Imports into the United States for
1901, including Hawaiian and Porto
Rican figures, were over $50, 600,
the largest in the history of the
country. Heavy importations do not
generally indicate the best conditions.
In this case, however, the increase
has been in raw materials, which
shows an increased activity among
our manufacturers, and in tropical
articles, such as coffee, sugar, rubber,
tea, spices, etc, things which we do
not raise ourselves. Such imports
amount to $35O,OOO,OOO a year, and
afford suggestion for the idea that
all this money can be spent in our
own tropical possessions, which are
capable Of furnishing this entire prod

question is concerned we are aware
that we maintain degree of sanitary
conditions far above the average coun.

that we are also growing more rapidly

1t is the tendency of sophisticated
age like the present to overestimate
intellectual as compared with moral
and emotional wits. The material
civilization upon which we pride our
selves is almost entirely the achieve
ment of the intellect. Fame and
wealth, luxury, cultivation and leis-
ure-all the big prizes of the world,
in fact-are obtained by the success
full exercise OF the intellect. The
moral qualities, of themselves, can
procure man nothing but q clear
conscience, and the approval, perhaps
mixed with contempt, of his neigh
bors. Yet, when the intellectual quail
tiles are brought to the test OF reality;
when ones view OF them is not cloud
ed by pride, avarice or passion, how
amazingly does their value shrink and
shrivel! When a man lies on his
deathbed, for example, his intellectual
achievements, though Of the highest
order, will seem as nothing to him
he will ask himself simply whether he
has lived a good or a bad life; and
after his death his family and friends
will look at the matter in precisely
the same way.

To the average Western man the East
seems to be a sealed book. If he was
born and bred in the West his mind and
heart are completely taken up with local
problems of life and activity and love
and admiration for the exhilirating air
and great newness of the life about him.
If he was born and bred in the East when
be came west he burned the bridges be-
hind him and lived in an atmosphere
clear, bright and full of emotions of
boundless hope. says the coast. The
West does have special customs and
habits of life. In thought, word and deed,
narrow conyentionalities are cast aside
and a wide Notwithstanding sur
prising, it is true-takes their place.
There is a directness of expression. an
honesty of conviction and sternness of
judgment which is often as startling as it
is swift. In business, man has scheme
in mind; he seeks his man; he bluntly
states his project and Immediately it is
accepted or rejected. In social life, in
politics, in church life, in all avenues of
life this is the predominant feature.
Everything is action, action, action-ever
lasting and persistent action. Mistakes
are sometimes made; but more often
success is achieved. Mistakes are always
made where something is done. From
west to east is long trip-a coveted de-
light. There is business to ileave-ur-

There are opportunities. large and inn

very much. Once in a while, in mo-
ment when the heart is flushed with the
fruits of success, one hears the call of
love for the old home and feels the ire

.'back East and see the old home" to

the successful man to 60 back and let
the "nodding heads" know what can be

An Act of Noble Jus
tiCe.

When the attention of the
States of NewOrleans was called
to The dispatch sent from BILOXI
and published in it's issue of
April 8, that journal very prompt
" disavowed it and condemned
it in no uncertain terms as may
be taken from its issue of April
y, and 1t has the ring of true
nanlinesa and Is prominently
an act of noble justice;
IN JUSTICE TO COL. HARDY
The attention of the States has
been directed to a paragraph
appearing recently IN it's Biloxi
correspondence which rcflectsWn
justly upon the candidacy for
congress- of Gel w. H. Hardy of
Hattiesburg, that state, The
paragraph in question referred
to Col. Hardy as back mum Der
and ntimated that votes cast fer
him would be wasted. it Is
perhaps, needless to say that
the States does not share any
such sentiments, but or the
contrary, it entertains the very
highest regard for Col, Hardy,
and while having nc desire to
interfere @s1 Mississippi politics
now that the subject has been
as it were, thrust upon it, this
paperdoes not hesitate to express
the unqualified opinion that
Mississippi can send no ADLER or
pu1-er representative to congress
than he Col. Hardy is by no
means a back number"
Il is true that the
charge OF adolescence cannot
be properly urged against him.
but he is still in active and undl-
mirished possession of all his
faculties, and these, instead of
being impaired by age have been
rendered all the more servlceable
and powerful by experience and
an accurately poised mentality.
He has served Mississippi ably
and faithfully in war and in peace
and no man in the south IS more
intimately acquainted with the
industrial conditions and with
the lines along which effort
toward development can be
most probably expended. Few
men have been endowed with
such splendid equipment and
few have striven more effectively
than he to build up the south,
and the whole south would be the
gamer by his election to congress.
1t would be a sad, sad day for
Mississippi should her sons of
today turn down men like Col,
Hardy, who have defended her
honor in war and advanced her
interests in peace, under the
foolish delusion that they are
back numbers, "ald the States
tenders its sincere apologies to
Col. Hardy and to all the splen-
did men of his school, all of whom
it considers have been reflected
upon by the thoughtless par
agraph which slipped unnoticed

Railroad Attorneys
0. K.

Hen, A, j. Russell OF Meridian,
would be a good man for next
Governor if his friends can
prevail ora him to make the race.
He would be hard to beat should
he enter the field. Mr.. Russell
is, no doubt, a very good man;
but what is the use of electlng a
railroad attorney governor when
as good a man can be found not
in the payof the railroad int crest.
We have no fight to make
against railroad attorneys, as
such, but will urge the necessity
of not electing men to places OF
trust who are in the employ of
great com binations of capital
whose interests are directly op-
posed to the interesto of the people.
Hereafter, before a man is elected
to a place of trust he should
be made to state what position
he occupies III regard to trusts
and com blnes, and if it should
develop that he is on their payroll
he should be promptly turned
down. The conflict between the
people and the com bines is on,
and the sooner the people realize
it the sooner It will be ended IN
their favor. Bonneville Plaindeale.
The Record does not feel called
upon to pull for or defend Mr..
Russell, but the fact that he is a
railroad attorney is no reason
why he is not a suitable man for
governor. The very fact that he
is railroad attorney is evidence
that he has some OF the very
essential qualifications for the
aforesaid office. First he must
have plenty of brains or he could
not make a good lawyer, and if he
was not an able one, therallroads
would not have him, as they
always want the best. OF course
it is his duty to look after the
interest of the railroad so long as
he is in their employ, but if he
was elected to the gubernatorial
chair he could be depended upon
to look after the interests OF the
state, Just as he is depended
upon by the railroads, and he
would not still work for their
good instead of the states.
In the next place the Plaindealer
has mistakenidea about the rail-
roads-iusta as good many other
people have-whcn it says 'their
interests are directly opposed to
the interests of theIpeople. " The
railroads are the friends of the
people and are just as dependent
on the people as the people are on
them. The people could get
along without the railroads, but
the railroads could not without
the people, and it is false inn
preston that they are against
the people. The railroads are
always making some new i'm
and furnishing better
facilities for theaccommodation of
the public, and it is a mistaken
idea that they are always robbing
the people and working against
hem.-NeWtOn Record.
The FREE PREss heartily en-
dorses the sentiment of the
Record, and the same argument
will apply to the candidacy of
of Hon. E. ]. Bowers for con-
gress in this district. 1t has
been suggested by some people
that the fact that Mr.. Bowers
was attorney for the Gulf & Ship
Island Railroad Company would
defeat him for Congress. Such

The town of Newton is perhaps
the only one in the state whose
board of aldermen refuses to
allow the home paper to publish
the town ordinances enacted by
the hoard.-NeWton Record.
If the board referred to will
consult the code 1t will find that
its ordinances are no good and
cannot be enforced if published
outside of the town when
there's newspaper published
in the town. The trouble wit h
the alderman in a great many
towns is that they need blue
back speller and a first reader
before they can grasp paragraph
