A Great Change Noted.

Such things cannot happen under present conditions. In those days there was not a single southern prohibition vote, nor were there any prohibition votes from the Democratic 5trongholds of the large cities. Now fl a vote is to be recorded 1t would Dc found that half of the Democrats from the south ern states would vote for prohibition. A mighty change has taken place In the last two decades in the sentiment of the south on the liquor question. l do not believe that 1t would get two thirds vote in the house, but it would get a mighty large vote when men had to go on record.

DELINQUENT LIST
WILL BE LARGE

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 31.-Today is
the last day for the payment of poll
taxes in Mississippi. and the names
of parties who fail to settle before the
offices of tax collectors close tonight
will go on the delinquent list.
Despite the fact that congressional
elections are to be held this year, re-
ports from over the state show that
the percentage of delinquencies is larg-
er than ever before, in some counties
amounting to more than seventy per
cent of those assessed. j..
Nor are the delinquiencies confined
to negroes who notoriously neglect
this obligation. Thousands Of white
men who have at times exercised the
right Of suffrage have neglected to pay
their poll tax this year, and only a
relatively small percentage of them
will make settlement today.

7heo. Lacey, Embezzler of
$4,000, IS Behind Bars

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 31.-With
his lips sealed and his future entrusted
to attorneys, Theo. Lacy is in the
Montgomery county jail, held on charg-
es of embezzling approximately $780,
900 from the state while he was chief
clerk of the convict department. A
story Of how he planned his getaway
with about $4,000 packed in wooden
box and his books out of balance, a
greater amount remains untold.
Lacy will not talk and his friends
are saying nothing.
When the absconding chief clerk
walked into the Montgomery county
jail late Thursday night and announc-
ed that he had come to surrender and
answer every charge the state had
made against him, he added another
chapter to a book of sensations that
has haunted Alabama since March 12,
1918.
But he brought no indications that
any part Of the money he took with
him would be returned and he said
nothing that would give Alabama a
report Of his wanderings. The only
fact Alabama has is that Lacy is here
that four indictments. charging the EN-
bezzlement of $ls2ooO. are pending
against him and that his bond. has
been fixed at $4,000, an amount which
his attorneys consider exorbiant, ant
which they will ask to have reduced
when Temple Seibels. county solicitor
returns to Montgomery Monday.

Juarez, Mex, Jan. 31.-Gen. Villa
announced that civilized warfare par
ticularly with reference to the treat
ment of prisoners, would be adopted
by the rebels. He procured a book
from United States army officials deal
ing with "the ethics of international
warfare" which he said would be put
into practice in the rebel army and he
added that henceforth no Federal Of
ficers would be executed unless they
previously had been captured and on
being released had broken faith not to
fight again.
The statement of the rebel leader
was of interest because of the impend-
ing attack on Gen. Velascos federal
garrison at Torreon, which is looked
on as the probable scene of the next
big military movement in Mexico. Gen.
Herrera, one of Villas leaders, moved
south from Escalon, which is more
than half way from chihuahua to Tor

the rebels actually open the attack

Lacy will tell no one where he has
been since he left Montgomery by
night. But there are reasons to be-
lieve that greater part Of the time
has been spent among old scenes in
Dallas county.
No one knows what route brought
Lacy to the Montgomery county jail
His presence in this city was moi
known until he walked into the prison
and announced that 'I am Theo. Lacy
His statement bore a reality that
stunned the night jailer, and he all
but withered under the realization
that there stood before him a per
son whom detectives had searched
for in the United States and for whost
arrest there was standing reward o
$4,000. Lacy brought NO money I.

OF the money will be returned to tn

could not have disposed of the moue,
unless he divided it before leavjnl

true. other persons may be implicated

but efforts to get him to give it to tn

IN L|NCOLN'S STEPS
Policy for Republican Party to
Pursue.
Leader Of Organic alton That viii Re-
store Good Government to the
People Must Be Guided by His
Wise Craftsmanship.

In his eloquent speech at Detroit
predicting the reunion OF the Repubh-
can party and its return to power
Senator Borah said:
What We want in this country ID
party which will do the simple but
profound thing which Lincoln did
that is, gather up the common sense.
the common honesty. the common
patriotism, the common courage anu
the common righteousness of the COM
mon people of this country, and Or
ganize 1t into a militant, progressive.
disciplined force for legal and social
Justice. and do it all under the Con-
stitution and laws OF this blessed OLD
republic"
This is very much to the point.
The Republican party under Lincoln.
and for many years later under the
inspiration of his achievements. did
notable things. Notable things are
still demanded, and if Mr.. Borah's
prediction is fulfilled, the party. in or
der to retain power, will have to ad-
dress itself to their performance.
While under criticism as non
pio6IcSsiNe, ILluCOlu was iAdhAho
the truest because the safest progress.
He was setting off no fireworks-in-
dulging in no perfervid professions of
devotion to progress. His policies
reasoned out. and In the end all were
justified. His delay Of two years in
the issuance of his emancipation proc
lamation proved to be the wisest step
OF his whole administration. The
matter was SO momentous time was
necessary to ripen it; and Mr. Lin
coins Judgment as to the time was
an inspiration.
The new Republican leader will be
beset in this way. He will be urged
to go faster He will be warned to
go slowly He will not be able to
please both sides. He must decide
many things for himself. and take the
consequences.
Mr.. Borah Is rated as a progressive
Republican. At Chicago two years
ago he sympathized with the Roose-
velt cause during the preliminary
work Of the Republican convention.
but refused to follow Mr.. Roosevelt
out of the party. He remained a Re
publican, and is a Republican today,
So that when he declares that all the
progress now necessary to the well
fare of the country can be made "un-
der the Constitution and laws he
sounds note OF Importance against
all suggestions of tinkering with the
fundamentals of the government. The
old foundations will easily bear what
ever additions may be necessary to
the present superstructure.
