THE W.AYT0 WIN

Owing to the misplacing Of the lclosinel
paragraph in the makeup of last weeks
paper the following splendid advice on s.HowI
to Win IS published again this week:
a young man from the country on po-I
ing to 2 great city asked q noted editor how
he could win fame and fortune and received
the following excellent reply:
First, get rid Of all excelsior nom
sense, stay down below and let the glaciers
and mountain peaks take care of themselves.
Second, do you work well, no matter
what it IS. Study your business. Make
yourself master Of Thy putting your head
and heart into it. # it is bookkeeping,
then keep books in such a fashion that the
Angel Gabriel will want to lend you his
crown as a token of approval. If you are a
mechanic, a~rteslan, or farmer, be proud of
yourself and the rest of the world will soon
be proud of you. Nothing is needed so
much IN this generation as a man with
skilled fingers. You may have a long pull,
but the clock will strike an unexpected hour
and the opportunity-which comes to every
body in turn, but which most people miss
will present itself. Study the bulldog and
when you get your teeth in a big thing let
them stay there.
3'Third, save money. The coward runs
in debt, the brave man has a five dollar sur
plus in his pocket. The world may laugh at
you because you can't have a f~our-in-hand
necktie. All right, let it laugh. You are
your own world and the people who sneer
are simply outside barbarians. When they
see that five dollar bill growing bigger they
will all want to shake hands with you and
send you to congress. Keep well within
your income and you will save yourself from
skulking around the corner like a kicked dog
when the dun is on your track. The handl-
est thing IN the planet is the penny laid up
for a rainy day.
Nov, young sir, get rid Of the non
sense that you are a genius, settle down to
the conclusion that you are just an average
boy and then start in. Keep yourself alert,
look after your digestive apparatus, don't
smoke cigarettes, get to bed early, be
square-toed in all your dealings, and we
will wager a cookie that at sixty you will
have to look backward for those who began
the race you did. Are you ready? Then go"

MORE SENATORIAL LOGIC IN
BILBO'S TRIUMPH.

The following interesting spec
ulation upon the above feature of
primary results is quoted from
the Clarion-Ledger:
I'm 1916 there will be an cleo
ton for United States senator, to
select a successor to John Sharp
Williams, when either he or some
one else will be chosen. For a
while the impression prevailed
that Bilbo would be his principal
opponent, but the news is now
given out by close friends of the
Governor-elect that he will not
oppose Williams, %preferring to
serve out his term as Governor,
he having minated that was his

Williams term expires March &,
1917, but the election to name his
successor will take place the year
before.
1T is also given out and being
handed around by close friends of
Bilbo that while he will not run
against Williams that he is making
no promises not to SHE his castor
in the ring and enter the race
against Vardaman for United
States senator in 1918. In fact,
the impression is growing that
Bilbo will measure lances with
Vardaman for United States sem
ator, having similar ambition to
that gentleman, to serve the peo-
pie of Mississippi both as Govern
or and United States senator; but
we will know more of that in the
future"

LETTER FROM GOVERNOR PHILIP.

Dear DR.. Gossom:-It was quite a sur
prise and certainly a great pleasure to be
favored with a letter from you. have not
heard from you for so many years that it
was like receiving a message from a dead
friend.
In the midst of a thousand and one
things that perplex a Governor, your friend
" note carried me suddenly back to familiar
scenes and to acquaintance | should like to
see again.
BY all means, send your boy up to call
on me when he comes to Chicago.
Very truly yours,
Governor Phillip is pleasantly remem-
bered in Greenwood by a host Of friends
made here while he had charge of the ex-
tensive barrel stave and lumber plant at
Phillip, T%allahatchie county-the town of
Phillip being named in his honor. He was
always a genial good fellow and possesses
splendid business qualifications, and we are
confident that he is making Wisconsin one
of the best Governors the State has ever
had. The editor Of The Commonwealth,
though rather late in doing 50, congratulates
him upon his success in politics.

MARKET COTTON LOWLY

We must act wisely but quickly if we are to
protect ourselves from the danger of disaster in
marketing the 1915 cotton crop. The importance
Of cooperation should not for a moment be for
gotten. With Europe engaged in war, the lead
ing cotton manufacturing countries try to enforce
a blockade, we are confronted with a peculiar
situation. But there is no reason why we should
sacrifice the cotton crop or even a part of it be-
cause or this situation. It will be necessary for
our people to get together, arrange to finance
the crop, store in warehouses and sell when
prices justify, says the New Orleans Item Farmer.
We are in much better condition for mar
keting slowly this year than last. The sudden
drop in prices because of a declaration of war
and generalization Of exchange brought a panic
among cotton growers and those dependent upon
cotton. We had a large crop of cotton. but little
else, last year, and since re must have food,
clothing and shelter, it seemed necessary to sac
rifice to pay debts and meet other pressing needs.
But fortunately for the country we will have feed
and food crops to supply pressing needs this
year, and since cash in many instances was paid
to make the present crops, there will be no logi-
cal reason for sacrificing the cotton crop this
year.
If reports are true, the acreage has been
reduced and it does not now seem that the yield
per acre will be as high as last year. It is also
reported that in spite of war and the enormous
crop last year, the surplus cotton to be carried
over is not great. These factors should be con-
sidered and plans made to market the crop &C.
cordingly.
The interest now being manifested by the
bankers is commendable. These business men
and others are working diligently to encourage
warehouse facilities, credit arrangements and a
sentiment for marketing slowly. The growers
have learned the cost Of a panic in selling, and
surely they viii not be willing to sacrifice their
eeaattfl4 crop should prices reach a low level.

MAY LAST THREE MORE YEARS.

notwithstanding the rapid fall in the
value OF the English pound sterling and the
decline Of all European credit, there
are large orders being placed by b~elligerent
governments on the basis of three years
more Of war. During the first year of the
war the hope that it would be short has
been steadily declining. It was incredible a
year ago that any group Of nations in the
world would endure losses of more than
1913, 900 of men in killed, wounded and
captured. and of more billions of dollars
than can be ven approximately estimated,
or than any nation would propose an indefi-
mite extension of a war at a cost of more
than 81, SOC, 600 a day, which is the estimate
for each Of the nations, Germany, France,
Great Britain and Russia, or that the world
would look calmly on a war that is causing
an average of more than 10, casualties
a day.
But such is the fact. And the end is
not in sight. It recedes rather than draws
near, as far as seeming prospects go.
The deadlock in the west shows no
signs of breaking. The prospect that Rus
STA would be able to force a peace in the
east has disappeared.
The hope Of peace by the capture of
C~onstantinople is indefinitely delayed.
Even if Italy should gain substantial
successes in the Adriatic region, that would
not affect the final outcome of the war.
The most doubtful element in the forces
that might possibly bring peace earlier than
now appears probable, is the lack of knowl-
edge as to how far the scientists of Ger
many have been or will be able to supply
substitutes for those things used in making
ammunition, the supply of which has been
largely lost because Of the blockade.
The truth is unknown to the outside
world and can only appear in the future
conduct of the war.

PRESIDENT WILSON SCORES AGAIN.

The man who compelled congress to
adopt his policies, has won again. From
national victory, Wilson goes to interna-
tional victory. And no victory of the blood
stained fields Of this war can compare with
the presidents victory for peace, ~pertinently
says the Vicksburg Post.
But for the president this country would
have been at wal with Germany today. But
he understood the spirit of the majority of
Americans. He knew that the people did
not want to be dragged into the great con-
fict although they would not shirk anything
for honor-they would not shirk if he said
the word. He refused to be stampeded.
He stuck to his guns on the Lusitania case
but with such great good sense, with such
good humor, with such unmoved calmness,
that he finally brought the little party of
war managers in Germany to their senses.
Let us all thank God that we had a
Woodrow Wilson in the presidential chair in
the year of o u Lord, 1915.

A petition has been presented to the
Governor of Mississippi asking that Will A.
Sorsby, the cold-blooded murderer OF the
lamented Charles Fitzgerald, be pardoned.
The Commonwealth does not believe that
this brazen request will be granted. If the
murderer of a man like Charles Fitzgerald,
who was shot down in cold blood without
any justification whatever, are to be turned
loose, then our ~penitentiary system OF pun
ishment for criminals should be forthwith
abolished. The truth about the matter is
that Sorsby should have been legally exc
cuted for his diabolical crime. We can't be-
lieve that the Governor will pardon him.
He should not do so.

HELPING THE SOUTH.

Southern cotton planters are roinr To-
assisted this year BY the government. and in
manner a which they sought relief twenty-fye
years ago. when Leonidas 1. Polk of North Carol
lima wanted the government to lend money tol,
cotton producers 1t. 2 per cent. and accent a se-
curly warehouse receipts. says the Memphis
.~ewsScimitar. This might have been fayorahvl
acted upon, but, in order to attract Is much non-
support as possible. the proposal was widen-I
ed to include wheat, corn and oats, and finallyl
agricultural products generally Of a perishabae
nature, which rendered the proposition ridiculous
and defeated it Nevertheless. the agitation con-
tinued. and the Farmers Alliance was organized
to promote and further the plan. Kansas took i'll
up, and Senator Peffer became a national figure.
who was looked upon in some sections Of the
country as an anarchist. After going into poll
tics, which was contrary to the organic law Of
the association, the Farmers Alliance was merged
into the Populist party, which furnished the coun-
try so much amusement, and which was so
roundly ridiculed some years ago. The Demo-
cratic party absorbed and appropriated many OF
the teachings Of the Populist party, and this sub
treasury idea, under a safer and more workable
form, among the rest. The announcement made
a few days ago that Secretary McAdoo was going
to deposit ~$30,OOO,OOO in federal reserve banks at
D0AA00 OAA0 ~ 1O0uS UAU0 Ou
cotton secured by warehouse certificates, occa-
stoned no surprise, but, on the contrary, met with
q generous welcome. In the quarter OF a CEN
fury that has elapsed people have grown familiar
with the idea, and it has lost all of its terrors for
them. They realize that cotton, and even wheat
and other cereals, furnish as good security as can
be had anywhere or as is necessary. For many
years the government has come to the financial
aid of the great commercial centers when they
found themselves hard pressed. One after an
other secretary of the treasury put money in GER
tain banks to relieve a temporary stringency and
was applauded for it. At first United States
bonds were demanded, but of late years the
national treasury has been less discriminating
and has accepted miscellaneous securities, if of
approved value. Until recently the only collat-
eral that farmers and planters had to offer was
not acceptable, but the new banking law has
removed the embargo and permitted the treasury
department to supply the agricultural districts not
only an elastic currency, but an elastic credit as
well. In other words, the government is broad
ening and multiplying its activities and becoming
more and more serviceable to the people. We
should not invite too much paternalism, but a
line can be wisely drawn between what is an act
of service upon the part of the government, and
what is an act of servitude on the part of the
people. The science of government is not yet
perfected, and innovations that at one time are
looked upon as being anarchistic are accepted
anxiously at another time as something safely
democratic.
