omy of the Japanese and American ar mics, demonstrating that in those phases of military activity that are least con sidered rests not only an army's eff ciency but its existence. To shoot Is less important than to march, to shoot ac- curately less important than to survive.
 The energy of an army, or it's fighting capacity, depends primarily upon the physical vigor of the men that compose it. A body of men to fight and march and endure the hardships of war must be as physically perfect as possible. A sick man entails a greater loss than d man killed on the field so that the abi ity of an army to conquer decreases geometrically as sickness and mortality increase in excessive ratio over the number killed in battle
 In the American civil war more than four men died from preventable sickness to every one killed In the Spanish American war IA men died of disease to one on the battlefield. In the Japanese

The vaIor of Ignorance.
n Harper's Weekly.

from tdipti NtthlN-
 To judge the discipline. morale, and fighting capacity of troops their loyalty and sef-sacrifice, is possible in two ways: during active service by coward ice and deserton; in peace by disobedi- ence and desertion. The Ten Command ments of a soldiers honor are all broken in the one act of desertion By the lack of or prevalency of this military crime, are we able to judge the degree in which national militancy and antip- athy to military ideals have their effect on the soldier. The deserter is the prod uet of civil life, not of militant institu- tions.
 In Japan desertion is unknown
 In the United States during 1906 there occurred in the national army of only 60 GOO men, 62S0 assertions.
 Whenever a recognizable deterioration exists in some portion of the govern me>t instead of meeting this condition frankly and undertaking in a just and reasonable manner its renascence, the nation endeavors by substitution to evade responsibility. With war near at hand public evasion is found in the formation of shooting or rifle clubs, un- der the delusion that to shoot consti- tutes the sole duty of a soldier, and is the source of all military success. The fatal error of this belief is shown in a single comparison of the internal econ

army during the Russian war four deaths resulted from bullets to one from sickness.
 In a war between Japan and the United States, should the ratio of deaths in the American army remain the same as during the civil war, while in the Japanese forces the ratio of the Russian war should continue, the result would be that for every 10000 American so- diers killed on the field more than 40, GOO thousand would die from preventable sickness; while for every 10000 Japanese killed only 2500 would die from disease. Should the total deaths on the battle field during the war amount to 10000 for each nation, the American casualties from disease alone would be more than 100000 while the Jananese losses would amount to only 12, Jo1 Should the Span ish-American war form the true basis for comparison, then the total American losses from disease would amount to 100000 as against 12,5o0 Japanese.

TooIe's Tears.
From the Saturday Evening Mail.

From the Saturday Evening Mail.
 Sallies of almost childlike high spirits endeared the late J. L. Toole, the life long friend of Henry Irving, to all who knew him. On one occasion when the au- thor of Some Eminent Victorians' was spending day in the innocent adventures which Toole was a genius in originating, they went to the tower, where they found themselves among a party of eager sight seers in the chamber where the crown jewels are disposed.
 It was a woman who was explaining to the eager throng the history of the ar- ticles displayed. At the end of a long catalogue she said:
 And this Is Anne Boleyn's crown
 Toole, apparently suddenly overcome, burst into a flood of tears, and leaned against the wall in seemingly uncontrolla- ble grief
 "Oh, sir,' inquired the poor woman in distress, ''what Is the matter?'
 ''Nothingl Nothingi' replied Toole, in broken accents. Don't mind me, but the fact Is, have known the family so long"

Grand Jury Will Not
hdlct Mrs. Johnson
Who Harbored Sorsby

Daily News Special.
JACKSON, Miss, Mar. 12.-Rumors
which cannot yet be absolutely veri-
fled are to the effect that the Kinds
county grand jury has decided by a
close vote not to indict anybody con-
nected with the concealment of Will
liam Sorsby, who remained in the
hands of his friends in and around
his home in Clinton for three months
after he shot and killed Postoffice In
spector Chas. Fitzgerald 1t is also
rumored that the failure of some men,
bers of the inquisitorial body to vote
for an indictment resulted in some
feeling remarks being made in the
garnd jury room, and threat of one
member to resign.
While the indicting of any of Sors-
by's concealers would inevitably in
clude Mrs. R. H. Johnson, wife of a
young merchant at Clinton, who was
lifelong friend and schoolmate of
the defendant, it is claimed that the
evidence was not sufficient upon
which to base an Indictment.
This may appear strange in view of
the statement credited to Mrs. John
son to the effect that she alone was
responsible for his concealment, but
since Mrs. Johnson herself was not be
fore the grand jury, that statement
is of course not before the body, ant
she could not be forced to testify tt
facts which would incriminate her
self.
Other rumors are to the effect tina
the grand jury has decided to find N
indictments in the shortage cases dc
veloped in the auditing of the muniC
ipal books here, on the ground tha
the shortages found were due to Nclel
ical errors, and made without crimins
intent.

PROFESSOR
hERR!Ck IS
INDICATED
Will Return to Mississippi AS
Chief Etomolosist For the
Government.

JACKSON, Miss, March IAN ex-
ceptional professional vindication has
been given to Prof. Glenn w. Herrick,
for several years state entomologist
at the Mississippi Agricultural expert
ment station.
Prof. Herrick, it will be recalled,
was one of the central figures in the
celebrated controversy at the Missis-
sippi A. and M. college, and was asked
by the board of trustees to resign be-
cause he was one of the witnesses
who testified that he had no conf
dence in President ]. G. Hardy.
Immediately after Prof. Herrick's
resignation was rendered he was Of
fered a similar position with the Texas
agricultural experiment station, at a
considerable increase of salary, which
was accepted.
Announcement Is now made that
Prof. Herrick will return to Missis-
sippi as chief entomologist at the ex-
pertinent station and chronological
laboratory to be established by the
United States department of agricul-
ture in the vicinity of Greenville. The
special purpose of establishing this
station and laboratory, which will be
under the supervision of the bureau
of plant industry, is to study the Mex
lean boil weevil, a subject on which
Prof. Herrick is a recognized author
! ity, and he will have complete charge
of the station and it's work. In order
to accept the place he resigns a posi-
ton with the Texas station that pays
a salary of $4,000 per year.
1t is the theory of the bureau of
plant industry, shared in by Prof Hun
ter, chief entomologist, and Prof
Knapp, general Southern agent, that
the Mexican boil weevil will develop
new characteristics in its migrations
across the Mississippi, especially in
the low and heavily timbered por.
tions of the delta, and for this reason
it was decided to locate the expert
ment station and laboratory neal
Greenville
Prof Herrick performed some nota
bly, good work while connected with
the Mississippi agricultural experiment
station, and he has thousands oi
friends throughout the state, especial
ly among the farmers, who will bt
pleased to learn that he is to take
charge of this important work for the
federal government.

ceive the sivler service al that point.
It is extremely doubtful, however,
whether the bureau of navigation
would give its sanction to such a plan,
as a first-class battleship has never
been heretofore sent that far inland.
The Mississippians who have con-
tributed to the silver service fund
would naturally like to see the cere-
mony take place at Mississippi port
and whether the battleship could safe
ly enter the harbor at Pascagoula oil
Gulfport is a problem that will entel
into the discussion before final de
cision is reached.

LAST SPEECH
OF DEFENSE
Being MADE
Attorney General VIII Conclude
Argument For the State
Tomorrow.
Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Mar. 12.-only
a bare handful of people were In the
courtroom today when the trial OF Col.
D. B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John
Sharp, for the murder of Senator Ned
Carmack was resumed.
1t is the fifth day of the arguments
and the third day for Gen. Washington
of the defense.
81 shall not delay you very long,
said Gen. Washington, as he stepped
out in front of the jury. He then TOOK
up various men whose names have
been associated with the denfense. He
said that James C.. Bradford was a
splendid lawyer, the scion of an aristo-
cratic family, and perfect gentleman.
Tully Brown, he said, was a brave
Confederate soldier. who had saved the
! day for the Southern army on one oc-
casion, and was as great hero as
Hobson. Then he jumped on Miss
Lee, the stenographer in Bradford
| office, and said she was there ex'
changing idle gossip with another ste
nographer and couldn't hear the tele
phone bell.
Gen. Washington then started lit
| tie more acting, not quite as violent
as his limitations of the bee-martin
and the eagle yesterday, but this was
not his fault.
He called a messenger boy to help
him act the tragedy Of the shooting oi
| Carmack.
you are Carmack," he exclaimed
to the boy, as he seized the revolver
and crouched down with cleaning
eyes and bristling mustache.
Something detracted Washington's
attention, and he wandered off into
the testimony of a witness who found
an empty SHE'LL then he turned tc
carry out the part of killing Carmack
but "Carmack" had run away. the boy
having gotten tired during the lemon
stration and left the courtrcc q.
Another boy had come in and Wash
ington grabbed him.
you are Robin Cooper" he said
"Carmack sees you. Bang! bang!-
two shots.
why does he not shoot Robil
again? Because Robin has shot him
and he is dead"
Again and again Washington re-er
acted the tragedy, and again he dc
clared Robin had right to shoot Cal
mack "like a dog"
Gen. Washington said in conclusio
that if the jury acquitted the Cooper
and Sharp the people would say 1--WE
done, thou good and faithful servants.
Court then adjourned until this af
ernoon, when Judge. Anderson wi
