WARDEN BAKER REMOVED

The state prison board held a
meeting Monday afternoon and
removed Warden Baker to take
effect on May 10th. Governor
Oddie made the motion declaring
the office vacant and he and
Secretary of State Brodigan voted
for it: Brodigan then nominated
George ". Cowing of Carson to fill
the vacancy and the governor and
Brodigan voted for him. Cowing
is an old resident of Carson and is
noH deputy secretary of state.
The Virginia Chronicle says that
previous to the removal of Warden
Baker a report upon the hearing
conducted before the board upon
charges %perferred by the governor
against the warden was made by
Secretary of State Brodigan. In
the closing paragraph. Mr..
Brodigan says: After a careful
dispassi onate AID impartial eX-
animation of all the testimony
adduced at the hearing, ! am
forced to conclude that tie charges
preferred have not been proved to
any extent" This is taken to
mean a vindication of Warden
Baker of the charges as made by
the Governor at least partially so,
but it is evident from the ieclar-
ing of the Office vacant, that Mr..
BrOdigan believed that the best
interest of the state would he
served by the appointment of a
new warden.
George w. Cuwing. who is the
new man selected to have charge
of prison affairs is well known
throughout the state, and is an
Ormsby county man. He is a demo-
crat and identified with current
affairs. 1t is believed that he will
make an able administrator Of the
cashier of the Nye & Ormsby
county bank and was twice county
clerk of Ormsby county.

EuRoPERn JUSTICE
NOT ALWAYS SUPERIOR
TO AMERICAN BRAND

We nave heard q great deal of
late Of the vast superiority of the
Euroean courts owe those of
America. especially in the conduct
Of criminal cases. 1t has been
pointed out that the tribunals Of
England and other European
nations. in melting out justice to
murderers and other malefactors.
are as the hare to the snail IN speed
when compared with American
courts.
All of which is true. but there
are at least two sides to this as to
all questi ons. The other side is
that, while more assassins escape
punishment in the United States
than in Europe, fewer innocent
men are convicted of crime.
A cas- in point is the famous
Briere case. Eleven years ago, on
Weekly independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1887-1914, 1912-05-03

April 81 1901, five children of a
farmer named Briere. near
Charities. France. we're found dead
in bed. They had been stabbed
and beaten to death. Justice
moved quickly in this case, and
within a few weeks the father of
the children had been tried and
convicted. As a motive for the
terrible rime. the prosecution
alleged that Briere was engaged
to marry a wealthy woman and
that he looked upon his children as
being in the way.
AT the trial the justice shook
his fist in the face of the accused
man and gave loud expression of
his opinion of Briere's guilt.
Stoutly protesting his innocence,
the farmer was taken to prison,
where he sUon died.
Not long ago n dissolute chara-
cter named Joseph confessed "a
the crime. This was a case. it
seems, in which an appeal, such as
would have granted in America.
might have been better served the
cause of justice.
Fnother and more notable
instance in which the laws delay"
would have been desirable. rather
than otherwise, is to be found in
the Ferrer case in Spain. Fran
cisco Ferrer, a scholar and phIloso.
phere and the founder of a system
of modern schools" in King
Alphonso's country. was accused
of melting the Barcelona riots,
tried by a military tribunal with
that haste which many consider to
be a virtue, and speedily shot.
That was in October, 1909. Now.
two years and a half later, comes
the supreme court of Spain with
a decision, signed and sealed. 10
the effect that Ferrer had no
knowledge, guilty or other wise, of
the Barcelo a rioting, ttat his con-
viction wAs a colossal error, in
short, that he was entirely inno-
cent.
This does not mean that tie
advocates of the European brand
of speedy justice have 30 valid
argument. They can point to
statistics tina: show that, while
England has annually only anout
nine murders to each million
population, Germany five and Italy
sixteen, the United States has
about llS thirteen times as many
asEngland and more than twenty
three times as many as the kaiser's
country.

ODDIE'S ADMIRATION SOCIETY

Governor Oddie has won his
fight against Warden Baker. a
little over a year ago our republi-
al governor and our democratic
attorney general made a nasty
political combination and put a
republican warden. the brother of
the attorney general, into the
wardenchip of the prison. For a
time everything was lovely. 1t
was d sort of mutual admiration
society for over a year. Then
something gave way and the COVER
nor decided that the unholy COM
bination must lie broken up. He
asked for the warden's resignation,
but the warden knew a good thing
and refused to give up his job.
The governor then preferred
fimsy charges that he could not, or
at least did not, sustain before a
board composed of himself, the
warden's brother and George Brod
igan, secretary of state, the only
disinterested member.
Brodigan refused to make a
combination with the governor
that would place another republi-
can in Bakers shoes. The COVER.
nor in order to Gust Baker had to
como to Brodigan's terms and vote
for a democrat. This was doubt
less bitter medicine for OddIe to
take hui his hatred of Baker made
the medicine more palatable.
The first year of Governor
Oddie's administration contained
but little else than Norcross aud
Baker. The dope that filed some
of the state papers about those
men was extremely n~auseating.
In fact, il would almost make ,ho
ordinary mar throw up the soles
of his boots. Nov. that one
member Of the mutual admiration
society has been taken from the
public trough. Governor Oddie
would improve matters still more
IL he would cut OF the head of his
publicity commissioner.

A DIFFERENCE IN BUTTONS

Buttons made the supreme and
mysterious separation Of the sexes
And button holes. If as a man
you will go through your clothes,
from overcoat to the underclothes.
you will find that the buttons are
on the right and the holes on the
left.
But you will notice that the
feminine garments close up the
other way. and that the woman
demands her buttonhole To cores
pond. Feminine clothes fold from
right to left. masculine from left
to r ght. And there the problem
must be left BY a puzzled COM
mentatOr.

London, April 2O.-Intelligence has
reached the foreign ONCE OF further
disturbances on the Anglo-Liberian IRON
tier. Liberian troops have raided Sierra
Leone territory and destroyed beacons
lately erected to mark the new Anglo

When the Liberian Minister returned
to London from Monrovia in January
he announced that there had been some
trouble on the frontier, but that the
President Of Liberia had taken ener-
getic action to recall the Liberian Of
ficers who were responsible for the sit

The minister now states that he be-

necessity for the completion OF the

POLITICAL SKY IS
DARK In EUROPE
Russia's Policy Toward Turkey
Causes Anxiety to the
Other Powers.

Berlin, April S-The political sky at
present quite resembles the actual sky
above, which wears its most unsettled
and capricious April aspect. There Is no
danger Of political blizzards or thunder
storms. but equinoctlal dIsrurpances may
be quite unpleasant. and there are signs
OF political storm clouds everywhere
shall pass lightly over the Industrial un-
rest which. originating in the British
Isles. paralyzed the trade OF Albion al
most completely, and moving eastward
was felt. hough much less severely. in
the French and German coal mining dis
tricts. and take up more important po-
Htical events.
All Europe received a sudden ard un-
expected shock in the unforeseen dis
missal OF VI. TchrikOff. Russian minister
to Constantinople, which was immedi-
ately taken TO fOreshadOw a new and
hostile development of Russian policy
toward the sick man Of Europe.
Dark and inscrutable are ever the
paths Of Russian foreign politics. and
wise indeed is the man who foreses their
trend. As a rule there are therefore al
most as many ideas OF Russia's secret
plans as there are statements and chan
cellors IN Europe. but in this particular
case the German and Austrian press
agreed that the recalling OF the Russian
from nstsntinople could mean
nothing but a further step in the proc
ess OF liquidating Russia's forward pol
icy in Turkey.
