There are many Republicans and
Independents of Republican leaning
who are alarmed at the growing pros
meets Of Democratic national success.
The Springfield Republican, an i'm
martial and ably edited paper, asks
the question, what is it pray, that
has lately been causing Democratic
homes to rise?" and answers 1t as
follows:
A1-The evident impossibihty OF
satisfying organized labor by Re.
nublican legislation at this session OF
congress. ana the quick development
of the fact that the important Hep
burn amendment to the antitrust law
with its feeble concession to the laboi
unions. can not be enacted into Law
in the Immediate future by Republi
can votes. This may mean the con
tinued disaffection or indifference o
labor toward Republican interests II
the campaign.
~2-The failure OF all remedia
LEGISLATION designed to correct the ad
ministrafion's Brownsville error, leav
ing the negro vote at least partially
diaa1fecfed in the close Northern
states.
ns-The Ohio situation, embracing
Republican factionalism so bittel
mat 4 Republican congressman from
that state has declined to be a candi
date for reelection for the ayowet

reason that reelection would be hope
less.
1.-THE New York situation, which.
from the Democratic viewpoint, seems
just now to promise a campaign in
which the Republicans would be de-
prived OF Governor Hughes personal
strength as candidate, and the Odell-
Platt wing would endeavor to settle
old scores by knitting the state ami
national tickets.
"5-Continuing uncertainty as to
the effect of business stagnation upon
the electorate. While hard times
promise to last through the spring
and summer, with wages going down
and with the unemployed numerous,
the high prices of the period of pros.
perity are not easily depressed"
This is interesting, but, after all,
only opinoin, although expert opinion.
Organized labor that is Democratic
will probably continue Democratic,
and Republican labor will vote that
} ticket; independent workingmen VIII
probably, If they are impulsive. de-
eide according to the condition of the
I country at election time, voting Re-
publican if times are good and Demo
: cratic if times are bad, while the
thinkers will vote the Democratic
ticket on principle because of the
necessity of tariff and trust reform.
The Brownsville case may effect
the vote in the border states, but Re
publicans have less to apprehend
: from that than have Democrats from
the corrupt use of campaign money
u Nor will Ohio or New York factional
ism cut much figure after the tickle
is nominated.
Il Business will probably be good IL
the East before long, as it is and ha
been in the Southwest. But the mem
DRY of hard times will unquestionabl,
help the Democrats, because prosper
ity has long been the boast of tn
Republicans, and the party in powe
is rightly required to insure prosper
ity.
What will help the Democrats mos
is the great issue of the tariff and tn
trusts, or of the favor-seeking corpora
tions. as Bryan prefers to phase II
This government has been run in tn
interest of few. 1t should be rul
in the interest of the many. Tn
Democratic party is the party of tn
many, the party of the people, tina
stands for their interests and thei
rights.

PRESIDENT 3. 7. HOBBS ISSUES
AN ADDRESS TO MEMBERS.
Urges Full Attendance at the Annual
Convention to be Held in Hatties-
burs-some Of the important Sub
jectc Slated.

President B. T. Hobbs of the Mis-
sissippi Press Association. has sent
the following address to the members
in the state:
Dear Sir:
The Mississippi Press Association
will hold it's 43rd annual session at
Hattiesburg May 10 and 81, inclusive.
1t is very greatly desired that in size
of attendance and interest this meet
ing of the association shall reach the
high water mark in its history. The
city of Hattiesburg itself is one of the
most delightful meeting places to be
found in Mississippi. A city of magnig-
cent street, buildings and people,
which has sprung up in the piney
woods of South Mississippi, in one of
the old-time "cow countless" il you
please, as IL by the magic of Aladdin.
To such members Of the press as
1 have never visited Hattiesburg, and
this section of Mississippi, it will
prove a veritable- revelation of indus
trial and commercial enterprise in
what was, for long time, regarded
as almost barren section of the state.
An elaborate and interesting pro-
gram has been arranged for the en-.
tire three days session, a copy OF
which you will soon receive. 1t will
be noted that the hospitable people
of Hattiesburg will put forth every
effort to make our stay in their midst
a pleasant one.
The only thing which at all prom
Uses to initiate against the attend
ance and success of the convention IL
the refusal of several railroads of the
state to grant the courtesies usually
extended members of the association
on such = occasions. Those which
have responded in this way, and te
which the press of the state has rea
son to feel grateful, are the Illinois
Central, the Yazoo & Mississippi Val
ley, the Southern, the Mobile & Ohio
the Gulf & Ship Island and the Missis
sippi Central.
Regardless, however, of this lacl
of the usual courtesies by some o
the railroads we hope to have yol
present at Hattiesburg. The associa
ton has long since INDICATED 1T
right to perpetuation by its fruits
The discussion of practical subject
bearing on the success of the news
paper business, the mutual informa
tion impaired, the experience ex
changed, and, above all, the good fel
lowship which is created and main
tanned by these annutl meetings, max,
them of untold value to every mem
Der who attends them. The only re
great is that every member of tbs
newspaper fraternity in Mississippi
| entitled to membership, does not iden
, tify himself with the association.
Meet us at Hattiesburg on Ma.
} the 18th. We very much desire t,
/ have you present.
t Yours fraternally,
r B. T. HOBBS.

East Indian English.

Here is part of an actual speech de-
livered in an East Indian court Of law
by a pleader: what they say is very,
if not most, ridiculously absurd to be-
lieve Indeed, it is incredulous. They
say that the blood flew, and they did
nothing to put the wounded into ease.
This, sir, is lie, an unmitigated lie,
or, rather falsehood or fable or story
or, as Byron sarcastically observes, a
terminal eXactitude. These buffaloes
never used to Craze on the field, which
is not actually even proper grazing
meadow The destination which they
started was half q mile from the
cynosure to which they went. Unless
they did not ride on lightning horses,
now could they reach to that premises
in five minutes? Can any man-idiot
even-will not believe such stupid
concoctation."

you speak for yourself, John" was as
clever proposal as any girl could
make. Then there is the heroine OF
George Bernard Shaw's Man and SUI
perman," whose pursuit of the hero
was SO effective
Baroness Burdett Coutts, at the age
of 81, married William Ashmead Bart
lett, an American thirty years her
junior, and lived very happily with him
till her death.
Thackeray said that any woman
could make a man fall in love with
her unless she was squint-eyed and had
hump on her back. Bernard Shaw
promulgated the doctrine that 1t was
the woman who chose, anyhow. Why,
then, should woman spoil the game
for herself by coming right out with a
proposal, when by patience and a little
tact she could tease one out Of a man?
Leap year has it's possibilities, but it
will be brave girl who will announce
her engagement this year.-William
Wesley, in Chicago Journal.

would not be able to keep him in the
little luxuries to which he has been
accustomed, why should she stand back
when she might show him the way to
comfort and contentment?
If she understands him better than
he understands himself and appre-
ciates fully that he will be so fattered
at her good judgment in picking him
out Of all her possible acquaintance
that he will forgive any mere depart
ure from custom, why should she not
propose?
A New York woman, Mrs. Belle de
Rivera, president Of the New York City
Federation Of Woman's Clubs, believes
that women should share mems prerog-
alive. "They have right to propose
not only in leap year, but whenever
they choose" she says. Suppose a
girl Is rich and a man is poor. He
loves her and she knows it; he in his
modesty dare not propose. She loves
him, too. Should she not propose?"
There are historic instances Of where
women have proposed. Queen Victoria
has been the leading example. She
might not have informed her choice,
Prince Albert, In so many words that
she desired him to wed her, but she
chose him from the other suitors pre-
scented to her for appreciation and let
him know it. And besides that, it was
a love match and surely resulted hap
PLY If ever a royal romance did.
Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland
thought the example Of Queen Victoria
good enough for her to follow, and she
proposed to the present prince consort.
Nine. de Stael, who was clever
enough and attractive enough to have
cajoled any man into proposing to her
il she had really wanted him, wasted
no time on artifice or subterfuge, but
asked the man. He accepted with
pleasure, and they were married, though
she kept the marriage secret for long
time.
Literature has had many examples
of women taking the initiative in ask
ing the momentous question. There was
Rosalind, who had to lead Orlando on
to the point, and Priscilla, who took
the bashful John Alden in hand when
he asked for his rival. why don't

to the taXicab, or more properly the
taXimeter cab, which vehicle is provid-
ed with recording instrument on the
dial of which is shown the exact fare
or tariff due. A German inventor, a
couple of years ago, perfected the first
taximeter, which instrument, housed
in small metal box a foot long. half a
foot wide and four or five inches deep,
performs the manifold duty of reckon
ing the fare the cab earns while trav-
cling on the street, while waiting in
front Of the club or department store,
while carrying extras such as trunks
and miscellaneous luggage, and in ad-
dition keeps a record Of the drivers
actions by registering the number Of
trips the cab makes each day, counting
up the total mileage of the day and
the exact mileage Of each trip. and
finally making a record Of mileage and
fares for the benefit Of the cab owner.
In brief, the taxicab comes as a de-
tective prodigy between the cab own
er and the cab driver on the one hand
and between the cab driver and the
travelling public on the other hand.

sary power, and it will be only a mat
ter Of time when the Cygnet, or an i'm
proved machine Of her type, soaring on
high in absolute control, will occasion
no more comment to watchers from be-
low than an automobile does TO-DAY

1t Is interesting to note In this con-
nection that Count de la Vaulx, one of
the most intelligent and enterprising of
the French aeronauts, does not believe
that either Santos-Dumont or Farman
will win the Deutsch prize of $4,000
for the first airship that sails a circu-
lar kilometer. He takes little stock in
the future Of flying machines, either.
but pins his faith on the possibilities Of
the siderable balloon.
