Toxic, Dec. 4-'rhe probable res

that Ambassador Aoki may return to
Japan at an early date. The foreign

In the event that Ambassador Aohi

there is a strong probability that he

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

One very important question
which must be decided prior to the
date of adjournment of the neX'
general assembly of Ohio is wheth'
:. er or not it has the power to elect
successor for Senator Foraker
Z The question has been going the
/. rounds for some months and those
who are capable of judging seem
to be hopelessly divided on the sub
jcct. Some maintain that there
can be no session of the legisla-
I, ture in 1909, therefore the next
! general assembly must elect. Others
hold directly opposite to this opin-
ION and maintain that the legis-
lature which is elected next fall is
the one which must elect. The
latest convert to the former opinion
is Senator Mather. He has sent his
opinion to the two leading law
Journals in Ohio and this may serve
to bring the question to the at
tention of the courts, which must
ultimably decide the question.
AS bearing upon the Ohio poll
tical fight this question is of
supreme Importance. Senator For
'kaker is generally conceded to have
eliminated himself from the race
= Tor senator, by declaration made
last week. lie is in the fight for
the presidency and is certain to
seriously encroach upon Taft's
chances by dividing the Ohio dele
CATION. To overcome this opposition
and quiet the factionalism which
is rife in Ohio republican circles.
1t would be a very smooth piece
of politics for Secretary Taft to
engineer the reelection of Foraker
to the senate, provided the courts
hold that the next general assembly
can elect.
Ohio has long been republican
battle ground and this year II
promises to attract even more
prominence than ever before. Much
depends upon the settlement OF
this question, both to the people
and party leaders.

1t has been brought about by public
opinion. Had Mrs. Bradley been
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree, there would have been an un-
iversal protest against her execution,
so strong that 1t would probably have
won in the end.
The spirit of square dealing is 50
firmly rooted in the average Amer
lean citizens breast that he is will
ing to overlook almost any crime
done by the wronged man or woman,
and herein lies the danger. Is 1t
not time for the people to call a
halt and see whether this unwritten
law is not being given too wide
application?

TO WHAT IS 1T LEADING?

The verdict Of Not Guilty" in the
Mrs. Bradley trial seems to be en-
tirely satisfactory to the public i'm
general. All seem to consider that
ex-senator Brown deserved just
what he got and all are agreed that
Mrs. Bradley was the one who
should, by right, do the deed.
-. This verdict, however, raises the
question as to whether we are not in
!. this age placing too low an estimate
upon human life. Mrs. Bradley is
not the only ono who has been
cleared G murder upon practically
the same grounds. In fact, In recent
years, a conviction in a case of the
kind has been the exception. The
precedent has been established and
when man or woman decides to
take the execution of the "unwrit-
ten law INTO his own hands, he
does II with the feeling that he will
not be punished for his crime, but
on the contrary will appear hero
In the eyes of the great majority Of
the people. The precedent is dan
gerous one. because there are many
who are likely TO take advantage of
1t to ayenge themselves OF real or
imagined wrongs. The "unwritten
law" has come TO be an even more
efDective defense in murder trials
than has insanity. The courts can
not be blamed for the condition, for
