THE C4MORRA TRIAL.

The Outcme Of the celebrate,
Camorra trll will be hailed b,
the civilizedworld as a triumph
of justice, an the Italian tribuna
appears to ave done its worE
thoroughly ad well. 1t has beer
termed the eeatest struggle oI
history betwtn organized crime
and ORGANIZED society, and it has
resulted in a seeping victory for
the cause of Nv and order. On
account of tn, many threats of
death served uDn the judge and
jury, for some the it was feared
that they mightweaken and the
trial result in frei,g the crimi-
mails, but despite, tlese threats
and the fact that'mny of the
prisoners were of hyh social
standing, the Camosra under the
guise Of a benevolen organiza-
tion, is branded as lciety of
criminals.
The cause Of this lebrated
trial was the murder ofsennaro
Cuocolo, a Camorrist, I'd his
wife at Tore del Greco Their
killing was said to haveeen a
Camorrist execution. Thexam.
inatic.n of witnesses bea in
March, 1911, and during the
course of the trial four of ! &C. |
eused died. Over 700 witsses
were heard, but the prosecun 3
case rested almost entirely 4he
testimony Of Abbatemaggit a
former Camorrist and an infn.
er. OF the number who were,-
plicated In the murder Of CuoS
and his wife, only two succeed
in evading arrest and they a
supposed to be in hiding in Il
ted States. Enricone was OF
of the number who escaped, bu
he was arrested in New York b
Detective Petrosina, whose mui

jury, by a special act Of the Ital
ian Government, $1.40 a day wa
allowed each man for this on
trial. Originally over fifty lawy
ers appeared for the defense, bu
the number was reduced to eigh
Teen. During the trial an entir'

TAFT LOSES OUT
IN CONVENTION
Iowa Republicans Condemn Pro-
ceedings at Chicago.

Des Moines, July 11.-Theodore
Roosevelt won a decisive victory In
the Republican state convention here
and the Taft administration and the
managers of the recent national con
vention in Chicago were as decisively
rebuked.
Republicans of Iowa were left free
to vote either for President Taft OF
Colonel Roosevelt next November by
the action of the delegates. The mat,
ter was left entirely to the individual
conscience of the voter" and the plat.
form, containing a direct attack upon
the legality of the Chicago convention
was adopted by an overwhelming vote.

vention from beginning to the end

tional platform, the amendment Of.
fered by the Iowa executive, contain.

table by a vote of f73 to 342.

HOUSE DECLARES

Washington, July 12.-The house Of
representatives adopted, by a vote Of
222 to I, articles of impeachment
against Judge Robert w. Archibald of
the United States commerce court.
Representative Farr of Pennsylvania
cast the single vote against the bill Of
impeachment. Mr.. Farr is a lifelong
friend who has all along voiced con-
fdence in Judge Archbald's integrity.
Only three members had spoken in
the judges defense. They were Rep
resentatives Farr, Bowman and Focht,

ate, which will sit in judgment in the
case. While there has been a dispo-
sition voiced in the senate to postpone
the trial until autumn, Chairman Clay.

Col. Roosevelt applauds the United
States senate for unseating Lorimer and
claims he is the instigator of the whole
proceedings in the interes' Of purity
in politics." The colonel. however, has
not as vet answered Senator LaFollette's
question as to how much money was
spent by him in his campaign for the
presidency in the direct primaries nor
told where the money came from. He
is another n Of those II am holier
than thou" fellows who make a loud
cry about ''stop theft when his polk
cts are bullying with stolen goods. The
money alleged to have been spent in
Lorimer's election was a mere bagatelle
compared with that spent by Roosevelt
in May and June.

THE BULL MOOSE

IhE BULL W
What is it that ranges the viii forest
breadth,
And leaves a wide trail of destruction
and death?
That tramples and cores everything in
its path,
And wakes the loud echoes with snort
ings of wrath,
Cares nothing for quiet, contentment,
or peace
But wages with everything wal with
out cease?
What is it that acts like a cyclone let
loose?
It's the laundering, clustering, bonn
bastic bull moose.
1t stands on the spur of a lone noun
tain height,
And sends its mad challenge out into
the night
And nothing can sleep, no nothing at
all,
Within the wide range of its believing
call.
If there's one thing whose attitude
seems to convey,
II am the monarch of all / ~survey!"
It's this same noisy and useless cayuse,
The laundering. clustering, bombastic
bull moose.

with frequent recesses in order to per.
nit him &c recuperate from exhaus-
ton, concluded his remarks shortly
after 1880 p. m.
Immediately Senator Dixon took the
floor to read some affldavits regarding
Lorimer's charges of attempted brib-
cry at the Chicago convention.
This did not take long and then
the vote was taken, Immediately after
Senator Tillman of South Carolina had
announced that he would vote In sup
port Of Lorimer.
This occasioned some surprise as he
had been counted among those who
would vote against his Illinois col
league.
The closing moments of the trial
were intensely dramatic. Lorimer
holding the floor, making a last de-
tense Of his election, declared he did
rot appeal for the votes of any SEN
ator but asked for justice.
Senator Lorimer, when the vote was
announced. walked slowly toward the
back of the room and passed into a
cloak room, Senator Smoot throwing
m arm over his shoulder.
The vote busting him was concluded
1t 2:o6 O'Clock. The man who had oc-
cupied q seat In the senate since
June Is. 1909, by the vote passes out
Of the records and never oficially has

secured such an impetus in 1912 that it

The democrats of the country by and
with the assistance of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt have the best prospects for
carrying the country this year that
they have enjoyed since 1896. The
colonel and his followers are doing
everything in their power to make
democratic success possible. The bet
ting population of Wall street is now
offering wagers of three to two on
Wilson carrying the country. The
action of the Roosevelt people in South
Dakota, Iowa, California and some
other states makes that bet look good
to many at the present time. 1t will
be well to remember, however, that
this is only July. The democrats for
the past fifty years have beeu long
upon electing their presidents in July
and upon all the days following their
convention until election day when with
two northumberland two terms
the voters chose the republican stand
ard bearer. We are firmly of the
opinion that when the American people
go to the polls on November 5 in 1912,
history will repeat itself and they will
show that they fully appreciate the
prosperity the country has enjoyed
under republican management and
President Taft will be chosen to sue
coed himself and by a handsome
majority.

Augusta, Ca, July 14.-Sensational
charges Of graft were made against
Governor Coleman l.. Blease of South
Carolina by Detective Reed OF the

vestigating committee of the South
Carolina legislature, which is holding
it's sessions here.
In his two terms of office Blease has

The charge was made that on oc'
casions at least Governor Blease re
ceived $4,000 for the executive action,
The present graft probe is the result
of a controversy with D. l.. Fielder, a

The senate of the United States upon
a second consideration has removed from
Office Senator Lorimer and expelled him
from that body. While we know we
are on the unpopular side, yet we can
not help but adhere to the opinion that
MI. Lorimer has been unjustly removed.
We are firmly rooted in the opinion that
corruption was used in his selection he
was not the i~nstigator of the corruption
fund, and it was not proven that he
was even a contributor to the corruption
fund known as the lack pot" used
with the Illinois legislature. Nor was
it claimed before the Investigating CON-
mittee that the lack pot" was used
solely in the interests of Mr.. Lorimer's
election. Buff the investigation proved
anything it was conclusive that the
lack pot" was used to influence legis-
lation of many kinds. In the course of
our travels in this great republic it has
been our fortune to be present at many
sessions of state legislatures where
United States senators were elected and
we do not remember of a single occasion
of that kind where there vas not vast
amounts of money expended by n
torial aspirants to further their inter
ests and secure the coveted seat. Had
only those senators been permitted
to vote on the Lorimer matter whose
elections were uninfiuenced by money
there would have been a very light vote
indeed.
