GREEKS BEARING GIFTS.

Each boat arriving :n Valdez from Seattle for several weeks past has brought platoon of gentlemen bear ing each handful of chattels and all ,conversing in the Greek tongue, or some Slavic dialect. They were shipped by the Tanana mine owners and it has been wierd spectacle to note these uncouth foreigners start over trail 36O miles long carrying their personal estates on their backs or dragging them on handsleds.
 After entertaining the wooden horse the Trojans discovered 5000 years ago that it is good policy to beware of Greeks bearing gifts. The Tanana mine owners may wish be- fore long that they had never thought of accepting the gift of cheap labor from Greeks and Slavs who cannot speak English. .....
 The provocation has been great. The union miners of the Tanana have raised all kinds of hell with the pro- duction of the camp but the importa- tion of cheap foreign labor is not the semedy. The Pennsylvania coal operators tried that plan and when the big strike came it was unlettered

foreigners who committed arson and murder. It was chiefly foreigners who did the killing and dynamiting in the Occur d'Alenes.
 The Tanana mine owners would accomplish more for themselves and the camp in the long run if they would simply shut down when labor agitators get too busy until a limited diet might compel the real working miners to present blue tickets to the agitators who never work. Then the owners and the workers could get together easily.

Der Of invited guests at a de-
lightful Smoker" Thursday
night of last week, and had the
most skeptical of the benefits to
be derived through the efforts OF
the Comm ercIaI Club been pre-
sent, his doubts would have been
dissipated by the interesting
program Of that occasion.
In the absence of the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Reeves, Vice-Presi-
dent, E. C. Kinds occupied the
chair, and upon calling the meet
ing to order, read a very able
article covering, as he stated,
what the president would have
said had he been present. In
the course of his remarks, he
touched on a number Of things
calculated to awaken interest of
the people of Tupelo in those
things that will 60 to benefit the
town.
Mr.. Weir, representing the
Taylor TrotWopd Magazine of
Nashville, was present and at
the suggestion of Mr.. Steinber-
ger, he was afforded an oppor-
tunity of explaining some splen-
did ideas and plans for advertis
ing the advantages to be found
here.
Private John NJ. Allen was
next on the program, and spoke
to the subject. Organized E.
fort" In his own happy way,
Mr.. Allen portrayed Tupelo as a
little City Of 'Brotherly Love-.
stating, amo ng other things, that
there was a uniformity OF effort
and a lack of knockers to be
found among the citizens OF the
place.
II c. Kincannon responded in
a few remarks on the progress OF
our new railroad.
Honorable Geo T. Mitchell,
alw. y eloquent in speaking OF
his home town, presented very
sensible and forcib.e ar1 U nent
in tavor of Tupelo, and this Sec
ton lending every encourage
ment to the prorosel new rail-
road.
Mr.. C. P. Long, as he stated
himself, not being an orator,
gifted in impromptu remarks,
had prepared an address which
he read to the very appreciatlye
audience. Mr.. Long covered so
many points so well that we give
our readers the benefit of his ad-
dress in full. Mr.. Long said;

people act and work, and how
they behave themselves and how
the individual looks upon his
town as an individual, and fol
this reason, Tupelo is a much
larger and more important place
to some of its citizens, than it is
| to others. AS an illustration
One of our enthusiastic and op-
|timistic citizens has been calm
ing and so stating, that Tupelo
now has from eight to ten thous-
and people and in a very short
time, will have twenty-five thous-
and at least; while another, more
pessimistic, declares there is not
over two hundred and fifty peo-
pie here, and those that are here
are not worth a 'durn," and SO
in order to settle this controversy
your Board Of Aldermen has
ordered, and is now having
taken, a census Of the City.
Now of course you do not ex-
pect me to name every advan-
tage we have; such as Cotton
Mills, Oil Mills, Fertilizer Fac
tory, great warehouses, wholesale
groceries, and large up-to-date
dry goods houses, and railroad
facilities, fine water, compare
lively cheap coal, and lots of
other things too numerous to
mention, for all of these things
are visible to the naked eye, and
all my hearers | suppose, are as
familiar with them as | am, un-
less it is with water, for that Is
now my long suit. The fact is,
| am confning myself to it, en-
tirely and am now 50 fond Of it,
that | take a bath every Fifth
Sunday whether I need it or not.
We have as good public schools
as any in the State, and as good
cops of teachers, both white and
black. Our Electric Light and
Water plants. all owned by the
City, are excelled by none, and
equally few, and are furnishing
light and water to the citizens
of the City, / dare say, cheaper
than the people in. nine out of
ten of the other Cities of the
country are getting theirs, and
at the same time, lighting the
streets at comparatively no cost
to the public; the tax rate of our
city is lower than most any other

anything like similar conditions

we'll as in mama, when we take

ably with those Of any other
place, and are far ahead of a
great many.
Now | could spend a grea t
deal of time naming other things,
which ] think could be considered
as advantages, which would set
! forth the desirable things about
Tupelo, but suffice it to say, that
taken as a whole, no more suit
able or better place to raise ones
family up to useful manhood and
womanhood can be found than
Tupelo, and this. at least gentle
men, is the best asset a CON-
munity can have to boast of.
Now having allof these things
the next question is, how are we
to advertise them. so as to add
/ to the wealth, size and desirable
ity of our City. as a home and
as an abiding place and who dc
we want to advertise it to? The

can be given to Tupelo, is a good

lands that, Notwithstanding the joint
resolution adopted by both houses tc
temporarily withdraw all tax lands
from the state until a law can be en-
acted changing the methods of han
ding and selling these lands so the
state can realize more for them, he
does not see how he could refuse tC
sanction the sale of 100000 odd acres
to the Grimmer company if the latter
makes tender of the legal amount Of
money for the lands. The law, he
said, is specific that when the amount
of taxes due on such lands, together
with accrued interest, penalties and
other specified charges is offered the
lands must be sold. The company has
not made such an offer, but they may
when they realize that legislation is
pending to shut them and others who
contemplate purchasing, out of the

ANTI-JAPANISM.
Okuma Praises Taft and Talks Of Re-
striction Measures.


Count Okuma, former president Of
the progressive party, has written an
article in which he unreservedly
praises President Taft for his policy
as embodied in his inaugural address.
In regard to that portion of the ad-
dress dealing with the treaty rights OF
aliens, Okuma says that 1t would be
matter for universal rejoicing should
the delicate relations between the fed
eral and the state constitutions be ad-
justed in a manner thoroughly COM
patible with national honor and the
standing of the United States as a
highly civilized power.
In respect to the naval program, as
laid down in the inaugural speech, the
count processes to fully concur. He
writes that President Taft believes
that such an outcome Is an unavoid-
able demand of the times and ridi-
cules the idea that it is directed
against Japan.
Regarding immigration, the count
cannot entertain the idea OF restric-
ton as principle, but he Is unoppos-
ed to It as temporary measure for
preventing unnecessary excitement
and irritation when Japan is unfor-
tunately the object of the unwarrant-
able suspicion. In conclusion he says:
Local anti-Japanism is not Of Sc
rious concern and will disappear when
they cease to be haunted by need
less suspicion. The true American
sentiment will ultimately prevail, es-
pecially under the guidance of great,
fair-minded statesman of the eminent
ly peaceful disposition of President
Taft"
