Why He Kept the Lamps.

Milton II. Smith. president of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad. is known
as one of the 'hard-headed" men of bust
ness in the south. Fifteen years apo.
when the gas system for lighting railroad
cars was being introduced, an agent
called on Mr.. Smith in the interest of his
company.
After explaining the new system the
representative asked permission to fiji nm
coach. Mr.. Smith expressed himself
as doubling. the efficiency of the new
light and refused.
'Oh, WE'LL said the gas man. patron
izingly, you will have to come around
to us some day, anyway"
Never, as long as | am at the head
of this road" replied Mr.. Smith.
Smith has kept his word. and the
Louisville & Nashville road is still light
ed by the old-fashioned lamps in use
twenty years ago.

Making the Dirt Fly.

Everything at Panama is run on an
expensive and eXtravagant plan. The
Springfield Republican reports that
there is an epidemic of demands for
higher wages among the skilled white
wOrkmen. The locomotive engineers
began it with a demand for 1925 a
month. Then the steam shovel engi-
neers asked for $3.50 month, the
railroad conductors $3.50, the shovel
crane men 500, and the mOlders,
blacksmiths and machinists IS cents
an hour. No one is obliged to work
more than eight hours a day, but
many machinists, by working
overtime, are already earning $3.50 a
month, which is at the rate of $4,000
year. But that is not enough.
The government, too, seems to be at
the mercy of these skilled en-
ployes, in a large measure" ."

cost, or President Roosevelt would be

Senator f. r. Noel.

He was born and reared on a
Holmes County hill farm, moving to
Lexington, Miss, upon admission to
the bar. AS District Attorney he
served four years; as Legislator, two;
as State Senator, four; and was a Cap
tain in the 2nd Miss. Regiment in
Gen. Fitzhugh Lees Army Corps dur
ing the Spanish-American War. As
author of the primary Election Law,
of the Elective Judiciary Amendment
which received three-fourths of the
popular votes cast on that question
of Unconstitutional provision making
all State and county officers elective
for the period of four years; of the
minority report in the Legislature of
1857, protesting against the provis-
ions IN railroad charters containing
20years' exemption from taxation
and immunity from supervision of
rates; and of the taxing measure
adopted by the Legislature, closing
up the c. Q. D. Liquor business. he
ranks high as a practical reformer.
With a late start and many disadyant.
ages, and against two popular COM
petitors who had made previous races.
he received in 1903, over 24,OOO
votes for governor, to 10000 odd for
each of the other two.
Mr.. Noel is consistent member
Of the Baptist Church, a Mason. a
Knight of Honor, Knight Pythias and
Woodman of the World; he has lived
in Lexington ever since he began
the practice of law in early manhood
and is thoroughly identified with all

sissippi.-Yazoo City News.
The Lexington advertiser., 1906-10-18

In reporting the speeches of the
different gubernatorial candidates,
the Panoian had the following to say
about Hon. E. F. Noeps speech:
"Hon. E, +. Noel was the last
speaker, He has been IN sixty coun-
ties of the State, and in every one his
reception has been cordial. In ma
jority Of them he has received assur-
ances of their warm espousal of his
cause. He is learned gentlemen
and a hard student of economic ques-
tions. He has lost none of the friends
he had in the last campaign through
a change of fealty; on the contrary,
he has gained. Suffice it to say that
he made an able speech. He had no
time to discuss measures in half
hour, but he will come again, and we
will hear him at greater length"
The Lexington advertiser., 1906-10-18
DeceiVing the
People.

Speaker Cannon is deceiving the
Republican voters of the country by
declaring in his stump speeches that
the agricultural prosperity is due en-
tirely to the protective tariff. This
leads the Kansas City Star to declare
that what the people of Missouri can
not understand is why tire blessings
of the republican stand-pat doctrine
have worked 50 unequally in the sew
eral counties. What the Missouri
farmers would like to know is why the
protective tariff has brought bounti-
full harvests to the rich alluvial coun-
ties along the Missouri river and to
those of the midland prairies, while
it has done little or nothing for the
rocky, hilly counties of the Ozarks.
A point which adds to the confusion
is that the rich counties Ofgood crops
are almost all democratic, while the
poor counties that cannot raise any
thing better than Ben Davis apples
are almost without exception repub-
lican. If there had to be discrimina-
tions, it would seem that the repubh-
cans would be the benefciaries.
Of course, before Mr.. Cannon made
his speech in Kansas City it would
have been argued that the rich alluvi.
al farms produced good crops just be-
cause they were fertile, and the
mountainous counties were distin.
gulshed for nothing in particular--not
even, in many instances, for Ben Davis
apples--for the very reason they were
billy and rocky. But Uncle Joe
says that the tariff makes the farm
ers prosperous, and so, since soil and
rain and sun and climate have moth
ing to do with it, the problem must
remain unsolved-.unle it is explained
as being another instance of the way
the protective policy confers benefits
on some and imposes burdens on 9th,
ers.
The Lexington advertiser., 1906-10-18

If the administration would do some
thing to stop the tariff protected
trusts from constantly advancing
prices, there would be general rejoic-
ing. The plan adopted of fning a few
of the trusts, virtually fines the
American people, for the trusts get
even by putting up the price of their
products. The Republican plan of
standing pat, and thus dodging the
real trust issue, may have the advan-
tage of making the trusts subscribe to
campaign funds, as it leaves the road
clear for the continued plundering of
the consumers through trust high
prices.
The Lexington advertiser., 1906-10-18
Noel a Winner.

Those who have observed the trend
of political affairs in Mississippi, can
not help seeing that Noel has gained
more votes in the past three weeks,
than any of the other candidates.
In fact, Noel will be the States next
Governor. And no man in the State
deserves the honor more than he.
He has spent the best years of his life
in the service of the people-many of
the States best laws bear the i'm
prints of his hands. No man doubts
his honesty or faithfulness, and a
grateful people will be glad to honor
him. New Albany Gazette.
The Lexington advertiser., 1906-10-18


The Chicago Record-Herald says
that Treasurer Congressman McKin-
ley admits that the $l,0O contribu-
tions to the Republican campaign
fund are less than $4,000. He de-
clared, however, that this was amply
ply sufficient to wage a campaign in
all the necessary congressional dis
tricts this year" If that amount is
sufficient, why are the trusts and cor
porations being called upon for con-
tributions, and why are the office
holders being assessed?
The Lexington advertiser., 1906-10-18
The administrator
and Wall Street.

The extraordinary measures of the
United States Treasury to aid the
frenzied fnanciers of Wall Street,
will only give temporary relief. The
gold forced from abroad by paying a
premium for it there, will return to
Europe if the balance of trade de-
mands it in settlement. The $780,
100000 loaned to the selected and
therefore favored banks, will have to
be returned to the Treasury, or more
bonds will have to be sold to replen-
ish the balance in the Treasury and
80 help out Wall Street. A sound fl
nancial policy would not have required
the late sale of Panama bonds and
thus saddle the people with an inter-
est bearing debt, when millions were
on deposit in the banks not drawing
any interest. A business man who
issues bis notes drawing interest while
he had large balance at his bankers
which was earning no return, would
be thought NON COMPos MENTIs, and
his friends would ask that a guardian
be appointed to prevent him from
squandering his property. p
Why does Secretary Shaw, Presi-
dent Roosevelt COnsenting, take this
loose and unbusiness like course?
The only answer can be that the Wall
Street influence in Republican cOun-
ellis is more influential than the inter-
osts of the people. The Rockefeller
influence has been all-powerful. while
the people have had no friend at
court The accredited agent of the
Rockefeller banking interests, can be
seen daily at the United States Treas
ury consulting and advising with the
officials and even ordering them what
to do, and all that is done favors the
Rockefeller interest. The division of
the $26,0OO,0O0 just loaned to the
favored banks all over the country, is
really loaned to the Wall Street in
stitutions, for the high rates for
money there will force the money to
that center, or the banks receiving it
will not draw the money that they
have on deposit in the Wall Street
banks or loaned on call, which will
virtually allow the Wall Street specu-
lators to use the money just deposit
ed with the banks.
The United States Treasury was
never intended to become an adjunct
of Wall Street to bolster up its most
dlsreputable spectators, but under
Republican management that is what
1t has come to and yet the present
Administration processes to be re-
formers of abuses.
