kNEApINe WITH The KNEES

italian bakers are all knock-kneed, )"
said a globe trotter.
''Why? Because they kneed their
bread with their knees. This enlarges
the knees and deforms them, causing
them to interfere in walking.
Il have often watched Italian bakers
at work. They kneel on the dough,
and, holding on to high support with
their hands, they prod and twist and
thump the white mixture with great
vigor.
"As they invariab bly, bathe before be-
ginning to knead, don't see anything
untidier in -kneaded than hand
kneaded bread do you? And lots of
wine is still trodden out with the bare
feet in the remoter districts of Italy
and France, so that, if you can drink
this wine without a shudder, I don't
see why you should suffer any qualms
in the eating of knee-kneaded bread"

President Roosevelt, in a letter pub
lished through the Associated Press
and printed in today's Herald, demon
strates his desire to get down into par
campaign. People generally will feel
that the president of the United States
should be above such course. No
president has ever before condescended
to wire-pulling and Logging, even for

Its UP TO CANADA NOW

Congress did well by Niagara. The
preservation of that waterfall appealed
to many SO much that the pressure on
congress to act was strong, and the
bill which it passed seems likely to ac-
complish it's purpose. It treats the Nj
agara river as a navigable stream, and
the New York state franchises there
fore as invalid, as navigable boundary
streams are exclusively under federal
control. Whatever the present power
companies are permitted to do is
only at the governments will. and the
total withdrawal is limited to an.
amount intended to keep the deteriora-
tion from proceeding further. The life
of the bill and of permits under 1t Is
three years. BY the end of that time
it is expected that there will be per-
manent treaty with Canada for the
preservation of the falls-a strip toward
the accomplishment of which the presi-
dent is directed to begin negotiations.
Mr. Roosevelt is genuinely interested in
saving the falls and will now proceed
promptly. Canada, we are sure, will
make an enlightened and generous re-

RECORD OF COURTS

A verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree, with Imprisonment for life
as the penalty, was brought In by the
jury in the first division of the criminal
court yesterday in the case of Jim Walk
err, ST., negro, charged with killing w.
D. Hill, merchant of Oxmoor, about a
year ago.
The case went to the jury during the
forenoon session of the court, and 1t was
almost o'clock when the jury made its
report. 1t was whispered around the
court house that there was never any
doubt as to the verdict so far as conf
cerned the guilt of the prisoner, but that
the delay was caused by difference Of
opinion as to the punishment to be melted
out to the prisoner.
Seldom does 1t occur that father and son
are found guilty of capital crime, as
was the result In the Walker case. The
man tried yesterday and his son were
both charged with killing the Oxmoor
merchant. The boy entered a plea OF
guilty, and admitted at his trial that he
had fired the shots, but stated that he
had been compelled to do so by his father.
The Jury found the boy guilty and ordered
that he be hanged.
Testifying in his fathers case, however,
the boy stated that he had lied previously,
and that his father had nothing to do
with the killing. The boy testified further
that his father knew nothing of the kill
ing until after it had occurred. The jury
evidently did not believe the boy. as the
father was found guilty also.
This will be sentence day in the crimi-
nal court. All prisoners convicted In the
first and second divisions will be brought
in and will be sentenced in accordance
with the verdicts and the facts in the
several cases.
| In the first division sentences will be
passed on viii Turner, charged with MUIR
der and penalty fixed at imprisonment
| for life; Jim Walker. Jr., convicted of
murder and penalty fixed at hanging. and
Jim Walker, Sf., convicted of murder and
penalty fixed at imprisonment for life.
Other sentences may be passed by the
court.
In the second division of the criminal
court quite a number of prisoners con-
victed during the week will be brought
I'M for sentence, but there are no cases OF
Importance among them, all the prisoners
being convicted of violating minor laws.

CLAIMED TO BE ACCURATE

Dallas, Tex, January 19-The SEMI
monthly bale report of the National Gin
ners association compiled today shows
that 1886 bales have been ginned from
January / to January 10, 1905, inclusive
This report shows total of 9s0zO7l
bales ginned during the season of 1906
1906 President ]. A. Taylor, who conn
piled the report stated that the cotton
territory was very generally covered and
the report, therefore, should be very ao-
curate.
Some people criticise us because We all
ways take the figures of the government
and seem to think that we ought not
to add 1t to our own. We don't claim
that we alone are correct. Inasmuch as
we are just trying to forecast what the
government report will be, 1t serves our
purpose to use their latest official figures.
al cannot account for the discrepancy
between the government reports and those
of the National Ginners association for
the reason that as usual thing the
report of the former covers one day more
than ours. Our reports are given from
the LIST to the 18th inclusive but in some
cases the glnners in making up the gov
eminent report, include the 18th In their
estimate. This accounts for the fact that
our figures are not so large some time
as are those shown in the government
report.
Mr.. Taylor was assisted In the compila-
ton Of this report by DR.. c. Combes,
president-elect of the association.
From here Mr.. Taylor leaves for New
