THE UNITED STATES supreme court
has recently decided an important
case in reference to claimants of cot
ton captured in the South. In the
case in question, the plaintiff, q wild
ow, was administrative OF her hus-
band, a resident Of Arkansas, who in
his lifetime had given aid to the re-
bellion.s The claimant offered proof
Of her own loyalty, but the court Of
claims rejected the evidence, and held
that her right as administrative de-
pended on the loyalty Of the dece-
dent, and as it had been shown that
he voluntarily gave aid and comfort
to the rebellion, the case must be dis
missed, and this although the cotton
was seized after the husbands death,
and while in the possession OF the
possession Of the defendant. The
United States supreme court, howev-

ed that under the act OF 1866, the
''Owner' is the person in whose hands
the property is when captured, and
that the court Of claims erred in ex-
evidence Of loyalty offered
by the widow and administrative.

ated and reelected (which we hope
is not possible] it will he the first time,
with a single exception, that a vice
president has been his own successor
in the history Of our government. The
exception vas that Of Daniel d. Tomp-

vice-president under the two terms
OF President Monroe, one of which
terms occurred in what is historically
known as the ''ers Of good ieeling"-
rom 1921 to 1926 The instance in
which a viee-president has stepped
from that position to the presidency
are six, to wit: John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, Martin Van Buren,, John
Millard Fillmore and Andrew
JOhnsOn-the three latter succeeding
the presidency on account Of the
demise Of the regularly elected ineum-

Lest winter the legislature Of Texas
voted a large subsidy to the Southern
Pacific road Of which Tom Scott is
now president. But the enactment
does not become operative until six
hundred miles Of the road, spanning
the State, are completed. When Tom
Scott discovered insurmountable OBJ
structions to the proAtsbleness of the
Union Pacific road, he quietly dis
posed of his interest in that highway
and for fifteen hundred thoused dol
lars purchased the property Of
Marshall O.. Roberts in the South
ern Pacific railway. Wintry blasts
and snow storms came, the Union Pa
cifc was vslueless, and icy barriers
closed the Mississippi from Belmont
to its source. Tom Scott was coming
over the railway map OF the country
and routes of commerce even as Ma
poleon was wont to study the map OF
Europe and lines of march OF contend
ing armies. By q single movement
he became supreme master Of the rail-
way system Of the Gulf States and had
at his disposal a choice of Southern
routes to the Pacific ocean. 1t
was aH-important to cross the Missis-
sippi at a point on the shortest line
drawn between New York city and
the eastern terminus Of the Southern
Pacific railway. An airline from
Manhattan Island TO Marshall, Texas,
crosses the Mississippi within thirty
miles of Memphis. But Memphis was
preferred to Helena because of its
perfected system Of eastern roads,
which would give immediate proita-
bleness to western routes Of travel,
and there were no sufficient induce
ments for a divergence to Helena, and
however great the difficulties Incl
dent to the construction Of a
road across the lowlands, Mem
phis energy had achieved the
task, and Tom Scott found that
the mastery Of East Tennessee ex-
the realms of his empire even
to Fort Smith and the Indian terrific
ries. The wealth of this magnificent
country becomes instantly tributary
10 his eastern roads, and the lessened
of a more southern line than
his through Memphis, would have
constituted no adequate compensation
or the loss Of roads already built.
Memphis is therefore indebted for its
election as the point Of transfer across
he Mississippi OF the wealth of a con-
of two oceans, and Of Europe
nd Asia, to the daring and precedence
f those who undertook, years ago,
be almost superhuman work OF
the IoYlands of the Missis-
ippi at Memphis. Weshould build
