tens of thousands of tons, warehoused and put up as collateral on loans for large amounts. In the domestic field heavy consumers are able to buy all they want under the rose at 1fA to II 1a cents a pound or about one cent under the publicly quoted price, Mean time, the market price of copper shares is being held up on stilts by artificial means. For some unknown reason the banks here and throughout Eng land are making it easy for certain large interest to borrow money on that class of securities.
 A sinister suspicion exists in the Street that an important combination is being loaded down with easy money as a preliminary to discipline" n treatment sometimes accorded to indi- viduals or syndicates who get too chesty for the peace and comfort of the ruling powers. This particular party will cut an importannt figure in the billion dollar copper merger when it is organized later on (after the supreme court hands down decis- sions in sthe Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases). The talk is that the com bination is already trying to dictate the terms upon which it's great hold ings of copper producing and smelting are to go into the amalga- nation, and that it has become neces- sary to subject them to trimming in order to bring them within the bounds of reason. There are elements of plausibility to the story.
 It Is estimated that the banks of New York and New England hold billion dollars worth of copper stocks as col lateral on loans. twot cent cut in the price of copper metal might pre- cipitate the general demand for the re- navment of a considerable percentage of the money thus borrowed which would inevitably be followed by smash in the stock market. The effect on the general market might only be temporary but while it lasted 1t might hurt
 The possibility of such disaster Is one of the things that is hanging over the stock market at this moment. It is insulting into the stronger elements in the banking world feature of caution and conservatism. The great syndicates are getting themselves strong in cash and into position where they can take care of themselves in case ot of the get-rich-quick concerns that squalls.

 MT. Bryan opened with a brief discus sion of the important part Tennessee has played in the nations history He dis cussed the responsibility of the represen- tatives of the people. He presented the two theories of government, aristocratio and democratic. He said in the democrat is sentiment which the dominant of thls country and was greater than party. He discussed at soma length these two ideas of government. He said that one party was always found trying to do what the people wanted. while the other was ob structing the general good. These two sentiments, he said, were found in so- ciety as we'll as politics. The arlstocrat believed in building from the top and the democrat from the bottom. He said the democratic plan of government was spreading throughout the world

 In the house of representatives this morning a bill was introduced defining and regulating soft drink stands.
 The bill provides that soft drink stands shall hold a merchants privilege license or special state soft drink privilege li- cense. Screens are required to be re- moved and all drinking must be done in the open room. No drink shall contain more than one-half of per cent of al- cohol. The penalty Is $25. to $1O0 or for feture of license. or both. In both houses bills were introduced creating board to license barbers. Gov ernor Hooper sent to the senate this morning a special message vetoing the |. plumbers bill. The provision of the bill providing for an examining board he de- scribed as unnecessary, unwise, unjust and dangerous" The governor in the message discussed some of the situations which might arise under the bill, express ing the opinion that law containing such possibilities was vicious and un-American. He thought that part of the measure pro- viding for the proper installation and rigid inspection of plumbing very meri- torious.

Renutahle concerns that snec-

lines. Reputable concerns that spec ialize in the Notation and sale of meri- torious mining stocks will in the end be benefited by the wiping out of the irresponsible crowd of sharpers here, in Boston and out at the mines. It Is quite possible that next spring and summer will witness a sensational boom in the stocks of the porcupine dis trict north of the Cobalt camp and that a number of bonanza mines will be uncovered,
 This can hardly help but be accom- panied by the manufacture and sale of another big mass of worthless stuff against which the general public must be on guard. A number of these pure Fly speculative enterprises are already being advertised Some of them have merit, but the chances are a hundred to one that everybody who invests money in gliteringly advertised porcu- pine stocks will get stung.

MISSISSIPPI HOLDS
 ASTOCK SALE Sell Registered Cattle and
 Hogs at Auction TO BENEFIT FARMERS Commissioner Blakeslee Attends Meeting at Hattiesburg Where Experts Discuss Boil Weevil
 determination
TO BENEFIT FARMERS

Jackson. Miss, February 1S.-(Spe- cial.)-For the first time in the history Of Mississippi the citizens thereof are to experience what is common in the north and west-an auction sale of thoroughbred, registered cattle and hogs. on the 10th of March. The La Vernet stock farm, near this city. and owned by W. J. Davis and son, state that on this date they will offer all their surplus cattle and hogs for sale at auction to the highest bidder. They deal only in Holsteins and Poland Chinas and keep only those of the very finest pedigree. having taken all of the premiums at the state fair on cattle and many on hogs during the past few years.
 The proprietors of the LaVernet farm do not need the money, and they are not advertising to sell cattle or hogs at auction. but they are determined that the farmers of Mississippi shall have the best breeding stock that is on the market, and have arranged for an auction sale of all surplus so that the farmers may get into the business as
 
 and their neighbors world of good from a financial point of view.
 It is noticed that Taylor Bros. have given notice through the Times Dem ocrat that they have an auction sale of 50 registered Poland China hogs at Hattiesburg on the goth of this month. That will be the first auction sale of hogs, perhaps, but Davis & Son claim the first of such saies for registered beef cattle that ever took place in the state of Mississippi.
 Commissioner of Agriculture Blakes- lee has returned from Hattiesburg, where he attended the meeting of spe- cial agents of the department of agri- culture and had the pleasure of hear ing the addresses of several of the gov ernment experts on boil weevil exter- imitation, peanut culture, good roads, etc., and where he talked to the peo- pie on similar subjects. paying spe- cial attention to Farmers union mat oughly convinced that such meetings ters and warehouse operations in par ticular. MT. Blakeslee Is very thor accomplish great teal of good, and while the attendance of famers at Hat tiesburg was fair, Is wondering why many more were not present. In view of the fact that the United States government is spending so much money and ta4Alng such positive interest in these matters it seems strange that the beneficiaries take so little interest. The attendance was good. but not what 1t should have been.

MOSES THE FATHER OF DEMO,
 CRkCY

Rev. Newell Dwight Hills of Ply. mouth church, Brooklyn, believes that Moses was more than a spiritual leader of a race. lie insists that he is entitled to rank with the worlds constructive statesmen. He sees the Hebrew prophet and leader as the architect of the great Hebrew com fnonweaith, which was the mother of democratic government
 iE all ages, he declares, there has been but two conceptions of govern ment, the Roman and the Hebrew, enc holding that all the good things of life are for the patrician few, to he administered by them for the many, the other conception democrat ic, holding that all the good things of life should he diffased among the people and administered for the bene- fit of the many by their chosen ser wants.
 Moses was an emancip1lOr, pro phet, statesman and teacher. He is described as man with a spiritual optic nerve, delicately sensitized to the Supreme will. He was a man Ot vision. A man of lifting power, or 'wing power" He was a man Of i'm agination and in tune with tho infin. ite and his fel!owman. Moses was the original father of democracy.

Her eyes burned dark beneath brows lined by a delicate and inky pencil, her teeth were sunk against her scarlet lips. Afterward Bayard remarked that if she had sud denly hurled sheaf of thunderbolts at him he should not have been in the least amazed What she did do was to move swiftly forward, SO that only the counter separated her from the irate customer, and her rich voice was vibrant.

 About sixty per cent of the citi- zens of Pinal county were disfran- chised Tuesday by the enabling act associates. The democrats should have had 1000 votes in this county Instead of the $50 who were per mitted to vote. But the fact that 2S9 of this $50 voted for us, and only 61 for our opponent, compen- sates us for our defeat in the other counties. If, after 30 years resi- dence in a community one can re- ceive such an endorsement from his neighbors, he should feel that life Is worth living and that his years of battling tor the advancement of the common welfare of those neigh bors has not been without apprecia- ton.
