He quoted the statutes that fixed the duties Of trustees and of county superintendent. said that the former could not delegate their authority. that the statutes fixed the duties of the county superintendent and the district superintendent could have no greater authority than the county and that the latter had none over buildings.

 At noon a recess was taken and on at 1:3O Prof Lutz took the stand to testify for the prose cution.
 Professor Lutz was questioned and asked as to his duties as su- perintendent of schols. He stated them and that he had control of the janitor and his conduct in the buildings. He vas the last witness in the direct case of the prosecution.
 The first witness for the defense was Mir. Cook himself. who told of his duties and and receiving and talk ing instructions from the trustees. He said that on March 9 he saw the party on the grass in the patio and warned them to keep of. That his warning was not needed and 10 en- force his orders he turned the hose on Professor Crowell and Mr. Han son. He stated that Dr. Lund, one of the trustees. told him that last year the grass in the patio had been plowed up seven times and that he must be particularly careful or grass could not be grown.
 Miss Cora Thomas, principal of the grammar school, stated that when Mir. Cook arrived on the afternoon of the 9th and saw the party at and about the grass he told her that Dr. Lund had warned him that care should be taken. This closed the di rect case of the defense at 2:50 and the prosecution called Prol Lutz in rebuttal He stated that he was told by Mir. Cook of the alleged instruc- tions of Dr. Lund the day after the hose episode and could not recol- lect that it had ever before been mentioned to him. The intent of the rebuttal was to prove that Dr. Lund never gave the alleged instructions to Mir Cook

Tribune Of vagueness in what 1t said

statement that this practical confession
of n great monopoly and its legal al
vIsers that they are at the end Of their
rope is a gain 10 the public in its hgnt
against monopolies and combinations In
restraint Of trade. We said that for the
lack Of q central organization the monop-
DIV, if It sought to continue as one,
would operate at certain disadvantage
in the future, and, further, that the
notion that combination In restraint OF

NOT LIKE THE OTHERS.

Mr.. Bryan has successfully hectored
and bulldozed many minor Democratic
leaders. His experiences with his
partys legislators and politicians natu-
rally gave him a contemptuous opinion
of their fighting qualities. He knew that
most OF them hated him and offered
him their support only because they
were afraid to withhold 1t. They re-
nominated him for the Presidency in
1900 with manifest reluctance, and
there was even less heart in their sur
face acquiescence in 1908 In demand
for his third nomination, which they
saw no way to combat. Democratic
Senators and Representatives used to
agree enthusiastically that Mr.. Bryan
ought to be asked to renounce his per-
petual candidacy, But no one was will
ing to oppose him openly or even to sug-
gest to him privately that the time
had come for him to cease being an
active politician and become a sage.
The Nebraskan has always terror1zed
the Democratic politicians by lighting
fires in their rear. He has never hest
tated to tell their constituents that they
were recreant to the public welfare and
tools of 1.-THE interests" They have
feared to invite his criticism, and have
generally knuckled under rather than

tives which no former Democratic
leader In that body has possessed. his

RPIGAVDAGE IN CUBA.

There may or may not he ground for
dissatisfaction with the administration
of President Gomez in Cuba. Probably
there IS some. for few governments ever
give entire satisfaction, and Cuba mas
been practising the difficult art OF self
government too short a time TO permit
the belief that she has mastered II 10
greater degree than other nations. lt
is to be doubted, however, If Justl1able
dissatisfaction is so great as to warrant
ANYTHING like revolution. The least IA
yorable reports which we have heard
from the insular republic have not indl-
Gated the need of anything more than
constitutional efforts for relief.
If there is no cause for revolution
there certainly cannot be the slightest
good pretext for the movement when
is now reported from the neighborhood
of Havana. For ii IS not revolution
even. but brigandage Of the most de-
testable type. We are told that polltl-
co-military leader, with n following
yariOusly reported at from fifty 10 TWO
hundred and fifty men, has issued Il
PROCLAMATION, affecting 10 speak Tor the
people of Cuba, and declaring that II the
constitutional and lawful President does
not resign his Office within fifteen days
resort will he had to indiscriminate and
wholesale incendiarism until the whole
island IS devastated, and that unless the
railroads refuse TO transport troops Tor
the government their trains VIII be
wrecked. their bridges blown up ana
their passengers slaughtered.
Between this and the deviltries of the
Black Hand, threatening TO blow up
mans house or murder his children I'M
less he pays blackmail, there Is no per
ceptible moral difference and It Is not
easy to see why there should be any
difference in the regard Of the world or
the attitude of the legal authorities
toward them. 1t IS impossible to believe
that such movement can have the sup
port Of any considerable number OF the
Cuban people.

PFAPPORTJON1fENT

The Senate votes to-day under the
agreement of July II on the House ap-
pcrtionment bill. 1t IS doubtful If the
amendment offered by the minority of
the Census Committee, disappearing an
Increase in the House membership from
391 70 1873. will prevail. since to retain
the present limit would involve re-
duction of the representation Of dozen
or more states.
The Senate may be reluctant to chal-
lenge the right of the House TO fix the
limit Of its own membership, right
conceded in most previous apportion-
ments. But another amendment has
been presented by the minority Of the
Census Committee which the Senate
ought 10 approve without hesitation. 1t
Is intended TO mitigate the evil practice
OF gerrymandering and would protect
those states in which the power. to re-
arrange the Congress districts is likely
10 be abused for partisan advantage.
This amendment provides that every re-
districting scheme shall be submitted TO
the voters Of a state and approved by
them before il becomes effective. In
most Of the states representation is on
the whole. fairly apportioned, and the
representation Of each party in Con
giess accords. broadly speaking. with its
voting strength But there are cases in
which a Congress gerrymander has been
pcrpetuated by a gerrymandered state
legislature aud the majority party has
been kept in subsection by the minority
party.
Missouri offers the most fragrant ex-
ample of usurpation of power by the
minority. for at the election Of 1910 the
Republicans carried the state, and vet
were able To elect only three out of SIX
teen Representatives in Congress. In
ore Republican district more than $1,000
votes were cast. while less than 1900
votes were cast IN two adjoining Demo
cratic districts There would be some

In this state the Legislature is tenn
porarily under the control Of Tammany
Hall, and no one doubts that any reap
portionment act which ii would frame,
f. let alone, would be as grossly unfair
and partisan as ingenuity could make ii.
The present apportionment is more than
fsir 10 the minority, as is proven by the
fact that, although the Republicans lost
on the state ticket in 1910 by plurallties
ranging from 67401 to 1873, in total
vote exceeding 100000, they elected
only fourteen out Of thirty-seven Repre-

Of the 234 bills which he killed. As 10
the degree of credit which should he
given him for such action opinions may
differ. for most of those bills obviously
deserved nothing better than a speedy
and painless execution. But no cavu-
ling over credit should be permitted to
disturb what happiness the public can
extract from the fact that the statutes
of 1911 will not be so numerous as
Murphy's Legislature proposed
Certainly they are numerous enough
S6S laws already, with a prospect Of
enough new ones from bills awaiting the
Governors consideration in September to
raise the number to more than NS).
Last year the number Of new laws was
7O5. The present Legislature introduced
about 20 per cent more bills than did
,ast years lawmakers In spite Of the
Governors warning, in regular and spe-
cial messages. about the evils or speclal
and local legislation, the legislative am
bition seemed to be To excel in quantity,
not quality. Most remarkable was the
bill which couldn't be kissed through
both houses and put up to the Gov
ernor." Never did a Governor have so
excellent a chance to distinguish himself
by vetoing faulty, unnecessary and
harmful measures. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Dix's record this year will be fresh
enough in the legislative mind next year
to check the passionate ardor of the leg
islators for legiSating.
