KILL no co HIS

One of our good business men suggested to us not long since
that the killing of female calves and young COWS should be prohibi-
ted by law.
When ont comes to think about the great dimunition in the
number of cattle in this section, and indeed turnout the country, and
the high price of beef, be must concede the merit of the suggestion.
We believe the time will soon come when the public will regard the
slaving of a female calf " a COW as inimical to the general welfare,
and that proper measures will be taken to protect the lives of this
part of the bovine family.
The population of the world is increasing much more rapidly
than the number of cattle are increasing; indeed, it is probable that
the number of cattle is decreasing. This can produce but one re
suit: high price for beef.
We believe that there is not a state in the Union where stock
raising can be more successfully followed than in Mississippi. AT
the great Northwest Fair recently held at Kansas City, the Misss-
sippi cattle carried off the first prizes. We can raise any sort of
provender in Mississippi that can be raised in any other state. We
have plenty of water and fine climatic conditions and we believe at
no distant day that this state will take front rank among the stock
raising states of the country.
Yes, it is wise to spare the heifers and COWS.

BREWER OWNS no WHITE FLAG

The little bunch who are assaling Gov. Brewer, and who are
resorting to every device known to perverted minds to hinder him
in his efforts to purity the public service and to see that every dol
lar that is due to go into the public treasury, goes there, may as
well understand now as later that he owns no white flag and that the
war they have begun on him will be met unrelentingly and the fight
ing forced on every part of the ground, The Governor proposes to
carry the onslaught made on his administration and the issue raised
by d coterie of pettifogging politicians, to the people and let them
pass upon the matter.
1t is the public interest that he has been protecting, and Brewe
has never yet appealed to the great body of the people in vain. He
has endeavored to live up to his oath of office. The fight is on, an
the Governor proposes 20 make the battle hot and furious. He has
every cause to feel rghteously indignant. Net only have the bunc h
assailed his public acts and accused him of the basest designs, but
they have dragged his private life into the mre and if possible
give none.

.NTSSTSSIPPL4N U'RITES BOOK

Only a few days ago we secured a copy of Joe, the Book Farm
er," written by Garrard Harris, associate editor of the Mobile Reg
lister. The book is interestingly written. 1t mirrors the farmer who
is satisfied with his surroundings and who is endeavoring TO succeed
TO-DAY with the method, in vogue 100 years ago. The book shows
what the inquuing boy reaped by listening to trained agriculturists.
The boy got interested in what the Government was irving to teach
the farmers and he put into practice progressive farming. He sue
ceeded. Mr.. Harris presents all this in a most interesting manner,
and takes the reader along step by step in a way that enthuses and
that ryets the lesson the writer is seeking to inculcate most force
fully on the mind of the reader.
Mr. Harris is a native Mississippian and until about a year ago
resided at Jackson. He has already achieved some distinction
as a magazine writer. He is a brilliant character and we predict
for him a wide field of usefulness.

Excise Violations.

Ii would seem from a case now at
hand that the courts may have to pass
upon a nice question of excise law
application. and ii Is to be hoped that
they will interpret the law in the spirit
Of its enactment and give the community
the benefit of the protection which its
trainers intended. The new law defines
certain offenses and imposes restrictions
in the dispensing of liquor in the Dis
trict, usually in terms which refer to
licenses issued under this act" II has
been contended that such offenses, COM
United prior TO the issuance of licenses
under the new act. are not to be prose-
cuted under the new law. Inasmuch as
no licenses at all have been issued under
the new statute yet and none can be for
some time to come, a period interposes
IN which If the law Is loosely interpreted
and applied by the courts offenses which
are specifically condemned by the new
enactment may go unpublished. 1t should
certainly be the effort of the courts to
carry into effect without delay pro-
visions of the new law which are plainly
designed for the public protection. To
waive those provisions on the technical
ground that licenses have not yet been
issued under the new statute is virtually
TO grant a time of grace to lawbreakers

The Income Tax.

As soon as the tariff tjl goes into eff
feet, probably in few days. the people
Of this country will be. subjected, for
the first time in nearly ftty years. to an
income tax. Few persoas living have
ever felt the effect of diftct taxation by
the federal government. I'd thus, despite
the numerous changes in the tariff
schedules which IL is ho,ed may reduce
the cost Of living and .hus bear ma

ately interests the people. of the United

person with an income of $1,000 a year
must pay a tax on $1,000 year. or $40

for the current calendar year.
A married person with an income OF

The only exemptions. indeed, are those
of 5000 in the case of the unmarried

ried person or husband and wife living

With respect to the husband and wife
it is important to note that the joint in
come is computed as a whole. with but
one exemption Of $1,000. That is to say, If
the husbands income is $4,000 and the
wife's income is $500 they must jointly
pay l per cent on $1,000. the amount of
their Joint income over the exemption.
If the income Of the husband is $4,000
and that of the wife is 1000 they must
still pay SO q year tax even though each
is covered by the exemption. This is
individual incomes of husband and wife
to bring the total below the exemption

acting in the collection of minor sums in

from the larger incomes that it Is ex-

No More Coddling of Hazers.

From the New York Tribune.
Secretary Garrison deserves high praise
for his sharp rebuke to the West Point
cadets recently disciplined for hazing.
These cadets followed the good old ex-
ample Of INSTRUMENTATION. which has too
long been the fashion at the Military
Academy. Instead of taking their pun
ishment like good soldiers they wrote
fearful letters home and asked their rela-
tives and friends to bring pressure on
Congress to have their sentences modi-
fed AS head of the military establish
ment Secretary Garrison will stand for no
such nonsense. Every cadet who takes
chances with the anti-hazing law knows
what he Is doing. He deliberately invites
trouble, and when he Is caught he ought
not to whine and call for outside relief.
Congress has been too lenient in the past
In restoring to the academy cadets ex-
PEELED for hazing. 1t Is against the spirit
Of discipline to condone the cowardly
bullying which passes as sport there.
Young men guilty of 1t have not the stuff
Of which officers shoud be made. 1t is
encouraging to see that Secretary Garri-
son does not believe in coddling hazers.

Revenue and Expenditures.

Chairman simmons latest statement
concerning the new tariff contains two
very interesting points. % surplus OF
eighteen million dollars will be produced.
and g, the government will be we'll pro-
vided for
Some weeks ago an estimate given out
fixed the surplus at only two million dol
lars That was drawing the line pretty
fine-too fine. 1t was not advisable TO
leave the matter in that shape. slump
in customs receipts for some unexpected
reason might cause embarrassment.
Never deficit when avodable. The
larger figure makes things safer. There
is a fair leeway in eighteen or twenty
millions.
That the government would be we'll
supported was to be expected. The DEM
otratic party, for all its charges OF
waste against the republican party. would
not dare signalize its return to complete
control by policy of skimp. There is
too much at stake. The governments
needs are too apparent and too pressing
In the eighteen years that have passed
since the democracy controlled both the
presidency and Congress Uncle Sam has
grown considerably, and 1t takes good
big sum now to fit him out properly.
There are democrats-Mr. Bailey OF
Pennsylvania is one-who are on record

ed extravaganza on the republicans so
long and so severely. are in earnest about
applying the pruning knife. But they will
find il difficult If not impossible to bring

forgotten as soon as the campaign ended.
And now they would have Mr.. Bailey
and his friends forget it,
