| cult was himself incompetent 10 SIT
IN this case. any judge designated 10

eligible and, consequently, Judge
Shakelford's commission being q
continuation OF that of Judge West,
who was named to sit for Judge ~
ler Judge Shackelford himself was
present upon no legal warrant. Fur
tbermore, MIR. Cumming, reciting the
fact that objection had been made
to Judge West ON account OF the
proximity of his circuit To the terri
tory involved. and that Judge West.
while ruling that he was competent
10 set a date for hearing the case
upon its merits and did set April 10
as the date, had not ruled on the
question of his comprehensive com
mission OF Judge ShaCkelford setting
forth that Judge West is relieved OF
the duty because of press OF bust
ness in his own circuit--contended
that the question still remained TO be
decided, as Judge Shakelford was
named as substitute for Judge
West. Ii was further contended that
Judge West had no right to practi-
cally order the governor OF Virginia
to appoint a judge to act for him.
Therefore, Mr.. Cumming moved that
this proceeding. as to Elizabeth City
county, at least, be dismissed.
Common Sense is Common Law"
Mr. Massie said that this simply
was a dilitory motion; that counsel
for the counties objected 10 Judge
West on account OF the proximity
of his circuit, yet they now came into
court Directing to the judge appoint
ed to sit i'll the place of Judge West.
The common law, he said, gives the
governor authority TO name one judge
to act for another who is for any
reason disqualified to sit.
Can you quote the law on that
point?" asked Mr.. Cumming. ut is
common sense and common sense is
common law" was the reply.
rhe court, saying that he did not
consider that the history of the case
had any bearing upon his appoint
ment, overruled the motion.
Mr. Cumming noted an exception.
Motion to Dismiss and Demurrer.
Mr. Read moved to dismiss the
proceeding as to Warwick county and
demurred, on the ground that the or
6inance adopted by the council of the
city of Newport News faileu to set
forth under what provisions the city
proposes to take in this territory, how
the city proposes TO take care of the
territory and what improvements the
city proposes TO make in Ills terri
tory. He went on to say that this
was a vital point: that the county of
Warwick was given no assurance that
proper improvements would he made;
that he did not believe the city OF
Newport News was in position to
say what improvements it would
make in this section. and that il was
for this reason that its plans were
not set forth in the ordinance. The
law, said Mr.. Read, does not require
hat Improvements be made and.
therefore. the clause in the ordinance
saying that improvements shall a.
made as required by law is meaning
less.

Mr.. Massie replied, saying that
the ordinance did set forth that
proper improvements would be made
| in the territory proposed 10 be an
nexed; that the improvements would
be made with the revenues derived
| from this territory and expected there
| instead of somewhere else, as at
present.
Mrf Cumming said that the county
of Elizabeth City desired to join in
the demurrer and motion to dismiss.
No Petition Presented.
4 Judge Cristian spoke in support of
the motion and demurrer. He argued

the law in that no petition had been
presented TO the court, the city rely

I five percent of all the revenues now

for IL to carry on its government.
Judge Christian also contended thai
the city had failed to set out suf
lficient reason for an extension of the
limits Of the city of Newport News
The ordinance. he said. was mixed w
and conglOmerated. so that no one
could tell what proportion of the

BRYAN on Personal Liberty.

Speaking in Chicago, before
the Catholic Abstinence Union,
w. ]. Bryan outlined his posi-
ton ON the temperance question.
In answer to the opponents OF
local option, he attempted a de-
hnition of personal liberty. Per-
sonally favoring total abstinence,
as u public policy he declared
himself in favor of such restric-
ton of the use of liquor, as may
be necessary for the protection
of society. On this question he
believes that every political unit
has the right to act, save as re-
strained by larger unit, which
has, the right to control the
smaller in this issue because the
saloon is a nuisance, a menace,
and a demoralizing influence. Mr.
BRYAN favors federal action rec
ognizing the right OF the state
to control shipments of liquor
immediately upon their entrance
TO the state. He declared that
the interstate commerce clause of
the Constitution had been used
to nullify state laws on the
liquor question.

should have deliberately mini6ed
the population. But Terre Haute
which had 36.313 in 1000

HOME FOR GIRLS.
Inspector of Board of State Char
tiles Visits Salvation Army
Institution.

The emergency home for girls
conducted at South Bend, Ind,
by the Salvation army, is doing
4 good work along rescue lines,
according to Miss Ethel Clark,
Inspector of the board OF state
charities, who recently completed
her inspection. The home is
designated in army circles as the
maternity hospital and placing
agency of the Salvation army.
Miss Clark was we'll pleased
with the institution" said Capt.
Arthur Meaker of the Salvation
army. "She was also surprised to
learn that few people know what
is being done by the Salvation
lists. Many people have a vague
idea about it, and assume 1T to
be all right because influential
people indorse the work and con-
tribute to its support. If they
were called upon to tell the diff
ference between the Salvation
army and other kindred chart
table organizations, churches or
philanthropic societies in South
Bend, they could not
THE difference is that while
other societies or charity workers
take care of cases that are
brought to their notice in an ex-
cellent way, the Salvation army
workers look for trouble. Their
regulations call for three hours
visiting every day. In this way
they seek to save that which is
lost and overlooked. South Bend
has over fifty questionable re-
sorts. The lasses OF the army
work among the women and
girls frequenting these places, to
plead with them to forsake their
sinful ways. If they find girls
under legal age in these resorts
they take them out as guests OF
mercy. if they come willingly
and with the cooperation on the
Juvenile court il they do not.
The women work among We
men,"
