Some years ago an out-of-the-way

know took up the subject OF min
ister's work. and one of the delegates
asked the conference what II thought
a pastor ought to do to employ his time
when he wasn't preaching. There was
a division of votes upon the matter Of
remuneration; most OF the pastors
thought money-making labor should be
eliminated, but II was finally decided
that general farming was compatible
with the spiritual state necessary on
Sunday; that store-keeping wasn't.

DEFENDANT UNDEFENDED SENT TO JAIL


One of the most peculiar trials ever
witnessed in local courts came to an
end last evening before Judge De Bolt
when jury found George Harrison
guilty Of attempting to shoot his wife.
Trial commenced in the morning and,
although defendant was to all intents
and purposes undefended, he was con-
victed and sentenced before night. Jury
recommended mercy" and Judge De
Bolt sentenced Harrison to one years
imprisonment and to pay one dollar.
Harrisons counsel, through the trial,
was indisposed AID not at his best. Har-
rison was not defended. II was the re-
mark OF spectators that the trial ought
to have been stopped; that Harrison
vas entitled to defense. Judge De
Bolt had frequently to remind the
prosecution not to lead witnesses. De-
PENDANT had every possible disadvant-
age; prosecution took every advantage.
George Harrison had no defense ex-
cept his own clear statement from the
witness box. AS reported yesterday
i circumstances were such that the de-
PENDANT not only deemed 1t wise to
discharge his counsel, Henry Hogan,
In open court, but Judge De Bolt cited
Hogan for contempt on account of his
condition as to sobriety. You are no
longer in this case" said the Judge,
addressing Hogan, you will appear
here at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning to
answer for your conduct" This was
after the prosecution had rested and
the evidence for the defense was sup
posed to come on.
Il am perfectly willing to fight my
own case" said Harrison to the court
But Deputy Attorney General w. 5.
Fleming, prosecuting. asked that the
court appoint counsel and suggested f.
Long. Long apparently knew nothing
OF the case. He commenced by ad-
dressing the defendant as Mr.. Harris. y
He did not even know his clients name
and could hardly have been expected
to learn the case at a minutes notice.
During a five minutes recess, while the
jurors were In the lobby, there were
murmurings Of protest, the feeling

PARKER HELD TO ERR.

When those anti. imperialists from
Boston went to Esopus last Saturday
and asked Judge Parker il he intended
to give Independence to the Filipinos
he should have said:
"Gentlemen, from long judicial ex.
perience I know how unwise it Ia to
decide q case before hearing the evil
dence and arguments. l would like
to have your votss, but I can make no
pledge. except that I will try to do
my duty and obey the Constitution
and the laws. If elected president, !
will make q thorough inquiry into con.
ditions in the Philippines and the
needs Of the people, and will do what
seems to be right. To this time I
have had no opportunity to inform
myself and have had no time for re-
Election. As q matter Of principle, I
believe that governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed, bus I should not include
inmates of prisons, asylums or aims
houses. the denizens of tenement houses
in the slums, une6ucated Indians nor
Philippines, who cannot read or write
and do not wear clothes. AS an
eminent friend has said. 1t is o con-
aition and not . theory that confronts
Us, and before declaring . policy 1
must ascertain whether the Filipinos
are capable Of judging what is best for
themselves. and if 90, whether they
consent to the exercise of authority
w them BY the United States, or
whether they prefer another form Of
government. I will do what I think
is just and for the welfare of all con.
cerned. x would rather be right than
be President"
Had Parker made such . speech "a
that he would have commanded the
respect and confidence of every sensi-
BILE man in the United States, and
would have made many votes for the
Democratic ticket; but, in :.order to
please . few admirers. he decided the
destiny and imperiled the welfare of
several millions Of people without re.
gard to the facts or considering the I
consequences. He Accuses President
Roosevelt of reckless speaking. but
Roosevelt never made half Is reckless
. speech. Judge Parker demonstrated
with his own tongue that he is not
ft to exercise the authority and assume
the responsibiliti es of the Presidency.

MICKEY on TRIAL.

Do you remember that You voted
against Judge Reese . few years ago.
because the fusion papers referred to
him a. . railroad tool?
Do you not remember that you
elected Judge Holcomb. whose admin.
istration gave the railroads tho lowest
assessment they have had for years,
and who had his pockets filled with
passes while Judge Reese has always
consistently refused to accept railroad
passes?
Who dictated the fusion argument
that Reese was u "railroad tool:
The railroads. Why? In order to elect
their man Holcomb
Who is debating the argument that
Mickey is RAILROAD tool" and .
hypocrite? The railroads.. Why: In
order to elect their man Berge.
When you read those tales of how
Mickey foreclosed mortgages against
widows, just analyze them and see If
Mickey did not act a you would have
him rs a banker. If he were leaning
you money.
When the editor of the Telegram
tells you that Mickey is responsible
for tho vice in Omaha through his
appointees on the fire and police com.
mission, ask the editor Of the Tele.
gram it he Y fled . complaint,
according to law, against any men,
Der OF that commission. for permitting
gambling in the rooms of the Jack
sonian club? If he never fled such .
complaint, he car not object to these
illegal practices, for members Of the
fire and police commission can be dis.
charged only after . written com.
plant has been filed against them.
And perhaps it is not out Of place
to suggest that some people visit
Omaha without finding out all these
places of vice.
Finally, il Won believe Mickey 10 the
enemy of the ministers and the friend
of the brewers. just read the follow.
ing letter which the Journal received
from one of the leading clergymen of
Omaha:
ION receiving your letter and the
clipping above referred to I called up
BY phone prominent clergymen of
the Presbyterian, Congregational,
Baptist, Episcopalian, Roman Cath
Ollie and Methodist Episcopal churches
reading to them tho statement of
1.-TWO Omaha ministers of the gospel
making q canvass etc. and. in every
case they assured me that they knew
nothing whatsoever Of sucl, . canvas
and that my mentioning it was the
first intimation they had received of
any such interest on the part OF clergy
men. The Y. N. O. A. assistant sec-
Rotary also answered to the same
affect.
One minister laughed and faid
~''evidently that is q campaign lie. and
all breathed the same spirit though
they did not answer in quite 60 plain
and unmistakable words. l firmly
