Imneachment Of Sheriff Rodgers.

Amid the acts of omission and com
mission committed by the last legis-
lature appears the fact that no stat
ute was passed relating to the I'M
peachment of sLeriffs. The constitu-
ton of 1901 provides, however, for
their trial before the justices OF the
Supreme court. who are to proceed
to try them under articles OF I'M
parchment, which is big phrase tan
tamount to an indictment.
A clear provision Of the constitution
is self-operative no doubt, and the
Supreme court will probably nave no
difficulty In trying an impeachment
case unaided by statutory provisions.
The deficiency is but another Illus
tration OF the deficient work OF the
regular session of the legislature. The
new constitution is not much more
than one-halt in operation.
Governor Cunningham has, howev-
or, ordered Attorney General Wilson
to proceed at once to bring Sheriff
Rodgers before the Supreme court,
statutes or no statutes. The proceed
ings will be taken under the constitu-
tional provision only, and the highest
court of tho state will have to make
a plan of procedure as 1t goes along
Sheriff Rodgers will be tried, not for
what he did, but for what he did not
do in the face of wild-eyed senseless
mob, and the case will certainly be-
come historic in the annals of the
state. Governor Cunningham's brave
course deserves high commentator.
He stands for law and against an
archy, and ne will doubtless have the
lpport of the great court in which
the Rodgers case will be tried. The
information at hand, gathered by the
grano jury that recently sat at Hunts
vile, will be utilized, and It will be
found to constitute pretty lively in
Lictment.

can the American people demand of the
safety and fitness of Alton d. Parker

NATIONAL POLITICS.
A Business Mans Letter.

From the Boston Post.
The Hon. Henry G. Davis, democratic
candidate for viee-presldent, accepts the
nomination in letter which has all the
blunt directness of an experienced and
successful man of business. There are
no bubbles in 1t, no fine-drawn theories.
Mr. Davis goes right to the point. The
people demand, he says, that the present
wasteful extravaganza in the expenditure
of money drawn by taxation from the
industry Of the people shall cease. and
that economy and honesty in the public
service shall be again regarded as vir-
tues In the high places of the government.
In business-like way, he points out
the evidences of extravaganza. Nothwith-
standing the enormous revenue from tax
alton there is a constant deficit which
will probably reach S14o,0OO,OOO in the cur
rent fiscal year. Because of this taxation,
the cost Of government has grown from
1929 per capita in 1892 to $714 in 1904, an
addition Of $40 per year for each average
family.
Where is this going to stop II President
Roosevelt is to be reelected to keep on,
as he says, in the same way the party In
power has been going?
