WILSON GIVES WARNING.
Proises Gibbet Of Disgrace for Those
Who Provoke Panic.

Who Provoke Panic.
New York.-President- Wilson
held up warning finger Tuesday
night to any man who might deliber-
ately start panic in the United
States in order to show that intended
legislative policies were wrong.
In speech at the banquet of the
Southern Society of New York, he de-
clared he had heard sinister predc-
ton of what would follow if the Dem
ocratic party put into effect changes
in economic policy.
The presidentelect first distin-
guished in his speech between nat
ural' and unnatural panics. He
said that in many cases panics had
come naturally because OF mental
disturbance of people with reference
to loans and money generally.
But the machinery is in exist,
can be deliberately done Frankly,
don't think there is any man living
who dares use the machinery for that
purpose. II he does, l promise him,
not for myself but for my fellow coun.
trymen, gibbet as high as Humans,
As for myself, am afraid of moth.
Ing"
The governor added that he meant
no literal gibbet, "for that is not
painful" but he said it would be a
gibbet of public disgrace which will
live as long as the members of that
mans family survive

hidden worth as the miner has found
hillside to be threshold Of worlds Of
cleaning gold He that receives this
gift comes to himself to find himself
in a friendly world 1t is a gift
greatly to be desired, as a fire in
winter, friend in misfortune; and
by its magic are miracles wrought on
those who dwell far from the king
dom of the Saint Good Will.
And the second gift is like unto It
a mild spirit of amnesty toward all
pilgrims whose faulty compass takes
them astray, and those VINO receive
it are straightway indicted into the
Order of the Forgiyers. 1t strikes
from the pilgrim as in the twinkling
of an eye. the cold bonds of hatred
vengeance, and all the brood of NAL
ice, which make their home with
man but to destroy him.
And the third gift is the Just Judg-
ment, by which the world is vastly
lightened by reason of the number Of
condemnations being lessened. For as
is the number of those we condemn
in this world, SO is the number of
dlsappointments we carry about with
US, and the number of the sunny
windows we have darkened for our
selves. There are lights of life which
just judgment forbears to extin-
guish, and he who bears this gift
walks in a mellow circle Of serene
tolerance.
And the fourth gift is that of the
Cheerful Spirit, having which one has
light at eventide, yea and at midnight.
For there is no darkness like unto
the darkness of the spirit bereft of
cheerful lamps and fires, and there
is no darkness of the spirit that the
St. Good VIII cannot dispel.
And when the pilgrim has received
these gifts he finds among them an
other, which is the gift of Vision,
whereby he sees the unseen. Indeed,
all the gifts of st. Good Will pertain
| to sight and vision, for as the physi-
| cal eye is the chief of the body's
| blessings, so is the gift of vision the
saver of life, which possessing, no man
perishes. For as blind men walk the
way and see neither rivers nor trees
nor men, so he who has not received
these best of gifts walks in great
blindness toward a world which en-
compasses him with benefcence, guild
ance, protection and inspiration.
| And when the pilgrims sailed on, To-!
they were new mortals. And no mat.
ter how great the distance they jour-
neyed, the pleasant gales Of Christ
mas isle were always in tbsir nos
trils. And they went to many lands,
but wherever they set foot, or built
a booth or raised tent, the people
knew they had been to the Blessed
isle. And Christmas trees sprang as
seedlings from the Tree Of Life, and
many kindnesses to friends and the
poor were borne abroad on the wings
of sweetness and light which forever
came forth fyor, the gifts of St. Good

THE HUMAN PROCESSION.

Why is a Boy Scout? And now
will ask ye something: Why is a
boyf Tell me that, an will tell you
why he is a scout. But l will inform
ye what Boy Scout isn't. He isn't,
as some have feared, an incipient at
tack of militaritis. He isn't being
brought up with the idea that the
chief end and aim of man is to per-
forate his fellowman. We have this
on the authority of Gen. Sir Robert
Baden-hyphen-Powell, the daddy of
all the scouts, who has come all the
way from England to instruct the
lads Of America in the gentle art of
scouting.
Two years ago today, Feb. s, 1910,

the Boy Scouts of America were, or
was, formally Incorporated, and since
then the organization has fiourished
like q Green Bay, Wis, tree, until
now almost any Saturday in almost
any city in almost any country you
can see a bunch of laddybucks, in
very rough rider costumes, marching
down the streets, through the towns
and across the prairies, down to the
field of battle to do and to die for
the eternal right" And what is this
eternal right?" Fighting? No, says
Gen. Badenhyphen-Powell, although
he is something of a scraper himself
not so. The service of humanity.
In addition to imbiding the spirit
Of moral uplift, the Boy Scouts are or
ganized for purposes Of scientific rec
reation, debrutalized sport and health

traditions of the good old times and
the memories of the little red school
house on the hill will scout such ideas,
but so far they have worked well.
Gen. Sir Robert Baden-hyphen-Pow
ell-he's bit particular about the n.y.
phen and compositors are so careless
is fifty-five years old this month.
He won his greatest fame as war
rior in the Boer-British difficulty by
his defense of Mafe-king against the
embattled hosts Of the Boer beseig-
ers. For months the garrison sub
sisted on a diet composed of mule
soup, mule steaks and fried locusts,
and Baden-hyphen-Powell shared this
fare with his men. After Mafeking
had been relieved and the bitter war
was over, Sir Robert was hailed by
the British as the great hero of con-
fict which hadn't developed any too
many heroes among the English Off
GERS.
Since his retirement from active
service Sir Robert has devoted prac-
tically all of his time to the Boy
Scout movement, which he earnestly
believes is the hope and savation of
the world.
And yet-'tis the Haunting flag, and
the roll of drums, and the music of
marching feet that have ever fright
ened the dove of peace and caused
her to fly away. How will the little
birdie know that these scouts are

ELLlSVlLLE SELLS
ELECTRIC PLANT.

Ellisville, Miss, Feb. 10.-At the
regular session of the city council
petitions were read from the citizens
requesting the sale of the city electric
plant to the Laurel Railway, Light
and Power Company. Resolutions
were passed to sell the electric plant
for the amount offered.
The Laurel company expects to
build an interurban line from Laurel
to Ellisville. The Hattiesburg Light,
Power and Railway Company is own
ed by the same people who own the
Laurel Light, Railway and Power
Company.
1t is said that in time the electric
line will be built on to Hattiesburg,
connecting the three towns. The pop
ulation Of the three towns is nearly
$4,000. The new people are to pay
$4,000 for the plant, agreeing to fur
nish lights upon the same terms and
under the same franchise as was
granted at Laurel, that a reasonable
contract be let for the street lighting
with the city for term Of not less
than five years. The title to the plant
will not pass until the erection of the
electric line from Laurel to this city.

terment in conditions, and the pre-
diction is freely made that an early
return to normal conditions can be
confidently looked for.

OF course one expects to hear a
great deal about politics in the chief
city of the state that carries the ma
ton, at this time. In Republican
ranks, you will hear that New York
will go for Taft on one hand, on the
other it will be uninstructed to await
Colonel Roosevelt's decision. In
Democratic circles, there are those
who claim that the Empire States
delegates will be for Harmon, while
others are quite as positive that the
delegates will be instructed for Wilson,
When it comes to official declarations
however, very few organizations, as
well as very few big men, have made
themselves clear on the question. The
New York Republican County Com
mittee has committed iself to Taft,
but no one says that the members of
the committee are on fire with enthu-
siasm. The cry of patronage domi-
nation is heard on many sides and it
would not be surprising If the leaders
employed machine tactics to bring
about a change of affairs, if it should
be shown clearly that the Republican
rank and file want someone else. AS
yet the Democratic committees have
made no such definite declaration.

that whether moral or not, such shows

being too plebian to be longer consid-
ered-and every actor and actorine
whom you have not seen for the past

if it's a man, he's just walked to town
from Squeedunk. But he knows so
much about the great Indian pageant
and everyone who was there that
you're compelled to swallow the dope
he gives you.
But get down to facts and this is
what you'll discover, nearly every big
store in Gotham has been featuring
special events in connection with the
Durbar special scenery, models and
costumes having been arranged for
the display. Then exclusive moving
picture concerns are showing the coro-
nation of King George and Queen
Mary as Emperor and Empress of
India with such splendid results that
if you know anything at all about the
country, you can pass a pretty good
bluff

effect that Governor Brewer was treat
ing Senator Percy with distinguished
consideration and practically allowing
him to name the levee board of the
district. This is the great matter Of
political interest to Delta people and
nearly everything else pales into po-
litical insignificance beside it. And
that in turn, Senator Percy as soon
as the Mississippi legislature will ad-
journ, will hand his resignation to
Governor Brewer.
The additional item Of interest 10
the rumor that Senator-elect Varda-
man will not accept the unexpired
term of Senator Percy; the honor
would be conferred on some states
man not particularly allied with eth
er faction and thus the incident would
be closed satisfactorily all around.
Senator Percy would be relieved of an
irksome situation and enabled to get
back to his law practice which is more
remunerative than the position of SEN
ator; the Vardaman forces would be
Quilted down with Percy out of the
Senate, and the restoration of real
peace in a forgetting of political
wounds fastened.
Whether there is anything at all
in the rumors, which are given for
what they are worth, as mere political
gossip floating about the state house
cannot be said, but the fact that Pink
Smith is to get the place of secretary
looks bit significant to say the
| least.
