A few days ago we overheard a prom
inent standpatter discussing Congressman
Madison and his wishy-washy, stradding
policy. He said ED Madison has my
consent to vote as he d-n pleases so
long as he deals out his patronage to the
standpatters as he is now doing" The
professional politician is in it for the pat
ronage only. Take the salaries and
perquisites out Of consideration and nine
tenths Of the politicians would lose their
patriotism.

By vote of l9l tol55 the house Of
representatives Of the United States de-
cided, on Saturday. to re-organ;ze its
committee Of rules. by making it elective
instead Of appointive, and making the
Speaker ineligible to membership. This
is the beginning Of the end Of Speaker
Cannons power. The insurgent repub-
leans and the democrats stood together
as against the standpatters. Only two

Mr.. Pinchot testi6es that Secretary
Wilson practically approved Of Mr..
Pnchots action in writing his famous let
ter to Senator Deliver. Secretary VIII
son vigorously denies the charge and asks
whether it is reasonable to believe he
would authorize an attack upon the pres
ident. Of course it is all very embaras-
sing, particularly when Mr.. Wilson is a
member Of the presidents cabinet and at
the same time an intimate personal friend
OF MIR. Pinchot. 1t is not, however, of the
highest Importance. The question, why
does Mr.. TAFT retain Mr.. Ballinger in
his cabinet?" is far more important than
the Wison-Pinchot controversy. Com

Teddy Roosevelt's approaching home
coming has given an added stimulus to
the third term talk and it the ex-presi-
dent will just say the word Willie Taft
will be down and out in the twinkEng Of
an eye. The wise republicans realize
that the nomination Of Taft would insure
a democratic president, and for the re-
publican ohceholders to be separated
from the pie counter would be terrible.
They have been there so long that they
are incapable Of existing any other way.

REDRESS DEMANDED
FROM GUATEMALA
U. s. Government Stirred Over
Unwarranted Assault on Two
American Negroes.

WASHINGTON, d. G.. April 1.-THE
American minister at Guatemala City
was Instructed by the state Depart
ment to-day to insist upon prompt and
adequate redress for the assaulting and
wounding OF two American negroes by
the Guatemalan commanding officer at
Panzos The officer made the attack
while intoxicated, after imprisoning
the negroes and refusing TO permit
friends to dress their wounds. The
consular agent at Livingston has been
directed by the department to attend
the trial Of the officer to assure Just
treatment of the negroes.
This incident is one of several of
the same nature that have been called
to the departments attention. Among
them are the delay in the Wright case
and the failure to carry out the SEN
tence In the Evans case. There are
cases of violence that occurred some
time ago. Only three of the rioters,
also. who destroyed the property OF
the United Fruit Company have been
arrested The government has allowed
the others to slip through Its fingers.
other cases of unwarranted violence on
the part OF local Guatemalan authors
ties have been reported to the legation.

SHORT TERM ON
CHARGE OF PERJURY
Man Convicted in Henrico is Sent
to Jail for Only Six
Months.
DEPENDS UPON THE EFFECT
Length of Imprisonment Governed
By Gravity of Case in Which
False Swearing Occurs.

Convicted OF falsely swearing, but
proving that he did not utter the per-
jury with felonious intent, Lawrence
tcattyb Morris, young man who 10
wanted In Gioochland county for al
legged breaking and entering cars of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, es-
capped trial before Judge Scott In the
Circuit Court of Henrico Wednesday
and was sentenced to six months In
jail BY Magistrate Puryear. to whom
the case was certified by the higher
court.
Perjury Is reckoned in law by it's
consequences. That IS, II a man
swears to something that would con-
Wet another of murder, the perjurer
can be tried upon felony charge.
IL hia testimony Is in m!sdemeanor
case, and the punishment inflicted
upon the man against whom he testi-
fled was only that imposed upon mis-
demeanor culprits, then the perjury
Is not a felony, hut IL a naisdeneaaer.
The law does not take into consid-
eraiinn- the fact of the fafschood so
much as 1t reckons with the result
of this falsehood.
Section 3742 of the Code of Vir-
ginia says: III any person commit
or procure another person to commit
perjury, he shall. II the perjury be
on a trial for felony. De confined In
the penitentiary not less than two
nor more than ten years: and IL II
be on any other occasion, be con-
lined In Jail not exceeding one year
and be fined not exceeding $1,000"
Under this section Morris was fined
by Magistrate Puryear. Judge Scott
held that the case could not properly
aim IA fair
charge. inasmuch as Morris was not
testifying upon a felony case when
he made the contradictory statement.
He was before Magistrate James T.
Lewis, whom, Judge Scott held, had
no right to try felony case, and
therefore statements made in this
court. though they were false, were
only misdemeanors. for only INSIDE
meanors gould be heard by justice
Of the peace.
The hearing of the perjury charge
against Morris overshadowed that of
his being accused Of breaking and en-
tering the cars OF the c. Il o. rail-
road. because of the pretty legal
question involved.
The robbery charge was first made
against him. an indictment having
been brought In by the grand jury.
but after the examination of one wit
mess the court held that Henrico
was without Jurisdiction and that
the Goochland authorities should In
dict.
81 will order him held here until
such time as they do indict or send
for him. said Judge Scott to Spe-
ciai OfIicer Angie. Immediately after
this decision the trial Of the young
man for perjury was taken up before
Magistrate Puryear and the conviction
on the misdemeanor charge resulted.
Morris will likely serve his time
here before being taken to Goochland
on the more serious charge.
