BACKING HER OWN SONS.

Mississippi is certainly loyal % her
own. Size seems to believe in backing
the caliher of her statesmen against
all corners.
Only few days ago, the report was
circulated broadcast that Democratic
convention held in some small town In
the interior of the state had unlual-
ifiedly endorsed Bryan for pres lent,
and James K. Vardaman for second
place on the ticket.
Now, the Forrest County Democrats
instruct for Bryan and John Sharp
Williams.
Vardaman and Williams-two Of
Mississippi's most distinguished states
men.
We do not doubt Mr.. Vardaman's
ability; far be it from us. But he is
not the man for the place. He would
not make a good running mate FOR
Bryan.
He is brilliant man, and a broad
minded statesman but his purposes
and intentions are almost universally
misunderstood Misunderstood, not
only by the people of other sections
who are unacquainted with the real
character of the man, but most per.
sistently by some of his own people.
Native Mississippians, who should be
proud of the state that has produced
such man, honestly believe him a
demagogue, and continue to apply the
distasteful adjective, demagogic, to all
his actions.
Such man would not run we'll on
national ticket he cannot be called
a statesman of national repute. He
has attracted wide attention by his
continued and emphatic appeals to the
people of the country to study the
dangerous phases of the negro ques-
ton, but for this alone is he known
to the people of the North and the
East and the West.
He is almost brutally blunt in his
| absolute sincerity on this question,
and for this reason he has been ac-
cused of using it as platform to help
him to secure office. Such, however,
is not the case. He is earnest, sin
cere, and able, and his host of loyal
| friends expect to see him ere the years
shall have passed another decade
ranked with the foremost of American
public men.
AS to Mr.. Williams, his career has
been a brilliant one; he is known to
all as the fearless and intrepid leader
of the minority in the house, and as
such has gained fame and honor. He
is widely known, and is widely pop
ular.
1t is our belief that the time Is IA
vorable for the nomination of South
I ern man for the vice presidency, and
must confess that we can call to mind
no man so well fitted for the place
as Mr.. Williams.
Mississippi does well to show he's APP
pEeciation of the talent of her favored
sons, and the cry should be sent up
from all sections Of the state for John
Sharp Williams for the vice presi-
dency.-Gulfport Record-Tribune.

The Best Sort of
Crest and Reinsurance. -
Get the spirit.

The ex-President of the United
States says that, just now, the people
want rest and reinsurance"
The kind of reinsurance" that best
fits in with the temperament of the ty-
pical American business man, how
ever, is the reinsurance that comes to
man who is fighting-and winning;
who is uggling-and tightening his
grip on-things.
He can find no reinsurance whatever
in reaction, in rest" in stopping the
strife. These things appeal only to
the type of man described by another
American statesman as "weakling."
The American business man does
not shirk strife and struggle-but he
objects to the fight being fixed" to
less than "a square deal"
1t is at just this time, when "rest"
is the objective of the incapable bust
ness man, and struggle the daily lot of
the capable one, that new alignments
are in the making" in the business
community. Soon there will emerge
revised" roll call of successful men
from the stress and press of unfavor
ing business conditions. 1t will con
tain the names of those who found
their reinsurance" in fight, not il
rest" 1t will contain the names O
men who, under unfavoring conditions
developed into judicious advertisers
aggressive users of newspaper space
and it viii not contain the names o
any business men who concluded tina

Another Ground
For DrUorce.

Continually the hopper of the di-
vorce mill is being enlarged, for the
reception of new causes for divorce,
until it has almost reached the point
where any old reason is held suf-
ficient for untying the nuptial knot.
A lady in Vermont has just come for
ward with new and novel COM
plant.
Her name is Mrs. Guy, and she has
appealed to the court to free her frCnl
her husband, Mr.. Guy, on the ground
of intolerable cruelty. The specified
act of cruelty is making her Skip
the rope" 1t appears that Mrs. Guy
was growing too stout. and in order
TO reduce her size her husband pre-
scribed exercise, of that particular
form known as skipping the rope, and
presided at the taking.
Now it may be true that skipping
the rope for hours at a time is not
a very pleasant pastime for a lady
who tips the beam at two hundred
or thereabout. 1t may appear cruel
to insist on such a performance. But
is husband to be blamed if he ad.
mires sylphlike figure, and desires
his wife to possess such a form? And
If it be true, as it doubtless is, that
skipping the rope is means towards
attaining that end, is it to be held as
sufficient cause for granting divorce
if this certain remedy is prescribed?
Because Mr.. Guy loved his wife he
desired her to be beautiful, and be.
cause he desired her to be beautiful
he made her skip the rope for hours
at, time every day. 1t is a plain
case of love and not of cruelty.
And shall divorce be granted
where the evidences of Low take such
an active form? While divorces
should be granted for sufficient
cause, since it is better for couple
to be happy separated than to be
miserable united, the line should be
drawn when a wife applies for a di-
vorce from a husband who gives such
evidence of his love as Mr.. Guy did
when he made his heavyweight wife
skip the rope to give nimbleness to
her movements and lines of beauty
to her form.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbing sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be dest royed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
