Words of Wisdom.

"There is much disposition on the
part of well-to.do farmers" says
the Biloxi Herald, "to move to
town on the plea of educating their
children. The object is commenda-
BILE, but the results are not always
satisfactory. In moving children
from the country to town they may
gain some advantages, but they
undoubtedly lose many that are
very important. No matter what
may be said in disparagement ofthe
social and educational advantages
of the country, it is still the great
recruiting ield for model house
wives and mothers and the best
type ofmanhood. The country boy
may not realize it, but he has sur
roundings and opportunities which
his town aud city cousins do not
enjoy. Nowhere in all the world
are there better opportunities for
self-made, American manhood to
develop than in the well-regulated
country home. Useful lives and
positions OF honor and trust await
the country boys who improve their
exclusive opportunity

The State Militia.

The New York Journal of Com.
merce recently received the follow.
ing inquiry:
Please inform me whether in case Of
a war the National Guard of the various
States in general, and that of New
Jersey In particular, could be ordered
out for service outside of their own
State, or would it be necessary for
them to volunteer. My impression is
that the National Guard enlist only to
serve the State in which they are with
in that States borders.
In reply the Journal of Com.
merce stated that the President has
power to call out the National
Guard of any State to serve in a
State other than in which it be
longs. The Constitution makes
the President Commander.in- Chief
"of the militia of the several States,
when called into the actual service
of the United States" 1t provides,
also, that Congress shall have
power "to provide for calling forth
the militia to execute the laws of
the Union, suppress instructions
and repel invasions." Under the
power thus conferred Congress has
enacted several laws providing for
calling forth the militia of the
various States. One of the statutes
is to be found in Section 1642 of the
Revised Statutes, which provides
that "whenever the United States
are invaded, or are in imminent
danger of invasion from any for.
eign nation or Indian tribe, or of
rebellion against the authority of
the Government of the United
States, it shall be lawful for the
President to call forth such num-
ber of the militia of the State in
States most convenient to the
place of danger, or scene of action,
as he may deem necessary to repel
such invasion, or to suppress such
invasion, or to suppress such re-
belli0n." Other provisions of law
authorizing the President to call
forth the militia of one State for
service in another may be found in
sections 5297 and 529S of the Re.
vised Statutes.

Legislature of the State of Missis-
sippi, That chap. 1O4 of the laws of

Imprisonment, by fine of not less
than twenty-five dollars (S25) nor
more than one hundred dollars
($1OO) or by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not more than three
months, or both in the discretion
of the court; but the jury may re.
turn a verdict that there shall be
no imprisonment. and in such case
the court shall impose a fine only.
SECTION 2. That any Offense
committed and penalty incurred
previous to the time when this act
shall take effect, and any indict-
ment or prosecution therefor pend
ing at the time when this act shall
take effect, shall not be affected by
its adoption but all such offences,
penalties and prosecutions shall re.
main subject to the laws in force
before the passage of this Act,
except the court may in its
discretion omit the Imprisonment.
SECTION 3. That this Act shall
take effect and be in force from
and after its passage.

The Voice Exposures.

For several months past the
New York Voice has been engaged
in exposing the drink temptations
thrown In the way of students who
attend the Universities of Prince.
ton, Yale and Cornell and the cul.
pability of the faculties and trus.
tees of these institutions in con.
nection Herewith. According to
the showing of the Voice, which
withstands all denials and attacks,
the environment which surrounds
boys and young men who attend
these Universities, is simply ap.
palling to contemplate. To our
mind nothing in recent years has
so emphasized the Importance of
Prohibition and Temperance re.
form nor so suggested the awful
magnitude of the work to be done,
as tho moral and religious rotten.
ness among those who have the
control and destinies of these great
educational institutions in their
hands. There seems to be poison
and moral corruption at the very
fountain head from whence the
people had a right to expect only
pure and sweet water-moral tur.
pitude and laxity of which the
guilty, when publicly arraigned,
seem not even to be ashamed, even
though it bring disgrace upon
ministerial robes and all Christian
profession.
Mississippi's colleges for young
men are very happily situated by
comparison with these. There is
not a one of the towns where our
four Mississippi Colleges are 10.
Gated that isn't under Prohibition
law and all of their faculties above
even suspicion of sympathy with
the liquor traffic, licensed or un.
licensed.
The courage and fidelity of The

beyond all praise. In what is
most to be admired, it stands with.
out peer in American journalism.

Spain's Strength.

Spain is a small nation by com.
parison with the United States,
and her powers are waning. Fif.
teen years ago there were 1S,00O,-
600 people in Spain; to-day 16.-
100000. Thirty years ago the
gross income, public and private,
of the country was 81 200, 900, 900 ;
now it is $3.50, 100000. Largemili.
tary and naval burdens, in addi-
ton to others, are borne by the
peasant population. Illiteracy pre-.
walls to the extent of 66 per cent.
of population. Wages are low, 40
cents a day in cities and 80 cents
in rural districts. On the other
hand. provisions are abnormally
high. The national debt is we'll on
to two thousand million, and the
credit the lowest in Europe. The
government is a military despotism
with a king and a cabinet as figure
heads. Revolution in the colonies
is supplemented by ceaseless fears
of uprisings at home. All the col.
Onies have been lost save Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines
that once constituted one of the
greatest empires in the history of
the world.

Mr.. Bryan's Gifts.

In referring to the Bryan meet
ing at Greenvllle, the Democrat of
that place says:
"When Mr.. Bryan was handed a
a check for $3.50 for the speeches,
he endorsed the same to the Uni.
versity of Mississippi, to be kept
as a medal fund. So he accepted
not one dollar for his services"
Mr.. Bryan gave similar amounts
to the University of Tuscaloosa,
Ala, Tulane University, New Or
leans, and the Louisiana State Uni
versity at Baton Rouge.

Broad Tires.

1t is now generally admitted that
broad tires for wagons hauling
heavy loads not only lessen the
force to be exerted by the team
pulling the load, but broad tires
are also an advantage to the
road. With broad tires the roads
are not cut up into ruts like the
narrow tires cut them. The Mis-.
souri, experiment station has been
making some tests with broad and
narrow tires and the following is
the result for
DIRT ROADS.
"When dry, hard, and free from
ruts and dust, $3.50 pounds could
have been hauled on the broad
tires with the same draft required
for 1000 pounds on the narrow
tires. On clay road, with mud
deep and drying on top, or dry oD
top and spongy underneath, a large
number Of tests showed uniformly
favorable to the broad tire. The
difference amounted to from 80 to
81 per cent. or about $500 pounds
could have been hauled on the
broad tires with the same draft re.
quired to draw 1000 OH the narrow
tires. In this condition of road
the broad tires showed to their
greatest advantage. AS the road
dries and becomes firmer, the differ
ence between the draft of the
broad and narrow tires gradually
diminishes until it reaches about
% to 80 per cent. on dry hard,
smooth dirt, gravel or McAdam
road, in favor of the broad tire.
y
"a large number of tests on
meadows, pastures, stubble land,
corn ground, and plowed ground
in every condition, from dry, hard
and firm, to wet and soft, show,
without single exception, a large
difference in draft in favor of the
broad tires. This difference ranged
from II to 12O per cent.
''It appears that six inches is the
best width for a combination farm
and road wagon, and that both
axles should be the same length,
so that the front and shind wheels
will run in the track. ."-Missouri
Experiment Station.

May be no War.

In spite of all the talk and pre-
dictiOns to the contrary, war
with Spain seems as far off and un'
certain as it was a week ago. The
President sent his special message
to Congress Monday submitting
the report of the commission ap.
pointed 10 investigate the Maine
explosion. A full synopsis of the
findings of the commission will be
found on the 3rd page of THE
LEADER. The proof is conclusive
that the Maine was blown up from
the outside, but the commission
was unable to fix the responsibility.
The Presidents message is short
and decidedly more conciliatory
than the country expected. Spain,
too, appears to be in more concil.
iatory mood, and is willing for the
United States to feed her starving
subjects in Cuba, while she con.
tinues her efforts to ''pacify" the
insurgents.
What the final outcome of all
the war talk and preparation will
be, it is impossible to tell. A ma.
jority of our Congressman are evi'
dently in favor of declaring war
and driving the cruel, treacherous
Spaniards out of Cuba without
further ceremony, and if Congress
does this, it will meet the approx al
of the country.
