I am not a believer in that policy ‘to the victor belongs the spoils’ I don't know what my actions will be until I hear all the evidence, and when I do I will have the best interests of the state to conserve.” It has been contended ever since his name was mentioned for the pjace that, being elected, Mareus H. olcomb would be governor in full control of the office. Basis for such was found in'his career as individual, official and judge. He did not par- ticipate in the campaign which was Zfollowad by his selection as Connecti- cut's chief executive and he carefully refrained from any activity, promises or entanglements. He was recogniz- ed as a man of quelifications who has the welfare of the state at heart and the position which he takes now that he can talk politics without conflict i with any judicial office, has the right ring. - From the expresston of the voters : last month, Judge Holcomb was look- _ed upon as the man of the hour, His words make it evident that he realizes the responsibilities which have been conferred upon him and that he is determined to assume them with the same regard In meeting and interpret~ ing the requirements as actuated him in “the judicial capaeity from which the has just retired. Not only has he the opportunity but he can be relied upon to be a watchdog of the state's interests. REAR ADMIRAL MAHAN The removal of Rear Admiral Ma- han by death brings freshly to mind , the Important position which he held as an authority upon naval affalrs as well as the able service which he rendered in the naval war board dur- ing the Spanish war. His writings have commmanded widespread atten- tion' among naval experts, not solely throughout this country but in Furope as well, and it is impossible to tell how vital has been his influence in directing attenfion to the importance of sea power. As is said by the New York Tribtune, ‘He was uot only an expert in the <conduct of naval warfare, but he possessed the eift—rare among sol- diers and sailors—of being able to gen- eralize from his knowledge and ex- perlence. He had the soundness of the thorough student and a literary quality which gaye cleayness and ord- erliness to his conclusions. He could analyze operations and trace results to thefr causes. Gradually he bullt up & theory of sea power and its effect upen tho outcome of wars and the development of nations which has been accepted by critice the world over.

That they have the same opportuni- ty as others to break into and de- welop the back to the farm movement is unquestioned. They are encdunter- ing some problems many of which are| harder for them then they would be for others who are familiar with the conditions and the requirements, but they are tackling them co-operatively and with the determination and per~ sistency characteristic of the race. With such a spirit and being willing to learn it is but matural that each year shows better Tesults than its predecessor. They are proving the faith which was placed in such' & movement. EARLY XMAS SHOPFING There is a double purpose underly- ing the movement in behalf of early Christmas shopping and such must be apparent to each and every one who has occasion to visit the stores during It doesn’t require much thought to make it evident that when a large number of people have a certain amount of trading to do, it can be accomplished with a great deal more satisfaction and comfort when it is distributed over a reasonable period, than by attempting to crowd it all into a few days or hours. Though promoted primarily for. the purpose of giving relief to the army of clerks Who are called upon to bear the brunt of the old method of put- ting everything off until the last min- ute, early Christmas shopping has likewise come to be recognized as of equally great value to the purchaser. There are benefits to be derived by all concerned. The stores are reliev- ed of much of the hustle and bustle, fauitfinding and disappointments, but the same is also true in equally large measure of the shopper. “Shop early” is a blessing to every individual at this season of the year. Its merits have won such recognition that the merchant knows the value of making it possible by the early diplay of Christmas goods. The shrewd buyer knows the advantage of the early and larger assortment and the benefit which comes through avoiding the jostling crowd and from better service. To those who can it is the ideal method of Christmas shopping. “JIM CROW” LAWS Even though there has been persist- ent and strong opposition to the so- called “Jim Crow” laws in various states, without great progress being made, there is special interest in the decision which has been given by the TUnited States supreme court relative the hollday season. to the Oklahoma law bearing that name. While this decision fails to accomplish what the petition sought in the effort to secure constitutional rights for the Negro, it was simply because of the wrong method of pro- cedure rather than the unconstitu- tonality of the question, involved, which caused its dismissal. . In comnection therewith, however, and bearing upon the very point in question, the supreme court in its memorandum set forth very clearly its attitude upon the matter of race dis- orimination, when it said concerning fair treatment and equal right, that “the essence of the constitutional right is that it is a personal one” calling for the “substantial equality of treat- ment of persons traveling under like conditions” and not getting them the traveler “may properly complain that his substantial privileges have been invaded.” This declaration indicates what be expected in the way of an in- terpretation of “Jim Crow” law when presented in legal form before that tribunal. 1t is of course not the only case of this kind before the court and from the position taken in the majori- ty declsion the court may he preparing the way for what may be expected later on. It certainly is not in favor of “Jim Crow” legislation. EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘With four kings on the battle lines it looks like a time to play trumps.

Whe: a more charm- FAMOUS TRIALS TRIAL OF DANIEL MACFARLAND A tragedy almost entirely forgotten today, but which at the time created an unusual amount of excitement throughout the United States, was the killing of Albert D. Richardson, a war correspondent long attached to the New York Trbune, in the office of that newspaper, by Daniel MacKar- iand, a lawyer, on the evening of Nov. 25, 1869. At one time the two men were cloge friends, but MacFarland Dbelieved that Richardson bore entirely too friendly a relationsiip with Mrs. MacFarland, and they became estrang- ed, and the result was murder. Shortly after 6 o'clock, MacFar- land, who had the “entree” to the of- fice ‘of The Tribune, was standing back of the counter in the business office talking to a_clerk, when Rich- ardson entered. The Jatter had not been 10 minutes in the office when MacFarland approached him, and with- out saying a word, fired the fatal shot. The wounded man, without saying a word, walked to the editorial rooms, and there collapsed and was conveyed to the Astor House. MacFariand was arested. In a statement made the day after the shooting he said that he had lived harmoniously and happily with hie wife for nine years, until she formed .the acquaintance of Richard- son and from that moment his hap- piness was destroyed. Mrs. MacFar- land left her husband on Feb. 21, 1867, and obtained a divorce in Illinois. He pleaded with her not to take the step for their children's sake, but she was infatuated with Richardson, who con- tributed to Nher support for the two years following. She fook the two children with her and the husband was put at great expense to recover his son through a habeas corpus pro- ceeding, ‘When Richardson’s condition became critizal on Nov. 30, he expressed the desire to marry Mrs. MacFarland and Teev. Henry Ward Beecher, the emi- nent minister, performed the ceremony, He died at § o'clock in the morning of Dec. 2, and was buried the following Among those who attended the funeral were Hon. Whitelaw Reid, Bdmund - Clarence Stedman, Horace Greeley, editor of The Tribune, and other distinguished men. Besides his ability as a newspaper writer, Richardson had written and published a number of volumes, most- 1y experiences in camp and fleld dur- ing the Civil War. At the bedside marriage of Richardson and Mrs. MacFarland the dying men’s pastor, Rev. O. B, Frothington, assisted, ‘and his offering up of the prayer, contain- ing these lines, was severely criti- cized: ‘May he take her image with him, and may she, bearing his name, and’ vindicating his honor, carry him about with her through all the pil- grimage that is yet before her, to strengthen her courage.” Mr. Beecher was also severely criti- clzed by the newspapers for perform- ing the marriage ceremony under the circumstances. An inquest was_held immediately after the death of Rich- ardson, and MacFarland was indicted for murder. His trial did not occur until the following April 4, but it re- quired until the 7th before a jury was secured. The.trial was continued un- til May 10. Those who gave testi- mony were _emiployes of the Tribune office who had witnessed the shooting, including Daniel Frohman, now the well-known theatrical manager, but then the advertising clerk of the new: r. Al that was necessary was'to establish the shooting and death of Mr. Richardson; and the prosecution Trested their side of the case to hear that of the defense. The defense was that at the, time he haq committed the murder Mac- Farland - was temporarily insane through worry over family affairs. fLetters were introduced written by Richardson to show the intimacy that existed between the murdered man and Mrs. MacFarland. but sent, *how- ever, after she had obtained a divorce, as well as a number from Mrs. Cal- houn, a woman more or less favorably inclined to the “free love” theory, and a most intimate friend of Mrs, Mac- Farland, Specialists gave testimony as to the mental condition of the mur- erer., * Aside from the sensational testi- mony presented, the opposing counsel were so vicious in their deportment that it was with difficulty that they Were kept from exc) & blows. The recorder cherged the jury on the morning of May 10, and after they had deliberited three hours they brought in & verdict of ‘“not gullty.” To aad to the sensation of the case. the following dey Mrs, Richardson published the story of her life in The Tribune, In which she accused Mac- Farland of deceit in their marriage, of drunkenness, brutality and neglect, and mentioned in detail many inci- dents in proof of her allegations, of how he had frequently etruck her, and in his fury, would seize and break anything within reach. The verdict was generally approved, al it was many years before this murder ceased to be a subject of discussion. ag:g; Eéis‘ THE BOSTONIA |TA|.A & CO. .40y SonT IONISTS AND VERY CLEVER DOG - a ED.

This domina- tion was established beyond question by the English defeat of the Spanish Armada, But, Dr. Usher explains, in obtaining control of the Channel, the English also found themselves domi- nating the oversea commerce of the nations of Europe, The English Channel was the needle’s eve which all ships had to thread that sailed from French, Belgium, Dutch or Ger- man ports upon the Channel ahd the North Sea. The dangers of the sea- way along the western coast of the British Isies make it impracticable even for the powerful ships of the Present da. Among essential of national strength, Dr. Usher enumerates thoze of territorial unity, or natural statc boundaries; a racial umity, or a con- sciousness ‘of the citizenry that they are one people; a religious unity, which, in the case of England, consists in a broad, workable toleration of In- dividual beliefs; patriotism, or the consciousness of the people of common aims and purposes; and a unity of ad- ministration, or a condition where an Hanger, General Jobbing (landlcrds ot orivate), reasonable.
