MONEY NEVER SAFE

It begins to look as though no fund,
no matter for what purpose it was
created, is safe from the raids Of the
harpies who thrive under Democratic
rule in New York.
Brooklyn and Kings county furnishes
the latest example OF disgraceful rob
berry Of public money, and 1t is quite as

scope as the water company steal OF

burial expenses Of army veterans who

READING FOR RHODE ISLANDERS.

"GCSUS0 Oft VsfSOG tO1NfNCGhOs
No one will question Colonel Honey's
right to send broadcast through the
state copies of his speech in favor OF
unseating representive Landers OF
Jamestown;but one may properly express
doubt as to the effect general reading
of his remarks, even after they have
been carefully edited, will have on
fair-minded citizens. Evidently the
colonel believes an acquaintance with
his speech will lead the people who
read il TO endorse his views. The News
thinks otherwise, for II believes no fair
minded man can follow the argument
of the Newport colonel and come to any
other conclusion than that the course
which it seeks to justisfy was unjust,
illegal and revolutionary.
The point and pith Of Colonel Honey's
contention is that the ballots whereon
the cross was placed to the right of the
blank at the bottom of the list Of candi-
dates should be counted for Smith, the
Democratic candidate. In support of
this claim he quotes literally from Eng
lish opinions and decisions as we'll as
from one given in New Hampshire.
Unfortunately for the colonel, the su.
preme court of this state, which is the
only body whose decisions are binding,
has declared explicitly and clearly that
such ballots are illegal and cannot be
counted.
But the colonel waves this aside with
the remark that the opinion Of the SUI
preme court is no more binding than
the opinion Of any other five lawyers in
the state. There is reason to believe,
however. that the great body of
the people will not agree with
this pronunciamento of the Newport
autocrat. Rhode Islands citizenship
has not yet reached that deplorable
stage Of degeneration when IL will
knowingly countenance open infrac-
tions of its laws or view with favor
contemptuous treatment of the decis-
ions of its highest tribunal.
There is, however, another phase of
this question which, under other cir
cumstances, would be amusing. Colonel
Honey has declared the opinion OF the
supreme court is not binding, and is
entitled only to that respect which
would be given the opinion of any other
five lawyers.
If he really believes this why in the
name of all that is reasonable did he
and his colleagues ask the court for an
opinion as to the legality of Governor
Browns action in proroguing the as
semblyi II the opinion in the James.
town case was not binding how can IL
be so in that Of the adjournment of the
assembly,
This is the question which the care
ful reader Of Colonel Honey's pamphlet
will ask, ard 1t Is one that neither the
colonel nor any of his .confreres on the
Democratic steering committee can
answer without hetrayirs the -,ter

ROWAND'S
After Five Years of Prison Life for Kill
ing the Wrong Man.

After Five Years of Prison Life for Kill
ing the Wrong Man..
With full concurrence of the board
of pardons and many prominent citizens
John A. Rowand has finally been par
doneu by Lieutenant Governor Botkin
from the state prison at Deer Lodge
where he has been for about five years.
The story of the crime for which he was
convicted is this:
Rowand entered the saloon of a man
named Martin in Butte on April %,
1897, with a companion, and called for
the drinks which he told Martin to
charge. Martin refused to do this and
ordered him from the house. Rowand
went but returned in half an hour when
Martin threw him out. Rowand stood
outside and abused Martin through the
open door. Martin got a police whistle
and came to the door to blow it. Row
and was standing there with a revolver
in his hand. and when Martin put in an
appearance he raised the gun and fired.
The ball grazed Martins arm and struck
Bus-iere. who was standing on the other
side of the saloon, in the back, inficting
a wound from which he died in three
hours. He was indicted by the grand
Jury of Silver Bow county but obtained
a change of venue to Deer Lodge county
He was tried and convicted of murder
in the second degree and sentenced to
the states prison for life. A motion for
a new trial was overruied and from this
he appealed to the territorial supreme
court where his sentence was affirmed.
Rowand was a drinking man in those
days, and was drunk when he did the
| shooting. The lesson was a terrible one,
and he swears he will never touch a drop
of liquor again. He has also declared
his intention to devote a portion of his
earnings to the support of the wife and
| children of the man he killed.

The supreme Court Holds jthat Judge
Buck Erred in the Kicker Case.
Nearly a year ago the he,rs,e of the
Kicker estate in Helena brought suit
against W. a. Chessman, executor, for
an accounting. The heirs claimed some
thing like $4,000 as a balance due from
the executor, ana the district court,
Judge Bucks division. gave a decision
for the heirs. On Monday a decision for
Mr., Chessman, on appeal, was handed
down by the supreme court reviewing
the evidence fully. In conclusion the
decision is as follows:
with the carefullest investigation of
the law and facts, our deliberate judg-
ment Is drawn to a negative conclusion
on every vital point in this case. There
Is no hardship IN this, for the executor
must have managed the affairs of the
estate with solicitude for the welfare of
the heirs, and that his management has
been fruitful of benefits to them, is
frankly admitted. Such results as are
shown in this case do not come from in.
difference or neglect. In rendering the
extraordinary judgment of this case we
think the learned judge of the lower
court below must, without the delibera-
ton usually manifested, have adopted
views urged by the forceful ~eloquence of
petitioners counsel. But things only
assumed. in whatsoever eloquent phrase,
or forms only printed, however real they
may seem, cannot support the judgment
of a court. An order will therefore be
entered reversing the judgment in this
proceeding and remanding the case, with
directions to enter judgment in the
court below, dismissing this proceeding
at the cost of petitioner"
Friends Of Mr.. Chessman were certain
that the contest could have no other
outcome than this when all the facts
were known.
