1t is impossible to see, in the visit OF
Emperor William to England on the
occasion of the death of Queen Victoria,
simply the filial devotion of grand
son. Besides this most commendable
spirit, it evidences a strength OF
harmony between Germany and Great
Britain that the whole world regards
with interest. This complete crap
proachmentr means the unison OF the
national ambitions of both countries,
if not an actual alliance. Many other
things of late have indicated that
Britain and Germany have formed
either a definite or tacit compact in
their world-schemes. Poor old Kruger
found this out when the emperor
refused to meet him.

Confession is good for the soul and
we desire to purify ours. We are
convinced of an error in Judgment
regarding West Point hazing, based
on transformation. Our opinion was
that the hazing to which 'plebes" have
been subjected was generally harmless,
though possibly at times severe, and
that on the whole it served a good
purpose by preparing the youngster
for the thorny pathway before him in
life. This was the case some Years
ago, but the recent Investigations have
made it clear that hazing has degen-
Grated into low species of brutality
that would better become an Apache
than a young man of honor, such as
we fondly regard the product OF the
national academy. 1t is fortunate that
these conditions have been revealed
before the injury to the service has
become deep-seated, though not soon
enough to save many poor lads from
becoming the victims of shocking
atrocities.

The demise of the queen and the
accession OF new monarch apparently
create no more friction or disturbance
in the government of Great Britain
than does a change of administration
in this country. The crown in
England is mere figure-head-the

acclaimed and to receive homage-but
the real power is in the people acting
through Parliament. The monarch.
aside from his life tenure. has less
authority than our president.

The Brattleboro Reformer proposes
as partial remedy for our unfair
system of Legislative representation
the adoption of system of initiative
and referendum, that is, in legislation
of certain kinds, the assembly should
simply propose the changes or inno-
vations, which must be ratified by the
voters at the polls before becoming
operative. Even this, we are
convinced, would require an amend
ment to the constitution, which cannot
be brought about under twelve years.
Such systems work well, it is said, in
Switzerland, and we believe are
followed in some Of our own states.
II is as near an approach to absolute
democracy as is practicable. The
change would mean the substitution
Of democracy for republican form,
and could be brought about with no
less agitation than change in the
system of representation, we fear.

Adelbert S. Hay. who was killed at
Yale college last week, was the eldest
son of the secretary of state and was
born while the latter was living in
Cleveland, O., about twenty-five years
ago. His second name is Stone, which
he bears in memory of the late Amasa
Stone. his maternal grand sire. He was
educated in private schools of Cleve-
land and prepared at st. Paul's Acad-
envy in Concord, n. H., for Yale. At
the university he was popular schol-
ar, for, though outwardly reserved in
manner, he was capable of warm and
steadfast friendships, and was of
charmiree manners. At Yale Adelbert
gave much time to athletics, and thus
splendidly developed his naturally
robust frame, so that he stood at 81
full six feet high, with chest and limbs
of corresponding proportions. The
stalwart figure of young Hay, with the
look of reserve power in his face, I'M
doubtedly went far towards securing
for MIN the respect and consideration
which is not always exhibited to one
of his years.

FOR THE FULL FIVE YEARS.
Judge Altman will Give Prisoner
Full Limit.
A MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL.

Eldorado, Kas., July l.-Jessie Nor.
rison will get the full limit of impris-
onment in the penitentiary for the
crime for which she was convicted.
Judge Altman will sentence her to
five years. Under the law, he could
won't. To her brother Hayward Jes-
sic said that her conviction was due TO
the fact that she did not have fair
trial. She claimed that all the ma
chinery of the court was against her.
She expressed a hope that her attor-
neys would appeal the case and get a
new trial. In that event she will be
tried in another county.
The attorneys for Miss Morrison are
getting ready to made a strong show
ing in their motion for a new trial this
week. They are gathering affidavits
from people throughout the county to
show that various members of the jury
had expressed opinions that Jessie was
guilty long before they were summon
ed as jurors. For some reason which
is not apparent the attorneys for the
defense believe they are going to have
hard time getting a bill of exceptions
approved by the court in case their
motion for new trial is overruled and
the defendant is sentenced.
Miss Morrison was unfortunate in
having couple of lawyers on her side
who were not in good standing with
Judge Altman. Judge A. L. Redden,
of Topeka, and 7. A. Kramer, of this
city, are law partners. For many
years they have been at swords points
with Judge Altman. Kramer ran
against Judge Altman for the Repub-
lican nomination for judge last fall,
but was defeated. Aikman's friends
charge that Kramer got out and did
what he Gould to defeat Altman.
