VIEWS AND
INTERVIEWS
Demand RECOGNITION.

John Alden Thayer. member-elect from
the Third Massachusetts, Congressional
district. who was seen at the New Will
lard last night. has invited the new
Democratic members of the Sixty-second
Congress to join him in demanding from
the old members equal rights on COM
mlttees. Speaking to the point he said:
The entirely new Democrats elected to
the Sixty-second Congress number S.
They are the most essential part of the
Democratic membership. for by the vic
tories gained in the eighty-three districts
which they represent it has become pos
sible for the Democrats to obtain a ma
jority in Congress.
1t seems to me that the new members
should get together and formulate plans
as to what We desire in the methods of
appointing committees
Heretofore. seniority has had a pre-
dominant weight in securing such posi-
tions but under the changed conditions of
the past few years it would seem that it
would be altogether unjust to US that
such should longer be the case We aHN
entitled to at least our proportonata
share of the committee places and chair.
manshps of the important committees.
While We would not underrate the
ability Of those who have served pre-
viously in Congress. it is altogether pat
ent on reading the list OF the members
of the Sixty-second Congress that the
men who will take their seats for the
first time in the halls of the national
legislature are in many cases the equals
of those who have rendered service be-
fore
1T is to our districts more than to any
others that the Democrats must look for
their continuance in power. and if we
who have wrested, in most every case
unaided. our districts from the Republi-
cans are not recognized. not for ourselves
but chiefly for our constituents, then We
cannot in 1872 appeal to the electors of
our districts on the ground that they
have been represented by men who have
been Influential in making the will of the
people prevail

just exchanged regiments, and now is an
officer in the Second Life Guards. This
naturally will mean his constant presence
in London, and it is understood that King
George has placed White Lodge. in Rich

Prince Alexander usually has a good
story to tell. when in congenial company.
One of the best relates to when he was
stationed at Aldershot some years ago.
1t is making the rounds now in Mayfair
A friend Of the prince. also one Of the
garrison. had been out motoring one day
and had had the misfortune Of killing
| dog. He alighted to ascertain the ex
tent Of the damage, when the owner Of
the animal approached with a gun over
his shoulder. Not unnaturally. he was
very angry over the slaughter of his pet.
and scorned the motorists offer Of a SOW
ereign in full settlement. He pointed out
that 1t was a valuable dog and that in
addition his days shooting had been
spoiled.
Ultimately, the matter was -compro-
missed for G3. When the motorist, how
ever, had time to think it over. he came
to the conclusion tLat he had been
DONE" ard. that since It was not the
shooting season. the mans sport hardly
could have been spoiled. He placed the
matter in the hands Of his attorneys. who
managed to trace the man and demand
the return of the ca. declaring that the
money had been obtained urder false pre-
lenses. since his days shooting could
not possibly have been spoiled"
The man was emphatic In his reply
His days shooting had been spoiled.

A SuecessfuI Petition.

There was a substitute chaplain on
duty in the House one day. and he
prayed too long. almost interminably.
The regular chaplain does not pray longer
than two minutes. The substitute prayed
SO long that Speaker Cannon's mind man
ifestly wandered; for when the substitute
chaplain concluded Uncle Joe brought
down his gavel with a heavy whack on
the desk and said: THE petition will be

Registers Trade Edition.

The Mobile Register issued its
seventy Grst annual trade edition on
the morning Of September J. The
paper was a monster 10 size, q rare
example Of mechanical makeup and
q ncwsy and most readable production
from n literary point OF view. Every
section OF the territory so capably
covered by The Register was gener'
ously remembered in the pages OF the
big issue, but the gulf coast section
came In for lavish description, the
literary output OF Col. II. W. Banks
OF this city. While the entire issue
deserves the highest complimentary
commcndation, The Register has
shown It's faith in the territory along
the gulf coast and the people resident
thereof in the first really beffttinp
manner OF any OF the outside publica
tions. The articles written by Col
onel Banks are not only interesting II
themselves but show that cultivated
style that distinguishes the work 0
this talented author. The Registe
management and Colonel Banks ar
to be congratulated on the splendi'
results OF the combination Of thei
rare genius as shown In the annua
trade edition.

Boost, Don't Boast.

There is u great deal OF difference
10 the two words beginning with the
same letter--boost and boast IL Is
the province aud duty OF every good
citizen to boost his home town, espec-
tally when that home community Is
so richly endowed as is the Port Of
Pascagoula. Keeping evcrlastingly
at 1t IN telling the outside world Of
the wonderfully rich and promising
natural possessions OF the port tends
to create a lively interest on the part
OF the people away from home to In
yestigate for themselves. Once they
come to the city and look over the
field for themselves they become nat
ural boosters, whether they remain
permauently themselves or come
merely as tourists. Boosting, how.
ever. leaves the after effects OF an
unpleasant taste, as 1t were, and the
peoplc desired TO be attracted rs per-

TWO MILLION DOLLARS
Astounding Total Annually Con-
trIbuted By Mississlpplans
To mail Order Houses"

Jackson, Miss, Sep 5.--As indica.
ting the extent to which Mississip.
plans are addicted to the mail order
habit"--of sending money out Of the
state to the big concerns Of the North
and East for goods which they can
purchase at home practically as
cheaply, and at the same time keep
the money 10 circulation In their
respective communities, the figures Of
the postmaster Of Charleston, Talla.
hatchie county, are most startling.
According to William Quarles, Jr.,
who holds that ONCE, from June 30.
1910, to July 1, 1911, the staggering
sum OF s2l,s 800 was sent to mail order
houses. This does not include the
express money orders, or the amounts
sent through banks and by exchange.
These mediums would augment the
amount half that much again.
Charleston is a little town Of not
much over 1000 inhabitants, and the
county surrounding 1t is not thickly
settled.
Statisticians are now fguring that
lie u small county like Tallahatchie
sends that much money out OF the
state annually for stuff that can be
bought In Mississippi, the drain
through the post0fiices alone, taking
Tallahatchic county figures as . basis
to 70 on, amounts to something close
to S2,000,000 annually. With the
express money orders and the bank
exchange added to this, II will be
beyond $780, 900.

becoming famed for their stock and
for their sales, is, IN the opinion oi

One Years Success.

just one year ago the control OF
THE DEMoCRAT-STARp passed, by pur'
chase, into the hands OF the present
management. The year that has
passed has been one OF much work,
much pleasure and more satisfaction,
and the many changes that have been
made IN the appearance, contents and
makeup OF the paper speak for them
selves. That these changes have met
with public approval is shown 10 the
increased subscription lists and the
largely increased business done In
every branch OF the plant. Without
the generous support and cooperation
OF the people none OF these things
could have been possible, 10 fact the
paper, nor any other business, could
have lived, The year has been hard
one throughout the entire country,
hence the showing made by The
