 It begins to look as though the Democratic star was in the ascend ancy, and as if success would be rerched upon it's banner in November. There is one thing certain. and that is, the vote is going to be 50 close that it may be regarded as Demo- cratic victory. even if MT. Taft is elected. for if the Republican party could be shorn oi all the power that is given 10 it by the hordeS of Fedora cffice holders and the influence O. public patronage Democratic snccess would indeed be assured.-Baaumont Enterprise

WRIGHT HAS FALLEN.

The Graphics confidence in General Luke E. Wright, the Democratic sec retary of war, has been misplaced. He has sold his birthright for a mess of potage. and in the full flush of his newfound honors he will attempt to proselyte his state and to force upon Democratic Tennessee brand of treason similar 10 his own.
 We have fallen upon evil times in- deed. when a man has such an unholy lust for political preferment that he will renounce the principles and teachings of his father for .he glitter and pomp which goes with q place at the pie counter of an opposite faith If General Wright. as a loyal Demo- crat, was good enough for the high office heretofore bestowed upon him by a Republican administration, We can not see the necessity for an abandonment of lifelong principles in order to hold place in the cabinet.
 The world has had it's share of traitors, and they have all reaped the same harvest of disgrace and ignom- iny. for | was written long ago that he who sows the wind must reap the whirlwind. General Wright should pause moment and consider the fate Of Gresham and Carlisle. These men stood nigh in the estimation of both parties until, in response 10 an nnholy desire for political power, they sub- nited to dishonor and enjoyed for a sew brief months their illgottea glory Where are they now, and where dc Ney stand in the estimation Of a con- stitaeney which was once proud t( honor them.
 Let the Secretary of War go on wit bis prostitution Of high standing but let him not complain 1t the pen ally he must inevitably pay.

AMENDMENT NO. 10.
Enterprise.

Mayor Duley's account Of tne pro- gress of the movement for .he adcp- tion of Amendment No. 10 is most en- eouraging. IL is good 10 know that majority of our people havz come 10 the conclusion that development Is more necessary than anything else 2 his time and that Amendment No. II offers the vehicle that has been lae<- ing.
 It will operate 10 give Us ,ocal gov ernment and, with is passage, tha failure of any locality to reap is benefits will he the faul- of lie 'ocal- i.v itself.
 Contrary to the minority opinion, Amendment No 10 will not i'd a sin gle jot or title to' the states powers. but on the other hand. will increase the power of towns, cities and coun- ties. This is the one thing Needed 70 develop the state in Way which will leave no room for complaint, anG every section will participate equally in these benefits with every other section
 The state has no right to say thaj tais county shall not spend is money for Improvements if it wants to al though, under present conditions, that i, inst what the state does do II is government centralized and 10 state can prosper as il should prosper un, Ger snch conditions.
 With the adoption Of Amendment No. 1o each county. city and town car spend it's money just as it pleases. ant the amount ot development for none! spent will depend entirely upon tht people Of those immediate localities.
 Sentiment in favor Of the passage O this amendment is growing stronger ard We believe it will pass with ar overwhelming majority

HIS CASE IS
 LIKE JANUARY'S
Now the Prison Board Has Been Ask. ed to Parole Clarence Abrams, Who Stole Harness While Drunk-GOv. HOch Alone Can Act.

LeayenWOrth. Kan, Aug. 1e.-Clar- tired convict who has a case similar to that of Anderson, alias January, which attracted so much attention NO years ago. appeared before the Kansas penitentiary parole board and asked for release a few days ago. Abrams has wife and child in St. Louis and made pathetic plea for freedom that he could return to them.
 Abrams was in Leavenworth work ing as fireman in the spring of 1899. when he started out on pro-
 tracted spree which ended in the ealing of set of harness. Under the old larceny law he was given se were sentence of seven years in the penitentiary Abrams served three years and eight months, when he was made a prison "trusty. The first day ha was allowed outside the walls he ~an awaE This was in March. 1903, and he was not heard from until ne was recaptured in St. Louis in De- cember 1908 Abrams was reported Y IT eX-conyict who received $50 re- ward for turning him up
 In the interval. while Abrams was a. large he married and now has a wife and child living in St. Louis. He was employed as mechanic and had charge of a force of men when recap tured.
 Letters were sent in from the chief of police and number of widely known residents of St. Louis asking that Abrams be granted freedom. In addition a number of firms and en- i ployment agencies offered him work.
 Abrams lost all the original time f he had served when he ran away, and as ne was sentenced under the old jaw the prison board directors could not consider him for parole. The
 members joined in request to Gov ,4Och to grant Abrams pardon. Any thing short of pardon would not per init Abrams to return to his family in SI. Louis Convicts under parole are not allowed to leave the state

DEFEAT WAS EXPECTED

New Haven Road. However. Looks for
 Redress In Massachusetts Courts.
 Tn railroad circles here the defeat of all legislation in Massachusetts relat- ing to the Boston and Maine merger as indicated in the lower house of the Massachusetts legislature yesterday was not unlocked for though it was ex- pected to take the form of disagree ment between the house and the sen ate. The effect now from tho railroad point of view is to transfer the whole matter to the state and federal courts. It is pointed out however, that the de- cree asked for by Attorney General Malone from the Massachusetts Su- preme court does not refer to the Bos- ton and Maine matter but merely to the Massachusetts trolleys. This in- dicates division of the case as 1t comes before the Massachusetts court and postponement at least of the Bos- ton and Maine branch of the matter which may be taken up later, Mean while the federal suit will also pro- ceed, railroad opinion here, however, apparently regarding 1t less seriously than the Massachusetts case
 The latter case is now hung up until upon the form of that decree will de- pend the next step of the New Haven company

TWO ORDINANCES TO BE REPORTED Committee Puts Off Decision on Speculation, Traffic and
 Express Stand
 Laws. ASK REGULATORS LICENSE Plan for Repeal of Present Ordinance Opposed by Prominent Citizens --Inflammablc Oils Bill
 Gets By.
\SK REGULATORS LICENSE

After a session that lasted until al- most midnight the aldermanic com mlttee on ordinances decided to make favorable reports on two petitions which have been placed before them while the other three, which were considered last night. have been laid over for further consideration and will accordingly not be reported on at the meeting on Monday night. The two which will be reported favorably are the one for the licensing of all persons who sell lnnammable oils and the petition for the amendment of the ordinances so that the police depart ment will have authority to act in the case of untidIly kept back yards, where garbage and other detrimental refuse Is allowed to accumulate. On the former ordinance as 1t will be re- ported the license fee Is to be $l for the keeping of anything up 10 two gallons while the fee of s5 will be charged for anything In excess of that amount.
 The petition for the amendment concerning the clearing of filthy back yards was first brought up, George Scranton was the first to speak. He said that at present the board of health had some authority in the matter, but It felt that it was re- stricted to cases which could clearly be shown as detrimental to health iIc favored the power going to the police and when questioned if he did not think that it might result In q conflict of authority he said he did not believe that was possible.
 Attorney William s. Pardec also spoke in favor of the amendment which simply confers on the police department an authority which al. ready rests with the board of health
 Tho petition for the repeal of tho present ordinance prohibiting specu lation in thoater tickets providing tha 1t either be modified so as to allow speculation under license or be en 1 tircly repealed was next taken up. Al | derman Cunningham, who presented it to the board In behalf of several cit izens. declared that the prohibition O speculation had been tested in sever al parts Of tho country and had beei found illegal. He suggested that ; license be SO arranged that New Ha ven men might be favored and out siders be practically prohibited by tn, amount of the fee which they nigh have to pay. He declared that specu lation was going on right along a the local theaters and stated that h
 had gone to one of them himself on holiday and had found that they wer
