1.-THE RING"

In every community there are
people who are ready to talk about
"the ring" to rail against it, to res
fer to it approbiciously, sifted dswn
to its ultimate conclusion, uthe
ring" usually consists Of men who
have more or less developed genius
for management, for diplomacy, who
give their time and devote their
means to promote party or socist
welfare as they view it. In the
school district one or two men take
an acllye interest IN the schools
while the majority are dormant.
In the church society one or two
women do the work while the gen.
eral membership goes about it's
business. In the county few men
take an active interest in politics
and are wiling to work night and
day while the rest are content to get
out and vote--and very often it Is
hard 20 get them to do that. These
active workers constitute the so.
called "ring." 1t makes no diff
ference whether it is the school
district, the church, the county, the
state or nation. THE PRoG REss
does not admire close corporations,
does not like cliqucs, but If the
fellows who are externally talking
about the ssring" would do half the
work or be willing to contribute of
their time and money in the same
way as the "ringsters" they would
have more reason to complain. We
want to see the whole community
lake an interest in these things
in education, in religion, In politics.
But SO long as they do not, so long
ss there are those who are too
ethargic and too penurious and to
lull, Why the men of enthusiasm, OF
public spirit, Of generous disposition
will continue to do the work and tie
'ellow who never sacrificed dollar
% a cause or put himself to
Of trouble to secure an
md will cry out "ring," "ring."
Let us all be candid enough and
lonest enough to see that no "ring
'ould exist anywhere except by the
acit consent of the majority aud the
of leadership to men Of
ecognized ability and courage and
administrative genius. When the
'eople take the same interest there
ali be no "ring."

The Dixie Press gives the farmers

The Dixie Press gives the farmers
of Mississippi this good advice;
Pork continues high, and now is a
most opportune time for the good
farmers of Mississippi to enter the
hog business. From all indications
there will be an abundant crop Of
corn gathered this fall, and, instead
of selling the raw corn it would be
a most excellent idea to feed this
corn TO hogs and get the profits
yourself. Why not get few hogs
and try the experiment. Other
people make money fattening
them for market, and buy their
corn: and there is no reason you
could not do the same, when You
have all the corn you want right vi
your hand.

TO MANY SCHOOL TEXT
BOOKS.

I he Nashville American, In ems
dorsing the Commercial.Appeal's
editorial in favor Of fewer school
books, says:
"We give space tc the above not
as an endorsement of our contempor.
ary's structures on the school book
law nor of some of its conclusions,
hut because it SO we'll voices our
own sentiments regarding the cram>
ming system of book learning In
our public schools. As our con-
temporary says, there too many
school books used, the many tablets,
too many sads. There is too little
attention to the ESSENTIALS; necessari.
ly too much to the non essentials.
Forty years ago there were fewer
fads, fewer school books in the
pupils satchel. But the pupil knew
what was in the few books he or she
had. Today there is little of this
and little of that, and a little of
t'other, with not enough Of anything
that is of real value.
"How many good spoilers come
ont OF or public schools today?
How many children after rushing
through six or eight grades can write
a letter without having it full of
misspelled words, and absolutely
devoid of punctuation? 1t is the
same in reading, in arithmetic, in
other essentials of education.
"What is need is not more school
books in the hands of the children,
but more of what is in the books in
their heads. Popular education is
one of the bulwarks of our system
of government, but there are holes
in it that need to be patched"
The American is right: We have
too much sramming of the brains of
our children and too little attention
to the quality of what is put into
their heads.

milliner declared the hat could not be
duplicated in this country; that she
had brought it over from Paris and
would not make another like it for any
price.
The woman bought the hat on those
conditions, for she had weakness for
individual things. She has sister who
lives in Boston and who also patronizes
the same shop, though the relationship
is not known to the milliner. The 9th

How Trousers Came to BE Popular
Trousers came into use for general
wear with the French revolution. The
gentlemen, the supporters Of royalty
and sound constitutional principles,
wore breeches. The "sans culottes,"
who denounced every one who wore
breeches, finally went beyond their op-
ponents and wore twice as much cloth
around their legs-in a word, adopted
the modern trousers and made them
the badge Of a party. Napoleon, who
was too thin at one period Of his life
and too stout at another to look his
best in small clothes, nevertheless wore
them on state occasions after he had
been crowned emperor. His army was
the first that wore trousers, and they
kept progress step by step with the
march Of the French legions.
The French trousers were seen in
Egypt, in Spain, in Italy, in Germany,
in Poland and In Russia, and with
them the neat ga1ter. People thought
that the manner in which great con-
quering nation clad it's legs was the
correct model, and when the trousers
wearers marched over the wearers of
pigtails and knee breeches at Jena and
Auerstadt decision was given from
which the world did not care to ap-
peal
