The Administration and the Farmer.
Representing, as do, a district in
which farming is the principal in
dustry, ] have been impressed with
the lack of sympathy manifested by
the present administration TO the
American farmer and all that con-
Germs him vitality. Probably no leg
islation more grossly unjust and
discriminative has ever been placed
on our statute books than the I'm
derwood Tariff Law in its relation
to the interests of the farmer. Some
protection. though inadequate, has
been left to the manufacturer. but
the farmer has been placed on an
absolutely free-trade basis with for
eign countries that possess cheaper
lands. cheaper labor and. i'm some
instances cheaper transportation
rates to our coastwise cities that he
possesses.
When the Glass Currency Bill was
being considered. many of us i'm
portuned the Banking Committee to
include system of rural credits
LEGISLATION in this bill We were
met with the reply that the question
of farm loans was altogether too
great to include in a general curren-
rency bill, but we were assured that
a bill would be drafted satisfactory
to farmers organizations and pass
ed during the present session of
Congress. Nothing has ever been
done to redeem the promise, and no
relief has been afforded the farmer
in the general currency law. In an
unsuccessful effort to lower the cost
of living for the benefit of those liv-
ing in cities, the farmer has been
lea to SHIFT for himself and, as
usual, to bear the burden. He has
been modest in his requests, but ev-
en- these have been ignored. The
treatment accorded him has been un-
warranted and unjust. He will ex-
press his resentment when the op-
portunity offers.-Hon. Sam r. Sells,
CONGRESSMAN from Tennessee.

B|GFEEFOR WINDING
Up AFFAIRS OF BANK
$4,000 Said to Have Been
Paid the Receivers and
Attorneys

Jackson. Miss, January 29.-(Special.)-A
very salty concurrent resolution was Of
fered in the house this morning by Mr..
Cavett of Noxubee county, in which he
demands an investigation of the report
that Chancellor Sam Whitman had al
lowed the receivers and attorneys of the
defunct Union Bank and Trust company
of Meridian a fee of $4,000 for their SER
vices of a few weeks in winding up it's
affairs, and the same was adopted unani-
mously, with orders to the clerk to send
1t at once to the senate for concurrence.
The senate referred the matter to the
judiciary committee.
Mr. Cavett explained that he had under
stood the work of winding up the affairs
of the bank had been done by one little
800 a month clerk, and yet the chan
cellor had allowed $4,000 in one fee which
was one-fourth of the assets of the bank,
thus robbing the widows and orphans out
of their just deserts.
Having whereased at length to the
above effect, the resolution concluded
with:
Resolved by the house of representa-
tives, the senate concurring, that the leg
isative investigating committee be, and

MILLSAPS COLLEGE
DAMAGED BY FIRE

Jackson, Miss, January 29.-(Special)
The chapel and main building of Millsaps
college, located in the northern suburbs
of this city, was completely destroyed by
fire tonight. The building was valued at
$4,000 and was insured for Just half that
amount The cause of the fire is not
known, but is supposed to have originated
from a defective wiring. The fire depart
ment of Jackson responded promptly and
made a record breaking run of more than
one mile, but water plugs were far away,
and the fire fiend soon got In his work
of destruction.
1t is quite coincidence that just one
year ago yesterday one of the largest
dormitories on the campus was almost
totally destroyed by fire, and has recently
been completely rebuilt.

CHILD LABOR LAW
FIGHT AT JACKSON
Mill Owners Desire to Have
Children Work Ten
Hours Daily

Meridian, Miss, January 29-(Special)
The fight in the legislative halls at Jack
son is not warmer than that which Is be-
ing waged in Meridian against the prop
osition, advocated by cotton mill owners
to change the working hours for children
from eight hours day to 10. Organized
labor and "a vast number of citizens are
fighting against the proposed change
while the factory interests say they are
bound to have the change. All of the
operatives at Lauderdale Cotton mills
have signed petition to the legislature
asking that the hours be extended
a strong effort has been made to in
volve the Kings Daughters in the fight
for longer hours, but while a committee
from that body reported that they found
conditions good at the local factory. yet
they refused to sign petition asking that
small children be worked two hours ad-
ditional each day. Opponents of the
change say that it is because of the small
pay and dire necessity that operatives are
willing to have their children worked 10
hours a day.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
AROUND EUFAULA
New Parsonage May be Built for the
Presiding Elder-Aviation Meet
Proposed in Spring

Eufaula, January 29.-(Special)-It is
probable that a new parsonage will be
built here shortly for the Eufaula Meth
odist district to cost in the neighbor-
hood of $500. Either this will be done or
the present parsonage on Barbour street
will be remodeled extensively. The mat
ter has been left in the hands of the trus-
tees of the parsonage proprty by the
stewards of the district
Eufaula may have a spring aviation
meet, if Henry B. Marks of Chicago. rep
representative of an aviation company,
succeeds in reaching an agreement with
the business men and merchants of the
city. The event would likely take place
in April and continue through two days.
1t is probable that the Glenola Cotton
mills, which have been closed down for
several weeks, will resume operations
next week. Numerous repairs have been
made at the plant in the interim.
The Rev. II. c. Threadgil, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal church, is
arranging for great spring revival to
be held at the church sometime in
April.
The Commercial club of the city has pc
titioned the board of revenue once more
to work the road from Eufaula to Baker
Hill, which is in bad state OF repair.

LATE PLANTING NOT
A WEEWL REMEDY
Theory Exploded as Result
of Government Ex-
periments

Washington. January 29.--The theory
that the boil weevil can be controlled
by late planting of cotton better than by
early planting is exploded as the result
of experiments conducted by the bureau
of entomology of the department of ag-
ricuture.
The bureau has conducted many expe-
riments to determine whether late
planted cotton will produce satisfac-
tory crop. The results, IL is said. have
all been negative.
Because advocates of late planting con-
tended that the experiments of the de-
partment had not been conducted on a
sufficiently large scale an unusually
large experiment was conducted In
Louisiana last spring.
THE observations" says the depart
ment, prove in IA very definite way.
that late planted crops are sure to be
injured more severely than crops planted
early

government. He said he had examined
the oath of the mail wagon chauffeurs
union, and had found in 1t nothing that
would tend to weaken their fidelity to
the government.
The oath of allegiance to the govern
ment, he said, should have kept the de-
PENDANTS from interfering with the mail
service. He asked the jury to determine
whether the oath of allegiance had been
violated and reminded them that the
indictment dealt not with acts of OBJ
struction for the mail. but with con-
spiracy on the part of the accused to
carry out such acts.
The government, he added, had OBJ
lection TO labor unions and had no right
to inquire into their motives.

The Holding Company

one of the features of President Will
sons address was his careful reference
| to the holding company. 1t is a device
which did not originate in the United
States. 1t had been found to work well
III other countries yet there was no doubt
In the minds of the people that it did
contain the power to destroy competition
and, to certain extent to establish mo-
nopoly. The intelligent creators of hold
ms companies in this country have al
ways justified corporation apparatus of
this kind by saying that 1t served as a
balance wheel. like the governor upon an
engine, steadying and systematizing all
the parts OF corporation machinery. But
that 1t was utilized sometimes to facili-
tate unfair or even illegal purposes is
generally admitted. Some of our busi-
ness men think that the holding company
has already had it's day, and even If
there were no legislation prohibiting II
would by and by pass away voluntarily.
How intimately the system Is now in
fused into the life OF the larger corpora
tions President Wilson according to opin-
ion expressed here, has already obtained
some information. His cautious recon-
mendation that legislation affecting the
holding company be carefully considered
and that ample opportunities be given
for the dissolution OF these mpanies ia
regarded here as showing that he does

A Sincere Purpose
So also it is said that the President is
manifestly sincere in his desire that leg
islatiom be so framed, If possible, as to
enlighten business men upon the long,
mooted question. What is lawful and
what is unlawful under the Sherman law?
Yet the presumption of business men here
| is that after honest and thorough con-
sideration of this subject Congress can
do no better than to accept the interpre-
tations of the law which were made by
John Sherman upon the floor of the Sem
ate and by his cousin, George F. Hoar,
from his place in the Senate, and In SUBJ
sequent writings ana also the statement
of Senator George f. Edmunds. Each of
these senators who had part-two of them,
Edmunds and Hoar, the chief part-in
drafting this law stated that 1t was meant
simply to embody the principles of the
common law of England, the worlds most
copious font of jurisprudence, into the
statute law of the United States
Under the common law there never has
been difficulty in Great Britain or In those
states of our union where the common
law is still recognized about maintaining
prosecutions against those who were at

Those who are disposed to speak of the
Presidents cautious suggestion that leg
isla ton may be secured which will COM

holder in two competing companies to de-
eide to which company he will give the
support of his stockholders vote. are con-
fident that no legislation of that Kind will
go upon the statute books. They look
upon the proposition as absolutely inn
practicable. even though considerations Of
the constitutional questions which might
arise be not regarded, were legislation of
that kind enacted.
