AUGUSTA ALMOST NORMAL
Street CARS NOW RUNNING,
ENLISTED LIS men ON TRIAL
CITY STILL UNDER MARTIAL LAW
AND EVERY POINT is BEING
c WATCHED FOR OUTBREAK.

Augusta, Oct. S.-Augusta appears
almost normal this morning, with the
street cars running on the city di-
vision, and the railway company is
even now attempting to maintain a
regular schedule on the belt. Cars
will be running on all of the other
clly lines by this afternoon.
The proclamation of the shsriff OF
Richmond county and the mayor of
Augusta, issued yesterday morning,
to the effect that cars would be op-
Grated, and that if any one moiestrd
with them he would be arrested ard
turned over to the military lthori
ties, had wholesome effect, for there
as not been any disturbance.
The city is still under martial law
AID the first signs of serious out
break will be the signal for ad1itlcn-
al troops, both in and out of the
city, to be brought into service.
Strike breakers are being used u
9eerate the cars, but the railway
company is endeavoring to secure
lccal motormen and conductors.
The only troops here now are un-
der the command of Captains Hams,
who has forty men at the power
house. About one hundred prominent
citizens who were sworn in yester-
day as deputy sheriffs are still on the
job, and the city policemen are keep
ing close watch over the situation.

W.C,TU. EXPRESS THANKS
ON TEMPERANCE SERMON
EDITORIAL APPEARING IN NEWS
MEETS WITH THEIR
ENDORSEMENT.

Editor News: We, the ladies of the
Women's Christian Temperance I'm
ion, wish to express to you our hearty
approval of the reproduction OF The
Human Temperance Sermon" which
you complimented with your editorial
space in the issue of the 26th. Also
thank you for your very sensible en-
dorsement of same, all of which voice
the lsentiment We are striving so
earnestly to establish-that whisky is
a crying evil, unbalancing people in
every walk of life, and uniting them
for any occupation. We are highly
gratified to see The Constitution lead
ing off in such a fine editorial, and
hope it will be copied throughout the
state, for the strengthening OF the
morals of our citizens, most of whom
are wont to follow where the major
ity leads. We like to see blame placed
where it belongs, in no uncertain
terms, and this strong editorial, sus-
tanned with your endorsement, is def
mite in accusation and strong in de-
nunciation. ~
Please let us offer a remedy. Get
the evil out of the way. Pray. will
you not help us?
Respectfully,

The tinancier testified that he had
given Sl5O,000 to the republican cam

munleation with President Roosevelt,
! ana asserted that he knew of 10 coI-
terences among financial men in 1864
or in 1908 to agree on supporting re-
publican or democratic presidential
candidates.
He confirmed the testimony yester-
day of George r. Sheldon that he

added that he later gave $4,000 to
the so-called Hartman" funG of

country.

THE COURTS MUST DO IT,

The efforts to obtain relief from the
tediousness aud uncertainty of court
procedure, and TO advance court prac-
tice so that it will be short and de.
cislve, is well worthy of the highest
efforts OF American statesmanship.
President Taft has done noble work in
urging this reform in court practice
His urgency has resulted in the action
Of the q. s. Supreme Court by way of
complete revision Of the rules of
equity procedure, and the establish
ment Of new regulations whereby equity
procedure will be much speeded and
simplified- All of the Federal courts
will be bound by these new rules of
procedure in equity cases, much 10 the
advantage Of the litigants and much
to the credit Of the courts
But the Supreme Court has not acted
upon the reform Of law practice in the
Federal courts. Although il is pointed
ont that TO take such action would be
quite in accord with historic prccedents.
and since the common law procedure,
'4'N' 'Ht Bi'i'A A4't IN equity Slils, WAS
built up in the courts themselves and
the revolutionary simplifcation OF com.
mon law practice in the English courts
was effected b. the same authority
under the provisions Of the iudicature
act, courts IN this country have been
reluctant TO act: vet it is pointed out
that the conrt could advantageously
aud properly proceed with the simpl.
fcatiou and acceleration OF the law
practice, precisely as IL has done with
equity practice.
Efforts by the legislative arm Of the
government to reform the practice OF
the courts have not been a marked sue
cess; but where the courts themselves
adopt reforms in practice by way OF
speeding the findings Of judgments and
the conclusion Of cases, then the work

is done, and is done thoroughly where
the court itself does its proper part
Halfway measures, it is pointed out,
simply add further confusion to the
confusion that already exists The
courts alone are competent to reform
their practice and to reform that prac.
tice beyond all question. OF course,
although the courts may have difficulty
in understanding what the Legislature
means TO enact they have no difficulty
in understanding their own rules. and
in the application Of those rules there
Guilty. or undertaking technical twists,
whore the court has backbone.
IL is TO be hoped that the L <.
Supreme Court Will proceed with the
speeding OF law cases Just as it has
done with the speeding of equity cases;
and that as the inferior Federal courts
will be guided bv that procedure, so
the State courts may take up the ques
tion for themselves and adopt regula-
tions which will he as thorough as
those in the Federal courts; and where
the State courts are not able 10 reach
evils. ii might be permissible for them
to point ont to the Legislatures Of their
several States the things wherein they
need legislative help, aud thcreupon
that help should be accorded precisely
as asked by the courts. For, unqucs-
the great need of the country
is the simpliGcation aud speeding OF
court procedure so that the courts VIII
be made, indeed. the defenders of per-
'onal rights, with remedies short. sharp,
and decisive.

Correctly Interpreted, il means that those
