Congressman and the Courts.

In a recent case of considerable i'm
portance regarding a contract for pa
per for the federal printing Office some
controversy has arisen over the right
of the courts to summon senator's and
congressman to appear, either as wit
nesses or as defendants. The United
States senate has instructed Senators
Smoot, Bourne and Fletcher not to ap-
pear. while the house has taken a diff
ferent attitude and instructed Con
gressmen Cooper, sturgis and Finley
to answer the courts summons. The
house bases It's action on the fact that
the gentlemen have not been cited as
members of congress, hut merely as
individuals while acting under the u
thority of a statute which had been
enacted by congress ITSELF
The paragraph in the constitution
which bears on this point is a portion
Of Article /, Section vi, which reads:
They shal in all cases, except\~ treason,
felony and breach of peace, be privileged
from arrest during their attendance at
the sessions of their respective houses
and In going to and returning from the
same.
II would seem from this, the only
passage bearing directly on the point,
that congressman and senators are, to
a certain extent, immune from arrest
and consequent punishment while in
attendance upon the sessions of con
gress., But the constitution does not
provide immunity from court appear
ance while acting under special au-
thority created by them in formal leg
islative action. The action of con-
gressmen and senators has directly in
volved the government in legal con
~troversy and the committee of three
from each house, which has been sum-
moned before court, acted for the gov
eminent in the first place in the trans
action which is now being tried out.
The question seems to involve sena-
torial honor and supremacy, If we are
to Judge from the action Of the sem
ate. rather than the continued re-
sponsibility of senators when through
a misunderstanding of. contracts the
government is made party to a suit
over the purchase of supplies. To q
casual observer 1t looks as though
the members of the committee, which
through their OWE action and under
statutes enacted by congress brought
ON the trouble. should bear some of
the responsibility Of seeing it

The SwOue Case.

The whole country has been aroused
recently over the investigation into the
cause of the death of Colonel Swope,
the aged millionaire philanthropist of
Kansas City. That he was poisoned
has been affirmed by the coroner's
Jury, which has also added that the
poison was administered in a capsule
by DR.. Hyde, the husband of a niece.
But whether or not 1t was given with
the deliberate purpose of killing is an
entirely different question and is for
the courts to decide,
In reading the testimony of the case
one, Is taken by suggestion back into
dark Egypt. where poisoning of every
conceivable kind and description was
reduced TO a fine art and where noble
men and kings alike kept a coterie of
prisoners constantly in their employ.
The inference to be drawn from the
verdict of the coroner's jury in the
Swope case reminds one Of the times
OF Nero and other infamous Roman
SulpOIOASs OuN tue lccLlulOuy TCBdIQ-
ing the typhoid culture purchased by
Or. Hyde n the number of typhoid
cases which followed almost immedi-
ateIy among the heirs to the Swope
estate, who we're under the profes-
sional care of DR.. Hyde. is almost
ghoulish in its suggestion.
Poisoning has played almost as
great a part in history as has war.
The ancients resorted to poison con
stantly as political measure for the de-
feat OF their rivals. In Greek and Ro-
man times poisoning was one OF the
necessary elements in political and So
eial afairs. During the middle ages
It was carried on as a profession on a
commission basis of remuneration. In
Italy and France 1t became a source
Of profit and families became i'm
mensely wealthy simply by the removal
OF wealthy young husbands with dis.
agreeable dispositions One couple In
France kept a diary which showed 500
victims to their discredit. Italy was
even worse than France and produced
a couple who poisoned over 700 young
husbands and wives ror profit.
But recent years and the advance,
mont CT the science OF medicine and
chemical analysis has made 1t hard for
poisoning to be carried on with any

Cattle and Meat Shortage.

The report from the Department of
Commerce and Labor on the meat
shortage resolves itself into a consider
alton of the shrinkage in the number
Of cattle, sheep and hogs marketed
during the last year. According to the
report there has been a greater de-
crease in the receipts of live stock at
the big markets during the last year
than during any yea since 1905. The
receipts of hogs alone in Chicago show
a decrease of 10 per cent; receipts in
Kansas City decreased II per cent; in
Omaha, IL per cent; in st. Joseph,
Mo-, 2S per cent; at st. Louis. 4 per
cent.
During the last summer there was
some talk among stock feeders that
the price Of corn was making extensive
feeding impossible. Corn at 60 cents
a bushel could not be proftably used
as a f~attener so long as the price of
marketable stock remained where it
was. and the INT was true of hogs,
also. The result was that thousands
and thousands of grass-fed cattle were
sold on the market. According to the
farmers judgment this was the only
profitable way to sell.
Another element which accounts for
the decrease in the receipts Of fattened
cattle is that feeders have been hard
to get at prices which could make
feeding profitable, with the result that
the great feeding pens of the middle
west have not turned out so much fat
tened stuff as formerly. On the other
hand, the pastures and range of the
west and southwest are shipping d.
rectly to the packing house centers.
1t is not the price OF live stock, but
the profit in cattle raising and fatten-
ing that determines the farmer and
stock raiser to go in heavy or light
and governs the output that later
comes on the market.

Missouri Rirer Imnrnrement

The first fruits Of the great move
ment for systematic waterway i'm
provement promise to materialize in
the present congress, whose commit
tees have practically decided on the
appropriations to be recommended,
and in the scheme thus outlined the
Missouri river comes In for recognition
only for the stretch between it's mouth
and Kansas City. In other words,
present prospects are that whatever
work is authorized for the upper Mis-
souri, will be along the lines that have
heretofore been followed for fixing the
channel and incidentally protecting
the banks at the danger points rather
than with a view to increasing its nav
igation possibilities over what It now
offers.
OF course, there Is no particular
reason why the deepening of the chan
mel should stop at Kansas City, except
that Kansas City is the first great
traffic point, and further, that Kansas
City has been active, energetic and
continuous in demanding that the Mis-
souri, be made a highway of ~naviga-
ton. 1t is possible hat congress and
the engineers in charge may decide to
extend the work Of Improvement from
Kansas City to Omaha and Sioux City,
and that, of curse. is sure to come
eventually If what is done below Kan
sas City meets expectations. But it
will not come by Omaha simply sitting
still and, micawber-like. waiting for
something to turn up.

Rubbing il Z.

Referring to the report that Mr..
Bryan's intimate friends in Nebraska
are keeping him in reserve to run for
the presidency again in 1912, Mr..
Bryan's Commoner reprints an article
from the Wheeling, w. Va, Register.
which concludes as follows:
Mr., Bryan is a victim of more willful
falsehood and misrepresentation than any
other American citizen, and few other
American citizens are less deserving of
such treatment, He is one Of the most dis
tinguished men in the private life Of the
nation, and there is nothing in his honora-
BILE and useful record to Justify the at
tempt to make him the laughing stock OF
the country.
Now, we protest again and call on
Edgar Howard to protest with us.
When Mr.. Bryan's friends say they are
for some other candidate, provided,
always" Mr.. Bryan does not want the
nomination, are they trying to make
him "the laughing stock of the coun-
try?" Why should the boosting of
Bryan for a fourth running make him
any more ''the laughing stock of the
country than did the boosting of MIR.
Bryan for a third defeat? We ear
nestly demonstrate against such unfair
conclusions. We insist that Mr.. Bryan
can run every four years for the re-
maihder of his natural life without be-
coming "the laughing stock of the
country"

AuthorshIp Of sherman Law.

ARN ~
In discussing the authorship of the Sher-
man antitrust law last Sunday we said
that ex-senator George f. Edmunds Of
Vermont, probably referred to himself
when he stated in a recent letter that not
Mr.. Sherman. but "one Of the members of
the senate judiciary committee" drew up
the antitrust law. II may be, however,
that the reference was to Senator George
r. Hoar of Massachusetts,. who says POSI-
lively In his autobiography that he was
the reviser who whipped the original sher-
man antitrust bill into It's present shape
Mr., Edmunds and Mr.. Hoar were both
OF the conference committee
which adjusted the points In dispute as to
the details OF the measure between tho
house and the senate. But whether Mr..
Hoar or Mr., Edmunds did the lions share
OF the work on the antitrust law, Mr..
Sherman's name was the one finally and
unalterably attached to II.
