The opinion of Attorney Gen.
eral Guion in which he holds that
the owners of McEnery Scrip
lands have right to their titles
under the Toomer act of 1905, in
spite OF the provisions of the
Hughes bill, has been given out
by Fred Grace, register of the
State Land Office. In giving out
the opinion for the benefit of the
McEnery scrip land owners, Mr..
Grace says that it will be impos-
sible for him to issue patents UNI
der the Toomer act until the final
decision of the Supreme Court,
holding the Toomer act valid, is
received, and he reminds those
who have money on deposit or
those who expect to file their
claims, that nothing can be done
until the official record is receiv-
ed. The opinion of the attorney
general affects many thousand
acres in the State.

The Decision Of the Lower Court
Affirmed.

The State Supreme Court on
Monday last, among a number OF
decisions rendered, affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the
paving suit entitled James G..
Fourmy ct al, VS.. The Town of
Franklin. The Supreme Court
declared that the act of the Leg
islature granting municipalities
the right to pave was constitu-
tional, but set aside the awarding
of the contract. The decision is
as follows;
"James c.. Fourmy ct al. VS.. Town
of Franklin, ct al.-Act No. 147, p.
POI of 1906, empowering cities and
towns 1.-THE City of New Orleans and
City of Shreveport excepted), having
a certain population, and parish
sites, to levy local assessments on
AUDITING real estate for the purpose
of paving or otherwise improving
sidewalks and curbings, is lawful
exercise of the taxing power, and is
not repugnant to articles and 232 OF
the State Constitution, or to the XIV
Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States, guaranteeing to the
citizen due process of law. Whether
local assessment for street purposes
is necessary or not, or will confer any
special benefits on the abutting prop
erty, are not judicial questions, when
ordered in admissible cases, unless
there be such a plain and manifest
abuse of power as takes the case out
of legislative discretion. Under Sec
ton 2, Act No. 147, p. POI of 1898, paw
ing contracts must be let to the lowest
responsible bidder who can give sat
isfactory security, and where Town
Council awards such contract to
one of the bidders, ignoring two lower
bids, without even plausible reasons,
the award will be set aside as an
abuse of the discretion vested in the
Council. Judgment affirmed

Epigrams From The Speeches of

Count Cavour, that great Italian who re-made Italy. once said that the wisdom of the statesman consisted in choosing the right time. So is it with the wisdom of those who stand behind statesmen. If there be some great work to be done, they must choose the right time for doing it.
 There is a great work to be done in this country.
 It is to support the Constitution of the United States against being un- dermined by men in office who have sworn to uphold it. The Republican party has put men in office, who have done such undermining, and done it openly and avowedly. They have done it by urging encroachments on the powers reserved in the Constitu- ton to the States or the people It is time to stop this cry of New Nationalism The Democratic party has chosen this time to meet the is sue. The work before them is to drive the Republican party from pow er-a power which it has misused Maine has begun the work. In the far North, on the frontier of the na- ton, the tide has turned.

HA[LENS FINE CAMPAIGN WILL
 BEAR RESULTS
Methods of Unselfish Candi-
 date Shine Beside Those of His Political Opponent.

Edward F. Hallen, Democratic can- Atdate for Judge of Probate, is re- garded as having certain victory in his hands. MT. Hallen has served as for many years and has in this office done hundreds of days of work for the city The office is entirely with out salary and the services of MT. Hallen have therefore been uncom- pensated except by the affection and praise of his fellow citizens.
 In the present campaign MT. Hal len has devoted his energies to the discussion of state and national issues and has probably said less about his own candidacy than any man who has heretofore presented himself for an office in Bridgeport. He has also served the common cause by devot- ing a portion of his time to the ticket outside of Bridgeport, where demand has been made for his services as a speaker. MT. Hallen is not only one of the mostable speakers in the state, but he is a lawyer of learning and ability and we'll fitted to fill the of flee of probate judge. His plurality is freely estimated at from 1000 to 1,500 and this despite the fact that a special canvass has been made against him by order of Judge Nobbs, who has caused the city to be search ed with a fine tooth comb for Demo- cratic votes for himself.
 Judge Nobbs' canvass has been con- ducted regardless of the other candi- dates on his ticket and on purely sell fish lines. The canvass of MT. Hallen has been conducted regardless of his private interests and purely unselfish lines for the good of his entire ticket and the people.
 It will be interesting to note how much more successful is the unsel- fish than the selfish method when the votes are counted tomorrow.

Epigrams From The Speeches of
 Judge Baldwin

A great many Republicans mix up two things in their minds. One is the cry for higher standards of morality nationalism.'
 A minister in New Haven gave a definition of new nationalism from the pulpit, the other day. It means. he said, "the placing of manhood above money, worth of character above wealth, honesty above material pros perity, and justice and mercy above power and pleasure Who is there who does not put manhood before money. and justice before power? He who does not. if the people know that he does not. will ask for their political support in vain. The people always vote straight on large moral questions. They want no rogues, no sycophants, no autocrats in office.
 'New nationalism" is pushing the exercise of the powers of the national government farther in all directions, and lessening correspondingly, as it must, the field of the States. We can exert some influence at Hartford. We can dictate the course of legislation, there. But at Washington, we count for little, with our handful of Con- gressmen, among hundreds of them.
 What makes this country great and keeps it so? Free trade between the States, and home rule in the State,-in each State.

HANGING OF DR. GRIFFIN
 POSTPONED
Putting Off Execution For Two Weeks Officially Ordered by Home Secretary Churchill
Condemned Man, Overjoyed,
 Still Believes Something Will Happen to Prove His InnO-
 cence
Especial from United Press)


 London, Nov. 1.-The date for the execution, by hanging, of Dr. H. H. Crippen, murderer of his wife, Belle Fillmore, the music hall singer, was, to- day, postponed for two weeks, or more. Though no definite date has been set, it is still probable Crippen will die on Nov 9. The day ori- ginally fixed was tomorrow
 The postponement was ordered off cially by the Home Office, which is taken, by many, to indicate that Home Secretary Winston Churchill will, at least, give the case thorough hear ing before he allows Crippen to go to the gallows.
 Later in the day, it was semi-offi- cially announced that the execution would take place on Wednesday, Nov. 23, unless the Home Secretary shall decide to grant communication of the sentence.
 At Scotland Yard it was said that the postponement of the execution had report that Mrs. Crippen is alive and hiding as the result of a fiendish plot to send her husband to death. They said they had not heard of the ru- mor.S nor had they heard that the wife of Dr. Munyon, the Philadelphia patent meQ1c1ne mdnufaCCuTer WOulQ pay $50 for information leading to the discovery of Belle Fillmore, alive.
 Solicitor Newton who has repre- sented Crippen ever since the latter was arrested at Father Point, Que, with his associates. is busily engaged in drafting a petition to Home Secre- tary Winston Churchill, asking com plete pardon for his client, or, at least, the communication of his sentence to life Imprisonment.
 Acting in the Kings name, the Home Secretary Is now the only off cia1 who has the power to save Grip pen from the gallows. While it is believed Churchill will investigate the case. thoroughly, it is hardly likely he will interfere to save the prison CT. It Is against precedent in Eng land for the Home Secretary to in- terfere when jury has found pri- soner guilty. and the court of criminal appeal has sustained the verdict. Un- less. therefore. Crippen's lawyers can bring to light a great deal of hith- erto unreyeaIed evidence, it is be- lieved that he will die on Nov. 23.
 Crippen was overjoyed when the high sheriff informed him of the postponement.
 'T believe that something will yet intervene to prove my innocence," he declared. &
 The condemned man was cautioned against letting his hopes mount too high.

There is another of our blanks that the Republican State convention did not borrow.
 It is that favoring an honest and eff fective Corrupt Practices act, which shall stop the use of money as a means of advancing selfish men to public of flee.
 The party managers did not borrow 1t, because they want to use money in just that way: because they have emasculated the Corrupt Practices act, and wanted to keep it emasculated.
 The Republican candidate for Cover nor has been we'll instructed on most points by the machine, but apparently he had not been on this, for he chal 1enged me to show him any defects in the act. I informed him of several, immediately. and he says he was glad to get the information.
 I went further. then. and informed him of violations of the act, of which I had heard, by his supporters in this campaign.
 I told him that there was evidence thought sufficient to show corruption attempted, If not achieved.
 I felt ashamed for my State at the attitude he then took:-he. the candi- date of a great party for the highest office in the gift of our people.
 He said to me. I object to the use of affidavits as evidence of corruption. They are not legal evidence, if object ed to, and I object.
 Can anything be more pitiable than that.
 An affidavit had been made, weeks before, showing offers of corruption, at a Republican convention: an affidavit by Republican, charging Republi- can with 8 violation of the Corrupt Practices act. MT. Goodwin can hard ly have been ignorant of this. for it was widely discussed.
 The people are going to insist. this time, that they shall get what they want. They can't be put off with anything else. They want a Corrupt Practices act that if it doesn't stop corrupt practices. is at least sure to puniSh them.
