Nav Brine Out Important Facts.

In seems incredible that American
courts will recognize that a friend or
relative of the president has a sacro-
sanct character, emitting him to have
the nation prosecute his alleged libel
err, as one guilty of treason. But, II
the courts shall admit such a prosecu-
ton, certain public benefits should re-
suit. >.
We should get a large amount OF
evidence under oath as to what has
become of some of the money already
spent on the Panama canal enterprise.
There have been great difficulties in
finding out what has become of some
$40, O00, 900 of the Panama canal ex-
penditure-who got it and what they
gave in exchange for it. There is
widespread suspicion that the nation
was victimized at Panama from the
outset.
And, in view of the fact that a n
which we were told originally would
cost only $135, 900, 00O is expected now
to cost over $500, 600, 60, the fullest
information about Panama expendi-
lures is distinctly Observation-Disclosures
Inter Ocean.

RooseveIt's True Worth.

The Greeks were wise in their
philosophy that no man should be
called entirely happy until he was
wholly dead. 1t will be Mr.. Roose-
velt's fault, and almost exclusively his
fault, if those who have perhaps too
hastily concluded that history would
call his administration great should
be compelled to revise their opinion.
A miserable ending in strife and broil,
where the language of insult is used
upon one side provoking stern rebukes
from the other, would SO becloud Mr..
Roosevelt's administration that it's
unpleasant final months would hold
in many minds a larger place than all
the achievements that had gone be-
fore. The country is certainly inter
ested in the quarrel, but it is not edi-
fed. 1t is shameful, it is well-nigh as
undigniied as a street fight between
reputable men, it is regretted and de-
plored by every American who dis.
likes to see the reputation of his coun-
try furnished. 1t is fervently to be
hoped that Mr.. Roosevelt will make at
least private admission of his errors
and offenses, and refrain from further
~proyocations. That will be the best
ending Of what is from any point of
view a pretty bad situation for him.

The CONGRESS Engineer Corps.

The IA eminent engineers of the
congress committee, graduated from
the political caucus and ward primary
and now taking a postgraduate course
in the house of representatives, de-
liver a vastly important message to
the world. They have had a little
junket' down to Panama and back,
opened a few bottles of cheer on the
voyage, drawn to some poker hands,
and decided-pronuncing their judg-
ment by wireless telegraph-that the
Panama canal, as il is now building,
has their strongest professional ap-
proval. They could build a Panama
canal like that once every two years
between congress district campaigns.
Will those men of the merely tech
nical sphere of America and Europe,
whose business is rearing dams, dig
ging canals and Harvesting water
power, and who express the gravest
doubts of the success and even OF the
possibility of completion of the plan
in it's present form-will those green
horns and amateurs now please be
good?

Next Gubernatorial Contest.

Speculations as to the next guberna-
torial candidates in Mississippi become
more numerous and more positive, and
even thus far in advance considerable
interest is being manifested in the lists.
1t is settled that Hon. Charles Scott and
Hon. Earl Brewer are the only men
who were candidates in the last race
who will make another trial before the
people two years hence. 1t is being
whispered around Jackson that Con
gresham Gambler of the First District
may determine to make the race. An
other suspect" is President George X.
Hightower of the Farmers Union, but 1t
is not believed here that he has any
idea of getting his great farmers or
ganization mixed up in politics. Chan
cellor A. A. Kincannon, of the State Um-
versity, has also been mentioned IN con-
~nection with the governors office.

Statewide Law and Order League.

The wave of criminalty and the large
number of violent and ~blood-letting
crimes which have darkened the pages of
Mississippi's recent history; the appeals
of judges to grand juries to investigate
thoroughly and return for trial all who
are guilty of, violation of the laws, in so
many cases, with only moderate effect;
all these are causes which prompt the
leaders of men in the State to take steps
to cultivate higher ideals of the statutes,
and in a definite way to pave the way
to the formation of a statewide law
and order league. Such a movement has
been planned in a quiet way for some
time past, and in certain local instances
organizations have been effected, and
the purpose now is to centralize, and
thereby extend the movement through
out the State.

TRUTH COMING OUT
RICH "PRoTEcTED" MANuFAc-
TURERS ARE TALKING.
Hioh Tariff Schedules Admitted by
Their Beneficiaries to Be Plain
Robbery-Statement Of Truth
at Least Encouraging.

The average American can not fail
to be impressed with the dual atti-
tude assumed by certain prominent
manufacturers as witnesses before the
ways and means committee.
In one breath, a witness will admit
that as a corporation manager he is
in favor of high tariff. In the next
breath he will admit that as an in
dividual citizen and speaking for the
great body Of American consumers
he favors a sweeping reduction in tar
if schedules.
Other manufacturers want the
schedules changed in other lines OF
production and left alone, or made
higher, in their own. Still others favor
the entire removal of customs duties
in their own particular line, while
championing stiff schedules on other
manufactured goods.
When the National Association OF
Manufacturers sent Mr.. Miles, chair
man of it's tariff committee, as a wit
ness the other day he promptly dis
claimed speaking for other manufac-
turers and could give his individual
opinion only. He favored free steel
and even free farming implements,
which are made by his OWL company.
He said in effect that farmers were
being robbed by the present tariff
schedule, and we're entitled to the re-
ductiOn.
This was almost a bombshell in Mr..
Payne's committee. The idea of a
manufacturer whose corporation
amasses wealth from high tariff ia
king the side of American consumers
was contrary to all traditions.
But the truth will come out. Be-
sides Carnegie, who is too rich to
need protection" any more, there are
active manufacturers who get tired
playing the Mr.. Hyde role in tar
if matters. When they think Of con
sumers' burdens they become DR.
Jekylls.
The average corporation or trust is
p~roverbially soulless. The men who
manage the trusts are not bound by
any rule of ethics, except to make
money for the stockholders. AS in
dividual American citizens and intel
ligent students of economic problems
they freely admit that high tariff
schedules are often plain robbery OF
consumers.
1t is encouraging to find some lead
ing manufacturers inclined to tell the
truth in the interest of American con
SumerS.
