Conviction of Ohio Legislators
Thus FOrecaSted.

At Columbus, Ohio, the conviction Of
the Ohio assemblymen involved in
bribery was forecasted when verdict
of guilty was returned against Rodney
J. Diegel, senate sergeant-at-arms, by
a jury which gave sixty-two and one
half hours to deliberation.
Diegel was the alleged go-between
in the bribery. 1t is believed that the
defense's attorney fees will aggregate
$4,000. One of his lawyers, Conrad
j. Matteen Of Day yton, received $4,000.
Diegel is a poor man.
The penalty which Diegel faces is
a prison sentence of one to five years
and fine of 500 to $500. He may
have to stand trial on two other in
dictments. 1t would cause no surprise
if Dieeel should turn states evidence

UNUSUAL POINT OF LAW.
Can Try Iownes Howell for Man
slaughter Only.

Jackson.-Judge Henry, presiding at
the trial of Townes Howell, on a charge
Of killing Quitman Manning at Crystal
Springs over Il year ago, which was
brought here from Copiah county on It
change of venue, was called upon to de-
eide IL novel point in Mississippi criminal
practice. When the case was called the
defendant, through his counsel, set up
the point that the defendant could not
be placed in jeopardy by an arraignment
for murder in connection with case
which was coming up for trial de novo
after he had been previously tried on
the same indictment and prosecuted for
murder, which was not sustained.
The court held in effect that the point
was well taken, that the weight of au-
lhority and the decisions of the state
supreme court OF Mississippi undoubtedly
bore out the contention of the defense,
and in that light the court was dis
posed to view the case before it.

is on the increase in Mississippi, and that
already "a of the rs now have these use
1ul institutions, or have them in course
of preparation for the opening this fall.
Other counties have seen the value of
these schools, and there is a healthy SEN
timent all over Mississippi in favor of
them.
Where consolidation of rural schools
has been practiced, most gratifying re-
suits have been obtained and before
the next session it is believed that
large number of the rural schools will
adopt the plan. Superintendent Powers
is greatly in favor Of it, and says the
best sort OF results are traceable where
it has already been employed.

CURRENT COMMENT
Ludlow Tnbune's Explanation.

The esteemed Barre Times appears to
be disturbed over The Tribune's recent
reference to certain drafting process"
indulged in at Montpelier, accuses us
of stretching point, and asks us on
what ground we would Justify our
statement that Joseph A. DeBoer was
drawn into gubernatorial candidacy in
the face of definite protest previously
filed by him."
The contemporary declares that "AIr
DeBoer has never protested against be-
ing called TO the governorship of Yer
mont. Nor has he protested against
being selected as a candidate for the
nomination"
What is a protest. anyway The
dictionary says it is commonly form
al objection against some act" If the
contents Of the letter sent to The Times
by Mr.. DeBoer in response to its in
Quiry as to whether he was or would be
u candidate for the governorship was
not to be taken by the average reader
as formal objection flor certain reasons
therein set forth against the guber-
Material candidacy act, then average
reader is "of' in dictionary definitions.
The Tribune aims to do no man an
injustice. II does not aim to stretch
point in favor Of this or that candi-
date. 1t is trying to look at the sit
uation just as il is revealed; and il
soes not find, either in the origin of
the DeBoer movement or its unfoldings
up to date, anything that should appeal
with special force TO the desirk al
the people of Vermont for practical
business-like administration of state af-
fairs.--Ludlow Tribune.

Elemental New Englanders.

In venturing the opinion that eve
have no elemental men and women in
New England" did not Mime. Emma
Eames overlook Rev. Frank w. Sand
ford, who will be sentenced this morn
ing in the federal court at Portland
for his elemental conduct in causing the
deaths of six personsi Mime. Eames
defines elemental men and women as
those who care governed by their inn
pulses" not by the rule of reason, as
laid down by the supreme court. The
woods are fun Of such, not only in
New England but throughout the world.
Most persons are governed by impulse,
not by calm, deliberate reflection.
The fsnatieal Mr.. Sanford, with his
exaggerated ego and his prophecy that
"there is not human being that I
am not going TO have the handling Of, ("
and his deluded followers and victims
afford one type OF elemental men and
women. They belong TO the class Of
mystics, who are nothing II not elemen-
tai. Another type was presented by
the Transcendentalists with Emerson
at their head. Emerson himself was
a bit elemental. So are the great John
L. Sullivan and his school.
The elemental type persists In New
England, where the soil Is favorable
to the sprouting of philosophers and
theologies. Vermont produced Joseph
Smith and Brigham Young, the two
Mormon prophets, and Massachusetts,
