The cotton king did not deal
with the spectators as gently as
he dealt with the exporters and
spinners who came before him
to make settlements yesterday.
Possibly he remembered his re-
ception in Wall street when he
came here green from his home
town. 1t is. also possible that

who were caught short in the
market when the last sensational

had gone short of September

were put off until the last minute.
Their nervousness was shown in
the speech made by one man
who was heavily interested, and
who has been fighting the bull
movement.

pound of flesh, y he said to Mr..
Brown. Possibly you will wait
for it?" he added with an at

Mr.. Brown, showing evident
displeasure. 'I will see you

The Committee Meets.

4 meeting of the County DEM
ocratic Executive Committee was
held last Friday morning at ten
o'clock at the office of z. p. Lam
drum with L. A. Vaughn acting
chairman, 2. P. Landrum secre-
tary and a quorum of mem bers
represented in person or in
proxy.
The chairman stated the pur-
pose of the call being to receive
and act upon a petition signed
by H D. Foote and F. w. Flood,
candidates for the vacancy on
the democratic ticket for the po-
sition of Justice, from this the
second district. The petition
was read as follows:
THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI,
County of Lowndes.
To the Honorable Executive Commit
tee of said County:
We, the undersigned candidates for
the Office for j. p. in Dist. No. 2, of
said county would respectfully re-
quest you to call an extra primary for
the nomination of a nominee for said
Office.
And, whereas there is no law gov
erning said primary and by placing
names on the ticket at the general
election may possibly jeopardize the
present nominee and we, TO avoid such
jeopardy pledge ourselves to be gov
erned and will abide by said election
at said primary and we pledge our
selves to bear the expenses of said
election that is to be equally divided
between US.
H. D. FooTE,
F. w. FLOOD.
After considering the petition
the same was denied for the rea-l
son that the com mittee did not
have the power to grant the same.
Appreciating the fact that this
would necessitate the candidates
for the vacancy entering the
general election in opposition to
one of the nominees for the posi-
ton, motion was passed that an
address be issued in the name of
the committee calling the atten-
ton of all democrats to the situa-
ton in which the regular nomi-
nee is placed and urging them to
vote for him and one other can
didate for the vacancy caused by
Judge WakefeId's death.
The resignation of z. p. Lam
drum as a member of the com
mittee and as its secretary was
received but was not accepted.
There being no further busi-
ness the committee adjourned.

PROBES ioBat Ethics

Recently the Goodhue County Medical
association held a meeting at which the
question of professional ethics was dis
cussed. One member of the medical pro-
fession was denied membership in the
society on the ground that he permit
ted the newspapers to known and chron-
icle important operations that were of
general interest to the public. Instead
of attempting to deny the impeachment
the physician freely admitted its truth,
and he took occasion to say that the
favorable publicity which his firm had
obtained had been an important factor
in developing their very extensive and
successful practice. That physician is to
be commended for his candor. His
straightforward statement brought out
the following comment from The Red
wing Republican: "The Republican is
perhaps not good authority on pro-
fessional ethics and does not pretend to
be, but if we were to give it a definition
we would call it a stumbling block which
old practitioners place in the way of the
young and progressive. So-called ethics
came into existence before the world got
a start forward. When the world did
start to move every department of
science and industry was held back by
the old timers, who thought it crime
not to do things as their fathers did
them. Precedent and prejudice combined
against progress and the young, ener-
getic man who learned more than his
sible. Many young men who had the
talents and the learning to make marks
for themselves, saw ethics clothed in
such dignity that they fell down and
vorshipped them and let opportunity slip
by Many young men are doing the same
today. We do not understand why the
ethics which apply to any respectable
and dignifed calling or business should
not apply to the physicians business;
why it is not proper for the world TO
know the man of ability through the
same mediums through which it receives
its information of current things, name
ly, the newspaper"
There can be no more harm in a news
paper making the statement that doc
tor performed an important operation
than there is in giving publicity to the
fact that certain attorney was retained
in some particular lawsuit. In either
case the public is interested; and while
the newspaper has in view the news fea-
ture of the item the physician is certain
to receive 80 much advertising. Well,
suppose he does! Should that be
bar to his practicing an houor-
able professionf 1t does seem that pro-
fessional ethics are carried altogether too
far.

WILL DO MORE.
M. G. Willard Includes Another Acre
in His Donation.

The proposal of M. G.. Willard to do
nate to the city the bluffs and ravines
owned by him along the Glenwood ave-
nue. road is being very well received by
the people, and the council will be carry
ing out the general wish if it votes to
accept the generous offer The Civic I'm
provement league has the matter in
hand, and will conduct the negotiations
with the council, as it has done with Mr..
Willard.
Mr.. Willard has decided to do still
better than he had at first intended. He
has proposed to reserve about an acre
or more of the ravine that the new Bun
ker hill road goes up, but he has now de-
termined to include this in the donation,
so that the gift will include all of that
ravine west of the road The Swedish
cemetery association owns the portion
on the upper side of the road, and will
doubtless improve it much the same as
the city will the rest.
The more beautiful the city can be
made by parks and drivewaSs, the more
people will be attracted to it, and the
faster the population will grow. Such
things draw the best class of popula-
ton, as they are class that likes taste
full surroundings, and will beautify their
own homes.
The thought which Mr.. Willard has in
erecting tablet to the memory of his
first wife is beautiful one, as her last
wish before her final illness was to drive
up that road. She was passionately
fond of the rugged hills and the beautiful
foliage that covered them, and it was
her delight to drive through the ravine.
For this reason Mr.. Willard has since
her death had in mind the preservation
of the beautiful scenery.

There is something admirable in the
manner in which The st. Paul Dispatch
exposes what it believes to be wrong,
and in the case of the appropriation of

uses its knife in way that is certainly
commendable. The Dispatch says: ''The

as to get a ten thousand dollar appropri-
alton to improve the campus while in
