Foss for President.

The action Of the democratic state
committee in coming out for the pres
idential nomination Of Gov. Foss,
even in advance OF the decision OF
possible presidential primary, is
wholly to be expected. The only
practical question which it might
have raised was whether these lead
ers could not have exacted more from
him. in the way OF patronage for
their organization, had they remain
ed longer in a non-committal atti-
tude but they probably need no in
struction in such practical themes.
II has long been evident that Mr.
Foss would figure in the presidential
race. Even if his Interior object is to
capture the vice-presidenial nomina-
ton, the only practical way to do
that-so long as the head OF the tic
ket remains unsettled-is by osten-
sibly seeking that larger honor. He
might thereby carry enough votes in
to convention for trading purposes,
to force the presidential candidate
whose success depended on some
such an acquisition OF strength as
this to turn over to Mr.. Foss for the
second place the necessary support
These are the old devices OF practi-
cal politics.
Such an arrangement Is more like
" to materialiZe II a western man
heads the tickets than though the hon
or goes to Woodrow Wilson. Grant
and Colfax came from the adjoining
states OF Illinois and Indiana, bu.
their central position tolerated a de
gree OF neighboriness that would
hardly be permitted on the eastern
seaboard.
Hence Mr.. Foss must be regarded
as real factor In national politics
He escapes all annoying entangle
ments OF the Bryan era by not hav
ing been in the party at that troubl
Gus period. tie is much like a border
state man who has grown up since
the war. Mr.. Foss has ample funds

The first of these big en- |nes reached Selma Monday afternoon |nd the second Tuesday. They are the |ype of engines known as tbattleships , Ind their tonnage is about twice as great s that of the engines which have been in |se on the division.
 The freight business of the Mobile di- |son of the Southern railway has grown ito enormous proportions during the past |yo years. This division now handles |early as much freight as any other di- |sion of the system and better equip bents for this tonnage was necessary. The new freight engines which are being
 sed on through freights between Br- bingham and Selma are so large that the
 eight of their smokestacks had to be
 lortened a foot or more so they could
 b through the bridges on the road be-
 ween the two cities. It was with diff |culty and apprehension that the first
 l. the new engines was squeezed into he roundhouse of the Southern shop here.

 WOULD PRACTICE

Atlanta. May 23.-Mrs. Minnie Anderson Hale of Atlanta, the graduate lawyer, who has headed a movement toward admitting women to practice law In this state, has given up her fight because women in Georgia do not want the right to practice

which were found upon the woman, she was his sister, Nellie Mullen.
 From the story heard here the Chicago and Los Angeles detectives are looking for man named Dillon they suspect of the crime. Since the recognition of the body by the brother of the dead woman the de- teetives of those two cities have dropped every other clue. It has been intimated that the woman and her broher were for mer residents of this city. but If so the fact cannot be established.
 About three weeks ago, or perhaps eight or 10 days after the discovery of the mur- der, man giving his name as Dillon vs- ited Selma. He called at the several printing and newspaper offices seeking work and stated he was from Texas and California. The Chicago detectives are ex- pected to reach Selma Thursday to make their investigation.
