The State and tbeIndividuaI.

The state may make 1t easy for a
man to acquire a small holding, but it
cannot give the man the energy, the
industry, which are necessary II the
boon Is to be an abiding blessing to
him. The state may help men over
bad times, but it cannot give men the
moral character which enables those
who possess it by their energy, de-
termination, industry, to place them
selves beyond the reach Of temporary
disaster.-London Strand Magazine.

of the blocdhounds which on Tues
day traced the negroes movements in
the vicinity of the murder of Miss
Pelly, had been largely corroborated
by several witnesses they declared.
They also asserted that the gag used
on the girl had been practically iden-
tilted as one of the handkerchiefs
made for James by the woman with
whom he boarded.
The only ground for holding Alex
ander was declared to be the dying
confession of James. None of the Of
ficials would acknowledge that any
direct evidence of this alleged con-
fession had come to him. .
Inadequate Police Protection.
In an effort to clear up the murder
case, the police searched the house
frequented by James and Alexander
for the missing money, hand bag and
bracelets of the murdered girl. They
found nothing. Blame for the riot
conditions in general is ascribed by
the officials to an inadequate police
force and the. fact that many men

ing took the form Of a symposium.
The subject of consideration was
the necessity for the increased sums
of money with which to handle the
grain crops Of the northwest. He
expressed a desire for Information re-
garding fluctuations and was told that
from thirty to forty million dollars
are sent west annually from Min
neapolis and st. Paul during the crop
moving period. The further fact was
developed that ordinarily this money
does not return until the next year.
5 The fact was brought out that af-
ter the panic in 1907 there was spec.

turned. Mr.. Decker. who presided,
stated that It was withheld until the
bankers of Minneapolis and st. Paul
made an appeal 10 their bretheren

ed type of woman, born liar, and
as one whose whole life, before and
after the crime justified the pre-
sumption of her guilt. He develop
ed the theory that after the rich
and generous lover, Chounard, aban-

realized that she was almost at the
end of her tether and said when she
