While the last legislature ~resolut-
ed very nicely about the b%attleship
Mississippi it will he recalled that it
failed to provide the funds for the
silver service. Certain prominent
men of the state have undertaken the
patriotic work Of raising the funds.
At a meeting OF the committee Of
gentlemen held a few days ago, the
following address was issued to the
people of the state:
1.-The legislature Of Mississippi, by
concurrent resolution, on February
18th, 1908, requested the federal gov.
ernment to permit the battleShip
Mississippi to visit waters to re-
ceive a silver service to be given by
our citizens. BY a joint resolution,
on March 2lst, 1908, 1t referred to the
pride and privilege of many other
states of this grand union to present
testimonials of appreciation for the
naming Of battleshipS for such
states;" and declared that all ''agree
that loyalty, pride and a devotion to
our country prompts US to extend a
fitting testimonial Of our apprecia-
tion for the honor conferred upon Our
state by naming a great battleship for
our State:" and requested and
authorized E. f. Noel, James X.
Vardaman. Dunbar Rowland and j..
n Powers to undertake the raising
Of $500, additional to that already
collected for the purpose of selecting
purchasing and presenting a silver
service to the battleship Mississippi"

equipped for this work, and is 81 living
to it her time and attention. She
should receive aid and encouragement
of every public spirited citizen. Our
legislature unequivocally committed
our state to this very worthy under
taking, and our people should make
good the obligation. The balance of
the money should be contributed this
fall. In order that accurate records
may be kept and that all may know
at any time what progress is being

 The brewery has been turned into an ice plant, and practically every saloon has been rented for some legitimate business.

Lucey, Chairman; Jonathan Kel- ,ogg, Secretary; V. Y. Cook, J. H. Berry, Dan w. Jones and c. Coffin. It forms book of con- siderable size and is well printed and handsomely illustrated. The following are leading features of the work: It embraces more than fifty letters from prominent Arkansas ladies giving a descrip- tion of their own experiences or those of their mothers in the Civ il War period. These letters are fine specimens of the epistolary style of writing, as the writers present facts in clear and straight forward manner. Each letter contains one or more events of historic value, and the whole will be useful material for the future historian.
 There is given in it what can not be found in any other publi- cation-a a brief sketch of the ori- gin of those organizations and in stitutions which have become so familiar to Southern people, viz: United Confederate Veterans, The United Sons of Confederate Veterans, The United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Southern Cross of Honor, the Confederate Flag and Uniform, and the Con federate Museum at Richmond.
 The book contains two hundred and fifty pages of interesting reading matter. The paper bound costs soc. per copy with 6 cents added for postage, if sern by mail; the cloth bound cost is S1.O0 per copy with 12 cents fot

STILL UNANSWERED

n HIO has adopted an alliterative
political slogan, Taft and tariff
~ reform" The state convention,
which has not yet been held but has
thoughtfully given out in advance it's
spontaneous program, will uphold the
policies of Roosevelt, pledge support to
Taft and declare for revision of the
tariff along protective lines at a special
meeting of the next congress-" The
revision announcement is somewhat
obscure. 1t may mean that Ohio Repub-
licans favor readjustment and reform
of tariff schedules; reform SO radical
that practical free trade will be the
result, on it may mean that tariff rates
are to be strengthened and the country
committed to the steepest kind of high
protection. When we think of Brother
Taft in connection with fiscal or tariff
or economic or fiji ancial measures of
reform we cannot help recalling his
not-sage reply to the workingman who
asked him what a fellow must do who
can't get job, has no money and is
compelled by law to support his family.
Perhaps Mr.. Taft by this time may
have excogitated an answer to the iu-
quiry, and if SO his American fellow
citizens would be glad to know what
it is.
By the way, what IS man, with a
family that he is by law compelled to
maintain and support and provide for.
to do when his savings are exhausted,
his valuables are in pawn, his furniture
is mortgaged, his house rent overdue
and his chance of earning money ap-
parently about as good as his chance
of travelling to our lunar satellite on q
moonbeam?

A FRIENDLY GROWL

T OS ANGELES HERALD believes
in being optimistic, and prints
"a a cheer-up story whenever it can,
realizing that that kind of reading is
always useful as well as merely anus
ing, and that it was never as much
needed in the United States as it is
today. Hundreds of our contemporaries
have recently reprinted extracts from
our editorial columns. always with
credit, and in acknowledgment of their
courtesy we make a bow and invite
them TO help themselves. But it is
painful to come across jokes, short
stories and paragraphs which are taken
YOU" We are glad that our friends
value wit and humor, and beg to as
sure them that they are welcome to
use ours. By reprinting it they un,
doubtedly add to the general joy and
help along a good cause. But we would
appreciate the courtesy if they would
tell their readers that the republished
article or story appeared first in Los
Angeles Herald. We have found a
number of waits and strays from The
Herald that had been taken in and
entreated hospitably--in scriptural
phrase-but we recognized them mere
ly by their good looks, for they did
not wear identification togs. Among
friends who entertained our Herald
"angels unawares and unacknowl-
edoedn the Chino "ChamD" and an
other brisk little breezy paper at Long
Beach and several others here and
there could be mentioned. But we be-
ieve that the lack of credit has been
due to an oversight on the part Of
our hosts. and 'we'll let it go at that"

GRATUITOUS ATTACK

A TTACKS on the Bethlehem Insti-
II tute and Rev. Dana Bartlett are
IA foolish waste of energy. The as
sailant of such an institution or of
such a man merely invites popular re-
buke. No one could with sincerity
abuse Bartlett and his work. The Rev.
Dana Bartlett long ago won his place
in the hearts of the good people of Los
Angeles, and he needs have no fear
that any attack, no matter what may
be its source or its inspiration, can
shake the faith of the people in him and
his noble mission. Dana Bartlett is
doing and has done magnificent work
for the needy and suffering. The desti-
tute may appeal to him with the cer-
tainty of being helped, and the appli-
cant will never be turned away on
account of race, religious belief, poll
tics or creed. Any attempt to rob this
great and sincere philanthropist of his
only earthly reward, the respect, esteem
and admiration in which his honored
name is held by his fellow citizens, will
react upon those responsible for such
an i'll advised attempt.

1t was in small town in the sunny
south. A lyceum entertainment was
billed for the evening, and as a
magician and slight of hand performer
was advertised as one of the principal
features an old negress presented her
self at the local opera house early and
insisted on a seat in the front row of
the part reserved for persons of her
race, says the Lyceumite.
When the magician appeared ne
placed a piece of red flannel over a
newspaper and read the news through
the cloth.
The old nanny began to squirm
about.
Then the magician doubled the fan
mel and read the paper through two
thicknesses.
The old nanny turned to her neigh
Dor and said:

Her neighbor tried to reassure her,
telling her the magician would not
hurt her.
