senator Quay had left town when
the announcement of his appointment
as United States senator was wired
from Harrisburg. The action of Gov

A JUST VERDICT. !,
Not even Senator Quay,s worst
enemy-if he be sane-can gainsay the
fact that the verdict was just The
odds were all against acquittal. The
district attorney took every advantage
cf his privilege to stand jurors aside
and he held The whip hand when the
II men were selected. Judge Biddle
also gave the prosecution the widest
latitude and they presented all they
had. which was-no nothing.
District Attorney Rothermel, al
though he lost the case, made his repu-
tation as a criminal lawyer He was a
vh for the other side at every point.
The only reason he lost was that he
had no case to start with. But during
the entire trial Mr.. Rothermel was not
only great and ingenious attorney,
hut he was a gentle man. The case was
a legacy left him by his predecessor.
1t had been born during the closing
agonies of Graham, and conceived
when he first tasted the bitter cup of
defeat. The trial itself has been re-
markable in many ways. 1t was at the
close Of the tenth day that the case
was submitted to the jury.

slow. Secretary of the .Anti-lmperialiS-
tic League. said that the charge was
ridiculous concerning the implication
of treason in the act of writing letters
10 soldiers III the Philippines urging
them TO withdraw. Mr.. Winslow said
that there WAS no such thing as trea
son except an overt act against the
Government. Constructive treason was
not recognized by the Constitution of
the United States. He declared that
it was of course impossible TO tell what
some individuals might have attempt
ed 10 do. whose Indignation had been
excired by the Presidents action. He
continues:
'If there is TO he any punishment
inflicted il should be by, way of i'm
peachment of the President, who EN-
ploycd the army and navy of the ma
ton in war against the people of the
Philippines with the avowed purpose
of destroying their army and OF re-
ducing the people to admit the sover
eighty OF our Government. while it is
not pretended that this war was de-
clared by Congress, in which body
alone. under our Constitution. the right
to declare war exists"
Mr.. WinslOw intimated that ii would
be difficult for anybody to eludc the
press censorship and get dispatches to
the Philippines. The complaint all
along has been that the press censor
ship was so rigid that nobody knew
what was going on in the Philippines.
That was one of the chief things criti-
cised in the anti-impcrialist meeting in
fremont Temple.
