country. Considering the rapid growth of the Unised States the people Of the South have shown remarkable per sistence in holding their big landed estates together. The great ranches of the West are disappearing under the pressure of the homeseekers. They are being divided into truck patches. 1t would be greatly to the benefit o; the South if more of her plantations were going in the same way.
 Big plantations generally are c:II- ;iyated under the tenant system. In this way the land deteriorates and the production, as a rule, is not what 1t should be. The best agricultural re- suits undoubtedly come from the smaller farms, which are titled by their owners. The bis plantation is an obstacle to farming development and to the increase of population and ma terial wealth.
 There may be difficulties which will require time to overcome Tn the cut ting up or the Southern plantations and the large land holdings in the vest, but it will come as the demand for homes by an increasing population grows stronger.

Next year will be one of jubilee for the democrats. The spells of the re. cent campaign are in sight and vii! De promptly handed out after Wood TOW Wilson is inaugurated on March i.
 President Taft, foreseeing the i'm rending rcut of his raithless party saved the scaIps of some 35,OOO re- publican second and third-class post masters by putting them under the protecting care of the civil service.

commend the determination of the sheriff to put a stop to any violation Of the gamblng laws this state and wish him success in his efforts in that direction. Secret and hidden games are the worst for tyro at the business, as hid away behind locked doors there are no onlooking friends to detect a crooked deal or shifting the cut" If gambling is to be per Laitted t would be much better for the sucker to have it in the open where everybody may sec the man Ter in which it is carried on. The laws in this state against gambling are rgd and wth all officers, includ- ing deputy sheriffs, constables and cty police, active in the enforce ment of these the violators will soon tire fthe game and all attractions will disappear.

CONGRESS MEETS
 AGAIN TOMORROW.

The last session of the sixty.third congress will convene tomorrow. Bar ring a holiday recess it will continue 10 March 4th. With the routine bust ness of the session coming regular on fixed days there wi be but little time for considering any important busi ness other than the appropriation bills required for carrying on the govern ment With the ending of the pres ent congress next spring the demo cratic party will come into control of the government, having in the re- cent election won d majority of both houses of congress and the presi- dency.
 The democrats come into control at ths tme on a clear understanding of what is expected in the matter of reforms and so far there seems to be perfect agreement among the party leaders that the pledges given the people n the Baltimore platform shaii be rigidly and faithfully redeemed.
 The prominent issue on which the democrats have been returned to pow CT is that promising and honest and downward revision of the tariff. This was the issue on which Grover CIeve- land twice reached the presidency as democratic candidate, but that was ct a time when the strength of pro lection democrats" was much strong CT than now. Under the leadership of Sam Randall many democrats in those days would not listen to tariff reduc- ton on articles upon which has since been Bui ded gigantic monopoly. Happily, there W!ll ne no handail ueih- ocratic protectionists in the cOmns syty-third congress to block honest revision Of the tarif in accordance with the demand of the people.
 Those who stood pat" with Presi- dent Taft in defense of the old repub- lican protective tarin theory ID the recent election did not amount to one fourth of the votes in the country, SO will be easy for the democrats to carry out their tariff pledges and in dong so they will receve the plaud it's of the country.

THERE ARE two very old and very poor excuses used by merchants for not Advertising.
 ONE, Business is so good I don't need to Advertise"
 THE OTHER, Business is SO poor can't afford to Advertise"
 IN THE United States. our doctors are in demand only when people are sick. The greater the number of sick people, the greater profit for tbe doctor.
 WHEN BUSINESS is sick there is no cure equal to Advertising. ] KNOW of a small city in Penn. syiYania where there is a very large railroad shop.

 THE GROCERS had to decide. quickly. whether they would continue 10 carry" those who had been run. Aing monthly accounts, and take their chances on getting paid, or refusing further credit and loosing patronage.
 ONE DEALER decided 10 refuse further credit. At the same time he contracted for large space in his local paper and devoted that space to ex- plotting the Quality of his wares. his exceptional Delivery Service and to the fact that as he did a strictly Cash Business, he could afford to give better value because he had no credit losses to cover.
 OTHER MERCHANTS in this town said the grocer referred to was crazy. that he could not make Advertising pay, especially at this time.
 IT DID PAY that grocer. is the most prosperous in his vicinity and business has never become so good that he could afford to stop Advertis- ing
 IN CHINA a doctor is not paid when one of his patients is sick t is his duty to prevent their getting sick. If one does get sick the doctor must attend but his fee dEscontinues. IT IS. therefore, to the Doctors in terest 10 keep his patients well.

 The Commercial congress has found that the raB.o Of effective citizenship to population in the South is but lit tie more than one-third that of the agricultural states of the West. Tho big plantation system Is largely re sponsible for this difference. The prob ;sn of breaking up these large plan. tations is, however, serious one.

The election results have not as yet been finally announced in the state of California, the final count not hay ing yet been determined upon in Los Angeles. Whether Wilson has few hundred majority in the Golden state or whether Roosevelt leads by few hundred will not change the fact that the Johnson political machine received a set back from which it will hardly be able to recover.
