feels to be essential to our wholesome
political life" Former President Theo-
dore Roosevelt at the Harvard Univer-
sity Commencement day luncheon in
Memorial hall today broke the silence
on political matters which he has
maintained since emerging from the
African wilderness. The colonel admit
ted that he had been persuaded by
Governor Hughes himself after very
brief conversation to put up his hands
and forego his intentions of political
inactivity" He stated further that in
connection with his effort to aid the
governor he had sent a message, as
emphatic as he could make it to New
York officials to uphold their governor
in his ideas.
! These politically important words
were spoken by the former President
this afternoon in his capacity as pre-
siding officer of the luncheon, when in
Producing as speaker, Governor
Hughes, who had earlier if the day
been honored by Harvard University
with the degree of Doctor of Laws. Mr..
Roosevelt said in part:

General Conditions.

General conditions show little
change. The severe winter is some
what Interfering with activity of
trade, checking business operations
and diminishing traffic in the interior.
The January statements of our large
railroad systems are likely to make a
rather Indifferent showing, for earn
ings have frequently suffered by these
Interruptions, while expenses were
materially increased by storms. The
iron trade is already feeling the eff
fects of severe weather, many mills
having shut down owing to lack of
raw material, while railroads and con-
tractors generally are deferring orders
until the resumption of construction
work becomes more feasible.
Our foreign commerce returns in
December were again unsatisfactory,
exports amounting to only $171 10000
and imports to $13S, 100000. There
was large increase in imports, &C
companied by further shrinkage in
exports, which left the excess of the
latter for the month at barely $685.
100000, compared with $77,000OOO in
1903 and nearly $115O00,00O for the
same month in 1907 These returns
are anything but satisfactory, and
show that abnormal conditions still
prevail in our foreign trade. High
prices are mainly responsible for these
conditions for it follows that with
American markets so much above
those of Europe that we must buy
more abroad and sell less than were
conditions otherwise. During the /:
months of 1909 our exports aggregat
ed 81, 727,000000, a loss of $4,000 ,00t
for the year, while our imports
amounted to s1,475.OOO,OOO, the big
gest on record and gain of 1853, 900,
600 in the twelve months. These fig
ures show surplus of exports o
$251 100000 in 1909, compared will

Special to The Nctcs.

Special to The NctUs
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 25.-The senate
finance committee and the house COM
mittee on appropriations will go ex-
ceedingly slow for the next few days
on appropriation bills, and it is stated
with authority that no important
measures will be permitted to pass
both houses through these committees
until all the necessary appropriation
bills have been gotten together and
compared with the probable income
of the state for the next two years.
Regardless of how much the men,
bers of the committee might desire
to see any or all of the appropriation
measures passed as offered, it has
already become obvious that a good
deal of trimming will be necessary
somewhere, as the appropriations al
ready asked for exceed the estimated
income and it is known that several
other measures are yet to be intro
duced.
The only way to avoid reduction
on some of the appropriations sought
would lie in the raising of the tax
| levy, and assurances from the highest
authority are that the levy will not
be tempered with.
The common school fund, pension
fund and the support funds for the
state colleges and elementary insti
tutions are among the largest for
which appropriations must be made

years ago. some of them going con
siderably higher, notably the pension
bill. which asks for an increase of {

SNEEZING,
It Must Have Been a Violent Operation
Before Jacobs Time.

Before Jacobs Time.
We frequently hear the expression
"God bless you" uttered after some
one has sneezed. The expression. IL
we can believe Clodd in his Child
hood of the World" dates back to the
time of Jacob. We are told in Jewish
literature that previous to his time
men sneeZed but once in Il lifetime
and that was the end of them. for the
shock slew them. Jacob prevailed in
prayer and had the fatality set aside
on the condition that among all the
nations sneeze should be hallowed
by the words God bless YOU" In the
"Jataka,' one of &c books of the
Buddhist Scriptures. we read that the
expression was, May the blessed Lord
allow you to live!"
Buddha on one occasion while
preaching TO his disciples happened to
sneeZe. The priests gave vent to the
exclamation. and BUddha lectured
them for inter:upting his discourse.
IF when a person sneezes," he ask
ed. "and you say. May he live will
he live the longer?"
Certainly not"' cried the priests.
"And if you do not say it will hs
die any the sooner?"
/ Certainly not" was the reply.
''Then." said Buddha. from this
time forth if any one sneeze and ;
priest says May you live he shall b.
guilty of a transgression." -LondoI

Since the old-fashio1cd theory Of

that these saves only clog the pores
and cannot penetrate to the inner
