The Aberdeen Weekly says: "Hon.
A. j. M Laurin made a masterful
Speech on the floor of the United
States Senate Saturday, directed in
the interest of strict economy in the
expenditures of the government. He
urged that the country throw off the
500, 100000 military expenditure
and let the Philippine islands go.
The passage of private, pension bills
was strongly opposed and law favor
ing head tax on immigrants we're
favored. These revenues should be
by the government he said,
SO as to permit the removal OF duties
on laborCrs tools, printing presses,
bagging and ties. His speech was
an argument against the iniquitous
policy of the protective tariff and
contended that the constitution gives
authority for levying customs duties
for revenue only. IN debate on con-
stitutional limitations, Mr. M'Laurin
is the peer of the lamented George"

LUCK FOR A BURGLAR.
How Consideration for Sick
Woman Saved Robbers Life.

indianapolis, Ind, May 15.-The ele-
ment of luck i'm the fortunes of a
burglar was never more APPARENT
than when he was caught dead to
rights, and then escaped.
At the home of Mrs Kate Johnson
two burglars appeared. One of them
climbed to the roof of an addition in
the rear and was just about to enter
a second STORY window when he was
discovered by Charles Signor, a
brother in-law of Mrs. Johnson Sig
nor sprang from his bed and seized
a revolver whem he heard the man
on the roof The man was on his
hands and knees, and helpless.
Another man stood in the yard be-
low and Signcr could see that he
held a revolver in his hand SigTor' s
wife was critically i'll In the house,
and a physician had warmed the mem
bers of the family not to permit her
to become excited over any matter.
SignOr remembered the physicians
instructions, and he was almost as
helpless as the man ON the roof who
looked into the barrel of SignOr's re-
volyer at close range.
Get down the way you came or
I'll blow your brains out" SignOr said
in a low tone as he thrust his
weapon in the burglars face. The
burglar asked him not to shoot and
cralled down the roof and jumped to
the ground, where he met his pal and
ran away from him.

So far as we have noticed, says the
Sardis Reporter, there is little proba-
bility that there will be any other can
didates for United States senate TO
succeed Senator McLaurin, than the
senator himself and ex-Gov. Varda-
ran Nor do we think there is much
Coubt as to how the race will end II
there are no others to enter the field.
I'M fact, we are inclind to think that
even if Senator McLaurfn should find
it absolutely impossible to make
campaign before election, he would
still defeat his opponent by such a
great majority that the latter might
be able to convince his friends that
he didn't want the office any way
In some respects Senator McLaurln
! has few equals and no superiors In
AhH states political arena, and If Var
daman doesn't know it now, he will
find it out before the next senatorial
race is ended. Forest Register.

JUVENILE COURT
NOW IN ACTION
Judge Whitney Sends a Boy to
Reform School Until
Majority.

The Juvenile Court is now in full
swing, with Circuit Judge Whitney
acting as interpreter of the law that
was drawn up by himself while he
was serving as chief deputy to Attor-
ney General Hemenway.
Judge Whitney judges the youth of
the land in his chambers, and has al
ready indicated that he believes
leniency and advice go farther than
summary punishment. Samuel Smith,
however, did not yield to the gentle
suit Samuel is bound for the Boys In
dustrial School. to there remain until
he is qualified to become a voter.
The boy was brought before Judge
Whitney last week and was allowed
to go at liberty upon his promise to
secure a position and report back to
the judge of the Juvenile Court on
Wednesday. He did not return, how
ever, but did secure a position and
made use of the opportunity to sell
a bicycle that did not belong to him
and spend the proceeds in a general
jollification. Judge Whitney does not
like to send youthful offenders to the
reform school, but he was reluctantly
forced to decide that it was the best
place for Samuel in view of his ap-
parent frailties.
The Question of Straus.
Attorney Leon Straus must make ex-
nj A
way having been asked by Judge De
Bolt to investigate the conduct of
Straus in connection with two divorce
cases in which Attorney Glenn K.
Quinn appeared.
It seems that Quinn did all of the
work in connection with drawing the
divorce papers and appearing in court,
and that Straus secured the fees and
costs, neither of which got farther
than his own pocket. To this Quinn
has naturally objected, and his state
ment of the circumstances to Judge
De Bolt convinced the latter that
Straus' conduct was well worthy the
attention of the Attorney General.
The charges against Straus arise
mainly in connection with the divorce
action instituted by Mrs. Nellie
Thomas against her husband, King c.
Thomas. Mrs. Thomas is victim of
consumption and can live but a few
weeks at the most. Her husband, an
ablebodied man, was summoned to APP
pear in court yesterday and explain
why he had not obeyed a court order
to pay the costs of the divorce action.
1t was then that Attorney Quinn made
explanations, and his references to
Straus' conduct convinced Judge De
Bolt that the charges should be inves-
tigated.

colonel consulted the chief of police,
and that official said he could take
them to a nice place On the way the
colonel confessed that the department
did not furnish his regiment with bath

them to Waikiki, where the bottom was
nice and corally, and the regiment
bathed. The next day there was com

who objected very strongly to naked
men bathing in the open. The chief
confessed to him that he had forgotten
to state that all the cottages along the
beach were provided with opera glasses.
(Laughter) Speaking seriously, he
said if his good fairy godmother asked
him what he wished for most he would
ask for a silver tongue to express on
behalf of the Army its appreciation for
the hospitality which Honolulu had
shown the service, and he concluded
