The hearing of the now famous in.
junction suit of the Gulf G. Ship Island
Railroad Company VS.. The Mississip-
pi Home Telephone Company and Pos
tai Telegraph Company, was begun
before Judge j. Morgan Stevens at
1870 this afternoon in the offices of
Tally & Mayson in the Hill building.
This suit grows out of the act of
the Postal Telegraph Company in
stringing its telegraph line from Jack
son to Hattiesburg, right which the
G. & S. l. R. R. denies that they pos
sessed.

Washington, April 8.-President
Woodrow Wilson today read his first
message to the Sixty-third Congress,
convened in extraordinary session. 1t
was an unusually brief document, deal
ing exclusively with the need for a
thorough, moderate, and well-cons1d-
cred revision of the tariff. The Presl-
dent drew attention to the necessity
for an early reform in the banking and
currency laws, but refrained, he said,
from urging, for the present, any 9TH
er legislation that might divert the
energies of Congress from its clearly
defined duty" toward the tariff ques-
ton.
The message referred to no particu
lar schedule, mentioned no rates, and
included no statistics. 1t was an
enunciation of the Presidents princ1-
pies on tariff revision. His specific
views and ideas as to rates and duties
it has been generally accepted, will
be continued in the tariff bill itseli
which he is now considering in detail
The Presidents decision to put the
weight of the administrations influ
ence behind the bill with its various
schedules as drawn by the House ways
and Means committee caused him u
omit specific reference to tariff rates
until the measure was finally agreed
upon in the opening days of the pres
ent session.
The message urged that specia
privilege and exemptions from com
petition be cut out of the nations tar
iff system and that the revision b.
made Ito square with the facts a
they are" At the outset, the Pres
dent called attention to the party
pledge for tariff reduction.

sooner we shall escape from suffering
from the facts and the sooner our men
of business will be free to thrive by
the law of nature (the nature of free

legislation and artificial arrangement.
Legislation Has Wandered Afield.
We have seen tariff legislation wan
der very far afield in our day-very
far indeed from the field in which our
prosperity might have had a normal
growth and stimulation. No one who
looks the facts squarely in the face
or knows anything that lies beneath
the surface of action can fail to per-
ceive the principles upon which recent
tariff legislation has been based. We
long ago passed beyond the modest
notion of protecting" the industries
of the country and moved boldly for
ward to the idea that they were en-
titled to the direct patronage of the
Government For a long time
time so long that the men now &C
tive in public policy hardly remember

thought that they needed in order tC

PROF. KYLE LECTURES
IN HOUSTON
Discussed Progress Made In Farming
as a Result Of Scientific
Teaching.

Some OF the work already accom-
plished by agricultural and mechan-
ical< colleges" said Prof. E. j. Kyle,
dean of the agricultural department
Of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, to the class in agriculture at
the Y. NJ. c. A. last night, may be
deduced from the fact that members
of the boys corn clubs last year raised
practically three times as much corn
per acre as did their fathers. This
has had a tendency to also make a
better farmer of the father, as he, too.
has made experiments that he would
not otherwise have made"
Professor Kyle spoke on the great
awakening that seems to be coming in
agriculture He told OF the great prog.
ress that has come since the founding
I
of the A. and NJ. College. At first there
was little interest in the work of the
college, but when comparisons were
made between the production of soil
in the United States and in the older
countries of Europe the farmers began
to realiez that something was wrong
with the methods of farming in this
country.
The yields of lands in Germany are
greater than in this country, and this
is not due to poorer soil here, but to
poorer systems of soil conservation.
Professor Kyle said that the farmers
of this country have been eating and
selling the plant food in the soil, and
have not put any food back in the
soil to replace that taken out.
In former years the children were
not taught any of the needs of produc-
ton. Today in nearly all of the schools
farming comes in for study as well.
1t is through this teaching, thinks
Professor Kyle, that the country must
hope for improvement.-Houston

I desire to call the attention of our
business men to the city ordinance
which permits them to occupy two
and one-half feet next to their store
fronts for the display OF their wares.
If they prefer two and one-half feet
next to the outer edge of the sidewalk,
they can do SO, but not both.
They are also allowed space for the
trash can, and on the black and side
streets space for a coal box. The bal
ance of the sidewalks in front, sides
and rear of the stores, must be left
unobstructed. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
