President Taft, the Great Executive
Under the above caption, the Deu-
yer News, Democratic paper
sometimes pays the following
tribute to President Taft:
1t is possible by this time to make
pretty fair appraisement Of Presi-
dent Taft. Not final one, of course;
but one that will do to steer by until
further observations can be taken.
And that appraisement, taken
through Democratic spectacles, 10
decidedly favorable to our president.
He has the first qualifications Of =
public official In free country. He
insists on obeying the law. He may
not like 1t, but he heetis 1t; and he
sees that his subordinates heed 1t
likewise. He has taken to heart the
words Of the preamble to the state
constitution of Massachusetts: ITO
the end that this may be gOvern-
ment Of laws. and not OF men," After
n riotous misgovernment Of men, In
which the constitution WAS more
frequently used as door mat than
as guide book, it il refreshing to
see the old document once more in q
place of honor.
The News admires President Taft's
adherence to the law, even when
some Of the objects The News has at
heart checked thereby. In the re-
clamation service, for example, q
''iiberal construction" of the Law
would doubtless have got some pro-
jects finished quicker than they can
be finished now. But The News does
not think that even reclamation is a
sufficient excuse for lawlessness.
President Taft has In some ways
remarkably judicial turn Of mind.
His handling of the CLAWS charges
against Ballinger is good enough
proof Of this, though not the only
proof. Aud the president likewise
sees with judges eye the weak point
in our present judicial system. its
frightful cost and heart-breaking de-
lay. That vision, and the plain state
ment OF it, are worth much.
In a word, President Taft Is ap-
proving himself n remarkable routine
administrator; and, after all, most OF
our business is routine.
Asa worker OF reforms-tarif re-
forms, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Taft
is not success. We shall get no
epoch-making changes from him.
Even the reform In the Judiciary,
which he rightly reckons one of the
most important of all, he will not put
through. He will not touch the tariff
again unless forced to 1t. But he will
give a good, sensible. judicial, law
abiding administration; and that, at
the present iuncture, is worth much.

MARSHALL NEY'S SON
DR.. E. M. C. Neyman, Of
Salem, Indiana.

Salem, Ind, Jan. 4.--Dr. E. M. C
Neyman, an old and quite historic
celebrity, died at his home, Saltillo,
Washington, county, of old age.
Had he lived until February 28 next
he would have been 101 years old.
He was born in Paris, France, 1908.
DR.. Neyman claimed to be the son
of Napoleon's most trusted general,
Marshall Ney. He came to this
country in 1912, where he has since
resided. and was engaged in the ac.
tive practice of his profession until
some ten years ago when he retired.
While he was extremely reticent
about most matters connected with
his history. he confirmed in many
particular the Investigations made
by the Rev. DR.. James Weston, of
North Carolina, as to the identity
of Peter Ney, a school teacher, who
was generally believed to have been
the famous French Field Marshal,
who had been saved from execution
by the Duke of Wellington and al
lowed TO escape to America.
It, is known that DR.. Neyman had
preserved many documents which he
regarded as Of great value and which
he guarded with the utmost jealousy
He said, at times, that these would
be made public after his death and
that they would disclose historic da
ia of immense value and Importance
Among other things it is believed
that the authorship of life of Ma
poleon Bonaparte, a small volume
printed az Salem, Ind, in 1918, by
Patrick L Booth, will come to light

PROVED roo REALISTIC.
Arrested On Charge Of Incit-
ing Riots.

Richmond, Va, Jan. A. AFTER an
experience Of one month at the head
of company Of players in The
Night Riders Of Tennessee. /" Mr. and
Mrs. r H. Reynolds have returned
to their home in Lynchburg, Mrs.
Reynolds having pawned her dia-
monds and jewelry to get bail for
herself and husband for their ap-
pearance in Tennessee to answer
certain charges lodged against them.
The other members of the company
are scattered in various towns be-
tween Tennessee and Virginia, no.
tably Charlotte and Greensboro, N.
&C., where they are endeavoring to
get sufficient funds to complete their
homeward trip.
Reynolds said that the play was
founded upon Investigations made
by himself at Reelfoot Lake, Tenn,
and that the production was so rea-
listic that the manager of the COM
pany was arrested five times in that
State, charged with melting riots.
These arrests were at Johnson City.
Greenville and Newport. He said
that the company received rough
house" treatment at each of its Tenn
essee engagements. At one of the
places the feeling was so intense
that charge Of highway robbery
was trumped up against member
of the company.

"In the care Of the producer the prin-

sufficient gas. Poke holes are provided
so that every part Of the fire can be

NIGHT RIDER CASES
Will Probably Go to the Jury
By Noon Thursday.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. 6.-Ihe
arguments on behalf of the defense
in tte night rider cases began forty
minutes after court opened, when
Judge Swiggart concluded his plea
for the state.
The case should go to the jury
about noon Thursday, when Attor-
ney General Caldwell has concluded
the final argument for the prosecu-
ton.
Judge Moore was followed yester-
day afternoon by Judge w. C. Cald-
well, who for eighteen years was a
justice of the supreme court of Ten
nessee, and who ranks very high at
the state bar.
Judge Caldwell said he appeared
for the state without fee and despite
i'll health because he was born in
Ooion county, because he felt that a
stigma had been placed upon his
birthplace and because he knew and
loved the young man who had been
murdered. The judges argument
was mastery marshaling of the
testimony and he clused with a de-
mand for the death penalty.
