There are a good many possibilities
in this situation. The court may re-
quire the services of the sheriff to en-
force its orders. and the sheriff may
need the help of the National Guard
In carrying out the orders of the court.
This is only one of the possibilities,
but it is not regarded as probability
at this time. The fact that Judge Piety
refused to grant an injunction in favor
of Mayor Bidaman, some time back, is
taken as an Indication of what he will
do in the present case.

Madison, Wis. July 3.-The trial Of
with offering bribe to State Insur-
ance Commissioner Host in connection
with his ruling in the Equitable Life
Assurance society case regarding dis
tribution of dividends in 1903, has been
begun in the municipal court. A jury
was secured without trouble. Houser
was in conversation with his attorneys
during the selection of the jury and
made suggestions in regard to names
that should be stricken. Host, the COM
planning witness in the action. sat at
the side of District Attorney Gilbert
throughout the entire proceedings.
Would Quash the Indictment.
The attorneys for the defendant filed
a motion to quash the Indictment on
two counts-frst, that the information
does not state facts sufficient to con-
stitute IN offense; second. that it is bad
for duplicity, in that two distinct of
fenses are charged in one count. The
motion will come up for argument at
the close of the trial The district at
torney made the opening address to the
jury. outlining what the state expected
to prove. He consumed about thirty
minutes in making the statement, de

stances of the case as brought out in

Statement for the Defense.

Attorney Jones followed for the de-
PENDANT. Most of the allegations Of
the state would be admitted by the de-
Tense. Attorney Jones said, and the
case would be confined within mar
row scope. Jones admitted that Robt.
I.uscombe. the Equitable Life Assur-'
ance society attorney, had called on
Houser at his office in the capitol and
left piece Of paper with the request
that he take it to Host. Houser carried
the paper to Host, the attorney said,
but had not said anything about a con-
tribution of $1,000 by the Equitable to

defense would contradict Hosts state

The first witnesses was Captain Mad

the stand and repeated the testimony
which he gave before the legislative

Milwaukee several weeks ago, includ-

Thought No Time should BE Lost.


Judge Piety, however, thought there
would be lessening Of danger if the
case were determined more speedily and
he would have rendered a decision to-
day, possibly, but for the death of his
father. The city laborers have been
paid, City Treasurer Ray settling the
warrants after they had been assigned
to him. and there will be no suffering
among the city employees for their
wages and salaries.
Some Troubles Ahead. FeEfzs
But the trouble is that the police
force is badly demoralized. The police
department is behind Bidaman. the de-
posed mayor. If Judge Piety dissolyes
the temporary restraining order and
Buckinham becomes mayor, he will ap-
point a police department, and unless
the present policemen obey his orders
the city of Terre Haute will have two
police forces-as indianapolis had a
good many years ago when the metro
politan law went into effect.

The ConstitutionnI Conven,,oD.

1t was as a member of the Federal Con-
stltUuonal convention Of 1857 that James
Wilson performed the services which won
for him foremost place among the great
est of our constitutional lawyers. OF him
McMaster, the historian, has said, that of
all the fifty-eight delegates "he was un-
doubleday the best prepared, by deep and
systematic study Of the history and science
of government, for the work that lay be-
fore him."
Nor did he shirk his duty. There was
scarcely a debate of Importance in which
he did not bear a notable part. His activ-
fly is shown by the fact that with the ex-
ception of Gouverneur Morris he made the
greatest number of speeches in the con-
vention. Morris made 173 speeches, Wilson
1853 and Madison ISL. But mere readiness in
debate did not secure him the pre-eminence
that he achieved. He was as ingenious
and resourceful in mis- expedients, as cogent
and convincing in his arguments, and as
acute in his criticisms as any of his col
leagues.
No member more forcibly or more fire.
quently gave proof of his faith in a true
democracy and in a willingness to entrust
the real power to the people. The division
of congress into two houses, the establish
ment of an electoral college, provision for
the impeachment of the president the
guarantee of republican form Of govern
ment in all the states, the establishment
of a national judiciary, were some of the
important provisions, which, II he did not

originate, at least owe their Incorporation

other proposals Of his, such as the popular
election OF senators, were sacrificed in the
compromises
Finally, he was a member Of the all inn
portant committee on detail, and bore
prominent part in putting the great instru-
ment into its final form. Certain 1t is that
many Of his political theories were gem
erations ahead Of his time, and, again, to
quote McMaster, many of the great prtn-
ciples Of government advocated by him, we
as a nation, are only beginning to apply.
In nothing, perhaps, was his foresight
clearer or more remarkable than in his rec
ton of the problem involved in the rela-
lions between state and nation. Il am for
a national government" he said in the
course of debate, but not for one that
will swallow up the state governments.
Later he wrote to Washington THE most
intricate and the most delicate questions
in our national Jurisprudence will arise
in running the lines between the authority
OF the national government and that OF
the several states" It is peculiarly APP
propriate that attention should have been
attracted to his political teachings today.
For as writer in the current North
American Review points out 1.-THE true
value of Wilson is that his
doctrine of constitutional Interpretation IS
big with possibilities for the future, and
potent to prove the solution for every
constitutional problem involved in the deli
cate questions resulting from state indi-
viduality and national sovereignty"
The constitution completed, Wilson de-
voted his energies to securing its adoption
by Pennsylvania In the next year, as a
member Of the state convention, he drew
UP the new constitution for Pennsylvania.
In October, 1882 however, putting aside the
certain prospects Of becoming one of the
great leaders of the federalist party in
the nation, he accepted President Wash
ington's appointment as an associate JUS
tice Of the new federal supreme court to
service in which he devoted the remaining
nine years Of his life by no means the
least valuable in service to his country.
He died while on circuit at Edenton, N. c.,
in 179S.-New York Post.

In that body he served with great dis
tinction until September, IN when fac
tional opposition led to his temporary re-
tirement His attitude during the stirring
period was marked by that spirit OF ju-
dicious conservatism always needed in such
emergencies to prevent revolution from
running to riot Naturally he was dis
trusted by the radicals and the headstrong.
His wide knowledge Of history and Of the
course Of former great struggles for polit-
ical rights made him shrink from resort
TO the arbltrament Of arms. and up to the
very last moment he resisted the idea Of in
dependence. Convinced at length that no
other course was possible. he was one OF
the first Of the Pennsylvania delegates to
support the Declaration, which instrument
he afterwards signed.
The die once cast, he willingly risked his
life in the cause of his new country, and
during the New Jersey campaign Of 1776 he
commanded a battalion OF Cumberland mi
litia. which saw active service, But there
was greater need for his presence in the
council chamber than in the field and the
rest Of his public career was devoted to the
civil and judicial service. Few members
of the continental congress were more in

years Of the conflict He served not only on
most OF the important committees, but as

his most important service was as men,

committee may be truly said to have been
the forerunner Of the federal supreme
court.
After his voluntary retirement from
congress, although his interest I'm the con-
flct remained undated, he devoted himself
exclusively to his profession. 1t was his
firm belief in Justice and in the majesty
of the law that involved him. In l719 in a

No amendment TO the constitution stands

that very provision came very nearly being
Incorporated in our original constitution.
It Is OF interest that the event Of the week

upon man who almost succeeded in per-
suading his colleag CUES in the convention to
provide for the popular election of senator's,
and who did succeed I'm embodying such
provision in the constitution of Pennsyl-
vania-
That man was James WILSON, signer OF
The Declaration OF Independence and Of the
constitution, one Of the greatest constitu-
uonal lawyers and jurists this country has
known. His body, after lying for more
than a century in an all but unknown
grave at Edenton, N. c., was lately carried
in state back to his OLD Philadelphia home
and accorded a burial with honor beside
that Of his wife, in the family vault in old
Christ church.
James Wilson, like the present cabinet
officer of the same name, was a native OF
Scotland. He was born near St. Andrews
I'm 1912, and, after studying at the Universe
ties of st. Andrews, Glasgow, and Edin-
burgh. emigrated to America at the age Of
a. and in 1866 settled in Philadelphia. There
he studied law in the office os Jonn Dickin-
son, with whom he was destined to serve
in the Constitutional convention, and year
later was admitted to the bar. His rare
training and his keen legal mind assured his
success in his profession from the start, and
long before the revolution he was recog-
nized as a leader of the provincial bar.
When the differences between the colonies
and the mother country became acute Will
son showed no hesitation in espousing the
colonial cause and became known as a
powerful advocate of the rights of the
colonists in the press and on the platform.
