The Amazon is the king of streams
From first to last it receives over 1900
tributaries, of which more than 100 are
large sized rivers and rise SO far apart
and have their floods and GIBBS at such
different seasons that the Amazon Is at
about the same height the year around
At some points on it's lower course one
bank is invisible from the other. The
beholder seems to be looking on great
yellow sea of fresh water. When dis
covered, some tribes Of Indians ON the
lower portion knew nothing of the ex-
istence Of the opposite shore and did
not believe that 1t existed, saying that
'the great river flowed all around the
world" Its mouth, including that of
the Para, is $50 miles in width, and it
Is navigable for large sized ocean
steamers for 1000 miles from the sea,
and so vast is the food that the ocean
Is tinged yellow for 400 miles from the
coast Of Brazil

The Achaean League.

The Achaean league was formed by
the twelve towns of Achaea for mu-
tual protection against foreign aggres-
sion. 1t was broken up by Alexander
the Great, but reorganized B. C. $50
and again dissolved B. G. lat. The
second of these leagues comprised all
the leading cities of the Peloponnesus
and, indeed, most of the cities and
states of Greece. 1t was this league
which contended with the Romans for
the independence Of Greece; but, its
troops being defeated by Metellus at
Scarphaea and by Mummius near Cor
inth, the league was dissolved, and all

As noted exclusively in the HERALD
last week, a formal protest has been
made by residents of the agency. The
following is Washington dispatch,
dated February 10Th:
"a delegation from the Blackfeet
agency comprised of Messrs. Perrin,
Brown and Kipp are here protesting
against the senate bill opening the
strip on the south side of the resery-
alton along Birch creek. They say
they are anxious to have the whole
reservation allotted and opened, but
are unalterably opposed to the Senate
bill. 1t is understood that the Indian
office has made an unfavorable report
on the measure since hearing the
views of the delegations.

CHILD LABOR.

A committee of Mississippi cot
ton manufacturers is in jackson
offering opposition to the child
labor bill which has been asked
of the legislature by the Kings
Daughters, the Federation Of
Woman's Clubs and the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
Owing our own prosperity to
the best developments of the South
and recognizing the cotton manu-
facturer as one of the chief medi-
ums of this development his inter-
ests are very near and dear to us;
but the protection of the children
of the South, whether they be
those of labor or of wealth, is of
higher consideration than any ma
terial benefit.
Besides, there is a public econo-
my in protecting childhood from
overwork which challenges the
alleged material benefit derived
from the labors of children. 1t is
conceded that the manufacturers
profits are temporarily enhanced
through child labor. 1t is ac-
knowledged that there are isolated /
cases where the labor of the child
seems essential to the maintenance
of the parent; but in the great
round up of nations prosperity
these petty advantages sink into

years the bosses of the Republi-
can party.
He became president in the first
place by accident; be was elected
in the second place on account of
personal popularity.
1t has been many years since
individuality has cut so consider
able a figure in the election of a

He is therefore President, not
a protege.
The upshot of it all is that there
Is bitter and relentless war be-
tween Roosevelt and his party.
The President is against special
interests; the Republican party is
organized special interests.
The result is inevitable.
Roosevelt will win by default or
the Republican organization will
be destroyed.
Roosevelt is weaker in Congress
than he is before the people. The
public has more faith in the man
than it has in the party.
Thus in the last analysis he is
stronger than his party.
Which will surrender or which
will be crushed? That is the ques-
tion.

insignifcance besides the preser-
walton of robust strength and
health among the people. Nor
may this condition prevail unless
childhood Is protected, consequent
ly it is better far to lose the mite
of the child's labor in order to
gain the mountain of vigor con
tanned in the able adult.
The Mississippi manufacturers
are arguing that laws protecting
children are not needed Just now
in Mississippi, because there are
but few children engaged in fac
tory work in that State.
This argument is not only not
sound, but gives good reason for
immediate legislative action. 1t
acknowledges that if many chill
dren were thus employed there
would be necessity of action, but
it also indicates that in such event
the protest against the protection
would be stronger.
1t virtually admits that the ami
NAL is dangerous, but asks that it
be spared until it has grown suf-
ficiently strong to contend fiercely
for the mastery of those who now
hold its life in their hands.
The South has this child labor
question now where it may be
dealt with purely on an ethical
and economical basis. The inter
ests demanding it do not as yet
permeate other fields of business
activity to the extent of infuenc-
ing assistance. Ia other words,
the South, in this respect, is like
the man who is beginning to take
on vicious habit. If it is allowed
to grow the man may be utterly
conquered, bat if positive reiec-
tion is resorted to the victory is
easily won. We hope, therefore,
that Mississippi will not yield to
temptation, but stand firm and win
the battle like a man. CONNER

THE VITALITY OF DEMOCRACY.

That the growing disparity of
economic conditions in America
threatens the stability of republi-
can institutions we have too often
affirmed to need to dwell on that
point now. In the long run re-
publicanism proves to be a reality
or name, according to the degree
of equality persisting in the popu-
lation. Political equality and
equality before the law are the es
sence of republicanism, and these
two kinds of equality can be main.
tanned only if there is a great deal
of approximate equality in edu-
catioDal opportunity, and, back of
that, in economic opportunity.
While universal suffrage might ex.
list in population 80 per cent of
which could neither read nor
write, and 10 per cent of which
was well educated and clever, the
illiterate voters would only record
the preferences of the literate.
In like manner, in a population
of which 80 per cent had no pos
sible means or opportunity of live
lihood not under the control of a
favored 10 per cent, the 80 per
cent would vote as they we're told
to vote, until they got up revo-
luton that transferred the owner
ship of economic opportunities
from the few to the many.
Notwithstanding these indubit
able truths, the wideawake social
observer has only to look about
him to day to see multiplying
signs of the marvellous vitality of

erful few that substantially own

time, their position, their very

forming groups of every conceiv

VILLAGE CANNERIEs

The South and the Southwest
are sending millions of dollars
every year to the North which
little enterprise on the part of the
people could easily keep at home.
In every gardening and fruit grow
ing section vast quantity of the
product is annually wasted for lack
or the means of preserving it.
Because of the waste in this Sec
tion scores of car loads of canned
fruits and vegetables are sent to
us from the more thrifty inhabi-
tants of the North.
There is no reason for this un-
natural condition except certain
lack of enterprise on the part of
Southerners and an unwillingness
to resort to communal union for
the strength to meet competition.
1t is to the interest of Northern
manufacturers to throw every OBJ.
stacle in the way of the village
cannery. The question of obtain
ing cans is presented m o IT
formidable. The desire of under
selling the local cannery is used
without stint. But, if the people
of every village capable of sus-
tanning the cannerY would but
recognize the truth, it would be
more remuneratiye to the com
munity and, therefore, to them
selves to sustain the local institu-
ton, even though in SO doing they |
pay a few cents more for their
canned goods. Besides action of
this kind would insure pure food
in this respect and do wonders to-
ward casting the adulterated and
eonnterfeited stuffs from the mar

been fighting in our politics for
more than 100 years in the past,
and will continue to fight for more
than 100 years in the future.
There have been many political
fads and fancies that came to
amuse or plague politics. There
was the absurd anti Masonic party,
founded on ignorance and envy.
1t was most important factor
and very strong in New York and
New England, but it died as it had
lived, a fad.
About the middle of the last
century there sprang up the Know
Nothing party, founded on relig-
ions fanatacism and hatred of "the
Irish and Dutch" 1t swept the
North and East, but Stephen A.
Douglas drove it from the West
and Henry A. Wise and Andy
Johnson turned it beck from the
South. Yet it held the balance of
power in two Congresses and de-
cided two contests for Speaker
The Greenback movement was
another craze, later swallowed up
in the silver propaganda. 1t had
great deal of vitality and took
captive the Democratic party, but
it was done to death in 1896. The
Granger movement of the West
and the Farmers Alliance of the
South were adiuncts of the Green
back silver agitation, and out of
them grew the Populist party, that
was many sorts of fad. 1t made
coalition with the sans culottes
of the slums and dictated the poli-
tics of the Democratic party. The
result was the campaign Of 1896,
and this country does not want
another like it.
And now we have this munich
pal ownership fad. II carried Chi
cago and New York, for both Nc
Clellan and Wins cringed TO it.
However, both New York and
Chicago are foreign cities; but
municipal ownership is strong in
nearly all the American cities, but
no stronger han the Populist
movement was in the rural com
of the West. 1t will
have its day, and it will die the
fad it is.
But Mr.. Bryan comes along and
puts his fingers into it up to the
elbow, and proposes State owner
ship. of railroads, a most grotesque
and impossible fad. Doubtless the
Democratic party will obey Mr..
Bryan's orders. Possibly that
party has not yet sounded the en-
tire gamut of folly, but the result
will be only sounder licking than
aver.
And then this fad will die, and
some sure-enougb politics will
come to the two grand old parties

THE MAN AND THE PARTY.

"A great leader or men was Tue
founder of the Republican party.
His days were cut short; since
then the Republican party has had
no use for great leaders.
1t has constantly sought for men
who we're subservient to the will
of the political managers.
At first the Republican party
became spoils hunters machine;
then it became the mere political
annex of 6nanciers who desired
government aid in the accumula-
ton of wealth.
This was when it came before
the country as an uncompromising
protection party.
After this it was only short
while before Republicans in both
Houses of Congress were, practi-
cally all, the representatives of
specific business interests.
Most of them we're furnished
with campaign funds by self seek
ing financial institutions and natur-
ally the obligations assumed in
getting office made them the repre-
sentatives of the business concerns
which nominated and elected them.
This condition of affairs made
the party strong as a political ma
chine, but nerveless and weak as a
party of principles.
OF course it is the cue OF such
a party to avoid the elevation of a
man of dominant conviction and
unyielding principles to the high
Office Of chief executive.
The Republican party followed
its cue.
1t shut the door of hope in the
face of Blaine, Conkling and Tom
Reed and Ben Harrison could only
be president for one term.
1t has fought every man who
has dared defy the storm cellar
and stand for his own convictions.
But by hook or crook, regardless
of intractables in high places, the
party bosses have managed up TO
the time of Roosevelt to control
policies and destinies of the Re
publican party.
President Roosevelt is not the J
choice of the national Republican |
machine; he has always had the
hatred and opposition of the party |
bosses.
He naturally realizes that the
country has indorsed him, not the
machine, and that the people want
him to follow the dictates of his
judgment and conscience, not the
behests Of the confidential agents
of syndicates who have been for
