note and Comment

lie reception accorded 10 ". J. Bryan in New York City Thur sday of last week on his return from years trip abroad was doubtless the greatest ever accor- ded to any private American citi- zen. In his address on that oc- .casion MT. Bryan declared in fav- or of federal and state ownership of railroads and said the trust question would be the paramount issue in the approaching cam- paign. After his reception in New York MT. Bryan made a short trip through Connecticut and other eastern states, and was everywhere received with great est enthusiasm. He will visit St. Louis Tuesday of next week and deliver an address.
 The St. Louis Globe Democrat printed its report of the recep- tion to w. J. Bryan on the sec ond page under small heading. The next day, on first page un- der big head lines, 1t endeavored to show that much dissatisfac- tion existed among the leaders of the Democratic party as re- suit of MT. Bryan's ideas advan- ced in his New York speech. In the same issue of the C. D. were exactly fourteen editorials on Bryan, the Bryan reception etc, all of which indicate to LIS that Mir. Bryan k proving a source of worry to at least one Republican newspaper. T he Globe Democrat has probably forgotten the time few years back when 1t dismissed Mir. BrY- an as being a dead duck.

Cheap Enough.

Returning from the session OF the
Southern Cotton Association, which re-
quired travel to and from and three
days expense in New Orleans, the legls'
lative committee reported an individual
expense account OF $11.75 each. There
was no contest, no talk of scandal, no
inquiries as to whether any wine had
been indulged in, or gold bricks pur-
chased out of the account. On the con-
trary several of the members who did
not go set about very solicitous IN
quiries to the members of the com
mittee. The question was, "How dld
you do it?" Railroad fare, three days
in New Orleans and an expense account
of $l1.75 was such an extraordinary
comparison of financial statistics that
it created a hubbub, and the members
of the committees who have been de-
tailed on junkets to the several State
institutions are wondering what will
happen to their expense accounts when
they are submitted. These latter COM
mites are often the guests OF the in
stitutions that they visit and have less
of natural expense than were they
visiting "a city like New Orleans, and
they are now fearful as to the result
by comparison when they submit ex-
Dense accounts.

Il liked Grape-Nuts food from the be-
ginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that
was able TO leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied

My neighbors were amazed to see me

when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone
had brought the change.

bad. last spring, and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and

) MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
SANDY BAYOU LEASE VALID.
So Hold Judges Calhoun and Truly
of the Supreme Court.

The supreme court has spoken in the
celebrated Sandy Bayou case. While
Justices Calhoun and Truly hold the
lease valid they arrive at their conclu-
sions from different viewpoints.
Judge Calhoun held that there was
no law at present either against the
Sandy Bayou lease made by majority
of the board of control, or to warrant
Gov. Vardaman in causing injunction
proceedings. If the law had been vio-
lated the attorney general. as the legal
adviser of the State, was the officer to
institute the proceedings on behalf OF
the State.
Judge Truly held that the question
at issue was the legality OF the contract
of the board of control. He then re-
viewed the whole lease which had
caused the trouble, and concluded by
agreeing with Judge Calhoun as to the
logical conclusion, which was in effect
sustaining the Sandy Bayou lease, and
incidentally throwing the appellee out
of court.
The minority opinion was read by
Justice Whitfield, who dwelt particu-
larly with regard to the right OF the
governor in bringing the action, hold
ing that there was no other course to
pursue if he thought that the interests
of the people were at stake, and it was
plainly obvious that the attOrney-gen-
eral, as one of the parties to the con-
tract. could not consistently appear as
plaintiff against himself.
