THE WICKED TRUSTS,

In his special message to Congress
President Taft declares that the wicked
trusts should be disciplined.
Are there any trusts, such as control
the necessities of life which are not
wicked
Trusts would be impossible without
the protective tariff of the Republican
party.
This is fact which is well under
stood by men possessed OF average
sense The proper and the most effec-
tive discipline of the trusts is the Dem
ocratic doctrine: A tariff for revenue
only-free trade and seamen's rights.
With taxation limited to actual needs
of the government, economically admin
isteTed, there would be no need of the
protection enjoyed by the trusts and the
nonopolies which thrive and grow in
solent and dictatorial from their plum
dering of the consumers under the guise

One said to be familiar with the facts

IACKsoN,s DAY.

January Eighth is Jackson's Day.
1t was on January 8, 1875, that the
Battle of New Orleans was fought.
AS related in history, General Andrew
Jackson of Tennessee, in military
sense, with handful of men, mostly
raw recruits, defeated General Packen-
ham, by whose army of trained veter-
ans he was outnmnbered three to one.
It is not this great victory alone nor
his feats in war with the Indians, which
have emblazoned Jackson's name and
fame on the glorious record Of his
country.
AS a civilian and, as we may say. a
home man who idolized his wife, his
virtues may be emulated. He was a
man Of purpose and of will indolnitable.
He was without fear and had duty all
ways Is a guide.
II was perhaps as President Of the
United States that he developed the in-
liexibility Of his character

iitieal schemers, Al there are today at

Among the schemes OF his day was

trail Bank plan OF today, which has
many advocates in Congress. but Jack
son could not nor would not be uliSlej.
In brief. he smashed this money scheme
into srnithereens and relieved his coun-
try from what promised to develop into
highway robbery and swindIing of the
people.
If Jackson were President today, the
schesners AT Washington who are advo-
eating d Central Bank, who are plead
ing for ship subsidy. and who have
their hands alomst within the reach of
the treasury, would be scattered as
schaff to the four winds: but Jackson
is not President, and therefore, the
scherners and the combines whose in
fiuence and power are manifest at
Washington have, in a sense, full sway
over legislation which is designed to
be profitable to the interests,
However, we may reverence the
memory of the man who was ever true
to his home and his friends, to prin-
ciples and to his God.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

Winter. the Niobe of the seasons is
with US, and wrapt in her habiliments,
the dying year expired. But is it not
prophetic, that as the year closes her
Book of Remembrance, her departing
/ tribute to mankind, is a new birth, a
Nativity, the effulgence of which has
lost none of its lustre as We look down
the vista of departing years, but on the
contrary, this Day Star is the Night of
our tribulation, casts halo, a benef-
cent prophecy over our lives, just as a
roseate tinted twilight is the harbinger
Of another perfect day
Is not this interim its self, prophetic
of mans existence; between the opales-
cent morning of his birth, and the
breaking of an eternal day, lie all the
mystery of the years o golden hours

evolved into span of time we call
year. how many heart beats, how many
throes of agony, how many faltering as
pirations toward the good, the beautiful,
and the true have conspired to form
this allotted time
The goblet of Life pressed to the
questioning or unquestioning lips, there
lies the difference. THE Tulip from

may our days go on; and life not be

of decay doth roughly close us in" we
may still be listening to the music of the
spheres, conscious that only in n1inistra-
tons to our fellow man, can be found
the true nepenthe for the Soul.
None of us are expatriates from the
Kingdom of Heaven, but in the crucible
of suffering, and out of cataclysm of
pain, the soul struggling to rehabilitate
its self, may feel with the poet who
said,
Build thee more stately mansions, o my
soul,
As the swift seasons roll;
Leave thy low-yaulted past;
Let each new temple, nobler than the

Shut thee from heaven with a dome |
more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's
unresting sea.

DESOTO FAIR
Organization Proposed by the Farmers
Union-Potato Growing.

At the last meeting of the Mansfield
Truck Growers Association they bought
SI7oo bushels of Irish potatoes for seed,
which will plant $50 acres. A number
of farmers have saved their own seed.
but the idea prevails that seed brought
from northern points will mature ear
her than the home product. However,
some of the most successful farmers
hold different view, and always save
their own seed. These potatoes will be
marketed May I, and the crop has been
very profitable one for the past two
years.
The Farmers Union for the parish of
DeSoto, at its last meeting, took the
initiative in organizing Parish Fair,
and a meeting will be held at this place
within a short time for the purpose of
perfecting the organization. Tie mer-
chants and other business men, in fact
all the people, have been invited to CO.
operate. Several parties interested in
the development of Mansfield have sig
nihed Willingness to cooperate to
considerable extent, and it is probable
that the fair grounds will be located

SELLING THE EARN


Well, yes, we settled, ma and l, that we
would sell the farm;
We are getting on in years and toll has
has somehow lost its charm.
80 we said we thought it time to lay
some of life's burdens down,
And the married children thought we
ought to buy home in town.
Well, purchaser came right along, for
I'll own I'm free to say,
hat better or prettier place you might
search for many day,
With its fertile fields and wooded hills
and meadows lush and green,
And buildings snug and neat and trim
as any ever seen.
But its strange how old familiar things
will Irvine around the heart.
And we never dream how close they
cling till we sense that we must part
And when it come to business. sir, that's
what | meant to tell,
We found precious lot of things that
somehow wouldn't sell.
There's the willow that ma planted some
forty years ago;
1t has grown into a mighty tree with
branches dropping low.
And the children played beneath its
shade when the days were long and
warm
/ wouldn't sell that willow tree for the
price of this old farm.
And its curious how we grow to love
the things we plant and tend
Every tree in that old orchard seems
just like human friend.
And | couldn't help but mediate how
we'd miss them, ma and |,
That tree of Golden Pippins and that
hardy Northern Spy.
And then the precious memories that
cluster round the place
They seem to fill these homely rooms
with beauty and with grace.
We could seem to see the children fit
ing blithely here and there,
And to hear their merry voices calling,
calling everywhere.
Then one day | found ma sitting by the
rose bush at the door
With the wistful look upon her face I'd
noticed there before.
And ! just dropped down beside her and
she looked up at me,
And some thing blurred our dim old
eyes till somehow we couldn't see. /
And then We settled, then and there,
that we'd stay on this old place,
Til the Lord secs fit to call us to stand
before His face.
And we're mighty glad to tell you, sir,
we have no desire to roam,
For We think we know Just what it
means TO sell the old farm home.

THE BALLINGER INVESTIGA-
TON.

1t is no longer possible for the Re
pubIicans to eyade an investigation of
the charges against Secretary Ballinger
and his connection with what is gener-
ally styled by the press the Alaska
Scandal
The Alaska scandal has, it has been
developed, coupled with the dismissal
BY President Taft of Clifford Pinchot,
Chief Forester, is the sensation at
Washington.
The intimations of iiscredit against
Ballinger, as it appears, have been
strengthened by revelations which sug-
gested an official inquiry, as was pro-
posed BY the friends of the adnllnistra-
ton in the Senate, would result in
whitewash of BaIlinger.
Unfortunately for BaIlinger, the
friends of Pinchot in the House of
Representatives, by combining with the
Democrats, have scored a decided and
remarkable success in relieving Speak
er Cannon of the appointment of the
committee of inquiry, and therefore, the
committee named by the House viii
pursue its investigation without fear or
favor and with the only purpose of
eliciting the facts, regardless of who
may be held to account.
AS reported from Washington, the
resolution as it goes TO the Senate pro-
vides for an investigation committee of
twelve, SIX to be appointed by the pres
ident of the Senate and six to be ap-
pointed by the House.
1t is time the people were being in
formed how the deal with the Cunning
ham combine was consummated. At
any rate, the people should know and
must be informed how some of the val
liable resources Of the country have
been dissipated, either for song, or
through pillage or theft.
If BaIlinger. is free Of discredit, he
should have insisted and even persisted
in the most rigid of an inquiry He
should not now assume an attitude of
evasion, and since he, nor his friends,
have presented single good reason in
opposition, the investigation must be
prosecuted as impartially and as thor
oughly as it can be in its full appIica-
ton of the administration of the land /
Office while Mr. Ballinger was commits
sioner and since he has been the Secre-
tary of the Interior
Instead of aIlaying the feeling
aroused over the controversy, the dis
missal of Mr. Pinchot from Office by
President Taft has intensified the re-
sentiment Of the friends of this official.
AS related from Washington, the an
tagonism IS threatening a breach in the
ranks of the Republicans, which, from
a Democratic view, is expressed the
hope that it may reach that degree of
which viii widen the
breach and make a reconciliation i'm
possible.
Whatever may be said of Pinchot's
in having given publicity to !,
some facts, on which, apparently, the
Taft administration is more or less
sensitive, he has demonstrated that he
IS a man who could not be swerved
from his plain duty by any promise of
reward obtained through the emolu-
nent sof Office.
1t is refreshing as well as encourage
ing to note that there are still men who
will do their duty to the people in the
face of the glittering temptation of of
fetal patronage.

School To Open.

The long, hot and sultry days
are on the wane. The boys and
girls, who are to be the men and
women of tomorrow have whlled
them away IN vacation which we
hope has been pleasant. You
have been to picnics and barbe-
cues given for your enjoyment;
you have fished down in the lazy
old creek and listened to the mu.
sic of the birds and insects as
they carolled their songs in the
rich green foliage of the trees;
you have lolled in the hammock,
read "King Lear 'and the mystic
tales of Fairyland; waded the
brooks, swung high on the old
grape swing. In fact, YOU had
time allotted unto you as
yours to spend, and If you are a
healthy boy or girl, your heart
was atune with nature and your
cheeks are now affush with roses
and you are ready for school.
Books and satchel are lost, but
mama will find them. You are
healthy, freckeled and tanned; !;
just what vacation is intended
for, but vacations must end and
girls and boys cannot remain so
always. but must prepare for the
sterner realities of life; hence,
with the same glad heart that
you welcomed June, welcome the
opeaing of school. Get books,
and on the 18th, greet teacher
and school-fellows, determined
to far outstrip your efforts of the
past.
Remember, all pupils for pri-
mary must enter during first ten
days, and can not enter thereaf-
ter. All parents are invited to
come with your children. This
is duty which you should per-
form; show them wherein centers
your interest, thus encouraging
them to do that for which you are
so anxious-dig deep into the
beauteous depths of knowledge
that they may live lives commen-
surate with the wonderful age
that is dawning upon US.
