spread of the drivers strike today. The

the leaders as to whether the strike
of the -four teamsters should be imi-
tated. 1t was said that conferences
of the teamsters' union officials and
representatives Of the Crane company
would be held in hope of averting a
new strike upheaval.
The Crane company gives employ

rectly through its mills. foundries and
warehouses.
While the strike was today assuming
a more threatening attitude the en-
ployers' teaming company is becoming
increasingly aggressive. Today 1.S0o

"LAUGH AND GROW FAT"

Life is such a serious business with
the average mortal that an opportunity
for hearty laugh is more than welcome
to most people. "a merry heart doeth
good like medicine" and so do the
humorous features Of that great metro
politan journal, the Chicago Record
Herald. The first thing that greets you
on the first page of every issue is the
humorous cartoon by Ralph Wilder, the
well-known artist, that frequently tells
more at glance than could be conceiv-
ed in a column of reading matter. Eve
rv issue contains also humorous
small story on the editorial page, and
the "Alternating Currents" column,
written by s. E. Kiser, one OF the most
popular humorous writer's in the coun-
try. In addition to all these, the SUNDAY
issue always includes a comic section,
guaranteed to produce laughter.

Week before last The Echo took oc-

of the quarantine situation and, as an
incident in mind, dwelled on the fact
that Gulfport, the very first of the
Mississippi Gulf Coast communities to
announce to the world that "no quaran-
tine" would be maintained or even in
stituted against the city of New Or
leans. was the first soon after to an
nounce that the most rigid quarantine
regulations would be enforced. We took

well in this case, for where there is no
venom our confreres would have it SO,
by styling The Echo's editorial item as
an unjust, ard uncalled for attack upon
Capt. J. T. Jones. The Echo has no dis
position to enter upon discussion at
this time which would lead to an endless
and ultimately useless controversy, for we
we'll know Captain Jones by reputation,
personally and by his works. No sane
man can question his sincerity, but that

THE VANDERBILT FAMILY.

Reginald Vanderbilt was lately sum-
moned for grand jury duty; instead of
failing to honor the summons, as many
wealthy men do, he respondediwith deter
mination to do duty to the common
wealth as faithfully at two dollars per
diem as if receiving a thousand dollars
day for his service. Notwithstanding
their great wealth and display in cree
ton and maintenance of magnificent
homes and other ways, there is de-
mocracy in the Vanderbilt family that
now and then comes to the surface and
shows the family to be of substantial,
democratic stock.-The Greenville Dem
ocrat.
That reminds us of an incident re-
lated to us by the late Hon. q. r. Sim
gleton, who so long represented Missis-
sippi IN Congress, and. as chairman OF
the committee on library in the House,
had the honor of reporting tine bill for
the construction of the Congressional
Library building, the handsomest gov
ernment structure in the world. He was
the intimate friend of several of the
vanderbilts, and on one occasion was
guest at a family dinner given by the
old commodore. The table was pre-
sided over by widowed daughter OF
the rough, but hospitable founder of the
millionaire race, who, OF course. is en-
titled to be nameless in this connection,
and she was exhibiting the graces Incl
dent to culture and education when the
old ferryman blurted out:
"Madam! You are putting on
id sight too many airs. | knew
your mother when she was nothing but
a steamboat cook, and id poor
cook at that,'-Aberdeen Examiner.

The port of Gulfport will soon be the
harbor of the largest fleet of revenue
cutters ever seen together in South
ern seaport. The following cutters have
been ordered by the treasury depart
ment to report here to Capt. NJ. G. Ross {:
Hamilton, from Port Tampa; Seminole,
from Wilmington; Forward, from Key
West; Alert, from Mobile; and proba-
bly, the Penrose, from Pensacola. The
fleet will be used in the quarantine
service under orders of DR.. Eugene

and Captain Ross, commander of the
revenue cutter service. The small cut
ters will take the place of the Grace and

The Farm separator.

The plan OF having small separators
on the farms and sending only the
cream to the factory is now quite COM
mon and on the increase. The skim
milk is thus made available at once for
feeding and is warm. sweet and not
adultefated with factory washings,
says the wisconsin Agriculturalist.
The cream only needs to be cared for
and delivered at the factory. making
quite a saving in labor of transporta-
ton. The cream gathering plan will do
away with the return to the farm Of
the contents of u filthy skim milk tank
that contaminate milk cans and endan-
ger the lives of calves and pigs. The
chance of young stock taxing disease
that may be OH distant farm, the
germs Of which may be delivered to
the creamery and carried away in the
skim milk to other farms, Is avoided.
Any system which does away with
the seemingly useless labor of handling
eight or ten pounds for the delivery OF
one will be most welcome. In the sea-
son of bad roads it is difficult to carry
large loads of cans, and sometimes it
is impossible to transport milk to the
creamery when cream alone might be
carried: Besides the advantage of hav-
ing to haul only small amount In
stead of large amount, 1t is an ad-
vantage to have cream removed on the

INCORPORATE YOUR BANK.

The failure of private bank in Iowa
within the past week and that of an
other private bank in Norstand, Min
nesota. on Wednesday of this week,
merely reiterates the warning that is
being given to the banking fraternity,
and to the public that the day of pri-
waite banking is past. In an age in
which no careful business man will
permit his family to go without the
provision for support in event of his
death which life insurance affords, no
ght-thinking person can justify
{ system Of banking which places the
responsibility of a bank entirely upon
the financial life Of a single man.
AS has been shown in these columns
depositors in private banks are merely
loaning their money to the private
banker without security. So long as
the banker has property he is good for
the return Of the money when demand
ed. II he uses the money thus en-
trusted to him in any kind Of a bust
ness venture that fails his bank fails
and depositors' money is gone. In
case he dies there il the controversy
between creditors and heirs as to who
shall get the estate.
The wonder is that so many private
bankers are safe and sound, but in
their own protection and for the sake.
OF abandoning system so faulty with
defects, these men should do as the
banks of Franklin county have Just
done; incorporate, distribute the re-
sponsibility among several, bring
themselves voluntarily under state SUI
pervision and add the security of
stockholders double liability and that
OF invested capital as protection for the
money depositors loan to them. The
state legislature should then go after
the others who refuse to adopt all
obvious reform.
