NUMBER 30
GOVERNOR VARDAMAN SUG0ESfSLX
NEW PLAN TO THE PEOPLE. -

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 29.-Gov-
ernor Vardaman wrote letter to
the Memphis officer of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society this
evening refusing to pay a premium
due on a policy. In this letter the
Governor said:
81 shall not pay this premium,
but rather think that | shall per-
nit the policy to forfeit and be-
come void. l do not care to con-
tribute any more to the gayety Of
that crowd of robbers, thieves and
marauders who seem to infest tho
Equitable in New York.
"The policy is only a year old,
and have but little to lose by sur
rendering it at this time"
In explaining his position about
the matter the Governor said, in an
interview, that he strongly favored
the suggestion Of organizing South
ern insurance companies. He said
81 think also that the state should
take a hand in helping the organ
ization Of such companies. Life
insurance is solely for the protec.
tion Of widows and orphans, and a
State could not do better than assist
in the organization and supervision
of companies for perfecting this
protection, cheapening the rate Of
insurance and enabling those who
would other wise be destitute to
educate theirchildren to the highest
types Of manhood and womanhood.
II think" continued the Gov
ernor, that every Southern man
ought to cease patrOnizing these
monster insurance trusts that
are fattening every day of
the millions drained out Of the
South, and are using this very

While railroad legislation is a
reform that should be secured for
the benefit of the public generally,
there are many millions of people
earning salaries and wages who do
not suffer directly by the discrimi-
native practices of the railroad, but
who want cheaper food and neces-
saries Of all sorts. The Washing
ton Post predicts that the time is
not distant when they will become
clamorns, "and If that clamor
should be heard in the land one
year from now the Sixtieth Con-
gress will be Democratic in the
House Of Representative, and the
tariff will be as paramount as an
issue in 1908 as it was in 1892. :"
The Post says this will mean fat
frying days Of tribulation for the
Republican party and period of
hope for the Democratic party.
However if the people are dissatis
fed with conditions that have made

PROHIBITION VS. TEMPERANCE.

Fourteen American states have
a. various times enacted prohibition
laws. Maine, Kansas and North
Dakota are the only ones which
still retain them. Does that mean
that the people Of the country are
sinking in a besotted mire Of alco-
holismi Far from it. There has
been as F. Foxcroft points ont in
his article upon 1.-THE Drift away
from Prohibition" in the current
Atlantic, a great Improvement in
the habits of the American people
at large as regards temperance
Mr.. Foxcroft presents another
striking fact with regard to the
states which have retained prohibi-
tion. They have today . popnla-
ton Of only 13 to the square mile
while the states which have aban-
doned prohibition have q population
Of SO to the square mile. In the
prohibition states IA per cent Of the
population live in cities. In the
states which have abandoned pro-
hibition 36 per cent live in cities.'--

SOUTHERN PACIFIC EXTENSION.

Baton Rouge, La, Sept. 81
The Southern Pacific Railroad,
which has been very active of late
at this end of its proposed Lafayette
and Baton Rouge line, has now
begun work on the other end Of the
line, and the Committees on Right
of Way in Lafayette and st. Mar
tin Parishes are taking steps to
complete the work Of securing the
right of way for the road.
This work would have been CON-
pleted before this If the quarantine
had not interfered. AS much work
as it is possible to do under the
present conditions in securing the
right of way will be done.

rMe GROWING COST OF LIVING.

Senator Dolliver, Of Iowa, a
State in which the sentiment for
tariff revision is qnite strong, does
not think there will be any changes
10 the present schedules made dur
the coming session Of Congress,
but he expresses the opinion that
there will be legislations regulating
railroad rates along the lines re-
commended by President Roosevelt
and this Notwithstanding there are
a great many Republicans in Iowa
who believe the present tariff sched-
ules are q greater injury to the
people than the railroad discrimi-
nations and abuses which they have
suffered.
Most Of the people ia Iowa are
Republicans, and they, as well as
the leaders Of their party, have OBJ
served that the cost of living is
steadily advancing in spite of the
fncf that the present harvest is the
most b0nntifnl the State has ever
yielded. The same fact has been
1oted by the people in every section
q The country. Men who work
for salaries and those who labor
for wages find each passing week
the struggle harder to make their
incomes meet the cost of living.
The prices ofthe necessaries OF life
are all the time increasing, while
there is no corresponding increase
Of salaries aud wages. No politi-
cal exigency now exist to make the
Bureau Of Labor juggle with the
statistics, there is no Rough Rider
to be elected Presid hence it ad-
mits that the cost of living is con.
stantly increasing and the masses
Of the people are being hard pushed
70 meet that cost.

than their incomes the remedy
which will bring relief is in their
own hands. 1t is useless for them
to expect any relief so long as they,
by means of their votes, keep in
power political party under which
great combines have been fostered
that control the nations food sup
ply and all the other neccessaries
for which exorbitant prices are ex-
acted. Our Washington contem-
porary asserts that when the Amer
lean people make up their minds
'sthey can turn on the political
stage as rapidly as French dane
ing master in ballroom" If
this be true, then it is high time
for the people to do some turning
for it is quite certain that they are
not going to obtain any relief from
the present high cost of living
from the standpatters who are in
Congress as the representatives of
special interests that dominate the
Republican national party and are
determined there shall be no inter-
ference with the iniquitous tariff
schedules under the shelter of which
they lay a heavy tribute upon the
toiling men and women of the
corNtry, Our esteemed Washing
ton contemporary, however, is con
vinced that if relief from existing
conditions does not soon come, the
people, as they did in 1892, will
rise up aud smash the tariff system
aud rebuild it. This is a privilege
the American people have the
power to exercise, and they will
have an opportunity to do some
very effective smashing at the polls
In 1906 and 1908. , If in those
years they smash standpatism good
and hard let us hope that they will
also take the necessary advance
stepA to prevent the Germans of
the Senate from cheating them out
Of the fruits of their victory over
greed and extortion.-N. O. States

der which they have suffered.

MANS SKEETER ARMOR.


theory of yellow fever transmission
is Mr.. Clarence Mof1itt, station
agent of the V. s. and Z. read al
| Tallulah, La, where the disease
has been very virulent for the past
few weeks, and large number of
deaths have occurred.
| MIR. Moffitt's s unique method of
protection against the sting of the
stegomyia is now a subject of gen
eral talk among the station agents
and train employees on the Queen
and Crescent system, and his
unique appearance has caused
much comment among the passen-
gers on trains passing through the
fever stricken town.
When the fever appeared at Tai
| lulah Mr.. Moffitt consented to re-
main at his post of duty, as all
good railroad men do in times of
trouble. However, he was very
much averse to having case of
yellow fever, aud had no yearning
whatever to become an immune.
Placing implicit confidence in
what the doctors had to say about
transmission of the disease,
through mosquito bites, Mr.. Mof-
fit Immediately designed a costume
that would render himself secure
against insect attacks. This raj
ment consisted of suit Of buck
skin clothing, fringed and trapped
Ill typical Indian style, and fitted
so close to the form that mosquito
invasion through the usual aper-
lures is absolutely impossible.
Thus fortified for the body, Mof-
fit protected his hands by putting
on a thick pair of gloves, which he
wears constantly. On his head he
wears broad -brimmed hat draped
from which is yelling of mos
quito bar weighted down with small
shot, and looped in such manner
that mosquito could not get
through with a search warrant
The only drawback to this cos
tune at firsr was the gloves, which
prevented Mof1itt from manipula-
ing the telegraph key with his usual
CELEBRITY, but by patient practice he
has overcome this impediment, and
the gioved fingers now rattle off
the dots and dashes quite briskly.
The buckskin clothing is rather
heavy for the Tallulah climate, but
Moffitt wisely argues that he would
rather be hot live body than
cold corpse, and has grown accus-
tuned to the physical discomfort
involved Swarms of mosquitoes
may hover about his head, but he
gives them no heed, calm in the
knowledge that they cannot pene-
trate his armor regardless of the
length of their bills. 1t is said that
Moffitt is the only man in Tallulah
who can look a stegomyia in the
face without trembling.
When retiring at night Moffitt
gets inside the mosquito canopy
that envelopes his bed before un-
dressing, and in the morning again
dons bis buckskin suit, gloves and
yelling before venturing ont of the
bar
The queer costume has been
been made subject Of much ridi-
cule among Tallulah citizens, many
of whom do not believe in the mos
quito theory, but the wearer has
seen quite number of persons
buried who scoffed at his costume,
and he has decided to stick to the
buckskin until frost appears.
