OF TREATIES
President Taft Pleads for Arbi-
tration by Nations
BEFORE BAR ASSOCIATION
Improvement in Federal Court Pro.
cedure Discussed-Advocates
Higher Salaries for Judges.

BOSTON, September 1.-"Arbitration
of disputes between nations Is coming
| slowly, but surely coming" said Presi-
dent Taft in his address yesterday aft
| ernoon before the American Bar As
| sociation, which concluded its thirty
| fourth annual convention in this city
viewed the proposed general arbitra-
| tion treaties with Great Britain and
France. and made it plain that in his
opinion the objections made to the
treaties were invalid.
President Taft declared emphatically
| that there is room for improvement in
procedure in the federal courts, land
upon u.s. he said. falls the burden of
initiating reform in that respect" The
Chief Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court. he said, has taken that
matter in hand with his associates and
conference in Washington. where they
will formulate new rules Of procedure.
Higher Salaries Urged.
The President declared this to be
great step in the direction of practical
reform. He said that there was need
for increasing judicial salaries so that
1.-The best men of the bar might be
secured for the various courts.
The President motored in from Beverly,
and when he appeared in the convention
hall he was welcomed with a hearty
cheer. No formal Introduction was
spoken President Edward H Farrar OF
the Bar Association, one OF the largest
men at the convention, merely expressed
his purpose to retire in favor of a man
who was bigger than he in all dimen-
sions.
Referring to his hope that the Senate
would not modify the treaties, the Presi-
dent compared the nation to a sick In
dian.
You know they say the Indians when
they are sick don't like any medicine
except something that bites, something
that is bad to take said the President
Il don't think that We shall really get
ahead with this arbitration business un-
tion to execute Judgment that may bite
are going to take the position that we
will wait until the question arises, and
then conclude-because We don't thin.l
we can win in the arbitration case-that
1t is not justifable question. then we
have written our promises In water and
we have made agreements that dissolve
under the test of experience. The result
will follow, which may be anticipated,
that instead Of promoting the cause OF
arbitration we have interefered with 1t,
obstructed it and made 1t a laughing
stock with all nations"

Reform in Rules of Procedure.

Before turning to arbitration the Presi-
dent spoke OF the efforts the Supreme
Court is making to reform the rules Of
equity procedure in the federal courts,
and in discussing this matter declared
that the salaries Of federal judges should
be increased. He also devoted a few
sentences to a discussion Of the intricate
question Of patent law, and offered q
heartfelt prayer Of thanks to the first
interpreters of the Constitution.
Speaking of the salaries Of the federal
judges, the President said that those Of
circuit judges should be increased so as
to be more commensurate with those
paid district judges.
"Of course" he said, "the salaries of
the Supreme Court members ought to be
increased. We have gotten them up to
$12,5OO. or something like that. They
ought to go up to $4,000. A court which
exercises such great responsibility and
calls for such ability and learning ought
to have its members amply paid, SO that
they need not be dependent on lecturing
in law schools and doing other things for
the purpose of eking out a salary that
only enables them to live"

Court Of Patent Appeal.

Speaking of patent Law, and patent
cases, the President said that he hoped
the new Court of Commerce will be used
as court of patent appeal" The Su-
preme Court in such cases, he found, has
proved a failure.
At the conclusion Of his argument in
patent matters the President spoke of
reforms and his hearers. who previ-
Gus to his entrance had debated a reso-
luton upon the recall Of the judiciary,
leaned forward eagerly.
The expected denunciation did not come,
but instead there was an evidently whole
hearted appreciation Of the early mem
bers of the Supreme Court.
"And now, gentlemen" he said, there
is another thought that this meeting sug-

tions frequently asked.
Briefly we answer:
1t will be place where all the people
of all the counties in the state may come
together and learn from observation
what brains, time, perseverance and
money have achieved in every line Of
Industry.
1t will be mirror of Mississippi's in
dustries, achievements and possibilities
and thus the states greatest advertising
agency.
1t will be the greatest Fair as yet ever
held within the borders of the state ir
point of attendance, size and intrinsic
value.
1t will be short course in agriculture
stock raising, manufacturing, bee eul-
ture, domestic science, and all worth.
while industries taught by that best o.
all teachers, observation.
1t will be sort of a big picnic fol
every one who can go and be entertained
with wholesome fun making wher
wearied with the heavier tasks of study
and investigation.
And it will be available at the time o.
the year when the busiest farmer may
take few days off and attend with his
! loved ones, and together enjoy the ex.
hibits and the incidental fun.

County Election Commissioners OF State WIZ
Meet October 18th and 10Th.

The county election commissioners OF
the seventy Eight counties in Mississippi
will meet on Oct. 10th and 10th for the
purpose of preparing the official ballot
for the regular election in November,
and appointing judges and clerks to
hold the event.
Except in a few instances, the work
of the commissioners will be purely
formal. In Kinds county, however,
there is a contest over the nomination
for floater representative for Kinds and
Yazoo between Messrs. w. E. Mallet
and E. j. Ellzey, the latter being the
regular Democratic nominee and so de-
clared by fhe flotorial committee, while
Mr.. Mallet is endeavoring to get his
name on the ticket by petition.
The Socialist ticket for state ofncers
will go on the official ballot. Under
the laws of Mississippi there will be no
distinguishing markets for the two
tickets, Democratic nominees and So
cialist nominees being placed IN the
same column.

PROHIBITION STATUTES MAY CAUSE DELAY.
Chicago Alcohol Manufacturers Advised By
General Mcdowell a. TO Law, and to
Await Next Meeting of Legislature.

The intention of the Standard Alco-
hol Company of Chicago to establish in
the State ofMississippi a plant for manu-
featuring ethyl alcohol was somewhat
checked yesterday by an opinion OF AS
sistant Attorney General Mcdowell,
which was rendered at the request OF
the promoters of the enterprise.
Regardless of what other use the pro-
posed concern intended in the manufac-
ture and disposition of the product, ii
was pointed out that the same could be.
if desired, used as beverage, aud that
this might conflict with the State pro-
hibition law on the subject.
The company was advised to await
the next meeting of the Legislature,
which takes place in January next, and
to try to have an amendment made that
would permit the manufacture OF ethyl
alcohol if shown that the same could be
used only for scientific or mechanical
purposes.
| AS the lumber mills in and around
jackson could supply an abundance Of
sawdust to be used in venture OF this
kind, 1t is more than likely that, after
satisfactory arrangements have beer
made, such plant will be established
here that will be controlled under the
provisions of the law relating to wood
alcohol.

firmer hold on the admiration and affec
tons of the American people than any
man who came out of that conflict. In
the south was he especially beloved. A
native of Maryland and true to the best
traditions of the south, he was looked
upon in this section as representing in
the navy of the reunited country what
Joseph Wheeler and Fitzhugh Lee did
in the army.
Admiral Schley will go down in his
tory as the hero of the battle of Santi-
ago, and this in spite of all that hostile
and tyranical naval clique could do to
rob him of that nonor and confer it on
Sampson, who was nominally in COM
mand of the American fleet although
many miles from the scene of the battle.
The naval board die not alter the opinion
of the American people. Instead they
became stronger in their love for the
modest hero who after the battle said,
"There is glory enough for all"
Sampson died a few years ago broken
in mind and body and will best be re-
membered by the part he took in the
fight on Schley and as a pet of the naval
clique. Dewey suffered in the estinsa~
tior of the people by allowing a group
of politicians to announce him as can
didate for the presidency, thinking his
great popularity would be an asset.
Admiral Schley has lived quiet peace
full life since his retirement and now
goes to his reward after a life nobly
spent in the service of his country.
In the spring of 1901, shortly after the
historic investigation of the battle of
Santiago, Admiral Schley made trium-
phal tour of the south in acceptance of
invitations from different cities and
states, and three years after the battle
which made him famous was welcom ed
and acclaimed as if he was fresh from
winning his honors; testimonial of the
affection of his people and the resent
ment they felt at the attempted humila-
tion of their hero.
The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1911-10-07

tested facts that his plan is feasible and
practicable, and he states by this time
next year farmers in this section who
have depended largely on their cotton
crop, will be thousands of dollars ahead
under his plan. The principle prod
ucts encouraged and mentioned as early
truck are Irish and sweet potatoes, to-
matoes, akra, cabbage, lettuce and Gu
cumbers, which can be raised here prof
itably and easily.
Mr.. Lister states that his road will
push the early truck proposition from
now on, and the encouragement given
thus far has more than met the most
favorable views of its promoters. More
than 300 farmers met with him at Brax-
ton and gave most attentive and cor
dial audience to his address, frequently
interrupting to ask questions and to OBJ
tain advice on different things pertain
ing to planting and cultivating of some
particular vegetable. An idea of the
popularity and enthusiasm with which
this new department is being received
is shown by the daily request from diff
| ferent points for Mr.. Listers presence.
| He and associates will be on hand
early in Spring and personally assist,
whenever possible, the planting and
making ready of the crop.
After thorough trip of inspection
and assistance on the line of the G. G.
s. l., Mr.. Lister will go North for the
purpose of inducing immigration to this
section, by personal solicitation, book
let and descriptive advertising.
One of the proposed ideas is to get
one or two substantial truckers from
certain sections to pay personal visits of
inspection to this section and to report
the results of this trip to neighbors.
The G.. C S. will expend an enorm-
GUS sum to maintain this new depart
ment, paying large salaries to the ex-
perts who will conduct the experiments
and assist in the introduction of new
and modern methods of trucking, and
in farming and distributing descriptive
advertising setting forth the advant-
ages of our country. Much of the
printing is already in the hands of the
publishers, and is expected from the
press in the next few days. Magazine
and newspaper advertising will also be
used, and every plan imaginable
adopted to get more people.
This road will offer special rates to
! the trucker, which will be an additional
incentive to those who are looking for a
i new and prosperous country to settle.
