DON'T pO IT

The Law Committee OF City Council
has reported with a favorable recon-
mendation the ordinance to allow that
body to elect the assistant city solicit
tor. The Democratic members declare
their purpose to pass the measure, and
the matter probably will be taken up
this evening. The lay mind Will not
be SO deeply interested in the legal as
pect of the matter as In It's expediency.
Certainly II was never intended in the
Passage OF any measure relating to city
affairs. that this subordinate officer
should be chosen by anybody save his
chief. The city solicitor is responsible
10 The municipality for the conduct Of
his Office, and he cannot afford to ae-
cept the assistance OF one not in har-
monty with his views. and who prob
ably would use his Office TO make party
capital at the expense OF its proper adj
minstration.
II the measure passes Council, and
that body selects Democrat. 1t prob
ably will result in the solicitor doing
all OF the work Of the office. since such
assistance would. in fact, be a him
drance. The action on the part OF the
Democrats is not wise, even from a
partisan point Of view. since the people
will understand the motive which in
spired It; and, in the end, they do not
regard such conduct favorably II is
not fair when one Is elected TO Office,
and has It's responsibilities, 10 tie his
hands by compelling him to accept as
sistants over whom he has no con-
troll. and who, for political ends, would
rejoice In his failure or inefficiency. 1t

BOTKIN CANB
MAY BIZ A FARCE
Present Indications Are That
She Will Escape Second
Trial

Unless California voluntarily delivers
MIS-. Cordelia Botlxin to the State of
DelaWare the second trial of the woman
charged with the murder of Mrs. j. ID.
Deahe ana Mrs. j. =. Dunning, Of Dover,
VIII prove farce. The Western State
refuses To pay the extra compensation
demanded 10y witnesses living in Della
ware, and there is no power TO compel
them to attend. The Supreme Court OF
California declares that State has iuris-
dletion alone, and the woman cannot be
eXtradited. AS n result, Mrs. Rotkin.
VINO was once convicted, may walk out
Of prison.
In discussing the possibility of bringing
Mrs. Botkin East, Attorney General
Ward said yesterday that rather than see
Mrs. Botkin escape without a definite
trial the State OF Delaware would take
her, II the California authorities could
ma a way TO surrender her, but il is
doubtful If in the light of the former de-
cision it can be found.
CASE A PECULIAR ONE.
The case is peculiar" he said. "There
are only few like it in legal annals. It
is asserted that two States have concur-
rent jurisdiction in one case; California.
because the poison which killed the wo-
men was mailed there, and Delaware he
cause the women died here.
But 1t seems to me that bringing her
mere would be impracticable. So many
questions would be raised by the defend.
ants counsel that it is doubtful if We.
could have trial. Then, too, would come
the question Of whether Delaware would
stand the expense of bringing California
witnesses here. SO far as / know. there
is no fund in the State out OF which these
witnesses could be paid extra compcn-
sation.
Il have had no consultation with Gov
ernor Hum in regard to this matter, nor
will have any until / receive official no.

not pay the price demanded by the Della
ware witnesses"

COMRADES

The political ring now in control OF
Pennsylvania Is drunk with power
and in absolute defiance OF public opin-
ion has engaged in a carnival Of job
berry which has never been equalled In
American politics. The fact that the
granting Of the Philadelphia railroad
franchises was opposed by every intel
ligent. honest citizen, and the fact that
II was known to be an open steal, did
not deter the mayor from attaching
his signature to the ordinances givingI
away irrevocably all the availablel
streets. and without a penny OF COM
pensation. 1t counted for naught that
one responsible individual offered
three-cent fares; It counted for naught
that a wealthy man offered $500, 600;
tho mayor signed the measures, thus
concentrating the robbery.
This same Pennsylvania gang has
been the friend and supporter Of the
worst set OF political highwaymen Del
aware ever had. 1t has given
comfort and support TO a ring in our
own midst bent on plumber and self
