Its effect would be to make impOssi-
BILE such legislation as the Allen Bill,

Public servants should be selected

1t is VIGOROUSLY true that corrupt leg
islatures have sent to the United
States Senate men who are well
known agents and plant tools of the
corporate interests that demand and
secure their election.
The theory upon which the trainers
of the Constitution acted when they
provided that one branch of our ma
tional legislature should not be an
swerable directly TO the people, the
fear that public clamor might cause
unwise legislation. has been disprov-
en- by the history of our country: the
American people are not emotional
and can be trusted to ask of their law
making bodies only such legislation
as Is wise. just. and for the benefit
of all the people. as well as for the
prosperity and good of the govern
ment
Make United States senators an
swerable to the people that they as
sumo to represent; see that their
votes and actions are scanned by the
voters: let their reelection depend
upon the stand they have taken upon
public questions. and they will pay
more attention to the needs Of the
people and less to the demands Of the F.
favored few.
These are but a few Of the more
glazing examples of needed Iegisla- F.
ton. and have been selected because
they embrace our municipal. State and
Federal Government. and because they
tend towards the ideal government:

Judge Barrow Sustains Contentious
of Richard and Katie Wright.
Judge Barrow granted an order yes
terday at noon discharging from the
custody of the sheriff of the county
Richard and Katie Wright, a respec-
table appearing negro couple, who had
been arrested on warrant from TAFT
nall county.
There was a hearing on frabeas cor
pus proceedings instituted by the man
and his wife last week, when it was
contended in their behalf that the war
rant, which charged them with selling
mortgaged property, was fatally de-
fective. Judge Barrow sustained this
contention, but gave the prosecution
until yesterday at noon to remedy the
defects. An attempt to do this was
made, but it was not successful. In
his order, directing the defendants
discharge from custody, Judge Bar
row said:
THE applicants in this case must be
discharged from custody under the law.
when this case came before me, on
Jan. 80, last, the proceedings, upon their
face. were fatally defective, and a rea-
sonable time was given, until to-day at
noon, under paragraph 1927 of the Grim
inal Code, to enable the prosecutor to
remedy the defect by new proceeding.
In my opinion, the new proceeding does
not remedy the defect.
1T is therefore, considered, ordered
and adjudged that the said John
Schwarz, sheriff of this county, do re-
store the said Richard Wright and Ka-
tie Wright to their liberty

RESIDENCE BURGLARIZED.
Grocery store Robbers, However,
Have Become Quiet.

Grocery store Robbers, However,
Have Become Quiet.
The residence of Mr.. H. S. Dreese
was burglarized Sunday night, while
the family was out and several ar
ticles were taken by the thief, includ-
ing 80 cents. The robbery was report
ed to the detectives yesterday morn
ing, but no arrests have been made as
yet.
The thief broke glass in the base
ment door on Duffy street, and in so
doing cut his hand. A careful search
of the house was made and such ar
ucles as struck the fancy of the bur-
glar were taken. Mr.. Dreese made
the discovery when he returned home
shortly after 10 o'clock, but the thief
had already left with his plumber.
1t is not the belief of the police that
the robbery was committed by the
men who have been entering grocery
stores. These thieves, who have thus
far eluded the vigilance of the police,
are still at large, but were inactive
Saturday and Sunday nights, as far as
the officers know. 1t has been the ex
perience of the police that when a Sc
rles of successful burglaries are COM
mitted robbery becomes epidemic, and
encouraged by the success of those
who take the initiative others get in
the game. Such appears to be the con-
dition of affairs at present and, while
the majority of robberies have proba-
bly, been committed by two negroes,
other thieves have been at work.
II was reported on the streets yes
terday that an attempt had been made
by negro to hold up a young lady in
'front.' of Christ Church Saturday night
out that she made her escape by run
nlng. An investigation showed the rumor
TO be untrue. The young lady was on her
way home, according to statement she
made to representative of the Morn
ing News, and was accosted by a negro,
who asked her for 10 cents.
There was patrolman in the square
