And Three Other Officers
Get Death Sentences.
A COURT-MARTlAl
That Has Been Trying Russian Naval
Officers Returns Its Verdict
Mercy Is Recommended.

st. Petersburg, RusSia.-The court.
martial which had been trying Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff and rs officers of
his squadron for surrendering TO the
Japanese at the Battle of the Sea of
decision last night. Vice Admiral
Nebogatoff, Commander Lichinof, of
the ironclad General Admiral Aprax-
inc; Rear Admiral Gregorieff, of the
ship Admiral Senivian, and Lieut..
Smirnoff, who succeeded to the COM
mand of the battleship Nicolai l., were
sentenced to death, but in view of ex-
tenuating circumstances and the long
and otherwise blameless careers of
these officers, the court will petition
the emperor to commute their SEN
tences to ten years Imprisonment in
a fortress. Four other officers are SEN
fenced to short terms of Imprisonment
in fortress, while tffe remainder are
acquitted of the charges brought
against them.

off and the officers of his squadron be-
gan in st. Petersburg on September 5.
The accused were divided into thee
CdltSOlIcS.
First-Rear Admiral Nebogatoff and
the commanders of the battleships.
Second-The officers who advocated
the surrender.
Third-The officers who did not en-
deavor to prevent the surrender.
The first group of officers was tried
under that paragraph of the navy
regulations which provides for the
punishment by death of any COM
mander of a squadron or ship who sur
renders without a fight when he could
save his crew or infiict damage upon
the enemy.
The sentences passed upon Nebo-
gatoff and the three commanders are
similar to those handed down in the
cases of the naval officers who were
condemned by court-martial for sur
rendering the torpedo boat destroyer
Bedovi to the Japanese. These SEN
tences were coupled with a similar
recommendation to the emperor for
mercy and such intercession generally
has proved successful.

"Who First Did Draw"

Who first did draw young Love child
What skill had he! He knew how wild
Are lovers ways, and what a rout
Their small desires to bring about.
Wings, too, he aided cunningly,
And made the little god to fly,
Knowing the fate ve lovers moan
This way and that at random blown.
Wisely Loves arrows, wisely, too,
The quiver at his back, he drew,
Who wounds before we know him nigh,
a wound that's past all surgery.
Me this same child with all his stings
Doth haunt; but sure he's lost his wings,
For he'll not fly me, nor will rest
From the invasion of my breast.
Hence, godling! in so scared heart,
What joy to lodge? Feather your dart
on some fresh foeman more your peer,
'Tis but my shade you harass here
Which shade destroyed, whom will you
find
To praise my lady to your mind
Her little hand, her eyes like sloes,
And how she delicately goes?

The Panic PARTY,

They tell us that trusts are in favor
of Republican principles. The trusts
are in favor of osperity-the same
as every individual should be in favor
of prosperity. That is the only rea-
son. The black hand of Democracy
makes capital tremble. 1t means de-
struction of great enterprises. 1t
means empty pockets. 1t means
hunger and financial cyclone. 1t
means more than that. 1t means
that the rag-tag and bobtailed
element which wants free lunch
and which never prospered would
take control-and with Democracy in
control it means a panic. No one
wants another panic like the one of
'93. But Democracy gave us that, and,
put it in power again, the panic must
come.-Moravian Falls IN. CO. Yel

A VICTORY FOR THE STANDARD.
Judge Duncan Decides that Probate
Courts Have No Jurisdiction in
Suits Brought Under Anti
Trust Law.

Findlay, O.-Judge Duncan in a
decision rendered Monday finds
that the probate court has no jurisdic-
tion in the Standard Oil cases against
whom information was filed July IL,
1906, by Prosecutor David. The latter
states that as soon as he gets more
light from the court he will renew the
prosecutions.
Judge Duncan announced that he
would render his decision as to the in
dictments against John d. Rockefeller,
NJ G. Villas, j. M. Robertson and H. P.
Mcintosh in few days.
In his decision Monday Judge Dun
can finds as follows:
"A court of common pleas has
power to review proceedings and judg,
ments of the probate court in misde.
meanor cases, under Section 1856, Re.
vised Statutes, although the two
courts may have concurrent original
jurisdiction therein.
The probate criminal code con.
tanning no provision whereby service
may be had upon corporation, the
probate court has no jurisdiction to
try either an individual or a corpora.
tion under the Valentine antitrust
law.
Section 6472, Revised Statutes pro-
viding that the provisions governing
criminal proceedings in the court of
common pleas shall, so far as apple,
able, govern like proceedings in the
probate court. was not intended as an
aid to jurisdiction, and therefore does
ba hot tn tS, ID,
row from the common pleas criminal
code the provisions therein contained,
providing way to get corporation
into that court charged with a crimi.
nal offense.
THE court of common pleas has ex-
elusive original jurisdiction in all
criminal prosecutions under the Val.

Not So Very Wise.

"Few ears are closer to the ground
than those of Hon. Shelby Moore Cul'
lom. When that wise old bird pipes
for tariff revision it is time for the
stand patters to wonder if the sacred
and immortal tariff is a good risk. -
n. Y. Sun.
There have been times when this
same wise old bird mistook what he
heard with his ear close to the ground.
For example, three or four years
ago, he was certain that Kassons
foolish bunch of reciprocity" treaties
were going to be ratified with rush.
The treaties were smothered and
never saw daylight. Again, a little
more than a year ago, he told the Chi
cago reciprocity conference that the
Dingley schedules were sufficiently
high to serve as a maximum from
which reciprocity concessions might
be made. That idea has just been re-
pudiated at the polls. Now the wise
old bird" is eager for an extra session
of congress to monkey with the tariff
rates. The country has also pro-
nounced against that, and the presi-
dent is not likely to be in any such
hurry to plunge the business of the
country into the vortex of tariff dis
turbance. There is wise old bird
called the owl, which sees best after
dark and does nothing but blink and
blunder in the daylight

ANOTHER SET OF PATRIOTS.
Want Protection Removed from the
Other Fellows Products.

At its closing session in Chicago the
National Association of Agricultural
Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers
adopted a resolution calling upon con-
gress to revise the entire tariff laws
bearing upon lumber and its products
and calling for general reciprocity be-
tween the United States and all coun-
tries regarding all timber products.
If all the timber which goes into the
construction of an ordinary farm
wagon was brought from some foreign
country and the duty thereon was
paid, and if the duty paid was added
to the selling price of the wagon, it
would not increase the price so much
as so cents, but when we consider that
lumber is home production, it is like
ly the price bears no relation to the
duty on material. In so far as Ameri-
can industry is concerned, it matters
little whether there is duty on lum-
Der or whether it is admitted free.
Like many other products, the protec-
ton ON lumber, If it can be said the
duty is protective is a matter of con-
cern to only limited territory contig-
uous to some other country like Can
ada or Mexico, for instance. Lumber
of all kinds has increased many dol
lars per thousand feet during the past
few years, while the duty is only two
dollars per thousand on cut lumber
and less on squared timbers, hence
we know that the duty practically has
no bearing on the lumber prices. The
Wilson law removed the duty on lum'
Der, and Canada, our only competitor,
Immediately put on an export duty
equal to our former tariff. Canada
does not want her lumber sent to this
country, and hence when we do not
put up q discrimination, her laws sup
ply what is missing.
But the plant of the vehicle manu-
| facturers is an old one. 1t is the sell
| fish policy that demands cheap raw
material and high prices on finished
products. The vehicle manufacturers
evidently overlooked something. They
omitted to ask for a reduction of the
tariff on the goods they make for other
people.-Iowa City Republican.

This was His word, ere he went away
To rest meath the daisies and dust that

I've had my portion of love and light,
Under the heavens-dark CIR bright,
And 1 fear not tho sleep
In the silence deep;
Good-by to the winter-the blooms O. the

Last word to Iife-even the last good-by
To the great green world and the bend
ing sky:
"Therell be daisies to bloom at the head
and the feet,
Hiding the heart in it's blissful retreat;
And l fear not the sleep
Where the dark shadows creep;
Farewell to the song, and farewell to
the sigh"
And when DER us all the dark shadow
shall fall
May we thankfully still all life's sweet
ness recall,
And go to the rest
That is sweetest and best;
With no doubt-with no dread
Let the last word be said
The last word, "Good-by, and Gods
blessing to ALL"

"AImost Obsolete"

An abridged report by cable tells OF
an address lately delivered at Ger
man institution of learning by Prof,
John William Burgess, of Columbia
university, New York, in which the
statement was made that in the Unit
ed States protection is an almost
obsolete" doctrine. One must indeed
go far from home to learn the news at
home. We don't happen to know Prof
John William Burgess, but we should
think that as an educational curiosity
he might be worth knowing. To de-
clare protection almost obsolete in the
United States of all the countries OF
the world is an exhibit of freakishness
in superior intellectual culture that
should command a permanent place in
some museum. Suitably embalmed
and adequately spiced the remains
could for centuries to come be dis
played in a case bearing the inscrip
ton: Strange example of mental &c
centricity; a college professor who
told the Germans in 1906 that the Unit
ed States had discarded the economic
policy which at that very moment was
in full operation and was effective in
preventing the Germans from captur
ing the great American market" Re
ferring to the present epoch, If he
could give positive assurance to the
German exporters that protection Is
now or is about to become obsolete in
the United States, it would be a great
deal of money in John Williams

Novelists, some of whom may never
have owned dress coat, used to be
fond of drawing, in their tales,
sharp social distinction between per-
sons who dressed for dinner and
those who did not. Now the editor of
a British medical journal has been
discussing and commencing from a
hygienic point of view the habit of
dressing for dinner. Everyone knows
that a change of clothing is often re.
freshing. The English editor believes
that the effect is physical as well as
mental, or physical through the men
tai stimulus, and advises that even
the Woodworking clerk, the shopkeep-
er and the laboring man cast off their
workaday clothes and put on clean
clothing for the evening meal, when
the toll of the day is over.

Usinq the Cloak of Revision.

1t will be noted by those who re-
view such literature to any extent
that almost every complaint coming
from Democratic sources against any
existing conditions are based upon
opposition to the protective tariff. If
representations from the political op-
ponents of protection were accepted,
it would be believed that railroad re-
bates and the meat packers wrong
doings, and violations of the pure food
laws, as well as all trusts and cor
poration troubles, are directly due to
the existing of protective duties,
Tariff revision is urger from such
sources as an incident of tariff oppo.
sition, and not as a helpful move in
any direction. The tariff schedule as
at present arranged may not be per
feet or beyond improvement, but it
will be well to keep the fact in mind
that opposition to protection will not
be disposed of or materially lessened
through attempting to meet the de-
mands of those who are using the
cloaks of tariff revisions to cover the
forms Of opponents to protection

The Ute "Uprising."

Persons familiar with real Indian
amount of attention attracted to the
recent attempted migration of 300
Utes from their reservation in Utah
TO more fertile land in Wyoming. 1t
could hardly be called an uprising in
the old sense, says Youths Compan-
ion. The Indians had no warlike pur-
pose. They were simply seeking
place of residence where it will be
possible to get food. 1t is Is years
since there has been anything which
can properly be called an uprising,
and that eliminated in the fight at
Wounded Knee, S. D., in 1890. The
campaign of Gen Miles for the cap
ture of Geronimo in 1886 was really
the last serious conflict between the
whites and the red men. To go far
ther back, troops We're called out at
the time of the massacre of the Meek
er family by the White river Utes In
1879, and the Sioux and Cheyennes
were so troublesome in 1876 that they
had to be attacked in the campaign
which resulted in the Custer massa-
ere. These were grave disturbances;
but SO many of the Indians now speak
English, wear civilized clothing and
cultivate the land, that the red man
who has any disposition to take to
the war-path has practically disap-
peared.
