was present, but was not represented BY
counsel. The attorneys were urged 10 limit
themselves to three hours on each side.
Mr.. Robertson spoke with much empha-
sis on the wrongs which he contended had
been committed. both by the Idaho officials
and the United States troops. He was par
tfcularly severe in arraigning Bartlett Sim
clair, the State official placed by Governor
Steunenberg in supreme authority In the
Occur d'Alenes. Mr.. Robertson contended.
however. that when martial law was de-
clared and United States troops were sent
into the district they could not be subordi-
mated to the civil authorities. He pre-
scented Law authorities holding that United

thority of the President as c-ommander-in-
chief. He maintained that the RESPONSE
bility for what had occurred rested with
the Federal authorities.

A correspondent of the New York Post
presents an argument to show that the
good times in this country will last nine
years longer. His argument is based upon
the commercial ups and downs of the past.
A period of prosperity. the correspondent
says, begins with an advance in iron and
steel, followed by a boom in railroad
construction, the development of new
towns. heavy immigration and real estate
speculation. The impulse of the movement
is always westward. The new population
opens new industries and new markets
for the sale of manufactured articles. The
general outlook for iron and steel
has never been surpassed. The
gold supply is increasing, and the low
grade gold deposits are inexhaustible. The
writer can see no danger in the presiden-
tial year. but looks for a broadening Of
business until 1903. The presidential year
may, however, have something to do with
the era of prosperity. If Organism should
appear as dangerous as ii did In 1896 with
it's free silver heresies and it's threats
against the Supreme Court, confidence,
which is the basis of prosperity. may re-
ceive a shock which would turn back the
nationwide tide of prosperity.
