WAS A LUCID EXPLANATION
Judicial Charge Which Lacked Moth
ing Of Plainness and Ex-
plieitnssa.

An English law journal attrib.
utes to an American judge down
south the following charge to a
jury in explanation OF the differ
ence between a verdict Of murder
and one OF manslaughter:
"Gentlemen," he stated, with ad.
mirable lucidity, murder is where
q man is murderOusly killed. The
killer in such a case is a murderer.
Now, murder by poison is Just as
much murder as murder with a
gun, pistol, OF knife. II Ia the sim.
pie act Of numbering that consti.
tutes murder in the eve Of the law.
Don't let the idea OF murder and
manslaughter confound YOU. Muir.
der Is one thing, manslaughter Is
quite another. Consequently, II
there has been murder, and II ia not
manslaughter, then IL must be-
murder.
sDon't let this point escape you.
selfmurder has nothing to do
with this ease, According To
Blackstone and all the best legal
writers, one man cannot commit
felo de Sc upon another; and this
is clearly my opinion. Gentlemen,
murder il murder. The murder of
a brother IA called fratricide; the
murder OF a father Is called parrl-
eide, but that don't enter into this
case. As have said before, muir
der is emphatically murder. You
will now consider your verdict,
gentlemen, and make up your
minds according 10 the law and the
evidence, not forgetting the ex.
PLANTATION have given you"

what the Editor Thinks.

That the last election was a COM
plete Republican victory, and an
appeal by the people for the poll
cies of the Republican party as ad-
ministered by Mckinley and Roose-
Welt. 1t was an approval of the
protective principles in taxation as
TO foreign commerce and the prin-
ciple Of encouragement as to domes-
TIC industries. twas a vote Of con-
fdence in u co'onial policy and a
sanction Of all that has been done
for the development and govern
ment Of our island possessions. 1t
sustains the administration IN its
army and navy improvements and
enlargement, and plainly says that
while we want no wal with any ma.
ton, we must be prepared for il
when 1t comes. That purity.In pub
lie affairs must be maintained, and
that corrupt practices must be pun
ished whenever and wherever dis.
covered. That the law must b
obeyed by all alike, rich or poor
black or white, north or south.

LITTLE WILLIE"
WAS THE MONKEY
HEARST FAILED TO CAPTURE
KANSAS DELEGATION BUT
FORCED A COMPROMISE.
Gets Two Of the Six Delegates to the
St. Louis Convention-Claude Dr.
val Elected Chairman and DecIar-
ed That All Kansas Democrats Are
Kansas City Platform Democrats.

Wichita, Kas., April 7.-Hearst's ef-
fort to capture the Kansas delegation
to the democratic national convention
failed today. After a preliminary
struggle %unequaled in intensity the
best his lieutenants could do was to
effect a compromise by which they
get two of the six delegates. J. G.
Johnson of Peabody and Hugh Far
reilly of Chanute will be Hearst dele
gates. The Hearst forces received
their first blow last night with the Sc
lection by the state committee of
Claude Duval of Hutchinson as tenn
porary chairman, though Duval was
not even a delegate to the convention.
Today's compromise was arranged in
consideration of the Hearst people not
opposing Duval as chairman.
When the convention opened Duval
was elected chairman according to the
decision of Farrelly. chairman of the
state committee, who apparently
thought the heavy vote cast against
him did not constitute n majority.
Duval declared that all Kansas demo-
Gratis are now Kansas City platform
democrats, and after the national con
vention will be St. Louis platform dem
ocrats. He mentioned Hearst and
Parker in his speech and a great dem.
onstration ensued. Following will be
the six delegates at large: Ex-senator
Harris, David O~vermeyer, Mack Love,
C. w. Brandenburg. Frankfort and
Johnson Ferrelly.
OF the fourteen district delegates,
Hearst will probably have six, making
eight in all for him. AS the delega-
ton is apt to l\e bound by the unit
rule, the anti-Hearst forces may have.
complete control.
