The full opinion of the United States
District Judge Cochran in the Caleb
Powers case shows that the ground on
which he relied mainly for taking juris-
diction is the persistency with which
the jury panel was packed against Pow
cas- in his three State trials.
The officers summoning the jurymen
passed over Republicans uniformly and
summoned Goebel Democrats to try
Powers. His counsel challenged the
entire venire, but was overruled. On
appeal, the highest court of Kentucky
decided that under the law of Kentucky
the decision of the lower court in chal-
lenges to the panel could not be over
ruled. Though the verdict was set
aside on other grounds, the jury panel
may still be made up exclusively of
Goebel Democrats and if the trial
Judge approves of this as before and
no other ground for appeal is found,
Mr.. Powers will have to accept the GER
tain condemnation of this packed jury,
For this reason the United States Dis
trict Judge decides that Powers in the
State court of Kentucky is denied the
equal protection of the law and his
right as an American citizen under the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution. The Supreme Court of
the United States is asked to override
Judge Cochran's decision and remand
Caleb Powers to the State court Of
Kentucky. AS the voluminous testi-
mony in the case shows that this would
be conserving to his judicial murder, it
is hardly thinkable that the impartial
but human jurists of the Federal Su-
preme Court will consent to facilitate
such proceeding. 1t may be difficult
to find the general principle of law that
will exactly fit such an exceptional case,
but great jurists can generally see a
way to do justice in spite of legal diff
culties.
The temper of Caleb Powers enemies
is seen in their reception of him in the
Newport Jail. AS Powers is now a
Federal prisoner, the United States
marshal proposed to place him in a cell
fitted up so that he could have a few
of the decencies and comforts of life.
The Mayor of that town invaded the
jail and forcibly consigned Powers to a
room where he would have the company
of the ordinary criminals, mostly ne
groes. AS Powers has been a prisoner
for five years, and as his case will take
a long time yet for its final determine
ton, even under the best conditions, 1t
is of Importance whether ne is to be
herded with tramps and thieves or treat
ed decently.
A man can be broken down and killed
by method of imprisonment more slow
ly but not less certainly than by a
Jury. The United States marshal will,
we have NO doubt, secure decent treat
ment for his prisoner, and just men will
hear with equanimity the unhappy fact
that the Mayor of Newport, who was so
determined that Powers should not have
the separate and decent cell which the
United States Government was paying
for. had his front teeth knocked out
when he unwisely resisted the United
States marshal.

The Right Of Way.
York Dispatch.

York Dispatch.
1.-THE pedestrian Is a nuisance" de-
clared H. Sturmey, at meeting in Eng
land of the Society of Motor Manufac-
turers. He continued by demanding
that those who travel afoot by night
shall carry lighted lamps in their hats.
These remarks were made to be taken
seriously, and were gravely discussed
by those present at the meeting.
Now the old rule which the law re-
cognized was that pedestrians had the
right Of way, and that conveyances Of
whatever sort were bound to recognize
this preference,
But In the last several decades there
has grown up the idea that people afOot
have no right which drivers are bound
to respect. In the large cities, for in
stance, people cross streets whenever
or however they may, and in doing so
take their lives In their own hands. AS
a matter of fact, the theory now Is that
vehicles have the right of way, and that
the pedestrian must worm his way
through, running and doding and all at
his own peril. Perhaps it is necessary
in the new order of things, but it repre-
sents an entire change of theory,
Before the motor car age struck US
the attitude of the riding world towards
the walks was one Of tolerance. But
the motor car has changed the pedes-
trian from nuisance to be borne to
nuisance to be abated. And the reason
is apparent. If a pedestrian is ridden
down it spoils the pleasure of the motor
ist, causes him to lose time and posi-
bly, fine,
If motor cars multiply and find it
necessary to run at the rate of twenty
five miles an hour, then pedestrians
along the same highway are an imper-
thence.
Of course there is a class which can't
always ride, since they are unable to
own motor cars; therefore, the best we
ando is to formally enact law de-
claring that while pedestrians may use
the public highways, they do SO at their
own peril. And prohibiting officers of
law from stopping and annoying motor
lists who happen to run down an old
woman or a child which is impertinent
enough to cross the road in the path of
so-called red devils.

Nottaway court house, after a recount
of those ballots had been asked for by
the Independent Democrat who had run
against Judge Mann for the State
Senate. The recount would have
defeated Mann, but the theft of the
ballots prevented the recount, and he
took a seat in the Legislature with that
knowledge.
This is only small part Of the dirty
linen of the Virginia Democracy that is
being exposed and washed. If it could
all be gathered in one pile and washed
at single washing, it would pollute a
crystal stream with volume that
equals the Father Of Waters.

Discreditlng Molly.
Montgomery Advertiser.

| montgomery Advertiser.
The wicked iconoclasts are at it again.
For more than century and quarter
the story of Molly Pitcher has been Jas
sacred and as firmly established in the
minds and hearts of the American peo-
pie as that Of Paul Revere of John
Stark. We have all read about the bat
tie of Monmouth, and how Molly's hus-
band was killed by the side Of his can
non, how Molly took his place and serv-
ed the gun through the battle, and how
Washington gave her commission as
sergeant for her bravery. All this Is
familiar history, but now comes the
Butter Inter-Mountain with this:
One version given some credence is
that Molly's husband was intoxicated in
the battle and that Molly CHANGED that
way, in search of her Grant spouse.
Seeing him limp beside his gun, Molly
had taken up hammer, with a view to
awakening the valiant Pitcher by a
crack over the head. A regiment of
charging British, seeing Molly's wild
eyes and savage mien, believed she had
assumed charge of the battery and fed,
Molly, quite unconscious of how she had
turned the tide and won for Washing,
ton thereupon dragged Pitcher off in
triumph to a neighboring we'll, where
she sobered him up.
Isn't that calculated to knock hole
in ones faith? 1t turns one of the most
romantic incidents Of our Revolutionary
history into thoroughly commonplace
combination of drunkard and virage. 1t
dislocates all our reverence for patrio-
tism and courage and marital devotion.
That is, it would do so if we believed it,
which we lack very much of doing. We
are not going to have our faith in Molly
busted in any such way.
Nor will the people of Carlisle, Pa,
take any stock in the Islander, They
firmly believe that Molly's remains rest
in their town and on the strength Of
that belief they paid due honors to her
memory on the first Sunday in July, In
fact, we are told that her grave was
marked with impressive ceremonies.
the account states. That was the way
to do it and we beg to thank the good
people of Carlisle for it.

NO USURPATlON.

The Southern Democratic papers, as
rule, admit that Caleb Powers has
not received fair trials in the State
courts of Kentucky, but they are of
opinion that the removal of his case to
Federal court is an act of usurpation.
The Richmond News Leader says:
cit is only when an officer or agent
of the Federal government, in the per-
Torrance of his official duties, is in
volved, or when some special law of the
Federal government is supposed to be
violated that the Federal government
or its courts has any right to interfere
with the courts of justice within a
State"
1t is only recently that Democrats or
Democratic newspapers have even ad-
mitted the law to be as above stated by
our Richmond contemporary. When a
Federal Judge was assaulted or threat
ened with assault in California and the
assailant was killed by U. S. Mar
shall. the Democrats denied that the
Federal courts had jurisdiction to try
the marshal. They said then it was
usurpation for Federal court to take
jurisdiction. Other cases have since
arisen wherein she Democrats made
the same contention. The Sixth
amendment to the Federal constitution
was adopted and ratified by all the
States Of the Union. That amendment
says:
"In all criminal prosecutions the ac-
cused shall enjoy the right to speedy
and public trial, by an impartial jury Of
of the state and district wherein the
crime shall have been committed.
What was the amendment made for,
and why was it adopted, if not for just
such cases at that Of Caleb Powers?
He did not have and could not get a
trial before fair and impartial jury,
and not even before fair and impair
tial court. This our Democratic con-
temporaries are forced to admit, but
they are so wrapped up in their ultra
states rights doctrines that they
are willing to see a man judicially muir
dered rather than have those supposed
rights invaded,

MlLlTARIsM RESPONSIBLE.
The Prevalence of High-Heeled Shoes
Among Women Attributed
to This Reason.

women will wear high-heel shoes
until they choke. Men will continue
to wear that style of a shoe, but not
to the extreme as practiced by the
women" said a dealer recently, relates
the Detroit Free Press. "High-heel
shoes have taken hold of the Amer
lean shoe wearers in great style and
will continue to be the rage for years.
81 believe that the high-heel shoe
will never see its end. All future
styles will be made with this as one
Of the features. They are harmful in
a way, but men are not breaking down
as are women who wear stills. The
men are more conservative in the
height of the heel, but some little
snip of a youth will wear a. pair Of
shoes with heels as high as allowable,
and the women will go him one better.
The low, fiat heel shoe is the best OF
any for health, but you cannot sell .
shoe of this style at present. The
high-heel rage is extending even to the
old men.
THE whole cause of It may be laid
to the sweep of militarism which
passed over this country few years
ago. Clothing had to be made to con-
form with soldierly ideas, and shoes
must necessarily follow in the next
period. We may say that the high
heel shoe is the only part of our wear
ing apparel called for by public opin-
ion which will remain in the style for
wears to come"
