or comparison of the treatment of these
men in different walks of life is an OLD
story, and might better be left unmen-
toned. But it is too serious a matter
to be ignored. If we have one law for
the rich, influential thief and another
for the poor, uninhuential thief, how
can we expect to hold the republic to-
gether, since justice is the keystone of
national stability?
The history of fallen republics shows
that a loose judicial administration has
invariably been at the bottom of their
downfall. The Mercury will show in a
few days that for many offenses, In
this state for example, it is impossible
to punish such corporation as the
Southern Pacific Railway company.
The laws We're made by its own hired
attorneys, just as the attorneys of the
Standard Oil company have had laws
made to its order in other states.
How long this will continue depends
entirely upon the patience of the people,
Certainly the awakening of the past
few years should bring about a refor-s
nation, and perhaps, in spite of what
we see and hear, we are gradually irn-
proving. although it cannot be said
that the peculations of men in high po-
sitions are decreasing. The only rem
edy seems to lie in a persistent protest
on the part of the people, and in the
of our criminal laws. This

CAPITAL AND LABOR

ARRIS WEINSTOCK'S address to
III the City club on the subject of
- zone Way to Prevent Strikes and
Lockouts'' will attract great attention.
Mr.. Weinstoek has devoted much of his
time to the study of governmental and
social problems, and his plan for the
production of amicable conditions in
industrialism and complete harmony
of the relations of labor and capital is
and capital, made compulsory, but by
public sentiment.
Mr.. Weinstock says government own
ership does not solve the problem of
producing contentment, for he has
found government employees in many
countries are dissatisfied. Equally fu-
tile was the attempt to make strikes un-
lawful, which was one of the Australian
experiments.
Mr.. Weinstock suggests the forma-
tion in Los Angeles of board COM
posed of twenty representatives of en-
ployers and of labor who could arrange
the selection OF two panels of twelve
members each, one of employers and
one of employed. Labor disputes should
be submitted for inquiry and settlement
to such an equal number taken from
these panels as might be agreed upon
by the parties in interest.
If Los Angeles should be the first
city to solve permanently and satisfac-
torily the problem of the harmonious
relations Of capital and labor It would
have added another to its remarkable
list of great achievements beneficial to
the nation and to civilization

STATE FAIR PLANS ON.
Mammoth Exhibit of Mississippi Pro-
ducts to Be Shown.

It begins to look like business over
at the old capital grounds, where prep
arations are on foot for the annual
state fair. Heaped up in splendid
masses, near the main entrance, are
boulders which were quarried from
the Mississippi quarries in Tishomin-
go county. The arrival of this ex-
hibit of native stone created a sensa-
ton as the long procession OF floats
drew the loads up State street and
finally deposited them in the capitol
grounds in one monster pile. Just
10000 pounds is the weight of this
heap of blocks; and no exhibit at the
fair will be finer proof of Mississippi's
undeyeloped possibilities than this
mass of stone which was brought di-
rect from thine quarries of the North
Mississippi Traction Company's prop
erty. Hidden away there by the pro-
tecting bosom of Mother Earth are
untold riches, and not the least OF
these, as will be demonstrated speed
lily, are the unlimited stretches of this
fine grade of stone.
Eight hundred acres owned by this
company have vast deposits OF the
very finest quality of stone, which
many authorities have pronounced to
be even superior for building purposes
to that of which the magnificent new
capitol was built.
If the state fair should do nothing
more than bring Mississippi people to
q realization of the splendid possible
ties of their own great state, by ex-
hibits such as this, it will easily have
indicated the faith of it's directors
who are working so hard and so 10y
ally to prove to the people of Missis-
sippi that their native state is worthy
to take the lead in great enterprises.

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


for Return to the Farm.
Back to the soil" is the slogan in
Mississippi, and the call of "old Beck
and the plow' is strong in this state,
appealing especially to the business
and professional men who have made
q success of life in the city, according
to Prof. w. H. Smith, supervisor OF
rural schools in Mississippi.
Mr.. 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 conveniences, the tide OF bank
to the soil' will be strong in this
state.
Il find many Of the leading busl-
ness and professional men OF the state
men reared on the farm-hear the
call of back to the plow,' and it Is
hard for them to resist. Some of them
can not resist it entirely, especially
one man l know in Northern Missis-
sippi, who is conducting a farm on
five and one-half acres of land.
what we need in Mississippi is a
system of good rural schools and 1t is
coming; make farm life attractive to
the youth and educate him so he a
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.
1--WE can give u farmers electric
cars, good roads, telephones and good
schools. When we do that we VIII
have taken a long step forward. We
might also add waterworks, as IL
would not be expensive, and would
improve the health of the state"

tie From One County to Another.
The Peabody and Gayoso hotels Of
Memphis have run up against a snag
around which they will have to navi-
gate carefully. These hotels maintain
a great dairy farm near Horn Lake,
DeSoto county, near the Tennessee
line. Here they have built magnii-
cent quarters for the cows, which are
to supply their guests with milk and
butter. The buildings are of concrete
the stables, silos, milk rooms, etc.,
being built with a view to perma-
n and it is the intention of the
management to enlarge and expand
the business till it brings in milk
during the year about 500 COWS of
high grade.
Some time since this DeSoto county
enterprise purchased a herd of cattle
near Grace, %Issaquena county, and on
attempting to move them discovered
that quarantine lines must be crossed
and that they were up against Uncle
Sam" as well as the state of Missis-
sippi. Being in a quandary as to what
to do, an appeal was made to Com
missioner of Agriculture Blakeslee at
Jackson, and that gentleman has just
advised the hotels at interest that the
cattle cannot be moved from Issa-
quena to DeSoto-the cattle tick fight
having been waged there for two
years, and their pastures being free of
the pests and ~quarantined against all
counties that have not made the fight
against the tick.

ion of Wide Moment.
Under a ruling of the attorney-gen-
erals department, through Assistant
Acknowledgement 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
g~otiating the sales, included in the
amounts 10 per centum damages. As
sistant Acknowledgement 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 been
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 original
owners or their heirs or assigns.
