J.R. WALSH'S FATE
RESTS ON USE Of
RAILROAD BOOKS
Pleads Immunity on
Ground He Would Be
TeStifying Against
Himself.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-John r. Walsh's
plea of immunity will be decided Mon
day. His attorneys will press the point
closely, seeing in it the last hope of
the former banker to escape the hazard
OF being sent to the penitentiary by a
jury.
The whole matter rests on the decision
. of Judge Anderson on the question OF
admissibility Of the books of the cor
porations known as the walsh rail-
roads," as evidence against the finan-
cier.
The defense insisted that the Govern
ment has no right TO Introduce the
books of the indiana Southern and other
railroads controlled by Walsh as evil
dence against him on the ground that
the roads were owned by Walsh him
self and the Constitution says man
cannot be compelled to testify against
s5mself.
Attorneys for Walsh take the stand
that the use Of the books OF the Walsh
roads seized by the Government cannot
legally be made against the defendant,
because that would be virtually COM
polling hiIa To testify against himself.
Without this evidence it is predicted
that the efforts Of the district attorney
10 convict Walsh may be hopeless.
Bank Examiner Edward p. Moxey, the
Governments main witness, was on the
stand when the mOOJed question came
up for decision.

TIE KEATEER.

We have been having a delightful
variety of it and the effect has been
felt pleasantly by US all. The streets
have had buster air than New Ha-
yer is accustomed to in August. The
shops have been full of customers who
have been attracted there by the adj
vertising columns of The Journal and
Courier. The hum of life is heard on
every side. So much for the city side
of the weather.
Another story is being told in the
country towns where the crops are nur-
tured The earth is as dry as a bone
and gives forth its fruit with reluc-
lance. The cry is everywhere for wa
ter. In many instances the supply is so
small that the households are being put
uron short rations The egg industry
lags and slowly but surely the price
OF all garden truck goes up. Stories in
abundance are told Of the failure of
the potato crop, the corn crop and the
bran crop. Only the wealthy can afford
after while their dish of corn and
beans. So the story runs in every coun-
ty of the State.
In the good old days before the school
of high critics got in their devastating
work the churches under these circum-
stances were thrown open to the faith
full who prayed for rain, and when the
rain fell in larger quantities than was
needed the pews were again filed with
the faithful praying to shut off the
supply. Has man ceased to instruct
the great architect Of the universe or
has he concluded that it is for him to
simply wait and watch? 'Twould seem

ENCOURAGING.

At this season of the year young
lawyers need encouragement. The
courts are not in operation much, and
there is no rush of clients to the Of
fees Of young men who have managed
to break into the profession Of law and
are sometimes afraid they will be brok-
en- by it. But they have good ground
for hope and even confidence. A per-
sistent and profitable client is likely to
come in at any time. Law is necessary
to some folks and pleasing to others.
What can happen is Illustrated by
what has happened, For instance, six
ty years ago a Pennsylvania farmer
cut down chestnut tree on a neigh
boris property. Recently the heirs of
the two farmers paid the costs upon
final decision Of the suit. The total
expenses have been 100000.
Thirty thousand dollars worth of law
business over one chestnut tree is some.
And there are other and bigger law
suits Just as persistent and proper
tionately more profitable. So the young
lawyer can reasonably continue to hope
and believe that he will get his share
of the profit there is in some human
nature.

that a learned Asiatic traveller, who

was in effect that the camel and drom-
odary were not of different races, the
dromedary being to the camel as the
bloode6 horse is to the cart horse;
that this two humps were peculiar to
neither the dromedary nor the camel,
or natural to either; but that both are
always born with only one hump
which, being a mere mass of flesh, very
tender, almost as soon as the young
camel is born a piece is sometimes cut

GOOD no BE our.

It may be cheeringly significant that
the ratio of persons in prison in this
country to the population has decreas-
ed since 1890 Out Of every million
Americans there are now only 1006 in
prison, not including trust magnates,
while in 1890 there were 1,O67.
OF course it is possible that these
figures don't mean what they seem to.
1t may be that a good many people
who ought to be in prison are not
there. 1t may be that criminals are
sharper than they used to be, or that
officers Of the law are duller than they
used to be. So while it may be cheer
irgly significant that there are not as
many United States folks in prison as
there used to be, it is not entirely safe
to say that it is. It is, however, en-
tirely safe to congratulate those who
are out of prison on the fact that they
are out. Some of them are real lucky.

situation. He opposes government own
ership and declares that governmental
regulation is not inconsistent with in
divldualism,
Secretary Taft's attitude towards the
trusts is clear and forclble He would
proceed vigorously against every huge
combination of capital which uses its
great strength in restraint of trade He
would not proceed against those which
use their great strength legitimately,
because fairly and squarely conducted
he believes they add largely to the
prosperity of the country. One will
look in vain in that declaration for the
note of demagogy, The evils of the
swollen fortune do not escape him,
but they do not carry him as far as
they have carried President Roosevelt.
Upon the tariff question Mr.. Taft is a
revlsionist but not a radical one. He
advocates the party promising to I'M
dertake the task after. the next cleo
ton, when political considerations will
less affect it. Thus Mr.. Taft has at
tractively presented himself to the
country as an aspirant for the presi-
deney. Whether one agrees or not with
his conclusions one cannot but admit
that they have all of the fascination
of candor and courage.

Every eye is not on the village of

All the men who once existed in that
village have gradually departed to
America, the last, who went recently,
being the village burgomaster In the
absence of such an official the village
could have no legal existence, and so
the women, who were the only residents
left, met and elected from among them
selves an energetic young woman of
twenty-four to fill the Office of mayor.
Having taken this necessary step, they
proceeded further and elected another
woman as deputy mayor and two more
women as village councillors, thus COM
