Yesterday, in accordance with an
early autumn ruling of the commits
sioner of internal revenue. there
went into effect the new regulation
which requires manufacturers of
patent medicines and beverages
containing an excessive amount of
alcohol, to take out licenses. This
j. a rule that Is under national and
mot state authority. It applies to
the venders as we'll as to the manu-
facturers, but IN the cities and larg-
er towns druggists generally have
licenses granted by the local intern
al revenue officers to sell liquor.
The country groceries that deal In
proprietary medicines will have to
take-out such licenses or discontin-
he the business. It looks as though
this new policy might be product
i've Of problems for some OF the
prohibitory states and the no-li-
cense towns In states where local
option i In force. It Is, we believe,
statistical fact, that the best

which alcohol is the basic ingredi-
ent, are found In such states and
towns, but this ruling of the com
missioner s Office puts a new face on
the matter. The payment of the
internal revenue tax Is hereafter to
be prima facia evidence that the
compound to which 1t applies Is
primarily alcoholic, even though it
may also be medicinal, and the in
ference in such cases would be that
it was largely bought more for its
alcoholic than its medicinal proper
ties. It Is about time that many Of
these uostrums ceased to appeal to
the public under false colors. If at
any time the human condition needs
alcohol and has doctors authority
for 1t, there are more direct and
safer forms in which It can be tax
en- than when mixed with disguis-
Ing drugs.-Boston Transcript.

The Reveille Is asked to copy the
following article which appeared In
an Indiana paper, in order that in

Warren S. Waite, of r5s Hamil-
ton avenue, last Saturday received
word of the death by drowning OF
his son, Frank, in the Mississippi
river by the capsiziug Of a sailboat.
The accident occurred November
28th near a small place called Avon,
Miss. The upset was caused by
the sail blowing over against the
mast, as they were trying to effect
a landing in a stiff, south wind and
strong current. Waite's compan-
ion, Everett Shaw, of Massachu-
sets, was In the boat at the time.
They started to swim to the shore,
half a mile distant.
After few minutes Shaw said to
Waite: ST can't make ii am 60
ing back to the boat. Resting on
the upturned boat few minutes
he saw Waite about 600 feet away,
also facing the boat, as if to swim
back to it. Shaw spying a board
three feet long beyond the boat
swan for it, intending to paddle
ashore by its aid. Reaching the
boat once more he looked for Waite
but failed to see him.
As Shaw's strength was giving
out be was rescued by Joseph Da-
Wis, of Caryola, Ark. Warren S.
Waite has had a description Of his
sons personal appearance, also an
account of the accident sent to Ger
tain officials of the counties along
the river from the scene of the dis
aster to New Orleans. He has also
offered reward for the recovery of

The fund derived by the Missis.
sippi conference Of the Methodist
church from the sale of the build
ing site Of the East Mississippi Fe.
male College at Meridian, destroyed
by FIRE several years ago, and
amounting to SRI. 500, will again be
a subject of lively controversy at
the Closter conference.
From delegates who were at the
capital to-day en- route to Gloster
it was LEANED that proposition will
be presented from Meridian to the
effect that if the conference will set
aside this sum Of $II, 500. an equal
amount will be raised by Meridian
citizens to be used in rebuilding a
Methodist college for young ladies
in that city.
This proposition will mean the
re-opening of a question already
settled, as the board of trustees of
the East Mississippi College donat-
ed this fund of ST.. 500. derived
from the sale Of the old site, to the
Millsaps College. epdowment fund.
It was at that time subject of
lively controversy, but the decision
was reached that the trustees had
the legal right to take this step, al
though some members of the clergy
questioned the existence of a moral
right to do so.
At any rate, while the discussion
Of the matter may be quite lively,
it is not believed that Millsaps Col
lege viii be deprived of the fund,
and it is the consensus Of opinion
among the church leaders that Mis-
sissippi Methodism needs better
colleges and not more colleges; that
all efforts should be concentrated
in the improvement of existing IN
stitutions instead of building new
colleges. Jackson Correspondent,

College, in the conference. should
have received the proceeds from the
sale of this property. The money
was donated for female education,
and after the burning of the Merid-
ian school it should have gone to
the other needy schools for girls.
The education of girls, according
to our way of thinking, is more i'm
portant than that of boys. They
are the ones to whom we must look
for the upbuilding of humanity.
