Governor Cox has challenged Mr..
Taft to prove his fidelity to the
league by intervening in the Repub-

candidates hostile to the league. IL
the Republican party situation this
year were normal this move by Gov
ernor Cox might be described as a
clever device to bring out the sharp
division on fundamental issues be-
tween Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Harding.
But Mr.. Taft has admitted that he is
in ditficult position. He has very
plainly stated his profound disap-
pOintment with the Harding attitude
on the league. He can take Cover
nor Cox at his word. work for the
nomination OF Republican friends OF
the league to the senate, and be no
more irregularly Republican than he
has declared himself to be. Such ac-

the kind OF pressure which he can in
all prOpriety bring to bear upon
Harding and which the latter so
badly needs If Mr.. Taft's hope of a
Harding change of heart is TO be re-

WHAT THE GRAND JURY THINKS

Talk about removing the dan
gers of the death trap at Pleasant
Hill is nothing new. as was shown by
the articles reprinted Tuesday from
issues of The News nearly year
ago. In the issue Of The News of
Friday, October Z. 1919. in report
of the general sessions court. the fol-
lowing paragraph appeared as
part of the report of the grand jury:
I'VE call attention to the overhead
bridge near Pleasant Hill, as we re-
gard 1t very dangerous to the travel
ing public. We strongly recommend
that our county commissioners try
and secure right-Of-way on the
west side OF the railroad to the
crossing below. IL the commissions
ers ar, not able to secure said right
of-way, we insist that something be
done by the Southern Railway COM
pany for the safety Of the public. {"
What has the board of county
commissioners done toward carrying
out this recommendation of the
grand jury?

QUEER THINGS IN THE COURTS.

One of the most interesting things
"A newspaper man meets is the
courts. 1t is possibly fact that the
average newspaper man enjoys
covering the courts more than any
thing else he does in the routine of
his work But whether covering"
the courts or not newspaper stories
of the cases in court are interesting
not alone to newspaper men. but to
all people.
For instance. here is the case of S
Nj. and F.. NJ. Rogers and o. b. Wells.
of Columbia. who were convicted in
the federal court and sentenced to
the federal prison in Atlanta for a
year. They had served part of their
time and began thinking of par
don. They confded in peniten-
tiary official and stated their case.
1t looked to that official like they
had been Illegally sentenced and he
told them as much. They got busy
and the result was they were brought
back to Columbia under habeas cor
pus proceedings. the contention be-
ing that the minimum sentence to
the federal penitentiary is "a year
and a day" and by leaving off "and
day" the Judge who sentenced them
made the sentence illegal. Judge II.
A. NJ. Smith heard the case in Char
lesion the other day and filed a de-
cree that the men be taken back to
serve their time. holding that the
original sentence is lawful. Howev-
er, the case is still before the court
of appeals and will not be finally set
tied, perhaps. before it reaches the
United States supreme court.
1t would not seem to be quite the
proper thing Tor men VINO nave been
convicted of crime to escape pun
ishment by reason of the wording of
the sentence. and yet slip" on
the other side might he the means of
convicting or acquitting a defendant
in court.
A week or two ago court in the
western part of the state annulled a
marriage because the man had a iv-
ing wife at the time he contracted
marriage. Here is n case for the law
students or finished scholars to
explain. II the man had no legal
light to contract marriage. there was
no legal marriage. and how can the
court annul what does not exist?
