BROOKS FATE IS
IN HANDS OF JURY
MURDER TRIAL FINISHED
DEFENDANT DENIES KILLING
MAN HE is ALLEGED TO
HAVE SLAIN.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Shortly before o'clock this WED
nesday) afternoon, the case of the
State against Rule Brooks, charged
with murder in the second degree for
killing G. w. Ellis near Cato in Sep
TENDER, 1912, went to the jury. By
holding night session the court sue
ceeded in completing the case within
one day, it having been taken up yes
terday afternoon.
Ellis received a deep knife wound
which caused his death, in fight with
Brooks at brush arbor where a meet
/ ing was in progress. The defendant,
however, positively denied that he
struck Ellis with a knife, and the the
DRY of the defense is that Ellis was
accidentally killed by his own son,
George, who endeavored to intercede
in the fight in his fathers behalf.
A long-bladed knife belonging to
George Ellis was found near the scene
of the fight and introduced in evil
dence.
The state was represented in the
trial by Prosecuting Attorney j. B,
Read and r. G. Bruce, the defendants
counsel being G. w. Clark and r. W.
Robins.
Sentence is expected to be pro-
nounced within the next two or three
days upon Robert Threet, whose con-
viction of capital crime and sentence
to death was reversed by the supreme
court.
The grand jury today returned two
indictments against Frank Chamness
one charging him with assault to kill
R. L. McNcw on October %, 1913, and
the other charging grand larceny for
stealing two pigs belonging to McNew
on the same date.
The jury in the case of State
against Miles May, charged with dis
urbing the peace, yesterday afternoon
returned verdict of not guilty.
The criminal docket is now prac-
tically disposed of and the civil docket
was taken up this afternoon. All of
the railroad cases were set for trial
today.

she ever made a statement advocating
making motherhood a governmental in
stitution" and Mrs. Gait denies equally
fragrant untrnths, it suggests malice pre-
pense when the anti-suffragists still per-
sist in misquoting them. There is no
movement but has its riff raft. but the
pity lies in letting the riff raft color the
mass. Out of 40 societies for suffrage in
England, three are militant and yet mill
fancy has blinded the eyes of most peo-
pie to the thousands of sane. conserva-
tive, constitutional suffragists who are
quietly and steadily working for the fran
chise.
1t is a pity to be SO excessively parti-
san that one does not see clear, Tor after
all we are all trying to work out solu-
ton for ills We all decry, and only riffer
in our opinions as to the best way to do
it. Calling each other names is not going
to help bit. Neither is 1T going to nelp
to accuse each other of Interior motives
in our efforts for or against the winning
% fthe ballot The question of feminism
is beside the mark in this demand for
suffrage. There is no more correlation
between the suffragists and the ultra
feminists than there is between the
women who seek to earn their livelihood
by profession or trades and the ultra
feminists. There are ultra-f eminists VINO
belong to every walk of life. women
iconoclasts, by nature, dissatisfied, rest
less unhappy who revolt against existihs
institutions and laws for no reason ex-
cept that they do exist, btu they are IN
class by themselves and draw TO their
rangs from women everywhere.
To align them with the suffragists is
as unfair as to call the ants all rumsell-
ers commercialiZed vice opponents and
machine politicians, because ii is an un-
disputed fact that these interests are
lined up against the suffrage movement.
Teh suffragists believe in their sex.
They do not fear ultra-feminism any
more than they fear Buddhism, few
misguided women will follow the one or
the other but the main body of women
hood will remain much as IL is, loyal.
honest, and womanly and unselfsh and
whatever added freedom is given them
will hold little OF menace and much OF
inspiration for the future.
There is a splendid power in these de-
voted women who are asking to STAND
shoulder to shoulder with men in the fignt
for human uplift-a power which is not
theoretical but which has been Won
through the experience of the layin on
of hands in philanthropic and SOCIAL
work-and we are singularly short sight
ed if we fail to see that their intelIi-
genee. their enthusiasm and their cara
hilIty will be strong factors in the max
ing and enforcing of wise and just laws.

of our municipalities and therefore in
the evolution of better cities and better

Mayor Newbert's Candidacy.

OF course we could not be expected
to favor one candidate over another
before the primaries, SO. we have no
Democratic candidate at this stage OF
the game. If we had, we can assure
our Augusta friends, we would as
room it be Hon. e. E. Newbert as any
other in his party. However, we re-
ceiye the formal announcement of his
candidacy with some regret that he
should allow himself to be led by his
friends into the mistake of wasting
his time and hard earned dollars.
The next governor of Maine will be
an enforcement Republican. and Mr..
Newbert would get the distance flag
in the race, even if he could capture
the nomination from the wealthy, re-
sourceful and more or less unscrupu-
lous Curtis. In fact. we'd rather
have the pleasure of trouncing Curtis
than our friend Newbert.
Too bad to disturb a good mayor to
make bad race!

Col. Hale for Unity.

Col. Frederick Hale meets the party
needs with becoming grace and hand
some subordination of his personal
ambitions in the interests of unity.
IT is this sort of recognition of con-
ditions and demands that really makes
a man worth while to his associates.
Some day they will be glad to remem-
Der it and to be represented by a man
that is bigger than his own desires.
Col. Hale says:
The announcement of Mr.. Kinds
withdrawal came to me as a sur
prise, and / had had no intention OF
.eontesting the nomination with him.
On my return to this country ten days
ago | learned that Mr.. Kinds had de-
cided to run again if not opposed Tor
the nomination. / believe that the
next election will be vitality imper-
tant one for the Republican party.
believe that we Republicans will have
to make the fight of our lives, and that
we should enter the campaign with
united forces. Under the circum-
stances while / confess / am some
what surprised at the change In Mr..
Kinds plans, If it seems best that Mr..
Kinds should have the nomination
without opposition I shall cheerfully
aequiesee and shall not be the one TO
bring about fight in the primaries.

The case, arising from divergent

Editorial Comment.
Renegade Americans.
PHILADELPHIA Press.l

REPORTS from London that two
prominent American citizens, as pro-
test against the new income tax, have
become British subjects. and that
large number of others have threat
ened to do likewise, are euriously at
variance with consular reports from
the same place that tell of hereto
fore unknown Americans, who had
lived quietly and unknown in country
districts. and who now have come for
ward cheerfully to declare incomes that
are frequently IN excess of fifty thou
sand dollars.
This country is none the worse off
for losing that type Of citizen Who
loves his purse better than his father
land. 4 man who can change his
nationality as he would a garment is
of no value to any nation The true
American can no more dream of chang
ing his nationality than he can dream
of changing his mother, his brother or
the color of his eyes.
"Our country" said Stephen Deca-
tur nearly a century ago. may she
always be in the right: but our coun-
try, right or wrong" Time has not
changed the meaning of patriotism.
The majority of Americans doubt
less feel that Congress was wrong in
passing the income tax. On every side
it has been attacked as absurd. unfair.
discriminatory, unjust and utterly un-
necessary But to the lasting glory
of the nation be it recorded that even
the harshest critics of this law con-
slider its burdens not too great price
to pay for the privilege of being an
American
