Still After Hollis Assassin.

All Durham is still stirred on
account of the terrible assassina-
ton Of Engineer Holt. Every eff
fort is being made to get the gull
ty parties. It is said that big re-
wards are now being offered and
that the Governor has been asked
to offer a reward of $500. The
Brotherhood is coming across with
a reward. The Southern will as
sist in it. There will certainly be
a reward from the Governor and
today petitions are being sent by
the railroad men to the city and
county officials asking that a re-
wards be offered. It is certain
that the man or men who catch
the murderer of Fred Holt will
get more than a $1,000 reward.
There has been a story that the
city is filled with detectives. That
is true in a way. Of course there
are detectives at work on the job.
Detective Woodall was at work on
the job soon after the murder.
There is no doubt but that there
are special men here looking into
the matter. So far as known no
one has sent detectives here, al
though it is known that big re-
wards are being prepared to be Of
fered for the arrest and conviction
of the murderer, and that alone
might attract people to Durham.

A Subject Which Needs Agitation.

That the American criminal law
has serious defects, and that if the
American people wish to rule they
must Thoroughly, nationally and
honestly recast the criminal law"
we're asserted by Attorney Gener-
al G. J. Bonaparte, in an address
before the National Municipal
League at Pittsburg a few days
ago. He declared that the gravest
and least excusable deficiency of
the criminal law is found in it's
endless delays. and added that if
the people demand prompt and
unquestloning obedience to the
peoples laws. and give to this de-
mand an ample sanction in swift,
sure and grievous retribution for
all rebellious to those laws, the
peoples rule will be real.
"Why need there be a f~oretaste
of eternity" he asked, "between
arrest and Indictment; another
between indictment and trial, and
yet another between trial and &C.
tual punishment" This he an.
swered by declaring thatit is part
ly "because the bench and profes.
sional opinion among the bar toll
crate all kinds of dilatory, frivo'
lous and often ridiculous proceed
ings on the part of INSCRIPTIONS
counsel, intended to cheat justice
of her plain due; partly because
our lawmakers afford almost in
finite facilities for review of Judi
cial action to the criminal, al
though being stingy in allowing
them to the government; but
mainly because our laws show lit.
tie sensesof the value to society of
a speedy administration of JUS
tice."

How far Should a Lawyer go?

We do not know how much lati-
tude the ethical code gives lawyers
in the conduct of cases. But it
does seem that in a criminal case
when a mans guilt is clearly es-
tablished and twelve honest and
honorable men say that the de-
PENDANT is guilty. that it should
pass at that. But when an attor-
ney takes. advantage of every tech
nicality to clear a guilty man he
is an accessory after the fact and
a very undesirable citizen.-Spar-
tanburg, S. c., Citizen.

Some Go Ties,

A church somewhere, no mat.
ter where, prints Oh the back of
little sllps-programmes denoting
the order of service-these words:
II will not worry.
81 will not be afraid,
II will not give way to anger.
II will. not yield to envy, ieal-

81 will be kind to every man,

81 will trust in God and bravely
face the future"

Frightened to Death.

Three-year-old Fife Rossman
and her sister Mary were playing
in the back yard with their little
brother Charlie. They heard their
father call to them and ran to
meet him, calling childish greet
ings as they ran.
Right in EAie's way stood her
fathers horse, hidden in the dusk.
She was almost upon him before
she saw him looming up before
her. and, as she tried to pass him
the great hoof was raised. Call
Ing on her sister to save her she
fell headlong at her papa's feet as
he entered the gate.
The father raised the child in
his arms and bore her into her
mothers room and her on the
bed, while the doctors came. I'm
til midnight they worked with
her, when she passed away as
peacefully as if she were failing
into childish slumber.
Then it was found that she was
unmarked. She had been un-
touched by the horses hoofs and
had Just been frightened more
than the little heart already taxed
by her play, could bear.-San An

Does He Believe it? :

must always be the most impor-
tant influence for the uplifting of
the Filipino people," The man
who made that statement has
spent years in the Philippine Is.
lands, and has hac abundant OPP
portunity to know much upllft the
Roman Catholic church has given
those islands during the four ZEN
turtles of the dominance. Not
only that, but the man who made
that statement heard the sworn
testimony of score Of witnesses
given before the commission ap.
pointed by our government to n
vestigate ecclesiastical conditions
in the Philippines. He helped 20
conduct the protracted examina-
ton of these witnesses. He
questioned them touching the
morals of the frlars and the
priests, and he heard these wit
nesses swear. day by day, with
monotonous uniformity Of testi-
mony that these religious leaders
Of the Roman Catholic church IN
Philippine Islands were degener-
ate, degraded and profligate to a
degree that makes one blush for
human nature.
The distinguished gentleman
who made the remaIk which
stands ~ the head of the article
transmitted the testimony taken
by the commission, with his re.
port as Secretary of War, to the
home government. In response
to a resolution Of the Senate,
President Mckinley laid this tes'
tlmony before the Senate. 1t was
printed in Document No. 100 of
the 56th Congress, second session.
We shall have to refer our readers
to this document. The testi-
mony, dealing with the morals OF
~friars aud priests, is too indecent
to print. When one of the wit
nesses, SuraLo Laktaw, was asked
in regard to his knowledge of the
friars, he said: II think l am in a
position to know more about them
than any other Filipino, because
through my position as teacher
was brought in constant contact
with them" To the question,
"What dc you know as of the
morality Of the friars?' he repli'
ed: II would prefer to answer the
question by sayingsthat the'detail'
Of the immortality of the friars are
so base and so indecent that in
stead of s%mirching the friars ]
would smirch myself by relating
them" Other witnesses, includ'
ing lawyers and physicians, die
not hold themselves under sucl
restraint, and consequently gave
} to the commission a volume of in
formation which, if testimonJ
taken under oath can prove any
thing, proves that if the Filipino
, people are never uplifted unit
} the Roman Catholic church up
lifts them through the leadership
of her profigate priests and friars
all eternity will be too short
for the completion of the task,
The information given to the
commission was heard by the dis
t%lngulshed gentleman who made
the remark On which we are com.
menting; it all passed through
his hands; and we may safely say
that there are few, if any persons
in the United States who are bet.
ter acquainted than he with the
loathsome condition of morals
which prevailed in the Roman
Catholic church in the Philippines
when those islands camel nto our
possession. Does he beli,e We
what he says, or was he talking
for political effect?-Presbyte,

Probably the cheapest and best

some time ago. has returned to
WinslOW. Mr. Gain has been
located at San Francisco during
the past year, but business be-
came so quiet out there that he
decided to try Arizona again.
Mr.. Gain says, while business in
San Francisco is very dull just
now, everything points to re-
sumption of work in all branches
of industry, and he thinks that
ere summer is fairly upon them,
the people of California will have
entirely forgotten the present de-

LOCHL NEWS


Winslow during the past week,
has been treated to wintry wea-
ther such as is not usually en-
countered here at this time OF
year. Iii fact, more snow has
fallen this week than is CuStO-
mary for whole season in this
town. While the points east and
west of us have a fairly good
supply OF the "beautlful' each
year, Winslow generally gets OFT
with a very light fall of snow.
However, snow commenced fall
ing early Monday morning, and
all points from Seligman to Ad-
amana reported snow, the fall lat
Flagstaff, Williams and Ash
Fork being about 10 inches while
but l inch fell at Winslow. The
thermometer at Bellemont went
down to 10 degrees below zero,
but 20 above was the coolest. ii
registered here. But by noon on
Monday the snow had nearly dis
appeared at Winslow. The real
storm, however, came Wednes-
day morning Reports show that
the storm Was general from
blackberry, Ariz., to Albuquer-
que, n. M. 1t struck WrnslOW
about 10 a. M, being ushered IN
with a dense cloudiness and Sc
we're wind storm, somewhat re-
sembling q miniature cyclone III
Kansas. The snow soon began
to fall and continued during the
greater part of the day and early
Thursday morning. The ther-
mometer dropped to Is above
but did not stay there any length
of time. While the storm caused

that resort. 1t became so vic.

law for train and engine men and
the 9-hour law for operators and
dispatcherS. The commission
has further decided that their
power to extend is very limited,
being only applicable to that
portion of the law relating to
te]egraphers and train dispatch
ers, and then "only in partlcu-
lar case and for a good cause, "
after "a full hearing" The deci-
sion was rendered on the 18th
inst. The next day the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, the st.
Louis and San Francisco, The
Southern Railway and the Sea-
board Air Line made separate
applications for an extention OF
time. The commission has set
February 9th as the date for
hearing arguments in these par
ticular cases. 1t is expected that
the various other roads will also
make an application for time ex-
tension and it is probably that
all arguments will be heard on
the same date. From the tenor
of the report it would seem that
the 16-hour law as applied to
train and enginemen would be

test on the part of the railroads
