Vote For CongresSme en-.

1t is assumed that representatives
in Congress are distributed to the
several states according to popula-
ton. This is the constitutional
provision. In providing for the
delegations to Congress in accord
ance with the last census the number
of Congressman was increased from
357, the number allowed under the
nth census, to 386. AS the number
of inhabitants in the states entitled
to representation in Congress was
1860 24, the ratio for each Con
gresham was 193,292. Assuming
that the voting population is equal
to one-fifth of the whole number of
people there should be cast for
each Congressman an average (allow-
ing for fractions as the law speci6es)
of about 10000. This according to
the last readjustment. Towards
the end of decade, as some states
increase in population much faster
than Others, there will, in the states
increasing in population most rapid
Ely, be more than the average ratio
of votes. In 1900, for instance,
Colorado with two representatives,
cast $4,000. This would be over

The crusade against cigarette
smoking is likely to result in the
passage of a drastic law to prevent
the manufacture and sale of cigar
cite material in this state. The bill
has passed one branch Of the lcgis-
lature and there is strong pressure
upon the other to act favorably on
the bill. OF course the tobacco
trust is against it but the people
generally are in favor. The ques-
ton has been under consideration in
the high schools and an investiga-
ton made to ascertain the number
of boys in the schools addicted to
the use of the weed in this shape.
The results of this investigation
show that while there are a very
few schools that do not report any
as known to be cigarette smokers in
others the number that smoke ranges
from III to 90 per cent. of the
whole. Boys that are addicted to
smoking cigarettes are reported as
incapable of doing good work.

Youtsey, who was in states pri-
son for the murder of Gov. Goebel,
is brought into court to testify
against others for completely in the
murder. Inasmuch as this man is
under life sentence for the crime
the question arises as to what in
ducement is offered him for this
testimony? Does he get his SEN
tence committed and a part of that
100000? The end of these trials
will not be found while there re-
mains any of that sum voted to find
out the conspirators.

years in prison he was set free. Up
on being released he found that his
wife had been living with another
man during all this ten years. Still
exercising the same abnegation that
induced him to take upon himself
the penalty of her crime he left his
home and children and came to

A yellow dog bit General Corbin
in the calf Of the leg at St. Louis
last Saturday and another has been
swapping and snarling at General
Miles because the General refuses to
order a court martial to try General
Funston. Herbert Welsh, certain
anti, wants Funston tried on the
charge of having killed somebody
in the Philippines instead of getting
killed. Miles says he wont, and
that's all right.

Roosevelt a Leader of Men.

President Roosevelt by spoken
and written sentiments and by the
wisdom of his public acts makes the
national life partake more Target y OF
his own strenuous determination and
advances civilization to a higher plane.
His wise and resolute direction Of
the policy suggested by the Monroe
Doctrine in the Venezuela difficulty
has advanced juster apprehension
of international civility and done
much to substitute the arbitration of
national disagreements to a tribunal
Of considerable judgment rather than
to the decision of force. The re-
suit of the "merger suits" to dis
solve the agreement between the
competing lines of the Great North
ern, the Northern Pacific and the
Burlington Railway systems, in the
interest of trade, shows that man
of conviction, judgment and action
at the head of national affairs can
'sfnd way or make one" towards
right conclusion.
His teaching in regard to the at
tainment of strong navy has taken
deep and strong hold of national
sympathy. That great navy is
convincing guaranty Of peace with
the maintenance Of honor is pro-
position easily demonstrated. In
the attainment of strong navies lies
the best assurance of the gradual
reduction of great armies, releasing
millions of strong men from useless
ness to the pursuit of useful indus
tries. In calling the convention of
the Hague to discuss the necessity
of a gradual disarmament of the
great nations of Europe the Car of
Russia inaugurated policy which
will be pursued and consummated.
Navies will make the work Of great
armies needless.
AS to America, the Monroe Doc
trine, lately emphasized with such
convincing force that Europe recog-
nizes its business and potency, will
keep the United States safe at home
and suggest the wisdom of avoiding
entanglements in useless alliances.
In regard to our Philippine policy,
the President at Sioux Falls the 9th
instant made the most specific an
nouncement yet made by authority
that meets with instant and unquali-
fled approval. Among other things
he said:
"Congress will provide for the
people of the Philippines govern
ment which will bring them bless
ings that will promote their material
interests as we'll as advance them in
the path of civilization and intelli-
gence. They will not be governed
as vassals or serfs or slaves. They
will be given a government of liber-
ty, regulated by law, honestly adj
ministered, wit h out depressing
exactions, taxation without tyranny,
Justice without bride, education
without distinction of social condi.
ton, freedom of religious worship
and protection in life, liberty anc
the pursuit of happiness"

Dustless Brooms.

The latest thing out in the
sweeping line is the "dustless
broom" made by the Milwaukee
Dustless Brush Co., of Milwau-
kee. Mr.. Mcbride, the State
Agent is in the city, stopping at
the Knight Hotel, and wants an
agent to canvass this town. These
dustless brooms sweep carpets,
mattings, rugs, linoleums, and
bare floors thoroughly clean and
aoathoaa making a aust. A large
size, made especially for school
rooms, store-rooms, and other

The public school rooms are now
being swept with these brooms at
Natchez, Jackson, Vfcksburg,
MeComb City, Brookhaven, Haz-
elhurst, Canton, Durant, Kosci-
usko, Winona, and many other
places. Prof. j. Reese Linn,
Principal of the Natchez Institute
