Gov. Durbin and the Constitution

Governor Durbin, like Governor Mount, has refused to honor the re- quisition of the governor of Kentucky for the extradition of ex-Governor Taylor and Charles W. Findley, now under indictment for complicity in the murder of Governor Goebel. h. kdiana has thus turned down for the Isecond time a requisition from the governor of Kentucky. These States are neighbors, and Governor Durbin bases his unneighborly conduct upon the statement that the two men who are wanted in Kentucky would not be able to secure there fair and impartial trials. He assumes that the courts would be packed for their conviction. and he therefore refuses to hand them over.
 This involves grave constitutional question. The constitution of the United States simply provides, as fol- lows:
 "A person charged in any state with treason, felony or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and. be Soun6 in< an- other state, shall, on demand of the ex- scutive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime.'
 There is no grant in this of the dis cretionary power that Governor Dur bin says he choose to exercise. It is not there by necessary implication even. On Its face it says a requisi- tion is mandatory, and yet an execu- tive of a sovereign State cannot well be coerced. There is no machinery for that purpose, and none can be devised except through a constitu- tional amendment. It is indeed a peculiar situation when a governor of one State can harbor an indicted man on the ground that his trial in another State would not be fully and 1mpartially satisfactory This right means in times of deep excitement a deadlock in the administration of jus tice, at least in connection with given problem

 Good citizens proudly state: "s,e never needle with politics. We attend to our own business This merits the approba- ton of politicians. But good citizens. even the men who make these state ments. know that such conduct Is wrong. Has any man a right to shun a civil duty7 It is by business men avoiding their civil duties cities like New York, Chicago and Philadelphia become the hunting fields of brigands. It is only now and then. when conditions become intol- lerab1e. that the citizens rise in revolt and drive the brigands from their strong holds.
 In school room and lecture hall from rostum and pulpit. the duty of a citizen should be taught and preached. Young sters should harden into manhood im- pressed with the sense of obligation to the city, county and state. with the consciousness of a duty that is i'll per- formed if limited to the mere casting of a ballot The lack of interest our young Americans take in political affairs, the lOwness of their ideals. the smallness of their perceptions as to their duties as good citizens hodes i'll for the good gov ernment of state and nation.
 American youth receives a marvellous training for success in the world. All mental and manual equipment tends to arm youth to battle for the necessities of life and the acquisition of the dollar. The dollar, indeed. has become the God of the nation. and those who possess 1t expect and receive the homage of those about them. Hence the universal trend is toward securing it by means not al- ways favorable to honor or to honesty. If such be the case. is 1t to be wondered at that pursue for profit: and that gov srnment from which the happiness and comfort of niilians flow, is the mere in- ciGenta1 occupation of Laose who con- duct 1t. not from a sense of civic duty, but for personal gain?

PILLORIED,

As to the famous loop" by which the then to tho west in pursuit of the Colon. Captain Cook of the Brooklyn has tes- tified that he himself ordered that move ment. and defends it as a technical man. euver of great importance in the final re- suit. Whatever the merits of this loop" per SC, the efforts to charge it to coward ice on the part of Schley is obviously little more than product of malignant animosity. It is matter of evidence that the Brooklyn's five-inch guns made more than ohe-third of all the hits that were made on the Spanish vessels by our en- tire fleet, and with the Oregon overlook the escaping Colon, while the admiral then commodore, was constantly exposed to fire throughout the action, and accord ing to Captain Cook and all the other of- ficers of the Brooklyn was entirely self possessed. cool and courageous Whether the loop was a tactical mistake or not to describe 1t as cowardly running away is merely silly. It is not an edify- ing spectacle that three years after so great victory as Santiago the officer in command of our fleet during the battle should find 1t necessary to request a court of inquiry to decide whether or not he was coward and traitor Officers are often courtmartialed for conduct leading to defeat in battle. but it is remark able to find one pilloried for the crime of winning a victory. Admiral Schley may have committed various errors, and prob ably will not rank with our greatest naval officers, but tho record of his flagship in the battle and the results of the work done by our fleet while he was in com mand will chiefly determine historys ver- dict lDon his case

We Don't Want No Street FaIr.

'Montgomery's third street fair Is over, and the Advertiser is satisfied that 1t does not eXaggerate when it declares that the mass of Montgomery people are glad of 1t.
 Montgomery has regarded It as duty, as well as a pleasure, to provide some form of entertainment for the sec ton of country tributary to it. This year an attempt was made to change the street fairs of 1899 and 1900, with all their objectionable features, into something different and better-into a fall festival. But though the directors doubtless tried their best, it seems to have been impos sible. The fall festival was the old street fair, with all its disadvantages and few of its advantages When the streets are thrown open to sideshows. to steam-pianos and spoilers, to confetti and popping sticks, hundreds and thousands of people, young and old, of this city and from the outside, seem to become intoxicated with excitement, and to go to all sorts of extremes. The result is week of pandemonium, disgusting to all, demoralizing to many and profitable to but few.
 Tt is said that few cities endure third street fair. Most of them are sat isfied with the second. Montgomery Is unquestionably unwilling to have fourth. The Advertiser believes that it voices the sentiments of the bulk of the business men of the city in that respect. It may be possible next year to get up some kind of fair to entertain the pub lie, to draw crowds to the city but IL will be something radically different from the street fair. Just what 1t can be, or may be, is matter for furture considera- tion."

Not So Green as He Looked.

Ex-United States Senator Tom" Car ter of Montana has the type of face that, decorated as it Is by a neatly trimmed white chin whisker, suggests the typical gentleman farmer as seen in the cartoons of the comic paper, relates the New York Times. The Senator was coming out of the Waldorf-Astoria the other morning with an old travel-battered handbag in his hand. As he reached the sidewalk a rather ordinary-looking young fellow came up to him and said:
 Excuse me, but are you not MT. Gray of Atlanta?"
 MT. Carter looked at him for a moment in an effort to discern whether the fel- low was in earnest or whether this was really the introductory part of the old confidence game. Finally he decided it was the latter, and he said softly to the questioner:
 NO, sonny, you don't come any way near it. My name Is Vidocq. belong to the government secret service, and I am the original Old Sleutn.

Wrong Name Spoiled the Effect.

It Is the hardest thing in the world to be funny to order, and MT. Fred Wright Jr., Is so associated in the minds of peo- pie with his many successes, that they seem to expect him to play the same part off the stage as he does on, says London M. A. P. He takes in his quiet humorous way, a pleasure in surprising them, and he Is quick in telling the dif- ference between honest appreciation and mere flattery. For instance, he is the author of that pretty little piece, The Empty Stocking" which ran for a con- siderable time at the Strand. One day, at an ''at home" he was introduced to 8 young lady of the too demonstrative manner.
 "Oh, MT. Wright" she exclaimed, "I went to see your play last week. it is so sweet! It made me cry for an hour"
 Then she hesitated. and MT. Wright saw that she had forgotten even the name, so he asked: Do you mean at the Strand Theatre?'
 Yes" continued the young lady, "Of course, at the Strand-"The Pair of Socks isn't it?'
