1t j. unG erstOod that ex-senator
James. N. Jones, of Arkansas has
shaken the dust of that state off his
feet and will never again have q resi-
dence there. He hopes eventually to
be appointed member of the 18th
milan canal commission. Mr.. Jones
took his defeat for the senate very
hard. and would have preferred al
most any other man in Arkansas to
beat him than eX-Gov. Clarke. Clarke
hasn't yet made up with his colleague,
Mr.. Berry. and the chances are that
they will never speak while together
in the senate. Clarke's political side
partner in Arkansas is Gov. jeff Da-
Wis. Some of the knowing ones say
that Davis fixed the triggers for firing
Jones out and the ultimate object was
his own election as senator over Berry
two years hence.

Illinois Supreme Court All Right.

There are differences in the way
state supreme courts look at things,
as for illustration the respective atti-
'tudes of the tribunals of the states of
Missouri and Illinois on notable bril-
berry cases. The instance need hardly
be recalled wherein the highest law
giving authority in Missouri reversed
the lower court and gave freedom to
the convicted in a notorious case on
the strength of mere technicalitY.
Bat the Illinois supreme court has
re ri quite differently. In an opin-
ion just rendered in the Illinois SUI
preme curt in ease i'm which the
defeH@cH, was charged with soliciting
a bride for his influence and vote at
an election. the supreme court sus-
tanned the lower court which disfran-
chised the bribe-solicitor. and in an
opinion ON bribery condemned it as

Modern vs.. oid-Fashicned Powder

The subject of the pOwder-or, as ii
has been called. the spirit of artil-
IerN-cannot be overlooked in the eN-
animation of guns. John +. Meigs,
one of Americas foremost gunmaking
experts. has this to say on the sub
iect in the special number of Iron and
Steel. recently issued by the Scientific
American:
In the last few years the use of
so-called smokeless powder has be-
come universal. These are all nitro
cipaI characteristics, from an artillery
point of view, i the fact that the en-
tire weight. or very nearly the entire
weight. turns into gas. In the older
powders only about 90 per cent of the
weight was gasified. and the remain
ing 40 per cent was projected from
the gun in the form of dust. and con-
stituted Il considera BILE waste of en-
ergy. The point not entirely satisfac-
tory in modern powders is their con
stancY in pressure and velocity and
stability in storage. 1t is Il question
whether under the same conditions of
storage they are as stable and safe as
the old-fashioned powder. Indeed.
there i every reason to believe that
they are not as safe or as stable, and
they are watched with great care at
stated times when stored. incidental
~ this powder gives little or no
smoke. which * usually. but not al
ways. an advantage.

infamous in the following words:
The offense of bribery in elections
involves moral turpitude and falls
within the class of crimes deemed in
famous. and in both the constitution
of 1S4S and that of 1870 bribery was
SO classed by the people. In both in
struments bribery of all kinds, which
included bribery in elections, was
classed with perjury, as rendering the
offender infamous, one showing him
to be insensible to the obligations of
an oath. and the other alike insensi-
be 10 the obligations and duties of a
citizen. and unfit to exercise the cleo
tive franchise. We do not see how il
can be said that the trainers of the
constitution or the people did not in
tend that bribery in elections should
be included as an infamous crime
within the meaning of section :"
The country takes satisfaction, and
the honest people of the nation are
pleased with the attention that is to-
day being given bribery and corrup-
tion by the courts. both high and low.
and by good men and good institu-
tions generally.
1t is quite right, indeed, that bribery
should be regarded as an Infamous
crime rather than a tritiing Offense
from which the criminal may find
loop holes of escape. regardless of
the mountain of evidence that may be
built up against him.

81. Louis Republic: The republican
program may be completely cut and
dried. but it doesn't look that way
Roosevelt may see himself again lead
ing the party of perquisites first and
progress when it cant hold back. 1t
still seems that if his control is to
continue he must mount that broncho
and DO some of his toughest rough
riding. He must give the diSgruntled
faction of his party Il record-hrea king
taste of the strenuous life. Otherwise
to another republican may yet fall
the honor of being defeated by the
democratic nominee. The signs of gem
eral unr5 It, coupled with open revolt
against Roosevelt. lead some not
hasty politicians to believe that the
action of the next republican conven-
tion i by no means certain.
