the decision of the attorney general
by editors and newspaper men in the
state affected by his Interpretation
of the new law, that transportation
cannot be used by newspaper men
who have nomination papers in

that it is selling its soul to the rail
roads by using advertising mileage.
There is a world of difference be-
tween a pass and transportation Of
this kind. The former is a favor,
the latter is paid for. The editor

shovel or the liveryman his through
his carriage and mileage is the pay

The defense has not as yet given a

defense, but from questions put to

attorneys are intending to admit that
human bones were found in the declivi-
ty near where Kabat built the bon
fires, but that they were placed there
by some unknown persons anxious to
bring about a murder case and attach
damaging evidence to the accused
man.
