wOMAN'S LOYALTY TO MAN.

A most interesting and eyer enter
tanning writer for the Sunday news
papers is a lady who signs herself
Dab" and the very qaint and some
times unique manner in which she
treats commonplace subjects gives
them a charm and piquancy that are
at once pleasing and amusing To the
reader. In discussing "Woman's 10y
atty to Man. ''Bab" talks in this way,
and the tenderness and sincerity Of
feeling, at lcrst towards the stronger
sex ap ,ear in every word she says:
81 think we WI mt something bigger,
physically, than ourselves, to I'LL these
positions. Men may compare with
us mentally, but they are greater:
and no matter what you say you will
have to acknowledge that this is
true physically. They were built that
way: and We ri talk about a new
woman and Il new century, and every
thing else that we like, but it is the
old man that we stick to. That one
whose arms are strong enough to en-
fold us when we are happy; that n
who is tender enough to %synpathize
with US when we are unhappy, and
and that one who is enough man and
enough boy to be a rock OF refuge in
trouble, and an interesting companion
at all other times. They always talk
about the new woman and never
about the new man. Thank goodness
for this. For generations back the
same type OF man has satisfied the
best Of women-the man who Is hon
est because it is right; the man who
is big mentally and physically because
he is IA man; and the man who Is ten
der aud loving and considerable be-
cause you are a woman and he loves
you; and in that love he has Il queer
pity for you because you arc Il woman;
and yet he wouldn't love you If you
were anything else. Here's to the old
man. You loved him; your neighboI
loved him and with all his faults
and all his virtues, and because lie is
what he is, lie is ardcntly loved b,

ALL HONOR TO CONGRESSMAN
DENNY.

The Mississippi Prohibitionist, pub
lished in Jackson, contains the follow
ing complimentary notice Of our rep
rescntativc in Congress:
Hon. Walter VI. Denny has intro
duced into the House OF Congress Il
bill to forbid the issuance of United
State licenses TO sell liquor IN any
State or county where the local laws
forbid it. Senator PETER, OF Kan
sas, has introduced a like measure
into the Senate. TO Il New York
Voice reporter Mr.. Denny says: IL
introduced ii measure similar to that
OF Mr.. PETER because ! saw a great
protection to our people il the meas
urc passed, in the execution Of the
State prohibitary liquor laws, and
against the invasion Of the so-callcd
blind tiger" We have very many of
the latter in the various counties OF
Mississippi, and all Of them are due
to the Federal tax.
Realizing that the nation will have
Il little to lose under this act in the
way OF revenue, it also has something
to gain when it supports the efforts OF
the people who desire prohibition or
restriction Of the sale Of spirits. Our
people have spoken Of encouraging the
passage OF Il ligh-liccnSc law for Mis-
sissippi as Il plan Of wiping out blind
tigers Such a proposition | do not
approve, but it occurred to me that Il
federal law, such as my bill suggests,
would be very cffcctual in Kidding US
OF the law-breaker, while, in the
meantime, the federal government
would be more consistent in living up
to it's aims and purposes by harmon
izing and protecting State laws, not
antagonizing and gripping them"

Ghe1rmafrat-S Star
WOULD SILVER RISE?
Atlanta Journal.


Atlanta Journal.
The people Of Georgia, even the be-
levers ia the free and unlimited coin
age or silver at l6 to ], do not want il,
II their new dollar is to drop down to
the silver now put in the silver dollar,
and il they are to be put on the finan-
cial basis of Mexico with no money
but silver, and that a deprecated
currency. Judge Crisp, in his Augusta
speech, admitted that the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at l6 TO /,
unless it put the silver and gold dollar
together, would be injurious to the
country. Now what argument is pre-
scented to sustain the claim that the
United States by establishing this
legal ratio Of l6 TO | for the coinage OF
gold and silver when the commercial
ratio between the two metals Is 81 to
l, can raise the value OF silver to twice
its present value and bring the two
together? Judge Crisp said in
Augusta that France did it, and there
fore we could do it. France was
forced to change the ratio over 100
times in Il little more than 100 years
prior to 1903, because she could not
keep the two metals together. She
had commission after commission to
consider the difficulties and injuries
to her commerce caused by this cOndi-
tion. A history OF these facts can be
found in Bcranger's report or the
French monetary system OF 1902, in
reports of Comptroller General Cal.
Tonne, in Brenson's history OF French
Finance, volume 2, page 81, I'M report
by a French comission Ut 1885; in
Chevalicr's work on French finance,
page 1857 in the report OF the French
monetary commission Of 1867 ; in Bos.
redon's report upon the labors
OF the French commission in
1857; in L%cvasseur's discussion Of
French finance coming down to 1868 g.:
In Murray's history OF the French
finance, and in many other similar
works. NJ. Tirard, delegate Of France
TO the international conference at
Brussels, said that France suspended
free coinage because the cum
try was face to face with continually
increasing volume and declining value
OF silver. This example shows that
for 200 years France strove to keep the
commercial value and the legal ratio
OF the two metals together and finally
abandoned it as Il hopeless task in
1874. France could not keep then
together when the difference was only
per cent. II is simply folly to sug.
gcst that the United States could
keep them together when the differ
cncc is so per cent. AS Judge CrisI
comedies that it would he ruinOus Il
this country to attempt the unlimited
coinage at IS to ], unless the bullion
put into each dollar Is OF the same
value, and as 1t is perfectly evident
that silver could not be raised by free
coinage to double its present value
the argument demonstrates the folly
OF supporting free coinage ut lG to !.

SOUTHERN SOLDIERS.

The Boston Evening Gazette, which
was established in 1913, has an article
under the above caption, which shows
that paper is not in line with the
b~loody-shirt screechers. The article
is us follows:
"A few members Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic in Woburn are com
planning that the text books used in
teaching history to the public school
children OF that town are robbing
them Of some OF their hard earned
laurels. They seem to advocate a re-
turn TO the style OF the book In vogue
about twenty-five years ago when
pupils were taught that jefferson
Davis was a little bit worse than old
Satan himself, and that Southern
c~hivalry meant cowardly brutality.
How can it detract from the glory Of
brave men to tell their postcrity that
the foes they conquered were among
the finest soldiers the world has yer
seen? What generous Northern vet
eran would strive to rob the South OF
that which belongs to her as the
mother Of those intrepid heroes who
followed Pickett to humiliation at
Gettysburg! The fame Of their I'M
surpassed valor is part OF the national
heritage. Every truly patriotic Amcri-
can hopes that the mighty race is not
cxtenct, and that when the call for
men OF Virginia, Of South Carolina
and OF Alabama to stand under the
old flag shoulder to shoulder with the
men Of Massachusetts, OF Pennsyl-
vania, and of Illinois, there Shall arise
another Lee, another Jackson and an.
other Johnston. What stainless
knight OF medieval romance can claim
precedence over these? 70 cast one
false slur upon their fame is to insult
the memory of Grant, of Sherman and
OF Sheridan"

COTTONSEED AND MOLASSES.

The Louisiana experiment station
made some experiments in %fattening
steers on %c0ttonsced meal, hulls and
molasscs. The result were favorable.
Concluding the report, the station
says:
In The experiments it was found
that when the animals reached a Ger.
tain degree of fairness, or rather, after
being fed for u certain length OF time
upon this ration exclusively, they
either lost in flesh or remained sta
tionary. At this point it is deemed
always judiciOus to sell or to change
foods, especially replacing the cotton.
seed meal by grain or beans, until the
animals can return to this ration.
In the experiments it was found ad-
vantagcous to add molasscs to IA mix
ture Of meal and hulls to secure Il
better balanced ration. -Four pounds
per day, however, seemed to be the
maximum amount which could be fed
with safety. Increasing this quanti-
W invariably induced "scours." The
mOlasscs used was common black CEN
trltugals, and can be bought in the
New Orleans market for 5 cents per
gallon. Besides supplying the requi-
site carbohydrates the molasses rem
dcred more palatable the hulls and
meal, with which it was intimately
mixed, a point Of no small important
in feeding.
