adoption. Mr.. Dabney of Warren
got the floor and was bitterly criti-
cising the resolution when Mr.. Nor
rison of Grenada, seeing the pitch of
excitement and in order to avoid a
prolonged debate, moved the previous
question and that gave each side five
minutes. Dabney tried to speak and
so did Hamblen of Washington, and
Mr.. Cavett of Noxubee, but the Var
damanites were impatient. On the
roll call the resolution passed by "A
vote of 65 to 40.
A number of members explained
their votes, and Mr.. Sheffield, of Tate,
Vardaman man, said:
81 am unalterably opposed to fur
nishing campaign thunder for some
politician. who, not having enough
merits of his own, must resort to
this method for his election, therefore
| vote no."
The allusion is generally believed
to be directed at the author of the
resolution, who is claimed to be- a
candidate for congress.
Very little other business was trans
acted. The house adjourned until
tomorrow afternoon after passing a
couple of unimportant bills. The
conata bod on aftarnoOn cnccion hut
transacted business in a desultory
way, still being under the stress Of
the mornings excitement.

VAPOR TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH, COLDS, COUGHS,
SORE THROAT AND BRONCHITIS.

Everybody knows that breathing
HYOMEI few times a day through
the little hard rubber pocket inhaler
will in a short time drive out catarrh.
Many people regularly use the vapor
treatment at night in conjunction with
the inhaler, claiming that it hastens
results.
This is the vapor treatment: Into a
bowl three quarters full of boiling wa
ter pour scant teaspoonful of HY-
OMEI, cover head and bowl with towel
and breathe for five minutes the
soothing, healing, antiseptic HYOMEI
vapor. Try it when using HYOMEI
for any nose or throat ailment.
HYOMEI is guaranteed by THE
OWL DRUG STORE to put an end to
catarrh or money back. A bottle OF
HYOMEI costs SO cents; complete
outfit, which includes inhaler, $1.00.

to accept the referendum as the best
remedy to cure the abuses of popular
government in his own state?
1T only confuses and distracts to
drag into a national campaign the
prejudices and shibboleths which have
arisen in the contests of the different
states. Mr.. Taft's administration must
be judged by the attitude with which
he has approached and the success he
has attained in dealing with these ma
tional problems, and not according to
the views which any of us may hold
upon these local questions of state

He seconded Norwood's motion. Sen

But Senator Bailey of Lucedale
dug up the bloody shirt and waved it
like the blood-stained garment of

Senator McaLurin tried to defend the
minority and counseled peace. Sena.
tor Anderson got the incarnadined
garment from Senator Bailey and
fiourished it while. All the time the
debate was getting more bitter, and
temper and factional feeling rising.
Senator Greaves tore the wounds
wide open, when the minority coult

COURT MOURNING OVER.

London, March 6.-The five weeks
court mourning for the Duke of Fife
ends today and the usual round OF
royal functions will be resumed. That
mourning should have extended over
so long a period was a surprise, mas
much as it was longer than the period
commanded by the King for the Duke
of Teck, the Queens father.
Only two state functions were ar
fected by the mourning period, the
Thanksgiving service in st. Paul
which was on a less elaborate scale
than originally proposed. and the open
ing of Parliament, which was not &C
companied by the usual spectacular
functions. None of the courts had tt
be postponed and it did not interfere
with any levee, nor with the opening
of the fiat racing season on Englisl
tracks. which is set for March 20.

Mr.. Stimson said that President
Taft had devoted himself increasingly

asked Mr. Stimson, because, in faith
fully carrying out this pledge of four
years ago, in performing this vitality

President Taft pledged himself, said
Mr.. Stimson, to a progressive de-

dent Roosevelt had inaugurated, and
the completion and perfection of the
machinery by which the moral stand

be maintained"
ITO this work Mr.. Taft has devoted

the undramatic and inconspicuous
public service which leaves out all
thought of a mans own aggrandize-

"He has repeatedly, for example,
urged upon Congress to place upon
the classified civil service virtually all
of the presidential offices; a measure
which would at one blow strike out
; most of the enormous political power
of the president.
"The results of this deliberate self
abnegation are shown in the great

BEAUTIFUL Hair

A Simple Remedy Beauties The Hair,

What a pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-five years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or DID, having thin, strag-
Cling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive OIL
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in few days and forever
rid your self of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gen.
erations common garden Sage has
been used for restoring and preserving
the color of the hair; and Sulphur IL
recognized by Scalp Specialists as be
ing excellent for treatment of hal

ROOSEVELT THE REAL LEADER
Kansas Proeressives See In Him the
Hope Of the Common Man In This
StruuuIe,

opQSSlc.
The action of a small minority of the
state central committee of Kansas in
adopting a snap call for a state CON
vention and refusing the demand of
the progressive Republican voters of
the state for an opportunity to eX-
press their preference as to the preSi-
Dental candidate of their party
through primary, resulted in the
prompt formation of a progressive Re
publican Roosevelt organization for
the whole state This organization
was perfected at Topeka and adopted
a platform which lucidly expresses the
principle for which the Roosevelt pro
gressves are fighting throughout the
country. That platform is worthy of
the careful consideration of Republic
an voters in every state. 1t says:
1--WE believe that Colonel Roosevelt
stands for the constructive progressive
policies of the country. We believe
that his policies have given new life
to our party and new patriotic impulse
to our country and a new hope to the
common people. Our party had its
birth in such an impulse given to it by
| the leaders who brought the party into
being and who guided it to its high
destiny The torch of liberty that Lin
coin bore Roosevelt holds today. He is
the hope of the common man in his
struggle for political Independence as
a means to economic freedom.
"The fight for these great things
| finds III Colonel Roosevelt an intrepid
leader. We believe that under his lead
ership we can turn the tide of distrust
and defeat which has been running so
strongly against our party during the
| three years last passed.
I'VE congratulate our brother pro-
gressives in North Dakota upon their
| splendid fight and magnificent victory;
| though it was under the banner of an
other leader it was in the common
| cause. We point to the vote of that
| primary as justification of the need to
rescue the party from the tyranny of
minority as eXemplified by the sue
cess in other states of patronage poll
tics under the convention system.
1--WE demand that our party be put
upon representative basis as it is in
| North Dakota. We believe that the
percentage of progressive sentiment in
Dictated by the North Dakota primary
| is found all over the nation and that
| it calls for a change of leadership in
our party. We believe that the first
duty of a party is to represent the
| people; that self government is the first
end of a republic. and therefore we
| pledge ourselves to work in our coun-
ties for the direct vote at the primaries
which shall set forth the preference
of the people upon the presidency and
| shall indicate so far as possible the
! choice of the people of delegates to the
| Chicago convention from the several
congressional districts"
