THE GRAND JURY SHOULD INVES
TIGATE

So many rumors have been current
here as to the prevalence of violations
of the prohibition law and as regard,
gambling that the grand jury should
not fail to go to the bottom of the mat
ter and to investigate these reports
thoroughly
Sumter county should be law
abiding community. 1t is the duty OF
the grand jury to indict all violators
of the law. fragrant violations of the
law, such as are reported, serve if they
go unchecked, to bring the entire ma
chinery of the judicial system into III
repute. Such conditions should net
be permitted
In the charge that was given them
by the judge of the Superior Court the
grand jurors had impressed upon them
the solemn obligation that they TOOK
as grand jurors with regard to tn
preservation of respect for law and
order Can they afford to disregard
the obligations and to fail to investi-
gate conditions which are spoken of So
generally as being fragrant and repre-
hensfble? We do not believe they will.
1t has been claimed that members o.
the police force can give vital Informs
ton with regard to these violations.
Will the grand jury secure the pres
ence of these men and require them to
tell who the guilty parties are? When
it comes to the specific charges against
individuals, that is one of the most
vital duties of the grand jury. 1t is
well enough for them to make general
but if they make
specific indictments, supported by
facts, then a definite end has been
served in checking violations of the
law. 1t would seem that there is a.
great duty for the grand jury to per-
form. What will the grand jury do in
the prosecution OF these matters? The
people want protection and should
have it. The grand jury alone can
indict these violators and have them
arraigned before the bar of justice.

CAPTURE OF "MOONSHINE KINGr
Last of MissOuri's Illicit DistiIIerS
Frightened at Sight of Train

Springfield, Mo, May 2S.-As a re-
suit of the first raid on OZARK moon,
sinners in fifteen years, George Con-
nor, alleged to be king of the Illicit
whisky business in Oregon and Ripley
counties, has been brought here by a
force of Federal revenue officials, led
by H. c. Miller, of Kansas City.
Jim O'ConnOr, George Baker, Bill
Anderson, John Davis and jim Dobbs
rough mountaineers and relatives Of
Conner, also were arrested, charged
with moonshining. The men We're
placed in jail after preliminary hear
ing
Conner, who is 60 years old, is sup
posed by Federal officers to have or.
gained moonshine into a profitable
business. He is said to have 80 en-
ployes and four stills. Raising corn to
supply Illicit distilleries furnishes en-
ployment to scores of families in that
section. The arrest of Conner and his
chief lieutenahts will strike fatal
blow to the last of illegal wlisky max
ing in Missouri Federal officers be-
lieye
The r.on we're su~p- ised at dawn
quickly handcuffed, and placed in a
lumber wagon, on which they were
taken AZ miles over rocky mountain
roads to Thayer, and thence by train
to Springfield
The men were frightend at the sight
of trains. Only one of them had ever
seen a locomotive, and the entire party
saw elevators, street cars, and modern
buildings for the first time. Warning
of the raid had been received by the
moonshiners, it is believed. Of four
stills seen by a Federal detective last
week three had been spirited away. The
remaining still was destroyed by the
officers
Thirty armed men had guarded the
place for days, and had the raid been
made in daylight a pitched battle
would have resulted.

TEA AND COFFEE FOR CHILDREN

A test on great scale of the effect
of tea and coffee on children is TO

VITAL WORTH OF RURAL SCHOOLS

1t is fortunate thing for the nation
that Secretary of Agriculture Houston
realizes the worth of the rural school
and that he will strive to vitalize the
rural school system in his work as
secretary of agriculture. In speaking
Of the problem of vitalizing of rural
environment 60 as to keep the children
of the farmer on the farm the Atlanta
Journal has the following editorial
comment:
The problem of keeping men on the
farm is largely one of providing for
rural district school advantages that
will compare favorably with those of
the city. Secretary of Agriculture
Houston well expressed this idea when
he said in a recent interview:
/ Take farmer with six small chill
dren, for whom he desires to provide
an education. They will be sent t.
the country school as long as some
one can be found to take charge of it
but at best the education receive
there is meager. If he would Civ,
them an education which will be Of
benefit to them. he must send the,r
away to some institution of learning
'eNtailing perhaps greater expense thar
can afford He must either mainta I
his farm at the expense of the educa
ton CT his children, or move to one o
the large cities. So education, amons
other things, is driving occupants @
farms to the cities"
There is no greater duty upon tht
L legislature of Georgia than that q
providing adequate means and fund!
for the upbuilding of our countr,
schools. The new education law en-
acted few years ago has done mucl
TO perfect this system and under the
able leadership of the State Superin
tendent of Education our teachers am
school officials are rendering ernes
and efficient service in rural district.
But there is much yet to be done il
order that the average country schoo
in Georgia may stand comparison with
the city school and thereby afford tbs
family on the farm the advantages t.
which # is entitled.
For one thing, the length of tn,
country school term should be extend,
cd and its course OF studies elevated
For another, more high schools that
will fit boys and girls for college G.

TARIFF BILL SENTIMENTAL
Measurs, Reckless of Reciprocity"
Must Be whipped Into Reason"
New York American !

(NeW York American.)
The tariff bill goes to the Senate
looking like an intoxicated orator with
mouth full of phrases about universal
love. 1t is a tariff bill windy with
academic doctrines and prodigal with a
charity that begins abroad 1t was
drawn with one eye on the textbooks of
Stuart Mill and Adam Smith and the
other upon the ferrule of the White
House.
What remains is for the Senate to
whip this thing into reason and sense
1t is foolish for man to buy things
he doesn't want. And it is foolish for
nation to trade where there is NJ
gain
A tariff bill should be drawn so as to
encourage trade where trade is prof.
table and to discourage trade where
trade is damaging There is neither
virtue nor wisdom in trading every
thing with everybody Free trade-as
a direct object of devotion-is no bet
ter than free love.
A proud nation like fair woman
should be discriminating about its
trade-as about everything else.
What we want of this tariff bill is
the opening up OF new trade relations
along the particular lines that will
help to make life more livable for the
people of the United States The tariff
bill as it stands is not at all particular
about the United States.
The House has sent to the Senate i
tariff bill that reads like missionary
document in the interest Of the UNI
known and the unborn. 1t takes care
of all that is irreve'ant and unrelated
to us. But it is reckless of reciprocity
And reciprocity-the law of give and
take-is the law of all real power and
progress. 1t is a law that will not
yield to legislatures, and Will not
submit to be detied.
The American people voted over
whe'mingly last fall in favor OF the
principle of protection. Congress has
no mandate to tear down the walls OF
trade discrimination. 1t has no call tC
food the country with bad bargains
The American people believe in trad,
that strengthens the industrial organ
ization of the nation-not in trade thai
weakens that organization.
The point is that the free list Should
be free to nations that give us new
commercial freedom and expansion
and should not be free to nations that
don't
AS part of the same policy the peo-
pie look to the Senate to confirm and
establish the principle that America
ships are worth more to us than for
eign ships, and should have cores
bonding consideration at our custom
houses.
Goods brought to this country in
American ships should have the benefit
of a discriminating duty.
If existing trade conventions with
foreign countries stand in the way Of
this sensible arrangement, they should
be put out of the way.

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-The Dart mouth football team, hitherton re- garded fby many as the best eleven in the east, was beaten this afternoon Ky the Carlisle Indians. The score was B to 10, and the game was even more One-sided than the figures indi- cate for Carlisles points were all due to straight football. Dartmouth scored on a goal from field and a touchdown from forward pass. The pass was caught and carried over the goal line. The Indians made five touchdowns after battering the Oppo- sition line into helplessness. Most of their gains came from pIunges through guard and tackle.
