A Fighter Worth While.

South Mississippi owes a vote Of
thanks to r. L. Simpson, Of Gulf
port, the man who accomplished the
defeat Of the Bailey agricultural land
bill.
To the efforts Of Mr.. Simpson,
who waged the battle almost single
handed. the downfall Of that radical
and iniquitous measure was almost
wholly due.
What is more remarkable still, Mr..
Simpson had no more interest in the
question than that which should
have been cherished by every pro-
gressive Mississippian. Realizing
what the far-reaching effects Of such
drastic law would be, he simply
dropped his personal business af-
fairs, and, alta heavy sacrifice, came
to Jackson to tell the lawmakers
what he thought Of the bill.
Two weeks ago the psssage Of the
Bailey measure seemed practically
certain. Against Overwhelming odds
! Mr.. Simpson planned his campaign
vent to work, and, by conductin:
fair, frank and manly battle in thu
open accomplished its defeat.
Few men have tie nerve to tackl
such an undertaking, and if the peo
! pie Of South Mississippi do not hol
a monster mass meeting and adop
a vote Of thanks to r. L. Simpson
; then they will be exceedingly ur
lqTateful.- Jackson News.

Read Either Way.

The New York Suns "communi-
cation editor" is able to provoke
queer discussions with surprising
results. The most recent example
is the controversy among the Suns
volunteer contributors about palm
dromes. It started with the asser-
ton that there there was but one
sentence in the English language Of
any length at all that reads the same
spelling il backward or forward.
The example cited was the one which
will be remembered from the school
DAYS: "Able was | ere | saw Elba, "
But the contributors to the Sun have
added three, two Of equal length in
the number Of letters and one ma
terially longer. They are:

MODERN BATTLESHIPS.
Comparisons Made For Benefit
OF Average Citizens.

n you were offered the choice
Of command, which woud you take,
a single ship like the modern dread
naught New Yofk. or i10 ships like
the Oregon. the pride Of the Spanish
American War
This was the question recently
put to a gathering Of naval officers
by Col. Robert N. Thompson,
Chairman Of the Executive Com.
mite Of the Navy League Of the
United States.
These officers. practically to a
man, asserted their preference for
the single ship and argued that it
would be able to defeat the 100 in
battle. They cited the fact that he
guns Of the New York had hitting
range Of 1z,0 900 yards at which they
were able to penetrate fourteen-inch
armor. The guns Of the Oregon
had this degree Of penetration at no
more than 5000 yards. Beyond
that distance they would have no
effect on the modern battleshps.
They showed that the Oregon was
able to Init but five times out of i0o
at a distance up to $500 yards while
the New York could bit seventy
time out of 100 at a distance up to
$500 yards. The New York like
wise could fire three times as many
shots from each Of its guns as the
Oregon.
The speed Of the New York is
nearly double that Of the Oregon.
Were she pursued by the 100 ships
she could steam along out Of their
range and pick them off at will.
Were the 100 in flight, the New
York could pursue them and as they
came within 1900 yards or less,
sink them. There would be safe
ty zone Of 1900 yards, oT about five
miles, for the New York in which
she could destroy Oregons with
little danger to herself. No number
Of them should be effective against
her.
Such are the advantages Of the
new ships over the old.

The GUTTER
A Few Words For Those Who
Have Cold feet

The following, taken from an ex-
change. is Of the night sort. and We
commend it to the consideration Of
our readers:
One Of the worst diseases on the
face Of the earth is the aftlIction
generally known as cold feet" Il
is an insitious sort Of distemper md
lis generally aggravated BY standing
on street corners. preaching the gos-
pei Of disoontent and predicting dire
misfortune. A feature Of the disease
is that it generally attacks those who
have generously interested them
selves II other peoples affairs; al
most invariably the disease is more
pronounced among men Who never
possessed anything worth speaking
Of and who have little or no pros
pects for the future. The solid busi-
ness man, the man who is willing to
work for a living, and the employe
who has the interest Of his employer
at heart are immune; they have
been inoculated with the virus Of
common decency, which inspires
them to progress rather than to re-
PROGRESSION and which puts the back
bone in a man, so necessary to his
own welfare and TO the welfare Of
the community in which he resides.
"Cold feet" is disease that is
responsible for a large proportion OF
the troubles Of mankind, and the
fact that it is catching ought to
put it in the same class with diph-
liberia, cholera and yellow jack,
Those who show the slightest symp.
toms should be quarantined and kept
lin immolation until the last vesiagt
Of the disease has disappeared; un
| til courage has come to the rescue
and forced the long-drawn counte
nance back into human shape, unit

Competitors Advertise.

II the relation oi advertising 10 the
public welfare were well understood
NJ IS probable there would b more
advertising and the public would
gain thereby. 'Wha, does the pub
lic care about advertising, whether
there be any or whether there be
none'" IS the question sometimes
asked.
The public has reason 70 care
whether merchants advertise and
how generally advertising is done ia
any city. Advertising means com.
petition. Where there IS no adver-
Using the public has reason 10 be-
heye that there is no competition.
The public has the reason to believe
that the merchants instead Of seek
lng trade on the principle OF the best
quality for the least money. seek
trade on the principle OF an agreed
price. Il may be a greatly excessive
price, but i there is no competition
the public has no recourse.
When a merchant advertises, es.
pecially where he advertiSes prices
IN detail, i is 10 be assumed he
offers competition and that his prices
are as low as be can get them to
make a reasonable profit It is to be
assumed he is an efficient merchant
who watches the cost Of buying and
handing goods; who is experienced
and cannot afford to have leftover
goods; who watches credits and can
not afford to tax cash customers for
losses he suStains from the poor
pay" credit customer. Advertising
at glance reveals such conditions.
Advertising is a good thing for The
efficient merchant. Il is his avenue
Of successful competition. An in
formed public does not need 10 con.
suit the offerings and prices In a
merchants advertisement Of service.
The fact that a merchant advertises
regularly is an assurance that he Is
competing instead Of combining and
the mere name seen and read regu.
larry is a safe sign that the store is
a good place to patronize. Where
there is competition to lower prices
the public gains. Where there is
combination to standardize prices
the public loses. The city whose
papers have no advertisements is
the city whose merchants combine
against the public to destroy COM

Recent Land Classification.

Since the enactment Of the en-
larged-homessead law I'll 100000
acres have been classified by the
United States Geological Survey as
nonIrrigabIe and designated by the
Interior Department as enterable
under this law in 320-acre tracts,
the limit being twice that allowed
under the original homestead law.
During the month Of February
3,512, 200 acres were thus classified
by the Survey and thrown open to
entry by Secretary Lane. The
States most effected were Colorado,
where 1,129.0OO acres were so
designated; Montana, with 1 $50, 900
acres; and Oregon, with about
800 900 acres.

PISTOL MADE HIM FAMOUS.
LaughahIe Incident OF Bygone
Days IN A kentucky Court.

II was not known in Washington
until few days ago when W. 9.

told the story, that the Hon. Angus

in Congress from the second Ken

vigorous campaign for the United

wards fame and congressional hon
ors through his defense OF a man in
his town Of Henderson, KY, when
he was struggling young lawyer
never dreaming at that time Of ma
tional fame. His client was charged
with the heInous offense Of carrying
a concealed weapon, a pistol, and
the evidence was all against him.
Stanley, who is a silver-tongued and

closing plea for his crestfallen client,
