SUSPENDED 81 G0VbRN0R.
Sheriff Limehouse, Of Dorchester
Must Stand Trial.

On last Saturday Gov. Hayward Is.
sued the formal order suspsnding
Sheriff M. M. Limehouse, OF Do1caes-
ter on account Of his bsing indicted by
the Dorchester grand jury for nalfes'
sance in ofa1e IN thsu he allowed q
psrty Of about fifteen whito men to
take q negro named Will Spain from
him and lynch him.
The Govsrnor acted upon official no.
tiication presented TO him Saturday
oy Solicitor Hildebrsnd, who went to
ColumbIa with q certified copy OF the
presen:msnt OF the grand jury in the
case oil the Sheriff. The action Of the
jury meets the approval Of nearly al
;he people in the county, but there
IS much sym pathy for the sheriff.
By the operation OF the laW itself
shs coroner succeeds the shei f, un5il
the sheriff is acquitted and 1enstated,
OF convicted and removed when q new
sheriff will be appointed by the Gov.
srnor. The coronsr is PINK Kiser,
of the Indian Fields section Of Dor.
chester.
Sheriff Limehouse will be tried In
one Of the counties contigous to Dor
chester, the particular county to bs
namsa by the attorney General. MI
Limehouse is abe u. 60 years cid. he
served through the ~sr in Ham pton' S
Legion. It seems pathetic that ne
should now be charged wita coT&rdice,
by in plicstion.
Solicitor Hildeorand spoks ina very
sympathetic way about M. L:ae'
aouse: ''Mr. Lirashouse Is not In.
dic5e6 for coSsrdics, and do not be-
lie7e him lacking In personal couf'
ege," said the solicitor. "Rs simply
does not seem to understand the Gu
ties Of his ofdes. He has allowed e
aumbsr Of prisoners to escape, by tot
easy going. he is old snd i2ccnpe'

stories are favorably and some are OPP
posite. The jury weighs it all and re-
turns true bill or ignores the case.
Some of the jurors may take pleas
ure in relating the fact that they
compelled the Presidents son to tell
his story to them. And in the jury
room some have believed in his integ-
rity to such an extent that his testi-
mony was given greater weight than
others. The latter situation is natural.
The integrity of witnesses is consider
ed by jurors. But outside of these cir
cumstances that are liable to surround
the case, there was nothing attached
to it except the customs and laws OF
our republic. The man with position
and the man with wealth are consider.
ed on an equal footing with other citi.
zens, which shows that after all we
are not so far apart, by reason of this
government by and for the people.

ON EQUAL FOOTING.

Considerable has been made by the
Boston newspaper correspondents of
the fact that Theodore Roosevelt Jr.,
was summoned before the grand jury
to tell what he knew of on instance
of rowdiness of Harvard students on
the Boston Commons, in which an Of
ficer receiving trouncing.
All of it is interesting reading, of
course, and as such, finds proper place
in the newspapers, for with such a
man as President Roosevelt before the
people it is but human curiosity to de-
sire to know what kind of son he
has. Some of the illustrious men have
sons who utterly failed in command
ing the respect that was won by their
fathers.
However, there is another thing
illustrated in this instance. How COM
mon we all are anyhow. The grand
jury picked from the various walks
of life sits in the peoples court house
and commands people to appear be-
fore 1t and tell what they know of GER
tain cases. Perhaps just preceding
young Roosevelt in the grand jury
room was hobo or two who knew
something about a robbery, or who
were suspected of knowing something
about it.
All are thus brought to the same
footing, high and low alike, some by
reason of privilege and some by rea-
son of the power of the jury to compel,
go before their peers and tell what
they know of friends and foe. Some

LAWS OF FREE TRANSPORTATION

Keolsuk Gate City.-It appears that
the railroad managers are making a
conscientious study of the new inter
state commerce law, or rate law, as it
is commonly called, with a view to
careful observance of it's provisions.
B. c. Stubs, chairman Of the executive
officers committee, appointed about
two months ago by all the railways
west of Chicago, to study the doubtful
points in the new law and to secure the
advice of council regarding it, has com.
pleted report on passenger matters
for the transcontinental passenger as
sociation. This report outlines the posi-
ton the railroads contemplate taking
regarding the pass questions and all
questions of reduced passenger fares.
The report is summarized as follows:
Free transportation cannot be given
to land or immigrant agents, unless
they are employees in such sense that
the carriers legally could give them
transportation as pass or gratuity.
There Is no authority in law for
making lower rates for landseekers
and settlers than for other travellers.
The law recognizes that transporta-
ton cannot be issued in payment for
advertising. 1t is generally accepted
