basis for extradition. To patch up
this loop-hole, more time is needed.
Thaw broke away from his lawyers
last night to frame telegram to a

(Thaw) had telegraphed through

THE PRESIDENT AT MOBILE.

President Wilson was in Mobile Monday and
spoke before the Southern Commercial Congress in
session there. Instead of speaking on the subject
announced-Rural Credits-his speech rather might
be said to be an address to L~atin-America. Like
all of Mr.. Wilson's speeches, it was distinguished
by its depth and clarity and ~loftiness of tone.
Some think the broad principle enunciated in
Mobile by the president will be henceforth the
fixed American policy and the concomitant of the
Monroe Doctrine. This country will never again
seek one additional foot of territory by conquest
ITO the other countries of this hemisphere we
must prove ourselves their friends and champions,
upon terms of equality and honor. and we must
show ourselves friends by comprehending theis
best interest whether it squares with our interest
or not. The United States must regard it as one
of the duties of friendship to see that from no quar-
ter are material interests made superior to human
liberty and the opportunity of nations"
The press of the country for the most part ap-
prove the presidents position. Many contrast it
to the dollar diplomacy" of the last decade. Pa
pers speak of President Wilson as being the leader
of the thought of the country. He is more than
that he is the leader of, the national conscience.
And in his province he is a leader of the thought
of the civilized world.

CHANCELLOR

No one in Noxubee county where Chancellor
Kincannon was born and bred has ever believed
any of the charges or insinuations made against
him in connection with the investigation of the
University of Mississippi of which he is chancellor.
The charges were not seriously considered here,
and the prompt exoneration of him by the Legisla-
tive committee in 1912 was nothing more than was
expected. However, along with all other state in
stitutions, the University came in for an examina-
ton by a committee elected at the special session
last summer and a revival of these old charges was
attempted, and this committee made its investiga-
ton. 1t reported the books and accounts correct,
and its report to the Legislature will be compliment
.tary to the University and its chancellor.
The Chancellor was in Macon last week. He
stated that he did not desire to go into any extern
sive discussion of these Investigations. The ac-
countants and committees had come and been CIV
en- full and free access to all records and all infor-
nation desired and their findings were sufficient
vindication. Something had been attempted to be
made out of various suits against the University.
There are no just obligations of the University
unpaid" said Mr.. Kincannon. ''These suits are
results Of my refusal to accede to unjust demands
against the institution my refusal to pay contrac-
tors who had not complied with their contracts"
AS to ex-prof. Deister's charges that he had brought
paid foot-ba players from other states to put on
the Mississippi team, Mr.. Kincannon's common
a smile.
The Chancellor says that the University at pres
ent is in excellent condition and the harmony in
the student body earnest and good. He did not
say it, but if politics would let the University at
Oxford alone, the state would have an admirable
Institution of learning. But as long as it is the
foot-ball of politics its own efficiency is matter of
secondary Importance.

THE NJ. & o. WRECK.

The awful wreck on the Mobile & Ohio more
than week ago in which a score or more soldiers
were killed was most distressing. In one respect
the feeling aroused differed from that generally
arising from such accidents, and that is that a
great deal of sympathy was felt and expressed for
the railroad.
The admirable record made by the Mobile &
Ohio for more than half a century of not having a
single fatal accident to any Of its passengers in all
that time was one that the road and its manage
ment were justly proud of. Aside from any regret
for material reasons and distress over the loss of
life, the railroad feels keenly this breaking of it's
wonderful record.
So uniformly and invariably has the road looked
after the safety of its passengers, so long has that
policy been the very creed of the road and its en-
ployes that it is difficult to believe that the accident
could have reasonably been ~foreseen and avoided.
That the Mobile & Ohio has some place in the
esteem and regard of the country along its line has
been brought out by this sad accident, and this
should to some extent alleviate its distress.

CHANCELLOR MCCOOL

The session of our chancery court just ended
again shows the splendid capacity for the careful
and orderly expedition of court business possessed
by our chancellor which has always distinguished
his administration of his Office. In the four days
of the session orders and DEGREES in over two hun.
dred causes were considered and entered. Of
course most of these were uncontested and many
merely pro forma, but still to pass upon the cor
~rectness and ~propriety and legality of so many de-
crees required ~clearness of tn ought, readiness of
knowledge and quick comprehension. If the work
were slurred over, it would be a different matter,
but the record of Chancellor McCool ranks high for
thoroughness and accuracy, and few of his decisions
have been reversed on appeal.
1t is not only a matter of great satisfaction to
the bar that the lawyers can get their cases heard,
but is of great value to lltigants that they have not
their rights and interests long held up in untried
litigation.

UNDERWOOD.

He is %tifty-one years of age and looks younger.
When his present term in the House expires, in
1915, he will have served there for twenty years,
representing the Birmingham District. AS Chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee of the last
Congress and of this. his position has been a far
more powerful one than that of the Speaker. his
committee, instead of the Speaker, now having the
appointment of all the other committees of the
House. With the election of a Democratic House
three years ago, he had the responsibility of so
guiding its action as to make victory possible in
the Presidential campaign following. He has fixed
political principles which he refuses to yield even
for a cause that has his sympathy. For example,
he refused to vote for the match phosphorus bill.
believing that it is an unwise use of the taxing
power to destroy an industry. He allowed himself
to be used by the reactionary party in some of the
Southern states in their effort to defeat the nomi-
nation of Woodrow Wilson, and it is not to his
credit that Ryan furnished more than half his cam-
have done for any likely candidate after Woodrow
Wilson had declined his aid. But there has not
been the slightest suspicion of Underwood's dis.
loyalty to the nominee of his party or to the Presi-
dent of the United States. With his fortune in.
vested in the iron and steel industry, he insisted on
sweeping reductions in those schedules in the Tar
if Bill. He defied the efforts of the Steel Trust to
defeat his candidacy for congress by pcstponing
the erection of it's projected plants of enormous
size in Birmingham, and there has not been a
whisper of scandal about his personal management
of the Tariff Bill which bears his name. With the
signing of the bill by the President, he felt that he
had reached the climax of his long term of service
in the House.

DEMOCRATIC ACHIEVEMENT.

The record of accomplishment made and being
made by the democratic congress and president is
splendid so far and full of promise for the future.
The tariff bill lately passed and approved is by
many competent authorities adjudged to be the
best tariff bill this country has ever experienced.
Certainly it surpasses by far any of this generation
or any hoped for two years ago.
The income. tax feature of the bill is regarded
as especially democratic. 1t taxes the well-to-do
rather than the poor, and an income tax is the fair.
est of all taxation. This tax will supply the loss
of revenue from the lowering of tariff duties.
At present the president and congress are press
ing hard the passage of a currency bill. That our
monetary system is faulty, clumsy and Anticipated
has long been recognized. 1t seems now that the
Glass-Owen bill with some notifications will be
passed before December, and another great service
to the country performed by the present admins
tration.
At the next regular session beginning in Deem
Der the matter of trust regulation will be taken up,
and still another great national economic condl-
ton wisely apd thoroughly dealt with. With the
prestige and confidence of the nation gained by the
passage of the tariff and currency bills, the demo-
Gratis can justly hope to ge. through congress a good
antitrust law, correcting the errors and supplying
the deficiencies of the Sherman law.
Conservation of our resources and other less i'm
portant questions are on the program and will be
dealt with in time.
The handling Of the Mexican question by the
president. however much criticised by some Mexi-
cans and some of our own people, has met with
general approval and confidence, and has command
ed the respect and concurrence of all the chancel-
leries of Europe.
In advocating the nomination of Mr.. Wilson a
year ago the BEACON said that if he was elected
his administration would be epoch-making. That
seems to be a true prophecy.
