Through the efforts Of Senator
Guggenheim and other western
senators large tracts ofgovernment
land have been opened to SETTLE
ment. These lands were temper
arily held in the forestry reserva-
ton. The act of the Taft admin
istration in throwing these lands
open to homesteaders has been
hailed by the sensational press as
a defeat of "Pinchotism," when
the real fact Is that this action is
a most complete vindication of the
whole policy of national conserva-
ton, inaugurated by President
Roosevelt and popularity denomi-
mated "Plnchotism."
The fundamental principle of
conservation of national resources
is to hold them for the actual use
of the people and lock them up
securely from the raid of the cor
porate highwaymen, the murder
ing cattle kings, the Unsuitable
coal barons and the railway trust
magnates.
1t never has been the purpose
OF the government to hold them
permanently away from the people
but only to make certain that when
released they are to be used by the
people.
No right thinking citizen ap-
proves of the policy of dissipating
or conniving for monopoly use our
natural resources in the manner
that has been in vogue for the
past fifty years and "Pinchotism"
is simply an intelligent and honest
governmental effort to protect the
peoples possessions for the widest
possible use of the people.

EDITORIAL
THANKSGIVING.

Ere this paper can be issued for
another week, Thanksgiving Day
will have come and gone, as it falls
on next Thursday, Nov. % (1909)and
we do not place our editions into
the mail until Fridays The things
for which this Nation, this State,
this County and this Town; and ev-
cry individual under whose eyes this
article passes, should thank God
are legion-tOo multitudinOus for us
to attempt to allude to only in a
general way. The adjustment of the
Tariff (while not what it should have
been) has to quite an eXtent restored
business confidence and lOosened up
matters commercial pretty well the
country over as a whole. But few
disasters have struck our land, and
while sorrows and sufferings have
been the portion of some, showers
of blessings have fell on most of US
and none have suffered in such way
that it could not have been far worse,
We uncover our head as we write
and thank jehovah for it all and may
a mighty stream Of Thanksgiving
flow up from the American millions
to the Throne on high on the day
set SO apart.

Cotton Rates Case.

Cotton Rates Case.
There was quite an attendance of rail-
road attorneys al traffic officials in
the United States court room Tuesday,
drawn there in connection with the in
junction proceedings brought by the va
zoo & Mississippi Valley Railway Com
pany, the New Orleans Great Northern
and others to restrain the Mississippi
railroad commission from the enforce
ment Of its newly accepted scale of
freight rates on uncompressed cotton
within the State. In its very elaborate
bill the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley al
leges that the proposed rates on cotton
are illegal, discriminatory, unjust and
not founded ON actual conditions, or at
the urgent solicitation of the general
body OF the taxpayers, and would have
the court permanently enioin and re-
strain the commission from enforcing
this alleged obnoxious rule. The an
swer insists and urges that the local cot
ton rate as fixed by the complainant
companies in their exhibit, as filed with
the bill, is grossly excessive and dis
criminatory as against cotton, the prin-
cipal commodity of the State. A COM
parison Is instituted between the car
riers' cotton scale and their rates on
other commodities, citing as an instance
that where the rate on bale of cotton
for u distance of five miles is SLABS per
100 pounds, the rate on bale of cot
tonseed is only 5 cents, on fertilizer 3
cents, and other commodities in proper
ton

That Inferno of many cities, lies in
a particular dangerous place in New
Orleans, as the first street from one
side of the Union Depot commences
with those blights known as bawdy
houses. BY accident recently when
in that town we passed for a block
into that portion Of the gay city,and
were astounded to find the tenderlOin
district tolerated in such close proX-
limits to the clearing house of trans
it for so large a place as the Ores
cent City. Think Of the vast number
of unaccompanied wives and daugh-
tiers of respectable folks and they
themselves above r2proach, who have
to thus pass so close to u parcel of
earth given over to the abandoned
and debauched. 1t makes us shudder
to think of the danger that turks to
virtue with such hell-trap so close
by. My God devise some way to in
cite the authorities that be, by His
suffrage, to remove such menace.
No wonder the White Slave Traffic
can flourish so balmy in some of our
modern cities.

Tribute to Bishop Galloway.

The eighth annual meeting of the
trustees of the Mississippi department
Of archives and history was held Tues
day in the hall Of history. A very in
teresting narrative report of the activ-
tiles and events of interest connected
with the work of the department was
submitted The first part Of the report
contains clearly drawn sketch of
Bishop Galloway, whose death was the
greatest blow sustained by the State as
well as the department OF history since
that of Gen. Stephen D. Lee, which was
reported at the previous annual meet
ing. The report among other things al
'5,des to Bishop Galloway as the Eek
ponent of the highest purposes, the holt
est aspirations, truest purposes, the
nest steadfast convictions, whose loss
seems unreasonable"

From the experiences that have
come to E. J. Adam Of the Pass
Christian Beacon and to a. w.
Noble of the Laurel Chronicle, it
would seem that the honors and
emoiuments do not offset the hard
ships, deprivations and shootings an
editor gets when he essays to hold
down the mayorality of his town.
The sceptre of municipal authority
and the tripod Of editorship seem
ingly do not make a healthy mix
ture. Adam is now having to suffer
custer proceedings for holding TWO
offices, as it happens some political
enemy has discovered that he holds
in addition to the Mayors job, a
puny Pilot commissionership. No
ble's was numerically berated a
little while back for his paper get
ting the county printing, while he
held the mayors office of his city,
the constitution being cited by his
critics, to show that sitting on a
town board deprived such a person
from bidding and being awarded any
of its contracts. And so it goes
Personally we prefer no more Of
public life than comes through that
channel, while editing a country
weekly. It's enough for US.

No claim is laid by US to being Ell
their q prophet or the son of a
prophet, but after gazing on other
sections of country, we are more and
more deeply impressed with the idea
that the people of the cut-over pi-
ney woods belt have got to begin
quickly to doing more digging in
order to avoid the impover1sbing
conditions that have caught those
portions where the digging vocations
were neglected till stern want drove
to it. Now it looks like surface dig
ging, or diversified farming is the
thing. Later Providence may reveal
to the people who stay after the
timber has been sent forth to the
world S markets, that deeper digging
will be more profitable Who knows
but what underneath the t,Lce pine
clad hills, lie veins OF oil and ore
which will furnish wealth incalcula-
table from the hands of an Allwise
Providence who has held it in reser-
walton till needy day. There are
numerous indications Of lron coal aid
oil! scattered all over it. Greene Coun-
ty may not have yet the indications
of the latter, but she has present
demonstration of what sensible di-
versified farming will do.

Would Increase Pensions.

An effort viii be made at the ap-
preaching session tof the Legislature to
increase the state pension appropriation
to $4,000 The present allowance is
100000 per annum, and it is estimated
that it is inadequate for the proper care
and sustenance of the INDECENT ex-Con-
federates, as proven by the heavy in
crease in the pension roll this year. In
dications are that the pension roll will
continue to show L steady increase Tor
the next five years, after which time a
steady decrease may be expected, owing
to the depletion Of the ranks by death.

Railroads File Reports.

The quarterly reports of the common
carriers doing business in Mississippi
which are reaching the office of the rail

great majority of cases the balance of
the account is on the net revenue side,
this being especially so with the larger
lines, though the comparison with the
corresponding quarter of 1908 in some
cases shows decrease.
