Little Credit Duo Tariff Law.

The recent statement concerning
the beauties of the new tariff law
lately given out at Washington. does
not seem greatly to have impressed
the country. The papers were quick
to see that, after ~deducting the $28,
600, 900 derived from the corporation
tax, the $12, 000, 900 resulting from i'm.
proved business methods in the Gus
tom houses, and making allowance for
the imports rushed in in advance Of
the abrogation Of the reciprocity
treaties, we should have had a consid.
cradle deficit. The purpose. evidently
was to make the people believe that
1t was the tariff that was working so
we'll. There has been an increase in
revenue derived from customs, 1t 10
true, but it is not considerable, and Of
late has been shrinking. The Journal
of Commerce says that 'such a shut
fling statement as vas put out in the
absence of the secretary Of the treas
ury, and it Is to be hoped without his
knowledge, is a discredit to the ad-
m~inistration." 1t Is not meant to
serve as an official statement, but as q
campaign document.

TAX L
Attorney-General Fox Delivers Opin
ion of Wide Moment.

Under a ruling of the attorney-gen
erals department, through Assistant
AttOrney-General Carl Fox, in an opin
ion rendered to Land Commissioner
Gillespie, there appears to be quite
a muddle surrounding the sale of GER
tain lands to the state of Mississippi
for taxes back in 1872.
The specific sale which forms the
basis of the opinion was made in
Smith county, and it appears from the
records that the then sheriff, in ne
gOtiating the sales, included in the
amounts 10 per centum damages. AS.
sistant Attorney-General Fox, in an
opinion sent the land commissioner,
holds that it appearing from the rec,
ords that if the sheriff included dam.
ages at that time, he had no such au
thOrity. Decisions of the supreme
court have held that such action OF
itself was sufficient to invalidate the
sales so made. The law has beer
changed since, but the sale was made
under the old statute. and conse
quently the state has no title and the
realty must revert back to the origina..
owners or their heirs or assigns.

IN CONGRESS At RoME
international Gathering Of Foes Of Tu-
berculosis to he Held Late In
September.

Omcial announcement of the Seventh
International Congress on Tuberculo-
sis, which will include representatives
from every civilized country In the
world. has been made by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis. The
VIII be held In Rome from September
"a to 30. 1911. and will be similar IN
many respects to that held In Wash
ington In the fall of 1908. The con.
gress, which meets every three years.
Will be under the direct patronage of
the king and queen of Italy.
An American committee of 100 viii
be appointed as the official represen-
tatives of the United States. Mean
while the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
ls acting In that capacity and its Office
In New York will be the Headquarters
for the United States delegation. The
secretary general Of the congress Is
Prof. Vittorio Ascoli Of Rome.
AS a direct result of the stimulus OF
the last international congress held In
this country, the American committee
will be able to report that the number
OF tuberculosis agencies in this coun-
try nave been tripled in the three
years. More than twice as much
money Is being spent In the fight
against tuberculosis by private socie-
ties n institutions. and the appropri-
OF federal, state, municipal and
county have increased nearly four
fold. 1t is estimated that nearly $751;
O00, 900 will be spent in anti-tuberculo-
Sis work In 1910.

THE HOOKWORM
Is AIarmingIy Prevalent Among tho
Children of This State.

That the hookworm is alarmingly
prevalent in Mississippi, and the PEG
pie affected seem to be in ignorance OF
its existence, and some of them are
unwilling to take the very simple
treatment necessary to a cure, is the
testimony of the field agents of the
state board Of health who have been
making Investigations during the past
two weeks.
DR.. r. N. Whitfield, field agent of
the board, who has been at work in
some Of the piney woods counties,
makes this statement on the subject:
"Since beginning my work as dis
trict sanitary inspector for the state
board of health. I have been aston.
fshed at the amount Of hookworm dis.
ease prevalent in my district. 1 have
been in Simpson and Rankin counties
only thus far, and l have had oppor.
tunity to make only a few examina.
tons, but / have found so many af-
fected among those that l have exam.
ined that l am forced to the conclu-
sion that fully 80 per cent. of the PEG.
pie, especially the children, have hook
worm disease.

More Soothing Slrup.

Further revision of the tariff Is to
be recommended by President Taft,
according to an unofficial statement
sent out from Washington. He is
quoted as demanding that "exortion-
ate and unreasonable profits" by pro-
ducers no longer shall be tolerated.
This evidently is another dose of
the presidents famous soothing strip.
It is especially significant that It Is
administered just as Mr.. Roosevelt
was about to circulate through insur.
gent strongholds.
Memory of the presidents abject
surrender to the Aldrich-C Cannon
clique, however, is still fresh in the
minds OF the voters. With due defer
ence to his belated concession to an
aroused public sentiment, they will in
sist on electing a congress that can
be depended On to enact that senti-
ment into law.

WASTE OF PEOPLES MONEY
ernment Shown Here by Com
parison.

National expenditures for the ensu
ing year made and authorized by con
gress amounted to 1 .09S. 847.1S4-con
siderably more than a thousand mil
lions! Let uS see what that fac'
means.
/. It leans that we are spending
every year nearly one per cent. of oul
entire national wealth-$120,00 O. 900.
600; or nearly one-half Of the national
wealth of Switzerland-$2 ,400, 0O0. 900;
Or Of Portugal-$2. 500. 000. 1000; or
more than one-ifth of the national
wealth Of the thrifty Netherlands
So 900, OO0, 900.
2. It meal that we are spending
every year more than the entire as
sessed valuation, real and personal, of
most OF the states In the union, in
only IA Of which is there property In
excess Of a thousand millions.
3. 1t means that we are spending
every year almost as much money as
all the farms, city lots and buildings
in so great and rich a state as Indi-
ana are worth for taxation-$1,11O,-
391,6
4. 1t means that we are spending
in one year one-third of the entire
output of all Jul gold mines in 120
years, $3,O63, 1877, 900!
5. 1t means that we spend every
year more than the entire capital of
all the national banks in the United
States-~$919, 143, S25-and nearly one
third OF all our savings bank deposits
-$3.713.405,7 O9.
8. 1t means that we spend in n
year one-third of the value of our for
eign commerce-3,055,115,13 8.
7. 1t means that we spend each year
u entire corn crop-2,6 88, 6b1 900
bushels, and that our wheat crop for
a single year-664. 6O2, 900 bushels
would be sufficient to run the govern
ment only six months.
8. It means that, excluding Sundays
and holidays, there is spent at Wash
ington every day In the year the enor-
nous sum of $3,567,6s5.66!
8. It means that for every man.
woman and child in the country we
spend each year $11.
10. 1t means that for every family
in the United States the yearly ex-
penditure at Washington Is $50.
If the waste at Washington 10 $780,
000, 900 a year, as Senator Aldr1ch has
every American family sui
fers by this prolifgacy to the extent
Of $16.66 every twelvemonth.
This Is enough to buy a suit of
clothehs. 1t will buy an overcoat or
a cloak. 1t will buy a good dress. 1t
will furnish a room. 1t will buy nea
ly three tons OF anthracite coal. 1t
will buy four or five pairs Of shoes. 1t
will buy two or three barrels Of -four
or over three hundred loaves of short
bread.
The cost of n battleship-$12,0 00,-
900 to SIS, 600, 900. needless and an in

lish and support a dozen fine hospitals

BACK TO THE o
Prof. Smith Finds Sentiment Strong
for Return to the Farm.

Back to the soil" is the slogan IN
Mississippi, and the call of "old Beck
and the pillow" is strong in this state
appealing especially to the business
and professional men who have made
a success of life in the city, according
to Prof. w. H. Smith, supervisor of
rural schools in Mississippi.
MI. Smith has just returned from a
tour of the state, and says he finds
sentiment strongly in favor of return
ing to the soil. He believes that when
the state Is in position to give the
people good rural schools, combined
with the telephone, electric cars and
other c~Onveniences, the tide OF bank
to the soil will be strong in this
state.

five and one-half acres of land.
What we need in Mississippi is a
system of good rural schools and it is
coming; make farm life attractive to
the youth and educate him 81 he can
make something out of farming; make
the life offer a future to him, and We
will have one of the richest states in
the Union.
