The L. S. supreme court handed
down decision in the Kentucky
gubernatoriale election contest Monday
declaring it to be the sense of that
tribunal that it had no Jurisdiction in
that case and that the action of state
legislatures in such matters is final.
This is very important decision aside
from its bearing on the Kentucky
case, because it limits the power of
the national government in state
affairs and places the political rights
and liberties of the people of every
state under the guardianship of the
people themselves. There were
several dissenting opinions from that
of the chief justice but the decision of
the court will be regarded less
critically from the fact that the court
was not divided on party lines, two
republicans and three democrats
sustaining the opinion of the chief
Justice.

Senator Clark of Montana, who
cOnfesSes to having spent about $780,
600 to be elected senator, hangs on to
his office like man who values his
purchase for every dollar he paid for
it. Anticipating an unfavorable
action of the senate on his credentials,
he resigned his seat in that body in a
most feeling and emotional manner,
but the next day he appears on the
scene again with a new claim to the
office which he had resigned the day
before, being nothing less than an
appointment by the acting governor
of Montana to that position With
money for battledore and the senate
for a shuttlecOck he has had one of
the finest innings of this ancient game
that any man can ever boast Of and
the Illuminating feature of the case to
the American people is that the senate
does not seem to know what to do
with him. Mr.. Clark is a democrat.

Fortunately for the average lawyers
client. it is not often the case that a
solicitor so far betrays the confidence
reposed In him as to utilize the in
formation poured into his private ear
for the foul purpose of blackmail, yet
the records of legal malpractices con-
tain certain number of such cases of
more or less heinous.ess, says Tit
Bits. Not so many years ago a young
lady residing in Midland county had
occasion to consult solicitor regard
ing rather delicate matter in which
she had been. through no fault Of her
own, involved. For obvious reasons
she avoided the practitioner who at
tended to her familys business, and,
rather rashly, pitched upon the first
gentleman whose doorplate caught her
eye.
Her choice proved an unfortunate
one. The lawyer in question was an
unmitigated scoundrel. whose chief
harvest was reaped from indscriminate
Dlackmall, and very soon the girl dis
covered this fact to her sorrow. For
the INSCRIPTIONS scoundrel, having OBJ
talned full details of her position, to-
gether with certain compromising doc
uments, proceeded to obtain from her
various sums under threats Of ex-
posure, and it was not until she had
parted with all her savings and was on
the verge of desperation that she sum
mOned sufficient courage to lay the
whole distressing business before her
father. The latter relative at once took
very active measures to bring the vii
lain to justice, but, owing to some
legal technicalities, the case fell
through, and he escaped his well-mer-
tied punishment.

was tried some time ago in one of the

lady typist employed in a fancy goods
firm sued a solicitor Of shady rspute
Tor attempting to obtain money from
her by threats. 1t then transpired that
the girl, having got into scrape
through an unfortunate love affair, had
consulted the lawyer as to the best
means of getting out of the trouble.
Instead of giving her the necessary ad-
vice, the rogue had proceeded to de-
mand from her lie sum of 500. add
Ing that, unless the amount were paid
to him within month, he would pub
fish her story to the whole world, BY
lucky chance, friend of the girl who
had accompanied her to the office hap
pened to overhear the conversation
from the adjoining waiting-room, and,
armed by the presence of this witness,
the plucky girl retaliated upon the viii
famous solicitor by placing him in
the dock shortly afterward. He was
sent to prison for a long term, the
court compllmenting the fair prosecu-
trlx on the courage she had shown in
bringing the scoundrel to the doom ne
deserved. A Matchmaking LAWYER who
died some ten years ago in the West
Indies confessed that, while the ordi-

Beginning with IT'S B. c., the Greeks
reckonsd their time by olympiads, or
periods Of four years when the olym-
pic games were held. A sacred truce
lasting for a month put a stop to all
war between the various states at the
time OF the games. This enabled ev-
sryons to travel in safety, as none
would dare to offend the terrible god
xess. Almost every town in Greece
seat representatives either to compete
or 10 look on at these contests. and

DER the direction of the officials. Dur
ing this period the athlete and his
friends made frequent sacrifices and
prayers to the various deities whom
they thought might assist in giving
him the victory. On the day Of the
games all the competitors were obliged
to take solemn oath at the altar of
the god zeus that they would abide by
the rules and would take no unfair
advantage OF an opponent. Originally
the games consisted OF but single
