Ooka finally threatened to punish
the tone idol as Il thief's accomplish
according to law. However seriously
and formally he conducted the hear
ing, the public could not keep from
laughing:
That's said to be the smartest
Judge in all Japan" sounded in the
silence that followed Ooka's last ques-
ton, and not a few a%pplauded the
critic.
But that was just what the willy
Judge had been waiting for. He rose
in the greatest anger. sentenced all
present to immediate arrest for con-
tempt of court, and had the doors of
the hall shut and guarded. In the
suburb of HOMO he had the occur
renee publicly proclaimed by couri-
ers. and ordered whoever missed any
member of his family at once to APP
pear before him and obtain his release
by bringing with him a piece Of white
cotton stuff as bail.
On that afternoon the dealers i'm
cotton goods in HOMO must have driv-
en- a thriving trade; indeed. even in
the business streets of the city itself
the sudden demand for white fabrics
was spoken of with astonishment.
Over 500 pieces Of cloth were hcaped

courtroom. each with the name and
address of h deliverer. and the name
of the shut up in the session room
for whose bail it was to serve.
Jagoro had to OOH over the pieces
to see whether he could find among
them one lost by him. In fact. two
| pieces bore the private mark of his
former mercantile house.
At one Ooka sent messengers to
the addresses to ask where the pieces
were bought. Both were traced to a
shop in Canda.

Ohio Republicans Badly Split.

In Ohio the republican party is
engaged in a struggle for existence
said Henry e. Allen of Cleveland, who
mas recently a a four weeks trip
through Ohio and the west. The

state is more pronounced,
perhaps. than in n other state cas-,

controlled by the wv dominant poll
teal parties under Il bipartisan ar
rangement. Should the Roosevelt
ticket beat the Taft ticket this fan,
control of the election machinery,
with thousands Of appointments, would
pass from republican hands. To ar
extraordinary extent, an extent no,
appreciated outside Of the state, the
tight in Ohio this fall is one for posi-
ton. Neither Harry NJ. Daugherty,
chairman of the regular republican
state committee. nor Walter T..
Brown. chairman Of the bull moose
committee, expects his candidate 70

then. is for second place, and for the
advantage that will bring in controll-
ing party machinery after the Novem
Der election. The situation is desper-
ate for President Taft in his own
state. The old-time republican or.
ganization. the organization that was
IN Its zenith under Senator Hanna,
has crumbled to pieces. In taking
charge Of the Taft campaign. Chair
man Daugherty faced the terrific task

er discovering that 1t would be i'm.
possible to make any sort of a united
republican campaign in Ohio this fall.
General Brown was selected by a por-
ton OF the state committee to fill the
vacancy after w days of wrangling.
The republican campaign has been
on the ragged edge ever since. The
mix-up over the state ticket has great
may have had to carry the state. As
yet the friends of Mr.. Taft have been
unsuccessful in their efforts to awak
en- any enthusiasm in his behalf. The
bull moose leaders are depending
entirely upon Roosevelt. and figure
the campaigning the colonel is to do
in Ohio will land him second at least.
The democrats of Ohio have elected
the governor in the past three cam
paigns. Not In ten years have Ohio
democrats apparently been SO well

THE BECKER TRIAL.

Sane legal procedure in New York
has been considerably advanced by
the attitude of Justice Golf in refus-
ing to permit any delay OF the Beck
er trial and incidentally announcing
early in the trial that unless a jury
were obtained quickly he would hold
night sessions.
The policy of the attorneys defend
ing Lieutenant Becker has been to
procrastinate. All sorts of pretexts
have been used to obtain more time
for the accused police lieutenant.
While innocent men are usually anx-
ious for a quick trial. those who fear
to face a jury generally resort to tech
meal tactics to delay trial, until wit
nesses have died and the public has
forgotten the crime Of which the de-
PENDANT is accused.
Justice Con- was sensible IN order
ing the case to trial. The accused has
had ample time to prepare a defense.
and the only result that would be
more murders of important witnesses
such as big Jack" Zelig.
There need be no fear that Becker
will not have a fair trial. Apparently
he is provided with ample funds since
he is able to retain sever of the high.
est priced lawyers Of the New York
bar. The chief witnesses against him
iaay be crooks. but the New York
statutes provide that the evidence of
co-conspirators must be corroborated
if it is to he accepted.
District Attorney Whitman has a
hard job before him. but he has
shown in the past hat he is not un.
Ge%restin,ating the cunning of the
forces that are arrayed against him.
In such a case as this, where circum-
stantial evidence must play a large
part. the weight of proof must be
overwhelming to convince a jury. The
doubt is not that a Jury may err on
the side Of harshness, but on the side
OF mercy. If Becker is convicted,
there will be no doubt in the mind
OF the public that he has had a fair
trial.

SOCIALISM I'M SPAIN.

King Alfonso has summoned the
Spanish parliament in extraordinary
session and issued a decree mobile.
ing a vast army Of reservists and re.
cruits, preparatory to a tardy effort
to grapple with the nationwide rail-
road strike inaugurated by the syn
dicalists. a socialist organization on
the order of the Industrial Workers
Of the World. The Spanish premier
states that. the strike movement
which has paralyzed traffic and travel
throughout the country has developed
into a social war, which means a state
Of affairs such rs Haywood and his
American associates say will usher in
the final stage of socialism's war on
wealth n ownership In the indus
trial world. The premier formally de-
clares that the demands of the strik-
ers are impossible Of adjustment, and
that the struggle promises to be pro.
longed.
The crisis in Spain marks the Gull
mination of the strike riots inspired
by the socialists and anarchists Of
Barcelona. n which began several
years ago. The government has
weakly temporized with the disturb
ing elements. making concession upon

tries Of the old world Ia not a labor
movement, but political, merely using
labor as the instrument with which
to accomplish It's ends. The strike is

ARIZONA THE AMBITIOUS.

All unbeknownst to the rest Of the
republic u newes chee-ild. Arizona.
has all these years been nursing a
secret ambition which has just now
become public property. Arizona
wants a %seacoast. She bankers for a
merchant marine. a share in the Pan
anna canal trade. a beach resort. a
steel pier with a moving picture show
on the end Of it. Nothing but revolu-

iona in her desperate need. for If
there is state which nature has
plainly intended not to be a salt wa
ter state it is Arizona: hut %revoluticS
is less than the limit to which Ari-
IONA is willing to GO. In a word, she
has looked with longing y toward
the sunny. smiling southern coast Of
California. and fractured that COM
mandment which forbids covetous-
ness.
Hence it comes about that Arizona
is alive. from Flagstaff to Yuma. with
a consuming ambition to grab off Inn
perial and San Diego counties in her
sister state, and add them t her own
parched domains. Bloodshed is hourly
expected. Whether these frontier
statesmen. emboldened by the sue
cesses Of the neighboring Mexican
patriots. are planning n brilliant mill
tary campaign. or purpose to consum-
mate their desires by a coup d'etat.
is not yet apparent. Deep rumblings
and violent spasms shake the baby
commonwealth until the mere out
slider might imagine himself in the
Balkans.

crown the efforts OF the cactus state.

Farmers for Taft.

many farmer votes because of his de-
determined efforts TO force through
congress the reciprocity pact" said
Henry \. sharpe. a prominent farmer
OF fankton. S. D. AT the time the
slderation h farmers of the western
states were bitter in their opposition
to the president.
IT will be recalled that many dele
cations of farmers, among them rep
resentatives of the National Grange.

this country. called upon Mr.. Taft at
the white house and make vigorous
protests against the stand taken by.
the president, and that ne plainly
told them that he was convinced that

views. This contradiction of the opin-
ions held by the farmers very natural
ly was resented by them. and for a
long time the agricuiturists were bit
ter in their denunciation of the presi-
dent.
But since Colonel Roosevelt has
entered the ace for president, and
h farmers see that they are brought
face to face with the question whether
they shall I for protection or for
tree trade-a vote for Wilson mean
ing a vote for free trade-thay nave

principles that have made them pros

This is the view that is taken nv
the farmers of South Dakota. and
while Roosevelt has many admirers

classes. they will not cast their hal
lots against their own interests.

carried by Taft. notwithstanding the
claims made by the bull moose mna-
