Charleston's grand jury last week rejected indictments against sume 17 alleged violators of the law against Illegal,traffic is liquor. Tbl* is not the first time a Chareston grand Jury has thrown out cases of this na?ure presented to thean by the officers' charged with the enforcement of the ? laws. But tb? fast instance is differ ent from previous ones In that tho! foreman was frank enough to publicly | admit, and to the court, what tho out Side world has long known. In mak ing the report on the bills, the fore man ot the grand Jury stated that the Indictments had been rejected not be cause the jury bad failed to agree on the ' question of law or evidence," but | because of "prejudice against the dis pensary law.'- That's rather frank talk; but it 13, true. Moreover, it ?s tho reason why grand juries heretofore have thrown out Indictments of ihls character, though it was not publicly admitted. While the situation is deplorable, its ridiculousness arrests our attention more. The grar.u Jury refuses to turn In a true biW against an alleged vio lator of the law not because they could not agree on the question of law and evidence, but because they wero pre-1 Judlced against the law In question. But that is Charleston. The dispen sary law ls not the only one thus winked at. The law against gambling houses ia not enforced because Mar leston is prejudiced against the law that would put gambling dens out of business. The law against the protbo' ls not enforced because Charleston ls prejudiced against the law that forbids those resorts' that flourish within a half block of Charleston's principal I stroet and In tho heart of tho city. There are other laws on the statute books which are not enforced in Charleston, becauso Charleston ls prejudiced against those partlclar laws. A dangerous precedent, to say Me least In Charleston to be allowed to abrogate a law. placed on the statute books by the representatives of tho people of the, state merely because Charleston ls prejudiced against those laws? Doesn't Charleston by this act give evidence of her Inability to gov ern herself? ???? ? - Bot what ls to bs done about lt all? All that the officers of the law can do ls to bring the violators of the law before the court and present the grand Jory with tba evidence against them. They can not go further than that If tho grand Jury falls to indict, the work j of the officers ts undone; their hands j are tied. Wickedness can flourish rampant as ever. What, la the governor to do in a sit uation like this? He puts special offi cers there and he Instructs the regu lar county ofllcerB to apprehend vio lators of the laws. These o meero do their blddlrg, and then at the Anal "show-dova" their work ia undone and the evidence they gathered tossed back into their faces. If the governor can not have the law-breakers punished,) then what Ia he to do but adopt a prin ciple of preventing these law-break ers again throwing themselves liable to indictment by making it Impossible for them lo break the Jaws. Ia other v/ords, If taaj can* not lie punished after they have broken the laws, then steps will ha'-o to be taken to prevent the laws being broken. And that would mean police surveillance so rigid as to amount almost to a declaration of mar tial law. < Metropolitan, police were placed In Charleston once apon a time. It Charleston can not save herself, then she must be saved -from herself. A?fttt' THB?8T.

Ye; Compared with TRIAL BY NI (Chicago Tribune.) Former President Taft, among his suggestions to the New York constitu tional convention, included one against] "the practice of trial of cases by news papers," which he declared was one of the greatest evils wo have today. "This practice," he said, "creates an atmosphere which it is hard for the court and Jury to overcome. My suggestion would be that tty? consti tution modify the freedom of the press provision to the extent, at least, of au thorizing the legislature to pass laws to protect the administration of Jus tice against the abuse of the press." In the form hero such limitation of the freedom of utterance might itself be subject to abuse, but doubtless Mr., | Taft would favor the most cautious phraseology in ,any constitutional chango o feo delicate a nature. News papers which. oppose any restriction upon tho freedom of the press arc suspected of thinking less of the pub lic interest than of their town. Yeti PRESS CC CLASSICS FITTINGLY DOMICILED. | (New York Post.) Chicago hos been the butt many jests for its alleged materialistic ten dencies, and even its grcnt university has occasionally been accused of sa voring somewhat of tho stoctyards. Yet within thu last few months its Latin and Oreen department, together with the allied brandies of compara tive philology and history/et urt. have moved into a new and spacious build ing designed and erected purely tor Ulis specific work. It is thoroughly cfiuippod for every demand of classical teaching, provid ed with stock room for a special li brary of 220,000 volumes, o large, read ing room, rooms for thc Meh's and Wo men's Classical clubs, ara plo stero optlcon facilities, editorial offices for the Classical Journal and Classical Philology, offices for the various pro fessors, and other conveniences. The building waa erected, bo lt known, through the generosity of we widow of a Chicago business man in what one of '.he old? aaa, with all their cl?aai?aLj| ?? these atufldjfli' Tf?St?iStmH H*~ h it ts ? 1 PHILOSOPHY ?MTHE SHA OMB RILEY s;but really not; i weather twice as hot. then.marguing thus, through victorious ! while YOU dasp and pant jrsdf - anti cartr-- ^ and lemonade y in the shade, md ponder o'er 'es, with ninety more id so conc?d? is cool indeed! e son would poor ?ighty-f our-* ?at that seems to he i pleasantly ?t you might find vere you inclined, when none will heed led totlie need? s; but really not, r twice as hot! EWSPAPERS citizens will do well not to elvo too much waight to. this suspicion, for nowgpapera are highly competitive and a law restricting one would re strict its rivals. On the other hand, nowspaper men ' have given more thought to the nature and effects ot publicity than most laymen and are more genuinely aware of the neces sity of press freedom to political free dom and social progress. Their jealousy of restrictive laws is by no means merely self-interest, but ex presses a.civic consciousness.of the dangers of restrict ion. Vet conscientious newspaper men also realize the evils of irresponsible publicity and other perversions of the press' high responsibilities, and Mn Taft has hit upon ?a groas evil which newspaper men of thia typ#^d?pk>re. If the freedom of the press can be well to limit lt in this direction. Hut the scope of restriction should be most carefully safeguarded and not left to the hasty and often irrespon sible agency of legislatures. ?MMENT ?roll ss wc do that the war popped up BO suddenly that neither side had lair chance to advertise for bids for the" construction of modern military prisons with all up-to-date improve ments. .So the chancea aro that ne I th sr in England nor German la there a ?en In which any self-respecting pris sier can find decent accommodations. Moreover, there will be very little im provement ' in the situation. Bach government will be paying more at entlon to slaying the enemy than to wiving hita, lt ought to be a leeson or us, however. In time of peace let is prepare a perfectly wonderful mil tary prison, with disappearing beds, Hiffet kitchens, sunken baths, vacuum denners, sleeping porches, tango loora, cabarets, root gardens and ?rage. Then advertise lt well in the tnemy's country. The result will be that when we pull off the attaque irosque, the enemy will walk light up, lay down his arms and Inquire tho ?earest way to prison. Bob Always Unreasonable. (Edgeneld Advertiser.) Whenever individuals form them selves Into a mob to commit an act hat Is without the pale of 'aw, gen_ irally the operations of th.' mob ex tend beyond even what they them ie1ves at Drat Intended to accomplish. >ue man bent upon wrongdoing may ie reasoned with, iris purpose chang ed, but to reason with one or more mildred men who are determined ipon committing an unlawful act ts practically an Impossibility. The nomentay courage, resulting from he force of numbera, engenders a (plrit of defiance and a determination bat ls altogether heedless ot reason. Following the anti-German demon stration s in London, there broke oat i few days ago to. Moscow an anti-1 3erraan demonstration and street riot if a more serious nature. With their leinand, that German operatives be Hscharged from all milla, unheeded; ha Russians began to raid and loot lennan stores. Finally In their mad mah to destroy property, tbe mern lera of the mob did not confine their coting to atores of foreigners, but nany Russians themselves, being lotst Upon their own petard, had their il^ces robbed and demolished. , One of the worst features of mob -.?le and mob violence ls the demoral z?tton which tho members of . the nob themselves are bound to osperl ?ce. ead thus while incapable of es> ?Tciftlng sober thought and lodgment hey not Infrequently commit rash leeds that bring? ?hame upon tn ern te! vee and the community sad State if which they ark a part.

Lord Baye and Sele, who bas been ap pointed commandant of te Golder's Green volunteer train corps, is a very strong opponent of "Votes for Wo-j men," apropos of which fact he has told an amusing story: He once attended a book dinner, at which all the guests were expected to appear with an emblem denoting the title of a book. Lord Baye 'and Sele went in ordinary evening dress, but carried a lady's petticoat under his arm. No one could buess wat book he j represented, but when he told them, j every one was greatly amused. His lordship's emblem represented j Kipling's famous book "Life's Handi-1 cap." His lordship won the fir at prise?. False Pride. Charles W.* Morse, ?the noted finan cier, began life humbly and kates false. | pride. "False pride," Mr. Morse said at a dinner in New York in honor of his new steamship line to Bermuda, "he Bides being silly ls a very real Impedi ment to business success. "I'll never forget the wise advice I that an old employer of mine once j gave to a youth who had a good deal of false pride. "The youth was complaining about j the hard times, his enforced idleness , and so forth. My bid employer cut! him off gruffly with the words: " 'Well, George, If you can't obtain a position these days, why don't you look ap a Job?" Trae Heroism. He had been courting the girl for a long time. It happened on Sunday night after church. They were sitting on the sofa, and she looked with in effable tenderness into hia noble blue eyes. "Tom." she murmured, "didn't you , tell me cace you would be willing to do any act ot heroism for my sake?" ''Yes, Mary, and I would gjadly re iterate that statement no?,'! he replied. "No Roman of old, however, brave, waa ever fired with a loftier ambition, a braver resolution than I " "Well, Tom, 1 want you to do some- ] thing really heroic for me." "Speak, darling, what la it?" "Ask ma to be your wife. We've | been fooling long enough." OB His Serres. A seedy-looking man with a con- ! suming thirst found himself In that j embarrassing financial condition Which precluded- the possibility of the purchase of a drink. He cudgeled bia brain and finally bit on a ?cheme. Rushing into" a drug-store, he called out excitedly: "A lady Just fainted outside.

Not long ago the wind carried Into the Persian city of Kermauehah. a large quantity of what the people at first took to be seed corn.
