Washington, Feb. ).-A startling de elopment In the national political situ atlon la the apparent victor? of Gov ernor Vardaman - of Mississippi over John Sharp Will lam a, a victory won by Vardaman'a espousal of" tha Bryan doctrine on government ownership- of railroads. It had bean Assumed all along that the southern atatea would repudi ate the bare suggestion of government ownerahlp, and hence Mr. Williams has tened to chasten Mr. Bryan for hta Mad ison aqua re speech last August, when be said: . "I Am for government control of com mon carriers. If that be found to be in adequate to correct the existing abuses, than I am for government ownerahlp." Immediately John Sharp Williams pounced on the man from Nebraska and declared that he had sacrificed hla mag nificent following in the south and that, , unless he receded from his position, he would not have a corporal's guard of southern delegates In the coming na tional convention. " '.!":"., Williams' statement was commonly Accepted as the pronouncement of an oracle, and the south was placed In the anti-Bryan column. "then - Governor Vardaman, who, with Williams, . Is a candidate for the United States sena torshlp from Mississippi, came out on the tentative platform on government ownership which had been building by Mr. Bryan, and went Into 'the eanvass In earnest. Williams reiterated his pre vlous declarations and the two tried It out before the people In a speaking campaign. . . . SYMPATHY .

The south has always been presumed to stand for anything that makes for the'retentlon of the Jim Crow car and against the least danger that It should be done away. Tet, apparently. Vardaman has back of him the people of Mississippi, one of the most southern Of southern statsa. The most potent factor in this unex pected growth of sentiment la the south in favor of- more complete control of the common-carriers has-been the revela tions of the tremendous extent of the E. H. Harrlman system, which is tanta mount to Standard OIL, , , ! BSeot to Capita. . ' .J- , -t The effect on opinion here in th na tional capital of those revelations has been marked, Indeed, and there are here men who talk of the pendency of gov ernment ownership of railroads as though It ware almost the only thing left short of railroad ownership of the gov ernment. If the south Join the ranks of those who are for government ownership as an alternative, In the event control fall to accomplish needed reforms (which, and which only, is Mr.- Bryan's posi tion), then will the candidate from Ne braska most certainly have aa Acclamation- nomination for the presidency from the Democratic party. ambles and resolutions were adopted by the branch organisations of ths Social ist party at this place: "We. farmers, duly Assemble under the branch organisation of the Social ist party to offer protest Against the legalised kidnaping of Heywood.

Dividend Is Not Hence Applic able According to Intention. . (Special Dtapateb Tbe Joernal.) : Bal em, Feb. 20-r-The supreme court yesterday. In an 'opinion -by JuaUce Moore, reversed the Judgment of Judge M. C. George of the circuit court of Multnomah county In the case of W, C. Noon of Portland. This is an ap plication -by. executors to vote money to the payment of debts, ot a decedent's estate and involves ths ' construction of A Will. In 1904 W. C. Noon of Portland died. leaving an estate of more than A quarter of A million, the major part In ths form or stock in the w. C. Noon Bag com pany, the only lnoome-produclng prop erty of tne eatate. By A codicil this stock was left-In-trust for a term of years and ths dividends were to be dis tributed at stated Intervals among the heirs. -The executors desired to use the dividend already declared,' over $25,000, to the, payment cf the debts of the estate, but the widow and heirs claimed that ths stock and dividends were- a special bequest to them and must be distributed. The supreme court holds that the cor pus of the stock Is a special bequest, but that when ths will is rsad with tbe codicil tbe dividend Is not a special -bequest and therefore subject to the pay ment of the debts of the estate, and. or ders that it be applied as follows; To the , payment of the allowance for the support of the widow and children; to the payment of the preferred debts; to the-payment pro- rata-of -nHrdebte-x cept the debts of the bag company.' The county court' ordered the real property to be sold instead of applying the proceeds of the stock, and this or der wss Affirmed by ths circuit court, which based its action on ths act of 1906, which contained a provision that it should apply to1 estates In course of ad ministration and allowed real property to be sold 'before personal property, The supreme court holds that sinoe the title to real property passes direct to the heirs and devisees on the death of the., testator the law cannot apply to-Jthai. aale of such property until liability for tbe debts of the estate attaches thereto by reason of tha exhaustion of the per sonal property primarily liable.
