GOTTA QUIT KICKIN'
 THAT COON AROUN'

Washington, April 7.-Engag- ing in a fistic encounter with an elevator conductor in the Ebbett House last night, Senator Marcus Aurelius Smith, of Arizona, not only put himself in peril, but also two other passengers in the ele- vator.
 Senator Smith occupied a room on the fifth floor of the hotel. He wanted to go down to the first floor, George Smith, the negro con ductor, had just started his ele- vator from the first floor, carrying a guest to the sixth floor. Under the rules he was obliged to com plete the trip to the sixth floor. Senator Smith was standing by the elevator when it went by.
 "I want to go down. Stop and take me down." he demanded.
 "I'll get you on my way back" the negro replied.
 The elevator went up to the sixth floor.
 Two passengers, MT and Mrs. E. IS. Massey, bridal couple from Philadelphia on their honeymoon, entered. When the fifth was reached Senator Smith entered.
 "I'll teach you to insult me-" he is alleged to have said to the con- ductor, whereupon he doubled up his fist and struck the negro in the face. knocking him down.
 The elevator was without an 'op- orator for the time being. It started on it's journey to the ground floor. Mrs. Massey became hys- terical. The negro recovered in time to grab the controllers before the elevator reached the first floor. In the meantime Mrs. Massey had tainted and had to be carried from the elevator. Restoratives were administered and in a short time she recovered.
 Senator Smith left the hotel and did not return again until late in the evening. He refused to discuss the affair.
 Knockers are always deaf to their own knocks.

Mr. Young has paid union labor
wages and union labor has sold him
good service. The Capital has had
some of the best mechanical men il
the country. That by the way is one
excellent reason why the linotype
machines have not baked.
The Times-Tribune's apparent idea
that the payment of honest wages for
honest service includes political in
dorsement and possibly individual
franchises lacks modernity. 1t doesn't
any more. True enough the principle

the editor and the professor. So far
as Professor Kennedy is concerned in
his personal difficulties with the Ames
paper he can take care Of himself AS
conc ems g. quotation from the Times
Republican in which the professor
was sharply criticised regarding
charges made against him at the time
Of his citation before the educational
board the criticism quoted should be
accompanied by its artidote. The pro-
fessor convinced the T.-R- that he had
been misrepresented before the board
dealt with the matter and this paper
go stated editorially from a desire to
be entirely fair. The board seems to
have agreed with Professor Kennedys
answer to the charges az he was fully
and completely exonerated by that
body.
The point in the matter is that Ken
nedy is not candidate for governor
and whatever may be properly urged
against him Is not essential and ger

pacity and fitness for the office Holden
is candidate and as such is open to
