TAFT DEPENDS WHITLEY.
Declares st. Louis Man Sincere and
Criticisms Certainly Premature
Former Mexico Boy Still Con-
tinues to Hold His Own.
No. 2.

Washington, March 14.-President
Roosevelt has received several cables
from influential citizens at Shanghai
testifying to the benefits already ac-
complished by the new United States
court there. Although the court be-
gan its sitting In January, with for
mer Attorney General L. r. Willy, Of
the Philippines, as presiding Judge,
many important reforms are already
reported. 1t is understood that, de-
spite occasional criticism, the ad.
ministration indorses Judge Willy.
Secretary Taft, when interviewed on
the action Of the court in debarring
certain resident American attorneys
from practicing before it, commended
the vigorous campaign inaugurated by
the new tribunal. While the court
exercising jurisdiction over American
residents In Shanghai and other
Chinese seaports was established in
accordance with an act Of congress
and various treaties with China, and
is therefore under direct supervision
of the state department. Judge VIII
fly was appointed at the instance of
Secretary, with whom he was asso-
ciated in the Philippines.
Nobody conversant with the work
Judge Willy did at Manila, and with
similar demorallzing conditions that
existed In Shanghai before his advent,
can question the sincerity OF the man, !"
declared Secretary Taft. "Only his
flrst-class record in the Philippines,
added to very strong Endorsement from
the federal judiciary in Missouri,
prompted his appointment to the
Shanghai court, and criticisms at this
time are certainly premature. :"

Thirty Days.

New York, March 12.-In the Bay
onne police court Recorder Lazarus
permitted Mrs. Mary Rickly OF 222

and she considered that long enough
"You know more about the case
than l do, Mrs. Rickly, so suppose l
let you take my place and pronounce
sentence on your husband" said the
recorder.
"That will suit me, said Mrs. Rich
ley.
Rickley promised to stop drinking

GOVERNOR FOLK has a right to bs
proud OF the administration measures
which have been adopted by the leeisla-
ture. Probably no administration has
been more successful In securing the
enactment OF laws for thelbest interests
OF the people In Missouri. Nearly all
OF the measures recommended in the
Democratic platform and supported
by the administration have become
laws: Among the most prominent we
notice the following;
The two cent passenger fare bill.
General state primary law.
Anti-lobby law.
Race track gambling law.
The law making the running Of
bucketshops felony.
Child labor law.
Antitrust law.
AntI-rebate law.
Law favorfng school supervision.
Eight months school law.
Demand for convention TO amend
Federal Constitution.
Anti-discriminatIon law.
Law establishing banking depart
ment.
Law favorable to the Jamestown
Exposition.
Pure food law.
Amendment favoring new capitol.
Law favoring the initiative and re-
ferendum and quite number OF other
measures which viii prove OF great be-
nefit to Missouri.
We hear 1t claimed In certain quar-
ters that the Governor has been "turn-
ed down by the legislature in all |
measures he favored As matter
OF fact no Governor In the history OF |
the State has been more fortunate In
having laws he favored adopted than |
has Governor Folk.
