The Wesson Enterprise is again pub
1ishing some excellent matter descrip-
tive of the town and surrounding COM
munity. The last issue contained cuts
of a number of enterprises and buildings
of the town. Editor Robertson sends
hundreds of these papers to people in
the North, East and West. The pro-
iect has proven successful so far and he
promises to continue in the good work.
All that Mississippi needs at present is
publicity of the proper kind, and the
Enterprise is furnishing the kind that
will do good. 1t is a good thing; push
it along.

board has been cOnvoked to revise the
so-called Endicott plan for coast de-
Tense. 1t is believed that some of the
lessons learned by our military OBJ
servers in the orient will be very valll-
able II remodeling OF the fortifica-
tons of this country Is to be made.
Adequate coast defense vessels are also
to be considered.
Among other things that have been
under consideration by the joint army
and navy board, is the proposition TO
do away with the submerged mine as
q means of harbor defense and to sub
stitute for it the newest submarine
boat This suggestion has been made
by the naval members of the board,
but no decision has been reached. Tne
army members will probably insist
that the submerged mine be retained.
The experience off Port Arthur and in
the battle of the Sea of Japan IL is
argued teaches the virtue of this old
style of defense
The army officers contend that the
submarine boat is still In an expert
mental stage, despite the report that II
did good execution in the last fight
between the Russian and Japanese
fleets. They believe that the final re-
port OF that engagement will show
that much of the destruction attrib-
uted to submarine boat operations was
effected by floating mines skillfully
placed by Admiral Togo While the
submarine boat is likely to occupy a
prominent and an increasingly IN
portant place in the plans of the coast
defense IL is probable that the joint
board will decide in favor of the sub
merged mine. There mines may be
placed in certain and known positions,
which may be avoided by the home
fleet, and which may be controlled by
the observers on shore

Mr.. Christy has found rich field

he does not leave behind him the cares
OF ONCE nor does he lay aside con-
sideration of the great questions that
demand his attention. In one way he
gets relief at Oyster Bay, and that is
the restriction there naturally Is upon
the number of his daily callers. The
executive Offices are located in the
village Of Oyster Bay, some two or
three miles away from the presidents
own home. In those Offices Secretary
Loeb conducts the routine business.
and occasionally the president calls
and looks over some papers, but most
Of the business is carried by the sec.
rotary to Sycamore Hill, where the
president can attend to 1t untroubled
by persistent visitors.
This will be a very busy season with
Mr.. Roosevelt, and he will have many
questions to determine before congress
meets. At his country home he will
take up the study of the tariff and
reach decision as to whether he will
recommend that congress undertake a
remodeling OF the schedules. In the
comfortable quarters OF his summer
residence he will meet such men as
Senator Aldrich, Senator Burrows, Sen
ator Allison. Congressman Payne, and
others who are admittedly experts on
this question, and will confer with
them upon the tariff. Between his
holiday diversions the president will
give attention to the railway rate ques-
ton. II is not unlikely that from the
humble village of Oyster Bay Will also
issue orders and decisions that will
have an important bearing upon inter
national AFFAIRS
With all the time he viii devote to
public matters, however, the president
will still be able to enjoy a vacation
and the outdoor pastimes of which he
is so fond. His home at Sycamore
Hill offers full facilities for such in
dulgeDnes.

Profits Of the Packers.

There has been great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent. of the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt. however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
tion. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted, on
q smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of 81 -four and
grist mills in Illinois. in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent. on the
volume of business. The gross margin
of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments in ILL
nois was only about one-third as large,
or little more than two per cent. on
the volume Of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in trust" and combina-
tons would seem impossible in busi-
ness where there are several thousand
mills In the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but it ap-
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits of
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearipg> the pig: "All
sQueal and no WOOL"

which the president discusses naval
and military matters in the mi
nutest detail is a matter OF won
der to the experts In both serv-
Ices 1t Is not more wonderful, how
ever, than the thoroughness with
which he masters questions in every
department OF the government. His
recent conduct of state affairs with
out the Intervention of the secretary
of state is one of the surprises of his
administration. He entered upon the
delicate peace negotiations between
Russia and japan with the assurance
and tact of an old trained diplomat.
In all his varied lines OF public
activity, Mr.. Roosevelt probably takes
fairs than In anything else. He has
written a history Of the navy, knows
its traditions, and is acquainted with
It's development, from the old wood
en- frigate to the modern battleship as
well as any of the most experienced
naval officers. His study of the navy
has borne practical fruit, and his
theories rut into use have made tle
United States navy the most effective
In the world. The principal of these
theories Is that the man behind the
gun is the main dependence In Il naval
conflict. While assistant secretary of
the navy he insisted that the men
must be taught how to shoot, and that
government money could be expended
in no better way than In purchasing
powder and shells for target practice.
The system Of target practice that ne
inaugurated enabled the American gun
ners to win the great naval victories
In the war with Spain.

That Rheumatism can be cured has been

Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad,
all her acquaintance know. They also
know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney

of her cure as follows:
II was an invalid for most FIVE years
caused by lnfammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The first
year l could not do as much as q baby
could do; then l rallied little bit and
then q relapse. Then year ago the
govt set in my hands and feet. l suffered
untold agony and in August, 1903, when
my husband died, l could not ride to the
grave.
