 'I do not know what your verdict will be in this case" he went on. and I do not believe anybody knows. There is one thing I do know and that is that you will never get twelve men in the state of Idaho to turn Harry Orchard loose and you will never get any man as governor to turn him loose. Orchard has been promised no immunity and if l should ever have anything to do with such a bar gain as that l should want the Great God to wither my right arm till 1t fell from its socket. We are not asking for vcarious atonement in this case like the defense, but we want no compromise. We know one man Is guilty; it Is for you to deter mine whether there are others"

that American liberty should date from the year 1735, for then the trial of Peter Zenger for too freely expressing him self in print, resulted in his acquittal and secured the freedom of the press thenceforth.
 Peter Minuit was the first of the Dutch governors to seriously consider the rights of the Indians, and in 1926 he formally purchased of them the island of Manhat- tan, on which the settlement of New Amsterdam had been made. He gave $24 for 1t, paying as the Indians asked, In beads and trnkets. The average Ameri- can could hardly read the figures that to- day represent the value of this island, so far beyond the billions do they go. Shortly after this came Adam Roeland- sen, the first school teacher. He eked out his living by taking in washing, for, though education was encouraged, teach CTS were poorly paid. That was two hun dred and seventy-four years ago, and he was the only teacher in the New Meth erlands. Today New York state has S9,00O teachers and their salary aggregates $H.- 0O0000 year. The state has had excel lent legistion in regard to the sale of liquor, and as early as 16%3 lecture on temperance was delivered This came from an unexpected source. After a skirmish with Indians the w~etes demand ed an explanation and apology. Instead several wise chiefs came Into the fort and lectured the governor and his men for selling liquor to the Indians. Manhattan, 1t is said, means 'the place of happy drinking" and these bacchanallan orgies of the red men doubtless foreshadowed present conditions, for New YorlS's daily drink bill now amounts to a million dol lars.
