Senator Culberson inherits his phlegmatic
temperament from his father the late judge or as
he was better known "Dave," Culberson who for
more than score of years was a member of the
house from Texas. Old man Culberson was one
of the rich and rare characters in the house, a
man of great ability but averse to exercising it
unless absolutely pushed into a contest. In his
later years of service he was regarded as the
nestor of young Democrats in the house and they
all went to Uncle Dave" for advice which he

WASH1NGTON.-A wide gap was made IN
the Democratic ranks in the senate when Arthur
Pue German, of Maryland, died few days ago.
There have been few more forceful characters
among the Democrats in that body. He grew up
with the senate; knew all it's traditions and re-

world. For many years Mr.. German was the

No, it will be important because dresses are

FLOODING CONGRESS WITH PETITIONS.

When John Quincy Adams retired from the
presidency and took up service in the house of
representatives one of his greatest achievements
was to to the people the right of petition
There was disposition on the part of some
members of congress to shut off this right, but
through the efforts of Mr. Adams the privilege was
retained and has been enjoyed ever since Mr.
Adams little thought at the time he was fighting
for this right it would in the future be lightly re-

Shot Fired as Result of Effort to Make

Des Moines, Dec. 25,-Speaking OF

bia gets freedom for his.
Governor Cunmins yesterday signed
a full pardon for him and today he will
be able to look into the sky AMI
breathe freely and be glad, for the frs
time in more than two years.
He was a peace officer in Alba AMI
got three years for doing his duty. He
arrested a young man on charge of
being drunk and disorderly. The
youths friends, who had often threat
ened wat they would do to the peace
officers of the town, rallied to his res
cue and in the trouble that ensusd TN
uncle of the youth under arrest was
shot. and later died.
Was Twice Convicted.
Smith was arrested for murder and
twice was convicted. When he appeal
ed the first time the supreme court at.
firmed the judgment against him, hold
ing that a peace officer was not war
ranted in shooting to effect an arrest
of mere misdemeanant. 1t soon be
came apparent that this doctrine
would effectively add to the contempt
which gangs feel for officers of the
peace, everywhere, and this kind o.
people Immediately became very over
bearing and obnoxious. The attention
of the court was called to the fact thai
the shooting was not for resisting ar
officer, but in preventing an outrage
such as rescuing an arrested person
from an officer. A rehearing was grant
ed and Officer Smith was given re
4 trial. On the second trial he was agar
convicted and now the governor hal
pardoned him outright, so that he will
no longer have any trouble.
4 Not Criminal.
The best information that the cover
! nor was able to get concerning thu
case was to the effect that Smith il
not in any sense a criminal, but OF
the other hand sacrificed himself t
enforce the law from high sense o
duty, exercising the utmost persona
courage in doing it against the threat
of the disreputable element. He be
!. lieved himself in extreme danger Q

: act was in pursuance Of the discharg
of his duty as sworn officer and nc
as an enemy Of society. 1t was she
In self-defense, in other words.
Manifestly a parole was not possibl
in this case and the governor did
j rather unique thing for the executiv
, office, issued a full pardon.

He further claims that by the terms
of the note if the defendants allowed
