Senator John Martin Ohieially Declares
HImseIf-Cares Not on What Ratio it

TOPEKA, Kan, July 30 Senator John
Martin has been known to be in favor of
repeating the Sherman law, but It was
believed he would impose no condition to
the program.
He has now officially declared himself
in the following statement: 'In my
opinion all men who have given the
question of finance any thought are in
favor of the repeal of the Sherman act.
It Is an outrageous law, fact due more
to the Interpretation, in my judgment,
than to the intent of the trainers.
Il do not believe that Mr.. Carlisle OF
any other good lawyer believes that the
certificates issued under that law are
necessarily redeemed in gold
"While decidedly antagonistic to the
Sherman law, however, l am not pre-
pared to cast my vote for its repeal un.
til some provision is made for the
coinage of silver. care not upon what
ratio it is coined; that in my Judgment
is a matter of minor Importance"

A CASE DISMISSED.
Because the Prosecuting Attorney
Failed i'm His Proof.

Things are not all serene between Judge
Campbell Presiding Judge of the Police
Court who occupies the bench in depart
ment /, and his Prosecuting Attorney, Mr..
Reed. Not long ago Mr.. Reed made declara-
ton of principles and intentions, which are
all to his credit and he followed 1t up by
stating to the court the day following the
publication of his declaration that he felt
himself abundantly able to try all the cases
that he was called upon to handle, without
assistance from the bench. Since that time
Judge Campbell has refrained from interfer-
ing with the Prosecuting Attorney or advs-
ing him.
Yesterday Mr.. Reed found tn at after all
a little help from the court ut times was not
to be despised. He was prosecuting John
Roberts for carrying concealed weapons,
and had good case against the prisoner.
When he had finished with the witnesses for
the prosecution, Reed announced his case
closed, and the attorney for the defense
arose and said: Are you sure you have
closed your case?"
Your Honor heard what / said" re-
sponded Mr.. Reed. my case is closed"
Judge Campbell did not saw ANYTHING
but awaited the move he knew was coming.
The attorney for the defense at once
announced that he had no testimony 10
offer, and then moved dismissal of the
case on the ground that Prosecutor Reed
had failed TO introduce the ordinance under
which he was prosecuting Roberts, and had
likewise failed TO Introduce the weapon
which Roberts was accused OF cOncealing.
Reed realized that his case was bOpeessly
lost and that there was nothing left for the
court to do but dismiss the charge which
was done.
Judge Campbell evidently thought that 1t
was better to allow law-breaker to escape
than TO allow the prosecution to reopen the
ease and allow the necessary proof TO be in
