THE TRIAL OF sCHRANK.

That the case of Colonel Roosevelt's assail-
ant will not be called to trial until after the
election is the announcement made by States
Attorney label of Milwaukee
For this decision he advances two reasons.
First, he must await the result OF Roosevet's
wounds and, second, it would be unwise to
held the trial before November 5th. when ii
would attract the attention of the country and
have an undue effect on the result
Said Mr.. label: at Is my desire to try
this case justly and expeditiously, and this
will be done, but we wish to avoid having the
plain criminal aspects OF the case in any wav
involved in the national political situation. 1t
would not be fair to any of the persons in
solFed to do If went to trial before
election day it is almost certain that the mat
ter would be dragged into the campaign by
one or another of the big political parties"
Mr. label is right far as he goes. but he
he unjust to the prisoner as we'll as to some
OF the candidates for office. Partisan feeling
will not run so high after the election as be-
fore and an unbiased jury will be more easily
obtained schrank shot Colonel Roosevelt, a
circumstance OF which there can be no doubt.
but he is entitled to fair trial before an i'm
partial jury, nevertheless. A jury that will
mete out the requisite punishment without
prejudice and without passion can be more
easily secured after November 4th
The question. however is more or less one
% academic interest. Mr.. Roosevelt will
hardly be able to appear in court within three
weeks, and the desire of the States Attorney
to postpone the trial until some time in No
vember will probably be granted by force of
Attorney label, who will try the case will
gain nation wide fame notoriety, according
to the manneg in which he conducts it. In.
terest is added to bis personality on account
of the fact that he is said to be the only So
cialist IN the country to hold the office of
states attorney.

ment Among them the Free Lance mentions
the tax-commission bill, the death OF the fee
system and the primary Bills amendment
The latter is now of interest TO the public,
and the importance Of its amendment is en-
phasized by the trouble caused by the conduct
of the Fourth district primary, in which the
question of the right of the negro to vote was
ar issue.
Speaker Byrd's argument before the State
Democratic committee Tuesday night that I'M
der his primary bill negroes and Republicans
arc not granted the privilege OF voting in a
Democratic primary, even II accepted, does not
help matters. The provisions of the bin seem
to give the negro this privilege. but If, MIR.

the negro the right to participate In Demo

Mr. Byrds Interpretation. district committees
are clothed with entirely too much power.
Should the committee by any chance, be favor
