PRESIDENT WILSON SUBST4NTLATED

President Wilson said there were lobbyists at the capital trying
to prevent the enactment of the tariff bill and the Investigation has
proven the correctness of his statement. In fact, it has been shown
through what the democrats have been able to corkscrew out of
Mulhall that the business o~flobbying is even better organized than
the public ever dreamed. The testimony OF Mulhall has shown
that the Manufacturers Association has been al work for years in
bringing congressman around" and in preventing the re election of
those whom the Association could not handle. Yet, in the face of
all this, the country is still asked TO swallow the doctrine that the
tariff is a necessity if "home manufacturers continue to exist.
The people of the United States have been hoodwinked and led
around by the nose as long as they are going to be by the tariff bar
ons. The protective tariff has had more to with pilng the wealth
of the country up in the hands of a few hundred than all other agen.
cies combined. To talk about Infant industries now when we have
ninety millions of people and a country conceded to be the greatest
in fertility and in varied resources in the world, is the height of fol.
y and an insult to the intelligence of the manhood of the country.
If the manufacturers of this country can not compete with those of
other countries now, they never will. 1t is time to cease levyinp
tribute on the country that the man or men who run factories shall
be insured a profit in their business. Let the democrats stand solid.
ly behind the tariff bill and pass it practically as it came from the
House: If Louisiana can not operate her sugar mills without taxing
the balance of us, let her get out of the sugar business. While we
recognize the necessity of a tariff for revenue, still we area believer
in the doctrine buy where you can buy the cheapest and sell where
you can get the best prices"

NOT BEFORE 1T WIS NEEDED

The Judges and Chancellors, who met in Jackson last week to
consider a reformation of the court procedure of Mississippi, were
engaged in a good cause, but they did not meet before the work
they discussed was needed. For time killing we will place the av-
erage circuit court against anybodys slow mule. For downright
foolishness, bathed with the sanctity of legality, there is hardly any.
thing that equals a circuit court selecting a jury, especially in CAPT
tai cases. The Judges can hardly steer clear of apparent shy
twaddle-they are fettered by precedent. Talk to the average law
yer about the foolishness of the courts and he will begin to tell YOU
about the sacredness of the courts and the law, when as a matter of
fact, much that the lawyers call claw" has been read into the books
by hairspitting supreme court decisions for generations past. We
need common sense in our courts as we'll as in other things, and We
congratulate the present able and distinguished supreme court of
the state that it is applying the rule of common sense and is discredit
ing technicalities. The lawyers are to blame for the complex con-
dition of our court procedure.
The recommendations made by the Judges in Jackson are in line
with a wise and benefcent public policy and ifg given legislative ap-
proval will certainly clear away the brush that besets the administra-
ton of the law. We commend our judges for what they are endeay.
oring to do and it is hoped that the Legislators in January will give
an attentive ear to their recommendations.

Several of the newspapers over the state are making the charge
that Gov. Brewers crusade against the gratters is to further his po-
liucal interest. We do not believe that such is the case, but will,
for the sake of argument, concede that such is his motive. Hasn't
this crusade instituted at his instigation been the means of saving
the state many thousands of dollars as well as cleaning the state of
a big lot of grafters1 Should Gov. Brewer aspire to another Office.
the crusade that he has carried on would but naturally be the means
of bringing to him many thousands of votes. We do not recall in
late years where any of his predecessors made any effort to investi-
gate the corrupt methods that have been carried on, evidently for a
number of years. If anyone is to be given credit for the "house-
cleaning" why shouldn't it be Governor Brewer7-Moss Point Ad-
verliser.

ADDITIONAL UNITED STATES CIRCUIT

be held at Memphis embracing the territory Of North Missis-

composed of three Judges, to be selected by the President.
1t seems to us that this court is a necessity. The volume of
business now pouring into the courts is such as to require an add;-
tional court AS the court is now constituted, all of the business in
the Federal courts in Mississippi and Alabama is carried to New Or
leaus for a new trial; the business from Tennessee is appealed to the
court sitting at Cincinnati, and the business from Arkansas goes to
St. Paul, Mimi. These courts are not only from one to two wears
behind with the business, but in addition to that the expenses Of at
