Haywood's Acouittal.

The verdict rendered a Boise City. Idaho.
in the HAYWOOD case. surprised even the
defense. which according to the reports.
expected at best only a disagreement.
Judging from the statements of the jury
men tie attorneys for the defense did
not correctly gauge the effect upon the
Jurors of the Judges instructions. The en-
phasis which he laid upon the doctrine OF
Reasonable doubt and upon the necessity
OF COrroborative testimony to support the
evidence given by orchard appears to have
deeply impressed the jurors. and it is now
plain that there was no chance for verdict
OF conviction from the moment they left
the box.
This verdict illustrates the extreme diff
fCulty attending all efforts to prove con-
spIracy. The very nature of the offense.
when committed renders the task of its
exposure Of doubtful success. Not even
when. as in the present instance, an as
sassin himself acknowledges his guilt is
the way of the prosecutor easy. The testi-
mony of the slayer is not regarded as proof.
1t must be substantiated by detailed evil
dence which may not be available.
1t would be interesting to know whether
the jury at Boise would have rendered a
verdict of acquittal solely on the strength
OF CFtidEu teStliDHN. ny
other evidence regardless of the law re-
quiring such confederation. Such specula-
lions are. of course. futile. but in this case
the question strikes at the root Of the Hay
wood case. Did Harry Orchard tell the
truth. the whole truth and nothing but the
truth? One of the jurors is quoted as
declaring that he believed Orchard in
part and dsbelieved him to other mat
tx-Irh vii .iS may he rp
garded as a typical case. Probably if all
twelve men had believed Orchard implicitly
no amount of warning from the bench re-
garding the law Of evidence. and lack
OF the requisite corrobora ton. would have
prevented a verdict OF conviction.
Thus the whole case revolved at the con-
clusion around the man who swore to the
preparation of an astounding series of
crimes. and who attributed the inspiration
OF his misdeeds to the officers of the West
ern Federation of Miners. He stands today
one OF the most interesting psychological
studies afforded by modern history.
The labor unions throughout the United
States are to be congratulated upon this
verdict. as far II may be accepted as
clearing one OF them of the suspicion of
having engaged in a murder plot OF
course. as it stands the result of the Hay
wood trial serves only to absolve the par
ticular defendant of completely in the death
OF Frank Steunenberg. The others who
are accused of taking part in the alleged
Conspiracy are yet to be tried. The later
trials may result differently. although 1t IS
difficult to conceive such an end in view
of the failure of the prosecution in this
case. Until a jury declares its belief in
Orchards statements involving officers OF
the Western Federation OF Miners in the
staying of Steunenberg. that organization
must b. regarded as presumably innocent
a verdict of conviction. on the other hand
would have been one of the severest blows
ever sustained by organized labor in the
United States.

Senator Pettus.

From the Baltimore American.
A unique figure disappears from public
life in the death of Senator Edmund w.
Pettus. who, during the past ten years. had
represented the state Of Alabama in the
United States Senate. In the public thought,
and. most likely. in the recording annals
that Will hand down his fame to future
colleague. Senator Morgan. who preceded
him by only brief period in passing the
portals OF the unknown. The two Alabama
senators were devoted friends from child
hood; they lived close t, each other through
q long period Of years in the little village
Of Selma, Ala, and they were associated
for considerable period In the United
States Senate as the two senatorial repre-
sentatives OF the state of Alabama In
their long friendship Their was q touching
quality that stood the strain Of time and
q thousand mundane tests. Their long-ex-
tended careers were similar In many par
ticulars. though the Municipalities of the
two men were strikingly different.

The Tuskepee School.

This comes from Mont gomery. Ala:
The house OF representatives tonight
voted down a bill TO tax the property OF the
Booker 7. Washington School al Tuskegee.
There were several sensational speeches
on the bill, one member declaring that the
school should be wiped or the earth, and
that II was the south's greatest curse.
Most OF the members however. look
upon the school a great, factor in the
development of Alabama and the south. and
as a powerful influence for the settlement
Of the race question.
"a commission appointed by the Ieglsla-
turs to investigate the school recently
made a most fiattering report
Prof. Washington has always spoken in
the highest terms of the support given him

1t is surprising. and even pathetic. to
hear that one representative. dlnerlng with

Senator Pettus.

At seventy-five Mr. Pettus decided upon
a national career. His ambition had scared
no higher than federal judgeship which,
had he obtained it. would have kept him
at home and known only to his fellow-citi-
| zens of Alabama. But piqued by a refer
ence to his age he determined to show how
much life was still in him. and so offered
for and was elected to the Senate. His time
in that body was well put in and the chap
ter closes with much to the good. The at
tractive local figure became an attractive
national figure and men of all parties deep
ly lament his demise even in the fullness
of years.
AS senator Mr. Pettus exerted an in
f1uence out of the ordinary. He was a good
lawyer, and his opinions on legal questions
were much respected. Fairness and 'cour-
tesy characterized his dealings. and insured
| him hearing at all times when he asked
to be heard. He had industry for business.
and wit for social converse and his asso-
ciates both admired and liked him.
But even beyond this he was a force for
good. He looked on life in wholesome,
large way. Nothing flustered or futtered
him. Parade had no attraction for him.
Mere glitter. whether of action or Ian
guage, never caught him. He adhered to
plain living and high thinking" and set
store Dy what was genuine ana SuDStan-
tial.
1t was good. therefore. to meet such a
veteran occupying a seat among the mighty.
and mightier because Of his characteristics
than some of those around him. His pres
ence was restfu and inspiring. and it told
told in both personal and a political
way.
Mr.. Pugh. Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Pettus.
all men of note of whom Alabama was
proud, have quilted the stage within a
short time. and the state and the country
are poorer because of it. They are de-
scribed as Of the old school. The phrase

with the procession so well, and rendered
so much valuable public service so late In
