both men TO be disturbed over such a
remote possibility. Their confidence is
vindcated by the speech of Mr.. Bryan
as the chief orator at the Jefferson
Day banquet in the city of Philadel-
phia The secretary Of state took each
accomplishment of sthe president and
compared it with the precepts Of
Thomas Jefferson, drawing the conclu-
sion that Wilson is the true 'Jeffersoni-
an Democrat in 0very sense of the
term. Bryan's praise of Wilson was
unstinted and manifestly sincere, and
was regarded by his hearers as a prac-
tical acknowledgment and Endorsement
of the president as the sole candidate
for the party nomination next year.
What other conclusion can be drawn
from this phrase of Mr.. Bryan's speech !:
"Is it possible that a president who
has stood on the peoples side in every
issue cannot be appreciated? ! cannot
doubt that the American people will
substantially indorse what he has done
and the ideals for which he has stood. "
If that means anything at all it means
that William J. Bryan is for Woodrow
Wilson for president in 1916.

Editor S. P. Stribling. of the splen-
did Union Appeal, makes the following
timely observation on Mississippi eco
nomc conditions and opportunities /:
Everything considered, the soil, the
timber resources, the splendid brains
and blood and the genial climate, 1t is
a mystery to us to some extent, why
such things as failures-sO many fall
ures with SO few reasons, happen in
Mississippi. We are sure that no state
in the union has such combination of
advantages to offer her young. The
state needs well developed young men
and women, to take a great part IN her
great future. These young people
need the influences and assistance Of
the state and magnitied possibilities.
Yet, in spite Of these conditions, our
young are growing up and going out
into the world as failures, in most
cases, complete failures that end in
djsappointment to self and a disgust to
others; while our resources are re-
naming untouched and crying for de-
velopment. 1t is time, high time, for
parents, teachers, preachers, business
men and editors. awake to this. They
are awakening to some extent and are
wide awake in many instances. Some
thing is wrong, radically wrong. The
state demands, and our social economic
conditions necesstate such an attitude
and position of pulpit, press. business
interests and schools that will cause
the shiftless youth of our state to real
ize that they are suffering in land of
plenty and are dreaming Of wealth and
glory in lands beyond our borders,
when it lies hidden at our feet. 1t
seems to US sometimes that thousand
opportunities are not as good and not
as conducive TO a great development,
nr to a great character as one oppor-
tunty. The fault is in ourselves,
Misslssippians, not in our stars, that
we are underIings. We need local
patriotism developed, a seIf-reliance
brought about, an assurance inculcated
into every youth that he must sow be-
fore he may reap, and that he will reap
only what he sows. Let US wake up
to our possibilities, our opportunities
and our obligations. Then a new Miss
issippi will appear inshistory, in busi-
ness and in wealth.

The greatest achievement Of this

is, or in Mr.. McAdoo's emergency

1t is not in Panama repeal, or in peace

According to a count made in the
library of congress recently, our feder-
al and state legislatures passed 62,0l4
statutes during the five years from
1909 to 1913, inclusive. Even greater
than this multiplicity of laws was the
vast mass of decisions of courts of
last resort. federal and state, which
during the same five years reached the
enormous total of 65,379, and now fill
630 volumes And yet ignorance of
the law, in a thousand volumes, does
no, xcuse. In our day of statute
making by The rapid-fre process,
Thomas jefferson would have found
greater reason than ever for declaring
that the country is governed best that
is governed least, and for opposing a
multiplicity of laws. Not the least
discouraging feature of it all is that
our statesmen of the ultra progressive
variety have countless new lass still

Many of the press comments on the
decision of the United States district
court, rendered March 20, at Topeka,
Kansas, holding that the federal mi
gratory bird law is unconstitutional, in
the opinion of the department, are err
roneous and are apt to mislead the
public concerning the real situation in
this matter. The Kansas decision
like a former decision to the same
effect in the eastern district of Arkan-
sas, is limited in its operation solely to
the district in which it was rendered.
Neither decision settles or nuIlities the
law, and the exact contrary has been
held by the United States district court
for South Dakota. The Arkansas case
has been appealed to, and is now pend
ing in the United States supreme
court The act of congress protecting
the migratory birds stands effective un-
til the supreme court finally decides
the question of its constitutionaIity.
In the meantime, it is incumbent on
every Iaw-abidng citizen to observe
its plovisio7s and the regulations. 1t
is the duty of the department to en-
force this law, and the officials ir
charge will endeavor to do so as long
as it is in force. Reports Of violations
will be carefully investigated, anc
when sufficient evidence is secured
they viii be reported for prosecution,
In this connection it should not be for
gotten that an offender against this
as in the case of other United States
laws. is subject to prosecution any
time within three years from the date
the ofrense is committed.

Our Republican friends have to draw
heavily upon their imagination to
squeeze any national significance Of the
Chicago election. Local issue alone
determined the result, as the Republi-
can mayor-elect admits. Chicago is
not a Democratic city, in spite Of the
fact that the Harrisons, father and son,
long dominated its local politics under
cover of the Democratic name. When
Carter Harrison lost this denomination
he and his followers revenged them
selves by helping to defeat the Demo
cratic nominee. Only three times dur
ing the last fifty years has Chicago
given pluralities to Democratic presl-
dental candidates. Tilden carried it iAs
1876 and Harrison in 1888 by narrds1f
margins. Cleveland did bettSI1n 1882,
carrying the city by $4,000. At all
other national elections in the last half
century the city has been anti-Demo-
cratic. The late mayoralty election IS
absolutely without national signiti-

The esteemed Kosciusko Herald, a
strong supporter of both Vardaman and
Bilbo, has no patience whatever with
the genus coat tail rider, and says
"A coat tail rider should be kicked
loose and thrown into political oblivion
for trying to impose upon the people.
1t makes no difference whose coat he is
on. knock him off. " This IS sound
doctrine and will probably be acted up
on everywhere in Mississippi. AS far
as the candidates in Holmes county are
concerned, we have not heard Of, any
one trying to ride into office on anybody
elses merits or demerits. Should any
one attempt such tactics he is prede-
stned o ignominious and weIl-merited

THE FASCINATING BOW.

Plain wide satin ribbon Is used as
founces, false hens. girdles. sashes and
jumpers. If the waist is worn outside
of the skirt little position at the
back of plaid or striped ribbon to
match collar. etc, is a smart addition.
Evening dresses especially are liber-
ally trimmed, and sometimes made al
most entirely of ribbon. A charming
gown is composed of seven f1ounces OIL
faille ribbon mounted on net, with a
wisp of bodice of both fabrics. bod
ices of chiffon. lined with net, are coy
cred horizontally with rows of inch
wide moire or faille ribbon. Wide bro
eaded velvet and satin ribbons are
used for the turnover part of collars
and cuffs on tailored dresses and suits.
The V necks of some blouses are pref
,ty filled in with outstanding ruffies OF
soft satin ribbon. Chinese figured rio-
bon makes handsome sashes, with short
loops at the back standing out straight
and fluffy. Lace costumes are COM
bined with bows of wide ribbon and
girdle, false hem, shoulder straps, etc
Entire hats are made of grosgraln
ribbon. Plaids are used on children $
hats. Odd, grotesque designs are used
on sport hats, as well as hand-smbroid-
cred effects. large hand-worked polka
dots, and small flowers in raised effects.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.

In the country the woman who finds
herself without Christmas plants can
seek in low places and woodlands and

cred grass or snow, lovely punches of
rock fern. apparently growing fresh
and green under winter coverings.
These may be arranged to have all the
appearance of growing plants. when.
as a matter of fact, all the bottoms of
the stems have been killed by the frost,
and only the little closed. fuzzy balls.
that contain next seasons crop Of
leaves, are alive. These rock ferns
SO called because they nearly always
seek tho shelter Of q rock or stone of
some sort-keep the shape and color of
their leaves indefinitely II set In very
wet sand.
A Christmas tree is a decoration al
ways enjoyed by young and old alike,
and in a city is easy to adorn with the
usual bright tinsel fnery; but in small
towns and country places one has to
manufacture decorations for the tree
that is intended for the holidays and
not for one night only. Bright -coIored
fruit is pretty hung amid the green
branches, and Christmas bells can be
made Of any flowers that happen to be
at hand. or Of bright berries. sewed
with bright, little silk bags containing &
presents, give a touch OF color.
Oddly enough. one of the best plants
for house decoration at Christmas time
is the Chinese lantern. a graceful green
plant hung over with lantern shaped
fruit of a bright red and yellowish-red
color, whose extcrior surface or pod is
as thin as paper. and whose interior
fruit is a glossy. bright -coIored ball.
Such a plant, rising from a plat of
green. is perfectly lovely, and the more
attractive for its oddity.
