still adheres to it. And whoever seeks
in any way to put pressure upon him
from a political standpoint does, as
we have said, no service to Justice
Hughes. On the contrary, such a
course tends to call the Justices sin
cerity into question; and, though in
tended in spirit of admiration, is, in
reality, mark of disrespect.
Furthermore, it does not benefit the
Republican party. We have never
been in the habit of ravishing the Su-
preme bench for the presidential can
didates-and there is no paucity of
candidates to impel us to begin such
action now. The Republican nomina-
ton for next year is not going begging
by any means. Nor are we, like the
Democrats, forced to take one only as
our standard bearer. More than a doz-
en- men, now favOrite sons of their own
communities, will enter the conven-
ton. One of them will emerge as the
fayorite son of a united and trium-
plant party. He will be worthy of
the honor. And when we have nomi-
mated him and elected him-as we
shall-we shall have the satisfaction
OF knowing that we have not impover-
ished the courts in order to- enrich the
White House

The shortage of American foreign

effect on our flour expores to China,
according to a recent report of the
American consul to China to the De-
partment of Commerce. He says
Present indications are that initial
buying of the new crop in the United
States for this (the Chinese) market
will be far below the usual volume"
This recalls a recent report of Com
mercial Attache Julean H Arnold
from Shanghai, China, in which he
stated" The reports of the withdraw
al of the Pacific mail steamers and the
sale of two of the Robert Dollar Pa

A bill to limit the issuance of rail-
Congress in December and pressed for
passage as the last item in the Wilson
trust program, according to informa-
ton available in Washington This
bill be essentially the same as the well
known Adamson bill, fathered by
Chairman AdamsOn of the House In
terstate and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee, which after having been enact
ed by the House was allowed to die in
the Senate.
The provisions of the bill it is re-
ported have the approval of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, which,
in its forthcoming annual report. is
expected to urge upon Congress the
necessity of prohibiting the unwise
and speculative issue of railroad
stocks and bonds, practice which is
prevalent today as much as in the
early days of railroad high finance" "
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
glneers and Firemen, and other rail
road labor organizations favor some
such measure because of the alleged
disastrous effect upon railroad wages
of unregulated security issues. I'M
portant sections of the Adamson bill
were suggested by the Hadley stock
and bond commission, appointed by
President Taft in 1910.
At the close of the last session of
Congress the railroad security bill was
ON the Senate calendar, backed by a
favorable report written by Senator
Newlands of Nevada, chairman of the
Committee on Commerce.

CAPITAL WEEK IN CRIMINAL COURT Eighteen Cases Set For Trial-Alleged Train Rob-
 bers To Be Tried

Capital week begins this morning in the first division of the criminal court
 There are IS indictments charging capital offenses. which include six murder cases. three train wrecking cases, six robbery cases and three criminal assault cases set for trial. In- dications point to a busy week for Judges Fort and Heflin and the staff O. ne county solicitors office. Judge Heflin will organize the juries for the N eek.
 The following is the capital docket for this week.
 Letha Davis, murder; Julius Jordan, robbery Will Doty, robbery; Clyde Allen, murder; Norman Buttram, rob- bery; Charles Lawson, murder Ed ward Crosby, murder; Essie Johnson. arson; Harry Pitry, murder Richard Wright, robbery; Henry Garrett. mur- der; W. S. Henry train wrecking; Ar chic Lee, train wrecking; James smouse. robbery; Amos Smith. train wrecking Henry Wilson, robbery; AL bert Box, murder; Frank Phifer, crim- inal assault; John Almon Hair, crim- final assault.
 All of the above cases are on in- dictments returned this year with the exception of two. showing that the criminal courts have practically caught up with the capital cases in Jefferson county.
 Perhaps the most interesting cases of the week will be those of the al- legged train wreckers. These will come to trial probably on Wednesday morn ing. It is likely that of the trio com posed of w. Shan Henry. Archie Lee and Amos Smith, who were indicted for wrecking the New York train of the Seaboard Air Line on June g, Amos Smith will be the first to go on trial. The Seaboard train was wrecked near Weems and three lives were lost. After an investigation by the police and railroad detectives, w. Shan Hem ry. Amos Smith and Archie Lee were arrested. Confessions were secured by the police from Smith and Lee. but Shan Henry, alleged to be the leader of the train wrecking band, steadfast- ly refused to incrifninate himself.
 It Is now understood that Amos Smith and Archie Lee have repudiated their confession to the police and also their statements before the grand jury and the cases promise to be bitterly fought.
