A BAD EXAMPLE.

TOT LONG since some very sincere men, IN one of whom minister of the gospel became dissatisfied with the slaughter of workingmen in Colorado. To voice a pro- test they put mourning bands on their arms and entered Mir. RockefelIeP's church, where they attempted to discuss their grievances with Mr. Rockefeller's pastor The result of their conduct was term in 1iaiI. These men were moved by desire to benefit other people. To further their desire, they broke the law It was a simple little law, and the fracture of it wasn't very important but they went to jail as warnG ing that those who break laws to do good must break them at peril of their personal liberty.
 When De Martino was killed MT. Hill, pres ident of the police board, used his authority as head of the police department to stop investiga- ton of the crime. The progress of justice was delayed for many months
 Mr. Hill now says he may have exercised bad Judgment but that he violated no law. He says he will not resign his post as head of the police
 Tn this he shows most regrettable fail Eure to appreciate the serious character of his conduct, the fundamental structure upon which civilization is based.
 The T. w. w. workers broke a small law, to help many MT, Hill forgot his duty as 6 ser want of the people to shield single Individual from the consequences of homicide
 There cannot possibly be, two, minds re- garding the relative seriousness of these wrongs.
 Mr Hili is entirely mistaken in assuming that his conduct was lawful. The law requires fidelity to the oath of office and his action con stituted serious breach of that fidelity.
 What conduct in 8 group of men is required to bring about the legal condition known as com pounding felony, or the other legal condition which is described as .being an accessory after the fact need not be discussed here, nor in con nection with this case.
 Suffice it to say that the I. w. w. and like lawless organizations are certain to grow in communities where the officers of the law are themselves laWless, and where such officers substitute their own will and pleasure for the ordered rule of the law.
 It cannot be healthy for Bridgeport or any other community that the idea should go abroad that humble citizen, a workingman, can be kill ed upon the public highway by the reckless driving of rich automobilists, that those who killed him can go joy riding on their way leav- ing their victim weltering in his blood that the tofficers of the law can know of the facts and conceal them, and that nobody shall be punish ed in anyway.
 The Farmer recognizes a certain element lof attenuation in Mir. Hills conduct It believes that upon reflection he will find it the nobler and the safer part to retire from the office of president of &he police commission, for he may be assured that there is abundant law in this state to bring about by compulsion that which he ought to bring about of his own free will and preference.
 If what Mir. Hill did was an error of judg- ment and no more, it was. such an error as must | it in his hands

TAX EQUALIZATION.

rh~HE BOARD of Equalization has added $l,-
 5OOOOO to the list of Bridgeport. The sum does not represent the amounts which would have to be added to make the city4s grand list equal to it's property That sum would reach many millions. It does represent the amount necessary to place Bridgeport on an equality with other cities and towns in the mat ter of paying the state tax.
 The incident is chiefly important 'as em- phasizing the over taxation of homes and lands, here to the benefit of more productive forms of property
 The state has equalized the tax as regards those who do not live in Bridgeport, but it is sadly unequal as between various groups of those who do live here.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Aside from the moral and legal questions involved the conduct of MT. Courtade, in nak- ing the Warrenite contract, was most discour- teous to the paving commission.
 The modern servant will of course get dis eontented if she. has to have the same food the family eat

..T.HE PRAYER FkoM THE HILLs


 There's nothing strange in the fact that MT. Mel1en and MT. Folk dis agreed as to the correctness of the biblical quotation used in the prayer from the hills, ,'. for which the New Haven road paid the author an honor arium of some $358.
 The St. James version of the scri D. lures bears out the author, just as did Folk, for it quotes the writer of the s121st psalm as singing:
 T will left up mine eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my 5he1p.''
 MT. MeI1en's revision would change 1'help" to strength but the amend ment is not authorized in ecclesias- ticaI circles; in fact, the Hebrew scholars tell that even the auth horized translators fell into a grievous error These latest of critics of the uassage now make it read:
 ssI will lift up mine eyes unto the hills. From whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. D
 That's different. The source of 'help' which MT. MelIen wanted to secure per the literary ability of one Sylvester Baxter-perhaps a distant relative of the author of Baxter s Saints Rest''-was more earthly than heavenly. In fact, it may be charac- terized as a legislative prayer.-The Newark News.

BIG STATE FAIR
OPENS At MACON
TWENTY-ONE COUNTIES ARE
MAKING EXHIBITS AND NO
COTTON is USED.

Macon. Nov. 3.-Georgia's big ten
day celebration Of her achievements
in agricultural and industrial lines
opened today
Through the medium of the Georgia
state fair, Georgia's farmers and
live stock men will exploit the re-
soorces of their soil and assist their
brothers in the agricultural regener-
alton of the state.
When the fair formally opened
this morning at 10 O'Clock there were
hundreds of exhibits grown this year
on Georgia soil that will put King
cotton to rout and will encourage di
vessification and live stock raising
next year.
Twenty-one progressive counties
OF the state have extensive exhibits
and cotton has no part IN them. Many
individual farmers have exhibits
showing what they accomplished on
single farms and the owners are on
hand to tell their farmer friends how
they declared their independence.
Exhibitors found the grounds JIM
better shape this year than ever be-
fore and visitors during the fair will
be pleased at the several handsome
new brick buildings erected during
the past summer,
Henry Brown, superintendent of
the grounds, has had crew of work
men putting the finishing touches on
them during the past few weeks and
everything is now shipshape.

DISCHARGES JURY
IN LAUMANN CASE
After Twenty-Five Hours Deliberaton
Ballot Remained the Same and
no Chance OF Agreement
Was Seen.
CONTESTANT FAVORED
Jurors stood to In Favor of c. j.
Laumann- Case Will be
Heard Over
Again.
CONTESTANT FAVORED

After learning from the foreman
of the jury that an agreement did not
seem POI sible, and after hearing per-
sonally from, each juror to the same
effect, Judge Hamilton this afternoon
at 2:20 o'clock discharged the jury In
the Laumann will contest case as be-
ing unable to agree. The ballot was
said to have stood to 5, from the
first ballot to the time the jury came
into court, a matter Of % hours in the
jury room.
Jurors divulged the fact after
they we're discharged that the vote
was favorable to c. j. Laumann, the
contestant Mr.. Laumann met the jur-
ors as they came out of the room,
and shook hands with them. 1t was
not until later that he learned that
| the ballot stood favorable to him.
When Judge Hamilton called the
men into the box shortly after two
O'Clock, he asked what the jury had to
report, The foreman declared that
there seemed no chance of agreement.
I Questions put by the court to other
members of the jury showed the same
sentiment. Judge Hamilton then an
nounced that the jury had not been
out as long as is generally the case,
!. and suggested that he would send
/ them back.
/ At this juncture one OF the jurors
told the court he didn't see how they
could possibly agree. The ballot had
remained the same. Judge Hamilton
then questioned each juror personally
and received the same answer, no
chance of agreement. After another
conference with tn attorneys for the
proponent and contestant, he dis
charged the jury.
1t was not question of law, but
question Of facts which caused the
| disagreement of the twelve men wht
heard the contest.
The court instructed the jurors t.
] report for further duty at 2 o'cloci
Monday afternoon.
