II will seem like old times when a.
Democratic majority in the House OF
Representatives votes 10 stop all battle
ship construction. The decision reached
in the House caucus marks a return TO
the delusion of thirty years ago that
navy is a pure extravagance and is a
melancholy measure OF the Democratic

The little fuss over the Acting Presi-
dency sf Panama again reveals an un-
fortunate feature Of the constitution Of
that republic. It is forbidden to any
man to be elected President who in the
six months preceding the election has
exercised the Presidential function. rho
intention was to prevent the immediate
reelection Of n President. But a way
has been found 10 evade 1t. All the
President has TO do is to take a leave
of absence for the six months preceding
the election and turn all his functiors
over to the First Designate. That leaves
him perfectly eligible for election, while
it makes the First Designate. who is
likely TO be n rival candidate, Ineligible
"A result which was never intended by
the makers OF the constitution. Thus
far no serious trouble has come of Z,
but much i'll feeling has arisen, and II
might be the part Of discretion to amend
tho constitution so az 10 cause II to cf-
feet the purpose which was designed.

COTTON IS 12 DAYS
 LATE IN TALLAPOOSA

Alexander City. June 15.- Special )-The cotton crop in most parts of Tallapoosa county is not satisfactory. having been planted very late under adverse circum- stances. The crop is now very small and much of it not having been worked out but the first time. There is much grass also.
 The recent cold winds have also been very damaging to the little plant, mulch of 1t in the very young state having been blown and chilled Into the "crimped or possum ear stage" It will take a num- Der of days with very favorable weather for the plant to overcome this state.
 An abundant rain has just fallen throughout this county on the evening of the 18th, and if other sharp cold winds do not follow this rain will be very ad- vantageous to it's recovery, but this rain will add still more vigor to the already heavy coat of grass and weeds.
 The crop in this county is easily 12 days late.
 Investigation also shows that a horde Of caterDillers in many sections of this county are eating the leaves off the plant, and if these are not stopped the plant cannot long exist

ALMOST CRACKED

Chicago. June 15.-Olaf Magnes, ss years old, at his own request began serving one months sentence in the workhouse last night as a refugee from the turbulent scenes Of the approaching republican na- tional convention. He told Municipal Judge Hymes that his mind had almost cracked by the stress of the situation. and he asked to be lodged in jail for eternity. He told the court that he was afraid some of the men at the Coliseum would put him out of the way.
 "A life sentence is a good long time" Judge Hymes advised him. How would fl be if w. sent you to the Bridewell until the convention is over?''
 Magnes objected on the ground the time was too short, but finally compromised on . months imprisonment.

vestors are putting their money more heavily every day into southern secur- ties. The railroads are alive to the chances and are beginning to do their share towards inviting immigration and innumerable development enter prises, which will all contribute to en- larged tonnage.
 There is really a possibility that the Congress money trust committee will yet take a hack at the great mystery of the Panama canal scandal, and locate the recipients of the $30,000.000 In money that found its way into the pockets of the small group of American schemers who put up the Job and got away with the swag. A real sure enough inquiry would prove the sensa- ton of the decade.

Lake, on a charge of attempted arson,
was upheld by the state supreme court
in a decision handed down
Dumas, who is now out on bail, will
have to face the Beltrami district
court for sentence. 1t was said that
a special term of court might be
called.
The Beltrami county physician was
arrested last June after Mike Davis
and Martin Behan, yeggmen, were sur
prised by detectives from the state
fire marshals department attempting
to rob the safe and blow up a general
store at Puposky, MINI. Davis es-
capped and Behan was caught He
turned states evidence and declared
DR.. Dumas was the originator of the
plot.
Their testimony was to the effect
that DR.. Dumas had approached R. e.
Smith, owner of the store, some
months previously and suggested to
him an increase in his insurance and
the employment of men who would
burn the place under the guise of blow
ing the safe. A figure of $500 was
named as the price for the work. This
was to go to DR.. Dumas.
