Acting upon an opinion sent to him
by Secretary of state Elihu Root,
United States Commissioner Shields to-
day reopened the case of Jan Janoff
Pouren. the alleged Russian revolution
ist.> held since August for extradition
on charges of attempted murder. arson
and robbery at Riga, Russia,
Secretary Root held that the little
Russians counsel had not properly
presented his evidence at an earlier
hearing, and that the fugitive should
not be punished for his counsel's mis-
takes. He will now be permitted to
prove that his alleged crimes were of a
political character and therefore not eN-
traditable offenses under our treaty

Side residents signed a petition in Pour
ems behalf. which was submitted to
Secretary Root.
Pouren Attacks Coudert.
When the proceedings were reopened
in the Federal Building to-day Freder-
iok +: Coudert, representing the Rus
sian Government. protested against the
rehearing. When he had finished his
protest and Commissioner Shields had
decided against him. Pouren made a
rush FOR the lawyer and called him a
vile name. Marshal IIenkel Jumped in
front OF the prisoner Just in time TO
save Mr.. Coudert from a blow.
A crowd OF Pouren's friends was pres
snt when the case was called During
the former trial of the case Commits
stoner Shields received three letters
threatening his life II he sent Pouren
back to Russia. The prisoner is repre-
scented by Congressman Herbert Par
sons.
Pouren and his supporters claimed the
prisoner was simply a victim OF Rus
sian persecution and innocent OF the
crimes charged against him, but that
he fought with the revolut.onists in the
Baltic provinces and came TO this coun-
try 10 escape the vengeance OF the
Gar.
Criminal or Patriot.
When presenting the case for the
Russian Government the attorneys
urged that the purpose OF the treaty
between the two coun .r!es was to rid
the United States of undesirable cltl-
Baltic was sporadic disorder" and
the ofenses charged against Pouren
were those of an Anarchist.
After battling for six months Pouren
finally lost his case in the Federal court
on Aug. II last, when Commissioner
Shields declared the evidence against
him to be conclusive so far as con-
Meeting him VITA the crimes went. and
that he could NOT sustain the conten-

months of the calendar year are nc longer duplicated.
 Immigrants, too, are arriving in in creasing numbers. More steerage pas sengers are arriving than are depart ing. The balance Is again in our favor, and this is a desirable and promising change. Many left Us when they could no longer secure employment, and they are coming up because they believe they can secure work.
 Building is going on and the crops are being moved to market. The voters are apathetic because they are busily engaged in their respective vacations. The recovery of a year is a fine record, and all we need ask is that equal prog ress shall be made in the coming year. The tide is rising and no doubt the year to come will restore the condi- tions that were rudely and suddenly snatched from us on the 24th day of last October.

Proposed Biennial Legislatures

The amendment providing for bien- nial legislatures deserves thoughtful attention on the part of voters. If adopted it will put the legislative branch of the government on a bien- nial while the executive branch re- mains on quadrennial footing. This is not logical or in emergencies would not be desirable. Under such a con- fused system we might have a gov ernor who looked one way and legis- lature that looked the other way.
 The voter who decides to support the biennial amendment will stand committed to a change in the term of the executive officers of the state to two years. This is in accordance with the experience of the majority of states, and it may be the goal toward which we are moving.
 At any rate a mixture is confusing, and the adoption of the pending amendment should be and probably will be construed as an instruction to the next legislature to submit an amendment putting the executive branch of the state government on a two-year basis. What is sauce for leg. islators should be sauce for state off cers. A mixed system means friction when warmly contested issues, like prohibition, come up. To ensure a smooth-running government, and to carry into effect the will of the people all should be elected at one time. Un' der the pending amendment a gov ernor will be elected in 1910 to serve four years, and legislature in 1912 to serve two years. The governor of 1910 and the legislature of 1912 may not pull together. This deserves consid- eration.

BOYS WITH BIG SALARIES.
From London Answers.

From London Answers.
 The reported offer of retainer of f2000 a season to Frank Wootton, tn @ clever 13-year- jockey, Illustrates the possibilities of money-making in the saddle. In America such salaries paid to boys in their teens are more common than with us. It is not long since George Odom a lad of Is. was engaged to ride for Mr. ". c. Whitney at f2O00 8 year for two years; and 1t was said that his other earnings in the saddle brought his income to some thing like f4000 a year; while today there are at least four boys in the states, all well under 20, whose earn ings exceed f2000 year. Among older Jockeys, both Tom and Mornington Cannon have enjoyed retainers of f5000 a season, and John Watts enjoyed the same income from MT. Abingdon" for a period of three years. In single fees jockeys have actually received sums greater than +he annual salary of 2 cabinet minister.

Revision of the Tariff

The two parties are pledged to a called session of the new Congress in March to revise the tariff Such a ses- sion would be free to pass other laws, but it would meet ostensibly for the one purpose, a revision of the exorbi- tant and senseless Dingley tariff.
 If, however, both branches of Con gress are republican and the President is republican no one believes revision will be downward. All sorts of plans will be devised, including maximum and minimum tariffs, and the net re- suit would be continued robbery of consumers.
 The one chance of relief to consum- CTS consists in democratic House and a republican Senate. Such a combina- tion would be very apt to bring out compromise that would bring some re- lief to overtaxed consumers. Some of the exorbitant profits of the trusts ere ated and fostered by Dingleyism would be reduced. The reactionaries of the Senate would hesitate before they re- jected all offers of a democratic House, lest they might in that way arouse the country and lead to landslides later on.
 The real hope of real revision con- sists therefore in democratic House, and not a few are giving no little at- tention to the congressional races in the contested states. The tariff is the chief issue in those races. The intelli- gent consumer is alert and wide-awake, and some observers think there will be a democratic House even if the next President should be MT. Taft.
