Of three questions, What is Com
merce?" What is restraint" Of trade
Of commerce and what is it to mon
opolixsT"
What Is commeree7
Around what is commerce." the
principal fight in the Tobacco case
probably is to be found. The COM
merce which the government claims Is
being restrained and monopolized, is
not commerce, according to the To-
bacco attorneys. 1t is nothing more
than the manufacture of an article
which later enters into commerce The
bulwarlx behind which the Tobacco or
ganixation making its fight along this
line Is the famous Knight decision,
made even more famous by the refer
ence to it by former President Roose-
welt last fall in criticising the decis-
ions of the supreme court. In that
case the court declined to suppress
an alleged monopoly in the manufac-
ture Of sugar, on the ground that 1t
had authority to proceed only by way
| OF preventing monopolies in commerce.
The tobacco corporations claim that
they are concerned only incidentally In
INpAl1AAFGA1Cs
| Again the dispute as to what is In
cluded in the word commerce" as
referred to In the Sherman antitrust
law, arises in connection with the
character of a holding company. Both
| the STANDARD Oil and the Tobacco or
CARNATIONS contend that the power
granted by the constitution to regulate
i interstate commerce is not so extern
sive as to include regulation of the
i acquisition and ownership of a hold
/ ing company OF stock in other cor
Iporations. The government argues
that whenever holding company
necessarily stiles or directly and sub.
stantially restricts free competition III
commerce, the United States has
power to protect such commerce

Dakota has not had the opportunity to
see her brother AT the meeting OF
the long separated brother and sister.
Mrs. Joseph was unable to recognize
the brother.
Mrs. Brown is the sister OF both Mrs.
Joseph and Mr.. Parker and during the
New Years holidays they are having
. family reunion at the home Of the

The Tax Cases.

that success as achieved by unfair
competition
The Tax Cases.
The corporation tax cases, eighteen
in all, involve entirely different argu-
ments. The corporation tax provisions
OF ths Payne-Aldrich tariff act pro-
vide for "a special excise tax with re-
spect to the carrying on or doing bus
ness by corporations, equivalent to
one per centum upon the entire net
income above $1,000
Zach OF the cases was originated
in various circuit courts by persons
financially interested in the tax mot
being paid. These persons asked the
courts TO enjoln the payment of the
tax by respective corporations be-
cause the tax was unconstitutional
The validity of the tax was upheld in
each case.
Tho law Is opposed principally on
the grounds that 1t attacks the soy
ereignty OF the states by taxing state
franchises; that 1t invades the right
to due process of law by levying q
tax on classes flxed arbitrarily; and
that 1t Is a direct tax not apportioned
among the states as required by the
constitution.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began In pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come of when / removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. l think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"
(Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson,
Mont, Jan. %, 1911. Although Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a
sample Of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to

WANT ENGLE TO R
Interesting Complication Develops at
Natchez.


Jackson.-The extra session of the leg
i~slature by Gov. Noel has brought forth
several very interesting complications in
connection with vacant seats in that
body.
Down in Adams county a very in
sistent constituency is demanding that
Hon. Charles F. Engle withdraw his
resignation, rendered to Gov. Noel at the
close of the 1910 session, and Mr.. Engle
is equally insistent that, having re,
signed, he intends to stay resigned, and
will have nothing whatever to do with
Mississippi's lawmaking body.
Gov. Noel holds that Mr.. Engle is still
eligible to his seat in the senate because
the resignation was not accepted. Mr.,
Engle says that he don't care whether
it was accepted or not, that he intends
to stay in Natchez during the extra SEES
sion, aud nothing short of a sergeant
alarms sent with authority to place
him under arrest car compel him to CONT
to Jackson. .

MUST RAISE MORE STOCK
Packing Plant Forced to Buy Cattle and
Hogs Outside State.

Jacksonville news hat the Natehez
packing plant was being forced to go to
st. Louis and other markets for live
stock and to Kentucky and Tennessee
for hogs, has had the effect of stirring up
the hog raisers and students of the sit
u%ation, and it is gathered from their
communications and statements that
this condition will not obtain after this
year, and would not now be the fact
but for the reason that so many farmers
are interested in raising hogs, they will
not deplete their supply of brood stock
at present, and do not propose to sell i'm
til their droves become larger, and that
is the chief reason that the state shows
a scarcity of hogs for the market lat
present. This is very likely the case,
and by next fall there will be hundreds
of thousands of hogs, and of good va
%rieties, in the state.
The Illinois Central and Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroads will have
contributed 26 blooded boars, as they
will give to the winner of the Boys
Corn Club contest in each county a reg
istered boar from any breeder in the
United States the contest winner desires
to get his hog from, and this will be a
considerable impetus to the breeding OF
better hogs, to say nothing of the hun
dreds of farmers who are buying breed
ing stock.

NOEL MAKES PROCLAMATION
GOVERNOR CALLS ATTENTION TO
PUBLIC HEALTH DAY.
November II Set Aside For Educational
Institutions to Observe 1t and Spread
Information on That Date.

Jackson,-At the suggestion of the
Interstate School Improvement League,
], Edmund f. Noel, governor Of the State
of Mississippi, call upon all schools, col
leges and other educational institutions,
and public institutions of every kind,
and the public generally, to join in the
observance Of Friday, the 18th day of
November, 1911, as a special public
health day, devoting a part of that day
to improvement of sanitary conditions
of buildings and surroundings, and at
least one hour to a program devoted to
consideration of matters pertaining to
improved public health conditions.
During the present generation, i'm
mense progress has been made, not only
in surgery, largely through improved
knowledge and aseptic treatment of
wounds, but also through a more per-
feet understanding of the causes, RENE
dies and methods of prevention of the
various preventable diseases which have
done so much in the past to bring ex-
peAse, suffering and death to mankind.
Yellow fever, smallpox and other
plaques, by skillful preventive measures,
are met and routed in communities adopt
ing and enforcing proper hygienic regu-
%lations. Typhoid fever, diphtheria and
most other maladies are preventable
when proper care and skill are eXer-
cised.
The State and Federal government,
aided by public spirited and %philnnthrop.
ic individuals and organizations, are do.
ing more and better work in Mississippi
now, and have been for several years
past, than ever before in its history. I'm
proved health conditions means longer
life, happier life, buster life, less suffer
ing, more fruitful labor and greater and
more prolonged happiness and prosper
ity to the individual and to the state
Every good citizen should contribute tC
the onward march of the public health
movement by studying, encouraging 9th
ers to study, observing and enforcing
those rules and practices that prevent
and remedy evil conditions which result
in human misery and death, from pre-
ventable causes. Wherever such worl
has been done wisely, thoroughly anc
persistently public health has improved
the working capacity has advanced, suf
fering has been diminished and the ave-
age of human life has been extended
both in cities and in the country.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto subscribed my name and caused tn
great seal of the State of Mississippi t.
be affixed at Jackson, this the 23rd da,
of October, A. D. 1911.
