BY JOHN F. M'INTYRE.

In my opinion DIR. Crippen will
be acquitted of the murder of his
wife, Belle Elmore. The principle
ov law known as Lord HaIe's rule
will save him. The crown attor-
Deys will fail to establish by direct
proof the basic part of the corpus
deficit, the body of the crime-the
fact that Belle Elmore ic actually
dead or that DIR. Crippen used vio-
lence upon her sufficient to cause
death. .
Such an acquittal would not
come from a, jury, which is sway
ed by sentiment. The jury, no
doubt, would be morally certain
of Crippen's. guilt, and would
bring in a verdict of conviction on
this certainty.
Will Never Go to Jury.
But Crippen's case will never
go to the jury. 1t will be argued
on bloodless legal principles be-
fore the icy reason of a judge. No
sentiment will have part in that
argument. II will be a marshall
ing of legal precepts, impersonal
as rock, rigid from their crust of
centuries of custom.
1t will be point for the Judge
to decide. His decision must con-
form to the. law. He must solve
the point as he would arrive at
solution of a problem In chess or
algebra. His feeling cannot color
his judgment. No question of
moral guilt or Innocence may en-
ter into 1t. His passionless eyes
must not take in the spectacle of
the shivering wretch in the dock
to whom the decision Is life or
death. The point will be purely
a matter of English law.

63 guns near Put-in-Bay, Lake
Erie. This was one battle where
the mixers had no fear of REIN
forcements, for there was in it
from the start every armed boat

lakes above Niagara Falls. So
they went to it unembarrassed,

Poindexter said: '"The question

the west of the mountains as 1t is
whether you shall have a senator
from Washington or a senator
from st. Paul and Rhode Island.
Seattle is destined to be a
great city, but much of the great

for it depends upon the develop

"Woe to the man, official or
private citizen, who does not real
ize this. We should abhor the
conduct of a public servant falling
to do his duty in this regard and
we must equally condemn our
selves, the people who are as
much responsible as the public
servants. If they are content
with the mere establishment of
law and order and fail to learn
whether justice has been denied,
we should use the whole power of
the government to right this
wrong.
"My conclusion is that it be-
comes the highest, most pressing
duty to see that complete justice
is guaranteed both the employer
and the employe as well as the
people themselves.

PRETTY TAME THESE
ASHTON MEETINGS

The Ashton campaign is not
only a joke, but it is becoming
positively hilarious, in its comedy
features.
Now last night great stand
was to be made to stampede the
whole town.
After much advertising and the
enlisting of local psellbinders, the
whole thing flattened out COM
pletely.
Judge Shackelford and Johnny
Gallagher held a great meeting at
Pallies hall. They had just "a
people present, and-Gallagher, aft
er storming the battlements OF
heaven with his perorations, de-
clared it was Just like talking to
jury, that 1t was colder than
Alaska. He never got hand.
But this was a regular boom
meeting compared with the one
held by Judge Stiles at Gilbert
hall. Any kind of show can get
a crowd at Gilbert hall, but
Judge Stiles faced just 19 men.
And they were mostly for Poin-
dexter.
The further you go the worse il
gets, however.
After much persuasion, Frank
Baker was enlisted to go out and
boom things at country school
house. Frank went out and
found the school house all right
but it was locked. He waited un-
til $40, and not soul came
even to open the doors, so he
came back to town.
Say, isn't this Ashton cam
paign enthusiastic" though?

DIVIDE PROFITS
WITH BREWERY

PUYALLUP, Sept. 10.-Ever
since Puyallup voted dry, Tacoma
breweries have turned little
money by delivering beer daily to
those whose thirst knows not the
local option law. Now the coun-
Gil is going to make the brewer
les divide the profits of this busi-
ness with the city. An ordi-
nance has been introduced fixing
the license for beer wagons at
SIS a day. Two wagons three
times a week, they figure, will
yield a revenue of $50 a week.

The hitting ability of baseball

often that a team IS able 10 win long

But in such an event two things
are necessary in the makeup OF the
ball club. It must be strong

All this is calculated to give what
constitutes a successful ball club and
of course, If a team is strong in every
department, it must be q pennant win

other talents enter into teams

AS stated above teams hitting
ability is often hard 10 estimate, espe

For this reason, it looks as if the hit

the ability shown or displayed in thi
line depends the pennant. At leas
this is the writer's opinion, and can b
