Noel May Grant Extension.

The opinion is growing among mem
bers of the legislature that it will be inn
possible for the two houses to finish
work and adjourn sine die on March &c,
without leaving large amount of i'm
portant business unfinished. This has
given rise to talk of another extension
of the time limit, and the members who
have discussed the subject with Gov.
Noel say that the chief executive is will
ing to grant an extension to April 10, in
case it is shown that all business OF i'm.
portance cannot be disposed Of prior tc

To Check Officers Books.

The governor has approved the con-
current resolution providing for the ap-
pohtmcnt of competent accountant to
go over and check the books and records
OF the state officers. This resolution is
the outcome of special activity on the
part of the executive, who believes that
all offices should be checked up, and by
an outside accountant, even though it
may cost the state something to accom-
pllsh the work. Accountant Chas. J.
Moore may shortly have another assign
ment similar to Others which he has
covered III the recent past.

MABRAY ET AL FOUND GUILTY
Fourteen Sure Thing Athletic Promoters
Are Hit.

Council Bluffs, la.-John c. Mabray
and thirteen associates charged with llc-
GAL use of the mails in connection with
extensive swindles, were found guilty
BY the jury today.
Two years imprisonment and fine of
$4,000 is the maximum penalty for Ma,
bray entered by the court.
With the conviction of the defendants,
the government believes it has broken
up the most monumental swindnng com.
olnatlon that has ever operated. Statis-
tics have been gathered which show the
receipts of the combination since its or
sanlzatlon about ten years ago, to have
exceeded $5,o00,O0O.

Antl-Frat. Bill Killed.

The Russell bill, for the suppression
and adjustment of the fraternities and
sororltles at the University of Missis-
slppl and other state educational insti-
tutlons, met its Waterloo in the senate
Tuesday, after several hours debate.
The bill was defeated after Il free and
open discussion, by vote of 20 to 16,
and is, therefore, quite dead, as it is not
believed that it can survive the motion
to reconsider, which has been entered,
There has been no measure taken up
at this session that has attracted more

Very recet tly there has been clam

careful invt Stigatiun we find Ills re-

the U. S. absolutely without fUunda-

In the first place there is no queS-
tion existing today between the U. S.
and Japan that is Of such grave impOr-
lance as TO lead Them into hOStilitieS.
Again although the japanese are nat
urally a patriotic and brave people.
they are not aggressive natl ~ as their
history shows. For more than SIX
hundred years. up to the war with
China il 1894, Japan had lived in
peace with ali foreign naIiDnS. The
war with China, as was the ore ten
years later with Russia. was not an
aggressive one on her part. The world
can not reprOach her for the courage
GUS challenges on these occasions and
as is always the case in the time of

There are some marked reasons why
she entertsins this friendship toward

Those of us who are always inter
ested i'm the Democratic paI ty and as
SiSt in electing the part, nominees d.
not care to discuss. while a heated
campaign is on and an election is about
to be had. those questions upon which
close counties and districts the party
often goes down in defeat. ON account
OF too much talking just pending an
election upon matters which the party
Is not harmony, and failing to press
the party policies about which We do
al agree.
Now, since. there is no contest for
any nomination ia the party and no
immediate election that we endaDger
any party nOni nee, we feel just fed in
talking about some things in which
Democrats are interested and will cor
tinue to be interested.

passion or arouse any animOSitieS but
but il fairness and i'm friendly way

We wish it understood that we be-
lieye il voting the party ticket We
would'not say to any, that if you do
not agree with my views; vote the re-
publican ticket" Rather have the
policies of our party SO correct as to
appeal to and meet the approval Of all
patriotic citizens Of the country.
Ii there is any one principle of the
party that may be held to be i'm inn
portance above others we would Sug-
gesc this: 1.-THE wishes of a majni y
expressed upon any question, and the
results honestly asceI tanned, becomes
Iii IdiDg upon and shall be accepted by
all, until repudiated or revoked by a
maturity" Democratic representa-
tives in legislative positions oftimes
vitl ate this democratic principle. The
party has always stood for an income
tax. and Tins is an established princi-
pie of the party. Every representa-
tive IN the last legislature who voted
against the resolution tavorIng that
amendment tn the Federal Constitu-
ti0n went republican in that vote.
In this country, party organizations
are of great concern, because only in
this way important legislation is az
cOmpl:shed. Proceeding the enactm
OF most important legislation the
dominant political party has declared
upon the subject. In a new and rap
idly developing country like ours. new
conditions constar tlv arise, which re-
Quire political parli4s to make new
declarations concerning legislation to
cover such necessities. So many and
rapid are the changes that nOperSOn can
now say what may be the paramount
issue OF the Democratic party in the
next presidential campaign. So there
are new and important matters in the
state that are of sufficient gravity and
moment that the political parties
must take notice.
But when the party has not declared
upon public matter, some, democrats
may vi w the question one way and
some another. The old established
