On To Washington.

Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, the wo-
man who drove Georgia dry is the
Jean dare who will lead the w. c.
T. u, crusade against the District of
Columbia and importune congress to
drive every liquor dealer out of the
United States. She has won the title

Oil Leases.

Secretary Garfield listened to the
protest of committee of twenty re-
presenting the Milcontinent Oil Pro-
ducers' Association, against a recent
amendment to the regulations Of the
Interior Department governing oil
leases in the Indian Territory. This
amendment authorizes the Secretary
to increase the royalty to be paid 10
the Indian a1ottees to the extent of
sixteen and twenty-thirds per cent of
the gross proceeds arising from any
lease, and three hours of time were
spent in trying to convince the Sec
retary that the regulation is unbus-
inesslike and may be used to work
great hardships. 1t was contended
that even after contract had been
entered into, the Secretary could ar
bitrarily increase the amount to be
paid to the Indians without even
consulting the lessee. This, it was
urged, was necessary, because the In
dians are largely of white blood and
can care for their own interests.

Ends the Strain.

New York.-Charles Tracy Barney,
the deposed president of the Knick-
erbocker Trust Company, and until
recently a power in the financial
world, shot and killed himself In his
home. His loans with the bank it is
said, are amply secured, and when
he was forced from its presidency he
was to all intents and purposes eli
mated as a factor in banking circles.
What i'll effects his unexpected tax
ing off might have had on the finan-
cial situation generally has long since
been discounted.
In. distress of mind over the dissi-
patton of his private fortune and the
loss of his high standing among busi-
ness associates, intimate aequaint-
ances find the hidden drift that broke
his health and reason.

Compton Will Retire.

Although he would receive unanl-
nous support for reelection, Presl-
dent D. S. Compton, of the Cotton
States League, has determined that he
will not be a candidate for reelection
at the December meeting of the board
of directors at Gulfport, nor will he
yield to pressure to induce him to re-
tain the position.
The genial Vicksburger has just
completed his second year in the pres
idency, and has filed the office with
eminent satisfaction to all concerned.
His decision to retire is based on the
fact that he cannot afford to devote
the time to the duties of the office that
would be required of him next sea-
son, especially in view of the fact
that an eight-team circuit is probable.
Unless Mr.. Compton can be induced
to reconsider, it is likely that there
will be a lively scramble for the place
since it carries with it very nice
salary, the president also performing
the duties of secretary.

Want More Holidays.

The general assembly of the Knights
of Labor in convention adopted res
olution to urge before congress and
state legislatures that national holi-
days be observed whenever national
elections are held, and local holidays
be occasions of state elections. The
assembly endorsed the movement of
the United States Historical Society
of this city for more general patrl
otic observation of the Fourth of Ju-
ly, declared IN favor of the initiative
and referendum on all important mat
ters and urged legislation taking from
federal judges the power to pass on
the constitutionality of any question
such power being the prerogative of
the supreme court of the United
States,

More Rigid Laws.

A meeting of the Mississippi Stock
Breeders Association was held in
Jackson with large number of prom
inent stockmen in attendance.
The principal object Of the meeting
was to devise ways and means of Sc
curing the passage of bill at the
next session of the legislature to aid
in the work of eradicating the cattle
tick, in accordance with the sugges-
tion of the United States department
Of agriculture. The cattlemen Of Mis-
sissippi regard this as the most Sc
rious menace to the industry of this
state, and at the meeting this morn
ing several special agents of the de-
partment of agriculture were present
and discussed the subject.
A committee, composed of H. E.
Blakeslee, of Jackson; Prof. Archie
Smith, professor of animal industry
at the A. and NJ. college; G. M. AL
drich. of Michigan City, j. M. Tay-
lor, of Port Gibson, and J. NJ. Day,
of Crystal Springs, was named to pre-
pare the bill and present it to the leg
islature. The measure will be framed
at an early date, and will be among
the first presented for legislative con-
Sideration.

State Prohibition.

Chairman w. I. Lowrey, of the pro-
hibtion executive committee of Mis-
sissippi, will shortly issue an address
in reference to the convention that
will be held in jackson. on Tuesday,
January 8, for the purpose of franz
ing the memorial to be presented to
the legislature asking for the enact
ment of prohibition statutes.
The prohibition leaders are practi-
cally of one mind concerning the ma
ture of the legislation that will be
asked. They will request the legisla-
ture to first enact a statutory prohi-
bition law abolishing every saloon
in Mississippi, and at the same session
submit an amendment to the people
at the November, 1908, election, pro-
posing constitutional prohibition.

Needs Of Soldiers Home.

Hon. T. M. Henry, secretary OF the
board of directors of the Soldiers
Home at Beauvoir, will draft the re-
port of that body to the approaching
session of the legislature, and at a
meeting recently held in Gulfport It
was decided to ask the legislature to
make a special appropriation to be
used in enlarging the institution.
The home is now filed to the limit
of its. capacity, containing over lou
inmates, and if its field of usefulness
is to be increased it will be necessary
to provide more room, and conSe-
quently, a larger support approprla-
tion.
The directors found on their recent
inspection that the home is In first
class shape, and the health of the IN
mates exceptionally good, although
the hospital contains quite a number
of veterans who have been rendered
very feeble by the weight of increas-
ing years.

Won't Use Old Motto.

In answer to one of the numerous
protests that have been received at
the White House against the new gold
coined without the words Gin God
We Trust" President Roosevelt has
written a letter, which he made pub
lie. In part, the letter says:
"When the question of the new
coin came up, we looked into the law
and found there was no warrant there
in for putting Gin God We Trust p"
on the coins. AS l did not approve
of it, | did not direct that it should
again be put on.
"My own feeling in the matter Is
due to my very firm conviction that
to put such a motto on coins or to use
it in any kindred manner, not only
does no good, but does positive harm;
and is, in effect, irreverence which
comes dangerously near to sacrilege. "

Washington.-Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou stated that while
in New York he had asked several of
the leading banks there to return 10
the treasury comparatively small sums
aggregating between $4,000,000 and
$5,000,0O0. The only object of this
call was to strengthen the treasury
working balance, which had been some
what reduced by the action of the sec
retary in responding to calls from
banks IN several sections of the coun-
try for public deposits to meet the
increased demands upon them for
each incident to the crop moving sea-
son.
The withdrawal of so small sum
could have no appreciable effect in
New York or elsewhere and the banks
gladly and promptly acceded to the re-
quest of the secretary. The demand
for additional circulation continues
with slight diminution. From Novem-
ber l to IA inclusive, the actual ship
mentS of national banks notes 20
banks increasing their circulation was
$40, ,642, 800. This large addition 20

which is held up to the expectations
OF the treasury officials has marked
influence. it is stated, in restoring
public confidence and in minimizing
the effects of the present money
stringency.
Secretary Root requested that a de-
nial be made of the story that the
French government has proposed to
secure tariff concessions from the
United States though the Intervention
of New York bankers as a price for
the release of gold by the Bank of
France, in order that the gold might
be shipped to this country to relieve
the present stringency.
Any proposal of this character in
evitably must pass through diplomatic
channels and the state department of
ficials, therefore would be in position
to obtain advance information If such
an effort were contemplated. The
financial situation and any plans the
New York market may have to bring
about shipments of gold from France,
the secretary said, are not involved
IN the present tariff negotiations be-
tween that country and the United
Staes.

Advances Financial Aid.

The Navy Department has helped
the financial situation on the Pacific

which built the battleship California
1t is the rule to retain 5 per cent
of the cost price of ships to guard
against failure of the vessels to meet
specification. In this case the amount
was 100000. The Union Iron Works
represented that if part of this
were not advanced they would be un-
able to pay their men. They waiv-
ed all rights of controversy in con-
nection with tests of the ship and
put up gilt-edged bonds as security
for the 100000.
