Issues Involved.

To those. whether Republicans
or Roosevelt Republicans of two years
age, who believe that ii is better TO
keep two divisions alive than to es-
tabish and maintain the principles
which both endorse, it is entirely con-
sistent to keep up the division in the
present campaign. And their attitude is
important only as their reasons are
good or bad, selfish or unselfish, con-
structive or destructive. To those who
believe that principles which they en-
dorse are worthy of united support;
that the right as they see it should
prevail; that the greatest good of the
greatest number should be the object
of all government, there naturally
comes the query, what issues are in
volved in this election and where is
the dividing line. If the individual
voter owes the State any duty, surely
to see that his ballot is cast SO that
it means something is not the least.
He canont fail to do this without some
satisfactory reason. And he has per-
sonal right to judge its sufficiency.

Tariff Protectionists.

If Maine industries should enjoy a
protective tariff, how can it best be
secured? Not by voting with the DEM
ocratic party, because that party is
opposed to all protection in theory, and
as at present constituted to protec-
ton in this part of the country in
practice. The manufacturer, the mer-
chant, the mechanic, the laborer who
is a protectionfst in principle cannot
consistently turn TO Democracy. He
has seen his theory of government Sc
riously assaulted. He may expect fur
Their experience of the same KIND IL
he does not show that he dislikes 1t,
because the national Democracy de-
nounces all protection as unconstitu-
tional and promises to go slowly only
TO avoid too violent immediate results
to business conditions. If they find
that they can win the favor of free
trade sections without rebuke from
protectionists, you can easily see what
the future has in store.
They cannot expect practical re-
suits from the new party for several
reasons In the first place, while it is
protectionist in so far as it has drawn
from real Republicans, It's leaders have
kept this doctrine in the background
in order to draw also from Democ-
racy.
Another reason why no protection
list should go to the new party is that
it's own leaders do not expect TO ac-
complish anything except the further
humiliation Of the Republican party.
They do not expect to do anything Of
practical value for him who 10 inter-
ested only In tho SUCCESS Of that doc
trine In which he honestly believes.

TOAD i VALUABLE SERVANT
its Uses In the World Have Not Been
Accorded the Recognition II
Has Long Deserved.

Few well-meaning creatures have
been more thoroughly misunderstood
than the homely, meditative and re-
firing toad.
Formerly the toad was considered a
venomous reptile, but in u day its
habits have been more carefully OBJ
served and Its great value to the
p%romologist and gardener has been
fully established on account OF its
propensity for destroying insects.
We should, therefore, cultivate the
friendship and assistance Of the in
sectivorous reptiles, including the
striped snake, as well as that OF
birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach. mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated toads
would keep the coast clear OF these
and would be found more desirable
than a cat, as they are wholly free
from tfespasslng on the rights OF man
as does the cat. The toad Is pos
sessed of a timid and retiring nature.
loving dark corners and shady places,
but under kind treatment becoming
quite tame.
Many instances might be cited OF
pet toads remaining several years In
a family and doing most valuable
service with no other compensation
than that of immunity from persecu-
ton.
In Europe toads are carried to tho
cities to market and are purchased BY
the horticulturists, who by their aid
are enabled to keep In check the null
t~iplication Of the insect tribes which
prey upon their fruits, flowers, etc.

Prepare for Bond sale.

Gov. Brewer stated mat he would,
during the next few days. take up the
matter Of selling the S~l.250.0O0 bond
issue authorized ny the legisla nre OF
1914. TIE first step necessary will
be TO prepare the required advertise
ment in such newspapers as he may
deem proper and sufficient, for a pc
Rod OF not less than thirty days. Mean
while, arrangements will be made for
the practical part OF the undertaking,
including printing and lithographing.
II he is successful, as he hopes to be,
he hopes to have the bonds marketed,
or such portion as may be necessary
at the time, by the latter part OF May
or early in June.
The governor also stated that he
will call a meeting OF the commission
authorized by the legislature to take
charge of the necessary arrangements
for preparing for the representation
of Mississippi at the two big Panama
expositions to be held during 1915. The
resolution of the legislature authorized
the appointment Of a commission to be
composed of three men, one to be Sc.
lected by the governor. one by the
acknowledgements. and n by the
speaker of the house, to take such
steps as in their discretion and judg.
ment might be necessary to secure
funds and exhibits. So far two mem.
bers OF this commission have been
named. Gov. Brewer has designated
lsham Evans of West Point as his
nominee to represent the New Orleans
Exposition OF Big Ideas, and Frank II.
Lewis of Pascagoula for the Panama.
Pacific Exposition. Speaker Quin has
agreed to the same two, with the diff
ference that he ~designates Mr.. Evans
as his sponsor for the Frisco EXPOSE
ton and Mr.. Lewis for the New Or
leans enterprise. SO far as known,
Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo has not announced
his selection; il SO, Gov. Brewer has
not been advised.
The governor has written Messrs.
Evans and Lewis asking them 10 meet
in the governors Office here. when it
Is hoped organization may be per.

School Teachers Plan Meeting.

State Superintendent of Education
J. N. Powers returned from Louisville.
where he has been attending the con.
ference for education In the South.
He Is very enthusiastic over the great
gathering of educators in Louisville.
More than a hundred professors and
teachers from various points in this
state attended the event.
The great convention so deeply i'm
pressed the state superintendent Of
education that he Is seriously contem-
plating advocating a great convention
for Jackson during the summer, when
farmers, educators and business men
can get together and discuss the prob
lens Of the state, including such i'm
portant questions as rural credits and
market extensions for farm products.
Prof. Powers believes that such a
gathering would result In untold ben
eft to the farmers, educators and bus
mess men in general. He believes an
intelligent discussion Of the problems
to be solved by men who have given
them close study will prove OF meal
culable benefit, and thinks the plan to
hold such a convention Is feasible and
will be encouraged. He has not mapped
out the details of his scheme. but Is
giving 1t careful thought. and before
long may issue a call for such a con
vention.

ture at it's reject session again imposed
an automobile tax, and that settlement
must be made with the sheriff Of the

cents per horse power is imposed for

preparation to maintain a camp in the
Vicksburg national malitary park dur
ing the peace jubilee next year that

A few days & Governor Brewer
wrote every senator and representa-

matter, and without exception they
have replied that they will do all In
their power to have such a bill passed
by the national congress.
The letter written to the members
of the Mississippi delegation in con-
gress is as follows:
Jackson, Miss, April s, 1914.
BY authority of the state legislature,
Mississippi proposes to commemorate
the fiftieth anniversary of the return
Of peace to our beloved country by a
general reunion of veterans.
Now, therefore, as a condition prece-

cordial invitation to all veterans of the
Civil War, Union and Confederate, to
attend and participate in the cere-
monies and exercises Of the states
proposed national peace celebration
and reunion, to be held on the Vicks-
burg battlefield, in October, 1915, |,
Earl Brewer, governor, do hereby me-
morialize the congress of the United
States to appropriate a sum sufficient
in amount to provide in a camp on the
Vicksburg national military park all
needed comforts and conveniences for
the veterans who then and there come
together in reunion on Mississippi's in
vitation.

HYaIenIc salts for the Bath.

A physician who believes In baths
as a tonic advises the use OF EPSON
or Carlsbad ALPHABETICALLY the for
mer-for a general inauguration. They
should be used not more than twice .
week.
Take one ounce Of the salts to a
pint OF warm water for a sponge bath
For a large tub bath use a pint OF
salts to a tub OF warm water.
Purchase the salts at a Wholesale
drug house. The usual price in guam
titles is four cents a pound. This
salt water makes an excellent tonic
and carries off many impurities
through the pores of the skin.
