1t is thus shown what a difficult thing
it will be to prove that Josiah Pratt
died Of arsenical poisoning. But if 1t
is possible to determine that he did,
the state can certainly show strong
motive on the part of the accused by
proving her intimacy with Will Per-
sing, her alleged paramour and a CO.
defendant on the charge of murder.

Opposed to Monuments.

\ party OF Pennsylvonians, members
Of the House, and newspaper men were
discussing the question as 10 whether
the statue in memory OF the late Sen
ator Quay viii or VIII not be erected
at Harrisburg IN fulnument of the
mandate Of the last session Of the
Legislature.
1T was the greatest mistake the
friends Of Senator Quay ever made TO
let that bill be brought into the
Legislature" said Major Mcdowell. the
wise man of the party. Il am opposed
10 this business OF building unsightly
things called monuments 10 the mem

take OF all is for the friends Of the
mar who has gone to say whether he
shall not have a memorial Of that kind.

Tom Patterson a Fighter.

Some Western men were discussing
the sensation caused by the speech
Of Senator Tom" Patterson. OF Colora-

fatty IN favor OF the Presidents Santo
Domingo and other policies. The speech
was accepted at the Capitol almost
from the minute Il began. as very pos
sIbly marking an epoch In the legisla-
tive history of the session. for il may
be the beginning Of a landslide Of
Democratic Senators TO the Administra-
sion program, just as the unanimous
report Of the rate bill in the House

movement for practically unanimous

Senator PattersOn'S Speech.

Senator Patterson Of Colorado,
Democrat of the Independent school,
with advanced ideas on economic
problems, ratified the DOMINICAN
treaty by his speech yesterday in
the Senate. Such, at least. was the
current comment in Capitol corridors
almost before he had fairly begun
speaking. II may prove that undue
Importance was attached TO his adj
Vocacy of Presidential policies, and
that the crumbling of partisan oppo-
sition, which Democrats fear and
Administration Republicans hope for,
may fail of naturalization. But
certain it is that the largest signifi-
canoe was attached TO his speech on
both sides of the chamber
Senator Pattersons was a declara-
ton of accord with the general
policies of the Administration. II was
an acceptance of Roosevelt RepubH-
canism and the things Tor which it
stands. 1t has a political significance
wider merely than its relation 10
pending questions in the Senate
There is no community in the ma
ton more devoted to the political
fortunes and ideals of Theodore
Roosevelt than Colorado. No man
knows that better than Senator Pat
terson. And there is no man in the
Senate more Independent Of mere
party demands than Patterson. His
great newspapers in Denver were
practically alone in UNFOLDING the
wOrkingmen side during the late
capital and labor war IN Colorado.
He has been something of a Popu-
list; a free silver advocate; a Demo
crat, and now he has lined up for
the policies of advanced Republican
ism
If Henry NJ. Teller. lifelong Repub-
lican. could change his political coat
and come back to the Senate as a
Democrat after he had long sat there
IS a Republican, why may not
Thomas NJ. Patterson, once elected
as Democrat, be reelected as d Re
publican OF an Independent?
That is the question Western poll
ticians are asking. They are wonder
ing If il is what Patterson has in his
mind. Politics in Colorado is fear
fully and wonderfully mixed. Party
names stand for as little there as
anywhere IN the nation. Colorado
has learned 20 split its ticket" and
it has far less regard for the political
label than for the contents of the
package.
In the largest view. then, the Pat
tersOn speech is one more indica-
ton of the tendency TO new align
ments. We have seen Democrats
and Republicans present a solid front
for rate regulation in the House. Il
is common knowledge that if the
Administration measure on this sub
ject gets out of committee in the
Senate, it viii do SO by virtue of
Democratic votes; and that If it
passes the Senate It will have far
more Democratic than Republican
votes.
How much more evidence is re-
quired to make plain that the new
political alignment, in which issues
and purposes will be primary, and
political Technology secondary, is
rapidly taking place? tt has been
predicted and forecasted and declared
inevitable for some years. It is ar
irving, and Senator Patterson's
speech was one of the announcements
that IL is waiting at the door.
Small wonder the political man
ayers inside are in a state of panic
as to whether they shall admit il or
send word that they are mot at
home,"
