Have your truss fitted at Gays

Justic Hughes will be the first
member of the United States SUI
preme Court who has ever made the
presidential race. Where the exper-
iment has been tried by jutices of
state courts the results have not been
altogeather pleasing to them. Take
Judge Parker. for instance, taken
from the New York Court of Appeals
in 1904 to head the Democratic
ticket. One of his predecessors,
Chief Justice Folger, left his high
office in 1881 to become secretary
Of the treasury under president Ar
thur. In the year following he was
nominated for governor of New York
by the Republicans. Grover Cleve-
land ran against him and performed
the remarkable feat of beating him
by nearly 2OO. 900 plurality-an un-
precedented figure for those days.
This made Cleveland president in
1884 and sent Judge Folger to his
grave about the same time.-Phila-
delphia Record (Dem.).

Would Exclude Whisky Ads. From
the u. s. Mails.

There is a law in this State
prohibiting whisky advertise
ments in the newspapers and, also
the sale of periodicals containing
such advertisements on the news
stands. While this is true, such
periodicals are delivered through
the U. S. mails. When the post
office appropriations bill was be-
ing considered by the Senate,
June 18th, the following remarks,
made by Senator James X. Var
daman, relative to admitting to
the mails circulars and periOdi-
Gals carrying such advertise
ments, were very much in line
with the sentiment of the people
of Mississippi:
Mr.. Vardaman. | am very much
in favor of striking at this nefariOus
traffic i'm any way that would en-
barrass or hinder it. If we can not
hit it in the face, | would shoot it
in the back; / wou Id sandbag it,
hamstring it. | want to do every
thing within my power to discourage,
to condemn. to outlaw and render
odiOus the liquor traffic, 1t is re-
spOnsible for more murders, the
perpetration of more outrages upon
innocent, virtuous women-it has
made more widows, orphaned more
children, blighted more lives, frus-
trated more ambitions, sent more
men to Jail, has done more to fill
the hospitals with the sick and the
asylums with the insane-in word
it has wrought more unhappinoss
and horrible havoc among man
kind than all the other agencies for
evil combined. If had my way,
Mr.. President, | would close the |
door of every saloon on earth. L
would restrict the manufacture and |
sale of alcoholic stimulents to scien-
tifc and mechanical purposes. / !
can not for the life of me under
stand how, with its record of wrongs,
civilized Christian nation will per-
NIT this social cancer-the open |
salOon-to continue to cut into the |
very vitals of our civilization. To
permit the postal service to be ased |
rs an agency for the promotion OF |
this wicked business is a prostitu- |
tiOn of beneficient function of our |
government which the American |
people will not long tolerate.

Hughes Must Show His Hand.

The New York Tribune, whose
republicanism has never been Ques-
toned, as it has always been ultra.
partisan, says: Mr.. Wilson's ut
terances have been far more specific
and definite than Mr.. Hughes and
have earned him opposition and de-
nunciation. Many, many months
ago this newspaper said: 1t would
be better for the Republican party
to endorse Woodrow Wilson in 1916
than to permit the principle to be
established that to defend American
interest is to commit political sui
eide. ~ The tribune meant that
on July Is, 1915, and it means it
June IA, 1915. 1t believes now as
it believed then that if the German
American interests are identified
with any candidate, that candidate
will be defeated by Americans, with
out regard to party. Only Mr..
Hughes can decide whether his can
didacy shall have this label and only
he can present it.-Greenwood Com

Screening Not Effective-l1ow
to Screen.

Much of the screening that is done
is ineffective. An idea prevails
among many people that screening
of doors and windows of a residence
gives all necessary protection 80 far
as this particular measure is con-
cerned, against flies and mosquitoes.
The door is screened often with a
crack at the bottom which adm its
flies and mosquitoes freely, or in
time it becomes punctured with
holes, through which they gain ac-
cess to the home. In a sense, this
kind of screening causes the inmates
of the home to live with feeling of
false security. In other words. when
ever screening is done in a careless
manner, whether it be home or a
restaurant or hotel, it permits flies
and mosquitoes to enter. and when
these diseases carrying insects once
gain admittance, this kind Of screen
ing prevents them from escaping
from the house; in other words it
serves as a trap" instead of pro-
lection.
Screening to be effective should be
done with care; no cracks should be
left around the screen door or win
dow, even the smallest opening will
be found by blood seeking mos
quito or filth carrying fly. The
wire gauze should have Is to 18 |
meshes to the square inch. Even a
IA mesh wire gauze will allow small |
to enter unless it is |
the 12-inch wire gauze
should never be used This serves
to protect against flies but not mos
quitoes.
During the summer months it is
desirable to have portion or all of
the porteb screened, as it is usually
the custom for all people to sit on
the porch in the evening during the
summer months. AS malaria is
spread by a certain kind of mosquito
which usually bites only at night, it
is necessary to use special precautions
between dusk and sunrise. Every
home should be protected aGaiuot|
dies. and. Dsequitce ~ ol1cli1oI|

out such protection. it is shown that
they spend more money in doctors
bills in one year because of this.
than screening costs.
Likewise all restaurants, hotels
and meat markets should be screen
ed carefully in order to protect food
against the disease spreading house

bile to supplement this feeling of
satisfaction of work well done. This

carranza's Answer.

The Carranza government puts 1t
back to the Wilson government in
strong and even bitter language, cal
culated to provoke hostilities on the
instant, and would undoubtedly do
so. if q less patient man than Wilson
had charge of our affairs.
After all Of the Carranza bluster.
however, there is down in the last
paragraph but one suggestion of a
basis of future agreement and peace.
The significant line reads:
But short of we'll defined agree
ment (the Constitutionalist govern
ment) will not permit foreign ma
tion to enter Mexican territory with
its armed forces.
Carranza's contention is that our
forces are in Mexico by assumption
of permission that has not been
given. We infer from the language
used that the issue is as to Mexican
national dignity, and that if we re-
spect that we may proceed as now
to the actual putting down of ban
dts and safeguarding our frontier.
This, however, is only an inference.
There may be nothing in it.
If there is any honorable way to
avoid war with Mexico, we certainly
wish to see it employed. We trust
that Mr.. Wilson will discover it.

One View of 1t.

In our opinion, the only salvation
for Mexico is for Uncle Sam to take
it over and establish protectorate
like we did in Cuba. We would
suggest that Teddy Roosevelt be ap-
pointed provincial president of the
Province of Mexico with full author
ity to Quell the disturbance. The
whole cursed cactus covered greaser
country is not worth the life of one
good old Mississippi Democrat. -

Well. you'd laugh to hear the way ole

is Just as much a friend as he is doc

in Bibbs as If he was in the family.
He thinks Bibbs isn't anyways bad

is what'd make you laugh if you'd been

He paused TO chuckle, and stole
glance at her. She was gazing straight
before her at the wall: her lips were
parted. and-visibly-she was breath
ing heavily and quickly. He feared
that she was growing furiOusly angry;
but he had led to what he wanted to

to say it all. He leaned forward and
altered his voice to one of cOnfideD
