MAY HEAD CHINESE REPUBLIC

DR.. Sun Vat Sen. the Chinese re-
former. who was banished from the
empire not long ago and is now In
the United States. Is believed to be
slated for the presidency of the re-
publican government when the Chi
nese revolutionists can take time
enough from fighting to organize.
There Is said to be standing offer
from the Pekin government of $4,000
for the body Of Sun Yat Sen, dead or
alive.
Each succeeding day has added to
the gravity Of the situation In China.
The imperial government. having dis
covered that the usual methods used
in uprisings throughout the empire are
entirely inadequate in this case, has
gotten down to the business OF real
warfare. But the misjudgment Of the
situation, and the consequent delay
in real repressive measures. have CIV
en- the revolutionists an opportunity
to become better organized, draw
greater forces to its standard and

Would Build Mill Here. -.

Chas. F. Lyons, formerly of Jas
per, who recently sold his Touring
mill at Lakeside to Ross Baird,
was here Tuesday sizing up the
town as a prospective location for
a new Touring mill. He wants
the city to put up bonus of $500
and he will then put in a mill to
cost from $4,000 to $4,000. He says
he found the sentiment very favor
able and will return very shortly
to see if the project can be put
through.
Jasper was a good location for a
Touring mill in times past, and
should be even better now. 1t is
certainly to be hoped we can get
Mr. Lyons to build his mill here,
for nobody questions the fact that
such a mill is needed. The old
mill that burned down several
years ago was one of the best pat
ronized in these parts and drew
trade to town from comparatively
distant points, points to which our
drawing powers don't quite

less than a month was not considered
bright today. Two important princi-
pies have been acknowledged by the
defense.
TO OPPOSE PREJUDICED.
In the first place, any veniremen who
have fixed prejudices against labor
unions will find themselves subject to
challenge for cause, and if not allow
ed by the court, then they will be sub
ject to peremptory challenge later.
Again, any man who has handled dyn-
amite, or who on investigation of his
own accord, has reached an immovable
opinion that the Times building was
destroyed by dynamite. likewise will
be considered by the defense as hostile
20 its cause.
PROSECUTION AGAINST GAS.
The prosecution in its turn let it be
known it viii just as vigorously op-
pose any taIesmen being sworn as jur-
ors who have fixed their ideas that the
disaster was caused by gas explosion.

"blackest chapter in all the tyranny

part:
HOW CLAPP VIEWS 1T.
'Nnow, whether you believe in the
recall or not, ! think you will agree
with me that it is not for you to say
whether the people of Arizona shall
have the recall. We had this question
up in congress. We said the people
of Arizona must vote on the question
again and whatever way they voted,
they would be allowed to come into
the union. And, my friends, the pres
ident of the United States vetoed that
resolution and one was adopted pro-
yiding that the people of Arizona must
vote again and must vote against the
recall, though they can put it into their
constitution after admission.
"A fine lesson to teach people On
the Threshold of this admission TO
this union. What, think you, would
say the disembodied spirits of those
men whose bones lie mouldering on
the battlefields Of the republic, if,
looking down, they could realize that
the price of admission to this union
was a qualification of the electorate
of the individual state?
Z want to say that this is the black
est chapter in ali tyranny outside OF
the absolute despotism Of an unbridled
king. And remember, whom the gods
would destroy, they first made mad. -

were Walter Clyde Jones, progressive
candidate for governor of Illinois;
