Proposed Tax on Snuff.

The Central Trades and Labor
Council of Jackson, last week adopt
ed the following resolutions, direct
ed against the tobacco trust:
Whereas, there is now pending
in the United States Circuit Court
for the Southern District of New
York an antitrust proceeding
brought by the federal government
against the American Tobacco Com
pany, and,
Whereas, the tobacco trust is
and has always been an enemy of
organized labor, destroying honest
competition by high handed and
d;sreputable methods, and,
Whereas, the most profitable
branch of the tobacco industry is
the snuff trade, in which competi-
ton has been destroyed by selling
the trust brands at less than cost,
therefore,
Be it resolved, That we, the
labor organizations Of Jackson, do
hereby pledge our support and in
fluence to the enactment of a law
that will place a tax of 500 on
every dealer who handles snuff, the
proceeds of this tax to go to the
common school fund, believing that
snuff is the most harmful method
Of Tobacco using. and that it would
be blessing if its use should be
altogether prohibited.
Be it further resolved, That
these resolutions be given to the
press for publication, and that cop
les of the same be sent to the mem
bers of the Mississippi legislature,
and that body be urged to enact
legislation on the subject at the
January session. -

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn She
scalds il thoroughly after using, and gives
il a sun bath 10 SweeJen il. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that If this stOmach-churn is foul It
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption Of
the pure current Of blood and the dissem-
ination Of disease throughout the body.

President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft have prevailed upon Congress
man Burton, of Ohio, formerly
chairman of the House Committee
on Rivers and Harbors, to accept
the Republican nomination for
Mayor of Cleveland, against Thomas
l.. Johnson, Democrat, who has
held the office already four or five
terms. The capture of Cleveland,
the largest city i'm Ohio, was deemed
necessary to the success of Secretary
Taft's securing the Ohio delegation
to the Republican National Conven-
ton, and Mr.. Burton's friends, adj
mitting the utter improbability Of
his defeating Mayor Johnson, are
bitterly assailing Mr. Roosevelt and
the Secretary for putting him up for
a sacrifice with a probable result of
retiring him to private life. Mr..
Burton did an unwise act in resign
ing the chairmanship of one of the
most important committees in Con-
gress, and if defeated for Mayor of
Cleveland, his stock viii fall below

+. c. Letten, the tax collecting
clerk who defaulted in New Orleans
last week for Sis, 900. was arrest
ed two days later on the bank of
the Mississippi river while reading
a report Of his own em bezzlement
in a local newspaper. He had been
there two days deliberating as to
whether he would drown himself or
take the laws punishment. He
made an unreserved confession to
taking $50, 600 of the State $ money,
and said it was given to a negro
woman with whom he had become
infatuated. = Letten has a family
and an elegant home valued at
S15, 900, and was regarded as one
of the most exemplary men in the
Crescent City. He never played
the races" nor speculated in flu
lures; did not know one card from
another, and was not at all addicted
to drink: did not chew tobacco and
it had been thirty years since he
smoked a pipe, cigar or cigarette,
and was so noted for punctuality
and attention to business that the
Tax Collector did not even require
bond Of him, although that form
ality and protection were exacted
from all other employees All of
which suggest that it were better to
/ be guilty of some of the little for
giving sins that stand out in open
relief, even though they feed and
fatten the insatiate gossip, than to
perpetrate and conceal a hundred
thousand-dollar theft of other peo-
ple's money, leaving friends and the
balance Of the world agape with as
/ tonishment at the revelation, and
the penitentiary doors open for
atonement to offended moral pre-
cepts and violated penal statutes.

At the first Deep Waterways con-
vention in st. Louis, last year,
which launched the plan for a +
feet channel from the Lakes to the
Gulf, Chicago was skeptical, doubt
ing the feasibility of the scheme,
and did not even ask for the second
convention of the association, which
is to meet at Memphis October /
and 5. Since that time Chicago
discerns the great possibilities of the
deep channel. and Is the most en-
thusiastic of all the valley for the
success of the enterprise. The most
formidable delegations to memphis
next month that will attend the
convention will be those from Chi
