4 am now well satisfied with the
inebriate law in many respects"
said County Attorney Hammill Of
Hancock county yesterday. 81 be-
lieve the object of it is a good one
and that it has accomplished great
deal. / believe. however, it should
be modified in some important
particulars. In the first place, the
|inebriate should not be confined,
with the insane. A separate institu-
ton should be provided by the
state. Then, too, the inebriates
should be required to engage in
some form Of activity that would tend
to make them help pay ortheir sup
port. ] think some kind Of congenial
occupation could be found and it
would andoubtedly bea benefit to the
inebriates themselves to be- kept
busted at something instead Of be
ing allowed to lie idle.I think the
law has had some good effects, though
it has not been SO successful in all
particulars as many Of Its friends
hoped for. AS a matter Of fact,
many ofthe men now committed
under the law are hopelessly
degenerate and it is difficult to bene-
fit them. In some states this class is
not SO committed. On the whole,
however, / think it best to commit
all classes of the inebriates, as even in
the worst cases some benefit can be
had by good treatment.

Cordova the streets are mostly very
narrow and the houses tall, sometimes
six or seven stories. The streets are
often so narrow that horse vehicles are

being painfully lugged up the narrow

A Bath Room on the Farm.

If there is any man who can get
the full benefit of a daily bath at this
season of the year it is the farmer
who has followed the cultivator all
day. He comes in hot, prespiring at
every pore and with his body covered
with dust. You have been there,
friends (and SO have y, and you
know how it is better than we can
tell you. Wouldn't it be nice after
feeding the horses to go to the house
and step into bath tub full Of cool
water, or get under a shower spray?
Wouldn't it be equally agreeable to
the women folks and to the boys and
girls? Why not have things fixed so
you can do this? You can Just as well
as not. All that is necessary is a
tank either in the top Of the house or.
barn or ina tower outside, little
plumbing in the house and drain
leading away. The last will depend
upon local conditions, the size Of the
house, the extent Of the plumbing,
etc. It will run from $75 to $500
or more. To fit up a bath room
alone will cost very little, but while
you are about ityou might as well do
the job right and put in closet,
stationary wash bowls, and hot and
cold water in the kitchen. It is
a shame the way most of our women
folks have to get along without con
veniences they are entitled to.
Begin to plan now for plumbing
the house as soon as harvest is over.
You are entitled to all the good
things you can afford and this is7onet

Was Not Mckinley Right7

Fl Z Il tss 4 /. /.
Mr.. Fa0s Schuster, a governor
of the Union Bank Of London, in a
speech made in that city on Wednes-
day, stated that he had private
interview with the late President
Mckinley two years age" in which
the latter said:
My tariff bill has done it's work.
We have been able to builds.p
many great industries in a short,
time, and now gradually but in
evitably our tariff must be reduced
This is consistent with Mr.. Nc
Kinley's last and greatest speech, in
which he said that "the period Of
exclusiveness is past" argued for
reciprocity and intimated that duties
which had served their purpose and
were not too high should be reduced.
1t is perfectly demonstrable that
Mr.. Mckinley was right if he said
that his tariff bill the continuation
and climax of the protective system
had "done its work" The avowed
end and aim Of this system, accord
ing to its advocates ahundred years
ago, when our industries were really
infants, was to develop and establish
manufactures in the United States
by shutting out foreign competition.
SO that they might become strong
and independent.
Are they not so? We are making
iron and steel more cheaply than
they can be made anywhere else in
the world. Mr.. Schwab has admitted
it under examination. Our manfact-
urers have undersold English com
petitors not only in their own mark
cts but in Asia and Africa. Mr..
Blaine certified as Secretary of State
twenty years ago that the labor cost
in cotton goods was less in the
United States than in Great Britain
1t may be said without fear Of. sue
cessful contradiction that there is
mot one Of our important industries
that needs tariff above one-half
the present rate to protect it ade-
puately against foreign competitionin
the home market.
Conceding, as we are quite ready
to do, that protective duties have
helped potentially in the develop
ment Of American industries even
4 though at undue cost to the consum-
ers-was not Mr.. Mckinley right
in saying that snow gradually but
inevitably our tariff must be reduc-
