PEOPLE OF W ILLIAriST ON SHOULD DEMAND IT. About a year ago our town com missioner! passed au ordinance de claring it a nuisance for all cattle one year old or over to run at large in the town between the hours of eight o'clock at night aud seven o'clock in the morning, and mak ing it the duty of the town con stable to impound all cattle found running in the town during such hours, for which he shall receive from the owner of said cattle one dollar each and twenty-five cents per day for feed and all necessary expenses. For perhaps one or two weeks after the publication of this ordi nance you could hear the cattle owners speaking of shutting up their cattle at night. But after this tthey began to see that the "cow ordinance" was only a bluff, as some cattle had l>een running at large all the while, aud iu 110 in stance had the owner had to pay the penalty. Today we are In as bad. or worse fix in regard to.the cow question than we were when our sage commissioners saw the necessity for the making of the or dinance. On the night prior to the writing of this article, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, we took occasion to stop and count twenty five head of cattle, within the requisites of this ordinance, lying and standing In the crossing of Main aud Haugliton streets, at the Hassell House. An ordinance which is not en forced Is worse than no ordinance. We advocate an ordinance taking the cattle off the streets altogether, but if we cannot get that let's see that the one we have is enforced. Butwhosedutyis.it to see that the laws are enforced? In this par ticutar instance it is plainly set out that it is the duty of the constable. When he has failed to perform this duty, then it is up to the mayor to take the matter up with the com missioners. Then the commission ers must either ignore the law they have made or see that it is en forced. If these officials will not enforce this ordinance the people have a right to demand it done. The will of the majority of the people be obeyed Thomas Taggart never realized how Important he was until every body started demanding his resig nation. Tom Taggart doesn't really gamfife. He lets the suckers 011 the other side of the table do the gambling. Speaking of courts, the court of Publicity now seems likely to ac quit White and find Thaw guilty of an unprovoked act. Even if Pennsylvania employees cannot keep their stock, they re tained it long enough so that it will keep them. Secretary Taft iutimates that a would be better in some way if all the federal officers in North Caro lina, were filled by Democrats, aud newspapers that have been called upon to print the allegations aud * denials of the Rupublican faction leaders in the State will heartily agree with him. People who are talking about restricting wealth and keeping tho- who have an unlimited sup ply -oflt out ~df the u. S. Senate, should remember that oar benign and thoughtful constitution we cannot enact class regulation against the downtrodden million aire or any one else. . 1 | i> • • |fl|JL _ r ft". x LET MARTIN WAKE UF TO ITS IMPORTANCE In the discussion of campaign policies and officers there is one thing that should be giveu very se rious consideration. Kach town ship is required to elect three mag istrates for a term of two years. Bach town having one thousand and more inhabitants is entitled to an additional magistrate for each one thousand. At tbe elections here tofore held magistrates have been elected but some of them failed to qulify, consequently the couuty has been totatlly wanting in these officers, except where some who have desired such positions, aud were not chosen by the people, have applied to the Legislature aud Governor for appointment. This is not as it should be. By such procedure the office has been brought into disrepute and self re specting worthy meu have often hesitated to qualify for such of fices. For all matters of coutro versy growing out of contract re lations the justice of peace has jurisdiction up to S2OO. If the amount becomes $2Ol or more, it is taken to the Superior court, where the matter is determined by judge aud jury. The magistrate,! is then, judge of a court next toj the Superior court. How essen tial it ts then to have a justice of the peace of intelligence and abil ity to understand the laws, and with character and Courage suffici ent to execute his judgment. With such justices the litigants are satisfied when their rights haye | been passed upon, and the costs of I small matters does not exceed the amount involved. With weak men as justices it is only a formal step to a higher court. That is only a {tribute paid to weakness and prejudice. As a result people often suffer their rights to go unsettled rather than take chances with ap peals and ruinous costs. The criminal jurisdiction is sim ilar, and there have been cases whete j>eople have been prosecuted through the nialace of the justice and who determines liis judgment when the warrant is issued. The defendant, iu such cases, never has a hearing; he is denied his consti tutional right. This is a serious subject and we hope it will receive the proper con sideratiou. Now, what is the remedy? We are not inclined to dispose of the matter with saying I that a change is necessary, but we are going to offer this suggestion: Thar at the primaries, and before, inquiries be made of the best cit izetis as to whether they will quali fy and serve before they are nouit- j natcd. Aftet the man has been decided upon, make him say he will serve or your time is wasted i aud you are liable to have a mail as justice of the peace that you | wouldn't vote for. A sweet breath adds to the joys [of a kiss. You wouldn't want to kiss your wife, mother or sweet heart with a bad breath. You can't have a sweet breath without a healthy stomach. You can't have a healthy stomach without perfect digestion. There is only one rem edy that digests w hat you eat and makes the breath as sweet as a rose—and that remedy is KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA. It is a relief' for sour stomach, palpitation of the heart, and other ailments aris ing from disorder of the stomach and digestion. Take a little Kodol after your meals and see what it will do for you. Sold by S. R.
