OLD TINES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD
LOVE.
eugene Field)

There are no days like the good OLE
days,
The days when we were youthful,
When humankind were pure of mind,
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before a love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid be-
came
Slave to the tyTant Fashion.
Essa, ~ Sp'saias~ X" u '1
There are no girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em.
AS buXon and smart and clean Of heart
As the Lord knew how to make EN-.
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
And piety all supportin
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made such likely courtin.
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When We were boys together.
When the grass was sweet to the
brown bare feet
That dimpied the laughing heather;
When Dewee sang to the summer
dawn
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-
viii
Or the bee III the billow clover;
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good cid
love
The love that mother gave us.
We are old, old men, vet we pine again
For that precious grace-God gave
US
So we droem and dream of the good
old times,
And our hearts grow tanderer,
fondeT.
As those dear old dreams bring sooth-
ing CLEANS
OF Heaven away off yonder.

Barreled Fight.
tNational News Association)

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. Ga Demo
cratic primary election is to be held
throughout Virginia tomorrow for the
nomination of two United States sena-
tors, members of the legislature and
county officials. The campaign has
been one of the quietest that the Old
Dominion has seen in years. Even the
senatorial contests have failed to
arouse the usual amount of interest
and enthusiast, although the interest
has increased to a noticeable extent
during the closing days of the cam
paign.
Senator Claude A. Swanson, who
was appointed to fill out the term OF
the late Senator Daniel, which ended
with the close of the last session, is a
candidate for election to the full six
year term Senator Thomas S. Mar
tin, whose term will not expire until
1913, but whose successor will be
chosen by the legislature to be elected
this fall. is a candidate for reelection.
Senator Swanson is opposed for the
nomination by Representative Carter
Glass of the Sixth district. Senator
Martins opponent is Representative
Jones Of the First district The gen
eral opinion seems to be that both
Swanson and Martin win win .out in
the primaries. 20

Perceiving County Council
Was Opposed to Voting
Machines, Board Cuts Off
that Appropriation.
DEAF EARS TURNED
TO ALL ARGUMENTS
Councilmen Believed that as
Machines Are Not Yet Per-
feet the Investment Would
Be Unwise One.

Tuesday before members Of the
Wayne county council had an oppor-
tunity to thoroughly consider the ap-
preparation of the board of commits
sioners for $4,000 from the county
revenues for 1912 for the purchase of
twenty-eight voting machines, the
commissioners held a caucus and
Chairman Beeson, forseeing the defeat
OF the boards pet measure, asked the
privilege to withdraw the item from
the budget recommendations. The re-
quest was granted and the fight
against the purchase of voting ma
chimes had been won by the people,
who, judging from the ballots cast in
a straw vote conducted by the Pal
ladium, were opposed to the change in
the election methods by ratio of
little more than 91a to I.
The council had a thorough under
standing of the proposition For about
four hours yesterday endorsements of
voting machines were given by Chair.
man Beeson of the board, P. ]. Free
man, the attorney for the Standard
Voting Machine company, which
sought the contract in this county and
others. But the council did not seem
to be greatly impressed with the ar
guments advanced, and were inclined
to believe that the time is not yet
ripe for the introduction of machines
in this county.
Reasons for Reiecfion.
The council heard voting machines
we're not perfected snd that st11y
could be talnnered with before Or DUR
ing an election. and the members did
not wis1 to receive the credit for in
stalling fmachines, which in q few
years night be antiquated. possibly
unreliable and for which the county
would bal IN addition to the. principle
of $21, ora the sum of $1,000 in inter.
est. in case the county would have
purchased machines by the deferred
payment system.
Though tie board had urged the ap-
propriationsa = few hours before, its
foresight was sufficient to see the
council would reject the item. When
the board caucused privately. 1t did
not take the three commissioners long
to determine to withdraw the recon-
mendation. This privilege was NO
sooner Offered than granted, and the
council then proceeded to vote on the
appropriation ordinance. As each rec
|ommendation of the commissioners
was read 1t was accepted unanimously
The entire budget was voted upon,
item for item, by quarter past Ave
last evening and when totaled the es-
timated expenditures of the county for
next year, as passed by the council on
first reading, will amount to $158.444
The total appropriation is about the
same as in the last few years, there
being but few items which differ in
any extent from the corresponding
appropriations of the past years.
There we're few additional items for
appropriation, caused by state laws,
such as $4,000 for the registration of
voters in the county and $500 year
for Office help for the county superin-
|tendent.

indianapolis Circuit Judge in
Ruling on Similar Case
Holds McNamara Extradi-
ton Not Legal.
HE RULES OFFICERS
HAVE NO AUTHORITY
To Act on Authority of a City
Judge, but He Holds Ind
annapolis City Judge Was
Not to Blame.
(National News Association

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. g. Judge
Charles Remster of the Marion cir
cult court holds that Judge Collins of
the city court cannot lawfully hear
extraditicn cases. Judge Remster SO
stated in his decision of the Ravej-
Lolenni extradition case, handed down
this morning. In addition to this the
court holds that officers acting on the
decision of the city judge in such pre-
tended hearings act unlawfully.
This decision means that Judge Col
Inns had no right under the law to give
John j. Mcnamara into the hands of
Detective Burns. 1t means that De-
tective Burns, also Supt. Hyland, Capt
William Holtz of Indianapolis, Detect
i've Hessick of California and Detect
i've Gerber of indianapolis, together
with all others who had anything to
do with the taking of Mcnamara from
the state of Indiana acted without any
authority by law by so doing.
Burns and Hossick are under four
indictments in which they are charg-
ed with kidnapping and conspiring to
kidnap John J. Mcnamara. secretary
of the international Association of
Structural Iron Workers, who now is
awaiting trial in Los Angeles, charged
with being the directing force in the
dynamiting outrages unearthed by De
tectfve Buriis. ssss. ssss-ss.,,s y
What Ruling Means.
Judge Remster's decision, IL upheld
by the Supreme court, means that
Burns and Hcssick will have no walk
away in proving their Innocence OF
the charge OF kidnapping Mcnamara.
1t means that Hyland and other In
dianapolis officers are liable to In
dictment on similar charges. Proba-
bly, the most interesting thing about
the decision is that Judge Collins is
exonerated of al responsibility in the
extradition OF. McNamara, OF Lolenni
and of Ravei. Against Judge Collins
has all along been directed the anger
and hatred OF McNamara's supporters.
IF it was necessary to take the
prisoner before a court for determin-
ing the question of identity. then was
the city court the proper court before
which to take him within the meaning
Of the legislative provision
Judge Remster holds the legislative
provision is in conflict with the con-
stitution of the United States
The case ruled upon was similar to
the Mcnamara extradition except that
the accused were permitted legal
counsel throughout while Mcnamara
was denied counsel
