Forecast of Policies.

Certain Republican Senators,
who saw the draft of Mr.. Taft's
inaugural address during his
two days stay in New Orleans
recently, are giving to their as
sociates a forecast of the Taft
policies as set forth in this docu-
ment. The dominant note. it is
stated, is one of reassurances to
the sound business interests OF
the country, with a broad intima'
ton that the President-elect is in
favor of amending the Sherman
antitrust law so as to remove
the harsh restrictions OF that
statute and admit of a reasonable
degree of combination among
corporations, under Federal su-
pervision.
You will be safe in saying"
said a Republican Senator who
saw the Taft address, that the
new President will endeavor to
re.establish confidence among
the big business interests OF the
,o+;o,, Conservatism will mark
his first speech as President.
This does not mean that there
will be in his address anything
that could be construed as a slap
at his predecessor. A better
way to express it would be to
say that Mr.. Taft favors the
Roosevelt policies, but not the
Roosevelt methods. What the
, country needs now is something
| that will demonstrate that there
| will be no hasty adoption OF Ill,
+ considered laws intended to har-
ass corporations. Uncertainty
y regarding the future course OF
Congress in this direction had a
S great deal to do with bringing on
q the panic and with continuing
9 the industrial depression. These
- interests will be definitely reas
n sured by Mr.. Taft's Inaugural
~ address.

Sensible Views Concerning Cosmetics.

Remember that beauty is not
skin deep, and defects cannot be
rubbed away with cold cream or
massage. Every good complex

Electrical treatment is good for
women who fear the advances OF

dry and wrinkled, but youth
needs no such usage. If you are
young, let your face alone.
Watch what goes into your
stomach, for it will surely come
out on your skin. Rich food, as

to plain, nourishing things, more

The Spells System in State Banking


We notice that a movement is
afoot to have the interest rate of
three and a half per cent on the
Louisiana's State deposits re-
duced to three per cent. 1t will
be recalled that Governor San
ders and the State Board of Lii
quotation raised the rate on
these deposits from the three
per cent recommended by the
State Legislature to three and
a half per cent.
1t will be recalled that the de-
positaries designated by the
State first refused these depos-
it's and then accepted them tenn
porarily.
Now an agitation is under way
to lower the rate of interest.
| We have maintained all along
that the fair way for the Gov
ernor and the State Board to ap-
lportion these deposits is to allow
the banks to bid on them.
One bank, in the eyes of the
State, is as good as another. All
pay equal taxes to the State.
These taxes by the way are far
too heavy. All the State banks
are subject to State examination
and have the States stamp of
solvency.
Why, then, should the State OF
Louisiana pick out certain banks
as State depositaries and give its
deposits to one or several of these
banks as opposed to the others
The interest rate has very lit
tie to do with the principle in
volved. The way to apportiol
Q these deposits is either to lie

The Highest Law.

Referring to the trial of T. j.
Hams, The Outlook domains an
editorial, which we should like to
have our readers peruse in full,
so much does it synchronize
with our views as expressed, last
week. Perhaps these passages
are the best:
"The idea of honor which un-
derlies this kind of manslaughter
belongs to the Dark Ages. 1t is
a survival of barbarism-of the
blood feud; and the Hams case
shows a tendency to enlarge the
circle of avengers so as to include
the collateral branches of the
family. This is precisely what
prevailed under the barbarous
code. Any member Of a family
could kill at sight a man alleged
to have committed an Otfense
against the family. The real
sentiment out of which these
crimes of violence spring is not a
sense of outraged honor, but Of
uncontrolled passion; of the hate
of a man against the man whom
he thinks has injured him; OF the
savage desire for vengeance
: which can find satisfaction only
, when blood is shed. Alta matter
. of fact, to kill a man who has OF

On Thinking Glad.

Never mind change of scene
Try change of thinking.
What if things seem sordd, mean,
What's the use of blinking?
Lies not always storm and cloud,
Somewhere stars are shining.
Try to think your Joys out loud,
Silence all repining.
By degrees, by thinking light,
Thinking glad and sWeetly,
You'll escape the stress of night,
Worry gone completely,
Get the habit looking for
Sunbeamg pirouetting,
Tapping gaily at your door
Surest cure for fretting.

fully know that our salvation must be
worked out here, within one honest party,
made honest-if you like-by circum-
stances which no political evangelist can
lead us from.
1.-THE call of the south is a call to the
south. Some of you have just crossed
miles of land awaiting the developing
brain and hand of the white man, noW

You have felt a climate, even when at
tempting to be hot, tempered with cool

is warmed with balmy breezes-a climate
which invites out of doors every day In
the year. You have searched the status
tics and learned that in the movements
of men on the surface of the earth, SO per
cent move toward the equator. You know
that mans needs will soon make ice
cheaper in summer than water, and heat
In winter merely a question of turning
button or a valve and comfort here mere
ly a question of work and knowledge. You
know that the former pests of the south,
laziness and fever, have practically been
eradicated, the doctors having taught us
that the former results from the work

the mosquito.

not even invited, indeed being urged to
stay away, but now 1t is different-you
are asked to come and stay, the harvest
is ripe, the laborers are few come
where men are manly and women-God
bless them-are womanly; come where
occasionally some men or even laws may
be over erratic, but where finally a safe
and sane policy will be adopted; come
where you can live at all times and say
in thanks, with plenty of health and
enough of wealth, let us live for 1t Is

Census Man Expects Trouble.

Capt. J.. B. Yellowly of Ridgeland, APP
pointed census supervisor for the Eighth
District, was in jackson in conference
with L. B. Moseley and others about the
Federal building. Capt. Yellowly states
that his troubles and ~perplexities have
Just begun, and he has no idea that
there will be any cessation until after
his final report as district supervisor is
made to the director of the census.
There will be a limited number of emu
merators employed, yet the applications.
even this far in advance, indicate that
the rush will be heavy later on.

Powers Names Substitute.

State Superintendent of Education
Powers returned from a trip of several
days duration, and regretted that he
could not join the Sisson agricultural
instruction party, which started out at
Pontotoc. The best thing that he could
do was to arrange with Superintendent
r. A. Early, of Yalobusha county public
schools, to represent the State depart
ment of education generally, and he is
satisfied that Prof. Early is the right
man to accompany the government spe-
c~ialists on their two weeks trip through
the Fourth Congressional District. The
attendance has been good SO far, and
will improve as the party moves from
county to county.

Farmers Union Grows.

If the increased price of cotton ha:
had any ~deteriorating effect upon the
membership of the Farmers Union in
Mississippi, the officials of that organi'
cation are unable to notice it. Former
experiences with similar organizations
have been that when the members got
what they wanted they quit trying. The
officers assert, however, that there has
not only been no falling off in the mem
bership, but that it has steadily increased
during the past few weeks.

Scott and Brewer Will Run.

Although it will be more than a year
before the next campaign for State Off
GERS. there is much discussion round the
capitol building as to who the candidates
for the various offices are likely to be.
1t is most difficult, however, to draw
any of the officers or prospective candi-
dates into a discussion of their own
plans. In the race for governor there are
two certainties, the Hon. Charles Scott,
the Rosedale planter, and the Hon. Earl
Brewer, the Clarksdale lawyer. Besides
these, Lieut.-Gov. Luther Manship has
been often urged to get in the race,
but has never consented to do so. For
mer Lieut.-Gov. Stands OF Sardls, lately
of the Tulane College faculty in New
Orleans, and DR.. J. d. Donald, OF Hattles-
burg, have been prominently mentioned.
