Another Special Message.

Washington, d. C.-".Wherein
Have Failed and Where l Have Made
Good" might well have been the title
of the message sent to congress by
the president Friday.
The paper differs in marked degree
from other communications which Mr..
Roosevelt has sent to congress in the
seven years he has been the chief
executive of the nation. For one
thing, there is not the slightest hint
of the "big stick" contained therein.
Mr.. Roosevelt writes more in philos-
optical vein as one who realizes that
his work is finished.
There Is a calm discussion of what
the administration has done, what it
has failed to do and what it might
have done had it met with less oppo-
sition. 1t is, in fact, valedctory.
The message was not written as
farewell to his friends and enemies in
congress. 1t was sent as an introduce
ton to the report of the national con-
servation commission on the condi-
ton of the national resources.
A Larger Navy.
Washington.-Exa as reported
by the committee the naval program
for the fiscal year 1910 was Friday
adopted by the house of representa-
tives and the naval appropriation bill
was passed. The opponents of the
navy increase feature of the bill found
themselves in a hopeless minority.
to1 a1t finp made in a
measure was the striking out of the
provision restoring marines to naval
vessels. The aggregate amount ap'
propriated by the bill is $4,000, 900.
AS has been the case in the past,
the increase in the naval estimate
gave rise to extended and heated de-
bate, in which members were afford
ed an opportunity to air their views
of the Japanese question. The peace
advocates were much in evidence in
opposition to such increase, while the
adherents of the proposition We're
alive at all times to every move made
to cut down the number of vessels
authorized.

The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1909-02-27

denies equal protection under the
law and standard way of legal pro-
cess.
1t was also contended that mas
much as the packing company is an
outside corporation its offense, if it
committed any, which it denied,
was committed outside the State.
1t was also urged that the trial had
been irregular in that there had
not been jury as required by the
Arkansas constitution in criminal
actions.
Justice Whites decision was
against the packing company on all
those points. He gave especial
consideration to the complaint that
when the company refused to pro-
#duee its books in obedience to an
order from the court. judgment
was given against it contrary te
the Federal constitution. Justice
White declares it was the duty oi
a corporation to live in the light Of
day and to be prepared at any time

Arkansas Antitrust Law Upheld.

Washington, Feb. 23.- In an
opinion by Justice White, the su-
preme court of the United States
today upheld the validity Of the
Arkansas anti trust law of 1905,
which provided a penalty Of from
5000 to $500 for each offense and
the forfeiture of the right to do
business in the State The decision
was handed down in the case Of
the Hammond Packing Company OF
Chicago, which it was charged had
combined with other packers to fix
the price of meats, versus the State
of Arkansas. The case originated
in the circuit court of Pulaski
county, Arkansas, where $4,000
fine was imposed.
That verdict was sustained by
the Arkanass supreme court whose
finding was today affirmed. The
TconstitutionaIity Of the law was at

The address issued by the Jack

by several distinguished and widely
known citizens of the Capital City,
is worthy Of a close reading by
every citizen who believes in the
supremacy of law and order. 1t
contains much wholesome food for
thought, and action as we'll. There
is no, good reason why the law
abiding people of any community
should fail or neglect to cooperate
with each other and the local au-
thorities in protecting themselves
against organized criminals and
the breeding places of all kinds of
crime, which menace their peace
and increase the expenses of the
courts which the tax payers must
bear.

When State COnVicts Are Wanted as

Attorney General Stirling has
Just ruled on an interesting point
in response to an inquiry from Sec

penitentiary board, in which it is
held that the penitentiary officials
can be compelled to produce con-
victs as witnesses in court. but that
in such cases the court must pro-
vide for the payment of all actual
expenses, and not for mileage of 10
cents each way. as in the case of
sheriffs. Mr.. Yerger's query was
as follows
When convict is wanted at

iff to come for the prisoner? If
the former. would the penitentiary
be entitled to collect the usual 20
cents per mile which is allowed
sheriffs?"
It is held, in addition to the
points mentioned. that unless the
prison trustees have made an order
providing for the production Of
such prisoners as witnesses. it will
be necessary for the court to issue
a writ OF habeas corpus and testifi-
canduin before the authorities will
be required to produce such prison
ers.
