FAIR PLAY is WANTED.

The Marion county ballot fraud
cases are 10 be tried at Salem In
February. The trial will be before
Judge Burnett In the circuit court.
The reputation OF that Judge is OF the
highest character as = man. III he
commits an error OF judgment IL will
not he because he can be influenced
In any manner. That cannot be
doubted. Then all that IS needed 10
satisfy the demands OF justice In so
important public matter as the pur-
ity Of the elections Is fair play with
the people on all the preliminary de-
tails,
A new jury list Of 400 names IS 10
be made up by the county court from
the tax rolls. Out OF this will be
drawn the list OF names for the grand
and trial jury at the February term.
H. Is assumed all this will be fair.
1t Is the highest interest OF defend
ants that the utmost fairness be OBJ
served Ia every detail OF the trial. Men
OF prominence in society, standing
high ln their profession, In the lodges,
aud In politics are under indictment
for the graVest political crime that eau
be committed against free people. IL
Is 10 their interest that the trials be
conducted absolutely above suspicion,
then verdict OF not guilty means an
exOneratlon aud a removal OF all
stigma. A perfectly fair trial, free
from all possible talnt or even an In
situation OF unfair methods or Jury
liking Of any character whateYer, is
the only kind OF trial that can AFFORD
defendants that restoration OF charac-
ter which their standing 10 the COM
munity should cause them 20 be the
tirst 20 demand.
All public ofllclals connected with
the preliminaries leading up 10 the
trial OF The ballot box frauds owe IL to
the defendants and 10 the public that
every precauIlon be taken 10 ensure
fair play.

complete re-coaling. This. in naval
parlance, would ":starve" Spanish ships
before long. The only relief possible for
this dangerous condition was junction
with GOLFERS from the other side. A good
collier carries from 1000 to 1000 tons OF
coal and two or three Of them could COM
pletely recoal Admiral Cervera's feet
Whether the Spanish would succeed in
accomplishing this was still in doubt and
it was doubt on which large results de-
pended. There had been unofficial reports
stating that British GOLFERS were sighted
off Martinique and also og the Venezue-
Ian coast and reports from London had
stated that Spain took the precaution OF
buying and shipping large quantities CT
British coal before the declaration of war
But there had been no official confirma-
ton that these GOLFERS had made juno
ton with Admiral Cervera's feet and the
naval authorities were inclined to the be-
lief that the Spanish commander was
dangerously near a coal famine.
If this condition existed or was likely
to arise in the near future, Admiral Ger
vera's position was critical, even though
he did not meet the American ships. He
would be much in the position Of Com
modore Dewey after being warned away

miral would be in the Caribbean sea but
he would be unable to get out of ii. Not
less than 1000 tons of coal would be re-
quired to take him safely back to Spain
Of the Cape Verde Islands.
A prominent naval official said today
that the naval strategy consisted mainly
in knowing just the condition Of the enc
my's feet. It was for this reason that
the condition of the coal supply on the
Spanish ships was looked upon as vital,
not only in foreshadowing any agrees
sive tactics Admiral Cervera might be
emboldened to adopt, but also in disclos-
ing his chances of escaping from this side
of the water, now that he has got here.

Der, an article was going the rounds a
short time since to the effect that Miss
Emily Waite of the Chickasaw nation.
was creating quite a disturbance at
Stockholm by claiming to be lawfully en-
titled to the throne of Sweden. So noted
did this case become that the consul at
Stockholm took the matter up with the
state department at Washington, through
which it was referred to Indian Agent
Wisdom, it being discovered that Miss
Waite is a member of the Chickasaw
tribe Of Indians. We were fully inform

but said nothing of it. through consider

In this vicinity.
"As the lady on Wednesday returned
to herr home at Paul's Valley, and the
matter is now mad public, we feel it is
best for all concerned that the facts in

Later she went to Rome and then TO

the action above indicated.

NJ. Doucet said he regretted the mis-
understanding which had arisen. He said:
A microscopic minority, through mere
sentimental snobbishness, has rendered
fashionable an absurd sympathy for
Spain, which l by no means share. Quite
apart from any question of interest. which
naturally TO a certain extent explains
my attitude, 1 personally feel a great
leaning toward Americans, VINO are so
laborious, so firm of will and whose So
Gals conditions admit equality for ALL.
and who hove created an aristocracv of
successful workers which is not surnessel
by the aristocracy of name. therefore
assert my entire sympathy with Ameri-
cans and deplore what is going on at the
present moment. though unfortunately 1
do not see how it is to be remedied."
NJ Worth said: 1T is just as though
you had two children suffering from
typhoid and people came TO ask you which
you woul drather see die. On whichever
side their interests lie, French merchants
ought 10 remain neutral. If France has
more direct business interests with Amer
lea she also has interests Of another kind
by which a large amount of French capital
is engaged in Spain"
What is your opinion respecting the
attitude OF the French papers which do
not appear - share your views and which
have created such an unfortunate stir
in America"
