WAR AND WASTE,

1t goes without saying that war Is
the most wasteful Of human occupa-
tions. 1t Is wasteful in material, in
energy and in life. 1t entails enor-
nous losses which can never be re-
paired. It diverts the energy of mill
lions of people from the activities
Of peace, from works Of permanence
and construction, to the ruthless de-
struction of the productions Of earlier
generations. And the lives Of mil
lions Of men are extinguished right
at the time when they might be most
useful
And yet, enormous as this waste is.
it is accompanied by such economies
that it is not quite certain that, eco
nomically. the world will not be act
ually better off when this war is
over than it would have been had
there been no war. Such a state
ment sounds strangely, but there are
abundant evidences that it is at least
partially. and may be wholly true.
The war has forced economies that
would not otherwise have been un-
dertaken. It has forced economies in
both consumption and production. 1t
has brought nations face to face with
the need for the conservation Of hu-
man life and human energy. The
need for the direction of every little
stream Of human activity into the
channels Of war has brought about,
in one form or another. according
to the varying conditions and ideals
of the nations. coordination Of ef-
fort in every line of work. just as 1t
has brought about a coordination Of
the work Of armies in the field.
When the war Is over things will
have been destroyed. But the devel-
opments in efficient organization
which have been created by the nee
essities of the war will remain as a
permanent contribution to the well
fare of society. And when it comes
time to bind up the wounds Of the ma
tions. that benefcent work will be
fastened and strengthened by this
very work which has been created
and stimulated by the war itself.

nominated had Bryan chosen to op-
pose him. and 1t 10 equally certain
that he could not have been elected
had Bryan attempted his defeat The
conditions were such that Mr.. Wilson
may we'll be said to owe both nomi-
nation and election to Bryan. and the
political obligation under which the
successful candidate rested was
recognized by tho entire country. It
was unfortunate that It was necessary
to tender such 4 position to Mr..
Bryan. But had the tender not been
made tho party Of which Mr.. Wilson
had become the head would have
been split from top to bottom, and
the entire country would have rung
with charges Of political ingratitude.
In a lesser degree these considera-
tions affected a number Of the other
offices.
The thing to be criticized Is not
that the individual upon whom these
obligations rested acted as most men
would have acted under similar cir
cumstances but that circumstances
were as they were. 1t was unfortun-
ate for the country that its affairs
were entrusted to party which
labored under those conditions. It
may be said that the conditions in
the other parties were no better.
That may be granted. We were in q
peculiar condition all around. But
we have to do with the fact that the
success Of the Democratic party at
the polls involved the payment OF
political obligations in a manner in
consistent with the best service to the
nation.
That is not an uncommon situation.
1t still exists in the Democratic party
by reason Of facts which no one in
that party can control. 1t does not
exist in the Republican party in this
campaign. Mr.. Hughes did not seek
the nomination. That nomination
came to him unsolicited. He made
no bargains for It. and no other per-
son had authority to make bargains
for him. He is being supported by
men of various political leanings, and
the support of all men is welcome.
But the support of no man involves
any political obligation on the part
Of Mr.. Hughes. No man has ever ap-
peared before the people Of this coun-
try as candidate for president who
had such free hand. Mr.. Hughes
is known. The firmness Of his char
acter is known. And his record gives
us every assurance that not only Is
he free now from entanglements
which might later prove embarrassing
to the country. but he will remain
free from such entanglements. He
will be at liberty, if the people choose
him as their president. to use his own
best judgment in the making OF ap-
pointments, and those appointments,
we may be certain, will be made on
merit.

There was big run Of hogs for
this time of year at western points
although as had been expected the
sharp bulge last week failed to draw
out what could be termed q heavy
supply for this market. Compared
with a year ago yesterday, however.
the quota at hand was generous. Nine
markets yesterday had about $4,000
hogs.
Light droves yesterday for the most
part sold between $3.50 and 1890,

temporary and fractional.
Liverpool cables were sharply lower,
from 8 to 10 down, and this accounted
for some Of the weakness at the start
but no attention was paid to this later.
Reports from the northwest received

the prospects in the northwest were

protest against the action Of the Sus-

of legal action to compel the Levy

lesson that waste conserved is profit

Here is a junk story from the Far
East: A Japanese rag man OF ex-
cellent speech and manner has been
making a canvass, offering to buy
all the old junk offered. Instead of
paying cash he gives a coupon good
at certain bank, where it must be
left untouched for a certain number
of years.
Upon investigation the ragman turn
cd out to be a former superintendent
of Yokohama police and manager OF a
large dock corporation, interested in
teaching his people the proper use Of
junk.
Junk money is apt to be regarded as
( "easy money" and spent foolishly
While ie is easy money. it should be
conserved to usefulness and not
wasted. The school teacher uses one
method. the Japanese junk man an.
other. but both tending in the right
direction. We can teach our children
no better lesson than to avoid waste
but avoiding all possible waste to SC
use the junk that it will prove last

The waste in every household is
considerable Part is unavoidable
waste and part is necessary waste.
Altogether too much food goes into
the garbage can. Clothes are not
taken care of, are not pressed or
mended, or hung up when not in use
and so become shabby long before
their usefulness is ended. Shoes that
with little mending would go many
a mile are thrown out. and throughout
the house there is waste. The attic
bears testimony to this fact.
Waste that is waste should not be
boarded, but turned into profit. Old
rubbers. rags, iron, can be turned

City Conveniences
Now Used in Country

City conveniences in the coun-
try may have been looked upon
as a dream at one time, but
along with other dreams of even
such things as submarines and
aeroplanes, it has become a re-
atty.
Not only is it possible to have
city conveniences in the farm
home, but such things are now
looked upon as necessities. All
good farmers have been looking
forward to the time when they
could have hot and cold running
water in their kitchens and bath
rooms, and have only been held
back by the cost. AS this OBJ
stacle has been greatly reduced
hundreds of Mississippi farmers
are now realizing their hopes
and installing water works in
their homes.
Agricultural engineers of Miss
issippi A. and M. College have
designed four systems of farm
water works, ranging in price
from $3.50 to $128. and
will supply any one of the hun
dred thousand farm homes with
complete plans and bills of mat
erial for putting in these sys-
TENS. During Mississippi Water
Works Week, which will be from
November 18th. to 18th, meet
ings will be held in every county
in the state, and plans and ad-
vice given to all who want city
conveniences in the country.
