The last issue of The Roanoke Lead CT has a glowing account of the way the town Is growing in population. in business and in manufacturing. One instance of the latter is the Handley Cotton Mills which began business about five years ago with 5000 splndles, and now has 18.O0O. Other industries are growing in the same way and we are glad to note it. Roanoke is situated in the midst of a splendid country and there is no better citizenship anywhere than is to be found in the city and the surrounding country. We hope it will keep on growing as it deserves to do.

From The Dallas, Texas, News we get this:
 Governor Vurdaman. having been in- terviewed on the subject of beating q convict who was backing his shoes, informed the reporter that be had noth- ing to say in regard to the matter eN- eept that the reporter was to go no further in his investigation or com ments. From which 1t would appear that in Mississippi the press and its representatives get their orders from the officials and the politicians as to what they must do or not do. In other parts of the world the press Is rather independent, for which the people daily give thanks.
 They must have q weak lot of news paper men in Mississippi if they allow the Governor to bluff them into silence over a matter that Is certainly no credit to him. Is Vardaman trying to play Roosevelt towards the press?

There is not a cleaner man in the Legislature

POPE FAVORS IRELAND.
Communications from Rome Declare
Latter Viii Be Cardinal.

Friends of Archbishop Ireland in this country
have been greatly cheered by two communications
from Rome within the last few days. The sub
stance of both is that the Archbishop OF St. Paul
will undoubtedly be created cardinal within the
year, possibly before he leaves Rome. and that his
promotion will to him not because or any
recommendations that may have been made TO the
Pope. but because Plus y has measured ireland
himself and knows his worth.
The first communication came last Saturday in
the form oS correspondence to several weekly
Roman Catholic papers throughout the country.
and the second in a brief note from American
prelate to a priest in this city. The prelate in
question has the title OF monsignor and is of
the apostolic prothonotares. He has been in
Rome for years. The priest who received the note
Is of the leading Catholic editors of the coun-
try. The note came in answer 10 direct query
inquiring about Archbishop Ireland. and reads:
Archbishop Ireland is the lion of the moment

country got greater reception from the cardinals

CANYON AND GREENE CONVICTED.


The federal government has a long arm and
a long memory. After nearly seven years John
i. Gaynor and Benjamin ID. Greene have been
convicted in the United States Circuit Court at
Savannah of participation in the frauds in the
Savannah HarbOr improvements for which Ober-
lin NJ. Carter dismissed from the army and
imprisoned for five years Doubtless there will
still ba appeals and some time will elapse be-
fore the convicts will actually begin to pay the
penalty OF their crime. But at last they stand
convicted by jury. and there is every prospect
that the verdict will stand
Tie frauds of Gaynor and Greene were in
themselves of such character that punishment
was extremely important. But vastly more i'm

issue made by these men and prove that neither
money nor time, nor distance could confer i'm
munity on those who commit offences against
the United States. These men were rich and

New York Democratic State Committee. When
indicted in 1899 they made a strenuous fight
against going TO Georgia for trial. They lost,
were held in bail to appear at Savannah. for

they afterward reimbursed their bOndsmen, and
fed to Canada. There their money enabled
them to secure influential friends and Skilful

back 10 this country and TO the trial which
has resulted in unquestionably deserved con

case and the confession of flight remove all
doubt about the guilt of the prisoners.
II is a good thing TO have them punished IT

That is not the way with the Department OF

the United States are better obeyed than those
