WE COMMEND THE JUDGE.

WE COMMEND THE JUDGE.
We heard Judge Young's in
structions to the grand jury on
reported sale of intoxicants in
Jacksonville precinct. We wish
to certify our approval Of his ex-
pressed determination that the law
must be respected-nOt simply be-
cause whiskey is the article sold,
or because whiskey, if drunk, pro.
duces drunkenness and crime, but
because the SELLING of wHISkEY in
that territory is against the law.
sets at defiance the authority of
the State. Read the article:
Circuit Court, Emphatic Words
to Grand Jury"
We have privately advised, and
now publicly advise, the law-ahid-
ing citizens of that precinct, who
know that whiskey is being sold,
to COME before the grand jury and
tell what you know and use your
influence to stop the traffic. If
you are opposed to the illegal and
demOraliZing business, go after
them like you mean business, and
do not let threats or acts of vio-
lence, killing of stock or burning
of property or anything deter you.
Stop it. The Judge has offered
you every assistance possible.
The grand jury cannot guess at
things. They must have testi-
mOny, reliable and truthful, back
ed up by a courage that leads to
loss of property, or life i necessary.
People, who know and can
assist the court. but refuse to act,
do not deserve much sympathy.
If the residents of that section or
any other precinct deliberately
take no interest in suppressing
lawlessness. they have no excuse
for lamenting the fact that life
and property are unsafe and that
immortality. drunkenness and rob
berry prevail.

SEWER SYSTEM.

The voters of our city will re-
member that at the November
election we are 70 vote on a propo-
sition to issue $4,000 bonds for a
system of sewers. There can be
no doubt about the benefits at
tending the construction and main
tenance of adequate sewerage.
We are informed by a,city offic-
ial that there are many complaints
about the offensiveness of defec-
tive sewers: something must be
done. Indications are that unless
these defects are remedied by the
construction of adequate sewers,
an order will be issued to many
property owners of our city to
disconnect the sewer pipes of their
residences and business houses
from the present dilaDidated and
insufficient public sewers, and will
also prevent the use of the city's
surface drainage for such purpos-
es. Such an order will necessitate
the digging of many cesspools in
various parts of the town, at a
heavy expense to property owners.

POLICEMEN.

1t is not possible for policemen
and officers of town or county or
a state or even in the United States
always to detect the perpetrators
of crime or the fellows that throw
rocks. After many YEARS OF OPP
portunity officers have not discOv-
cred the man who hit Billy Pat
terson." Why should the Gazette,
which goes to press on Wednesday
afternoon, say: Officers who dis
regard their good colored citlzens)
rights should be fired and men Sc
cured who will do their duty" in
speaking of an alleged rock throw
ing on Tuesday night. in which g
colored woman was hit. Officers
promptly responded to the call,
searched house where the hurl-
ers of rock were supposed to be,
reused from sleep two men who
declared they knew nothing of the
incident.
Policemen have an unsavOrv Job.
We appreciate their efforts to pre-
serve the peace and will give them
all assistance we can when they are
in the right. We are at liberty to
say. and do say, what we think
ought to be said, if they are dire
Iect. Throwing rocks may not be
so popular after this week.
If some unfortunate is touched
in Rat Alley; if some fellow lack
inc in discretion gets too much
booze: if some silly tries to take
the town with firearms and cuss
words, the policemen are expected
to solve the mystery. That is
proper. They go up against the
most dissolute and dangerous.
They themselves should be eau
tious. discreet and sober. They
have not the entire responsibility
for failure to suppress all evil.
The public has a duty to perform.

A handcar was rushed to Jack
son and DIR. A. NJ. Arnold, uncle
of the Hursts, went to the side of

greatest light harness meets in the
history of the country will be in

The horses entered are of a
much better class than usually and

The adjourned session OF court
met on Monday. Judge Young
was brief ID his instructions to
the grand jury. He said that
there was a report that whisky
was being sold at or near Jeffer-
sonville. He urged the jury to
THOROUGHLY investigate and to
report to him. If whisky is sold
they must so inform him in writ
ing, if not sold, they must like
wise inform him. He pledged all
the authority of the court and
county to have any or all the citi-
zens of Jacksonville community
summoned and brought to court
if need be, to testify. They must
know. Such sale is illegal and
must be stopped. See editorial.

ANOTHER PRESIDENT
breaches In TabernaCIe--PreSi-
dent Makes An Appeal For
Amity.

In the pulpit of the famous
Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake
City. Utah. where four years ago
Theodore Roosevelt, then Presi-
dent, preached a long sermon on
right living and the duties of good
citizenship, President Taft on Sun
day faced an audience which he
said inspired him to follow in the
footsteps of his predecessor.
Mr.. Taft did preach sermon.
The immense audience in the flag
draped edifce, the enthusiastic
cheering, inspired him, the Presi-
dent declared, with hi gher
thoughts of country and patriot
ism.
The Presidents sermon was an
appeal for amity between the peo-
pie for .attributing the best, rather
than the worst, motives to the ac-
ton of others when possible to do
so and not to harbor hatred or
animosity.
THE PRESIDENTS TEXT.
A soft answer turneth away
wrath, but grievous words stir up
anger" was the text. from Prov
cribs. The sermon was homeIy
utterance, largely made up of
relation of stories to give empha-
sis to the points.
From the tabernacle the Presi-
dent was driven to review about
twenty thousand school children.
At the Young Mems Christian
Association he made brief adj
dress to an audience Of men.
TRIBUTE TO ROOSEVELT.
My distinguished predecessor
under the inspiration of an audi
ence like this delivered an address
in the nature of a sermon upward
of two hours in length. He knew
how to appeal to the best that is
in man and woman and arouse
them to lift themselves to higher
standards and higher ideals.
But it has not been given to me
to exercise that great influence
which was his. And yet, | have
felt that on this Sunday morning
it was necessary for me to make
such effort as | could. | give you
the words from Proverbs: A
soft answer turneth away wrath,
but grievous words stir up anger"

We regret to lose Reys. Weber
and Oney from our county, but
welcome their successors.
Surprise and regret came to
many of our citizens when on Sun
day the report reached here that
Rev. j. l.. Weber. pastor of the
Methodist Church, had been trans
terred to the Tennessee Confer
ence and would take charge of the
First Methodist Church of jack
son. For over two years he has
been in our midst. So far as we
have heard he has been very pop
ular with and acceptable to all the
people, both in his own aud other
congregations. He is a man of
recognized ability as scholar,
speaker, teacher, and takes an
active interest in matters of public
welfare. Mrs. Weber is equally
prominent in affairs emcng the
women of the congregation and the
town. Personally we wish he had
here. Our best wishes
attend him and family We are
pleased to announce that he will
preach here next Sunday morning,
before departing for the Southland.
