Without doubt Judge Prince's charge to tho grand Jury excited more comment and made a more profound impression than that of any judge de livered hero ?a years. No need for hurry being apparent, on account of tho aaiicltor'a absence, he took occa sion tb, towt* upon very nearly every subject in which the ?rand Jury baa Jurisdiction, and . ho flayed lawless- | ssss. Much of his speech was epigram matic. In the beginning ho charged j tho grand jury with responsibility for I existing conditions, good or bad, as j regards official affairs of the bounty.

Judge Prince said: "The supervisor should be the] beat buslnooa man In the county; the other clerical work that he does for tho bslnesa management'of the en-? tiro county.

"At tko ago ot adolescence the girl and boy both need the force, discipline, viewpoint and personal touch of a great maa teacher But we pay so little for tho service practically no men will teach for the salary. "Lots ot people think their boy too good and puro and angelle to do wrong In school," ho said, in declaring for rigid control of pupils by teachers. "But I was not .when a school boy; you wore not; and If your boy has no mischief about him, he ia a siosy, abd a Blssy ia no good" 8'irf ?.'.;?. miscegenation Is being practiced . * *IM get a chance to pass . sentence upon Buch, I will convinco the man that lt will be far cheaper to have a'decent wife and rear an honorable family."
