THE NEW NICkLE

Some time ago the govern ment issued a batch of new nlckles, common looking things. with big buffalo on the reverse side. They say they Will nDt accept them at the Wrangell pOstOffice under any circumstances. But that is another story.

 1913, which have had power ful influence on the trend of affairs. These have appeared in every walk of life. In polit- ical life it has manifested it. self in a revolution, which has already greatly modified the tariff and currency, and intro duced the income tax.
 "When this letter shall have appeared the year 1913 will have passed among the dead ones. And what year it has been! It recorded the passage of the Webb-Keynon law, the first Federal law seeking to regulate thetraffic in liquor ever put on the statute books: it saw. Tennessee practically lost to the trade, and Arkan- sas in the same attitude, with Iowa seeking a more stringent enforcement of intolerant leg islation and the wiping out of hundreds of retailers in Ohio. At the very finish of the year We see President Wilson mem oralized to urge Congress to pass law seeking to put pro- hlbltion in the constitution. All of these are significant and menacing. It is useless to close ones eyS to the situation. What ever may be said of the bb-kenyon law it is a bad one for the trade because of the possibilities under that law Whatever may be thought of the action of those who have besought the President to urge constitutional prohibition, the fact remains that agitation is now directed toward Washing ion, and who can calculate the dire results of such an issue?
 However, 1 did not start out to be pessimist, and there is no use in borrowing trouble. The immediate present and the immediate future are at hand. and it is .brobably best to take stock of what is before our eyes. That is the evidence that the year just closing is not up to last year in point of business done. whether it be dlstiller, wholesaler, jobber or broker. There are individual exceptions to this of course, but when looking at the trade as whole in all it's depart ments the statement is true. This is due to many things. not the least of which are the conditions enumerated in the first paragraph of this letter."

The little paper fastener that holds together a number of loose sheets is more than 2,000 years old Such device was used by the Ro- man soldiers of that era as an inols dental of their costumes of uni form. The belt of thin copper worn by the ancient legions was fastened to strip of cloth, serving as Il lin- ing, with series of little bronze clasps precisely like in principle the paper fastener of today.

The Pendulum,

It is perfectly true that Calico dis covered the true or isochronal proper ty of the pendulum in 1639, and also that the philosophical Huyghens in 1858 wrote a learned treatise apply ing the principle to clocks. But an Englishman, John Harris, invented and made 8 pendulum clock in 1641 in London. Barlow, q London clock maker, invented the striking part in 1676, and in 1915 George Graham ap- piled mercury to the pendulum to compensate against varying tempera- lures.

SCHOOL NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS.

During vacation time the trustees of the pub
lie schools will have ample time to consider in
augurating many improvements at Franklin Aca-
DENY. Among other things may we hope that
they will arrange with some one to serve light
lunches at the noon recess Either have something
on the grounds for the children to eat or extend
the recess long enough for them to go home eat
and digest their meals. What good will an educa.
tion do set of dyspeptics and that is what we are
making under the present conditions when only
40 minutes are given for lunch Many of the
children walk seven or eight blocks, eat and
run back, others go to the soda fount and drink
what more may We expect than for our children
to Lave Indigestion
Another thing to be regretted is the many
flights of steps to be climbed every day. One OF
the prominent physicians who was here in attend
ance upon the Mississippi Medical Association said
he thought it was very injurious for girls to climt
| so many steps so often each day. The only rem
edy for this we can offer is new High Schoo
building. Perhaps the trustees may see their
way clear to vote bonds to erect new schoo
building with elevators and other modern con

ton program for legislation 90 this session Of cone
gress.
Il. is hardly probable that this measure viii be
acted on by the House at this session. With the
canal tolls measure, the antitrust proposition and
the Mexican situation for consideration. all big and
complicated matters in themselves, doubtless the
House will not take up any additional legislation
that would preeipitate more or less voluminOus de-
bate and introduce more or less political compli.
cations
Sooner or later. however. both houses of con-
gress will have to deal with this liquor proposition
which has already become one Of the great nation
al questions because it so largely affects directly
or indirectly the material as we'll as the moral and
social interests of the people. Efforts may be
made by many members of congress to sidestep or
delay consideration of this question; but they can
not evade it indefinitely, 1t must be considered
and acted upon as practical proposition the prop
er solution of which means greater national prog
ress and prosperity through the elimination, or at
least the material reduction of frightful national
blight
1t may be several years before congress will
take steps to suppress the dreadful liquor evil; but
it will come as an effective move for increased
constructive and productive capacity as well as
for the promotion of higher standards of citizen
ship and improved moral physical and intellectual

Suffrage association replies that already there

GAMBLER FOR REELECTION.
her declining years,

In this issue OF the Commercial will be found
the announcement of Hon Ezekiel S. Gambler. Jr
for reelection to congress- For fourteen years
Mr. Gambler has represented the people of this
district and has given entire satisfaction
Mr. Cander's familiarity with the large pub
lie problems of the day. coupled with his broad ex-
perience makes him especially fitted to represent
the people of this section. He has been criticized
by many for not having accomplished more in
making the Tombigbee river navigabe, but those
in position to know say that he has done as much
if not more than any other man could have done
under the Republican administration. Now that
Ter believes that he can secure sufficient funds to
make the Tombigbee everything that the people
would have it,
No better answer could be made the critics of
Mr.. Candler's record on the Tombigbee river pro.
ject than to quote the following excerpt from a
letter of our distinguished President of the Tom.
bigbee River Improvement Association, Col. John
p. Mayo:
"A very material factor has been the unchang.
ing loyalty, untiring effort and intelligent devotion
with which Hon. E. S. Gambler, Jr has followed
this work, With no ambition higher than to see
the Improvement of the Tombigbee attained. with
no hope hoer than to look upon this work of his
heart, complete, he has by singleness of purpose
made crooked paths straight and smoothed the
difficult ways of diplomacy for We laymen"
Mr.. Gambler is gifted orator. and he is noted
for his energy and public spirit, and this together
with genial nature makes him friends wherever
he is known.

That brings my own so near to me;
For though never more may frame
Upon my lips that hallowed name,
To any who will draw me near.
And answer me with warm caress,
As long as there are mothers here
No one can be quite motherless."
Today we wear a white flower in memory of
mother. To Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, be-
longs the honor of inaugurating Mothers Day"
1t is beautiful custom,and is universally observed
throughout the United States. Thoughts of mother
can not fail to arouse emotions that make for bet
ter living among all classes. Think of mother
who would go further and forgive oftener than
any other one on earth. When the world mstrusts
and leaves you to shame and disgrace, she will
follow you with her love and her prayers. she
will encourage and show you the bright side until
you almost forget you are disfgured by SIN. Let
every one whose mother is dead honor her memory
by living the day as she would have you live it.
If mother is living love her next to God and cheer
her declining years.
