THE GRAND JURY's REPORT.

The grand jury's report to Judge
Butler Wednesday afternoon was
very conservative. It gave one the
impression of a fathers kindly advice
to an errlng child. holding the rod in
reserve for a future occasion, should
the error be persisted in. No doubt
the jury found incontroversaDia evi-
denee of irregularity at the the recent
city election, and, no doubt again,
the Jury knew or feS sure. that in
comparison with former elections in
the city, the late election was fairly
respectable. This latter fact prob
ably moved the jury to be content
with words of warning and with a
request upon the court to see that
future inquisitorial bodies do net fail
to follow mp the work done by this
body But one very important fact
ought not to be lost sight of in this
connection: that the decided improve
ment of our late election over pre-
vious elections was due in large
measure, If not wholly, to the activity
of the men who composed the Pure
Ballot League; and continued i'm
provement in that direction probably
will depend upon a continuation of
that activity.
The jury's reference 70 the
"Honky -Tonks" is timely also. These
are negro dance halls connected with
saloons where men and women hold
almost continuous carousaTs. These
establishments have been in opera
tion in Cairo a long time; and while
lately there have been no affrays al
any of them, they have been In years
past prolific cause Of disorder. III
grand iurys evidence with reference
TO these places probably was similar
TO that secured by the Pure Bale
Leagues secret service man, negro
who reported that ne saw things il
some of these places which for nasti
ness and holiness surpassei any
thing he had ever seen, though h
had been AROUND" a great deal II
other cities. There are -FOUR notorious
places of this sort in the city: one or
lower Commercial. une at Twelfti
and Commercial. one near Poplar and
Thirteenth streets. ard one on upper
Commercial avenue. Perhaps 1
would have been better if the jury
had returned true bits against the
owners of these places. Failure to dC
this is likely to be misconstrued by
some people.

A Passion for Old Hats.

The group of islands known as the
Nicobars, about one hundred and fifty
miles south of the Andamans, has
been but little explored, though the
manners and customs of the inhab-
itants offer very interesting peculiari
ties to the ethnologist. One OF the
most noticeable of these is the passion
for Old hats. Young and old. chief
and subject alike, endeavor 10 outvie
one another in the singularity of
shape no less than in the number OF
old hats they can acquire during their
lifetime. On a fine morning at the
Nicobars ii is no unusual thing TO see
the surface OF the ocean in the vi
entity of the islands dotted over with
canoes. in each of which the noble
savage. with nothing on but the con-
yentional slip OF cloth and a tall white
hat with a black band, may be watched
catching fish for his daily meal. Sec

An Absurd EXPRESSION,

Dr. W. ]. Garrett writes to the Lon
don Saturday Review protesting
against the phrase by the skin OF my
teeth, as recently used by a we'll
known court official in one of his pub
lie addresses. DR. Garnett points out
that these words so generally used
are not only a misqnotation, bat a per
version of the meaning conveyed in
the poem by the true text. Reference
TO the Book of Job, 1920, will show
the protagonst as made to say, not.
I am escaped by the skin of my teeth,
but with the skin, meaning, not I
have escaped with great difficulty but
destitute OF everything | possessed.
just as the teeth are destitute of
skin" DR.. Garnett concludes: The
latter is appropriate and forcible. the
former an absurd metaphor, and it is
