Ironton, Mo-, March 22.-Jo-
seph Ralph Burton, who until his
conviction in the Federal courts
vas United States Senator from
Kansas, was this morning releas-
ed from the county Jail here, hav-
i: 6 completed his sentence of six
months, imposed when he was
found guilty of violating a FEEDER
IL statute by appearing before a
governmental department as the
paid representative of an alleged
''get-rich-quick" concern of St.
Luis.

y deduction from a sentence for
good behavior. Burto MS n
tence also included a fine Of
50, 500 and the statute under which
he was convicted debars him from
aver holding an office of trust or
remuneration under the Federal
government. The fine, which has
not been paid, will be held over
him as a civil Judgment.
Accompanied by Mrs. Burton
and his niece, Miss Doro t b y
Mitchell, Burton departed for St.
Louis. en- route to Abilene, Kas.,
where Mr.. Burton will start a
newspaper through which he will
give a history of his case, accord
ing to a statement he issued upon
leaving Jail today.

KILLING IN CABARRUS.
A Very Mysterious Tragedy Which is a
Puzzle TO the Coroner.

News m from Concord Of a
killing which occurred Saturday
night in the Whitehall section.
The victim of the tragedy was a
young white man named Grover
Page. The accounts of the mat
;er are much mixed up and it ls
difficult to state with any degree
of accuracy what caused the trou-
BILE, or who fired the fatal shot.
1t is stated that one Walter
Blackwelder and Grove Page
started to visit the home of a wo-
man of questionable reputation,
and chat the former had been
drinking rather freely. By mis-
take they went to the home of
Henry Walker, who is night
Waterman at a quarry. The men
entered the house and proceeded
to the room of Mrs. Walker who
was sick in bed. Blackwelder is
said to have made insulting pro-
posals to Mrs. Walker, and while
he was talking with her, Mr..
Walker came in. He ordered the
men to leave the premises. Black
welder began shooting up the
house, but not shooting at any
person. Page, and a man named
Deaton, who was with Walker, got
Blackwelder out of the house. He
then commenced shooting at the
house. The two men went down
the road and met some others.
These started back to the house
when Walker came out with a rifle
and fired at them. Whether he
killed Page, whether Blackwelder
killed him, or whether he was shot
by some unknown person in the
general row which took place, no
one seems to know. After getting
what evidence there was to be had
the coroner's jury was unable to
reach any verdict and the hearing
of the matter was postponed.
Blackwelder and a couple of
others, Charles Collett and Will
Burton are in Jail, but the affair
is still enveloped in mystery.

VIEW OF THE NORTH
Cause of Revolt Of Republicans
IN the House

The Wallace Times devotes two edi-
torials to the revolt in the legislature,
as follows:
intoxicated with its success at the
November election the Republican ma
chine has been running things with such
a high hand at Boise that the reaction
has come
Republican members of the lower
house, 20 in number, who have been
driven from pillar to post by the whips
of the machine, felt that smart sting
of the lash once too often and revolt,
open revolt, has set ina revolt which
will require all the cunninsness Of
Gooding, Brady and the rest of the
gang to quell

speaker the machine began to think
its power was unlimited and knew not

ture Of the Thompson machine, in turn

ROOS6V6It'S Proposed
New Treaty
NO BETTER THAN COOLIES
Alleged Concession Made to the
japanese

We shall observe the progress of
President Rosevelfs treaty-making with
the Japanese empire with a great deal
Of interest. Newspapers having a close
association with the administration, like
the Chicago Tribune, whose proprietor
is ambassador to France, report an am
icable compromise arrived at on the
basis of the mutual exclusion of the
laboring classes, says the Lewiston Trib-
une. Each government will authorize
the exclusion of its working people BY
the other, and in this way Japan's self
respect will not be wounded or its in
ternational prestige weakened, because it
will have wrested equal concessions from
an adversary for all it has yielded. Well
and good. 1t is an admirable thing to
have fine regard for Japan's sensi-
bilities, and we repeat that we shall
watch the presidents maneuvers to that
end with a great deal of interest.
In the new school of federal diplo-
macy and administrative functions doubt
less the president honestly conceives
that he has the power to segregate
American labor into herd by itself and
enact treaty that will prohibit its
units from the right of movement, travel,
emigration and what not Doubtless he
sincerely believes it is exalted patriot
ism to class American labor on parity
with oriental coolies if thereby he may
serve to please the vanity of the Japa-
nese race. The development OF this
process will be OF very great and uni
versal interest
It is conceded on both sides that the
provision authorizing the exclusion of
American labor from Japan is only for
NAL, since American labor has about as
much idea of going there as it has to
Gehenna. It is only polite deception,
intended merely to please and placate
tle belligerent little brown men. Even
so, the president will doubtless learn
that neither he, nor congress, nor even
the federal courts can in this country
legislate away by treaty or otherwise
the exact and equal rights of our labor
ing people as sovereign citizens of iden-
teal blood and texture with our presi-
dents and other political accidents. And
when the japanese find that the honor
and prerogative OF American labor can
not be laid upon the altar of their self
love, then indeed we may begin to look
for trouble. 1t will probably not be
serious or lasting, only annoying and
costly. But Tapan's rude awakening
from the dream of equality, greatness
and grandeur into which it has been
lulled by President Roosevelt's prom
ises and praises is sure to produce a
shock and possibly also an eruption.
