the plain gambler in poker circles, and the more polite gam bier in prize euchre circles. The only difference between the small boys who play seven up for a dollars and their mothers, who play progressive euchre for a cut glass vase worth S, IS differen- ce of S4 in the boys favor.
 Tt is violation of law to sell liquor by retail, or to solicit or ders for the sale of liquor in Ben- ton County. All alcoholic, malt fermented or medicated liquors, are among the prohibited bever- ages.
 .Indict the pistol carriers, and the pistol sellers, the perjurers, the slanderers, and all others who violate the criminal law.
 "Save the boys and girls of the country by enforcing the stat utes made for the protection of minors. The law hedges them about with all the protection 1t can give. It makes 1t dangerous to tempt them, and these laws will serve their purpose of mak- ing good men and good women of our boys and girls if the juries do thelr duty"

A Federal Function.

Even the request Of State Govern
ment' is not needed to authorize the
Federal Executive to take entire charge
Of quarantine arrangements.
By the law Of 1893 the Secretary Of the
Treasury is empowered to sweep away
all State and municipal quarantine sys-
TENS and methods IL the Supervising
Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital
Service deems them inadequate. The
Federal Government can replace all ex-
isting systems with new one Of its own.
It can require all State and municipal
health authorities to execute and enforce
the new Federal system, and il they
refuse or fail it can enforce it's quaran-
tine itself, not only as regards entries
at the ports, but also as between one
State and another State.
This tremendous power over quaran-
tine Is clearly granted by the law. There
may be question in some quarters Of the
constitutionality Of the law, but that is
not q question for the Executive while
the law stands.
In the nature Of things and for the
common welfare, what conceivable fuhc-
ton Of government is more properly q
Federal function than that OF quaran-
tine? .. s''-.- 49,
