A man cannot get drunk, commit murder, and only get punished for getting drunk. This is the decision of the Supreme court of Kansas in the case of J. H. Marlborough, who shot L. D. Collier, the son of Rev. Dr. Rob- ert Laird Collier, in the railroad yards at Emporia, Kan. Marlborough WE tried and convicted of murder in ths first degree, in the District court. A motion for nsw trial was overruled and the case was appealed to the Supreme court, the claim for reversal of She decision being the lack of premedita- tien on the part of the murderer, by reason of his intoxicated condition. In rendering his decision affirming the judgment of the lower court, the chief justice said that Yar- borough tsvoluntarily stripped himself of all those balancing instincts by which even the worst of us continues to walk with some de- gree of steadiness among temptations, and in his case to be tempted, however slightly, was to falln

THE WAY 1T WORKS.

In addition to the new elements
introduced into politics in Kansas, there
has been change in the plans of run
ming campaign, which, it must be
admitted, are an Improvement over the
old style of bottle and plug of to-
baCco.
1t is recorded that in several instan-
ces a kiss from the lips of blooming
damsel has outweighed all the argu-
ments and sophistry of the old poll
ticians III the matter of obtaining the
votes of the ver,lant youth, and it is
whispered that the kisses were not
confined in all cases to the youths, but
that men who have wives and children
can be changed little easier than the
young man who is an adept in the ART
of stealing this commodity from the fair
sex when suitable occasions arise.
The introduction of milk, coffee and
pins into the campaign stores has been
marked with wonderful results in the
way of catching votes, for the average
tramp will swear that he was born in
any town tor the purpose OF obtain
ing one of those good Kansas pies, to
be washed down by a cup of coffee
that would take the palm from the
famed nectar of the gods.
In some instances the men Of Kansas
are well satisfied with the new state ol
affairs, for now their wives do moi
inquire so closely into their comings
and gOings. In one instance al
Atchison man says that his wife is now
away from home so much that he il
compelled to make engagements with
her Just as he did before he was mar.
ried whenever he wanted to go to q
party or to the theatre.

FORTIFIOATIONS AT ALSAOE-L0R-

Work on the Notifications is being
actively pushed forward IN Alsace-
Lorraine. The strengthening of the
works of Metz, Strasburg and Cologne
is almost finished; all the casemates
and powder magazines have been COW
cred with LAYER of cement from 150
to 2 meters thick, and the layer itself
covered also with considerable quan.
tity of sand, gravel or earth. On some
points it appears that metallic coatiugs
have been employed conjointly with
the concrete. Small works are being
executed between the forts, trenches
dug, ordnance placed in position, etc.
The same defensive works are being
executed at Posen, Thorn and Konigs-
berg. A new fortress is TO be con-
structed at Thorn. Large grants have
been voted for the different works of

REPUBLICAN METHODS.

AS all indication of the methods and
practices of the northern republicans
who are so ready TO criticise those of
the south, the following extracts from
q special dispatch TO the Boston Herald
from Providence, Il. |. are given:
This has been All election day that
will be remembered for years. Cor
ruption has flOurished Oh every side,
and the state, as was anticipated, mas
been handed over TO the party having
the largest pile of Doodle. The scenes
about the polling places have been dis
gustiDg in the extreme, and in every
wardrOom there have been living pro-
tests to the extension of the suffrage.
Decent people who went to the polls TO
exercise the right of franchise, after
careful deliberation of what was best
tor them To do, were compelled to push
their way through gangs of loafers who
had coDgregated about the doors and
in the waIdrooms looking for Doodle.
Their very conduct, the expressions of
their faces, their furlive slances at
those whom they took to be agents of
the Doodle carriers, gave them and
their desires away. This sort OF busi
ness was kept up all day, only il was
intensified later in the afternoon,
numerically, as well as through the in
toxicatiun of the tobacco juice squirt
ing crowd. Ii was this class
OF voters and these fellows who
wrecked the ambition of the demo-
cratic leaders and spoiled the telegram
which was to have gone TO the national
headquarters, telling of a glorious vic
tory. The democrats were
very sanguine of CARRYING this city, as
Davis, by the aid of tho independents,
secured it last year by more than 1000
majOrity. The main reliance WAS the
vote OF the third and ninth wards, and
there the republicans laid for them.
| There is in this city u notorious saloon
keeper, wire puller aud heeler, who
has escaped the raids that have been
made all around him, and whose
liquors have never been conflscaied.
He is one of the "tOughs,' u patron of
the ring, and "runs de boys" This
person, Steve McMaugh, was engaged
by the republicans to go into the tenth
ward and there slaughter his party,
lead his fellow countrymen and the
army OF drunken bar-room loaiers to
vote for Taft and raise blazes generally
with the democrats. lie was ably sec
onded by Iris Americans who pre-
tend to be OF tho better class in their
party, but who were Influenced through
some process TO act with McMaugh.
Here votes began to sell for S5, from
that running to $40, aud at noon the
price was doomed up to Sl5. The
81 800 of Doodle sent to that ward be-
gan to tell early. Trades were made,
tickets scratched, and everybody was
wild with excitement McMangh was
denounced by the democrats, and his
associates threatened with political
death, but that did not stop the repub-
licans, through this gin-dive keeper,
from cutting the usual democratic
majority all to pieces.

FIGURES DON'T LIE.

All the world has been told that de-
mocracy, ,liquor-drinking and ignorance
go together, and that where one of the
trio is found the other two will be
lying alongside it. And yet northern
republicans sometimes get their fingers
burned in attempting TO handle the
So called established fact. Not long
ago Hon. w. ID. Kelley, the veteran
republican protectionist of Pennsylva-
mia, made speech, in which he said of
Kentucky: 1.-The mass of her people
are stepped in poverty and illiteracy."
And again: "Kentucky is the most
iIlustrious victim of the whisky trust"
This speech called for an answer, and
| the answer came from Hon. James B.
McCrearv, of Kentucky, in speech
delivered in the house on the 1st inst.
Mr.. McCreary proved from official sta
tistics that "there are more white per-
| sons who cannot read and write in
Pennsylvania than in Kentucky" the
numbers being 1913, 105 in Pennsylvania
and 1929 in Kentucky. Then, as to
whisky. y.drinking, he showed that there

VALUE OF HAWKS AND OWLS.


lFrOm FOREST anu Stream.
In the Massachusetts senate the COM
mitice on agriculture have been direct
ed to consider 1.-The expediency of pro-
viding by law for the offering of boun-
ties for the destroying of injurious birds
and other animals, including English
sparrows, crows, hawks, foxes and
woodchucks, which are destructive TO
farm crOps.' The committee may
proftably familiarize themselves with
the course of Pennsylvania. The law
there giving bounty tor hawks and
owls was repealed last year, because
competent naturalists proved to the
satisfaction of the legislature that those
birds were useful instead of injurious,
and that laws to promote their whole
sale, systematic destruction did not
partake of wisdom but of the rankcst
folly. II hawks and owls are useful
allies of agriculture in Pennsylvania

SIGNIFICANT FOR THE TARIFF RE-
FORM ISSUE.
/ From the Dallas News

Three states have been heard from
since tariff reform on the line of the
presidents message and the Mills bill
became u leading issue, and the results
are by no means tiattering TO the hopes
of the republicans. 1t is true that local
issues and personalities have entered
more largely into The contests than has
the question of tariff reform. But
even then the republicans have little 10
hope, and their boast that Mr.. Cleve-
! land had committed political murder of
the democratic party when he Issued
his famous message dssolves into thin
air, for the elections just held show
that the people are not so welded to
protective ideas as the republicans
would have them sppear to be. Rhode
Island, New Jersey and Louisiana ave
recently held decisive elections. The
first, republican state, was carried as
usual by the republicans, but i'll order
to do so they had To resort to methods
that were so outrageous as to call down
denunciatiOn on their heads even from
the republican newspapers. The sec
Ond, classcd until recently among The
doubtful states, was carried by the dem
ocrats by Il majority three times as great
as that by which it was carried four
years ago. No one attached great
significance to these two states, but the
republicans did count much on Louis
lana. Just before the election the New
| York Sun, which, blythe way, is eX-
cellent republican authority, although
claiming to be democratic, said: .HDis -
satisfaction with the tariff policy OF
the Cleveland administration is rife in
Louisiana, and any marked decrease in
the democratic ma jority will be signif-
can't Well. the result is known now,
and to be logical, the Sun must admit
that the democratic increase is "signitl-
can't The Baltimore Sun, comment
ing on the result III Louisiana, says
"The majority for Gov. Nichols is
four time that of Cleveland in 1891,
and 10000 greater than that OF Gov.
McEnery in the same year. This, too,
c0incidently with the defeat OF the reg
ular democrats in New Orleans by II
majority of from 5000 to 5000. The
tariff ideas of the president are moi, ,
therefore, it appears, repulsive to the
Louisiana democrats. Their effect, on
the contrary, il they Influence the
voters at all, was evidently to quadru
pie the democratic vote. In This view
low tariff ideas are "good politics" for
the democratic party. If the party can
expect like effect of the adminstra-
tons tariff policy upon the democratic
vote i'm other states next November, il
need have no fears as to the success of
the ticket nOtinated at ST. Louis in
June. The New York Sun, and the
alleged democrats for which il speaks,
must see in the $4,000 majority for
Nichols a sad miscarriage of their
hopes. They have one argument the
less with which to seek to divert the
party from lis true course rs the friend

Der suit made with compartment be-
tween the outside and inside coverings
which he fills with gas. When the
suit is inflated his normal weight of l30

BUFFALO FOR LONG ISLAND.

six head of buffalo, three bulls and

captured by him as calves down in the

be sent east before long and will ba
put on Mr.. Austin Corbin's place on
Long Island, where in time number
