Much Land Undeveloped


In view of such figures as
these, one is tempted to ask why
there is any cry of a land fam
inc? The Government is still
giving away land for nothing,
and in some localities it is giving
the homesteader 800 acres, while
in others it has reduced the Pc
riod of time required to get title
to a homestead to three years.
Undoubtedly the rush to Can
ada is largely misguided. It has
been induced active advertising
on the part of Canada, and by
more liberal regulations for the
taking up of lands. Many Amer
leans who have precipitately
crossed the border are likely to
come back again as soon as they
can do so without loss, and they
will be the better for their ex-
periences. Moreover, they viii
have learned that the distant
fields always look greenest, and
that Uncle Sam still has as good
lands as are being given away
by any other government.

what an awkward shape this would
put the lower end of Forrest county
In. II the line between Forrest coun-
ty and the proposed county of Stone
should run east and west and cut off
two-thirds of township one south 70,
and one south thirteen on the Stone
county side, it would leave both coun-
ties in very much better shape and
would be more agreeable to the land
owners. Those who own a majority of
the land in the two north tiers of Sec
tions in these two townships, we are
told, are opposed to the proposed lines,

ing run as above suggested. In addi-
ton to this. Forrest county would lose
nearly ten miles of railroad, including
about three miles of the main line of

I preached and spoke oftener in its
advocacy than almost any man in Mis-.
sissippi. l would not be in favor of
relaxing or changing our laws against
the manufacture of intoxicating IL
quors out of grain, or out of anything
else, to be sold as a beverage. |
would not be in favor of doing this if
it would bring a train load of gold
dollars into Hattiesburg every day,
but the distinction between this last
and the production of alcohol as an
incident, in the manufacture of a num-
Der of products out of useless articles,
when the alcohol is to be used or is to
be sold for the purpose of lettering
instead of injuring the material con-
dition of our people, is so palpable
and so plain until there is no COMPARE
son beween the two, and it is my firm
conviction that the rejection of a prop
osition or request, so reasonable,
will do a great deal more against the
cause of prohibition than it could pos.
sibly do for it.
Some time ago friend asked me
for an opinion upon this subject. /
gave him my opinion, and he asked
me to give expression to it in the

concerned. Respectfully.

anti Third Term
TALK APPLAUDEO
Mccall, Of Massachusetts,, Leading
Republican Congressman, Takes
Stand Against Roosevelt.

Washington, Feb 7.-Applauded by
majority of the regular Republicans
and sharply questioned by insurgents,
Representative Mccall of Massachus-
etts, long a prominent Republican in
the House yesterday aligned himself
with the movement against Presi-
dental third term.
In speech in the house Mr.. Nc
Call declared American Presidents
had set precedent of retiring after
: a service of eight years and quoted
the declaration made by President
Roosevelt before the end of the last
term that he would not be candidate
for reelection.
Representative Norris of Nebraska,
! insurgent leader, questioned Mr.. Nc
4 Call repeatedly with the evident pur-
pose of indicating that the sentiment
against a third term probably was
! against third consecutive term"
rather than against a third term serv-
ed after lapse Of four years out of
the White House.
Were not Mr. Roosevelt's state
ment made when he was serving his
second term?" asked Mr.. Norris, land
in response to the suggestion that
he become a candidate for a third con
secutive term?"
THAT is undoubtedly true" said
Mr. Mccall, "but the statement will
stand now on its merits"
Attacks of the Massachusetts Re
publican upon the danger that nigh
lie in the use of Presidential power t.
enforce a nomination of a third tern
brought another interruption from tn,
insurgent leaders.
Representative Norris asked If tn
: sentiment against third term woul,
apply to a man who had dropped GU
of office for four years.
with the authority a man has VIII
has served eight years in the Pres
dency," replied Mr.. Mccall, "thes
men could undoubtedly have stimulai
: ed their friends to such an extent Ina
they could have become candidates
even after lapse of four years.
