the grounds that in the argument to
the jury, County Attorney Rogers had
referred to the fact that Mrs. Smith,
wife of the defendant, did not testify
in bis behalf. This is contrary TO
the code Of criminal procedure.
When Mr.. Elliott read the law relat-
ING to the case, most OF the attorneys
expressed surprise and confessed that
they were ignorant of that feature Of
the code. The law is equally appli-
cable when the person on trial refuses
to testify.
Section 2lS Of the Code of Proceed.
ure, relating to the case, is as follows;
"Ihe neglect or refusal Of the per-
sou on trial 10 testify, or Of wife to
I testify in behalf Of her husband, shall

ferred 10 by any attorney prosecuting

A Big Damage Suit.

J. P. Baden, the Winfield miller,
has filed a suit 10 the district court at
Wichita fol $4,000 damages against
G. Wood Davis, the noted statistician,
and the editors Of the Kansas Farmer.
In its issue of February 3, the Kansas
Farmer under the caption, "Substitu-
tiOn-Adulterations, quoted from a
communication from Mr.. Davis among
other paragraphs the following: ut
is even in Kansas not an easy matter
to get a sampleJf unadulterated -four,
and from Winfield a miller bv the
name of Baden is mixing his -four
with exceedingly poor corn meal that
the veriest novice could and does de-
tect the adulteratiOn. have bought
a sack OF it, and know whereof |
affirm" Mr.. Baden's attention was
called to the article and in less chan
ten minutes after reading it he had
instructed his attorneys to begin suit,
Mr.. Baden's petition is quite lengthy
and complete. He denies adulterating
his -four whatever. He says his mill
is equipped with the finest and most
modern machinery, that his millers
are the best and most skilled that
money can secure and that he has
always enjoyed the confidence OF the
business world, both at home and
abroad. He denies that Mr.. Davis
ever bought any of his -four, and
charges him with maliciously circu-
lating libel which has or will iDjure
his bushes to the extent OF $4,000.
Davis lives in Sedgwick county.

The VOICE reproduces elsewhere
an editorial article from the Kansas
Farmer, endorsing the movement for
great national exposition at Kan
sas City in 1908 in commemoration
Of the Louisiana purchase, A map
showing the extent of the acquisi.
tions to United States territory also
accompanies the article, forming
quite an interesting study. The
proposal to celebrate this great
event seems to have struck a popu-
lar chord all around, and the enter
prise of Kansas City should stir itself
to put the matter on foot. The
Kansas Farmer says that the appro-
priateness of the suggestion that the
exposition should be held in Kansas
City is apparent to every one, and it
says further that the great cxposi-
ton should be chaperoned and
financed by the government of the
United States.

manner of dealing with the legisla-

good comes of the very excellent

The Caldwell News came out
squarely last week against the nomi-
nation Of Chester |. Long. 1t pro-
claims further that Sumner county
is against him. The News terms
him the ring candidate and says the
"machine" has been industriously at
work trying to manufacture senti>
ment for him because the "machine"
knows that Chester will respond
most readily to the rings demands.
Bro. SimonS proceeds thus: awe
DO not know how popular Mr.. Long
may be in other counties, but we do
know that he is not the choice of a
majorityssof the leading Republicans
OF Sumner county. 1t has been the
habit of certain papers to minimize
the influence and popularity of Jerry
Simpson in this district, but the fact
nevertheless remains that Jerry
Simpson has twice defeated Chester
l. Long at the polls. Now what
assurance have we that Mr.. Long is
a stronger candidate than he was
two years ago2 In Sumner county
he is much weaker.
as it good argument to urge in
Mr.. Longs behalf that because he
has been beaten twice in three times
that logically he is a sure winner

the support Of many of his once
ardent friends, not because he coul6
not grant their wishes, but because
of the manner in which he treated

Cleveland, and now with Mckinley

that that there is not fair dealing in

The resolution passed the senate
by vote of "a to 10 Senator Baker

piled evaslvely and the sale pro

breath. 1t was bid off at Topeka
and a man put aboard the first train
Tor St. Loais carrying the necessary
reports so that the judge Of the
United States court could confirm it
speedily before interference could
intervene. So rank was the fraud
that Senator Turpie of Indiana in
troduced and had passed in the sen.
ate on the 18th the following reso-
luton:
Resolved lin the opinion of the
senate), That the sale of the Kansas
Pacific division Of the Pacific railroad

cept upon the terms that the original
claim aud The interest thereon due to
the United States from said railroad
company Of the Kansas Pacific divi-
sion be paid 10 full by the bidders.
But it was 100 late. The job was
done. Judge Sanborn, who con-
frmed he sale, is a creature of a
Federal appointment and he acted
promptly and in perfect harmony
with the administrations wishes.
If this does not make out a pretty
good case of jobbery it would be
difficult indeed to make one. Sena-
tor Harris evidently traced the
"coon" to its hole and that hole was
"way up high"
In view Of the fact that Senator
Harris referred quite extensively to
this matter when he spoke in Well
lington last fall, and in order to clear
up some false and misleading state
ments that are being made by Re-
publicans about the sale, the VOICE
will next week print a considerable
portion Of the congressional record
containing Senator Harris statement
to the senate.
Senator Harris has won fame
throughout the country because Of
his able and manly stand on this
question. The New York World Of
the 10th prints his statement in dou-
bic column with great headlines and
portrait, and warm editorial endorse

she sent him to the senate. If the
next five years are as productive of
good service as the past unfinished
year he will have won a proud posi-
ton in the hearts of his countrymen.

notonously.

Like Mother. Like Son.

One of the most remarkable among
the feats of the postotfice in finding
people-and such feats are many-is
recorded by New York paper. A
letter was received at the postoffice in
that city addressed simply: ITO my
mother, New York, America"
The letter came from Ireland, but
as there are in New York several wo-
men who have sons in Ireland, the
postoffice people despaired of finding
the right one. However, the letter
was turned over to the deciphering
department. Now it so happened that
on the very day of its receipt there
an Irish woman came to the general
window and said;
Have We a letter from me b'y?"
The fact that woman with the
cast Of mind required for such an in
quiry should come at that time,
struck the clerk, who had heard OF
letter for a woman whose name was
not given, assomething more than a
coincidence. 1t was quite possible
that such woman might be the
mother Of such son.
SO he took the letter, observed the
postmark. and asked the woman
where her "b'y" lived, She gave the
name of the place with which the let
ter was stamped, Some other ques-
lions were asked and the answers not
ed down. Then the clerk gave the wo-
man the letter, on the condition that
she should open i on the spot and re-
turn il il il were not for her.
She opened it, and 10, It's contents
proved conelnsively that it was really
from her son in Ireland.
