The Smoot TangIe,

The senate will not be greatly edited
or assisted in it's final determination of
the Smoot case by the proceedings of its
committee on privileges and elections.
The committee voted 7 to that Smoot
is not entitled to a seat in the senate,
but when it came to deciding how to
get rid Of him the committee was in
hopeless tangle. A motion to exclude
him was voted down and motion to
expel him resulted in tie vote. As
suming that the votes of the committee
reflect the opinion Of the senate, then
the senate will also vote that Smoot is
not entitled to his seat, but will neither
exclude nor expel him. This would leave
1t to Mr.. Smoot's sense of propriety
whether to voluntarily withdraw or stay
where he is. Inasmuch as Mr.. Smoot
has not the least doubt Of his valid title
to the seat he would certainly adopt
the latter course. 1.-
Senator Bailey has argued very
strongly that the proper procedure is to
exclude Smoot on the ground that the
acts which made him ineligible were
committed before he was elected and
that therefore he never was entitled to
sit in the senate. This would create
a sort of comic-opera situation. The
man Smoot has undoubtedly been bodily
in the senate. He has cast and had
counted votes on the most important
legislative measures, yet, constructive
", he has never been a senator. The
most logical course, to be sure, is to rec
ognize the fact that Snoot is senator,
but that the senate having discovered
some things about him which render him
ineligible it expels him. The vital OBJ
lection to this course on the" part OF
those who are earnestly in favor of dis
posing of the apostle is that it takes a
two-thirds vote of the senate, which
very probably could not be had. The
Smoot case therefore presents some con
stitutional difficulties similar to those
of broad and narrow court review with
which the senate recently had pathetic
struggle in full view of the country.

made his charges and had them her
aided over the nation. No other course
on his part can. be considered fair.
The charges were hastily made, and
on ex parte testimony The Minnesota
commission was not a party to the Wis:
eonsin case, and had no opportunity to
meet the statements Of Crumpton at
the time he made them. The Minnesota
authorities were in total ignorance Of
the testimony till after the case had
been decided. They could have met
Crumpton and set the record straight
in short order if given an opportunity.
The witness has been convinced OF his
error and, has made amends. We will
now expect to hear from the senator
who gave the error national publicity.

The Duryea Ordinance.

The mayors objection to the Duryea
ordinance that it had not been given
sufficient publicity may have some
weight. The ordinance has been very
little before the public, considering it's
Importance. Perhaps the Real Estate
board or the owners of acre property
on the outskirts of the city could ad-
vance some reasons why the ordinance
should be modified, or possibly not
passed at all. If such objections exist
they should have had consideration.
But the council appears not to have
been Informed of them nor to have had
any doubt of the propriety of passing
the ordinance. s~A.syl>~,
On the face Of the general PROPOSE
ton there appears to be very little rea-
son why they should hesitate. The
tp1atting of additions and their accept.
ance by the council without there hav.
| ing been a stroke Of work done on them
Ecertainly throws the burden of making
the streets upon the taxpayers of the
ward. Immediately the value Of prop
| erty included in the addition is, en-
| HANGED, not at the expense of the own:
ers, but Of those who have already con.
tributed to a ward fund, mot toEmake
new, streets, but to keep up the streets
then in. existence. a., s'H'
T There may be reasons why the gen.
eral city fund might assume this bur.
den, The new property adds to the
taxable value, Of the whole city, but
under, the present system it adds more
to the burdens than to the pocket Of the
| ward. The policy Of the city toward
the taking in of new additions has been
extremely liberal. About all that the
city has required is that plat be fled
and that this plat be approved by the
city engineer. 1t seems highly prope,
that this, system should be now supple
mented with legislation calculated tc
protect the city from excessive bills
for grading nsw streets and from dam
age suits growing out of changes Of
grade to make%$old streets conform tc
new ones. H. h.

Is Acquittal the End.

The jury verdict of not guilty n n the
Josephine Terranova case in Newly ORR
is either one of justifable homicide or
else it is purely sympathetic freak
verdict. The girl was indicted for the
murder Of her uncle and aunt. The
killing was admitted. The plea OF
justification included a lot Of imprint
able stuff about the relations of the
girl with her uncle and a number Of
opinions by alienists on the theory that
the girl was subject to hallucinations,
the direction of the visions being that
she should kill her relatives, The
judge charged. The jury that thet plea
of justification not having been specif,
cally advanced and the abuse alleged
as an apology for the act depending
upon the girl IS unsupported testimony,
the jury should properly bring in ver-
dict of murder in the first degree. The
twelve good men and true in sixteen
minutes brought in verdict Of not
guilty. o.
1t is concededly difficult to convict
a woman of murder where a part Of the
defense is wrong by man.. Therefore
the state moved first the Indictment
Echarging the killing of the aunt. But
this jury, exceptionally gifted in sym
Ipathy, was not to be caught in that
way. It viewed the uncle and aunt fol
all purposes as one person, and in &C
quitting her of the murder Of the aunt
has undoubtedly acquitted her Of the
murder of the uncle also. ,a.:',,,=..

Speaker Cannon's Responsibility


Evidently Speaker Cannon is being
crowded into corner. where he will
either have to give the house it's head
or take the responsibility for legisla-
ton.
The statehood bill passed the senate
some weeks ago. 1t is supposed to
be in conference. Measures that get
into conference usually are reported out
again without delay, but in five weeks
the statehood conference has produced
no report. It has been generally under
stood that the speaker was delaying
the report while he worked upon COM
promise which, would look more like the
house bill than the senate bill. .-
Some weeks ago the senate passed the
pure-food bill after fifteen years Of
more or less earnest consideration. It
has been in committee of the house
since, and has been amended, some say
butchered,' there. It cannot get be-
fore the house without the consent of
the speaker, who has, up to date, failed
to bring in a rule for it's consideration.
He controls the fate of this bill abso-
lutely and is responsible for it,
The senate has passed the Beveridge
meat inspection bill. The speaker is
hating between two opinions as to
whether he will let it pass the house.
He is said to have some constitutional
objections to bill which ,compels the
packers to let their meat be inspected
and lays the cost of the inspection
upon them. It seems to be "constitu.
tional' to levy tariff upon cattle OF
meat coming into the country, but there
are grave doubts about the right of the
government to protect the people
against unfit meats. -.
The people have borne Speaker Can.
non 8 standpattism on the tariff with
patience because they felt that while
1t was necessary that the tariff should
be revised, there were some other THINGS
Z which must be done first. But to have
the speaker turn standpatter upon the
meat situation is laying on the last
straw. This is something which can
not be postponed to next year, or next
session. 1t is matter Of life and
death, not of profit or loss on imported
goods.
