PRESIDENTS PROGRAM TO BE
REST AND RECREATION
(By Associated Press. J

Pass Christian. Miss. Dee. 2G.-
President Wilson has mapped out a
program of rest and recreation during
MS vacation here. He will sleep nine
hours each night, indulge in golf in
the mornings, clear up his correspond
ence at noon, and later in the day
will auto with his family. He will
spend his evenings in reading, there
by hoping to regain his usual rugged
health.
Two important matters, however,
will occupy the presidents mind.
These are the selection of the per
sonnel OF the federal reserve board
and the writing OF a special address
to congress, dealing with the regula-
ton of the trusts
In selecting the federal reserve
board it is believed that he will en-
plOy the sitting process which he used
in selecting his cabinet. II is thought
that there will not be any nomina-
tions made until the sixty days, al
lowed by law, have about expired.
In drafting his address it is thought
that the president will lay stress on
the increasing desire of business men
to re-organize their concerns in con
formity with the Sherman law. \

A special from Philadelphia says
that Countess Santa Eulaha, formerly
Mrs. John b. Stetson, her husband,
the count, and her son, G. Henry Stet-
son. were so indignant at the story
told recently by NJ. Blair Coan, an in
vestigator, that he had been employ
ed to sound government officials at
Washington in regard to their atti-
tude toward a probable revolution to
set the count and countess upon the
throne of Portugal, that they not only
issued formal statements in denial of
the story, but caused a warrant to be
issued by Magistrate Harris. charging
Coan with criminal libel. The count
ess said of the story: 1T is absolutely
and unqualifiedly false that l or any
member of my family is engaged in
furthering any political plot or revolu-
tion in Portugal. The story to that
effect is a cruel, wilful and malicious
lie The author of it is a person un-
known to me, but I have caused a
warrant for his arrest to be issued,
and he will be prosecuted criminally."

OUR MuLTITuDINous LAWS

This paper has frequently quoted
good old Horace Greeley as saying
that the world is governed too
much.
AS "muchly" as it is governed it is
destined to be governed more and
more, for the volumes OF laws pile up
after each session of congress, and the
adjournment OF the legislatures OF our
forty-five states, and at the weekly
and monthly meetings of the councils
of our several thousand cities.
To say nothing Of our multitudinous
ordinances covering every phase Of
crime and imaginary crime, from spit
ting on the sidewalk 10 theft, the
Tampa Times reprints from the New
Orleans Picayune a computation OF
our state and national laws
That paper says
"A computation recently made
shows that the free citizens of this
great republic are the most law-bur-
dened people in the world. 1t is
shown that the congress of the Unit
ed States in the last fourteen years
has created 1880 laws, and the num-
ber does not include the enactment of
the recent special session. In the
two years, from 1906 to 1908, the leg

AND "PROGRESSIVE"

There is hanging in our composing
room a big picture of Senator Fletch-,

"straightout" faction of Jacksonville,
and candidate for mayor. Those be-
hind him at that time were Napoleon

host of others. There is no question
as to where the senator then stood,
and, as for that matter, where he now
stands.

that Americans did not want them.
This mistake of ours was strength
