House Censures Chancellor for Fifty
Thousand Dollar Fee.

Jackson. Miss, Feb. 25. BY a
vote of 6S yeas to 80 nays the House
of Representatives today adopted a
resolution censuring Judge Samuel
Whitman. Jr.. of the Second Chan
Gerry Court District for his conduct
in allowing fee of $50. 900 to the
receivers and attorneys of the de-
funct Union Bank and Trust Com
pany of Meridian.
Immediately following the adop-
tion of the resolution of censure
the House passed q concurrent rego-
luton notifying Judge Whitman
that he would be addressed out of
Office. and citing him to appear be-
fore the Legislature to defend tim-
self.
Meantime, the Jones County Bar
Association adopted strong resolu-
tions commencing Chancellor Sam
Whitman. Jr as a capable. in,
corrupt and efficient judge, and
expressing its contempt for the
motives that prompted an attack
upon him that eliminated in a leg
islatiye investigation. The COM
mittee exonerated Judge Whitman.
and the Jones county lawyers state
in their resolutions that they are
anxious to express their 'unalter-
able confidence in the ability, fair

chancellor i"

Again. it IL difficult to see what moral
right Italy would have to begin an UNI
provoked attack upon neighbor still
technically her ally. Those Italians now
clamoring for a war of spoilatton
against Austria would do well to re-
member that national good faith II not
only a virtue but a most valuable po-
ltical asset as well. A wanton attack
upon Austria would be a diplomatic
bankruptcy which would ruin Italy's
credit in the alliance market of the
world. or course the allies would re-
ceive her with open arms-yet with
those mental reservations always ex-
tended the traitor, whether simple SOL
der or powerful nation.
And then. disregarding all internal or
moral considerations, is it so certain
served by the entire overthrow Of Ger
many and Austria? It is quite cleas
that Italy would expect nothing less
than Trentino, Trieste and Albania, yet
it is by no means SO clear that she
would actually get the last two. Tren-
tino. of course, would be hers; this COM
pact group of 100000 Italians just
across her border would clash with no
other allied interest. But it is by no
means impossible that Italy will get
Trentino by simply sitting still. The
loss of this bit of South Tyrol would
be no serious blow to Austria, and it
is not at all unlikely that Vienna may
agree to cede 1t as the price of italian
neutrality.

THE CAREER OF THE EMpEN.
In attacking and DESTROYING the
German cruiser Emden off the Cocoo
islands in the Indian ocean the Brit.
ish empire has done the conventional
and necessary thing. With deadly
logic 1t has put a stop to the forayo
Of the nimble Teuton. but not until
the latter had done immense dam
age to the maritime commerce OF tho
allied powers and had won q name
and fame for tntrepidity and fer
tility OF resource. Not since the de-
struction OF the confederate man-of-
war Alabama by the United States
warship Kearsrage Off the harbor of
Cherbourg, in the summer Of 1854,
mas naval warfare developed an equal
OF the Emden in romantic interest
when the difficulties surrounding the
German cruiser are taken into con-
sideration one must concede that its
performance outranks that Of the
celebrated merchant vessel DESTROYER
OF the confederacy. Operating with
out base, harried by the navies of
three nations and reported by wire
less to hostile shores. the Emden
Kept the seas for three months ana
sank twenty-five vessels worth .Sl,-
100000. During its much longer ca
reer the, Alabama sank fffty-eiRht
vessels valued at $6.50O,O00. The ends
or the two are not unalike The Ala
bama was destroyed in single combat
while the Emden went to its fate
when pounded by the heavier guns Of
lone adversary. The Australian
cruiser Sydney. That the Emden was
more than q mere commerce DESTROY
er was shown by its notable feat at
Penang. on the Malacca straits, The
redoubtable vessel had rugged up n
fourth and false smokestack ON its
deck and had flung out the Japanese
Nag. Thus disguised, it steamed into
the hostile harbor, passed under the
British guns Of the fort and pro-
ceeded to fire torpedoes that sank the
Russian cruiser Jemtchug and q
French destroyer. Then the Emden
turned about and escaped through
the straits without hurt. There were
certain qualities of pure nerve in this
accomplishment that suggests moth
ing else SO much as the heroism Of
Stephen Decatur. when in 1904 he
entered the harbor OF Tripoli and
burned the United States frigate Phil
adelphia, which had fallen into the
hands Of the Tripolitans. The Aus
tralians by destroying the Emden
have made an suspicious entry into
naval history. This IL the first en-
