INQUIRY BY DIR. WILEY.
Visit to Europe May Have ImpOFtan
 ReAnlss.

Visit to Europe May Have Important
 Results.
 Washington Special to New Orleans
 imes-Democrat.
 It is believed at the State Depart visit to Europe of Dr. Wiley of the De- pertinent of Agriculture will be the calling of an international gathering in this country to of. enaeaTor ,t to secure rnent of food adultera}ions. It appears that there Is little difference of opinion among the health authorities of the establishing % raies for the hns mahufs ctuTe terest of public 6eAith. but differences have arisen at each stage of the !t at, government of the export trade in such commodities, owing to honest differences of opinion as to the prop- CT definition of adulterants. Although taking an advanced position on this matter. as revealed in the stringent legislation contained in the pure food States the Sas Ssen oSgea at Af mes to take sharp issue with some of the European Government officials as to the harmfulness of certain ingredients
 Against purely technical objections the Agricultural Department has been contendlng with difficulty for long pure food act, with the authority. eon- tained therein to apply its provisions to imported foods and drugs and wines, the department finds it's hands much strengthened in dealing with the Eu ropean Governments, which are now beginning to show a very practical in- terest in the Inquiry which Dr. Wiley Is making into the nature of the in- gredients of the great quantities of foreign delieatessen and liquors that are flowing into the United States.
 It is felt, therefore. that 1t will not ha Ti67Rn1f pnafter tn tndlIRA other nations to second the efforts of the United States Government either by an international gathering or by dip- lomatic correspondence to reach an un- derstanding upon a general set of rules relative to the use of preservatives in food products.

Outlipes Some Democratic DoCtRines
 in Speech to Home FOlka.
 From speech to his home folks. when they welcomed John sharp Will Hams back to Yazoo City, the follow ing is taken;
 My own duty now is a plain one; the duty of national legislator, as q Mississippian and a Democrat, to go forward trying to bring about revis- lon of the tariff, trying to check mo- nopoly. trying to put halt to militar. ism. so that we can use the s26,00e,0 to $30,0O0, 900, now uselessly expended for an enlarge army. to develop our internal improvements and give us g. fourteen-foot channel In the great river, and a Panama canal and to do such other work as Is important and we'll to be done. and above all, will leave in the pockets of the people as much as possible of their money not to De taxed out. We people of sthe South have another plain duty. which seems to me to be more patently presented to us now than ever, and that is to help the drift and tendency Of time Rowaras race problem consists of the tuxtapor sition of the two races in nearly equal numbers, It's only solution will be in the measurable separation of the two races. by increasing the number Of white people in the South and deoreas- ing the number of negroes. There ought to be a combined effort to do both. provided always that we remem- Der that we do not want the scum or Europe, It's driftings, nor Its bad ele. ments, but we want only such men and women as our forefathers were, when they came to these shores-seif-re- spseting and honest people who love republican institutions. We can get them, for there are plenty of them both to the North of us and elsewhere. Meanwhile, the natural tendency of the negro race to scatter all over the Uni- ted States is helping us, This tendency we should by no means check,

Is claimed that no exercise will cause them to become so iaxy that they won't try to lay an egg Whatever the rea- son may be. they must have plenty of exercise. and one way of giving it to them is to hang such vegetables as they like on strings SO high that . hen can't reach one without jumping up for it. Here we will. add that this would also relieve the monotony of country life often experienced on the farm. By having . large number of loaded strings the owner could enjoy real circus by watching the antics of the fowls as they jump and spring for their food. This is also free ad- vice we are giving.
 Another method of affording exer- else. especially to the feet and legs of the poultry is by forcing them to scratch for living. If all their food should be spread out for them on the ground, or put in plates. they would eat it and soon forget what legs are made for; consequently. the bulletin advises that the grain or other food be covered with two or more inches of hay or chopped straw so that they must dig it up or go without it. live might butt in once more we suggest that each hens feet be tied together so that she would be compelled to scratch with both feet at once. This would not only afford her more exer- else but would also afford fun to the owners. Nothing like making e com plete job of whatever we go at All this instruction will doubtless be amusing to the poultry raisers. but they are welcome to it.

snaIn HEN AnYIOE.

Why is a hen?" is the question asked by the cheerful idiot when he can think of no other query to pro- pound. How to make hens profitable. is a matter of much more importance, and we note that the Department of Agriculture at Washington has issued a bulletin to guide those who don't know what to do with hens nor how to go about it. Thus we are told that if a hen finds a broken egg in her nest she is likely to eat it, and for that reason 1t is recommended that nests should be kept comparatively dark. 70 this we will take the liberty of add ing that by keeping the nest dark the hen will also be kept in the dark as to the number of eggs she has laid, and then she will keep on laying. We make this suggestion without charge.
 Then there is another suggestion that Is worthy of attention as coming Fre.a the headquarters of hen knowl- edge, and that is that the hens must have plenty of exercise. We don't ex" aetiy understand whether the object is to cause them to tire themselves out so that they will want to sit down and rest, thereby inelining them te lay some eggs while resting, or whether Il

 The Sacramento Bee asserts with positive assurance that Bryan is in favor of government ownership of the railroads. Mir. Bryan has declared himself in favor of giving government regulation q fair trial. but he may still be a firm believer in ownership. for. ell we know to the contrary The Bee adds, however. that Theodore Roosevelt will be out in favor of gov ernment ownership in few years. That is safe prediction provided he becomes satisfied that such position is popular with the country. It is safe to say that Roosevelt will line up with the strong sentiment as soon as he finds out what that sentiment is.

DIR. ALLANs ADDRESS
 BRILLIANT EFFORT

Oistfnsuished Divine Given Vote ef Thanks for Address at ReunfeB. Anniston Star.
 The feature of the recent reunion of Confederate Veterans at schenck's Springs was the magnificent address by pr, ". T. Allan, of Jacksonville, At the conclusion of the address Hon, L.. W. Grant arose and moved vote of thanks. which was unsniIaousfy and heartily given, for the admirable ad- dress. to which the audience had just listened.
 pr. Allan introduced his subject. which was review of the causes lead ing up to the great war between the States. the history of that conflict ana its final results. with the statement that his purpose was to make it edu- cative to the younger msn--ths sons of the veteran
 He showed the south's loyalty to the Constitution, insisting that history sus- tained the statement that the North only departed from the provisions or that famous document; that the Con federate soldier fought for the consti- tuition.
 He spoke also of the women of the confsderacy and of their sacrifices. closing with an appeal to the young men to preserve the honorable record of their fathers, who poured out their blood in sacrifice for their rights un' der the constitution.
 Mir. Allan had made great prepara- ton for this speech, spending three weeks in earnest search for the facts that composed 1t. He spoke for one and three quarters hours. holding the rapt attention of his hearers to the close.
 Thursday morning I was at the springs soon to see them come In. By 10 o'clock there were thousands on the grounds At that hour the writer was requested to get the crowd together, and told of few things that happened over forty years ago. after whicn tne orator of the day, Rev. Allan, Of Jack sonville, was introduced He was one of the most pleasant men 1t has ever been my lot to meet. Two hours and twenty i've minutes he held those thou- sands of people speiIbound. It was the ablest speech have heard since the war."-Gadsden Daily Times-News.
