"Irv" Caswell furnished the craft
with a perfectly sweet reproduction
of his angelic features in the form of
a photograph. It is real work Of
art and the only criticism we have to
offer is that it does not re emble him
in the least. We can't imagine why,
when he had dead immortal cinch on
the position, he should egender his
chances by pictorial misrepresenta-
ton. The picture bears the legend
"Only candidate for state office in the
10th Congressional District" He
might have added with equal truth
"0nly man running for Clerk of the
Supreme Court in the state" The
other fellows are not even hopping
for the place. We cut the name from
the portrait, had halo painted above
the head and labeled it est. Barthol.

Charley Scheers in his Akeley Her

is up to the opposition to show what
Lindbergh didn't do. 1t must have
been Charley's little girl who wrote
the following composition on pins
"Pins save the lives of hundreds Of
thousands of people every year." And
who, when her astonished teacher
asked her how, made this crushing re-
joinder, "By their not swallowing

HIS SUPPORT.

James A. Manahan, the chameleon
politician who became Congressman
at Large from the state of Minnesota
on a fuke, one Of those flukes that
sometimes occur in the history OF
states and nations, has become tired
of congressing, or has come to the
conclusion that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place and that ne
has no chance in a straightaway con-
test in the new Tenth district; has
projected himself into the race for
Attorney General, having filed in op-
position to Lyndon A. Smith, and is
making speaking campaign through
the State.
He and his friends are having a
great deal to say about the support
he is receiving from the press and the
public. So far as anyone has been
alb e to discover the only press support
he is receiving is from Democratic
papers, not old reliable Democratic
ones, like the ST. Cloud Times, who are
permenantly Democratic in lean years
and in fat years, but from those
wheezy yearling Democratic publica-
lions with whom bacon and Democra-
cy are synonymous terms.
This is natural; Mr.. Manahan bases
his political affiliation on perquisites,
and "Birds of feather flock to-
gether." 1t has never seemed to us
that the support of occasional Dem
ocrats was very good recommends
ton for Republican candidate.

Has Winning Personality.
Preston Times: 1t is charged that
money is being used tonominate Jake
Preus for state auditor. We don't be-
lieve it. Jake was in Preston recent
ly and met lot of people, but he
didn't spend a cent except his hotel
bill. He don't have to. His winning
personality is more potent t:lan mon
ey, his clean record and we'll known
ability instantly bring MIN into pub
lie favor. Jake's nomination seems
absolutely certain and the expenses
connected with it will bear the clos
est scrutiny.
What is Republican?
Preston Times: We are becoming
more and more puzzled to know "what
is Republican ?" Congressman Lind
bergh has again filed as republican
sworn to it-and yet he has fought
everything republican for years. Jim
Manahan is running for Attorney
General on the republican ticket, was
elected to Congress two years ago,
and yet he has not drawn a repubIi-
can breath all his life. Nose Clapp
goes about the country firing broad
sides into the republican party, as
does Teddy Roosevelt, yet both owe
their political success to the party
they now decry. Bill Lee bolted the
party two years ago and will bolt it
again this year if he fails of nomln-
alton, yet he expects republicans to
support him if he is nominated. He
has no words of commentator for its
achievements of the past, nothing but
abuse for the present, We: ne is seek
ing republican votes. Again we ask,
"what is a republican ?"

M0h Seeks American.

Vera Cruz, May 11.-At Mexico City
large number of men and boys are
drilling in the streets. A few nights
ago a mob gathered before the Brazil
ian legation and demanded that Luis
D'Antin, an attache of the American
emassy, who had taken refuge there,
be delivered over. Threats were made
to kill him.
The Brazilian minister notified the
state department, and added that he
would only surrender D'Antin if he
overpowered by the mob. The anti
pathy to the attache is due to the fact
that he is the only American official
left in the capital and because of his
activity in relieving the distress of
American non combatants.

OPINION BY HOLMES
Justice Wright Had Sentenced
Defendants on Charge of
Contempt in 1907
(By Associated Press)

Washington, May 11.-Ending years
of bitter legal fighting, the supreme
court today set aside the sentence i'm
posed by the District of Columbia su-
preme court upon Samuel Gompers,
John Morrison and John Mitchell, for
alleged contempt of court in 1907, for
violating injunctions against alleged
boycotting Of tn eBucks Stove and
Range Company.
Holmes Delivers Opinion.
Justice Holmes announcing the de-
cision, said that even if the statute
did not cover contempt, the necessity
for the speedy disposition of such
cases was so great it would establish
the rule that by analogy contempt
proceedings must be begun within
three years after the committing Of the
offence. Justices Vandeventer and
Pitney dissented.,
Justice Holmes said the controversy
turned upon the question Of whether
contempt Of court is a crime barred
by the statute of limitations which
provides that no person shall be prose-
cuted for an offence unless by Gin
dictment" or information brought
within three years. .
Argument Reviewed.
He reviewed the argument that the
statute applied only to cases that
could be proceeded against by indict-
ment or information, and explained
that the court had decided these words
are controlled by the substantial por-
tion Of the statute that mo person
shall be prosecuted for an offense" not
committed within three years.
The court rejected the argument
that the offense continued until the
end of the labor boycott against the
company in 1910. The offense charg-
ed, Justice Holmes, said, was not on
continuing conspiracy to boycott,
but specific acts. ....
The conduct of Justice Wright, who
imposed the sentences in the lower
court, are being investigated by the
house committee under resolution for
Impeachment. ~

COTTON PRICES
IN CLOSE RANGE
Short Session in New York and
Good Crop News Depresses
the Market

New York, May 1.-THE cotton mar
ket did not open until II a. m. today as
a mark Of respect to the American
marines killed at Vera Cruz, and trad
ing was very quiet during the short
session, while prices fluctuated within
a range Of to points. The close was
barely steady, net one point higher
to two points lower.
The report of southern crop ex-
pert, indicating that conditions had
been favorable over ninety per cent.
of the cotton belt during the past week
probably encouraged locad offerings.
Moreover, the detailed weather reports
indicated generally very good con-
ditions in the belt for the past forty
eight hours. After selling about 1
to 8 points net lower, however, the
market was steadied by covering and
closed about net unchanged on the
more active positions.
Cotton futures closed barely steady.

ARE FLOWING INTO
CONGRESS CALLING FOR AC-
..-
j.. TION ON THE BILL I...
THE BILL is In THE HOUSE
Was Reported By Judiciary Commit
'.-. . ~
tee Without Any, Recommendation.
Evidently Some Action? Must Be
Taken at This Session Congress. !

Washington, May 10.-House mem
bers-many of them at 'least-are in
blue funk and all fused up over
what to do with the prohibition
question. For months past it has been
evident to those who have kept track
of legislative affairs in the national
capitol. that the time would come
when this issue could no longer be
lodged or sidetracked. The upshot
of the matter is that house members
the Democratic element-will eau
Gus Tuesda ynight to decide what def
mite steps to take That this caucus
will not be cut and dried affair and
that it will not in any respect re-
semble an afternoon tea party is al
ready evident The truth about the
matter is that the prohibition men in
congress have been laying their plans
so well that they feel that now is the
time for action. '.. s'''.- . +.
AS an evidence that the proh1blt1on
question, in many of the 435 con-
gressional districts of the country. is
to be live issue in teh, elections of
the coming summer is most apparent
from a casual reading of The Con-
gressional Record. 1t is quite prob
able that not less than 1000 petit
tions, some against prohibition and
some for it, are presented each day.
Members are being urged either by
the saloon forces or the anti-saloon
people to become active and to Sc
cure pledges Of their colleagues to
sustain either one side or the other
when the matter comes to an issue.

HENDERSON WINS.

Former Incumbent Conner Sur
prises Friends in the Light
ness of Vote

Birmingham, May 11.-Charles Hen
derson, Of Troy was today nominated
for governor of Alabama over former
Governor B. B. Conner. His majority
probably will be more than ten thous-
and. Conner failed to show the strength
his friends expected in the rural coun-
ties, while the big counties like JEFF
ferson, Mobile, Montgomery and Pike,
the home of Henderson, gave the Troy
man even larger mbajorities than his
supporters expected.
The race for congressman from the
eighth district to succeed William
Richardson is apparently close be-
tween Judge E. E. B. Almon, of Tus-
cumbia and w. WI Callahan of De-
catur.
Frank S. White was given large

senator to succeed Joseph E. John
ston. He had no opposition.

led the tickets, but who failed to get

BOY KILLED IN WRECK

Durham, N. c., May 11.-A freight
wreck at Hillsboro today caused %
cars to be thrown down the steep in
cline, and two white youths beating
their way, were Instantly killed. They
were Arthur Griffin and Bernice
Prince. Four other boys are in Sc

River. The wreck was caused by
a heavy coal car jumping the track.
Four full oil cars burst and this
started fire but it was extinguished
before any great damage was done.
