before a spacious grounds. Not soul

At 10 o'clock on the night of July :, A
little black bearded, swarthv faced man
hurried from the side door of a Wash

him and all about him, signaled ner-
vously to a taxicab on the curb and
spent several minutes in whispered
conversation with the chauffeur The
bargain concluded, he stepped inside
closed the door with another furtive
glance about and the taxi moved awav.
Almost immediately another taxi
standing a few feet nearer the corner.
started into motion and followed.
The man at the wheel of the second
machine turned his head and spoke into
the black and, apparently, empty depths
Of his vehicle.

LIGHT DEMOCRATIC
ATTENDANCE IN CONGRESS-

Democrats in Congress are democrat

Disheartened, the Democratic mem
bers are guilty of deliberate neglect.
By actual daily count since the holt
days the Democrats have been fewer
in number on the floor of the House

would have supposed that the Repub-
icans and not the Democrats were the
responsible party.
There are in the House 22s Demo
Gratis and 1877 Republicans. The record
of attendance shows hat on every day
during January, with the exceptions
noted, the Republicans outnumbered
the Democrats on the floor, sometimes
two to one, and sometimes three to one

EDITOR o VICTIM
OF VICIOUS LAWS

Editor W. w. Booth, of the Tonopat
Bonanza, evidently having exhausted
all his resources, surrendered himself
to the sheriff of Nye county Wednes-
day morning, to serve out the Jail sen.
tence of six months, recently imposed
upon a conviction of criminal libel. On
the same day the state board of par
Ions met in special session, to consider
Mr.. Booth application for pardon,
and after straining at the problem for
several hours discovered that they
were not big enough to grant the APP
plication, but finally agreed on a pa
role, to become effective after a week
of the sentence has been served. The
board was particular to state that the
parole was only granted on account Of
GUS state of health, etc. As the editor
of the Bonanza is but ffty-fve years
of age, he will probably be able to
prolong life until indicated by the
voters of the state.
But the basic cause of Mr.. Booth 5
present unpleasant situation is due to
vicious laws. The libel law of the state
is unfair to the press and is thought by
many to be in contradiction to the Con-
stitution of the United States, which
guarantees a free press and free
speech. Then, again, while the punish
ment for libel (gross -misdemeanor) is
practically as severe as for the lesser
felonies, there is no right of appeal,
and no matter if the convicted man
has been made the victim of a biased
court and jury, he must accept the pun
ishment melted out to him.
But far more dangerous to the lib
critics of the people, is the law passed
by a late legislature, which permits
prosecution by indictment of a grand
jury or on an information filed by the
district attorney. In the case under
discussion the district attorney was
the prosecuting witness, and instead
of presenting the evidence to a grand
jury and asking for an indictment, ne
exercised the option given him by a
pernicious law and filed the informa-
tion direct.
The only argument ever advanced In
favor of the passage of this law was
to save the various counties of the
state the expense of boarding prison
ers who wished to plead guilty to
charges against them, for several
months before a session of a grand
jury. 1t was certainly never intended
to permit vindictive district attorneys
to punish their personal enemies.
Let the law be amended to give this
option to defendants, and then a pris-
oner who wishes to plead guilty and
receive immediate sentence may de-
mand that an information. be filed
Otherwise all criminal cases should be
presented to a grand jury.
