turned from attending court at Walhalla

for Powers, indicted for killing Richoy,
near Fair Play. Ho has good reason to
feel somewhat elated as ho appeared
there in a now rolo, that of "court bus
tor" His friends know he was q good
lawyer, but they didn't know ho could
bust" whole court, but ho did. lie
wanted tho court to postpone tho trial
OF his client because he was not ready
and tho court refused. Princes blood
got up then and he went at them "bald-
headed" and knocked the court into
"smithcrcons'' by showing that tho
grand jury and tho petit juries woro illo-
gally drawn and tho Judge 80 ruled on
tho facts presented to him. Those
mountaincors arc saying that q lawyer
who can "butt" whole court of tho

good solicitor, they believe. And 50 say
wo all.

TO A man up tree, Il looks very much
as u the criticism Of Admiral Dewey, be.
cause he gave the home donated to him
by the public to his wife, Is inspired by
those who fear the possibility Of this
splendid American becoming a presiden.
tial candidate. This criticism savOrs
strongly Of peanut politics. There was
no improperly whatever In the act Of
deciding the home to Mrs. Dewey; as a
matter Of fact, II was a chivalrous per.
fofmance, with no tinge Of ingratitude to
the never overly wise public. Dewey
brought no fortune to his wife, only the
income received from the government
which he has served with such disting.
uished ability, and this home, the gift Of
a grateful people, proud Of his great
achievment. He shares his fame with
his wife, lays at her feet this one substan.
tial evidence Of glory won, deed worthy
Of knight Of old.
And now a pack Of characterless, trickv
politicians seek to defame the national
hero by supplying an ignoble motive for
so graceful an act, and drag his honored
name through the slime Of dirty scandal,
merely because they fear he may become
dangerous rival to their plant tool.
And a corrupt, subservient press steps
promptly to their aid and gives the libel.
Gus story worldwide circulation. These
shallow schemers should remember that
the same tactics failed to defeat the
stuffed prophet from Buffalo, a man
whose name Is not worthy to be men.
toned In the same volume with that Of
Dewey. These gossip mongers, as Is the
cOwardly system Of their kind, vaguely
hint Of a woman In :he case, and intimate
that there has been some dreadful carry.
ing ons." IT. all the history Of the world,
good, strong, warm.blooded men have
adored the ladies and sought to win their
iavors without asking permission Of
church, state ~ rubbernecking neighbors.
Dewey Isl thoroughbred, Is perhaps no ex.
eeption to this rule, and II the allegation can
be demonstrated with the concluSiveness
Of u mathematical problem, II will not In.
juRe him In the estimation Of the sensible
majority of the American people.
