A Sheriff Who Didn't Want a Detective to
Carry Arms.

Detective Evers, one Of the men
employed by the Law enforcement
League to assist Detective Pinson
in running the Jackson blind tigers
and other violators of the law to
their lairs, was arrested yesterday
just after he left the witness stand
in the Circuit Court room, and ent-
erred the hall to the rear.
Evers had been testifying IN the
case Of Emma Smothers, motor
ious negro woman who has peen
running blind tiger here off and
on for several years, When he
left the stand Sheriff Harding ac.
costed him with the remark, "You
are my prisoner. Evers had a
pistol "as long as your arm" one
of these new-fangled automatics
which keeps shooting as long as one
pulls the trigger, but says he had
taken the precaution to leave the
weapon in the witness room with
Mr. Pinson before taking the wit
ness stand, and did not have it on
his person when in the box.
Detectives Pinson and Evers are
both special officers of the city of
Jackson, sworn IN by Mayor Crowd.
er, and also authorized to carry
arms by Governor Noel. This was
permitted because Of the fact that
the detectives have been threatened
by certain of the alleged tigers of
the city-in the presence of the
chief of police on one occasion.
Feeling sure of his position, Mr..
Evers went to the telephone and
called up the Governor, telling him
Of the action of the sheriff. The
Governor authorized the sheriff to
return the pistol to the detective,
and it was done, but with reluct-
ance, after the sheriff had submit
ted the proposition to District At
torney McNeil-that is, as to the
right of the detective to carry a
pistol.
Mr.. Evers was released, and
with his pistol left the court house,
but under orders to show up in JUS
tice of the Peace Cade's court this
morning. Mr.. Evers was not
placed under bond to secure his ap-
pearance before the justice Of the
peace, and it may be that he will
not respond at all. In the event he
should be convicted by the justice
of the peace, the Governor would
promptly pardon him, as a matter
of course.
The arrest of the detective caused
a good deal of amusement about
the court house, and those who are
opposed to the Law Enforcement
League methods were tickled half
to death. Daily Clarion-Ledger,

Additional Resolutions.

The committee submits the fol-
lowing resolution, separate and
apart from the above:
Resolved, That we recommend
that the Legislature increase the
executive contingent fund, so that
the Governor may be better enabled
to enforce the criminal laws.
The following resolutions were
presented to the committee which
recommends their adoption:
Resolved, That while the law
breaker should always be appehend-
ed and punished, yet that state is
happiest which contains a popula-
tion who obey the laws, not because
they fear its ministers or would
escape its penalties, but because of
a deep reverence for law and order
begotten by the right instruction
in the home, the school and the
church. We therefore recommend
that questions relating to the home
duties, civic relations and indus
trial adjustment be made promi-
nent in the course of study in our
schools.
Resolved, That we recommend
that every preacher in Mississippi
will, within the next three months,
preach to each congregation that
he serves a sermon on good citizen
ship appealing to every citizen
not only to reverence and obey the
law, but to give, If need be, time,
energy and money for enforcement
of law. Also appealing to parents
to teach their children reverence
for law, and obedience to authority.

DIAMOND REMAINS \ MYSTERY

As a substance, the diamond is one
OF the mysteries of nature, one of the
despairs of science. Nobody knows
whence it came, nor how-whether
il is a spark from comets thil, or
Ia crystalized drop squeezed in some
horrible intensity of fiery convulsion
from the white-hot insurgent heat of
the earth. Nobody knows much
about it at all, except that it doesn't
"belong' to this world.
Some known black diamonds liter
ally were from the skies. They came
imbedded in meteorites cast upon
Arizona and Chilli by an unidentified
star. One does not prospect for chips
of stars. As well search for the end
OF the rainbow. Neither it is prac-
tical to hammer all sorts Of eruptive
rock and conglomerate wherever
come upon. Earthquakes or volcanic
upheavel districts are not, necessar-
lily, the most promising, for often dia-

he is the poet of tremendous emotion,

THE FLAT WHEEL DOOMED.

zone of the vexatious things of
metropolitan life is the incessant
racket and roar of surface cars,
said Prof W. G.. Corning, of Buffalo.
"To people Of nerves. and especial
ly to the ailing the din of the big
trolley cars in our cities. as they go
rushing along the CROWDED business
thoroughfares or residential sections,
is at times maddenng But this old
order is about to give way to a bet
ter condition, for the noise demon
can be circumvented and his pride
humbled by the adoption Of the new
kind of car wheel that they are now
turning out in Pittsburg. This sort
is a solid steel forged wheel, not
only four times as durable and much
lighter than the old cast steei spe-
cies, but, glorious to say, it is noise
less and guaranteed not to wear flat
It is the pounding of the rails by the
abominable flat wheel that causes the
hdeous din, which browns conversa-
ton as men traverse the city's pave
ments and makes them wonder
whether there is not an overproduc-
tion of civilization" ."-Baltimor Am

FURTHER WORK NEEDED.

Never did any country undertake
finer work than did the United States
when congress established the recla.
nation service and provided for the
watering of the arid lands of the
west. Prior to the passage of the re-
clamation act millions of acres Of
land lay unused because of the lack Of
water. The reclamation men are now
preparing this land for settlement
and they are doing their work well.
While upon his tour of inspection
Secretary Ballinger win doubtless
learn many things about irrigation
and especially governmental irriga-
ton. He will doubtless find some
things to criticise. There should be
much to praise.
As far as Umatilla county is con-
cerned the advent Of the reclamation
service marked a decided epoch in
the development of the county
Through the good work by men un-
der the department of which Secre-
tary Ballinger is the head $4,000 acres
Of former desert have been prepared
for the highest grade of agriculture.
In the course Of time the Hermiston
country will provide homes for thous-
ands of families and the project will
be one of the fertile spots Of the
northwest. So the people do not re-
gret the governments activity.
In the work in connection with the
project some mistakes may have been
made. But If there were any such
they were OF small consequence when
compared with the wonderful re-
suits now being derived from the re-
clamation of the west end. The peo-
pie Of this county only hope that 1t
will not be long until the work done
by the government upon the east side
OF the Umatilla may be followed by
the reclamation Of a far larger project
west Of the Umatilla. The reclama-
ton service has done splendid work
in this county but the work is not yet
| finished.

FORESTRY IN FRANCE.

In France as well as in America the
people have learned to know the val

ue of forest preservation. 1t is only
surprising they did not learn the les
son centuries ago. Writing upon this
subject in the last issue of Every
bodys magazine, John L. Mathews
had the following;
France will be destroyed for lack
of forests" sried one of her greatest
statesmen. and the prophecy was very
nearly fulfilled. Just fifty years have
passed since unprecedented floods in
the valley Of the Loire called the at
It,ntion of the government 20 the fact
that the Central Plateau had been al
most entirely denuded. that the fertile
soil was being destroyed, the reser-
voiring effect Of the forest lost, and
beginning made toward the creation
OF a desert in the heart of the nation.
Not only the Loire was affected; on
the Pyrenees the protection of the
Garonne was gone and in Savoy that
of the Rhone. The stripping away OF
the trees on the mountainsides of Sa-
voy had released the mountain brooks
and turned them into torrents. The
binding roots rotted away and tiny
streams became gashes. continually
widenins to chasms, Literally the
whole slope Of the mountain began to
slide down into the valley, impelled
by an unrestrained deluge of water.
The Rhone, always a swift stream,
filled its bed with moving gravel and
sand. and with unprecedented rap
idity extended its delta out four miles
into the deep water of the Mediter-
ranean. Navigation was impeded or
rendered impossible; villages which
had grown wealthy on an orderly
waterpower, awoke after a storm in
the mountains to find their brook be-
ycnd control and their streets piled
many feet deep in gravel and bowl
ders.
The prospect of the continuation
Of such calamities aroused the whole
people, The engineers, after expert
mentation. discovered that in many
places masonry dams must be erected
at short intervals, not in order to hold
up the water, but to check the des-
cent Of the streams bed itself The
reclamation is still going on; and in
many parts of France public and pri-
vate energy is being concentrated to-
day on this work
Three million acres of public forest
and fifteen millions of private woods
are now standing. but there still re-
main sixteen million acres absolutely

quered by bunchgrass before it can
be planted 10 trees France has learn
e.. her lesson. Her object now is two
fold: to preserve her rivers and noun
tains by forestry, and to provide a do
nestle supply of timber. She is
achieving both rapidly. and is finding
that her utmost efforts are repaid
promptly in actual cash returns.

THE SPIRIT OF SEATTLE.

"Cities are built where fate makes
them" said the mayor of Seattle =
few days ago in welcoming the news
papermen Of the country. There is
much truth in his statement and Sc
attle is a living illustration of his
theory-the theory that where city
is needed a city there will be.
The rapid advancement Of Seattle
has been one of the miracles of the
west. A few years ago there was
nothing but stump covered hills
where Seattle stands. Blu, with the
westward course of empire new cities
were needed and fate ordained that a
metropolis should afise on the shore
of Elliot bay. So Seattle was found,
ed and while still new town" II
has become one of the most bustling
cities of the world.
Seattle's progress has been due to
two principal things-the fact that it
is the seaport and natural commercial
center for the state of Washington
ard because it is the gateway to the
Alaska Yukon country. owing to the
natural richness of the state and to
the blessing Of adequate Transports
ton facilities Washington has ad-
vanced rapidly during the past 20
years. This has made Seattle grow.
Alaska too has helped Seattle great
~. for no other city has profited as
much as it from the golden stream
thst has come from the frozen north
during the past ten years or more.
But nature alone did not make
Seattle. Its past growth and its pres
ent progress are due as much to its
energetic, progressive citizenship as
to the city'g location. In the build
ing Of Seattle there were many prob
lens to be solved. There were noun
tains to be moved and tide lands to
be recovered. The people of Seattle
have coupled work with faith and
have accomplished wonders. They
have built a city where it was needed
and have built it regardless Of the
difficulties that were in the way.
It is a law Of nature and expressed
in the principle Of natural selection
that people develop in accordance
with their environments and the work
they have to do. In the building OF
Seattle the people have been forced
to work fast and hard. The Seattle
ties are a busy people. They are a
democratic people because among
those Who toll there is no time for
snobbishness. Far and wide Seattle
people are known for the aggressive,
enthusiastic spirit with which they are
embued.
There are some who sneer at the
Seattle spirit and say that 1t stands
for vulgarity and graft. But 1t is sim
ply the fling Of jealousy. The Sc
attic people are like the rest Of man
kind in these regards. They are cno
more vulgar nor more inclined to
graft than the rest Of the people Of
the earth. They are merely people
who have their coats off and sleeves
rolled up and are hard at work.
Their God Of Life is the Lord Of Toll
and through worshipping at his
shrine they have built a great city
where but few years ago there was
nothing but trees and brush and the
tapping Of the waves upon a vacant
beach.
