REDUCING COURT COSTS.

There IL much to commend in the bill
introduced in the Missouri House by
Representative Phillips providing for a
limitation Of the number Of witnesses
that may be subpoenaed In criminal
cases pending In any Missouri court
The bill Is commendable for the rea-
son that it is q step in the direction Of
preventing the piling up Of costs in such
cases without proper regard to the value
Of the testimony for which the extra ex-
pense Is incurred. In capital cases, or
those where the punishment may be i'm
prisonment for an indefinite term, the
number Of witnesses for the State Ii
limited to fifteen; In cases involving
penitentiary imprisonment, to eight, and
in all misdemeanors, to five. The con-
sent Of the Judge Of the court to an ap-
plication in writing by the Prosecuting
Attorney is necessary II this Limitation
be exceeded. The bill also provides that
the State or county. in the event of de-
fendant's inability to pay costs, shall
pay q number Of witnesses for the de-
tense equal only to the number sub
poenaed by the State.
1t ID understood that Representative
Phillips's measure IL approved by the
Judges Of the State Circuit Courts and
by the prosecuting attorneys Of the
State, as also by Governor Dockery,
Secretary Of State Cook, Auditor Allen
and Assistant Attorney General JEFF
ferries. The merit Of the bill lies In the
fact that 1t proposes practical retrench-
ment In court costs without In any man.
ner threatening the cause Of Justice. 1t
would seem that the measure deserves
enactment into law.

SMOKE ABATEMENT.

There is reason for satisfaction over
the passage Of the smoke abatement bill
in the State Senate on Friday.
The bill as originally introduced by
State Senator Drabelle aroused the op-
position Of brick kiln owners, who as
serted that they were unable to secure
an effective smoke consumer for their
plants. In accordance with the objec-
tions raised by this interest, the bill was
amended 50 that persons who could show
that no adequate smoke consumer was
procurable for their chimneys would be
unaffected. With this amendment, the
measure passed unanimously.
II the members Of the House win take
similar action, St Louis win feel CRATE
ful for the ready compliance with which
the General Assembly has met the wish
es Of citizens. Indications point to an
early passage Of the bill In the House.
Then, when the Governor has signed
the measure, St Louis win be enabled
to have q clear atmosphere. 1t seems
almost too good to be true.

Miss Comes work IN tho Irish cause IS
said to be due to an accident which oc-
CURED at dinner she attended some years
ago. Although q native Of Ireland. her life
prior to that time had been largely spent
under English influences. Her father had
been Colonel In the English Army and
had also acted as Ambassador to Russia.
Miss Come. 1t In stated, received instruc-
ton from the same preceptors who taught
some Of the younger members OF the royal
family in England. The greater part OF
Miss Comes education was received In
Russian and French languages fuently. She
edits q paper In Paris. which is published
In French. 1t Is the organ Of the Irish
colony In Paris and Is devoted to the in

stated, In q ditch. under q shelter of bram-

Miss Come was deeply affected. She left

The death Of her father left her her own

into the cause OF evicted tenants Her ac-

MAKING A CHOICE EASY.

After having, with great show OF
Difference to the wishes Of the people.
adopted a resolution providing that the
have an opportunity to select their can
didates at an open primary election, and
pledging itself not to indorse any can
didate before this popular selection nor
to authorize the selection or suggestion
Of any candidate or candidates for nomi-
nation, the Republican City Central
Committee has put a slate ticket in the
field which Republican voters are ex-
pected to nominate in all meekness and
humility.
In addition to this amazing exhibition
Of machine methods, the committee also
authorized q formal movement, through
another committee. to force from the
field Republican candidate for the
Mayoralty nomination who did not
chance to be placed on the slate ticket.
This candidate has the right to submit
his claims for nomination to the Re
publican voters at the nominating pri-
maries, inasmuch as II is these voters
who nominate, but the Republican City
Central Committee and the other partici-
pants in the Republican conference
which named the Parker ticket seem de-
termined to deny this right. The people
will be allowed to nominate-but, II the
slatemakers have their way, the slate
ticket is the only ticket that will be In
the field when the people come to vote
at the primaries.
This is machine politics with ven
geance. 1t is all the more astounding,
and not little amusing, in view of the
fact that the Republican machine has
been having spasms of virtuous indigna-
ton because Rolla Wells's name was
mentioned for the Democratic nomina-
ton to the Mayoralty some time before
the primaries and nominating conven-
ton were held. The gang and its organ,
the Globe-Democrat, kept shrieking that
this was a dreadful thing, even though
the competition with Mr.. Wells at the
primaries was spirited and aggressive
and he was nominated by the Demo-
cratic City Convention in direct ODE
dience to the free and untrammeled ac-
tion Of the people at the polls. But. it
was argued by the machine gang now
trying to limit the choice Of Republican
voters to the one ticket selected by the
gang, It was shameful that Mr.. Wells
should have been urged in any manner
upon the favor Of Democratic voters.
And now comes into the field the Re-
publican buck-and-gag ticket for which
the rank and file Of the party is COM
to vote.
There should be great significance in
tho Republican vote cast at the nomi-
mating primaries on March 8 next. VIII
the voters obediently step up to the
polls and confirm the nominations"
made without their knowledge or con-
sent? Or will they exercise their right
of choice and proceed to do the nomi-
mating themselves? The answer to these
questions will be awaited by an OBJ
servant and somewhat tickled public |
with considerable interest.

robbed an express car on the Central
Georgia railroad this morning soon
after the train left for Savannah.
The tIain was going at good speed
