Professor Addison Hogue, of Washing
ton and Lee University, finds that new
craftsmanship and its consequences are
not peculiar TO modern times. He sends
this to the Nation:
The following passage from Isokrates
de Pace, section 10 is not inappropriate
in these days:
am surprised that the older men no
longer remember, and that the younger
ones have not heard from anybody, that
we never yet suffered any evil from fol-
lowing those who advised US TO maintain
peace; whereas, because of those who
lightly Tor recklessly) choose war we
have before now found ourselves involved
In many and serious disasters.
And the Nation very appropriately puts
the contribution under the caption OF
The Greek fox Jingo.'"

DR.. Kennedy, the New York dentist
charged with the murder Of Dolly" Rey-
nolds in the Grand Hotel last August, has
been found guilty and sentenced TO be

lawyers who defended Kennedy. zone

was so astounded at the failure Of the
testimony to prove an albi that he did
not appear at his Office the following day.
Fred. House, the leading counsel of de-
fence, was pale with rage when he heard
the verdict. The lawyers really expected
a disagreement based upon the strength
of the alleged alibi. They hardly hoped
for an acquittal, but they could not be-
lieve that twelve men would agree on a
verdict OF murder in the first degree on
the evidence presented" Many rumors
were circulated as TO alleged bribery OF
some of the jurors, but there does not
seem TO have been any ground for these
reports. People generally seem 10 have
been Of the opinion that the jury would
disagree. The firm which defended Ken

United states Senators.
Fairfax ETerald.)

Something of a political sensation was
sprung on Saturday last, when an address
was issued to the Democratic voters or
Virginia signed by fifty-twO well-known
gentlemen of the State Including some
from this section), in which was discuss
ed at length the question Of the selection
of United States Senators by "direct vote
OF the people, and until that result is ac-
complished the selection of party senate
rial candidates by some popular method
To those who are favorable to such a
plan, an invitation is extended to assem-
BILE In the city OF Richmond on Thursday,
the 18th day of May, for the purpose or
adopting such measures as may be
thought best to promote the plan outlined
above.
We know nothing as TO when where,
or by whom this address was prepared,
but from the character and ability Of the
signers the question is likely to grow III
Importance until the convention assem-
bles in Richmond in May, as they VIII
doubtless utilize the intervening time I'M
pressing their views upon the people.
No other method of electing United
States Senator's can be adopted without
changing the Constitution, which provides
that they shall be elected by the State
Legislatures. Much can be said (and IS
said with considerable force In the ad-
dress referred to) in behalf of so chang
ing the Constitution as to elect the United
States Senators by a direct vote OF the
people. AS the Richmond meeting, ac-
cording to the call, is to be composed OF
such people only as favor certain line
of policy, we do presume that its action
is expected to have any binding effect
upon the party, but is intended rather as
suggestive of action to be taken by the
State Committee in the matter OF calling
a convention TO consider the whole ques-
ton. Should such convention be called,
a ''red-hot time" may be expected, from
the mountains TO the sea. between the
advocates OF the new and the old plan OF

Edward Wise, who has been sentenced
to death in New York for the alleged
murder Of Charles j.. Beasley last No
vember, declared at the last moment of
his trial that another man committed the
murder. He said he was willing to suffer
Imprisonment for the sake Of a compan-
ion, but that having reached a point
where death confronted him. he would
shield the man no longer. He gave the
mans name to the police, and the latter
are looking for the individual, though
they refuse TO divulge the name. Wise
made a long statement to the District
Attorney. lie is q years old. and comes
Of excellent parentage in Boston. He is
well educated and an athlete. He and
several companions went to New York
from Boston TO witness n fight at the
LenoX Athletic Club. He lost his money,
and became stranded. lie says he fell in
with bad company. Beasley was sand
bagged in Thrty-eighth street. Wise was
caught running away. lie made no de-
NAL OF having struck Beasley. He finally
admitted that he was present at the sand
bagging, but claims that another man,
higherto unmentioned, did the sandbag-
ging. When on trial he put in no defence.
He said he thought he would only be
found guilty Of manslaughter The police
seem to place some reliance in his story.

Carnival Crumbs.
The r6aaODI

The reasons for having carnival are
numerous. 1t will afford pleasure and
excitement. It will be revelation to
Ell Pasoans themselves Of the power
and resources of the city. It will unite
the people in a single purpose and go
far to obliterste the present lines of
difference dividing in many directions.
1t will make the people proud of their
city and that they are Ell Pasoans. 1t
will show to the world what the incom-
parable advantages of Ell Paso really
are climatic, therapeutic, mineral,
agricultural, and grazing. 1t will
bring a large sum of money to the city.
A citizen of Ell Paso, personal friend
of ex-senator Arthur p. German, of
Maryland, learning that he is looking
for warm, dry climate in which to
spend the winter, has written him con-
corning Ell Paso, and has especially
called his attention to the midwinter
carnival and it's international charac-
ter. There are hundreds of persons in
the east. like Senator German, who are
DESTROYS of climatic benefits, such as
Ell Peso can offer, and yet who demand
city life, conveniences, comforts and
amusements. They need but to know
| that Ell Paso meets all their demands.
