improved forest. as well as several Slbe-

about s400. 100000 but out OF this, however,
he must bear all the expenses of the lands

event of his reelection, toward ending the scandal
Gus merchandising in the laws OF the state that
goes on during every session of the legislature.
Here again Governor Utter made plain both his in
sincerity and his evasion in a reprehen-
sible way, if that possible by distorting Mayor
Higgins statement in abortive attempt TO make
a point against him.
The governor quoted Mayor Higgins as saying
he would drive Brayton from the state house,
and then went on TO declare such statement
an appeal to ignorance a resort to demagogy.
Mayor Higgins made such statement as the
governor put in his mouth. What he did say was
Il wish to say that far as lies in my power and
in the power of the chief executive if am elected
to that Office, / will drive from the state house the
criminal boss who has contaminated that place
and prostituted the rights of the people"
Thus even Misrepresentation does not aid the
governor. But does he say he will do anything to
put end to the boss of the sherffs Office as
legislative auction room? He docs not. Instead
he attempts to show that the boss, being citizen
of the state cannot be driven from the state house
in which he carries his shameless trafficking.
If that isn't arrant poltroonery, perhaps Cover
nor Utter will tell the people what il is
No way to thrust out the boss, way to end
a continuing outrage and scandal in the state house
of a sovereign state! Was ever a claim so utterly
ridiculous put forward by making any pre-
tence to the possession of common sense?
Did not the house of representatives on the
courageous initiative of Rathbone Gardner bar the
boss from its chamber and from its cloak rooms?
Does any believe that with James H.
Higgins in the gubernatoria chair and general
assembly representative of the people occupying
the halls of legislation, the boss and his auction
outfit will not be cast out in contumely and dis
grace? Not one.
The Democratic candidate is a man of con-
victions, of courage and of action He is not
pulling and puny proclaimer of virtues he does not
possess.
Those of unbiased mind who listened to George
H. Utter last night must have felt pity mingled
with contempt, for the man, given splendid oppor-
tunity to prove his manhood who could only make
use of it to prove his pusillanimity.
In the other addresses made there nothing
to appeal to the loyal Rhode Islander anxious to
learn what the issues to be settled at the polls
next November. Mayor Dyer smiling, sacchar-
inc and soothing Congressman Capron appeared
to take the campaign its issues, the audience and
himself joke, while Mr. Morgan labored much
as does the lawyer who pleads the of client
in whose guilt he believes.

The TactfuI LAWYER,

1t is not necessary that a lawyer
should be eloquent to win verdicts,
but he must have the tact which turns
an apparent defeat to his own advan-
tage. One of the most successful of
verdict winners was Sir James Scar
lett. His skill in turning failure into
a success was wonderful. In breach
of-promise case, the defendant, Scar
let's client, was alleged to have been
cajoled into an engagement by the
plaintiffs mother. She was a witness
in behalf of her daughter, and COM
pletely baff1ed Scarlet, who cross-ex-
amined her. But in his argument he
exhibited his tact by this happy stroke
of advocacy: You saw, gentlemen of
the jury, that I was but child in her
hands. What must my client have
been?'
