AT END OF RAINBOW

Winona Times: Have you
thought of the expensive drain that
Montgomery, in common with the
hill counties of Central and North
Mississippi, has sustained in sup
plying citizens to develop other
sections? Our native heath, not
withstanding their limitless posi-
bilities, have been forsaken for
fields further west. Our own gold
en- opportunities have been neg
lected for opportunities none the
more golden in Oklahoma, Texas
and theDelta.
A few years ago Texas and Okla
homa were the Meccas of the home
seeking pilgrims. To many of our
aggressive ambitious young men as
they saw the attractions of these
countries alluringly pictured in the
railroad advertisements, the temp
tation to emigrate became to strong
to resist and they severed the ties
of nativity to cast their lots in the
new lands.
The drift of population to Texas
and Oklahoma has passed the ex-
perimental stage, and enough is
now known to warrant an estimate
of its justification in wisdom and
experience. Let the reader pause
for moment and make a list of all
his acquaintance who have emf
grated from this country; also make
a note of their material conditions
now at the time they moved. Now
In the light thrown on the subject
from this data, answer the follow.
ing questions:
First how many Of your friends
are in better shape now than when
they moved?
2nd. How many are in worse
shape?
3rd. Could those who are in bet
ter shape have been in equally as
good shape had they remained at
home and expended an equal
amount of energy and intelligence?
4th. Has your friend sacrificed
by his moving any pleasure or solid
comfort for himself and wife, or any
educational or moral advantages
for his children?
We believe these questions
answered dispassionately will give
the following conclusions:
Mississippi offers just as many
material advantages as any spot
under the sun and more educational
and religious advantages than many
places.
The conditions of success any
where are the application of labor
and intelligenceto the material with
which one works, and when these
conditions are met here they bear
just as much fruitage of success as
elsewhere.
The mythical sacks of gold cam
not even be found at the ends of
the rainbow that bend above the
prairies of Texas, real estate agents
and railroad folders to the contrary

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The presidents message will be
found in this issue of The News.
The salient features of the document,
as noted by the Picayune of yesterday,
are as follows:
The cost of doing government bust.
ness should be regulated with the
same rigid scrutiny as the cost of
doing private + 'siness.
Capital and labor should be pro.
tected in their rights. Wagew workers
have right to organize, but they
have no right to interfere with nom
union men who want to work.
Wherever the national government
has the power there should be a
stringent employers liability law,
which should apply to the government.
itself where the government is an EN-
ployer of labor.
The passage of law requiring the
adoption of block signal system to
prevent railway accidents is recon-
mended.
There is no objection to employees
of the government forming labor
unions, but there is grave improperly
for government employees to band
themselves together for the purpose of
extorting high salaries.
The national government alone can
deal adequately with the great corpor-
atiops.
Congress is urged to carefully con-
slider whether..the power Of the bureau
of corporations cannot constitutionally
be extended to cover interstate trans
actions. in insurance.
We mast strive to keep the high.
ways of commerce open to all on equal
terms, and to do this it is necessary
to put a complete stop to all rebates.
The city of Washington shoold be
made model for other municipalities
to follow.
The passage OF law providing fo-'
corporal Punishment for wife beaters
in the District of Columbia is sug-
gested.
The department of agriculture has
grown into an educational institution
with a faculty of 1900 specialists
making research into all the science
of production.
Additional laws should be passed
for the preservation of forests and the
I romotion of irrigation.
The attention OF congress should be
especially given to the currency
question.
The immigration laws should be
strengthened.
II this government is to maintain
its place among the nations, it is
necessary to pr ovide fer a strong
navy.
In asserting the Monroe doctrine,
in taking such steps as we have taken
in regard to Cuba, Venezuela and Pan
anna, and in endeavoring to circum-
scri be the theatre of war in the Far
East, and to secure the open door in
China, we have acted in our own in

CAUGHT" BY
JAu[qOR
Were Five Small Boys of Warner
School-Given Suspension
Notices.

That they wanted to learn their
gradings in a spelling examination
held Friday was the only excuse of
five small boys not over ten years Of
age. who were caught by the janitor
Of the Warner school building in
what he thought an attempted burg
larry yesterday evening.
The boys were led by particularly
daring member of the class and two
of them had succeeded in reaching the
interior of the building from the
school yard, the other. three lads
were preparing to scale the wall and
follow the example of the leader. 1t
happened, however, that before the
campaign was finished that the
observing custodian of the building
discovered the operations and called
halt. The janitor declared that he
first mistook the boys for thieves and
armed himself with a club before in
vestigating.
The lads were all recognized by the
janitor and when they arrived at the
building for this mornings session of
school were met with suspension no.
tices in the hands of the principal
Miss Thompson.
The lads will have to pay for their
curiosity by visit to Superintend-
ent Mott of the city schools, accom-
panied by their parents. The affair
was the chief topic of conversation
among the small students of the
building today.

pie when in the capital city always
made the Occidental headquarters.
From all reports the hotel is complete
ly Quilted and entails a loss of about
$4,000 to Mr.. McNelis, with $4,000
Insurance. There we're large num-
Der of guests in the hotel and many

their lives, but all fortunately es-
capped.

val is being shown by the towns along
the interurban lines. A representa-
tive of the Festival Association has
been placing advertising matter in
these towns the past week, and pres
ent indications are that several large
delegations will attend one or more
of the concerts. New Castle. Foun-
tain City, Hagerstown, Winchester,
Lynn, Greenville, and other towns on
the steam roads will be thoroughly
advertised and canvassed this week,
and it will not be the fault of the
Festival Association if. it is not
known that Richmond is to have a
musical festival.
Beginning toomrorw evening, all
rehearsals will be held in the Coli
scum, enabling the chorus to become
accustomed to the larger hall.
In order to avoid possible specula-
tion on the festival tickets, the direc-
tors are considering a new plan of Sc
lecting reserved seats at the time the
plat opens on the 9th, and this plan
will be announced in a few days. and
it is believed much annoyance and
dissatisfaction will be done away
with.

HEARST AND GORMAN
Reviewed by Mr.. Foulke-Cleveland
May be the Standard Bearer
Unknown Man May be
T Chosen.

Hon. William Dudley Foulke Of
this city, who has been living at
Washington during the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, will leave for Europe
on the 9Th of May By request he
prepared an interview for the Star
League which was published Sunday.
After reviewing the history of the
Democratic party, he said:
"Here, then, we must enter upon
the broad field of Democratic possibll-
tiles. 1t is possible that the party
will nominate Mr.. Hearst, who stimu-
lated through his yellow press that
spirit of anarchy that led to the as
sassination of President Mckinley. 1t
is possible that the Democracy may
seek to promote a tariff f-for-revenue-
only by the nomination of Senator
German. the man who prevented the
adoption of such a tariff under the
administration of Mr.. Cleveland, or
that it may seek to promote harmony
on the nation by adopting the medic
val appeals to race hatred by which
Mr.. German won the late campaign in
Maryland.
cit is even possible that the reluc-
tant sage of Princeton may be drag
ged forth to be the standard bearer; ;
that the man who is of all the most
satisfactory to Wall street should be
chosen to lead in the struggle for the
claims of organized labor and for the
destruction of the trusts. 1t is even
possibility that the Democracy
may thrust before the people a com
parison of Mr. Cleveland s record and
that of Theodore Roosevelt upon
these important issues. Even that
luminous object-lesson may be before
us.
"But it is still more possible thai
the Democratic party may choose fo1
its standard-bearer man without ex
perience either in legislative or ad
ministrative business. of whose opin
ions upon any subject nothing j:
known; man whose first name ant
postoffice address could not be giver
by the enthusiastic admirer wht
sounded his praise in congress fo,
it is this candidate who conforms t.
the most essential requirements of tn,
Democracy, that the nominee of tn,
party shall not have been prominent
ly identified with anything in its pas
record.'
Mr.. Foulke, in a reply to a lette
written by Chairman Gillette of tn
house committee on civil service re
form. writes him under date of Apr
IS. He defends President Roosevelt
and says "his exceptions from civi
service rules have been fewer than hi
predecessors, and that his system
much broader. Constant addition
have been made to the classified SCI
vice.
