million dollars for the purpose of
extending its line to the gulf.
The line now reaches from Nat

as. With two of the best seaports

That Chas r. Smith had
right to kill A. E. Laurent on the
depot platform in Artesia, if he
had an irresistible impulse to do
so, even though he knew right
from wrong at the time, is the
suggestion of error made to Il
supreme court by his attorney, Mr..
Witherspoon, of Meridian. Then
it remains for fellow to prove on
ly an irresistible impulse to kill if
Mr. Witherspoon's construction of
the law is correct. While we have
no personal interest in this case,
we do hope the supreme court
will render its final decision solely
on the evidence and merits of the
case

in Cuba were admirable. In Japan he won golden favor by his
diplomatic visit. What will William Fl. Taft be as President?
Frequently a man who is a most capable subordinate proves to be
less capable as a chief. 1t was observed in our Civil War that
generals who as corps commanders performed brilliant service lost
credit for brlliancy when promoted TO the command of the army.
There was a long list of these failures before Grant, and Grant
was a conspicuous failure as President. 1t is vet to be seen what
Kind of a President William H. Taft is, AT the close of the special
session he lost much of his prestige by signing a tariff bill that
violated his own and his party promises. 1t was thought by many
of his admirers that he showed weakness at critical times when
a word from him on behalf of the people might have paralyzed
the influences of the combined Hobbies. so conspicuous while the
tariff bill was in the Senate. The mildness, not TO say evasiyeness.
of the annual message was disappointing to many. But then
William Fl. Taft has been President only about nine months. and
has three years and three months to serve out his term. Some
times a chief executive comes into Office like a lamb and goes out
like a lion.

valuable paper of yesterday, IN

charged with Staying her husband
was Illogical, and that if the jul US
recommendation of the defendant
to the mercy of the court was In
spired by any doubt in the minds
of the jurors, 1.-THE woman should
not have been convicted"

papers of the evidence at the trial
carefully, and 1 did not find any,
thing to warrant u verdict of guilty.
The detectives did not prove that
Mrs. Wilhelm visited her nome in
High street after she left 1t the
day the dead body of her husoand
was iound in the mouse, or hat ne

against her, and they should not
have relied, az evidently they did,
upon the testimony of n who had

Southern people, but a war between States. He brought out some
striking facts. a large number of generals, including one lieu

Confederate side. On the other hand, many of the Northern leaders
were of Southern birth, such as Lincoln, Farragut and Thomas

day, and to my why he replied:
See me. I start out from my resi-

ness in most of the rear and side
streets OF your city," Very truly

OUR BANK RESOURCES
FAR UP IN

fetal resources OF all banking corporations, State and national.
foot up twentyone billion dollars. This report is made up, too,
of returns prior to deposits of the profits of the farmers from the
seasons crops. The annual report by the secretary of agriculture
estimated the total value of the years crops at about nine billion
dollars. Much of this was paid out for labor and materials and
seed, etc. but several millions were net profit, and a large part oil
the money is yet to be received and deposited in banks. The con-
dition of the banks is the index Of the peoples prosperity and
could there be a more favorable one?
