CIRCUS IN COURT.
States Attorney and Respondent Scrap
ped Spectators AppIauded.

Rutland, Feb. 24.-While The specta.
tors applauded and the respondents
counsel urged on his client, the states
attorney Of Rutland county and the re-
spondent in the case of the state against
Dr. n. J. Delehanty struggled with their
whole strength for possession IS evi-
dence for several seconds before City
Judge Willis NJ. Ross, while the latter
remained mute and apparently helpless
in his office yesterday afternoon. 1t
was one of the spectacles which have
become more or less familiar to attend
ants at the city court for the last few
months and came as the states attor-
ney stated, @pretty near to contempt Of
court" The court apparently did not
consider it as such and the matter was
passed over without even rebuke for
the participants.
DR.. Delehanty was tried before City
Judge Ross at the latter's Office on
the charge Of violating the state laws
requiring physicians to report cases OF
communicable diseases The respondent
was found guilty and fined 10 and costs,
amounting In all to $23.33. lie took
an appeal and furnished bail in 500.
The respondent when called to the
stand said he thought the death Of the
child not due TO Group, but to heart
failure. lie did not consider Group as
diphtheria, but rather the opposite. His
professor had taught him that mem
braneous Group and catarrhal Group were
the same and not contagious, as diph-
theria, but rather the opposite.
The respondent started to read from
book but was stopped by States At
torney r. A. Lawrence, who grabbed hold
Of the book, demanding that he be
allowed to see IT, Delehanty's counsel
advised him TO hang on and he did
so, both pulled at it until it was torn.
The scene was finally stopped BY
the court.

to the effect that the opinion expressed
by German military authorities, based
on reports from the military experts
at the front, that the situation is By
no means hopeless, has greatly inHu-
enced the emperor and encouraged him
against the idea Of concluding peace.

WHOLESOME LAWS"

A candidate in Tennessee promised,
If elected. "tO enforce every whole
some law on the statute books" He
was elected. getting the support of
all the saloon and gambling element
and did not enforce any of the laws
aimed at them. Perhaps he did not
regard them as wholesome"
There are people who live in other
States than Tennessee who act upon
the same policy as the official in that
State. They find it pays better to
"stand in" with the so-called respec-
table law breakers than to enforce
plain laws against them. In North
Carolina they do not declare the laws
are not wholesome" They either af-
feet to be blind, deaf and dumb, and
say the laws are not violated, or de-
i clare that evidence cannot be obtained
to punish the violators. They are >ex-
ceedingly careful not to tire them
selves trying to get the evidence.
Governor Folk sets all public Off
cials a good example by enforcing the
laws and putting in force his declara-
ton that if the people do not want
the laws enforced they ought to be
repealed.

WANTED: \ FULL JURY BOX.

The publication of the fact that
there are only 1921 names on the jury
list in Wake county has created much
interest, and there is no doubt that the
number to be drawn, for the next two
years, will be increased in the sixth
of June.
The commissioners in every county
ought to give this matter their most
careful attention, for upon the sort of
jurors we have depends the execution
of justice. The commissioners should
carry out the statutory requirements.
We desire to call their attention to
the fact that not only should all men
who are qualified, and of good moral
character and of sufficient intelli-
gence, have their names in the jury
box, but it is also the duty of the
county commissioners to exclude all
who have not these requirements. II
doubtful as to the requirements it is
their duty TO summon witnesses, etc.
There must be a full jury list, but ii
should be composed of men of char
acter and intelligence.
