j. Freed by Court for
Shaving His Iucurable Wife.

Paris, Sept, 30.--A jury in the
assizes court has conceded, at least
tacitly. the right go end life to end
hopeless suffering.
A workman of Baudin surrender
ed to the police some time ago, say
ing he had shot his wife at the re-
quest of the woman in order to put
her out of pain. He was arraigned
on the charge of murder. The EVIL
dence showed that his wife was In
curably diseased and suffered con-
tinuously and intensely.
She appealed repeatedly to her
husband to Kill her. He finally
agreed and shot her with a revolver.
1t also has been shown that Baudin
was a man of weak will, who was
dominated by his wife.
The jury acquitted him.

THE ITASCA SCHOOL DISTRICT
DECISION.

In the ordinary transactions of
life silence means consent In the
purview Of the constitution, as inter
preted by j dge Wear of Hillsboro,
1t means d.st ent. For be holds that
when two " more propositions are
submitted at an election any propo-
sition, to prevail, must get, not
merely a ma jority of the votes cast
on that proposition, but majority
of the votes cast in that election.
That may be---although we hope
otherwise accordance with the
constitution, but ii is assuredly in
discordance with what Senator Till
man has termed cornfield law.
Cornfield law, as we conceive it, is
common sense unrefined.
Whenever citizen goes to the
polls and votes on one proposition
and refuses or fails to vote on anoth-
er, the inference of common sense is
that, as to one of those propositions,
either he had formed no conclusive
opinion, or that he was Indifferent to
It utterly. Therefore to Concede to
the silence of one citizen the same
value that is given to the vocatiVe
no of another citizen is to put pre-
MUM on doubt or indifference.
The human mind is capable of a
neutral attitude. More than that, 1t
often consents to the doing OF things
without asserting that the act is
necessary or that the reasons of 1t
are valid. Only by keeping that psy-
Geological fact in mind Is rational
Interpretation to be made of the ST.
lence of those citizens who though
taking the trouble to go to the polls
do not vote either year nay on
one of the propositions s. 0itted
1t Is inconceivable to us that If q
citizen were positively opposed to G
proposition he would fail to record
his opposition after he had taken
| the trouble to go to the polls. If the
constitution does in fact view the
question contrariwise, then it yields
a tribute to slothful or stolid citizen
ship that would greatly lessen the
esteem which we have for that an
cient and beneficent document.
The question which Judge Wear
! has raised in the ItasCa school dis
trict case has been long mooted IL
an informal way, and it is not
creditable commentary that at thf!
/ late day it should occasion any doub
whatever. The folly Of the man who
should build a million dollar struc
ture without first having determined
whether he owned the lot is some
what analogous to ours in haylnl
proceeded so far without resolving
this question. The only excuse W.
tcan foresee is the likelihood thai
the higher courts will adjudge the
question to be preposterous.-Dalla'

NOT THE MONEY, BUT INCUR
RupTIBLE PRINCIPLE.

Persons of delicate perceptions and
fine intuition5 never misunderstood
the Hon. Benjamin r. Tillman, VI
South Carolina, although that rugged
exponent of the eternal verities Is
conspicuous victim Of popular error.
The Senator frequently is Offered up
as a sacrifice my his own impulsive
words, which disdain the finer dis
tinctions necessary to a complete and
adequate expression of his emotions.
In his behalf we offer this as an apol-
ogetic preface to a statement which
will set him right in the matter of the
ten dollar dinner.
We must repudiate utterly the the
DRY that Mr.. Tillman is like Barkis-
"a trifle near"-and we deny that the
reason he refuses to tuck his legs un-
der the banquet cloth with the other
DISTINGUISHED citizens of the South
who will honor President Taft at Co
Ilumbia November is financial. Mr..
lTillman cares nothing for the ten dol
lars involved in the controversy. He
lis concerned only with the principle
of the thing, but in his reckless way
he does not make this clear in de
Ginning to purchase banquet ticket
The Senator believes, although in his
usual careless disregard of himself he
does not explain it, that the ideal OF
democratic simplicity is flow of soul
and feast of reason Is maintained in
the celebrated dollar dinner which
had the whole-hearted approval OF
William Jennings Bryan.
Between the dollar and the ten dol
lar dinner is that wide gulf which sep
arated the frugality of Cincinnatus
from the luxury of Lucullus, and Mr.
Tillman will not observe without pro-
test tendency to depart from the
healthy democratic ideas represented
by the plain fare Of the former. Mr.
Tillman knows that the citizens of a

of the two crops extended over a Pc

John d. Rockefeller is something of

on the price of oil. In talking to Il

that Christianity did not consist of
committing to memory certain pas
sages of Scripture, and that we need
less Scripture-quoting and more acts
