About three or more years ago
Jeff Davis, then Governor of Ark
ansas. came to Mississippi in
the interest of the candidacy of
this state. The frey Yankee
eater and agitator said in a
speech at HaZlehurst that when
me and Jim VardamaD get to the
Senate h-ll will be raised" Davis
has been there about three years,
and one blast from his lungs was
enough not to silence the Senate,
but to make him "voiceless as a
fish," The same would be true
Of the Seniors Mississippi friend
were he to get to the Senate : a
possibility too remote to consider.
Mississippi prefers not to send
Statesmen to the Senate, those
who will retain their voices, and
become as fish "voiceless. VA

The Macon Beacon call atten-
ton to the good report coming
from two links of the public road
in that county as a result of the
road drag by the overseers in
charge. Immediately after a
rain these wot enterprising over
seers get their drags at work and
the result is such that the condi-
ton of these two roads is a sub
ject of favorable comment from
all sections of the country.
Lowndes is making rapid strikes
in the matter Of improving her
public roads. The country has
adopted the contract system and
is giving the same a fair trial,
Not only this but the character
of the culverts and bridges is to
be improved. Where wooden
bridges and culverts have deem
used, concrete and iron bridges
are being substituted, which will
cost more original but which will
save largely to the tax payers in
the end. Now let the board give
the road drag in connection with
this work a thorough trial in this
country and we venture the opin-
ion that it will never be discarded.
Lowndes must lead all other

modern progress and develop

the manufacturers OF cotton. wool and

The senator said he would endeavor
TO have his resolution passed. today.
Senator EllSins (Rep.. w. Va), has
introduced a resolution calling fer an
investigation of high prices by q SEN
ate committee. The resolution was
referred TO the senate committee on
contingent expenditures, which will
consider the cost Of such an investiga-
tion before reporting the resolution
back to the senate.
Two calls for investigation have
been made by members OF the house.

When We Fellows Said do Itp

Think Of that, One In every 80 was
dangerous as food. We know now
that we did good job in sending out
those inspectors. The meat trust
may have made us pay their losses.
but they didn't make us eat rotten
meat. We wih stop them from over
charging us when we get mad enough.
Roosevelt had some pretty good
ideas regarding inspection and control
Of predatory trusts. He got some Of
these ideas from the Jungle" affair.
The gentleman he told us silly geese
to elect as his successor also has ideas
about control and inspection Of
trusts. His latest one was TO have a
system for inspection and control OF
those trusts that are willing to be IN
spected or controlled. II must be vol
untary from them. he says.
Lucky that Taft wasn't presiden:
four years ago. isn't 1t? III he had been
and had practiced the plan he now
suggests, we would have eaten TO
date some 100000, 900 pounds of Lad
meat, at the rate OF 25,0O0, 900 pounds
per year.
What do you think of that "volun-
tary" trust curb? Doesn't it make you
sort of tired?
The Detroit times., 1910-01-10

DO you remember the grisly old
Jungle" days when we gagged at The
very thought of meat? Young Upton
Sinclair went TO Chicago, saw rotten
meat being embalmed for our inno-
cent palates. and had the courage TO
tell us about ii.
We all howled. and we said to our
government at Washington: DO
something to stop the outrage, and do
II quick,"
So the government arranged a sys-
tenn OF meat inspection by govern
ment agents.
The great meat trust screamed "in-
Justice talked about government
interference" and all that sort OF
thing. But we fellows had said "do
II " and the packers scream was soon
smothered into mere gurgle.
The meat insre ction bureau of the
department of agriculture has jlL'c
given out report showing that In a
year those inspectors We sent to the
packing houses have condemned 25,-
100000 pounds of bad meat They
looked over 35.672.075 slaughtered ami
mails, and found over million of these
unfit for food.
