likely she will be found. But nothing is
known of the brothers.

The crying need OF the day Is
fewer men with ideas and more men

salaries are small, on the theory, l
suppose, that the honor Of public

Benefits both Rich and Poor.

Editor Press and Banner:
notice that your paper is not In favor or
sion to aay something on that line through
your valuable columns.
In my way OF thinking the lien law Ia one
of the best laws on our statute books. 1t ts
number. 1t helps both the rich and the poor.
Did the House not make great mistake
ut the last session OF the Legislature, when
they repealed the law? Did not the Senate
bill passed By the House to repeal the lien
law? Suppose the Senate had not killed the
bill; when Judge Brawley declared the Con-
tract Law unconstitutional, what protection
would the landlord have bad for advancesf
or what protection would the merchant have
had for advances? None. Renters and tep-
ants are the farm laborera. They could nave
taken their crop TO market and sold II u
theylhad been SO disposed. and neither the
landlords nor the merchants could have
helped themselves. But when the Senate
killed the bill to repeal the lien law, IL left
the law in ful force which makes It An misd;,
saved the landlord and the merchant and is
safeguard for their proteotion.
The great number OF liens that is given
every year show the necessity OF the law.
Take away the lien law, and you take away
the only means of credit that the poor man
has 10 get bread for his children; and you
will injure the merchants trade. and lessen
the bankers loans, and inJure the banking
business.
It might be said, how does this benefit
come TO the Door man through the lien law.

The great majority Of our merchants have

law gives them chance 10 give lien on
their crops to the merchant: It gives the mer-
chant then. basis Of security 10 borrow the

poor men could not give lien on their crops

over it, which I won in the courts.
When It was settled The Cooper Medi-

wildfre wherever introduced. AS I
have said before, it is successful sim-
ply because it puts the stomach in
perfect shape, then nature does the
rest. There are any number Of com.
