Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
ONE plants grow better than
shers. Soil may be the same
md seed may seem the same
,ut some plants are weak and

And that's the way with
hilelren. They are like young
.lants. Same food, same home,
anne care but some grow big
nd strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because OF lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.

A few months ago the insurance
companies routed the city govern
ment of Vicksburg, and demanded
and obtained considerable changes
and concessions at jackson and
several other cities in the State. in
the pretended interest of better
security against fires on the one
hand, and decreased rates of in
surance on the other. Now the
insurance companies through their
local agents last week have pro-
mulgated rates for those same
towns, as we'll as the balance Of
Mississippi, that are from twenty
five to forty per cent. higher than
ever. This move is but the natu-
raj result of the supreme courts de-
cision requiring the payment OF
dollar for every dollars loss by
fire, and failure of the Legislature
to convene to enact a new law fol
the benefit of the insurance com
pauies- What is lost to them by
the operation of the valued policy
clause" is being recovered by a
general advance in rates.

The jackson bureau of the Mem
phis Morning News says that a
measure is under discussion for
the next legislature. for enactment
of a law prohibiting games of
baseball in this State. from the
first of September to the first of
January. The motive for the law
is obvious, and about the only sug-
oestion left to be made is that the
jurisdiction be extended to the
forty-seven states and the limit OF
time be broadened to cover thir,
teen months of the year.

MIR. nRYAN,s PILGRIMAGE.

dispatch from Austin. Tex. says
/ that Col. w. ]. Bryan, who is at chat
4 place, is very much disturbed by the
reports from Mexico that the Mexi-
4 can government is preparing to put
| the currency on a gold basis, and that
/ he has determined to visit that coun-
try before returning to Nebraska, and
investigate the monetary conditions
there for himself
When Mr.. Bryan was a candidate
for President, the plank in the Demo-
cratic platform which commanded the
most attention was that calling for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
He was a strong advocate of silver,
and is yet. In his speeches in 1900 he
made frequent references to Mexico's
prosperity in consequence of her adj
herence to silver. and argued that sill
yer would do for the United States
what is was doing for Mexico. He is
very much surprised. therefore, to find
that Mexico is preparing to abandon
silver and establish the gold standard.
No doubt Mr.. Bryan intends to go to
a fact that a silver currency is prov
ing to be a bad thing for that coun-
try he will endeavor to find the rea-
son, and if he becomes convinced that
he was mistaken in 1896 and 1900, in
advocating silver, he will not hesitate
to say so. He is straightforward
man, and has the courage to admit an
error when convinced he has made one.
In this connection it is worthy of no
tice that movement to stop the coin
age of the silver dollar is being agi-
tated in the Senate. Mr.. Shaw, Secre-
tary of the Treasury recommended in
his annual report that it's coinage be
discontinued on the ground that it was
practically impossible for the govern
ment to get rid of silver dollars. There
are hundreds of millions of them stored
in the vaults of the treasury. A good
many of them are distributed in the
fall of the year, particularly in the
South, but they find their way back
to the treasury. Nobody seems to
want them. The preference is for pa
per money, which is much more con-
venient to carry.
There is great deal of silver bull
lion in the treasury, purchased when
the Sherman silver law was in opera
ton. All of it, however. will be need
ed in the course of time for subsid-
larry coin. for which there is a steady
demand
1t is doubtful if silver will ever again
play an important part in a political
campaign in this country. It's gem
orally admitted now that to have made
the coinage of silver free at any ratio
would have been a mistake.
For a time a belief prevailed that
the increase in the production of gold
would bring gold and silver
dollars closer together but the
continued decline in the COM
mercial value of silver not
withstanding the great increase in the
production of gold, throws doubt upon
the correctness of this belief. What
Mr.. Bryan has to say about silver upon
his return from Mexico will be re-
ceived with great 1 terest. 1t would
not be surprising If he should be ready
to abandon his advocacy of silver. ~

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

1t is matter of great doubt as to
the outcome of the struggle in the
Senate over the bill providing for a
labor day of eight hours on all gov
eminent work. Owing to the influence
which the labor vote has in politics
the bill has a very strong support.
Indeed, the impression is that the
committee which has the bill in charge
will report it favorably. In that event
the chances of it's becoming a law
will be greatly increased. A strong
fight is being made against 1t by ship
builders and those interested in steel
mills in which government work is
done.
In the course of the discussion of the
bill before the committee the ship
builders and steelmakers said If the
bill should become a law they would
not bid for government work, for the
reason that the introduction. of the
eight hour labor day into their estab-
lishments would make it impossible for
them to build ships in competition
with the shipbuilders of Europe or to
make steel products at prices which
would enable them to find market in
other lands.
The opposition of these shipbuilders
and steel makers is of course. but
natural. They are undoubtedly sin
cere in thinking that the enactment of
on eight hour law would bankrupt
them, but. as a matter of fact. are
they right? This is a question which
Congress ought to be able to decide.
If the effect of the law would be to
greatly limit the output of our steel
mills and shipyards the fact should
be clearly understood. Nothing so
important as this should be done blind
ly.
II the steel makers and the ship
builders are right then the labor or
CARNATIONS ought not to urge the pas
sage of the bill, for the reason that
while few meu might succeed in
getting an increase of wages a great
number of skilled workmen would be
thrown out of employment on account
OF the lack of work. 1t is better for
laboring men TO have steady work at
fair wages than to have high wages
for only part of the year.
Within the last few years we have
been exporting a large amount of steel
products, and we have made some pro-
gress in restoring prosperity to our
shipyards. There could be no greater
mistake not only from the standpoint
Of the laborer. but also of the ship
builder and the country. than TO
enact a law that would have the ef-
feet OF checking the growth OF Inn
portant industries.

CURRENT COMMENT.


The Chicago Chronicle Oem.) says:
The Monroe doctrine does not say that
European nations shall not violate in
ternational law in the Western Hem
isphere, but the highest considerations
of American self-respect do say 1t and
say it plainly. 1t is high time for a
twentieth century declaration to the eff
feet that European nations having bills

nent shall not begin proceedings under
flag, of truce with broadside If
anybody is to make war on this hemi-
sphere it is of the utmost Importance

waters than any other kind"

doctrine means THAT no European ma
ton shall acquire territory on this con-
tinent or extend the boundaries of such
territory as it held in 1923, 1t means

Two clever once BOYS.

Willis & Robinson occupy suite of
offices in one of the downtown build
ings, says the Kansas City Independ-
emit. The other day Robinson read
aloud to Willis. one of those traditional
messenger boy-snail-speed' stories,
and wound up by saying:
You can just bet that my office boy
does not waste any time. Mr.. Willis.
Just let me show you how we'll have
got him trained"
Frank, the boy, was called and d.
rected to run over to the postoffice to
buy some stamps. Seated with Mr..
Willis, Robinson pulled out his watch
and slowly, as the time passed. said:
Now, Frank is going down the ele-
vator. Now he is on the street. Now
he turns the corner into Grant. Now
ne reaches the postoffice. Now he gets
the stamps. Now he is returning. Now
ne is in the elevator. Now he is in the
hall, and now Frank is here"
Exactly on that moment the boy
opened the door and handed his en-
ployer the stamps.
How is that for accuracy?" asked
Robinson, with a smile.
MY boy is just as clever" said Will
lis. Just let me show you"
He called his boy. Tommy. from the
outer office and sent him for pound
OF tobacco. Just as Robinson had done
before, Willis now looked at his watch.
Now he is on the street" said Willis,
Now he turns the corner. Now he
enters the stere>, Nov, he is on his way

he is here. Now win cali him. Tom
Tommy stuck his head into the office
and said; Yes. sir"

He Had to Have IT..

When the real estate dealer gets
wound up on story telling he is apt
to get interesting. says the Kansas City
Independent. He says that some time
ago he had an allotment of the mar
ket, and one day a foreign looking in
dividual walked into his office and said
he wanted to inquire about the lots.
He looked over the plat and finally
picked out one that suited him.
''Vots der price?'' he asked when the
location was decided upon.
Eight hundred dollars
Il give you seek houndred cash.
Very WELL" said the dealer, you
can have it,
Then the customer lowered his voice
II want der price Of dot lot seek

to effrybody else. You understand ?"

You want the 5000 for a commits

all right, too"
The customer looked relieved.
It's choost this way. he said, 81
must have dot'two houndred, or l can't
get married.
You shall have it, said the dealer.
A few days later the future bride,
her mother and the coming bridegroom
entered the office. The papers Were
quickly prepared and signed, and the
mother, from the intrieaeies of her
skirts, produced a wad of bills, which
proved to be the necessary $780,
Then the bridegroom fingered behind
as the bride and her mother passed into
the hall. The dealer hastily counted
off the 5000 and thrust il into the BRIDE
grooms hand
Il have to have it," whispered the
latter
"All right" said the dealer.
Il couldn't get married without it,"
Il understand" said the dealer.
The man with the two hundred
paused, with his hand on the door
knob.
II have to have it, he hoarsely muir

Then he went out.
