The case of the State against George
Horn, tried and convicted for murder
in the first degree at the last August
term of the Circuit Court, for killing
Frances Burns on Sept. 3, 1905, was
reversed and remanded for new trial
by the Supreme Court last Tuesday
Judge James ID. Fox wrote the
opinion, and reversed the cause for
errors committed by Judge killian in
an instruction given for the State, and
for admitting the dying declaration of
Burns as evidence.
This case will be set down for trial
at the August term OF the Circuit
Court but as the new law permitting
the jury to determine by its verdict, 10
murder in the first degree cases,
whether or not the defendant shall be
hanged or imprisoned for life, it is not
thought probable that Horn will ever
suffer the death penalty.

rWiIl the American people compel Theodore Roosevelt to become his own successor as president?"
 That is a specimen of the political claptyap that is appearing all over the country in republican newspapers. It carries the inference that the repub- lie is imperiiled to such a degree that only one person among the nearly ninety rillions of Americans can save 1t, Unless Theodore Roosevelt can be induced to belle his oft-repeated declaration. by clinging to the presi- dentiai helm another term. the coun- try will go to the bow-wows.
 Then let 1t go and spare the agony of knowing, throughout aonther pres ideDtial term. that the safety of the nation hangs by the hair of single life. or the whim of a single indi- yieual.
 If the notion is taking such deep root that Theodore Roosevelt is the only American ht to be president, ehen the test of trying to survive without him should not be deferred another four years. g he appears to be indispensable now to the couEtry's salvation it may be assumed that the. necessity for retaining him would be unquestionable in the closing period of another term Therefore. unless 1t Is deemed wise to make him president for life. practically. it will be better to bear the shock of losing his ser vices at the end of the present term.

.SCABBIES BROUGHT
 IN BY SHEEPMEA
Possible As a Result That Regulating Law Will Be
 Adopted.

PHOENIX, March S.-There is a strong probability that a sanitary law will be passed by the present legixa- ture regulating the handling of sheep within the territory That such a law is needed most of the prominent sheepmen are agreed.
 Last year the general dipping of sheep on account of scabbies was nee essary in this valley and 1t will again be necessary this year. but only because of an occurrence that could not be avoided under existing laws
 There is no sanitary law relating to sheep and herd of sheep was driven into the valley from the north this rear that had scabbies. As a result many others. have become infects1 sarher through travelling over tns seme trails euroute south or contac -a other ways
 IL is said that the scabbies were brought in from Utah. It is the idea of sheepmen that a law should be passed providing that sheep must be inspected belore they may be re- moved from one county to another. A law providing for such inspection was introduced in the Legislature on Saturday and has the support of the sheepmen who held a meeting here Saturday afternoon and endorsed the bill.
 The herd that brought scabbies in- to the valley this fall under inspec- tion would not have been permitted to come into the valley without dipping and there would have been conse- quently saving of thousands of dol lars to other sheepmen who must now dip their sheep, while the party own ing the infected herd would have been none the worse of, as he must now dip his animals slss.
 Although the present Jaw is entire ly inadequate, Dr. J. c. Norton, the territorial veterinarian, has reduced scabbies iuring the past two years from percentage large enough to be alarming to less than one per cent of the entire number in the territory. With an adequate law he would soon have the disease stamped out. The proposed law provides for the appoint ment of a commission to serve with Dr. Norton without pay. The law, while 1t gives protection, leaves the matter ip the hands of sheepmen, and thus prevents any unjust discr1mina- ton which the sheepmen believe would result should the matter fall into the hands of cattlemen. The sheepmen at their meeting also dis cussed sheepherding in the forest re- serves. A certain number of sheep are permitted on each reserve and the sheepmen are allotted rights on the reserves according to priority in a much similar manner to that which regulates the distribution of irrtHa- tion waters in the arid counties of the west

advance the cause of their chief. ft is possible that VardamaH has more active personal friends than Williams Their strength was shown in his race for governor four years ago, his cleo ton having been a very great sur prise to the old-time political mana gers of the state. The secret of Var damsn's success then was that he had a platform, an issue that the com mon people could understand and ap- preciate. and the great majority of the voters, especially the younger ele- ment was with him heart and soul, and the chances are that they will be again.
 There is no doubt that Vardaman rode into the governors office on the back of the negro, and he is still rid ing him at breakneck speed. The re- peal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States is one of Vardaman's hobbies, and the people of the state are with him on that proposition. There are thousands who see no hope of ever accomplishing anything on that line, who consider all efforts in
 that direction futile, and who are more than satisfied that a man of Vardaman's temperament will never be able to bring abdlt any such revo- lution as he proposes, and who really believe that he would be a more dan gerous element in the senate than either TilIman or Jeff Davis. For these and other reasons they have heretofore and will continue to vote for man of more generous views and more modest way of express ing himself.
