managers early declared the bright
sunshine with which the primary day
dawned was indicative of sure VIC
tory for the president. Many farm.
ers, they said, who are supporting
Colonel Roosevelt, are far behind in
their spring work, would not leave
their fields to cast vote. The Roose-
welt supporters stuck to their former
claims that a majority Of the dele
gates elected would be Roosevelt men.
Almost all the 5000 voting pre-.
cincts in the state were opened at s
o'clock in the cities and large early
vote was cast. The polls will close at
$3.50 p. m. in cities; in the country
districts at o'clock.

NEW YORK, May 21.-Ethel
Crocker Breen, daughter of Richarl
Croker, former boss of Tammany hall
won her divorce verdict against John
j. Breen, her former riding mast ar
by default. The suit came up before
Justice Ford in the supreme cour..
Breen, who did not defend the action
will apply to the court to reopen che
case.
The divorce suit, tried the first time
several months ago, resulted in a dis
agreement of the jury. At that time
Miss Maude Dieht, one of the two
women with whom Breen is alleged
to have been guilty of misconduct, dc
MED that anything took place that is
ground for divorce. 1t has been re-
ported since the last trial that she was
married.

parties have been working for the best

1t is apparent to all that the vote
of Ohio on the Republican presiden-
tial candidates is definite as to the
desirability of the retirement of Presi
dent Taft. The president has many
warm friends throughout the country
for president of this great republic,
but it is now quite cei tain that they
are not in the majority. 1t must be
remembered that the basic principle
underlying the constitution of the
United States is that the majority
shall rule. Not always has the ma
jority ruled, but that has nothing to
do with the principle, but has 70 do
with the violation of the principle.
At times it is difficult to determine
what is the will of the majority, and
that is the very reason that today
there is such a demand for changes
in the methods of securing the ma
jority opinion. Very few. deny the
right of the majority to. rule, but
many there are who undertake to
make themselves and others believe
that they are always on the side of
the majority.

Kansas appears to be taking the
lead again in a matter of momentous
importaace. Conferences began today
at the state university among judges,
lawyers, heads of penal institutions
and teachers of law at the university,
which will result in the formation Of
an organization to be known as the
Kansas Institute of Criminal Law and
Criminology. 1t proposes to devote
its energies to improving the cr:nii-
nal procedure in this state. The 'iea
is to make it the most effective, the
most expeditions and the most eco
nomical of any in the country.
Surely there is wide field for la
Dor in such an endeavor. The chance
are that Kansas is no worse off in this
regard than are many or all of the
other states. These conditions more
are probably better than they are in
some states, but they are far from
what they should be. And there is
reason for congratulations all around
that the matter has finally been taken
up in concrete fashion by men WHO
are interested in the development of
Kansas along all proper lines, and WIN
are also experts in the particular sub
ject at issue.
/ 1t has been pointed out by President
Taft repeatedly that one of the crying
evils throughout the United States is
the delay and the excessive costs IL
cident to the administration of crir,i.
nal and civil law. The late Ed Madi-
son was the father of bill in con
grcss authorizing the president to ap 3.
point commission to investigate
these matters and suggest remedies
But the measure does not seem to
have been pushed by any one since his
\ untimely death. OF course, such an
investigation would affect only the
federal courts, but it was hoped that
it would result in the adoption Of a
plan for these courts that could be
used as a model to remedy similar
abuses in state courts. Working out
any such plan for the federal courts
now seems to be in the dim distant
future.
For Kansas to start an investigation
of their own on this score is a fur
ther evidence of the pioneer sentiment
that is paramount in this state to
bring about reforms that are worth
while. Professor w. E. Higgins Of
the school of law at the state univer-
city, who has been one of the leaders
in this important movement, is au-
thority for the statement that thou
sands of dollars are being wasted ev-
cry year though the employment of
cumbersome methods of administering
the criminal law. If there was ever
a time when it was incumbent to stop
any and all possible leaks in the ad-
ministration of any branch of gov
ernment now is that time. Further
more, there is much miscarriage of
justice because of the costs that are
involved. And it is probably well with
in the truth to suggest that more
serviceable reforms for all concerned
in the matter of applying the civil
and the criminal law of any state can
be brought about by revising in many
necessary details the cumbersome
methods of procedure than there can
be through the recall of judges when.
ever crowd may deem it expedient
or through the recall of judicial de-
cisions in the same manner.-Topeka

San Diego has been getting soIue
damaging advertising because of the
treatment of DR.. Ben Reitman and
Emma Goldman. There can be no
good reason for resorting to barbaric
customs to right wrong. If those
people had violated any law, then tho
law should have been applied to the
case. AT the best, those, who made
themselves believe that they wece
melting out justice to Reitman, were
themselves violating not only the stat
utory law but the moral law as well.

catchy slogan, Meet us In our old
Kentucky home" adopted by the
Disciples OF Christ for their Interna-
Itional Convention in Louisville. Oct.
i15-22. has started a movement
lamong ex-kentuckians of the de-
domination for big homecoming In
feonnection with the event.
Kentucky is known as the "Pio-
neer Battle Ground" OF the Disciples
for the reason that many of the ia
NOUS debates between their early
leaders and those Of other denomi-
nations were held in its principal
cities and towns.
Aside from nearly 10000 mem
bers OF the denomination In the
state now, it is estimated that more
than that number of native converts
have migrated to other states: most
ly to Missouri, where the Disciples
are 175,000 strong: Indiana with
1874 900; Illinois 125.0o0; Ohio
1VU ,VUUs ItuueSS66 cU,UUUt To say
nothing of other nearby states and
in the far west.
With this homecoming feature,
and the fact that Louisville is in the
geographical center of more than
one million of their membership,
the Disciples have planned for the
largest gathering at any convention
in their history.
The local committee has already
engaged the big Louisville Armory,
with its seating capacity of 10000
and all side-rooms and convention
halls, for the event,
George A. Jones, secretary of the
committee, states, however, that the
homecoming feature Will not be
restricted to ex-Kentucky members
of the denomination. Any former
resident and all others, regardless of
creed. he declares. will be welcomed
| in the good old-fashioned Kentucky
way.

LAST OF THE EMPIRES

All the world will be republican within fifty years. Germany will be the last of the empires. It is inev- itable." These words are attributed to Emperor William of Germany in a. recent conversation with Karl Von Kroon, the historian. The emperor predicts that his son will be the last of the German emperors.
 Republican tendencies throughout the world are unmistakable. Consider Portugal and China, where radical changes in form of government have been achieved or are in process Of achievement. In countries already republican in form, a tendency to- ward what is called pure democracy is evident. A great many people have a desire to do things them selves they have heretofore entrus- ted to representatives Whether ma chinery of government can be de-

HE RECOGNIZED
 HIS AssA|LANT
Return of Motorcycle Policeman Williams With Juan
 Coronado

Officer Williams returned yesterday morning from Douglas with Juan Coronado who had been held there on the suspicion that he was the man who had stabbed the motorcycle po- liceman in front of the city hall on September 16
 MT. Williams is certain that he is the man but several Mexicans who were present at the melee resulting in the death of Scott Price, a bystander, and the stabbing of MT. Williams and Chief of Police Moore, say that Coro- nado is not the man.
 The officer said before leaving Phoe- nix that he could positively identify his aSsailant and when he reached Douglas he was taken into a room where Coronado and several others were and he said that he knew the suspect instantly.
 When he confronted Coronado, the latter who had not been appraised of his coming, almost collapsed. When Coronado was taken into custody on description of the unknown Mexican which had been sent out from the sheriffs office here he was found to be in possession of a revolver and a dirk. It is thought that Officer Williams was stabbed with a dirk
