WANTS
RELEASE
CANCELLED
Arguments In tho Case Of Alice
German vs.. Edward McCabo
Heard by C0uTt.

Arguments were made today before
Chief Justice Stiness and Justices TIL
linghast and Rogers i'm the appellate dtvi-
sion OF the supreme court on respond
ent's demurrer in the equity cause or
Alice German VS.. Edward McCabe
This is a suit brought TO obtain the can
collation. of "A release under seal purport-
ing to have been executed by the com
plainant. and purporting to release the
respondent as executor OF the will Of the
late Dennis German from all claims that
the complainant as resduary legatee un-
der said will might otherwise have against
the respondent arising out of such ex-
ecutorship.
The cancellation OF the release is prayed
on the ground OF constructive fraud aris-
ing from the iiduciary relations OF the
parties and lack OF consideration.
The grounds OF demurrer are that the
estate OF Dennis German and It's admin
istration Is now pending in the municipal
court. That for all matters Of the bill
OF complaint the complainant can have
full relief I'm the municipal court and the
appellate court has not. or at least will
not. take jurisdiction. Tho respondent
cites I'm support OF his demurrer Dean VS..
Rounds. IS r. !. Blake vs. Butler. 10 II. L..
and the unreported case OF Staples VS..
Staples.
To the demurrer the complainant replies
that the bill shows such a relation be-
tween the respondent and complainant as
makes the transaction which this bill i'm
peaches fall within the jurisdiction of
equity over constructive frauds"
As the release could not be avoided II
set up in bar 10 an accounting i'm the pro-
bate court or I'm suit at law on the
ground OF constructive fraud" hence the
complainant is entitled To relief in equity
and also that the release may be sur
rendered on the ground OF quia tinet lest

municipal court such release might be
produced and used as a defence.
Robert w Burbank and Herbert A.
Blake are solicitors for the complainant

The Independent holds that prin
ciples which appeals to mans ma
terlal wants are Identical with those
with which one wouId appeal to Il
hog. Therefore any voter who
has permitted himself to be intlu-
enced by the Republican principle
that full dinner pail is more
desirable adjunct towards making
up the material welfare of man
kind than an empty one, is, in the
opinion of our friend up the street,
upon an intellectual level with the
hog. We would like to ask our
friend if he is speaking as an in
dividual or whether he is voicing
the views, in this respect, of all
Democrats! VIII the prospective
Democratic candidates for the coun-
ty offices endorse the sentiment
expressed by the independent?
The first wants of man are ma
teriaI and every effort he makes
is, primarily, intended to keep
those wants supplied. The Amcri-
can laboring man who finds his
three square meals coming regu-
larly and to his family likewise, is
in better condition to form his
political convictions than if he had
| feas.cd only upon sentiment.
Democratic theories of government
if they cannot fill the dinner pail,
are not convincing to one whose
material needs depend upon bis
physical effort. For this reason
the Republican party is in power
today. A few years ago the pco
pie voted the Democratic party into
power as an experiment and feast
ed upon empty sentiment for four
or five years in consequence. They
marched in a grand army upon
the national capital TO appeal tc
the powers there for something
more material, and all they go1
was an injunction to ''keep off tho
grass" This was not satisfying
to our Democratic friend UP the
street even, whose craving for the
material things of life were no less
than those of the men who
matched in General Coxey's army
He and his ilk renounced and dc
nounced their previous convictions
and absorbed fresh lot Of noli
tical views from Mr.. Bryan. One
experiment with democracy was
enough for the country however
Windpudding, let it he favored
with CIevelanflism or Organism
was rejected for the more substan-
tial things in the full dinner pail.

Senator Farris is lobbyist all
right enough, but it must be re.
Membere.l that there was nc
protest from the ringster party
against Farris' lobby work during
the last session of the legislature.
At that time the Dockery admins
tration was working harmoniousIy
with the doodle senators and repre-
sentatiyes in giving the corpora
tions pretty nearly everything
they asked for, and which was
paid for in advance by contribu
tions to the Democratic campaign
fund. So far as we can see the
Dockery crowd is smudged as
black with lobby corruption as
Senator Farris is. The peopl.
should fire the whole gang.

The Independent dramatically

They are still unrefuted, those
discrepancies in the state auditors S
books, and no attempt is being
made to refute them. The state
house ring takes refuge in silence,
probably because it has nothing
better to offer in explanation. The
Democratic party press makes no
effort to disprove the Republican
contention that large holes exist in
reports of the auditor, but resort
to ridicule to discredit the charges
of the Republicans. The grandi
loquent utterances in the ringster
party's state platform are intend
ed to icon" the people into quies-
cencc until another election is over.
The policy of the party is to make
no explanations, but devote every
effort to secure another lease of
power. 1t viii! call this a vindica-
ton Of its conduct of the state af
fairs, and the truth will be hidden
as before. Nothing will ever bring
the actual facts to light but an
overthrow of the Democracy. A
