WILL troubles never come singly?
1t is now reported that the National
Coopers' Association have raised the
price of whisky barrels from $3.50
TO 81. That will doubtless result in
an addition of another gallon of
water at the bung-hole.

The Constitution In Justices Courts.

There is considerable comment
about the result of a jury trial where
in u Saloon-keepcr was prosecuted at
Aberdeen for the violation of the
Sunday law 1t seems the defendant
was acquitted because the jury con
>idrrcd the State law in that behalf
unconstitutional: that il is class leg
i>latiun III violation of personal
rights. 1t is claimed the jury had no
right to pass upon the constitutions
alitv of this law; that it was only re-
uuircd to pas, upon the facts pre-
scented for consideration.
English history tells us that Trial
by jury had Il long and arduous strug-
Gle for supremacy in the matter of
exercising the power to decide both
as to the law and the facts in crimi-
nal prosecutions. This postulate be-
came SO firmly imbcddcd in the Eng
lish Jurisprudence that it was trans
planted here, TO the United States,
in the colonial period of American
history, and has been maintained ever
since. OF course it is said while juricS
have the personal power to disregard
the law as given by the court, they
have no moral right to do SO. Why
is it more reprehensiblc for u jury to
declare a law invalid than for Fed
cral Judge, an Incorporation lawyer,
to declare railroad law void that
has been deliberately enacted by the
State Legislature, or to be operative
only as to local traffic rates within
boundaries of given State? Yet
this very thing has been done in sew
eral instances, until Gov. Glenn, of
North Carolina, entered 4 protest
against the exercise of any such
power. Railroads invoke the State
law of eminent domain in taking the
citizens property for corporate use,
have local police protection, enjoy
all the privileges and immunities of
the ordinary citizen, then why should
not the State have the privilege of
regulating these public agencies,
within its domains, without interfer-
ence of Federal authority?
Judge Cooley, in his early treatise
on Constitutional Limitations, says
that when law is unconstitutional
it is just as much the duty of jus
tice of the Peace to so declare it, as
it is the province of the higher courts
to thus decide. If the Justice Court
has this right, why should not jury
called therein exercise the same pre-
rogative? The jury is substituted
for the Justice, who has not even
the right to charge the jury as to the
propositions of law involved. Law
at best is only great guess-one
court guesses one way and another
another. Why restrict jurors from
guessing, especially when we hear
eminent lawyers say all citizens
should enjoy the same privileges and
immmities. If guessing ism a priv
ilege, what is it?

STOLEN HoNORs BRING No LASTING

instituted compelling the company to
make that city its western terminus,

Clifford, who had the case under adj

in favor of the road, from which an

THE SANE CONDITIONS PREvAIL.-
In keeping with the spirit of the
times, the bids for State work on
public buildings, authorized by law
submitted to the Board of Control,
have all been in excess of apprOpria
tions and far more than the most
liberal estimate on which they were
based AS there is no justification
for creating a debt, the public SER
vice will probably have to wait until
industrial conditions assume their
normal state or the Legislature

Some Views Of the People.

The articles that have appeared
recently in the columns of the STAND
ARD concerning the Sunday closing
movement have been the subject of
many comments among our citizens.
One party of pronounced religious
prOclivities, said he could not agree
with the position taken that the sa-
loon is the poor mans clubhouse,
but granting the assertion to be true
that it is 4 discredit to the common
wealth, and that it devolvcd upon
good citizens to provide a better one
for these unfortunate men when
they come to town, having no other
place to get under shelter out of the
rain. 1t is recognized that condi-
tons are different on this Sound
country from what they are in
States where there is more sunshine.
Another man remarked that the
profit system is the foundation of all
this unpleasantness; the saloons are
run for profit, just the same as Other
kinds of business; the adultcrated
foods in the market are just rs per-
niciouS rs the liquors dealt out over
the bar; i'll fact, poor and adulterated
foods create an appetite for drink
If you remove the cause you prevent
the effect striking at the latter
never cured any great wrong and
never will.
A third party was rather confident
of his position, stating that this
movement in the end will prove an
expensive fizzle; the county at the
close of the fifth act will hold the
empty sack. The religious and liquor
interests at the time of the next
campaign will declare truce, and
the political machine will make
strange bed-fellows. There will be
q united effort among the discordant
elements to reach the pelf counter
and the moral wave will have reced
ed.
Alas. that SO much labor should bt
lost with so little profit.

A SPIRITUAL TIP.-PrOf. Mason, a
noted spiritual medium in California
predicts that San Francisco will be
again, and this time entirely, de-
stroyed by earthquake in forty-tive
years; that it will have bad shakes
in seven and ten years, but they will
be nothing in comparison with the
upheaval foretold. 1t is well that
the inspired seer gives ample time
for fulfillment of this prophecy. 1t
will, at least, cultivate the virtue of
patience.

CANDY AND ALCOHOL ARE TIE
SAME.-Dr. Abbott, Chief of the
Philadelphia Board of Health, has
announced the astounding belief that
the appetites for candy and alcohol
are the same, and that a person who
is addicted to the one will not fall a
victim to the other, from the fact
that that special craving is already
supplied. He bases his belief on the
discovery that the only difference be-
tween alcohol and candy is in the
arrangement of the molecules, those
invisible products of matter which
compose them. So it follows that to
cure the drunkard it is only necessary
to change the arrangement of the
molecules" which start the brain
into ferment. and the opportunity
is presented in that quiet form of
candy, and to relieve the candy habit
his advice would be to use a moder-
ate amount of alcohol in some form
Or other, as for instance, a substitu-
ton of mint juleps for mint drops, or
of cocktails for caromels. 1t may be,
however, that science in its ever
marching progress, will, in the course
of time, discover some chemical COM
bination, or affinity, that may devel-
op or release the peculiar character
istics of the candy molecule to excite
all the hilarity which the alcohol
atom develops. If so, it will serve
largely to settle the question of Sun
day restriction, which surely would
not apply to the carrying in the vest
pocket of few lozenges that might
be obtained of well-cOnstructed
slOt-machine placed in any DOORWAY.

One DRUNKEN MAN KILLS ANOTH-
ER.-Ira Machlin, was shot by fell
low logger, Lon Smith, at Aberdeen,
Sunday night, and instantly killed,
during a drunken row that had lasted
several hours, over an old feud. All
the saloons had opened on the verdict
of the Justice-of-the-Peace jury de-
claring the Sunday law unconstitu-
tional. 1t is such acts, however,
when connected with the liquor traf-
fic, that has caused the passage of
the act to regulate, license and
control" Let the dealer do the re-
straining of such acts and there
would be no necessity for the law.
This tragedy has led to the declara-
ton from the Mayor that all saloons
shall be closed hereafter on Sundays.

NEW SEASON OPENED
Kenosha Life Saving Crew Must
cred Into Service at Mid
night Sunday Evening
CREW GOES BACK TO WORK

The Kenosha Life Saving Crew was
mustered into service for the new
season at midnight Sunday morning,
and the flag was raised over the sta
ton for the first time this year. The
ceremonies attending the annual
muster of the crew were in the hands
of Captain Cameron and his 1ieuten-
ant, John Mahaney, and the two men
started in on their thirtieth year as
members of the crew.
The members of the crew who had
been spending the winter in other
cities returned to the city on Sunday,
and most of them reported at the
Quarters Sunday afternoon The
quarters had all been cleaned out and
put in ship-shape for the new. season.
The new boat recently given ito the
station by the Inspector in charge of
the district has been set up, and the
men will have their first practice
within week.
There was little change in the crew
and but one new man was sworn in.
He was Henry Williams, of Kenosha,
and he is placed on the crew as sub
stitute in place Of Edward Nelson,
who has removed to East Chicago,
and who sent his resignation to Cap
tain Cameron several weeks ago. The
appointment of Williams by Captain
Cameron will undoubtedly be ap-
proved by the government officials
later.
The full list Of the crew for the new
year is as follows:
Captain B. G. Cameron, John Ma
haney, William Schmorrow, Louis
LeGlise, Thomas Shanahan, Bert Le-
Clair, John Anderson and Henry Will
liams. All of the men except Will
1iams have been members of the crew
for several seasons.
The work of patrolling the beach
was started at midnight last night
and for the next eight months four
miles of the beach will be patrolled
both night and day by the Kenosha
crew. It is thought possible that the
government will take some action in
regard TO new home for the Keno
sha crew before the end of the present
season.
