Extended Clemency.


New Orleans, March 11.-Hearing
of the pet ton for pardon of w liam
Rabb, cow cted gambler, who was
fined $1,000, with an alternative Of
twelve months In jail, began Wednes-
day afternoon before the State Board

Rabb. who is said to be head Of sn
association to furnish legal counsel
for members compromised by the
ay-Shattuck law, has been granted
despite twice by Governor Hall, set
ting forward the date when he must
pay his fine or go to ia !. The hrst
respite allowed him to carry the case
all the way to the Supreme Court,
and the second has now perm tied
his case to come before the Board of
Pardons.
Rabb was fined by Judges Chret.en
and Baker for operating a barroom
on the steamer Belle of the Bends
without proper license. Through
various appeals Rabb finally got his
case before the United States SUI
preme Court, which sustained the
lower court, and left the Board Of
Pardons as Rabb's only chance of
escape from the penalty fixed.

Enthusiasm Following Depression

Every day witnesses an improve ment in the cotton situation. In the first place the farmers now see that the price of cotton is not going down to cents as had been predicted by
 not few men connected with the cot ton trade. After selling around ' cents it declined to 61s cents, but it is now back to cents again, and it will probably be bringing 8 cents be- fore the, end of the year.
 Those farmers who have to sell their
 cotton at price that yields little or
 no profit are ready to start out for
 the next crop year as grain growers
 and stock raisers. There will without
 much doubt be a comparatively small
 acreage planted in cotton in 1915; and
 there is today real enthusiasm in Ala bama over the diversified crop out look.

 oped extensively in Alabama's cotton belt as well as in the rich grass coun- ties of the Tennessee valley. As fine beef cattle can be raised in central Alabama as in any part of the United States, but those who are just start ing into cattle raising must have pa- tience and perseverance, for several years are required in bringing this branch of husbandry up to the com mercial stage. In four or five years, however, Alabama beef will be sold in large volume, and the Alabama farmers will make more money on this product than they have made on cot
 ton, even when cotton was high.
 In view of the fine results shown
 wherever modern scientific farming
 has been practiced it would be strange, indeed, if the tillers of the soil were
 not aroused to a high pitch of buoy
 ancy in looking to the future.

THROWING THE CHAKRI ,r,, fha Strand

In front of the mausoleum of a holy saint-Mohsmed Ghous-a fair is held annually on the outskirts of Gwalior town about the middle of the rainy season The most noticeable feature of the fair is the chakri throw. A chakri Is a piece of iron something like spindle, over which long piece of string or thread is rolled. The player throws high into the air the iron chakri Literally, a roll.1 hold ing one end of the string in his hand, and gives it a swing and jerk in such a clever manner that the chakri, on coming down, rolls up the thread again on it. self and is caught in the hands of the thrower. The art has been dexterously rracticed by a class of people for ages rs. st ,and some members are so renowned that they cut good figure at the scene. It is most interesting to watch the throw CT fling. the chalSri up high, catch 1t in his hands on return and continue send ing it up again and again till the rope .tecomes as high as 70 feet above the ground. There is absolutely no spring or lever attachment in the chakri. Nab to is the champion thrower.

AREAS OF PEACE
le Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Sweden. Norway, Denmark, Holland, Spain and Switzerland are about all that is left of Europe not at war or menaced by war F'rance, Russia, Austria. Montenegro. Servia, Ger many, Great Britain, Belgium and Turkey are fighting; Portugal is ready to fight; Greece, Italy, Roumania and Bulgaria are in danger of being drawn into the war at any moment
 In Asia Japan is belligerent India. theoretically an independent empire under the British raj, has sent her troops to the battleields of Europe. Persia, see ing chance to throw vh the Russian yoke, may be persuaded to make a for nal declaration of war.
 Africa, land of colonies is dotted oyer with little war areas. Boer is fighting Boer. Elsewhere Germans are contend ing against Belgans, British, French and Portuguese. As practically the whole of Africa belongs to the fighting nations, the African continent may be said to be in a state of war.
 Such plain presentations of fact are use. full to bring a realization of the fact that the eastern hemisphere is ablaze and ripe for ruin. No other war has even ap- preached this in magnitude or in it's nos abilities. it's certainties, of misery and horror. Yet the western hemisphere re. mains untouched. The occident is dis tcrbed and distressed, but it is in no real danger. Danger could come only through rash and vicious counsels
 To the far west, to the new world. is given the task of keeping alight the pea. con of civilization. The old world ba s already brought crashing down the fabric reared by the enlightenment of past cen. tlries When, exhausted and sick. tn. older lands shall begin the work os re. construction, it will be to the west they must look for inspiration and guidance. Europe's and Asia's areas of peace are small and unimportant From then, cal, come no hope. The great area of peace which means the area of civilization. is held aloof by the Atlantic and the paejfic from the greater areas of hatred and savagery.
