JUDGE DANIEL PLEADS
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
SpaIding County Judge Says
Cost of Criminal Trials More
Than, of Panama Canal
(speciaI pispatch to The journal.

Especial Dispatch to The Journal
GRIFFIN, Ga, Aug. THE new
cour thouse for Spalding county was
opened for the first time yesterday for
the August term of superior court,
Judge Robert T. Daniel presiding. The
building is not quite completed. a few
finishing touches being yet needed, but
the contractors agreed to allow the
court to use it. 1t is undoubtedly the
most conveniently arranged court house
in the state and would be credit to
a much larger county than Spalding.
A splendid audience filled the audito-
rum at the opening Of the court, and
Judge Daniel delivered one of those
magnificent charges to the grand jury
which are making him so much repu-
tation.
The charge was an eloquent appeal
for the supremacy Of the law and for
the suppression of crime. He said: II
costs more a year to try the criminals
in the United States than it did to
build the Panama canal" He said
further that no law can be effectively
enforced without the support Of public
sentiment. and that the people must
stand for the right If they expected the
right to prevail
at is" he said. ""in the last analysis,
simply question Of whether the people
desired the enforcement of the law or
not. For whenever the people say, and
mean what they say, that the laws
shall be enforced, then jurors will in
dict, jurors will convict and judges will
punish to such an extent that crime
will practically cease. Whisky, pistols
and gambling cause 50 per cent of the
crime. Stop the sale of liquor the car
rying of pistols and gambling, and
crime will practically cease and the
people will be happy and prosperous.
The time of the court will be taken
up this week with civil cases, and the
criminal docket will not be reached
until Monday.

Collier strolled toward the call box
with him as meek as lamb. but after
the two had gotten within a stones
throw of the box. the negro stubbornly
stopped.
He was advised by the patrolman
against resisting, but paid no heed. Aft
er exhausting himself in trying to coax
the prisoner on, he began to drag him.
The black sprang on him with blow
and the fight began. In some manner,
the negro caught the left hand of the
cop in his mouth. He chewed away
while the officer hammered him with his
club.
In seeing that his club was not suf-
ficient to break the negroes hold on his
hand, he fired a shot into his left leg.
The bullet took effect below the knee,
breaking 1t in three places. The strug-
gle then ceased, with hundred or more
spectators present Both the officer and
his man were sent to the city hospital
for treatment While their injuries are

1t is an impudent proposition that these men put forth to deprive Taft of any fair chance for the electoral vote of California and to deprive the California Taft republicans of any chance at all to vote as such.

There have been many judges sit on the local bench. some regularly assigned to 1t. others simply sitting on 1t for short term. as has Judge Murane, but never in the history of this court has there been a more dig nified or able jurist in the chair than Cornelius b.

His manner of cleaning up the calendar Is worthy of the highest praise. and those who have come under his Jurisdict .an can feel certain that whether conN ieted or acquitted. whether the case in which they were interested went for oI against them. they had at the hands of this competent and sincere judge d fair and impartial trial.

VULGARITY AND REFINEMENT

The mollyeoddIes idea of vulgarity ity. X man might use some very forciDle language and with cuss words paint the atmosphere d color that would make The blue vault of heaven look weak and yet be refined In the best sense of the word. Unless he uses such language opposite new acquaintance in public or before ladies il hardly Is repulsiye unless to the ultra pious.
 What true refinement is composed of would be just as hard to describe as what real education is composed of. Some people think refinement Is the arectation of "parlor manners" Others think 1t Is the subdued quiet ness of physical weakness or effem- mary. In small towns these beliefs really urban" naturalness is perfec- ton.
 The great guide in matters of that kind Is the effect which different kinds of people have on your nerves. There are times when you are almost over whelmed by the desire to hit some neighbor with brick. He gets on your nerves although his conduct is the acme of politeness. Indeed he Is so nice that you hope to see him taken suddenly to another world heaven preferred as being most suita- ble-but taken anyhow.
 Alaskans are vigorous. but vigor and vulgarity are not synonymous terms by any means, and Alaskans are probably as truly refined as any people any place. unless they start assuming the canine-or. in vulgar words. putting on dog.
 Any man who is gifted with a sense of humor is always refined in the proper sense. He sees too much of the other kind and is too keen to be caught in the same pitfalls. The spur and he laughs although idle thoughts of murder enter his soul.
 Of course, he often makes a break thoughtlessly and moliycoddles point him out as a dreadful example. Bu, his breaks are the exceptions that prove the rule.
 He is not always most nice, but il he is wise he Is careful.

LET THERE BE NO PETITION.

Neither sound politics nor sound morals fortifies the proposition to put Taft electors on the ballot in Califor- nia by petition. Such a course. indeed. would only tend to recognize and legalize the job contemplated by the enemies of republicanism who now control the republican party organi- zation in this state. Between Septem- Der and November it is their intent to wreck and destroy that party or- ganization 10 their own political profit The essence of that job lies in their false claim that. for the purposes of the nominating convention and of the ballot. they are republicans.
 They design-and this much they cynically admit-to put up as republi- can candidates for presidential cleo tors men pledged to Roosevelt. They declare that the Chicago national con- vention which renominated Taft was not q republican convention. that there is no genuine national republi can nominee-and this in the face of the fact that they went to that con- vention and stayed in 1t for the pur- pose of getting a nomination for Roosevelt; in spite of the fact that .t was constituted just as every other republican convention has been for more than half century; in defiance of the fact that the republican party of every state. with the possible ex- ception of Kansas. recognizes Taft's title without question or doubt.
