They have learned better since in

nothing In return. It now proposes

if shall be the only Senator on this
floor of this Chamber, be he Republican
or Democrat, who votes that way.
Now, that is where | stand on this
question. There has been no secrecy
or desire on my part, or on that of any
of my colleagues that am aware of,
to conceal anything that we have done
or say from the whole wide world.
There has been no attempt to bind this
or th,t Senator. There has been no at
tempt by me to control or dictate to
any Senator in the performance of his
great function here. | think that my
colleagues with whom have conferred
in this matter understand this question
just as do. Mr.. President, | am op-
posed upon principle to secret caucus
instruction. think such methods are
subversive ve-destructive of the very
genius-of the vital principles upon
which our Government rests. There is
no form of despotism or tyranny so de-
spicable and undemocratic as binding
by caucus action the minds and con-
sciences of the servants of the people
in the performance of their official
duties. Freedom of action and liberal
ity of thought are the necessary pre-
requisites to writing into the law the
best thoughts and highest purposes of
the serious minded, patriotic represen-
tatives in this body of the sovereign
States If this Republic. l believe in
the patriotism of party organization.
believe in the virtue that results from
cooperative action on the part of men
holding kindred views touching govern
mental matters and moved forward by
common ambition. Legislation wrought
in that way is always helpful, proper,
beneficial. 1t is the ripened fruit of
legitimate and sound mental and spirit
ual process. But when men are driven
-forced--to subordinate their own views
and act under the dictation of others,
who themselves are acting under orders,
we must expect such laws to partake
more of the spirit of monarchy than of
government deriving all Of its just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, whose laws should be at all times
for the protection Of the people.

HARRY HALL|WELL
HELD UP AND ROBBED

Saturday night while returning to his
home on Wood Street, Mr.. Harry Hal
liwell was held up and robbed. The
robbery occurred near Mr.. Halliwell's
home and about ~ O'Clock p. m.
The robber was negro and wore no
mask but owing to tae poor light al the
place he was held up Mr.. Halliwell was
unable to identify the fellow. The
bandit, however, was short, thick
colored man, and apparently stranger
here.
The thief compelled Mr.. Halliwell to
throw up his hands at the point of
single barrel shot gun, and although
complying with his request the robber
was very nervous and kept at quite
distance from his victim and did not
search his pockets.
The thief got nothing for his trouble
and got away from his victim as quickly
as possible.

SENDS 1000 YEARLY
TO MISSISSIPPI FARMS

Settlers are being sent to the farms
Of Mississippi at the rate Of 1000 per
year by the, Illinois Central Railroad,
according to the semiannual report Of
G. B. Harper. assistant industrial and
immigration commissioner of the road.
During the period from July J., 1914,
to Jan. !, 1915, the report shows, the
railroad sent 229 families, or 998 persons
into Mississippi. These families bought
81. SIG acres of land, or an average OF
800 acres to the family.
The report gives the name OF each
farmer sent to Mississippi during the
half year, with the number in each
family, the former address of each,
and the post Office nearest his new
location.
Practically all Of the immigrants came
from the farms of the central west
from Illinois. Missouri. Wisconsin,
Michigan, Kansas and Nebraska. Some
came from Arkansas and Tennessee ano
few fran far-off California.
These farmers are familiar with the
cultivation Of grains and grasses ano
are moving to Mississippi with the In
tention Of raising those crops on land
that heretofore has produced only cot
ton.
This explains in part. Mr.. Harper
says, why Mississippi is coming to the
front SO rapidly as grain producing
state. The newcomers themselves are
planting grains and are showing theii
neighbors how to grow other crops thar
cotton.
Che fact that central west farmers
are coming south does not mean that
they have failed as farmers in the north,
Mr.. Harper says. Many of the immi
| grants are farmers who sold rich lands
In the north at fancy prices and en-
larged their holdings in Mississippi
lands.
Mr.. Harper says the average price
paid for land in Mississippi by the new
comers is SIS per acre. Some pay al
high as SIS. but majority buy cheaper
lands as an investment.

PLY HER OWN CORN

Mississippi this year will produce l0O,-
OOO, 900 bushels of corn, or an amount
equal to the states usual consumption,
If normal weather prevails. according
to the estimate of G. B. Harper, assist
ant industrial and immigration com
missioner of tie Illinois Central Rail-
road.
Mr.. Harper reports that farmers
everywhere are preparing the soil for
spring oats and corn. There never has
been time he said, when so much
spring oats was being sown in this
state.
mississippi is coming to the front as
a corn state" Mr.. Harper said. "ln
1911 the corn production in Mississippi
was %. 600, 900 bushels. In 1918 the
corn production was 100000 Last
year the state produced $4,000, 900
bushels in the face of long drouth and
other unfavorable weather conditions.
.'This year the acreage will be in
creased considerably and the farmers
will gather more corn to the acre tn n
ever before. Mississippi annually con-
sumes 100, 600, 600 bushels of corn, and
if weather conditions are anything near
normal the state will supply its own
demand.
Farmers in Mississippi are gather
ing 2O.5 bushels of corn to the acre.
This year l believe the yield will be
fully up to the United States estimates
of Is bushels.
"Since 1911 the farmers in Mississip-
pi each year are exercising more care
in the selection Cf seed and are paying
more attention to scientific methods OF
production. The negroes are watching
the white farmers and show evidence
of making good farmers in grains as
well as cotton.
"Corn is being cold by the farmers
right at their homes at 80 cents a
bushel. On that basis each acre yields
SIG. If the production is increased to
Is bushels to the acre the farmers will
realize $40 an acre."
Just now Mr.. Harper says, the farm.
ers of Mississippi are giving their at
tention to spring oats. The acreage o1
this crop will be increased and in the
summer when the oats are harvested
peas and the hay crops will be planted
The Illinois Central Railroad, through
its industrial department and demon
atration farms. has done much to assis
Mississippi farmers and to prove thu
pxoductiveness Of the soil for all crops.

GERMANS COMPLETELY

OuWalK1, fOlano, Feb. 3.-Ihe Ger

to bring off a few guns, succeeded n

had not been touched.
The wings of the German army closed
to the east of Suwalki and Augustowo
only few hours too late to catch the
entire army. Most of the units of the
Russian forces were caught, however,
in natural defense swamps which aided
the Russian retreat.
This defeat of the Russian northern
army may be compared to gigantic
rabbit drive in which men were the
prey. The battle to the south was
fought in driving snowstorm. The
advancing Germans could scarcely see.
When they came to grips with the Rus
slans they found their rifles so covered
with ice and the muzzles SO checked
with snow that they could not fire the
weapons. They were left only the bay
onets, but remained at the task despite
heavy losses.
