SPANISH BEGGAR AN ODD MEND|CANT One Feels HOnored at Being

 Them-Only Ones Who

The first time I made his acquaintance was sitting in railway carriage, writes Bart Kennedy in Everyman. I was on my way to Granada, and the train stopped at a small station
 Suddenly I heard deep, sonorous, commanding voice outside the carriage window. looked out, and my eye caught the eye of the man with the voice. He had particularly noble and dignified face, and he was, perhaps, 65 years old He looked like a statesman somewhat careless about his dress. and when I was told that he was d beggar. and that his deep, commanding voice was pouring forth a recital of the hardships of his lot I was much astonished l gave him % centimos twopence), and he took the coins in g. gracious and kingly way and passed on to the next carriage. carrying with him his deep and commanding voice.

Fate had made him a beg gar but he begged like a philosopher.
 A Different Type
 The next time I met the Spanish beg gar my luck must have been out, for he was not an artist. He was wNlfish- faced young man, who confronted me sud denly as I was going up the steep road into the Alnambra. l did not like his looks and his style. and when l gave him to understand that I was one who was poor in purse he used swear-words. tride the lofty, ignoring tack with him. But 1t was useless. He followed me, let ting forth 9 flood of talk. I did not know much Spanish, but I knew enough to be able to tell that he was vividly explaining to me that was not quite the fine per- son I evidently made myself out to be. Finally he caught hold of my arm. And I turned and pushed him swiftly. It was the only way.
 Many, many beggars were in Granada. And everybody seemed to warn every body else against giving them anything The Spanisrds warned people of the tour ist persuasion against giving them aims

From the London Chronicle.
 The modern marine boat is the direct descendant of the diving bell, which had provid that air could be supplied for bathing purposes under water England can claim priority in this kind of ad- venture, although the first submarine boat on record was the invention of a Dutchman. Oddly enough, she was pros pelled by oars. By command of James I, tho trial trip of the grandparent of sub marines was made on the Thames. The chief secret of the inventor. Drebel, was described thus: The composition of a liquid that would speedily restore to the troubled air such q proportion of vital parts as would make 1t again for a good while fit for respiration" The secret was never disclosed. Plymouth Sound, near which Al has just gone down. was the scene of the earliest submarine disaster: for here it was in 1774 too sanguine ex- perimenter named Day made descent in vessel of 50 tons-and never came up again.

NO CAUSE FOR ROASTING.

'Do it for Wilson," was the dem
ocratic campaign slogan. and because
there were fewer democrats returned
to the lower house of congress, the
republican press processes to see
in that the fading of Wilson and the
loss of prestige in the things for
which he stands.
How the republicans can extract
any solace from the last election is
more than we can understand. Every
democratic senator was reelected
and three senatorial seats were TAX
en- away from the republicans. Fewer
democratic members of the house
were returned, but they were elect
ed for two short years, while the
senators are chosen for a period of
six years Wherein can there be
balm for the defeated republican
party in this?
Count the things that contributed
to the defeat of democratic congress-
men, and it will be seen that if there
had been tendency to fall away
from Wilson, the congress would have
been republican. The same stubborn
fight of the manufacturer was made
to make the democratic tariff laws
unpopular the progressiyes in most
instances, rejoined the republican
party and went back to a wallow-
ing in the mire, the new laws bear
ing the democratic stamp have not
had time TO bring results: some of
the free tariff laws are not enforc-
able for a few weeks yet The fed
eral reserve bank law is just becom-
ing reality. The freedom given
the country by the democratic laws
is Just now beginning to be realized
and the unthinking voter could be
led To believe the benefits would
never come But the last and the
greatest reason for change in the
votes of many was due to business
depression Had not the Wilson pop
ularity been entrenched as strongly
as the Rock of Gibraltar this de
preston would have swept the party
from power. Ii almost always re-
suits in changing the national ad-
ministration, but in this instance
even the severest test of loyalty
proved futile in shaking men away
from the democratic party. The
democrats are fewer in number in
this republic, and they must depend
for victory upon superior merit. vii
son and the congress know this and
they are giving us laws which prove
them to be of greater merit than
the country has ever had before.

The organized government should
take charge of rendering aid to those
who require it, There are several
reasons why this should be done:
First, the money used for such pur-
pose would come from all alike; it
would not fall heavily upon any one
person. and there should be a sum
sufficient to meet the necessities.
Second, the funds should be dispensed

chronic in their wants, and to give
them courage to earn their own way.

SENTENCE UP
HELD BY COURT
SEARCH OF HOME FOR LIQUOR
PRIOR TO KILLING HELD UN-
WARRANTED - SHOULD HAVE
BEEN CONVICTED OF MURDER.

Oklahoma City, Nov. l6.-Conviction
of John G. Duncan in the district
court of Washington county on a
charge of manslaughter and his ten
year sentence in the penitentiary are
affirmed in an opinion by presiding
judge James r. Armstrong in the Grim
inal court of appeals Monday morn
ing. Duncan killed Dallas Alexander,
an aged cattleman, on the streets of
Ochelata on election day in August,
1912. Duncan had assumed the author
ity of a peace officer and was attempt
ing to arrest Alexander when the
trouble occurred which led to the kill
ing.
Duncan's wife was a candidate in
the election tor county superintendent
Of Washington county. a meeting of
her friends was held the night before
the election to lay plans to cOunteract
opposition that had developed to her
candidacy. At the meeting AleXan-
der's name was mentioned as one who
opposed her. At the time Duncan is
said to have remarked that he would
get Alexander.
The next morning and the day OF
the election Duncan procured search
warrant from justice of the peace,
which he contended gave him the
authority of deputy enforcement Of
ficer He went to AleXander's house,
searched it and found a quart of whis-
KY which he is said to have exhibited
on the streets that afternoon.
Entrance Resisted.
Later the same afternoon, Duncan
went to AleXanders house again and
attempted a second search on the
same warrant. Alexander contended
the second search on the same war
rant was unauthorized and resisted
Duncans entrance to his home. A
scuffle followed and then the men
started toward the mayors office. On
the way the shooting took place which
resulted in the killing.
Duncan's defense rested largely on
his plea that he was acting in the
capacity of deputy enforcement of
ficer and that in killing Alexander he
acted in self-defense. Both conten-
tions, Judge Armstrong holds, are en-
trely wrong and without merit.
In the first instance, he says, the Of
flee of deputy state enforcement Of
fcer was never created by the legis-
lature.
1T was never the intention of the
law making power to authorize num-
ber of irresponsible, or responsible cit
izens for that matter, to act as law en-
forcement officers without any respon-
sibility whatever to the public for the
proper performance Of their duty,
reads the opinion.
Search UnWarra nted.
mo sheriff of the state is authorized
to search the house or private resi-
dence of any citizen without a war

able cause and to say that citizen,

not elected by the people, who is re-
sponsibla to no one and who is not
even required to be law abiding cit
i2en is to be permitted to search the
homes of citizens, is beyond reason
and is going farther than the people of

Even if Duncan was clothed with
