In the Cnse OF Editor shepherd.

In the Case OF Editor shepherd.
Jefferson City, Mo. Oct. 1.-THE
state supreme court handed down its
decision in the case OF Editor Sheph-
erd, the Warrensburg newspaper man
who was fined $500 several months ago
on the charge of contempt In that he
published an article attacking the
court, The opinion, which Is written
by Justice Marshall, and concurred In
by all the other judges, is very lengthy
and cites cases, beginning with the
time Of Caesar, TO show that this court
has the inherent power and jurlsdlc-
ton to punish contempt summarily,"
After saying that the article In Shep-
herds paper had In reality attacked the
honesty, integrity and purity os every
branch Of the state government and
OF the several officers, II continues. III
these charges are true, the persons who
are thus charged should be prosecuted
and removed from Office, On the 9TH
or hand anyone who makes such
charges should be prepared TO make
some sort OF a decent showing OF their
truth" Judge Marshall says that In
stead OF proving his charges or max
ing the amende honorable" by with
drawing them and apologi2ing for his
offcnse, Shepherd challenged the jurs-
diction Of the court and sought to es-
cape on technical grounds. The action
Of the court in nning Editor Shepherd
is upheld.

JAPAN READY FOR
WAR WITH RUSSIA
Situation Still Critical and Slightest
Move Will Open Hostilities.
UNCLE SAM WATCHING EVENTS
Japan Is Determined to Hold Corca,
and VIII surely Spin Blood TO
Prevent the Car From In
fringing on Her Rights.

London, Oct. l4.-The situation in
the east has not relaxed in the least,
according to present information, and
Japan and Russia are still on the edge
of war.
Japan seems determined to hold to
her theory of non-interference in Ash
attic geography by western powers.
Japan's especial concern is with COrea,
and the displaying Of naval force by
Russia in the eastern waters seems to
the Japanese government an infringe.
ment of their rights to that peninsula.
The continuance of Russias aggres-
sions in Manchuria in connection with
the mobilization of her squadrOns of
ships in Chinese waters aggravates the
situation as far as Japan IS concerned,
Public opinion in that country sup
ports the belief that the ear intends
to destroy the political and territorial
integrity of COrea, and Japan will
surely spill blood to prevent such a
calamity.
According to popular belief in Japan,
Corea must either remain independent
or else become Japanese.
This is as Yirile principle in the
Flowery Kingdom as the Monroe doc
trine in America.
For that principle Japan fought
China, and that principle they could
not relinquish, though the Muscovite
force war Her people are eager to
take any risk they deem necessary for
the nations honor and existence, even
to the extent of fighting the mighty
power Of Russia.
