A blase observer, looking over the
variegated display of unconventional
dress on the floor of the senate not
long ago rendered the opinion that If
haberdashery had been as far ad-
vanced then as now the statesmen of
that glorifed period would have ia
ken advantage of it. But it does knock
school book ideals to flinders, never
theless, to view the realities of to-
day. Convention as to attire is losing
ground even faster than the traditions
that are falling under the force of rad
ical senators who recently have en-
tered the senate. Since Vice-Presi.

suit of blue Georgia cotton, the sen.
ators have been blossoming out il

The southern senators are more prone
to cling to the boiled shirt" Collec.

gee. AS yet, however, no statesman
has removed his shoes, as a southern
senator did his boots one sultry day

XT ASHINGTON.-A novel and grue-
w some scheme for forcing states
men to part with their money has just
been discovered in Washington, with
the result that congressman are laugh
ing heartily at the recent experience
of Representatives Murdoch of Kan

who was prominent in the house insur-
rection against the Cannon rules, tells
the story on himself to show, he says,
that, though the insurrection isn't
dead yet, the hand of death occasion
ally weighs upon him.
The Kansan, according to his story,
was sitting not long ago in his Office
meditating revenge on the Cannonites,
when an impressive-looking negro en-
tered and inquired if he were Mr. Muir
dock. Mr. Murdoch assured him that
he was correct.

COOKING CLASS AND SALOON
Preparation of Good Nourishing Meals
and Attractive Homes Keeps
Men from Liquor.

1t is not merely good cooking, the
preparing Of good, nourishing meals,
that the cooking classes in our schools
aim at, but the making Of home SO at
tractiVe that it is a hardship to leave
it for the saloon. 1t isn't the drink
that attracts most of those who resort
there, asserts Jacob Riis in an article
on the public schools in the House
keeper. 1t is the cheer, the good fell
lowship, the appetizing lunch set out
to go with the beer. The devil is no
fool, but lots of those who fight him
are or they would have seen long ago
that to win they have got to study his
ways. The cooking school is a chap
ter in the new book of tactics bor-
rowed from him, and it is often
needed in the small towns, even In the
country, quite as much as in the sIum
tenement. Home-making is a lost art
in many hamlet, and that is why we
hear of youth going to waste there
in a way that is wholly indefen-
sible. They lack the real home that
hallows everything it touches, from
the relation between father and son
down to the social game of cards with
neighbors. The right kind of a cook
ing school tries to put that back In
the fight against the saloon it has
Mrs. Carrie Nation and all her cohorts
beaten to a standstill.

Senate Puzzled Over Roosevelt Busts

While Senator Wetmore, Chairman
of the library committee, has not com
mitted himGelf in favor of either one
it is rumored that he and the otheE
members of the committee are dis
posed to award the palm to strenT
osity
'Tis said they think the senate viii
feel more at home with that one look
ing down on its deliberations. But
the rub comes on account of the fact
that Col. Roosevelt has himself ex.
pressed preference for his reposeful
self.
Before he left the White House he
was shown the work of Mr.. Frazier
and did not hesitate a moment in
mank his choice.
OF course, the committee recognizes
that Col. Roosevelt ought to have
something to say about his own bust,
but the question it is trying to decide
is how much. The committee is in.
clined to think that the senate ought
to have something to say about the
matter, too.
1t is truly knOtty problem, and ons
that is likely to cause the library
committee much worry.

INSANITY CAUSED BY ALCOHOL
Ii the Direct Source in the General
Population in II to is per
Cent. of Cases.

Alcohol is a direct cause of insan-
ity in the general population in about
l. per cent. to Is per cent. of cases
about 20 per cent. of men and ten
per cent of women. 1t is a direct
cause of the serious types of insanity
(the non-alcoholic) in about two per
! cent of cases, says DR.. Charles l..
Dana, New York physician.
1t is an important associative cause
in about one-third Of the cases of
paresis, figures varying in different
countries.
Alcoholism in parents is present in
about five per cent OF the insanities
in this region. 1t is a larger factor
in countries where poverty and poorer
economic conditions prevail
In both my private and hospital sta
tistics, alcoholism in parents is pres
ent in about five per cent of cases of
idiocy and epilepsy Much higher
figures are given by French observers.)
The consumption of alcohol in diff
ferent countries ranges from about
eight to Is litres of alcohol per capita
per year.
The amount of insanity in diff
ferent countries does not vary with
this per capita amount 1t is less in
Italy than in the United Kingdom,
though the per capita amount of al
cohol drunk is about two litres more
in the former country. Alcoholism is
rare among Jews, while insanity is
two to four times more prevalent. AL
coholism is one-half to one-third less
frequent in women, but insanity is as
frequent as in men. In Judea and
Egypt alcoholic insanity is rare, but
insanity from hashisch makes up
about 80 per cent. of cases. There is
in Russian soldiers.
There is another factor than that of
alcohol which causes alcoholic insani-
ties and that is homeopathic consti-
tuition which Graves alcohol and can
not exercise control over it's use.
Hence, as long as our social condi-
tons breed this constitution we have
not entirely solved tie problem.
Nevertheless, the most important
early effort to make is toward reduc-
ing the amount of alcohol used and
stopping its present steady increase.
Every nation has about a mean drink
ing capacity 6 to II liters of alcohol
yearly per capital. If it gets beyond
this there rapidly ensues a great in
crease of insanity as we'll as crime.
All nations seem to be getting above
their average. statistics up to 1900
and 1860
Alcohol, both as a direct and indi-
rect cause of insanity, works espe-
cially on the young and in the earlier
half of life, when habits are formed
and most children are bred.
An active educational propaganda
against the use of alcohol by persons
under 30 would do more good than at
tempts to stampede at once the bev-
erage from society. Almost all drunk
enness and dipsomania develop before
50.
Beer is no safer beverage than
whisky, and it seems probable that
light, pure wines are the safest form
OF drink. In France and Italy, as well
as here, the inebriate uses always not
only wine, but gin, whisky, brandy,
abSinthe etc

A MARBLE bust of Theodore ROose-
"A welt is soon to be placed in niche

Adams. The sculptor, James L..
Frazier of New York city, has finished

of the court conferred together, and after
going over the lengthy document pre-
pared by Smiths counsel, an order over

JACKSON.
Railroad Assessments Raised.

Notwithstanding all the protests and
arguments advanced by the officials and
attorneys of the Illinois Central and
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley systems
against any advance in their assessment
valuations, the railroad commission,
after full consideration, concluded to add
an extra $1,000 per mile to the ad va
loren valuation of each of these great
systems, which comprise in the aggre-
gate, with their branch lines, more than
so per cent. of the railway mileage OF
the state. In the case of the Illinois
Central the valuation was carried out at
$21 ZOO a mile ON the main line, as
against $40, 900 previously, while the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley main line
stands assessed at $4,000, which is also
an increase of ST. 900 a mile.
The Louisville & Nashville was also
subjected to an increase, the valuation
being $4,000, as against $4,000 under
previous assessments. This, with the
amount figured against the two systems
mentioned above, constitutes all of the
material increase as made, with some
slight increase among some of the newer
and less extensive systems.

Mississippi Exhibit Train.

Capt. j. F. Merry, immigration agent
of the Illinois Central, announces to the
farmers of Mississippi that the exhibit
train of that company will start on its
annual tour through the West and North
west Aug. 30, and all Mississippi farm
ers who desire to send exhibits are re-
quested to notify him to this effect.
The annual trip of the exhibit train
will be somewhat later this year than
usual, owing to secure creditable dis
plays of the agricultural resources of
Mississippi, and free transportation will
be given to such products. Upon appli-
cation to Capt. Merry Shipping tags will
be furnished, and full instructions given
how to send exhibits.
1t is believed that the annual trip of
the train has had a good result in at
tracing desirable white settlers to Mis-
sissippi from the thickly populated agri-
cultural regions of the North and North
west.

prayer and uplifting thought, and they
saw him transformed before them, so
that even his poor garment shone in

air, out of those prayers spoken with
only God as listener, came the trans

Home trade! Home trade!
It's better far than roam trade.
So keep your darling dollars in the town
Lend them, spend them.
But never, never send them
Around the world to wander up and down.
The celebrated American poet who
penned those immortal lines might
have added a prose footnote to the
effect that roam trade will cease when
home trade makes the same effort to
get business as roam trade makes
in other words, when the home mer-
chant advertises adequately in the
home paper.

Experts Do Not Fear Boil weevil.

Confirmation of the report that the
general Mexican boil weevil has been
found in Pontotoc county has caused an
uneasiness among the special agents of
the United States department of agricuI-
ture bureau of plant industry, employed
in the Mississippi field. The find in Pom
totoc is believed to be of sporadic char
acter, and advices from the neighborhood
where the discovery was made, state
that the insect does not prevail in large
numbers. 1t has served to give the farm
ers a genuine scare, and crop diversified
ton will doubtless be generally adopted
