The verdict In the Kaufman case
was received In Canton with uttel
surprise and then contempt for men
who found defendant guilty of assault
and battery when the helpless victim
lay dead in acemetery over In Hutch
inson county. The people were deep
u aroused over the farce called q
trial, and many expressed the opinion
that In the result of the late trial
George w. Egan has been vindicated
Z thousand times, and hundreds have
expressed admiration for the man
who had the courage to fight as he
did Ia the face Off combination that
determined he should not have the
chance te prosecute the woman again
The reason for Egan's disbarment
comes out Of the legal farce clear as
the MONDAY sun. Mrs. Kaufman
- found guilty Of assault-the girl
died. Under this Interpretation Of
the evidence no one need hesitate to
commit m assault in Moody county,
but Tho Moody county jury who tried
Mn. Kaufman should find no fault

Beginning with the colonies, and com.

has gathered and stored chiefly this
supreme idea: Divine right of liber-

The progressive senator's have about
given up hope Of tariff revision down
ward. President Taft Is pledged to
the downward policy and may give
the interests q jar at the end Of the
campaign. The Aldrich crowd know

would leave them In possession Of the
high tariff camp and they would find
no fault with that.

some OF THE MISTAKES
THAT ARTISTS MAKE

, sail drawing and her staysails and jibs
bellied out most picturesquely. That
in fact, is the usual way the artists
paint them. The old square ringers
seldom sail before the wind, prefer
ring to take the slant little quarter
ing for the very reason that if they
went before it their head sails would
be absolutely useless. Those pretty
staysails and jibs couldn't swell and
draw the way the artist has them.
That's why the shippers didn't sail
that way
Some of us old-timers get around
| the table up in the club once in a
while and cuss these pictures. But
the major portion of humanity doesn't
know any better. Everything is steel
now. The old wooden navy and its
school of seamanship is gone. and with
it the pride and life study of ropes,
canvas spars, and marlin. The old
was the picturesque, so they still paint
II, puI Iuey uuu l KNOW II any MORE
at least the younger ones don't, and
those who do know it are careless he
cause they think no one will know the
( difference
And the painters of the new are
worse still. The steel ships allow Of
even less deviation from fact than the
old ones. They are a matter of riyets
and plates and braces, and everything
is steel When an artist with imagin-
alton, nerve, and little information
falls afoul of a steel ships deck the
result is awful"

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
This is the season of the year for
marine pictures" said a Philadelphia
club member the other day, land no
tice that most of the picture stories
have their seascapes most prominently
displayed in their windows and on
their walls. And any practical yachts
man will look at them and laugh.
when the summer begins to loom
up and the idea of joys afloat is more
seasonable the crafty picture dealer
puts forth his painting of ships and
shipping. A lot of us, art dilettantes
and yachting cranks combined, are bit
ten regularly. But those of us who
know the old navy and the rules and
regulations of the windjammer days
Just look at them and smile.
THE fault of the matter is that nc
matter how good an artist may be he
seems to be literally at sea when he
begins to paint a ship, Of course
! some of the oldtimers who were sail
ors before they were painters or who
have studied the sea for years know
better and never make mistakes. But
not many Of them are altogether i'm
mune. Such a thing as an absolutely
correct sea picture is a rarity.
The trouble with them is they are
too anxious to make things picturesque
There's a big picture in the window
of prominent Germantown art deal

much art and not enough facts. 1t
shows an almost broadside view of a
working sloop passing lighthouse at
night. The lighthouse is a fixed red
light and throws flaming crimson on
the waters for two miles. The boat
though viewed from the side, shows
both her port and starboard lights,
and they reflect at least half a mile
away. You could see but one of them
if the picture was correct, and that
wouldn't reflect on the water at all
because from the way she was head
ing it would be grean.
"A little further up the street the
same day | saw an old fashioned
square-rigged ship sailing majesticalIy

THE COLOBIAN
PRESIDENT RESIGNS

HAMBURG, Germany, July 81
General Rafeal Reyes, president Or
Colombia, is quoted here as saying
that he had cabled his resignation this
morning to the president of the Co
lombian senate at Bogota.
He says that the Colombian congress
which convened July 20, is clearly
opposed to the treaty with Panama
and the United States and as their
view is so contrary to his own he does
not believe that he should remain
president any longer. He says that
it is foolish not to recognize Panama
and that he cannot have any SYM
pathy with the views Of congress In
this respect.
