LARGE DOCKET FOR
JANUARY TERM Of
COUNTY CRIMINAL
SIXTY CASES ALREADY ENTER.
Ed AND MORE WILL BE
ADDED.
OPENS ON NEXT WEDNESDAY
Thirty-one Cases for Selling Liquor
Without license-Sixteen for Car
rying Weapons-Biggest Docket In
Several Years.

The county criminal court will con-
vene Wednesday, January 5, and the
largest docket in many years has al
ready been made out. The cases
which have already been entered on
the docket number 66 and include of.
lenses of varying degrees.
Thirty-one of the cases are for sell
ing liquor without licenses and six
teen are for carrying weapons. Two
cases are on the docket for larceny,
one for giving liquor to a minor, one
for taking automobile without own
er's consent, one for vagrancy and
one for selling property upon which
lien retained. The other cases are for
being drunk and disorderly, keeping
a disorderly house and gaming.
Other cases will probably be enter
ed on the docket before the court con-
venes. The last grand jury indicted
a large number and these cases will
be tried in the next term of the Grim
inal court. The last few sessions of
the court have been light in number
of cases tried, but the January term
is expected to be the largest in sew
eral years.
Nearly one-half of the cases which
have been entered on the docket are
for selling liquor without license and
carrying weapons is a close second
in numbers. No case of Importance
will be tried by the court 1t will
take several days for the court to
clear the docket
The heavy docket for minor offens-
es and especially for bootlegging Is
testimonial to the zeal and energy
displayed by recent grand juries. At
the last term of the circuit court the
grand jury returned indictments
against number of offenders long
suspected but against whom it had
been almost impossible to get evi
dence to warrant a true bill 1t is

of liquor in the county in the past
six months is now under indictment

WHAT is UGLlNESS?

Oh. NJ Luquienes in Yale Review
This question of ugliness is our
greatest difficulty in discussing Post
Impresionism. We may as we'll face
it Immediately. If beauty were only
defined we could get along better.
Certain qualities. such as honesty, CO.
ordination, balance, workmanship
which unerringly hits the mark aimed
at, may be recognized as essential to
great art. But beyond these beauty
Is so much a matter of opinion as
merely to follow a fashion. Through
the past century painter after painter
has seemed to both public and critic
the very embodiment Of ugliness.
Turner, .Millet, Manet, Monet-all
took their turn And thirty years ago
Cezanne first met the same charge.
If the pictures of Cezanne, or any
other innovator have enough of spir-
itual or sensuous content to hold
mans interest we may be sure we
shall end by calling them beautiful in
one or another of the many senses
that criticism is forced to give the
term. Those who understand Cezanne
find in him depth of insight, both
technical and spiritual, which they in
evitably call beauty.
