The trial of the case of the state against
nj. y. Hadsell, who is charged with grand
larceny and was to have been held yester-
day, has been postponed. The sitting of
the case was cancelled upon motion OF
the county attorney. Hadsell was wit
ness for the state in the case against
William St. Clair, who was acquitted yes
terday OF attempting to assist in a jail
delivery. Mr.. Breen said the case was
postponed largely on account of the abb
sence of Deputy County Attorney Yancey,
who is more familiar with the case
The prosecutor denied there was any in
tention OF dropping the case because Had
sell had been state witness. He adj.
mitted, however that a settlement OF the

EXECUTIVE POWERS

In his Chicago centennial speech the Mayor Of
New York, referring 10 the improvements in munIc-
ipal systems Of administration since the war. said
that one Of the principal tendencies is toward the
concentration Of authority in the city's chief execu-
tive officer. Contrasted TO this statement there =
the result Of a recent special election in Denver. at
which a new charter embracing this theory was
defeated.
The Denver draft provided for franchise referen-
dun. municipal home rule, civil service reform. con
c~entration of authority in the Mayor. and other mod
ern features. Among the provisions were some re
lating to dramshops, placing the minimum excise fee
at $1,000 per annum and arranging for local option
by precincts. By some municipalities the opinion IS
held that the defeat Of the charter was due to the
provision concerning the Mayors authority. but
there is some reason TO presume that the franchise
and ~dramshop provisions had more adverse in
fuence.
1t is hardly reasonable to deduce that the charter
failed Of adoption on account Of the section enlarg-
ing the Mayors authority, when the experiences OF
the larger cities are almost wholly favorable thereto.
If the proper man could always be elected Mayor.
his authority could scarcely be too great. However.
the proper man is not always elected, and therefore
there must be restrictions upon authority and means
of r., curse against acts which might be unpopular
or even TO public interests.
The Mayors authority should be enlarged. SO
that he may be free to act for the general good and
so that he may be more independent Of legislators
and politicians. And yet his authority must be sub
ject to reversal or curtailment by the qualified y-
tiers. in order that it may not be abused and in or.
der 10 minimize the temptations toward abuse.
The Mayor. being responsible for the adminIstra-
ton Of municipal affairs. is entitled to at least
equivalent authority. And. on the other hand. the
voters should not he left at the mercy OF the chief
executive officer. for. in many cases, character Is
not t~ruthfully disclosed until after election.

WORLD's-1oo4-FAIR
DARING %ToMFOOLERY.

The world at the present moment is deeply in
terested In aerial navigation. This ambition to soar
in the skies. however, has no connection with the
curiosity which enjoys these human bOmbshelr'
performances. The latter are very much on the or
der of the feat Of the idiot who swan the Niagara
rapids. he demonstrates no scientific principle
connected witt navigating the air, but panders TO
q taste which appreciates witnessing a needless risk
life.
He Is taken upward by a balloon. When high
in air, he allows himself to be shot out Of a kind
of bomb and drops, holding to a parachute. He is
but IS yearS old and bids fair not TO exceed that
age by any extensive margin, judging by the dan
gers which he courts.
\ His first attempt in st. Louis resulted in three
broken ribs and several cuts and bruises. Wednes-
day, in spite of his damaged condition, he insisted
upon making his ascension as per programme. The
wind swung his balloon from its course. 1t like
wise prevented a straight drop down with the para
chu-e. He was blown eastward and reached the
neighborhoOd Of terra frma at Thirteenth and Palm
streets. There his urnbrellRIike contrivance caught
on a chimney. He hung outward from the wall.
some twenty-five feet from the ground. Finally. in
an exhausted and fainting condition, he was rescued
by a policeman with a ladder.
The asininity of the thing utterly overshadows
the pluck which the youth exhibited in undertaking
another exhibition. after his failure and while still
suffering from painful injuries. The law should
prevent displays Of foolhardiness which are merely
spectacular and which, in encouraging emulation.
are as much an evil influence as in selling liouor 70
minors.

Donovan is 4 player in whom the public has con-

standard, whose statements about OBJECTIONS 10 the

luck and with poor material But his excuses are
I'll timed, since the fans are not inclined to be sat
isfed with eXCUses-Or promises.
As was said 10y The Republic in connection with
football, the principal object is to win games, and
not to trail along miSerably at the end OF the list.
In the matter Of baseball the issue is up TO the
club owners who cater 10 the publics love OF the
game. Donovan succeeds as well as anybody could,
but the "sinews Of war with which good players
are secured must he supplied. Otherwise, the bail
park patrons will find sources OF amusement other

Men are extremely sensitive to public
opinion. They care more for the respect
Of the outside world han women do. They
feel the sights Of club and business asso-
ciates. and in spite Of their reasoning pow
ers. which are supposed to be greater tl-sn
wOman's. they frequently blame the wom-
an who has been the cause OF their Unen-
viabIe position In these matters.
Before you give up your present misfor-
tunes for another mans love. think care
fully Of all these facts regarding the ways
Of a mans mind. The frying a may be
a most unpleasant dwelling place, but the
fire has never proven a better one. Be
quite sure you are TO leap into fresh air
and on a sound platform before you jump.
/ beueye in separation for wretched mar
ned people. I believe in divorce for the
people who have substituted hate for love.

pated and faithless brute. But / have also
known a number Of unhappy wives to fol-
low one unhappy marriage with a second
and TO find the joy and peace thsY expect
ed existed only in imagination.
I have known a divorced woman to be-
come utterly disiIlusioned with the man
Tor whom she gave up the worlds high
esteem. And when a woman reaches that
experience she becomes q Jest. Nothing
can ever restore the dignity OF true wom-
auh0Od to her again. Better be unhappy
than ridiculous.
