The Pardon of Patrick

To the layman who followed the accounts of the trial some years of Lawyer Albert T. Patrick charged with instgating the murder of Millionaire Rice, there a reasonable doubt of his guilt There it is true. strong motive but all the links of the chain of crcumstantal evidence did not seem strong enough drag the defendant to the electric chair.
 Further doubt of Patricll's guilt was raised in the lay mind by of Arthur Trains Stories of Crime, which ran in the Saturday Evening Post some four years ago MT Train was an attache of the office of the district attorney of New York at the time of the trial of Patrick and evidently from his relation, he had doubt of the guilt of the defendant. This particular story of Crime" summarized the evidence and arrayed the eircun stances so that they could be readily graspcd I, the ordinary reader
 Though MT. Train wrote as one absolutely con vinced of the guilt of murderer and the right eousness of the verdict. he probably succeeded ony in creating wider suspicion that there had been . miscarriage Of justice
 The developments in this case indicated tbat there was also official suspicion for the sent ence of Patrick was commuted by Governor Hig- gins Every art of the was employed b, Patrick to secure his freedom and many unusual but ineffective proceedings were resorted to in his behalf.
 Patrick may not have been guilty of procuring the death of Rice but considering his long confinement of twelve years much Of which was spent in the shadow of death Governor Dix properly exercised the pardoning power

The Charter Aqain

We are glad to learn that Governor Hunt has not declared would fail to approve the city charter as was reported; that he only stated that he was awaiting d proposition from the city council a result of its latest meeting The governor has not been officially informed Of action that the council took at that meeting or of any proposition that it would submit to him Of the proceedings of the council the governor has only been informed by newspaper reports.
 The council however. has taken the position occupied by The Republican from the beginning of the controversy that the provisions of the charter against which objection would lie, that they are in conflict with the constitution. merely invalid and in no circumstances, be of any more force than if they had never been written. The matters to which they were intended to apply already covered by the constitution
 one of the them the matter fixing the pynsation of public utility corporations will be at tended by the corporation commission whether We have new charter Also. whether have q new charter or franchises will be granted and elections will be held in the manner prescribed by the constitution.
 There is we informed fe~ persons in this city. moved by partisan feeling, that do not want a charter this time and therefore hoping that the governor will fail approve the pending charter and 50, subject the city to the great delay and expense of preparing another chart They that the governor cannot 'Stullly himself D. approving the charter when some of its provisions are in viol"''on of the constitution.
 Governors of states and presidents of the United States have frequently approved legfslativ act Knowing they contained provisions in conflict with state constitutions the constitution of the United States but knowing at the time, that such nugatory provisions would affect other excellent features of the acts. Our cOnstitu- ton contemplates such action by the governor and the people the when legislative measures are submitted to them for approval
 These defective provisions Of the charter are only invalid The approval of the governor could give them validity. They as if they had never been framed at all: as if they part of the proposed charter. In other words, they could Dot be approved disapproved.
 A provision of the charter of any prOposeC law might be of such character to hopelessly involve the whole instrument: might be impossi be to separate it from the charter or the law with destroying it But it cannot be contended tha that is the in the present instance

Passing of Centuries old Relic

 Built in 1752, standing a historic landmark in New Orleans, the old French Absnthc House is soon to be only memory. It will be closed by order of the government. No more seductive frappes will be given the tourist more will the marble counter be pointed out, where great and women of the world have quenched their thirst in times of long ago
 It was the first saloon built in New Orleans It in the later days eighteenth century old French Absnthe House became a rendezvous for the wealth the aristocracy and the bon homme element of the Crescent city. Notabes of the old world conGregated there LaFayette one of its best patrons, but, like all landmarks it yield to the dispensaton of the twentieth century.
 At the time that the absinthe house in its hcyday of popularity the Latin Quarter New Orleans was the center of the city. Lee circle and St Charles avenue unknown. City park known only for the romantic glamour of the duelng oaks. The pulse beat high in Frenchtown. The absnthe house in the vortex of excitement and rcvclry But a few blocks away stands the old French opera house. gloomy looking pile the outside; elaborate and complex test of architec turaI skill on the inside Yet these two places deeply marked in the history the most romantic city in the south
 Tourists all quarters the world have stopped there, either look the old relics to drink frappe, just say they had. The marble counter is marked in where the glasses, over d century and half of years, have been push ed to customers The silver forks for holding the sugar while the absnthe drips into the glass, are in that used in the last years 100.

It is essential field for the future history of the Crescent city, and while closed the old Absinthc House will live in memory.

 The Review would have law making it of fense to sell a revolver to any man without spe cial permit from peace officer or some other de signated authority to purchase it. That would help some. but rigid enforcement of stiff against the gun toter would be effective.
 If magistrates would always impose the severcst gun, and commit him to jail there would be fewer guns carried. The practice has generally been to consider that probably the gun toter means no harm; he has killed nobody yet So he is let off with nominal fine.

Growth of the Socialist Vote
(Clevcland Leader)

Incomplete returns from the election indicate that the total Socialist of the country a little 8000O0 In 1908 the Socialist vote for presi- dent was about 42O,00O The increase the face O. the returns likely be 380,000 390000
 But certain deductions must be made from this apparent gain to get at the true growth of the socialist party Two states Arizona and New Mexico voted this year. which had not been admitted to the Union in 1908 And in California and Washington . large number of women voted for Eugene Debs at the recent election who had not been given the ballot when the presidential election held in 1905 It is possible to determine precisely how many these changes added to the socialist total in the United States, but it is safe to say judging from the returns from California and Washington that fully 5O00O should be subtraced to get at the true growth of the socialist party
 It appears, therefore, that the actual increase in the socialist vote was about 33OOOO An addition 33OO00 420,O0O looks like startling figures be- it is gain of nearly 50 per cent; but there other be considered The increase in the socialist equal to not more than per of the whole number of voters in the United States It amounted to not more than l5 per of the increase in four years in the number of Americans who possessed the legal right of suffrage.
 this will be that the socialists have long weary road to travel before they attain a position which would place them among the great political parties the country. And their gains appear be chiefly where they were very weak until within two or three years. In Mas sachusctts. where the socialist oomed large or the political horizon decade back, the increase il socialist strength during the last four is abou 1000 and the present total falls far below record! made ten eleven years
