The league is pledged to remain strictly
nonpartiasn, and 1t will give both sides
of the argument on any topic, like the
public ownership of public utilities. But
on certain questions the league will take
a firm stand, such as the prevention of
the resubmission of the prohibition law,
the passage of pure food laws, and laws
for the prevention OF the white slave
traffic.
The plan is for the outlook committee
of the league to prepare and introduce
in the Legislature certain laws which il
wishes enacted and then before the next
election pledge certain legislative candi-
dates to the support of those measures.
and meanwhile the program committee
will have educated the women of each
legislative district SO they will vote for
the men who are pledged to the support
of those things. and after the Legislature
meets the outlook committee will see
that the laws are introduced and will
stand like a lighthouse of warning TO :ie

pledge he win be politically dead for

Sins Against Chastity Said to
Increase in Direct Ratio to
Civilization" or Dressing
of Society.

Speech was given US that we might
hide our thoughts" says Macchiayelli,
with fne irony. Initiating him. we may
say that dress is given US that We may
reveal our sex. our rank or once, our
occupation. our personality. The more
We cover, so much the more DO we re-
veal.
Most people, taking a cursory view OF
clothing. would say that II has two func-
tons, to promote modesty or decency,
and TO protect the wearer; also that both
these functions are served by covering
and hiding the person. But We have
found reason to suppose that the first
dress was a string around the waist or
shoulders, to serve as a pocket or belt
for carrying a tool or weapon. And now
We discover that the more We cover our
selves the more We reveal ourselves So
that both historically and personally the
superficial judgment proves its own shall
lowness, says DR.. George Eaves in the
Birmingham Age-Herald.
No sooner was the string around the
waist or shoulders than the woman and
the man hung leaves upon II, for dec
orative purposes. BY and by skins OF
animals are employed, the bark OF trees,
presently woven material, and at last
the modern array of silks and velvets
and laces and ribbons, shoes for the feet
and millinery for the head. But as to
decency, again l must insist that the
woman of the Dyak nation, in Borneo,
who wears a single leaf, has her feel
ings of modest decency as truly, though
not with such complexity, as the mod
ern Western lady who inherits the deli
cate soul of a thousand Western moth
ers all extensively attired.

b to pin the sheet Of paper and the

In Mr.. Bryan's opinion the coming
president will find conditions more
favorable than has ever been tht

cumstance is due to the fact tha
Mr. Wilson is backed by unitee

will of large part of the Republi-
can party. hence more than an,
other president, he will have th'

Watson Retrieved.

Through the intercession Of Sner-
d f7Fiournoy and several citizens,
Gov. L. e. Hall has reprieved Albert
Watson sixty days beginning from
January II, the day fixed for tn"
execution.
The reprieve is suggested in the
sntipication of retrial Of Mrs
Bailey on some technicality. Mrs
Bailey was convicted Of attempting
10 administer poison 10 her husband
C. C. Bailey, but the statement with
intent TO kill was omitted ipadvert-
entity. II is quite evident that the
poison was not intended for th'
good health of Bailey nor to pro
long his life, but the teachnica
failure of intent to kill, etc, may b.
sufficient to have the case remand
| ed for trial.
The material witness against Mrs
Bailey is Watson. and if he wer'
hanged Mrs. Bailey would escape
conviction. II has been held tha
Mrs. Bailey is no less guilty thai
| Watson, and therefore she shoul'
not be permitted to escape on tech
nicalities and cheat the ends Of jus
tice. II Is true Mrs. Bailey is
woman. but such a woman as is Mr.;
Bailey is entitled to little c0nsidera
tion and sympathy.
! Probably Mrs. Bailey may be trie
for murder, but in either even
/ Watson must be the main witnes
Ifor the State.
i In this case the reprieve may ope
| rate in the maintenance Of law an
| the ,vindication Of justice.

THE WIDOW PERSISTS
Her Husband, Robert F. Rogers, Was
Lynched at Tallulah.

In a telegram it is stated that the
most sensational case which VII!
come up for trial before Judge Niles
in the Federal Court at Vicksburg,
Miss. this week will be the 100000
damage suit against the V. S. & P
Railroad by Mrs. Annie Rogers OF
North Louisiana, who files it in the
name of herself and children. The
claim is based upon the alleged
ground that this railroad furnished
transportation for mob several
years ago who took from the jail
at Taliulah her husband, Robert L.
Rogers, who was hanged by the mob
on May 26, 1906. The case was tried
two years ago and peremptory in
structions granted for the defend
ants. An appeal was taken to the
Circuit Court Of Appeals. which tri-
bunal reversed the lower court and
held that the case should have been
submitted to the jury. The railroad
company then applied to the Su-
preme Court of the United States
for a writ Of errer to the Circuit
Court Of Appeals, but was denied
and the case now stands for trial.
From the day of the lynching the
widow has persisted in the prosecu-
tiOD of this suit with unrelenting
vigor.
1t may be recalled that the mob
was conveyed, as alleged, on a spe-
cial of the Y. S. g. P. from Monroe.
The lynching at the time aroused
considerable indignation, especially
on the part of the citizens of Tai
lulah, but the law, as in such eases
was powerless or ineecfftive and
there was little done to apprehend
the lynchers. The widow has never
been baffled in her determination
10 asenge her husbands death, and
finally as she could not reach the
lynchers she has instituted legal
proceedings against the Y. S. & P
railway. The case may be pro-
longed through the rules of the
court and the technicalities of law
but whatever be the finality of tht
suit, Mrs, Rogers has demonstrated,
through her persistence under the
most trying circumstances. that she
determined on the prosecution OF
her case to the extreme end OF tht
law. What else could she do, since
her incentive. as implied. Is not onl,
a monetary compensation but heI
greater purpose Is to hold some one
some agency, accountable for The
lynching Of her husband.

The Weather and the Crops.

New Orleans Plcayune January D:
Following a rather protracted spell
of wet and cold weather in the cot
ton belt. more favorable conditions
have prevailed during the past few
days. The weather has ceased to be
factor in connection with the crop
now being marketed except insofar
as il inlerfereS with shipments IN
teh inferior. but the preparations
for the next crop are materially in
luenced by the conditions that pre-
vail in the cotton section during the
present month. The heavy rains
have put season in the ground,
and some good weather is now need
ed TO enable farmers to do the ne
cessary winter plowing, so as to put
the fields in a proper state Of pre-
paration for the next crop.
From all parts Of the cotton belt
come reports Of an intention to in
crease acreage as much as possible.
The fine prices which have pre-
vailed during the present season
and the indications that the worlds
consumption of cotton has increased
have encouraged farmers to prepare
to plant as much as possible during
the coming spring. In preparation
for such large planting therei is
general -easerness to get at prepara-
tory field work as early as possible.
as the ultimate yield depends not a
little on The thorough preparation
Of the soil before seeding.
As the feeling is decidedly opti-
mistic throughout the South, ii is
likely that more acreage will also be
devoted to corn and other food and
forage crops. Southern farmers have
found it profitable to grow their
own food crops, as well as forage,
hence it is not likely that increased
planting of cotton will mean any de-
creased interest in other crops.
