MIsFIr MEN ARE NO HELP TO FARMERS

| (Written Specially for The Bulietin.) The other day. in a New York city morning paper, saw the statement from one of the charitable societies or that city that this one society knew Of ten thousand or more able-bodied, capable men, now idle, who were not only willing but anxious to get work in the country on farms.
 Next day. the same paper published a letter from the owner of small farm on Staten Island, saying that for years he had been trying to get some man of this sort ito take his place at a purely nominal rental, but that, thus far. he had quite failed. There had beenSappiicants, but always they Shled and drew back when they found that the farm was outside the city limits and without electric lights, steam heat. porcelain bath-tubs, etc.
 Next day still another letter ap- peared from a producing farmer a hundred miles up the state. saying that ho wanted help badly and would give discouraged city man and wife a good home and board so that. while the wages would be low, as beftted a green hand. they could practically all be saved and. after a couple of years amount to enough to enable the man to strike out for himself.
 Do you s'spcse this last farmer will get the kind of man he writes about,
 If you do, it's my humble opinioI that you've got another think com ing. ,
 For years and years the air hal been full of stories about discouraged city workers wanting to get chance
 any sort of chance-to cut loos, from the city and start new lives ou in the wholesome country
 Fir1-. years and Ue9rA the ma ga zine of Q certain sort have been printing more or less disguised fiction abou the adventures of such rura1-tendini citizens. Back to the Land,'' '.Ad ventures in Contentment" Back t Eden. How One City Man Made Success on a Farm" etc. etc. You'v' seen such titles; perhaps read sucl stories.
 And for years and years practica farmers. sorely in need of help t, work their lands and care for thei crops. have been trying to get hell from the ranks of idle city worknei with about as much avail as if the, had sought it in the. corridors c county poor-houses.
 I have one naighbor, a big hearted kindly man who, actuated as muc by his sympathy for the woes of tn city unemployed as by his need fo helps twenty years ago began per sistent search for a man or 8. famil to come on to his place and lear farmtng He kept it up for severs many applicants. In face Of regula and uz1varying failure he stuck to till. even his exceptional patience wa at last worn quite out, and his sym parthy for the discouraged city tene ment dweller absolutely destroyed.

u. S. HIGHWAY THRU THE STATE.

We publish in another column an article which only recently
appeared in the Paducah Evening Sun touching the matter of a
highway thru the Bluegrass state, Tennessee and Mississippi Dr.
J. 7. Dean, of Carrollton, from whom we published a communication
some months ago, is the moving spirit behind the project. 1t is a
matter of far reaching Importance to Grenada county and to the en-
tire state, especially the central and western portions of the state
There can be no controversy about the fact that if there is TO be a
federal highway through Mississippi it should traverse the central
portion of the state. This is the natural, the logical route. And
Just now it behooves us to wake up. The meet had only a few DAYS
ago in Nashville to breathe the breath of life into the Old Hickory
route which it is proposed shall run thru the eastern portion of Mis-
sissippi, thence to New Orleans, means, if it succeeds, that all fed
.eral aid will for sometime go to that route. If we remain asleep at
the switch, we may expect somebody else to reap what is within
our reach. A federal highway thru the state is coming, it may be
within a short while, it may be several years, but it is coming and
the wise thing for us in Grenada county, and in adjoining counties
north and south of us, to do, is to present. the merits and advantages
of a north and south route from Memphis very nearly parallelng
the Illinois Central railroad. The Lexington Advertiser suggests
that each county along the proposed route, the "Old Stage Line.
print sign boards and do other necessary things to advertise it, and
be prepared to join in the automobile tour, which is to start at
Vicksburg and AT Jackson.
Grenada county will do her part.

NO TIME FOR TEARING DOWN.

The claim is set up by a few that South Mississippi is not en-
Toying representation in the state legislative body according to
population. Neither are the states of the Union represented IN the
United States Senate according to population, yet nobody is seeking
to revise the constitution of the United States because OF that. 1t
would be doing a thing that has never been done to fix a basis OF
representation absolutely giving every county or district the same
number of representatives as its %neighbor. There is too much chaos
in the affairs of Mississippi at present to iun the risk of tearing
down our organic law and building up a new one. The wise man
wants to know-and will know-what his new structure is going to
he before he tears his old one down and turns himself out-of doors.
The present constitution of Mississippi is regarded the country over
as one of the greatest of its kind. 1t is superb IN all its parts. 1t is
sure in its beginning and complete in its ending. There is not a
missing section nor is there a superhuous one. There is no record
of anything being denied South Mississippi that was due them; at no
time in the legislative history of the state has something been done
or failed to be done because one section wanted it and the other did
not and we hope that the evil day of cutting Mississippi into Sec
tons will long be deferred. In truth and in fact, the farmers. the
merchants and other business men of the southern part o. the state
are giving themselves no concern about the matter of representa-
ton. Iii the politicians that are chiefly concerned. The creation
of more Offices would just increase the cost of running the state gov
eminent and make more places for the politicians. The state would
fare far better were there fewer men in the Legislature. Instead of
increasing the number, better results would be attained were the
number just half what it is now.
We repeat, this is no time for tearing down.

WHAT BOLT OF DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S COST.

An old hve-nasted schooner, the lanes ". Paul, IT.. that cost
ST. 900 and that would have earned probably ten thousand a wear
now makes $4,000 in frt}ght rates IN a few months. Her earnings
in the sBal trade were $1,000 d month and expenses. Thus does wal
profit the ship owner.
OF course these rates are extraordinary, and the ultimate con-
sumner has to pay them. The last buyer of the goods made from
sisal pays this extreme high rate; and the man of small means all
over the civilized world who buys anything is paving these abnor-
NAL water rates.
If President Wilson, emergency shipping bill had become a
law, this burden would have been lifteo from the shoulders of the
poor man. Immediately on the passage of that measure this coun-
try would have bought up a number Of ships and ordered others
built, giving employment 10 many iaborerS and by potential compe-
tition forced down freight rates.
Why did not all our lawmakers ee this? Why did not Ala
bamas senior senator not see il? Why did not the six other South
ern senators who bolted then party caucus and torpejoed this wise
measure see 1t?
A Democrat believes in low tariffs, in low freight rates, in low
cost of living. Seven Southern Democrats, all federal senators
voted for high tariffs, high freight rates and high cost of living.
They should have thought of the plain people, the ultimate consum-
