The Thaw trial, which has been
in progress for a number of
weeks and is not finished yet. is
q conspicuous illustration of the
costiiness of criminal trials.
And there is no certainty that
there will be either Il conviction
or acquittal, indeed. the indica.
tiOns point to a mistrial. It
would be exceedingly interesting
toknow just how many thousands
of dollars il. will cost the State of
New York.

Press reports from Hond dras
and Nicaragua, the two Central
American republics at war, are
so conflicting that it is impossible
to tell which country has the
advantage.

A Rich Mans Government.

iA w
A Rich Mans Government.
N. O. States.
In a recent article contributed
to n of the magazines Senator
Beveridge deals with the general
belief that this is getting to be a
rich mans government. He
finds that there is justification
for this belief in the fact that the
scale of living at Washington has
become such that no poor man
can enter upon public life there
and maintain his position in a
manner that will preserve his
self-respect.
The country which is not un-
mindful of the conditions at
Washington realizes that there is
much truth in the observations
of Senator Beveridge. 1t has
seen with him that a false stand
ard of living has been established
at the national capital, as a result
of the presence in Congress of
a large number Of extremely
rich men whose entertainments
are on such a lavish scale that it
has been accepted as the standard
and proper thing from the
national capitals point of view.
There has been almost a reck-
less exhibition of wealth by the
millionaires of the Senate and the
House and as society has &C
copied it as a pattern it is i'm
possible for the poor members Of
Congress to figure as social fact
ors ard retain their self-respect
and freedom from financial dis
tress. They find themselves un-
able to meet the pace which has
been set and must needs hold
aloof from entertainments which
cost considerably more than their
annual salary. 1t would appear
that the conditions of life in
Washington have been brought
about by the recklessly lavish
expenditures of the millionaire
Congressman, and unless there
is a change for the better it is
merely a question of time when
Zone but immensely rich men
will be able to hold seats in the
House or Senate. This being the
case we shall have a rich mans
government in its full essence, for
legislation will be absolutely in
the hands of the rich whose in
terests aud wealth will color
every feature and every law OF
the government.
Senator Beveridge takes Oc'
casion to remark that existing
conditions have made mbarras.

Highly Successful.

Blueheld will entertain the Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows of West Vir-
ginia at its next annual meeting.
This was decided on by vote Of the
delegates at the morning session of
the Grand Lodge Thursday. Four
cities made bids for the next con-
ventiou, namely, Bluefeld. Hunting
ton. Parkersburg anad Hinton, but
Biuefield received the most votes.
The question of the location OF
the new state home of the order was
mot decided at Thursday mornings
session and it was held over for the
afternoon session which began at
O'Clock after the grand parade. The
home committee will give in its
recommendations and the Grand
Lodge will settle the question of site
finally.
It is more than likely that the
home viii be built at EIkins, as prev
iously decided on. At the last ses-
sion of the Grand Lodge. the home
committee was authorized to let the
contract for the home at the price
of $4,000, but the lowest bid for
the construction of the building was
$67,777.OO and the contract was let

arose over the requirement OF sufIlc-
lent land and the construction of a
necessary road. a railroad switch

siderable discussion arose over the
