Certain ORenses.

Numerous offenses against the

the Fourth, for which there Is d
penalty, though it may. not be suffice
lent in degree to deservedly cover
the ofrenses committed.
There is a plain ordinance in the
city code prohibiting the discharge
of fre-crackers and the like, except
conditionally. This ordinance is

and reads as follows:
at shall be unlawful for any per-
son to fire or discharge within the
corporation boundaries. any gun,
pistol, cannon. or fire arms or any
crackers, squibs, rockets or fire.

of the mayor"
This ordinance covers every sort
of violation along the line of fire.
works here July 4, and, as the con-
sent of the mayor was doubtless not
had either orally or in writing, it is
plain to see that all who engaged in
the discharge of crackers. cannons,
skyrockets and the like, openly vio-
lated the law.
The danger to life and property in
doing CHS certainly ought to out
weigh the reckless thought that boys
must have their fun and the older
ones too must have little Fourth OF
July time.
The city laws do not stop at this,
however, for on page IS. section 43
of the city code, is found this or

known as fire-crackers. Chinese

articles of like nature; and any per-
son convicted of the same shall be

That is as plain as daylight and
there need be no misunderstanding
about it. Measures should be taken
to enforce it and none should vio-
late it upon advice from lawyers or
others that it will not hold water.

Jadge Dayton,s TIIbute.

The following was expressed by
Judge Dayton in the United States
court at Philippi last Tuesday In an
nouncing the resignation of Colonel
Jasper Y Moore as district clerk of
his court, and the same was ordered
by Judge Dayton to be spread upon
the records of the court:
Tuesday, July 2. 1907. This court
sat, pursuant to its adjournment of
June Sth. Present, teh same Judge.
After the formal opening the court
made the following announcement:
with deep regret am called up
on to announce to the bar and pub
lie that Jasper Y. Moore, clerk OF
this. the district court of this dis
trict, has rendered to me his resig-
nation as such clerk.
Il have urged him in strongest
terms to withdraw, and not to insist
upon, this resignation, but the con-
dition of his health, and the earnest
desire to settle and determine his
affairs, has constrained him to in
sist upon its acceptance, therefore
leaving me no alternative but to COM
ply with his wishes. In doing so ]
cannot refrain from paying a word
of tribute to his long, faithful and
efficient service in this capacity. For
more than forty-six years he has per-
formed his duty in this Office. to his
country and State, SO faithfully, so
ably, that do not believe his record
as clerk is excelled, If equalled, in
the history of the federal courts.
The records of this court, to the ex-
tent of thousands of pages, will re-
main to us in his handwriting, I'M
marred by single blot or blemish.
This labor has been his life-work
and his pride.
His pure, upright life, his uni
form courtesy, his kindly heart, have
endeared him to bench and bar and
to all litigants who have in these
years had to do with this court, and
/ am sure all these now living will
deeply regret with us that he has felt
constrained to sever these relations
/ desire personally to express to him
the strong affection 1 bear him and
the debt of gratitude I owe him. II
these first years of my administers
ton of judicial Office, when, neces
sarily, my knowledge of the forms
and practice was limited, he has
been very well of knowledge tc
draw from and tower of strength
to lean upon.
I'm most reluctantly accepting his
resignation. l do so with earnest
hope, that, Notwithstanding hi:
present sickness. he may be restored
to health and to many years of life
and happiness.

Enlargement of the Law.

Several of those against whom AS

tanned warrants. charging them with
operating certain kinds of business
without State license claim in ex-
cuse that they had their applications
fled for license and that the proper
authorities had not acted on them.
They assert that@they meant not to
evade the law but to pay the license.
The excuse generates them in a
large measure. But there are so
many who are doing business with
out first obtaining the State license
that the tax commissioner deemed
it best to take definite action. so that
it might be impressed on all that
they must obtain State license at
once.

several days here looking after the

come under the purview of the State

real reason for postponing, however.

party in the next campaign should
be: ''Thou Shalt Not Steal" But.
there is not the slightest idea that
the Tammany organization will heed
such a principle, nor will it try to
keep the Democratic party from

falls with a dull thud.

BERESFO ORD TO QUIT

to First Lord.

Charles Beresford, commander OF the

ultimatum to First Lord OF the Admit
rally John Fisher, according TO high
authority. Admiral Sir Percy Scott must
retire. or he himself will resign
Sir John Fisher, it is said, has deter

Percy, so naval officers generally are
looking for the channel feet comman-
der's early retirement.
The matter viii probably not be per-
mitted to rest there, however. Sir John s

the navy has built up strong opposition

that Lord Charles will head the NAL

which never came 10 anything through

The trouble originated with Lord
Charles order summOning the cruiser
squadron under Sir Percy to quit gun
practice and Turkish up the ships for
the Kaiser's visit. Sir Percy's method
OF transmitting the order TO other ships
struck Lord Charles as ''hippant and in
subordinate" so he summoned the for
Iner aboard his flagship and publicly
censured him.
To make matters worse, there was an
ourburst OF popular sympathy for Sir
Percy, who is the peoples idol. and IL is
to this that Lord Charles demand for
the retirement IS supposed to be due.
