For more than a half century re-

ALARM THE Speaker went on, Nov
the boot is on the other foot. At the
present juncture Democrats point
with pride and alack! and alas! Re
publicans view with alarm They
were foreordained and predestined to
dwell in the cave of Adullam.
These complaints divide themselves
into two classes; First, those who
with countenances sorrowful that
of the Knight de La Mancha, but with
glee in their ouls and hope in their
hearts vociferate, purely for political
effect, that the country is going to
The Demnition Bow vows In their
case the wish is father to the thought.
There are not many such un-American
residents in this country so favored
by Almighty God. But the few malig-
nants are unfortunately among the
noisiest of mankind. The second class
suffering from the mulagrubs, is much
larger, consisting of honest, but timid
perons forever seeing ghosts, who in
fat years look forward fearfully to
possible lean years, and who are
greatly worried by the lamentations
of the Cassandras and marplots afore-
mentioned. These two classes keep
up howl that the country is going to
the dogs and scare people out of Their
wits, thereby retarding progress.
I'VE are proud Of our record in the
SD congress. OF course, there are
those who carp and criticise and
growl. God must have made pessi-
mists for some wise purpose, but
their pestiferous existence demon
strates once more that God moves in
mysterious way His wonders to
perform.
Prior. to the time when we had the
opportunity of doing things it was
constantly asserted that we are ruin
ing the country by doing too much.
Certainly, some folks are hard to
please"

lis a European; two thousand years
and more he has lived where he now
lives-in the fastness of Epirus and
Illyria across the Adriatic from Italys
heel Early in the nineteenth century
the Albianians mingled with their
southern neighbors, the Greeks, and
were the backbone of the struggle for
Greek independence. During the 125
years previous to the discovery Of
America, the proud republic of Venice
held a benevolent supremacy over
the Albanian coast towns, and thus for
a century retarded the day OF Turkish
dominion. In 1873, the Turks began
their overlordship-fou centuries OF
chicanery, broken faith and cruelty"
Following the last successful war Of
the Balkan lands with the Ottoman,
Albania received Independent state
hood. Yet the Albanians have been
ill-trained for the task of making
nation. Education is their great need,
according to Mr.. Damon, who points
out that the waves and impulses OF
easI 20 he Al
bantam through all his history. For a
number of years, he continues, all
classes of the people-Moslem and
Christian alike-have had a passion
ate desire for national education, but,
as long as he ruled the Turk TO-. ght
this desire with all the emans of
despot.
Today the Albanian is the most pic
turesque personality in Europe, the
writer says. He still practices the
vendetta, and now, as in the past, one
in five of the male mountaineers falls
a sacrifice to the blood feud. To strike
person, even inadvertently, is mat
ter for blood revenge. If the offender
himself is not killed, one of his rela-
tives must be the victim, and thus the
endless chain is begun. The vendetta
may be finally bought or called off,
Mr.. Damon says, according to picYis-
ions of an intricate, unwritten Alban-
ian code.
A strong national consciousness has
awakened among these people as
among all of the Balkan peoples, and
the Albanian breads the future, M.
/ Damon concludes, because he fears
that his neighbors may succeed in di-
viding his lands as the vultures appor-
ton among themselves the body of the
thirst-weakened desert victim.

ALBAN' A FEARS

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 49,
The invasion of Servia few days ago
by certain Albanian troops brings that
misunderstood little country back upon
the map of present-moment human in

souring for four hundred years. The
people of Albania have been oppress-
ed by the Ottomans, and, yet, they
have been loath to fight these masters
lest they fall booty to the ambitions Of
Italy, Austria or Serbia. The Alban-
ian feels he has no cause to love or
trust his neighbors. His peculiarities
and his problems are pithily explained
to Americans by Theron ]. Damon in a

Speaker Clark, addressing the Friend

1T is no exaggeration to say that he

the Speaker.
At length Speaker Clark reviewed
the work of the Democratic Congress
which, he said, had teen accomplish

lican and progressive votes and pre-
dicted that any political party could
not carry ten states on the repeal Of
the income tax. He declared the
country was rapiuly recovering llOlii

all federal, state, county and munich

When the democrats came into
possession of the House, the Senate
and the Presidency on March 4, 1913
after sixteen years of entire exclusion
from power, we had a colossal task
ahead of us. Looking the whole world
in the face, we can truthfully and
without fear of successful contradict

wisely and periodically accomplished
the major portion of that stupendous
undertaking.

LOUISIANA VS.. MiLLSAPS.

Jackson, Miss, April 9.-The fast
baseball team of the Louisiana State
University, of Baton Rouge, La, ar
rived here today and is having bat
tie with the Millsaps college aggrega-
ton at League Park this afternoon.
The team comes here with an unbrok-

ton of their defeat at the hands of
the Detroit Tigers several weeks ago,
and in that fray the collegians sue
ceeded in putting five men across the

NEW SHRIMP CATCHER.

Gulfport, Miss, April g. - A new
industry was developed here during
the past few days by the introduction
of a device for catching shrimp from
power boats.
The Dixie and Marquiat owned by
the Campeachie Fish Company and the
Lloyd d. by Captain Dunton, were
equipped with the device in question
which is in the nature of drag net
and for days averaged catches of five
barrels of the sea product, which were
taken to the Campeche Fish Company
and shipped to the interior.
The apparatus is covered by a patent
owned by the captain of the power
boat Jessie, and he is paid royalty
for the use of it.
One feature about the drag that
gives it superiority over the ordinary
sein is that it may be used in deep
water. In fact, nearly all of the catches
of shrimp referred to above were made
in the Gulfport channel.

sTENNis OUT OF RACE.

Jackson, Miss, April 9-The process
of elimination in Mlssissippi's race
for the Goyernorship has started rath-
er early. John d. Stennis, of Lauder
dale county, who tossed his hat into
the ring several months ago, an
nounces his withdrawal from the con-
test, stating frankly that he does not
believe he could win in the contest,
and would therefore be making a
heavy expenditure of time and money
without any corresponding benefit.
Mr.. Stennis does not say who he
thinks will win, and his withdra wal
leaves Lauderdale county a free field
for the other aspirants
Mr.. Stennis has been for the past
twelve years chairman of the ways
and means committee of the lower
house of the legislature, and perhaps
knows more about the details of the
states finances than any man in the
commonwealth. Many of his friends
are urging him to again become a
candidate for the legislature, but he
says that he is out of the political
game, for the present, at least.

money and benevolent purpose wants
to give the kiddies of Jackson a great
deal of pleasure, here is his opportun-
ity.

out in Arizona for s1SS.20. including
express charges to Jackson.
The big birds have been priced to
Commissioner Taylor at $40 each, and
the remainder of the sum will be re-
CURED to pay their transportation.
Two ostriches would be big fea-
ture for the zoo, and give the children
of the state whole lot of pleasure.
They could thrive in this climate, and
Commissioner Taylor is anxious to
make the purchase If the money can
be raised.
