HE DID 1T

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he, with chuckle, replied.
That maybe it couldn't" but he would be
one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with trace of
grin
On his face If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled
the shing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scohed, "Oh, you'll never do i
AT least no one ever has done it."
But he took eff his coat and he took off
his hat,
And the first thing he knew he'd be-
gun it,
With the lift of his chin and bit of
grin
If any doubt rose he forbid it;
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it can not
be done;
There are thousands to prophesy fail
ure;
There are thousands to point out to you,
one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with bit of grin,
Then take off your coat and 60 to it.
Just start in to sing as you tackle the
thing
That cannot be done and you'll do it.

FEAR. MORE RIOTS AT BUTTE.
Mayor Duncan Fears Miners Factions
May Make ReprisaIs-WiIl Not
Ask For Troops.

Butte, Mont-Butte was quiet after
a night Of rioting caused by internal
strife in the Western Federation of
Miners, which cost the life of one man,
injuries, to four others and a heavy
property loss.
Mayor Duncan, however, would not
commit himself as to turmoil being at
an end. He fears reprisals between
the factions, but said he would not ask
for troops, as he believes the sheriff
should make that request. The sher-
iff, however, has taken no action to-
ward that end
Citizens looked to Gov. Stewart at
Helena for a solution of the trouble.
Charles H. Moyer. president Of the
federation, and others who were driv-
en- from the miners hall under fire,
appealed to the governor at Helena
for state control at Butte.
The miners worked as usual, and so
far the operating companies have not
been brought into the controversy. 1t
was officially announced the mine
owners have taken no part in the fac

MANY CHALLENGES
IN BILBO TRIAL
STATE HAS TWO AND DEFENSE
ONE PEREMPToRY At
TACK LEFT.
ELEVEN TALESMEN IN BOX
Judge Tsat Denies Application of Bill
bo's Counsel to Question TaIesmen
as to Their Feelings Toward
Lieutenant-Governor.


After tedious and tiresome day in
the Kinds county circuit court, which
was devoted entirely to the task OF
securing jury of twelve competent
men to pass on the facts and evidence
in the case of T. G. Bilbo, lieutenant
governor, charged with bribery, the
situation at adjournment time was
practically the same as twenty-four
hours before. That is, there were just
eleven men in the jury box, with quite
a number of waiting talesmen to be
drawn upon in order to fill out.
There was this difference, however,
and that was, that whereas the defense
had exercised no peremptory chal-
Ienges, but had succeeded in getting
two men challenged for cause, now
the list of peremptory challenges is
reduced to one. while the state has
two left.
Up to the time of adjournment, six
ty-six veniremen had been examined,
and the jury box twice filled to the
satisfaction of the state. and twice ten
dered to the defendant. Several of
those seated, after considerable ques-
tioning by Attorneys Henry and Cas-
sidy, were challenged for cause.
The trial was characterized by sew
eral tilts between court and counsel.
Counsel for the defense fought every
inch of ground and took advantage Of
every resource at law favorable to
their client.
This was demonstrated when a
strong effort was made to secure the
challenge from the bench of five jur-
ors who had passed the court, the
prosecution, and the still further acid
test of questions of the defendants
counsel, put through the court, to show
whether or not their minds are free
of absolute and fixed bias.
Judge Teat denied an application
from Judge Henry of counsel for Mr..
Bilbo, to be allowed to question these
talesmen directly, as to their feeling
towards his client. The court stated
that similar request had been made
by the state to determine the extent
of bias against the prosecution, which
had been disallowed. The court was
determined to play fair all round and
would permit no such direct political
questions.
81 want counsel to understand that
1t is the purpose to try this case on
the law and evidence, and not from
its political phases, and no such ques-
tions will he allowed" declared the
judge.
Ultimately the defense was COM
PEELED to use five challenges, at one
swoop, and the vacant seats had not
been filled when adjournment time
was reached.

cation will be forwarded in a short
time to seed growers. Letters from
leading seed houses are coming in
daily indicating a willingness to join
in such a movement and expressing a
belief that such an organization can
accomplish great good.
Practically every other state in the
union has a corn growers association,
and since Mississippi is so rapidly be-

states she should certainly have a
well organized association. At pres

RECIPROCITY IN LAND OWNER
ERsHiP Is PLAN PROPOSED
BY JAPAN TO U. s.
NEW TREATY IS ABANDONED
Secretary Bryan Says Japanese Note
Of june 10 Reopenine Controversy
and the American Reply Will
Be Published.

Washington.-The protest OF Japan
against the California alien land law,
brought conspicuously before the pub
lie again by publication Of correspond
ence between the Washington and To-
kyo governments, was discussed with
interest here in official and diplomatic
circles. Secretary Bryan said the Jap
anese note of June 10 last, which re-
opened the subject. would be made
public with the American reply within
few days.
1t is known that Japan, abandoning
tho idea Of negotiating a new treaty
to guarantee the property rights of
its citizens, has asked for a reply to
It's note of August 26 last, in which
the United States was pressed to stop
the Obnoxious determinations re-
sulting from the California legislation.
There is but one remedy" this
note said, "and the imperial govern
ment is unable to escape the conclu-
sion that the duty Of applying that
remedy devolves solely on the gov
ernment of the United States"
One phase of the negotiations dis
closed in the correspondence which at
tracted particular interest was said to
suggest the possibility Of an issue en-
tirely new in the history of the United
States. In italics in connection with
the promise by the Japanese govern
ment to grand land ownership to
Americans appeared the words ire
serving for the future, however, the
right of maintaining the condition Of
reciprocity with respect to the sepa-
rate states
This, it was pointed out, appeared
to be a distinct reservation by the
Japanese government of the right to
retaliate directly on the Californians
by singing them out among American
citizens for exclusion from the right
to possess real property in Japan.

jury in the case of Mrs. N. K. McClan-.

verdict awarding the plaintiff dam
ages in the sum of $4,000. The suit
was for $4,000, which amount was
asked Of the courts by Mrs. McClana-

was run over and killed by train of

brew, the man killed, was put off of

serting that he not only did not have
ticket, but that he was in an intoxi-
Gated condition and was guilty of bois-
ferrous conduct. The plaintiff intro
duced evidence to show that Mr.. Kille-
brew did have ticket and asserted
that his death was directly due to the
fact that he was elected from the train
on which he was passenger. In his
drunken condition, it was charged. he
wandered down the track after the
election and fell asleep on the rails.
The case was an unusually hard
fought one by attorneys on both sides,
