A consideration of such and other
suggestions are not of great assist
ance in solving the problems pre-
scented; they tend, somewhat, to lead
into a maze of contradictions and
to confuse the mind, though, it must
be confessed, they incline to sup
port the defendants contention.
The case is peculiarly one for con-
struction of the provisions of the
charter according to the general
rules for the construction of
statutes.
1t should be borne in mind that
it is always the duty of the court,
in constructing statutes or provis
ions of city charter, to determine,
if possible, the true intention of the
lawmakers. 1t is a cardinal rule Of
construction that statutes or char
ter provisions must, if possible, be
construed so as to give effect to
the intention of the people at whose
instance they We're enacted. The
court must take into account the
purpose for which the law was en-
acted. 1t often happens that names
and terms are unskillfully employed
in writings and in drafts of laws

Sept. 81 After several postpone

Morrison and the Rev W. H.
Sheppard, on charges of libel, be-

The suit against the missionaries
is brought by one of the Kongo
concession companies having mo-
nopoly of rubber gathering in the
Kassai region. 1t claims $4,000
damages from each of the men for
"caluminous denunciation. " The
circumstances are such that the
suit is considered practically as
brought by the Belgian govern
ment against the missionaries.

A MISS AND A FIND.

It's the habit of the Rev. Jas
Spurgeon, grandfather OF the great
preacher Of the name, to pray each
evening unGcr a certain oak tree In
a secluded woot. in the Honeywood
park. One night he dreamed, the
story goes, that Satan appeared
and threatened to tear him to
pieces if he followed Lis accustom-
ed route to the tree. There was
another path by which lie might &c
in safety. Remembering his
dream, Spurgeon felt sor.ly tempt
ed the next night to take the route
in which Satan was not. But this
would be to capitulate. Trembling
in every limb, he made lis way by
the path in which the Ga "cr lay
He reached his goal in safety, and
in prayer and song returned thanks
for delivery from peri. When lis
prayer had ended, he rose to re-
turn. In his path lay a piece Of
solid gold "as large as a curtain
ring" All inquiry failing to dis
cover an owner, he retained it and
when he was married had his wife's
ring made from his curious find.

yIRGINIA'S OPPORTUNITY.

| lie ACKNOWLEDGEMENT tiibb lSN"ih
Hawley is at last in a position to
consummatc his ambitious plan of a
trunk line from Virginia tidewater
to the great lakes is news of large
import to the people of Virginia, be-
cause it means another step taken
toward making Hampton Roads
one of the greatest commercial bar
bors on the Atlantic coast. The
business OF Norfolk, Newport News
and Portsmouth is already Of large
proportions, but the possibilities of
this magnificent harbor, in which
there is room for all the navies of
the world to anchor, are just be-
ginning to be realized.
With its strategic position mid
tway the coast, with a hinterland OF
unexampled fertility and natural
resources, with the shortest haul
from the Ohio and Mississippi val
leys and the lakes, the future OF
Hampton Roads is brilliant with
promise, in the relation of which a
trunk line to Chicago will material
~ aid. The day may even come
when the shore of Hampton Roads
| will rival Boston, Philadelphia and
New York in density of p pulatlon
and amount of business transacted.
Norfolk and Newport News are
destined by the logic of geography
to become two of the most thriving
and important ports on the Allan
| tic seaboard.
In addition to becoming the ter
minus of great trunk line from
Chicago, Newport News, when the
Hawley plans are completed, will
be the Atlantic end Of a transconti-
mental system, which will link
Chesapeake Bay With t. 7. yific
at Portland, and the e i ii Cali
| fornia on the south. l'ians said to
be in contemplation by Hawley
would give him a transcontlnental
line about 500 miles shorter than
any other system that girds the
continent. This would place him
in such a commanding position, so
| far as rates are concerned, that
Hampton Roads void be assured
of its share of traffic for European
ports.
Mr.. Hawley's entrance into the
southern railroad field, is noted by

THE LESSON OF JOHNSON'S LIFE.

In the record OF TINS man VINO
had been, since 1904, q Democrat
ic Governor in an overwhelmingly
Republican State, there is material
for a fruitful study of politics, in
the higher meaning of that word.
Aspiring young men might we'll
give days and nights to bordering
on the extraordinary political sue
cess of John A. Johnson. Hisfam-
lily inheritance was so lowly, and,
on his fathers side, so nearly ap-
preached disgrace, that fatuous
Minnesota Republicans sought to
use the fact against him in his first
campaign. Later, they learned
better, and even looked about for
candidate of their own, OF whom
it might be said, as of Governor
Johnson, that he was man for a
that. Yet with every prospect in
life so adverse, and with but the
most meager public school educa-
tion--for as the pathetic record
reads, the "carc OF lis family de-
volved upon him at twelve"--this
son of immigrant Swe'CS rCsestead-
lily to occupy the first position not
only in the public service # his
State, but in the hearts Ct IS a.
low-citizens.
Not even the Roosevelt wave in
1904 could engulf him. \ inncso-
ia went madly for Roosevelt, but
in the same election it clunc Y'aunch-
ly to the man it had learns Glove
and trust. This is another paral-
lei between Governor Johnson and
that charmer away of the hearts Of
voters, Governor Russell Both
were repeatedly elected - :, Demo-
cratic Governor in Republican
State. They were as dit c!ont as
possible in every antec2Ccnt and
circumstance of life, but they were
alike in this, that they impressed
all beholders with their entire sim
certify, their perfect honesty, their
sound and s" Get manhood, and
their cor'rIta devotion to every
public d'Ay. Here is no road to
success CA as politicians describe
as necessary-no trucking to the
boss, no selling ones self to a ma
chine, none of those tricking
shortcuts and falIacious facilities"
Of which Burke spoke so contempt
uously. But the way of unswerv-
ing fidelity and useful service,
which the career of Governor
johnson has blazed for the young
men of the United States, is a
wholesome and timely reminder
that the path of duty may still be
the path of glory, even in the po-
litical world. - New York Evening

Mr.. Caller is employed at the Simplex
Railway Appliance company He is
married and resides in 15l Douglas
street. Mr.. Caller has been the recorder
of Garfield lodge No. SCI for a number
of years and is prominent in the chapter
and commandery.
Mr.. Callers announcement is anoth-
er evidence of the confidence becom-
ing so general that the republicans this
year will be successful and that Beck
er and Beckerism will soon be a thing
of the past.
Mr.. Caller is well qualified to fill the
office, and it is generally conceded
that he would be a good representative
in his ward. His announcement was
made last night after he had been i'm
portuned by many of his friends in his
ward to make the race. Mr. Caller has
advanced and progressive ideas.
Kepert to Make Race.
Mr.. A. E. Kepert is another Eighth
ward republican who announces his
candidacy today. Mr.. Kepert has been
in business in Hammond for a num-
Der of years and has made host of
friends among his neighbors and IN the
city at large
Mr.. Kepert is a public spirited bust
ness man, and it is believed that in
the event of his election the interests
of the citizens in his ward would be
carefully looked after.
It may be seen from glance that
the republican ticket is made up of pro-
gressives who believe that Hammond
should forge ahead and maintain it's
position as the premier city in the Cal
umet district.
Mr.. Kepert is a representative of this
progressive element in the German citi-
zenship OF Hammond, and like many
other Hammond citizens. looks with
disapproval upon the snail pace that is
being set by Becker and his ring OF city
officials.
