Congress Too Generous.
Regarding the subject of grants
to private parties the president
said that congress had been Alto
gether too generous in times gone
by. An instance of this was the
grant given the Pacific" rail-
roads.
Pledged to Roosevelt Policies.
There has been a good deal OF
discussions in the newspapers as
to the attitude of the administra-
ton toward the general policy of
conservation OF resources, and in
some, unfair and although I'M
founded differences have been
drawn. The trust is, my admin
istration is pledged to follow out
the policies of Mr.. Roosevelt in
this regard, and while that pledge
does not involve me in any obliga-
ton to carry them out unless I
have congressional authority to do
so, it does require me to take
every step and exert every legi
innate influence upon congress to
enact legislation which shall best
subserve the purposes indicated"
Ballinger In Accord With Him.
Secretary Ballinger of the inter-
ior department, upon whom will
fall the duty of executing the new
of the law, is In entire
accord with me as to the necessity
for promoting In every legitimate
way the conservation of the re-
sources which I have named and
he can be counted upon to use the
great influence which he must
have as secretary of the interior
to this proper end. Indeed, 1t
will be found that in his reports
as commissioner of the general
land office he brought these mat
tiers to the attention Of congress
and urged the adoption of a gen
eral policy along the lines ! have

l could walk on the rest of the

miles, and 1t was only a little

on five marches more, and it

SYDNEY, G. B., Sept. u.s.
Walking the streets of Sydney,
glum, detected and heartbroken,
is Capt. Robt. Bartlett, COM
mander of the Roosevelt. the man
who took Peary's boat into the
teeth of the frozen Arctic ocean
and then led the tramp north
ward to the eighty-eighth degree
of latitude, 100 miles from the
pole.
Here in Sydney, where every
body knows him, they would
laugh you to scorn were you to
say that this big, broad-shoulder-
ed skipper, this six-feet-four of
husky bone and steel-spring mus
Gle, had ever bowed his head in
tears. Yet the captain will tell
you himself, If you have his conf
dence, that he cried when Peary
turned him-the last white man
back at So degrees north lati-
tude.
He pleaded to go on. but Peary
was obdurate, and moved on with
the Eskimos and Henson.
II stood still in my tracks,"
said the captain, watching them
out of sight over the ice.

Perhaps may have gone a
little crazy to think that l couldn't
60. too. When l begged the COM
mander to let me come with him
he finally said that l might push
on alone, and SO wild was my de-
sire that l actually attempted it..
with nothing to aid or
guide, with provisions enough
only for few days, I turned my
face towards the pole and set
out alone over the bleak fastness-

] Travelled thus, stumbling on,
before my senses returned and
saw how foolhardy my attempt
and turned back"
1t is a pathetic story, this of
Capt. Bartlett; the story of a
great disappointment, of the shat
tering of daring, strong mans
dream of a lifetime. He told of
his keen ambition to have accom-
panied his commander when he
struck out, and in his uncon-
scious burst of confidence drew a
dramatic picture of hating in the
frozen unknown, almost to the
eighty-eighth parallel, and argu-
ing, begging and almost quarrel
ing with his superior to be allow
ed to go to the end.
! asked the captain what he
was going to do-what were his
plans for the future.
II guess I'll have to go back"
he replied. There is nothing for
me here. am not good enough
for anything else. The lure of
the north is in my blood and I've
got to go back.
Man, you don't know what il
is. You've got to go up there tc

Press Association In Historic Wckshurg.

] We attended the Press Association at
| Vicksburg from 1921 of May. 1t is not
| necessary to add that it was season Of
unspeakable pleasure and enjoyment
Vicksburg prior to the war between
| the States was next to the most historic
| town within the state, Natchez, no
doubt, leading, but the scenes enacted
during the civil war, the siege, depriva-
tion, stan vation, disaster and destruct-
ion in all forms, places Vicksburg by
far the most historic city, not only with
| in the state, but she stands preeminent-
1ly so in America
The National Cemetery and National
Park demonstrates most cOncluSively
the opinion of the writer. The monu-
ments erected and dedicated to the
memory Of the Federal soldiery of the
numerous states will in the course OF
time amount to millions of dollars and
are of the most beautiful designs and
bearing loving Inscriptions.
Vicksburg was to give inspiration to
the Union Army. General Grant over
powered our Confederate forces on a
great National Holiday, July 4th. 1868.
General starvation was a great auxiliary
to the great, good, and grand chieftain,
General U. s. Grant. Out of chaos d
great city has risen upon the banks of
the great Father of Waters; a city of
oor,noroo rayOp porS SohoolS and col :
leges and factories of various kinds and
we will say, and truthfully we believe,
the greatest people upon the face Of
the earth, or as great, for the Lord said,
''Let there be light and there was
light" and these people out of chaos
said ''Let us build great city" and they
did it..
Vicksburgers are warm hearted, cor
dial and hosptable and to know them
and know what they have achieved one
must visit the wonderfully magic city.
There are so many things pleasing to
the eye and of interest and instructive
to be seen and to truly appreciate the
| city and surroundings one must visit
this truly historic city, city that forms
so much history for our old Common
| wealth and our glorious America, and
every Mississippian who can ought to
visit old historic Vicksburg, for it will
do you good.
We are thankful for the many kind
nesses and courteSies extended by the
good people during our sojourn while
