Resolutions of Respect.

Resolutions Of Saltillo F. & A.
M. Lodge No. 218, of the death
Of Bro. w. r. Hampton.
Whereas. it has pleased God to
call Brother Hampton from his
labor on earth to refreshments
in His Kingdom above;
Resolved, that our community
has lost q worthy, true and faith
full citizen, the church a devoted
Christian who was always doing
something in his Masters SER
vice, the Masonic fraternity a
brother who was constant in the
teachings and true to the obi
cations of his order.
Brother Hampton had been a
member Of the Saltillo lodge for
forty four years having been
made a Mason in 1868. In all
these years he attended all the
meetings of his lodge, only when
he was prevented from doing SO
by sickness. AS a man, Uncle
Buck Hampton. as he was gener-
ally known, was respected and
loved by everybody, and if he
had an enemy it was not known.
He had a pleasant and kind word
far everybody. He had no chill
dren, and his wife preceded him
to the grave some six years ago.
Being left alone. without any
family in his old age. he was al.
ways cheerful and never com.
planned. He had no dread OF
death and met it as one lying
down to pleasant dreams. We
should emulate the example sci
by this worthy man whose spirit
has now gone to the God who
gave it.
Be it further resolved, that q
copy of these resolutions be fur.
nished the Tupelo Journal fol
publication.

The Chicago Convention.

The Chicago convention of the
republican party was organized
temporarily Tuesday at noon by
the election of Senator Root of
New York, as temporary chair
man, defeating Gov. McGovern
of Wisconsin, the latter being
the candidate of the Roosevelt
faction for the position. The
following day the temporary Or
ganization was made permanent,
placing Mr.. Taft in control of
the convention.
Owing to the orders of the AS
ISOLATED Press the country has
been denied any information
from the convention except that
received through the newspapers,
which comes from twelve to
twenty-four hours late. The lat
est received yesterday afternoon
before going to press was that
Taft was still in control of the
convention and that Mr.. Roose-
welt had led a bolt and would
hold another convention and be
nominated as an independent.
The meager Information furn-
ished the public is no credit to
the Associated Press, whose sale
of news to the daily papers Of
the country is made possible by
public patronage. The public is
entitled to better treatment than
it received at the hands of this
organization in shutting out ev-
cry avenue of information from
the convention.

New Lease of Life
For Tariff Board.

Washington, July 23-President
Taft's Tariff Board. today, secured the
promise of one more year OF life from
the Senate. After a short fight. that
body, by vote of "a to 20. authorized
in the sundry civil appropriation bill
an expenditure of 1856, 900 for another
years work of investigation by the
tariff experts.
Whether the appropriation is finally
made will depend upon strength with
which the House resists the Senate s
demands. The House refused 30 pre-
vide for the Tariff Board when it
framed the sundry civil bill. and its
eonferees are expected to fight the pro-
vision when the big supply measure
is sent into conference between the
two houses
Democrats opposed the Tariff Board
provision, today, with but three ex-
captions. while the Regular and Pro-
gressiVe Republicans were united in
its support. The first move by the
Democrats was an amendment By
Senators Stone and Bacon for a con-
gressional tariff commission, To consist
OF five senators and five members of
the House. This plan was defeated
by 4 straight party vote, 81 to 81.
The Presidential Tariff Board was
made more suhservient to Congress,

reservations. That left Mr. Stanley
with but two other members of the
committee of nine in complete accord
with him. They are Representatives.
Bean of Texas and McGilicuddy OF
Iof Maine. Littleton's views, to which
much publicity has been given, favor
principally a joint body of the Senate

and the exclusion from Interstate
commerce of corporations In restraint
of trade. He declines to support a
proposed bill to put upon corpo-
alton the burden of proving it Is
reasonable restraint of trade. Such
, a bill. Mr. Littleton SAYS. would pre-
serve 'the chief fault of the Sherman
law. which is the policy OF helated
attack after concern has grown up
