was not charged that they were pres.

The cases came to this court on an
appeal, from q decision of the Idaho
federal court, refusing to grant writs
of habeas corrus, The principal point
OF controversy was the method by
which the Idaho authorities obtained
Jurisdiction yer the men. All of them
are residents of Colorado and it was
alleged on behalf of Meyer and his as
soclates that they were kidnapped in
pursuance OF a conspiracy to which
the governor OF Colorado and the Ida
no authorities were parties, and hence
that Jurisdiction was acquired by
fraud.

BRYAN's COMMENT ON MESSAGE

Lincoln Neb.--Commenting ON

J. Bryan says there is much that is
good and much that Is bad In it, but
1t may be regarded as the presidents
most important state paper.
Mr.. Bryan complains that what the
president says on the subject of gov
eminent by Injunction will not be
satisfactory to the laboring men, or
to those who respect the right Of
trial by. jury. The presidents stand
on child labor is commended, as is
also the position he takes on the
eight-hour day law and the right Of
the people to criticise a Judge. "He
pays a deserved tribute to the prog
ress OF the Japanese nation" says
Mr.. Bryan. There will be General
disappointment at the war-like tone
Of his message where he discusses the
army and the navy. He speaks of
the navy al the surest guarantor of
peace which this country possesses.
Shame upon the chief executive that
he should place an instrument of
brute force above the nations sense
OF Justice as a guarantor Of peace"
