A LEGAL PRINCIPLE.

new question has been sprung
promptly decided by one Of the su-
preme Court justices of that State.
The case arose through the escape of a
woman from the Massachusetts insane
asylum at Worcester. Requisition was
issued for her return to Massachusetts,;
but resistance was made, and the New
York Supreme Court Justice held that
an insane person cannot be extradited
TO another State; the only cause of such
extradition is in the case of Grim
inal offense, and as the justice ruled
insanity is not a crime
The Justice is probably correct in his
ruling; but that ruling simply shows
a defect in legislation. The clause in
the Federal Constitution which requires
that due faith and credit be given by
each State to the acts and relations of
other States. would seem 10 require the
return Of insane persons under proper
acquisitions without raising any ques-
tiop of criminality. Undoubtedly, the
insane person ought to be subject to
return to the State of Massachusetts,
and to her regularly constituted au-
thorities. New York simply has failed
to provide for such a case by legisla.
ton; but this case is probably. the
first; and without doubt it will be used
TO further the proper legislation which
ought to be had in such a case. There
is no reason whatever why cxtradition
should be refused in such case, save
only the technical reason of lack of
legislation.

DEATH OF JOHN P. JONES.

The death Of former Senator John
Percival Jones, who lived in Nevada
and was Senator from that State dur
ing the great silver agitation, is one that
cannot be allowed to pass without some
special mention. Senator Jones was
born in Herefordshire, England, Janu-
ary 27, 1929, He was, therefore, i'll
his S4th year. He came with his par
ents TO the United States in his in.
fancy; was educated in the public
schools OF Cleveland, Ohio, and in the
early part of the gold excitement went
TO California and engaged in mining.
He was a member of the California
State Senate from 1863 to 1867, in
which latter year he went to Nevada
and engaged in the development of
mines there. He was u. S. Senator from
Nevada for five terms, 1873 to 1908.
Senator Jones was the great cham
pion OF silver in the Senate. In fact,
he was the great leader of the silver
cause in the United States. He sepa-
rated from tho Republican party at its
National convention held in st. Louis
in 1896, when the gold standard was
endorsed. Afterwards, however, when
the silver question ceased TO be acute,
he returned TO the Republican party.
He has lived in semi-retirement since
his departure froDi the Senate, at San
Ia Monica, California. which he
founded. He was man Of brilliant
attainments, Of manly character, and
of sturdy vigor both of body and
mind that won him devoted friends,
both in public and in private life. He
was stulwart character indeed, and
admirable In his acts and staunchness
of mind. hns death will be mourned
by scores of thousands Of people
throughout the United States.

and improved
The athletic instructor Of Missouri
University is merely repeating an old
and wcIl-provcd truth when he says
that for athletic purposes the boys of
the cities average higher in perfection
of physical development than do boys
on the farms. This. however. is some
thing that will not necessarily he so
always; for the boys on the farms arc
now being offered far better opportuni-
ties than ever before to get everything
that the city boy has, and besides. the
country is getting so thickly settled
that farm boys are no longer remote
and aloof as heretofore; but it is easy
TO get up large companies of them at
any time when "A matter Of interest
to them is brought forward. The con,
ditions spoken Of by the Missouri ath-
letic instructor arc not permanent; and
with every year the difference between
the two classes of boys viii become
less and less and will finally disappear.

DIVISION IS DISCUSSED.

1t appears that the Turks are finally
beginning to show something Of their
old fighting and staying qualities. But
1t seems curious that Greek invest
ing force should have been surprised
and defeated by an army of Turks
near Monastir. IT is singular indeed
that any army of Turks should be
found near Monastir, since the Ser
vians captured that place and the army
Of $4,000 Turks that was defending
it. But the fighting qualities of the
Turks have been known for ages, and,
undoubtedly, there must be some rem.
nant of that fighting quality left.
The threatened war among the great
powers Of Europe over the division of
the conquered Turkish territory in
Europe, undoubtedly, has heartened the
Turks moro than anything that has oc.
CURED since the beginning Of the war.
AT that beginning they were taken
completely by surprise and swept off
their feet, to their immense damage;
but they have rallied behind the forti.
6cations Of Tchatalja and appear, &c.
cording to the report of the defeat or
the Greeks, to have fighting armies
right in the territory which was sup
posed to have been swept entirely
clear Of them.
Austria continues her objections to
Servia g expansion, and there are ru-
mors as TO what compensation -
may be asked or granted. A rumor
from Paris, for instance, speaks of q
scheme to grant the italian province of
Trent, still held by Austria, to Italy
as 4 reward for helping Austria to
thwart Servia IS expansion, and to give
Austria still further expansion on
the Adriatic Sea, shutting out Servia
altogether. Italy would naturally be
10th to act with Austria in this matter
unless she got some reward for so do
ing. The province Of Trent, which is
Italian in population. would be a good
reward, and the fitness Of such an ad-
justment is urged is the reason why
it would be made. Otherwise, the
project would be wild one altogether.
But it is evident that matters are
framing up so as to deprive Servia If
possible Of any benefit from the war.
But the Balkan allies are pushing for
ward just the same as if they knew
nothing Of any intentions or objections,
and it is very likely that they have as
surapces from Russia that they Will be
allowed to reap the harvest of their
conQuests.

'sYsTEMATIzING'' BUSINESS.

Whenever the combinations. trusts
or monopolics wish TO obtain a frmcr
hold upon the several links Of business
that effect the general public, they
proceed under tho cupbemiStic phrase
of systematizing' business. And
when they get their business thorough
ly Esystematized, - il is found that
they have complete control Of that
business from first TO last, and they
have the whip hand on the consumer,
compelling him to meet their demands,
whatever those demands may be.
Illustrating the principle, the people
of Philadelphia, New York. and other
Eastern cities have suddenly walked
up TO tho fact that the anthracite coal
carrying roads own the retail coal
yards in the cities, as well as the coal
mines and the coal transport to market
That is, the combine owns the coal bust

THE IDAHO LEGISLATURE.

The election in Idaho was rather
close as between Wilson and Taft; but
there was nothing close about the
Legislature of that State. The Boise
Statesman on Wednesday morning had
a complete list of the Legislature elect,
classifying the members simply as Re-
publieans and Democrats. According to
the Statesman g list the following is the
political complexion Of the Legislature
of our northern neighbor:
Senate-Republicaps q, Democrats
8; total, "a.
House of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ans 56, Democrats 4; total. 90.
In joint session the Republicans will
number II, the Democrats 7.
The Statesman makes no count OF any
Progressives elected to the Idaho Legis-
lature. There mnst have been num-
Der of these. however; and yet there
appears 10 reason to doubt but that
the Idaho Legislature will quickly and
surely elect two Republican Z. s. Sen
ators; one TO fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Hepburn. and
without doubt, Senator Borah, whose
term expires next March, will be chosen
TO succeed himself.

RELIEF FOR BALKAN NEED.

commendable movement which Colonel
James \. Irons Of the Twentieth Infan-
try Mt Fort Douglas stands sponsor for

have great concert in the Tabernacle
on December 10th, a week from next
Tuesday. His regimental band. the
Tabernacle choir under the direction of
Professor Stephens, and other musical
celebrities Of this city, will take part
There can be no doubt but that the
movement will receive emphatic sup
port throughout this community. The
object of the concert is to raise funds
to alleviate the suffering in the Bal.

CITY VS.. COUNTRY BOYS.

The athletic Instructor in the Uni
versitv Of Missouri is attracting q good
deal Of attention TO himself, by say
ing Of his that BOYS from the farm u.s.
ually are not so we'll developed as city
boys, He claims that investigation has
proved TO him that the students who
come off the farm have overdevelopcd
arms and shoulders, and the rest Of
their bodies arc comparatively weak /;
but that the city boys develop normal.
~, and is. as be claims. more per-
feet specimen of humanity than the
patches report DR.. l.. !. Cooke, gym
nasium director and head OF the depart,
ment of physical education Of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, as Of the same
opinion.
The reason for this doubtless is that
the boys in the city must be MP and
doing, alert. aud their muscles all in
good condition, practically in train
ing. all the time. And then. they have
athletic training OF various sorts in
gYmnaslums, in games OF various kinds.
and in contests of running. jumping,
wrestling and the like. which usually
are not practiced To the same extent
on the farms, chiefly, no doubt, be-
cause IT is so much easier TO get 10.
sether company OF boys in the cities
than 1t is TO get together such com.
pany on the farms; and the city BOYS
know moro ways of exercising their
muscles than the country boys are apt
TO learn.

ing the Civil War in this country, that

THE POSTAL PUZZLE.

The post office officaldom in Wash,
ington has been extremely anxious for
two or three years past 10 get mt the
newspapers and make them pay $50,
000,0 or 100000 900 or SO to put the
post office department on a profitable
bass. As a revenge for not being able
to do this. there was smuggled into the
post office Appropriation bill the
present wear ''rijcr' which puts tho
newspapers at a very great cost III
printing the word advertisement up-
OH certain SCHEDULED matter, much or
which ) nor advertising nj all. and
there a.sC were certain requirements
made as TO printing the names Of own.
ers, officers and stockholders in news
papers, as well as the circulation of the
paper, all involving considerable e1-
pense in occupying valuable space. All
these things are costly, and are inquisi-
tor'ai requirements applying to this
class o. business alone and TO no other.
However, it is held that the law is un-
constitutional, and it is being contested
IN the courts.
But the contention that the post Of
flee department loses money by carry
ing newspapers at the one-oent rate has
been absolutely disproved; express COM
panies make money by carrying them at
that charge. What, however, is TO be
said about the franking privilege grant
ed to oflicialdom? During tho fiscal
year which ended last June the
mails carried more than 60,000,000
pounds OF franked matter. Doubtless,
the report for tho present year will
show even a greater amount of franked
matter passed through the mails, be-
cause this is the Presidential year,
and the parties on all sides were active
in getting campaign matter franked.
Probably a hundred million pounds
would not be too great an estimate for
this matter carried free in the mails.
But how can it be expected that
business will pay which carries such
enormous quantities of matter free9
And why should there be any enmity
against the newspapers, or any idea Of
requiring them to pay for mail car
riage which is balanced on the wrong
side Of the ledger by reason of this
enormous free mail transportation
Congress had better reform itself and
it's official departments in Washing
ton so far as the postal department is
concerned, before making such e1tor-
tomato and Illegal demands upon the
newsDapers.

UNSETTLED IN MAINE.

The Legislature just elected in Maine
has been classed as Republican, and
certain to elect Republican Senator
TO succeed Hon. Obadiah Gardner.
Democrat, whose term will end next
March.
But 1T IS now stated that seventeen
of the members classed as Republican
are really Progressives, and that if they
stand together against the election of
a Republican Senator they can control
the situation.
The Legislature is reported as 80 Re-
publicans to SO Democrats. 1t would,
therefore, take all Of the II Progress
ives to act with the Democrats in
order TO elect Democrat or Progress
i've 20 the U. s. Senate. The likcli-
hood of that sort of joint action does
not seem TO be very great; especially
as the Progressives and Republicans
acted together in the State election. the
candidates for the Legislature, both Re
publican and Progressivcs, pledging
themselves TO act together in the cleo
tioD of u s. Senator. The split as
between the Republicans and Progress.
ives did not come in Maine until after
the state election In September; so
that the scare now sprung that the he.
pubIicans might not elect a Senator in
Maine after all would seem TO be un-
reasonable

THE ARMS OF THE VENUS.

The Venus dc Milo, the glorious
statue which has for centuries been The
admiration of the world, is armless;
but the theory that it was left so by
the sculptor has received very little
acceptance in art circles, and it has
been conjectured that tho arms were
violently broken off; and the position
Of the statue led to the hypothesis that
one band held an apple aud the other
held up the loosely flowing robe. \
story is now told that Is accepted by
French critics as the truth. This story
is that the secret reports Of the two
French officers who secured the
statue show that the arms were broken
off in "A struggle between the French
party which obtained tho statue, under
the command of two French officers,
and party Of Turks: and that in tbs
struggle ihc French party won. The
report of those officers confirms the
conjecture indicated, that one hand
held an apple and the other held up the
robe.

convincing manner. II would DO
