Bringing Of tho Smiths Into Court
Causes a Sensation.

Bringing Of tho Smiths Into Court
Causes Sensation.
New York, April %. The startling
declaration was made by Assistant
District Attorney Rand in the opening
address of the prosecution In the third
trial of Nan Patterson charged with
numbering Caesar Young that the re-
volver that killed this man was bought
by Joseph Morgan Smith.
Mr.. Rand's assertion caused the
greatest sensation In the courtroom.
Just before adjournment for the day
a second dramatic feature was fur
nished I'M the sudden appearance of j.
Morgan Smith and his wife. Police
man Quinn, who arrested Nan PatterS
son, told Of taking her to the station
and then to the coroner's court, where
Smith and his wife soon called in re-
sponse TO a telephone message.
Mr.. Garvans who was conducting the
examination, turned sharply and sig
nailed with his finger toward door at
the, rear Of the courtroom. The Smiths
entered.
Leading up to this climax earlier In
the day. Prosecutor Rand declared:
The defense maintains that there
are letters from Young alleging that he
would commit suicide If he had to give
up this woman.
Il await these letters. They have
never yet been produced.

American Steel Magnate Well Received
at st. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, April 25.-If appear
ances may be taken as an Indication,
Charles M. Schwab, has reason to, be
entirely satisfied with the result of his
visit, and negotiations have made such
rapid progress that be expects to, be
able to leave Within few days. 1t is
considered a great compliment to the
genius of American that the Russian
naval authorities desired to consult
Mr.. Schwab's opinion in regard to the
proposed building Of sea fighters.
Mr.. Schwab is being shown much at
tention. Grand Duke Alexis, high adj
miral, discussed with him for several
hours matters relating to Russia's am
bitious naval programme, which as ten
tatively elaborated by the technical
committee involves the expenditure of
$3.50, 100000 during a period Of ten
years. Mr.. Schwab has also conferred
with Admiral Doubassoff, head of the
technical committee;. Admiral Avellan,
chief of the admiralty. Admiral Wire
MUS, chief Of staff. and other promi-
nent naval officialsi
IN a general way it is believed that
certain arrangements touching Ameri-
ca's share in the construction which
must go to foreign yards have been al
ready agreed to in principle. The de-
tails. however, may require some time

THAT the populistic branch Of tn

THAT the populistic branch of the
Democratic party in this country has
still strong tendency toward Social
ism or anything else that will attract
votes is shown by the speeches made
at the Chicago Jefferson day meeting
Mr.. Bryan, at the Chicago dinner
spoke in favor of the ownership of the
great trunk lines Of railway by the
federal government, and that of the
local lines by the various states. In
the same tenor spoke Mayor Dunno,
who has the advantage Of winning a
victory on this public ownership idea
in its preliminary phase. " / am glad
that in the city of Chicago" said MT.
Bryan, "the Democratic platform was
broad enough to include not only the
public ownership of street car lines,
but the public ownership of lighting
plants and telephone systems"
On the other hand Ex-Candidate
Parker, in the New York assemblage,
condemned new fads,' meaning, of
course, the things for which ex-Candi-
date Bryan, Mayor Dunno and other
Democrats stand, He also cnsphati-
cally opposed Capitalization by the
federal goyernmenGyv p which is ore of
the things that the other two gentle
man advocate.
. Here is the irrepressfble conflict be-
tween the old and the,new Democracy.
The new Democracy controlled the
party in the campaigns of 1896 and
1900, nominated it's ticket and framed
its platform. 1t was beaten badly at
the polls. TIE old Democracy rallied
in 1904, chose the candidhUe and die
tated she platform. Its defeat at the
polls was more overwhelming than the
other faction enruunteredlin TIE pre-
ceding eanvasses4 There was a gulf
between the Democratic faetionBin all
those campaigns. The gule is broader
now than it has beem at any previous
time: Such differences as were shown
between the Parker and the RhyaD
ideBat the Jefferson banquets of 1905
are fundamental tDne wants the led
eral government to- interfere with
public activities lesssthan it dbes,nDw.
The ether wants it to- take charge. of
othes and larger activities There is,
no chance ion compromise or accom-
modaBiOn here. If either Of these
ideas is real Democracy the othsr
must be something widely difFerent..
No party oanput the Parker andithe
Bryan ideas ca the same banner OF, in
the same platform at the same time..
One mnst necessarily exclude the
other. One orthe Other'element must
be in tkR ascendant in tine partys and
control its machinery and name, it's

THERE has been considerable news
paper criticism within few days over
the fact that several bills have been
handed in TO the Governor with the
amendments written in, instead of
having the entire bill reprinted in or
der to insert one or two words. This
has been the custom ever since the
bills were printed, initial sheets, 7"
being part of the outfit of the super
visor of bills office. The Senate on
the last day of the session, when kill
was amended would adopt it and order
the amendment written inwhich was
done. The bill would then be com
pared in open session by the Secretary
and his assistant to see if it was cor
rect. The president Of the Senate
would put his initials opposite thu
amendment and sign certificate thai
the amendments initiated by m'
were duly adopted by the Senate.
The rules adopted by the houses TO
the regulation of the business are o
no concern to the governor who mus

law prohibiting bakers from COM
pelling their employees to labor more
than ten honrs day. A case grew
up under the law in Oneida County

The Appellate Court reatfirmed the
Judgment, and the case was carried tc

vinced of the paramount Importance
of Christian education the place where

GOVERNOR STOKES appointed two
Of his predecessors in office yesterday
as members of the commission auth
orized by the last legislature to inves-
tigate and report some method of inn
proving the judicial system and the
system of procedure in New Jersey.
The appointees are former Governor
John w. Griggs, former Governor
Franklin Murphy, former Justice Ben
nett VanSyckel. of the Supreme
Court; Charles L. Corbin, of Jersey
City, and John r. Hardin, of Newark.
Former Governor Murphy is the only
layman on the commission, the other
members being among the most prom
inent lawyers of the State.
The commission will present its de-
cision to the legislature, after consid-
ering the following proposition emu.
,merated in the bill under which it was
created:
How the system of courts can, by
constitutional amendment and by leg
islation, be better adjusted to the de,
mands of judicial business what
changes in the judicial system can bt
made TO prevent the use OF two Of
more legal proceedings to settle con
troversies which can be conveniently
settled in one, and in order to mini
mize delays due to litigations or OBJ
jections upon points OF procedure no
involving the substantive rights of tn
parties in what other respects TIN
system Of procedure can be made NOR
simple and certain; whether like de
fectS in similar judicial systems hav
been successfully remedied by othe
States, and, If so, what means?

THE constant, corrupt use Of money
at elections and the apparently un
checked spread of bribery, has driver
all the States to the enactment Of
laws providing heavy penalties foI
such crimes, but none quite so drastic
as that which has passed the New
York Senate and is now before the
Assembly. 1t provides that any quail
flied voter may petition justice of
the Supreme Court, or county judge,
alleging on information and belief cor
rupt practises in any election district
in the county in which he resides, de-
posting $3.50 as an evidence of his
good faith. Thereupon the justice or
judge is required to summon the chair
men Of the county committees of all
the parties, and also the candidates,
directing them to take part in an in
vestigatiOn. Pending this, the can
Vassing boards must cease from count
ing and returning the votes. No one
is excused from testifying. If the
justice or judge finds that corrupt
practises were employed by any one Of
the political parties, all the votes cast
for the candidates Of that party are
peremptorily thrown out. If single
candidate is, shown to be personally
guilty of corruption, or had knowledge
thereof, all votes cast for him are
thrown out and he is disqualified for
public office for five years. If both
parties are guilty, all their votes are
to be rejected. Singularly enough
the act, though passed by a Republi-
can Senate, was drawn by a Democrat,
none other than Judge Herrick the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
New York at the last election. 1t is
not improbable that the House will
pass it, and If Governor Higgins signs
1t there will be strange developments
at some Of the coming elections.
1t would seem as If there were laws
enough on the statute books at present
to reach every possible sort of political
corruption, but as laws do not enforce
themselves additional legislation will
not help matters. While people, gen.
orally, are ready to condemn men for
selling their votes public sentiment is
not sufficiently strong to compel many
good citizens to take an interest in
local elections unless they are person
ally interested. Right here in Norris
town we have scores Of intelligent
men who are very enthusiastic in ma
tional elections, yet when it comes to
a local election they stay away from
the polls. Is it any wonder, then,
that many ignorant men get the idea
that the right of franchise is to be
used for personal benefit, and prefer
the tangible dollar to the prospect of
boom in business or a rise in stocks E?
