AssAuIr AID CoNsPIRAcY -.

ASSAULT AND CONSPIRACY LAW.
Congress ought to go slow in the
matter Of any special enactment of
federal statute applicable solely to a
conspiracy to assault or kill the presi-
dent or other federal officer. The
general government has jurisdiction
in all territories and dependencies, in
the district of Columbia and in all its
forts and national reservations. But
in all other places the states have sole
civil and criminal jurisdiction.
Therefore, to give the federal courts
under a special federal statute juris-
diction of crime committed in the
states would be dangerous stretching
Of the constitution and an abridge-
ment of the jurisdiction of the states.
Booth and the other conspiratOrs, and
Gitteau were dealt with by the federal
courts, in the case Of Lincoln and Gar
field, because the crime was committed
in the district of Columbia But the
courts Of Erie county, n. Y, were more
expeditions in the administration of
justice in the case Of the assassin of
President Mckinley than were the fed
eral courts in the two former cases. 1t
is not apparent that any special Iegis-
lation is necessary, or that simple as
sault on the president, or other feder-
al officer, be punished with death. 1t
is a fundamental principle of equity
that laws as well as courts should be
impartial.
Representative Lehman, of Texas
democratic member of the house Judi
ciary committee, presented the minor
ity report against the proposed bill to
punish conspiracy and assault on the
president, or other federal officer
which in part was as follows:
81 deny the proposition that one hon
est and lawabiding mans life is any
more sacred that that Of another. Any
officer Of our government is but the
servant Of the people, and the servant
cannot be greater than his lord The
holding or possession Of Office does not
of itself render any man impecable OF
immune from human frailties and i'm
projections. Public men among Us
can do wrong.
There Is no such thing as royalty OF
titled nobility, or hereditary preroga
tive in the United States. With tn,
United States there is no artificial dis
tinction and one man is as good as an
other, and as much sanctity surrounds
the life Of one as it does that Of an
other. The murder Of the humbles
citizen in our land is just as heinous
just as felonious as that of the creates
or most distinguished. Murder is mur
der upon Whomsoever inflicted and
human life is human life by whomso
ever enjoyed. The life Of the highes
officer in the country, or that of an
ambassador Of a foreign government
Is no more precious in the sight of Go
and republican man than is that o
the humblest and most insignifcan
resident of our great republic

Practical Critic.

From the Washington Post.
Two Indians were at the capitol yes
terday, seeing the sights. They gazed
at the senate and house with immOTable
countenances. Suddenly, however, they
discovered oyer a door leading from the
rotunda Of the house Of representatives
marble group representing white man
fighting with al Indian. The white man
has his gun appraised, wsrding Of the
Ratchet OF the Indian, which is about to
fall upon his head. The moment the
Indians saw this group their apathy dis
appeared. They stood for some time in
front Of the marble figures. talking earn
estly. what do they ssy?" some one
asked the guide. They say" was the
reply, shat the man with the gun could
never save himself unless be changed
his position. They say that the Indisr
can very easily take the white mans
scalp" Which shows that the untutoreC
red man is a critic from practical pOin
of view.

RAISE OF SALARIES


The senate last week passed Senator
Hears bill generally increasing the
salaries of judges of the United States
courts. The chief justice Of the
United States supreme court viii have
his salary raised from $4,000 to 3d.
600, and associate justices from $4,000
to $4,000. Circuit, judges are to be
advanced from 5000 to $500, but
their present expense allowance Of SO
q day when holding court away from
home is dispensed with. District jud.
ges are to be raised from 5000 to S.
80, having been raised some years ago
from $500 to 5000.
It is noteworthy that IN making up
the salary list for the Philippines and
Porto Rico civil governments fair sized
salaries were named. Gov. Taft, for
instance, gets $4,000 and the other
members Of the commission get $4,000
each. The secretary to the governor
gets s. 800 and the commissioners Of
public health gets 5000. All These
salaries are higher than those Of sen,
ators, Representatives and district
iudges.-Popeka Capital.

Topeka religious sentiment has suf-
fered a severe shock. One of the col
Iege students at Washburn prayed for
the success Of the college base ball
team the coming year, and ''fresh-
man" prayed that his class might beat
the "sOphs" at the annual scrimmage
in erecting the May pole. If prayer is
the souls sincere desire" the incOn-
gruity is not apparent, if the poet was
right. In the civil war both parties
prayed for the success Of our arms
and in South Africa and the Philip
pines the same thing is probably trans
piring at the present time.

Salaries OF Members OF Congress
Their have been no less than seven
enactments as to the pay of congress
men, and the emoluments Of senators
and representatives have always been
equal. In the first congress, in 1889,
the salary was fixed at IS per day, with
mileage at the rate Of IS for every %
miles Of necessary travel. This law
was repealed by the act of 1915, fixing
the salary proper at $500 year. The
act of 1917 made it s. per day, which
remained in force up to 1855 when the
salary was fixed at 5000 per year. In
1855 it was raised to 5000; in 1871 the
SALARY grab law" raised the amount tC
$500, but this was reduced to the
present amount Of 5000 salary and q

patron of MIR. Welles, but the latter
is willing to hit a patron in order

well known all over the county. and
