No Return to Hannalsm.

There is belief in Wall street that
American opinion is so preoccupied by
the war that 1t has forgotten domestic
questions and is no longer interested
In progressive government. We doubt
1t. We do not believe that the Amer
lean people are so short-sighted as not
to appreciate the sinister significance
Of return to Hannaism. There Is no
evidence that the rank and file of
either party has lost its sense of polit-
zeal idealism.
But If it were again possible for Wall
street to re-establish another Hanna
regime in the government of the
United States, we can assure Big Bust.

On many Mississippi farms this win

ample supply of feed.
For profitable livestock farming it

forage crops and to grow them cheap

College Experiment Station, and Mis-

livestock growers have harvested
much hay and filled hundreds OF silos.
A number of forage crops of merit
are now grown by Mississippi farmers.
OF the crops grown for silage, corn

Advocates of higher tariff protection
used to point to whatever industrial
distress existed, and assert, in Dol
liver's words, that they "yearned for
the factory bells calling millions back
to work" Something more than a
realization that the whole country Is
now prosperous and satisfied is &C
countable for the decline in protec-
Zionist talk. What 1t is was told the
Republican club by Jacob Schiff, in
words that have weight as coming
from man who has been for fifty
years the stanchest of Republicans.
He warned the party that IF you
threaten the country and show 1t you
want a renewal of special privilege
and high protection, the people will
have none of it. The people have
learned; the workmen and farmers
have learned, and they cannot be
misled any longer"

Let Light Into the Tariff.

1t makes no difference who urges
the tariff commission, whether Dem
ocrats, Republicans or Progressives.
The idea is right. A tariff commits
sion will not take the tariff out of pol
itics in the United States. for the
tariff is too profitable political issue.
But at least it will furnish intelligent
information on the subject which, In
the past, congress has lacked.
The fact that tariffs were made In
the dark, tL't there was no source of
information on the subject. has made
1t easy for them to be used to reward
campaign contributors and In general
to promote political ends. For gen.

young woman should be willing TO
share her love with them while the
old folks live. The bachelor heart has
stored away In its depths scores of
loves. old as well as up-to-date loves.
He is doing very well to have even a
small corner untenanted which he
can devote to wife.
Everyone knows that the widower Is
not expected to be able to give any
more than that. no matter how taken
up he will be with another woman who
enters his life. Taken all in all, we
find they promise rashly who take
upon themselves the vow to give their
whole undivided heart to another.
After marriage, it's often these differ
ent influences that wedge themselves
in and turn the tide of happiness. A
loved aunt who interferes too much
in the affairs of the young married
couple can bring about considerable
havoc. She whispers to the wife that
she saw him flirting with pretty girl
on the street. Jealousy takes root.
Then the trouble begins to brew.
Hubby cannot uproot love for dear
aunty in his wifes heart He has
taken her for better or worse, with
all these loves, and he must bide by
the consequences.
Most married couples do very well
to sail along smoothly in sea so full
of shoals of other loves. He should
do his best to make the corner of
her heart which he has captured 80
happy a dwelling place that he will
rapidly acquire all the rest of the
space within her heart. More couples
marry than are really mated The
trouble of the mismated often rises
from not realizing that to start in
with they occupy only part of each
others heart. This should give many
a loving couple something to think
about.

PLANT FOR FUTURE FRUITS.

"'Is your orchard all planted? Will

A few spare hours utilized now in
planting fruit trees will bring big re
turns in the years to follow. Farmers
throughout Mississippi can profitably
spend many of their winter afternoons
planting orchards for future pleasure

which they live, there are pretty sure
to be young folks there. When they
get their heads together there will be
something doing in the way of frolic
all the winter through. With the first
fall of snow the festivities are sure
to start in with an old-fashioned sleigh
ride. A dozen girls and quite as many
beaux pile into the old bobsleds, well
packed in with straw. Mid shouts
and laughter, away they go, up hill
and down dale, to some farmhouse,
miles distant, where preparations
have been made for them. On comes
the hungry crowd, with shouts and
laughter and foot of horn. The hot
coffee and the doughnuts put an edge
on their appetites.
There was no room in the little
farmhouse for dancing, so the big,
rambling old barn was put in shape
fixed up spick and span. The floors
were scrubbed and sanded for dancing.
All the young men had brought every
lantern they could rake and scrape.
They were hung and lighted in jiffy.
The girls nimble fingers had fash
toned flower brighter in hue than
ever grew. Ropes of evergreens, holly
berries and yards upon yards of bunt-
ing were strung up quicker than it
takes to tell. Two of the young fell
lows brought along their -xioltns. an
other his accordion, still another his
banjo. The music was fast and furi-
Gus.
But what jolly fun there was dane
ing to it, among the lads and lassies
Many girls exchanged beaux. Girls
who had come unescorted found fell
lows there in the same predicament.
Tender little romances grew out of it.
Every girl or young man who par
ticipated in the revelry had his or her
name down for just such another rev.
elry at their respective homes. What
did it matter how the storm ragged?
It did not scare young hearts and
warm blood.
They laughed in the face of the biz
zard. 1t deferred them not a whit.
BY the time the winter was half over

With the object Of not letting the
girls get ahead of them in providing
good cheer, the matrons do their
shares in getting up oyster suppers

One such malaria carrier" in league
with a few Of these little angels of
death spreads the scourge throughout
more than the one community in which
that unfortunate and dangerous person
resides. The human carrier travelling
from one neighborhood to another Is
bitten by mosquitoes along the way.
Ten days thereafter those mosquitoes
infect other persons. This carrier is
likewise the greater menace because OF
being unknown to the unsuspecting vic
Tins. Not infrequently malaria car
rier does not even suspect that he was
not cured when the chills stopped.
Many even boast that this or that pat
ent medicine stopped" them. Thus his
terrible part in spreading the scourge
goes on. No one had ever enlightened
him. His physician probably does not
know that this person ever had mala-
ria. Many people never say anything
to their physician about one of the
family having had "few chills." Some
popular nostrum, too few doses of quiz

Little Rock, Ark, July 1.-Ben L.

Mir Griffin says the petitions now on file with the sec retary of state contain in the neigh borhood of 10000 names. Under the law it is only necessary to secure about 14,000 signatures. There was some talk today of the probability of prohibition leaders attacking the val- idity of the petition for alleged failure to comply with the provisions of the enabling act putting the initiative and referendum amendments to the con stitution in force. What the ailega- tions are the prohibition leaders re- fused to say, but they claim to have sufficient reason for attacking the pe- titions, which will result in injunction proceedings against the secretary of state to restrain him from placing the repeal measure on official ballots

WEEKLY REVIEW OF

New York, July 7.-There have been violent fluctuations in the cotton market here during the past week The break which followed the publi- cation of the governments crop re- port last Saturday carried October contracts off to l2.s5, or more than S3 per bale under the recent nigh level.
 The official condition of S1I per cent compared with SOP, the 10-yoar average, indicated a much greater improvement in crop prospects during June than had been suggested by pri- vate reports and was interpreted by the Washington statisticians as point ing to a yield of l4,266,000 bales, ex- cluding Iinters. Neither this prospect nor the break in the futures market appeared to bring in any general sell ing against present or prospective new crop supplies, however, and as soon as liquidation subsided the mar ket became steadier
