ETHEL LENEvE ACQUITTED.

1t may not be singular that Ethel
Leneve has been acquitted Of completely
in the murder of Belle Einore, the wife
Of DR. Crippen, the dentist convicted ii
London, England, of murder and sen
fenced to be hanged.
In the liberation of this woman is evi-
denced that the Englishman on the jury
did do what an American jury would
have done.
t appears there was no evidence. that
Ethel Leneve aided or abetted in the
murder, nor that she had knowledge OF
the crime.
# Ethel Leneve did have knowledge
of the crime, she exercised the prudence
of discretion which has operated TO her
benefit
While the woman's statement may be
accepted as given, it would seem incred-
ible that such a woman could fave be-
come without the least suspicion the inn
mediate associate of a man whose wife
had disappeared mysterious1y Not on
" was Miss Leneve close in her com
panionship with DR.. Crippen, but at his
bidding she unsexed herself in male at
tire when fleeing from England on the
steamship on which they were appre-
hended before reaching Canada
To every explanation of her remark
able and extraordinary conduct Mis-,
Leneves excuse is that she had beer
hypnotized by DR.. Crippeti.
It may be well to draw the mantle Of
charity over Miss Leneve's misconduct
since she may profit from her expert
ence.
There is a moral in this case which il

PANAMA EXPOSITION
Reasons for Defeating the Proposed
Tax Are Being Multiplied from Every
Section of the State.

The Louisiana Democrat, published
Alexandria, says: The completion and
opening of the canal to the commerce of
the world may stimulate activity in all
kinds of commercial enterprises and
thereby benefit all sections of the coun-
try, but the holding of an exposition in
con1memoration of such an event bene-
fits only the place where it is held and
is distinct disadvantage to the rest of
the country. For instance, such an ex-
position will benefit the hotels, land
sharks, railroads, barroons, etc, of New
Orleans, but will take money from the
rest of the State which ought to remain
at home. As New Orleans is to be the
principal beneficiary, it should raise the
money to financeIthe scheme

A CRY OF SALOONS.

In urging his opposition to the tax
for the proposed Panama Exposition,
Charles Tanner of Rapides parish says
Who will be the beneficiary of this ex-
position? Mainly saloons, restaurants
and hotels, and it will cause another
rush to the city and in a year after it is
over they will saddle the State with an
other debt to take care of the fools that
went there to get temporary job. She
is city that loves to be in debt The
State itself is awfully in debt We owe
all the fevee bonds which have been is
sued and unless we are more careful we
will be bankrupt.
The only line Of railroad which will
carry passengers through the State is
the Texas and Pacific The other roads
will carry more people through Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Texas, and do them
more good than they will Louisiana, II
you wanted an enigrant to come into
the State you would not want to bring
him through Mississippi, Alabama and
Texas and drop him in New Orleans
You want to bring him to good high
land, such as we have in Rapides, Avoy-
elles and the central and northern parts
of the State.
# New Orleans wants the exposition
LET her pay for it, but do not Saddle my
children with an everlasting debt.

RAILWAY CLERKS
Accept the Situation Philosophica1ly and
Manful1y.

In a statement given from Meridian,
Miss, in which the clerks through the
committee accept their defeat manfully
and thank those who aided them, says ::
"The fight is over.
"We thought that we were right, and
do yet.
"We have no apologies for our con-
duct, and we have done nothing in otr
campaign for which we are ashamed.
1--WE used the weapons which we law
fully could, and the principle for which
we fought remains the same even
though the fortunes of war are against
us.
For thirty-one days few hundred
men and their friends have fought a
railroad system and its allied interests
in the southeast railroad territory 1t
has been intinated to lis in meetings
with the railroad officials that our de.
mands were not altogether unreason-
able, and that no great difficulty would
be encountered in adjusting our differ
ences.
II bis, it seems to us, is an admission
that there was merit in our demands,
and though negotiations were afterward
broken off, it was based upon other
grounds than the reasonableness of the
original demands of the clerks. But as
far as we are concerned, the merits of
the controversy are beside the mark.
We have lost and we do not whine. We
Used the weapons we had honorably,
fearlessly and for what we believe to
be right
Since the beginning of the strike we
have not had a single desertion from
our ranks. No man who walked out
has broken his pledge of fea1ty to his
order OF has done one thing which
sfnacks of disloyalty or violated obliga-
ton.
''What the result of the strike will be
we do not know. We trust that it will
result in good. Like causes invariably
produce like results. Possibly the strike
has served TO bring into bold relief
causes which have heretofore been OBJ
scure, but potent for strife. Being bet
ter seen they can be the more readily
removed, so that in the future neither
clerical forces nor railroad officials will
decide in favor Of strikes A prophet
once gathered wisdom from his donkey.
1t is our desire that all personal ami
mosities engendered by the strike should
be buried with the hatchet.
To the many friends who in our
time of need gave us their sympathy,
friendship and counsel, we wish to bear
our perpetual thanks and appreciation.
It is needless to say that they have our
good will and our friendship They did
US what good that they could.
"The railroad has our scalp, but we
solaee ourself that we have few
strands of hair at our waist line, also.
We tried to fight c1eanly and honorably,
and we propose to accept our defeat in
the same way.

DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE
Predicted in the Empire State by the
New York Herald.

New York, Oct 25-From the re-
ports gathered by the New York Herr
AIDS special correspondents in their
tour Of the State. the inference must be
made that something which now threat
ems to become a Democratic landslide is
on its way They indicate an almost un-
precedented detection from the Repub-
1ican ranks in all but a few agricultural
counties where the farmers are receiy-
ing high prices for their products and
are consequently prosperous and con-
tented
The revolt against Colonel Rs sevelt
appears to be even more tnaf'<ed in
Oneida county, the home of Vice Pres
ident Sherman, than in almost any other
upstate section. The dispatch from the
Herald's correspondent says the most Of
the leading manufacturers of the coufity
win vote for Mr.. Dix. Conservative es-
Inmates place the Republican plurality
in Oneida at from 1900 to 1000, which
is less than half the normal plurality.

EX-GOVERNOR GAMBLER
Was Gallant Soldier in Civil War and
Twice Elected Chief Executive of His
State-In Life Insurance Business.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 26.-Allen Daniel
Gambler, twice Governor Of Georgia,
died at his home here this morning after
an extended illness. Governor Gambler
was 10 years old, and was born in Au-
rora, Lumpkin county. His earliest an
cestor in America was Daniel Gambler,
who en1igrated from ireland and served
in the Revolutionary war as a colonel in
the American army. Governor Gambler
was. graduated from Mercer College IN
1850 and became school teacher at
Jonesboro.
In 1861 he entered the Confederate
army as a private and rose to the rank
of colonel. He was twice wounded, los
ing an eye. At the close of hostilitiese
he resumed teaching at Jonesboro and
|sNas successfully elected mayor, repre-
sentative and senator in the State Leg
islature, and congressman. He later be
came Secretary of State for Georgia
which position he resigned to become 9
candidate on the Democratic ticket If
1858. Soon after his second term a.
Governor he was commissioned to com
| pile the colonial. revolutionary and Con
federate records of Georgia. Since 100.
he had been president of the Mutua
Life Insurance Association His wifi,
and nine children survive him.

END OF THE CLERKS STRIKE.


New Orleans Picayune Oct 26: It is
gratifying to learn that the strike Of the
railroad clerks has come to an end. and
these important classes of workers will
return, for the most part, to the places
they abandoned, after losing some weeks
wages.
The disadvantage under which these
clerks labored in organizing a strike was
that while they perform important func-
tions, they can not in the strictest sense
Of the term be considered skilled labor
ers. Any intelligent clerk or office mai
can soon learn the details of the duties
of the freight clerk, while to be able to
operate the locomotive of railroad
train or to manage the train itself re-
quires not only an aptitude for the bus
iness, but many details of practical man
agernent III the midst of many risks and
dangers, which can be learned only BY
a long course of experience. Such IS
the difference between professional
knowledge, which is learned in schools
and trade skill, which must be learned
IN the shop.
A strike Of the engineers and train
men could stop the operations Of every
railroad IN any nation, while clerks arc
accountants. particularly in a dull sea
son, could be found to carry on the of
flee and station business.
The clerical staff of a railroad oight
to be well paid. because much depends
on the accuracy of their work, and tite,
should be put above the. necessity ot
striking if they are not.

Santa Fe Railroad Commanded to
Cut Rates on Coal

The Interstate Commerce com.
mission has at last come to the
relief of the people. and ordered
the Santa Fe railroad to reduce it's
rates on coal as much as 81 per ton
in some cases. Slowly but surely
the Santa Fe is being made to toe
the mark, and since the death Of
Senator Tom Platt of New York
last week, it is quite probable that
the Wells. Fargo gang of pirates
will be also called on the carpet.
The new rate on coal from the
Walsenburg district to points in
New Mexico. Kansas and Texas
and the Santa Fe and Pecos sys.
tens varies from 1925 a ton up.
according to distance. Prior to
the decision 1t was a combination
of local rates through Amarillo to
points in these states. For exam.
Pile. the road charged *11.6O ton
for hauling coal from Walsenburg
district to Roswell, N NJ, while
Canon City operators only paid
$4.35 for the same haul.
