However. as the situation stands now,
1t will be difficult to sidetrack an in

on the floor yesterday he had no doubt
both the West Virginia Senators would
welcome an inquiry.
The charges forwarded to the Senate
BY Governor Glassceck and signed by

wards and others, as Senator La Fol-
lette pointed out. are more in the nature
of official charges than were the
charges filed by Voters League OF
Illinois. which put In the original

The petition, which was almost COM
pletely read In the Senate yesterday,
was brought to Washington by William
g. Edwards.
Democratic Senators. when the petit

nounce 1t as political. Nevertheless, Il
is believed the Republican leaders Of
West Virginia will press IL, and in

In view Of this, II is supposed
that next winter both Senators
Watson and Chiffon will ask an
investigation. They have been put in a

WOODROW WILSON.

"The working people of America
If they must be distinguished
from the minority that constitutes
the rest of it-are, of course. the
backbone of the nation. No law
that safeguards their life, that i'm

COLONEL ROOSEVELT.

"In a century and a quarter as a

American Commonwealth which I'm

PRESIDENT TAFT.

"The Republican party has been
alive to the modern change in the
view of the duty Of government to-
ward the people. Time was when
the least government was thought
the best, and the policy which left
all to the individual, unmolested
and unaided by government, was
deemed wisest.
Now the duty of government by
positive law to further equality OF
opportunity in respect to the weak
er classes in their dealings with
the stronger and more powerful Is
clearly recognized. 1t is In this di-
rection that real progress toward
the greater human happiness is
being made. It has been suggested
that under our Constitution such
tendency to so-called paternalism
was impossible. Nothing Is fur
ther from the fact."-Taft Speech

The efforts that the attorneys Of
Joe Mulley. the negro who murdered
two little boys in Marlboro county
about two years ago, are making to
save his neck. are the very sort Of
things that bring the courts into dis
repute. defeat justice, incite the peo-
pie 10 lawlessness and furnish an eX-
cuse for an appeal to lynch law
There is no doubt of the guilt of the
negro. but his attorneys. of whom
Mr.. w. f.. Stevenson. of Cheraw is
the chief. are trying to prevent the
sentence of the court being carried
out by setting up the technical plea
that at the time the crime was COM
mitted the penalty for murder was
hanging and that since that time the
legislature has changed the law and
made the penalty electrocution. This
is the most fimsy excuse, the most
far-fetched and indefensible attempt
to defeat justice that we have heard
OF i'm long time 1t is to be hopeJ
that the Supreme Court will throw
the appeal out of court and put it's
stamp of disapproval on such prac
tice In no uncertain terms. This sort
or practice makes the law a game of
chance and the court house place
where justice is not administered.

Sottile said that up to 1907 he had
never seen anybody give money to
Stothart. He said that rumors of graft
in Charleston had always existed since
