to put the American people into dull,

just as much in traditions, ideals,

Thus did Mr.. Williams express the

CHAMPION OF STATE
SOVEREIGNTY.

The doctrine of states rights, which
has ever been a matter of vital con-
Germ to the south, has no more stanch
advocate in the United States Senate
than John Shap Williamson Mississippi.
He has been rather quiet of late in the
halls of national legislation, but when
ever he does express himself his words
are fraught with the sentiments of a
statesman and command the consider.
alton which they deserve.
In discussing the question of female
suffrage recently the Mississippi sen
ator opposed federal constitutional
amendment in the premises and ap-
preached his subject upon the broad
principle of local self-government, and
he made his ideas known in Lnmis-
takeable terms.
Mr. Williams declared: But l do not
want you to take Mississippi, pry her
mouth open, and drench her with med
icine of your own preparation. Even
If it is good medicine, even If it is

losing money and town jewellers were
losing money, simply because of lack
of well-built, well-kept highways.
The problem of the high cost of liv-
ing is largely a problem of distribu-
ton and marketing. So soon as direct,
economical means of exchange are
provided, the interests of both the
producer and the consumer will be
greatly advanced.
Good roads are one of the essentials
to this improvement. They will not
only enable farmers to market their
products more easily and cheaply but
they will also encourage production
of foodstuffs. Certainly, they are in
dispensable to the development of
truck farming.
1t is estimated that the cost of
wagon transportation would be cut in
two in the United States, if the coun
try were supplied with adequate roads

THE COST OF BAD ROADS.

The Importance of good roads to the
city consumer as well as the country
producer is strikingly shown in the
following story from Harper's Week
ly 1t seems that a farmer in Sulli-
van county, Tennessee, few miles
from Bristol, had a hundred bushels
of potatoes which he expected to mar
ket during the winter. The roads,
however, were SO bad that he was un-
able to do any hauling; the potatoes
rotted in his cellar. Meanwhile the
price of potatoes in Bristol went up
to a dollar and forty cents a bushel.
In the course of the winter ten car
loads of farm produce, were imported
into Bristol every day from distant
points. Food prices were very high
throughout that section; and, yet,
there was store of foodstuffs ample
to supply the people. Farmers were

New York Evening Post: President
Wilson's message to Congress today
is a miracle of condensation. In less
than 500 words he says all that is
necessary, and does it with a force
and impact that must go deep into the
mind of Congress and the country.
To attempt to REINFORCE the Presi-
dents argument is happily needless.
1t speaks for itself better than any
body can speak for it. What the Pres
ident has done is to make the whole
question look large and national. Be-
fore, to many minds, it had had the
appearance of a squabble. The whole
matter has been lifted into a higher
air. The President leads the country
to larger view We are hailing the
completion of the Panama Canal. Let
us, urges Mr.. Wilson, free our rejoic-
ing from every regret or stain. Best
of all, Mr.. Wilson has put every form
of blatant Jingoism under his feet,
and given US all such a vision of ma
tional honor and the true grandeur of
the nation that we can all echo:
