DEMOCRACY VS.. VARDAMAN.
From The Jackson Daily News.

From The jackson Daily News.
The Democrats of Grenada county, in convention Monday,
adopted a resolution which is virtually d declaration against honor
ing Senator James X. Vardaman with a place on the Mississippi
The resolution says that democrats should think seriously be-
fore trusting with further honors those members of the party who
have seemingly lost no opportunity to disagree with President
Wilson, and to embarass him at every possible point, often voting
and cooperating with the Republicans, and against a majority Of
their party, or bestowing upon them power to further harrass the
President and retard the great work the Democrats are now doing
for the nation"
This is clear and explicit. Furthermore, it is good common
sense.
AS Senator Vardaman is not in harmony with the Democratic
party, the administration at Washington, and The chief magistrate of
the nation, it would be a vain and foolish thing to send him to the
party convention.
St. Louis. Nobody cherishes any doubts on that point, unless it is
William J. Bryan, who always goes to the national conventions hop.
ing tor a psychologists moment that will give him the nomination.
Furthermore, Vardaman's animosity towards Mr.. Wilson is Der
sonal as well as political. He has developed a blind and unrcason-
able hatred tor the President, and never loses an opportunity to
make unkind remarks concerning him.
1t is certain. therefore, if Senator Vardaman is sent to the St.
Louis convention ne will be a trouble maker. He is sure to start a
OF some sort, even it is necessary to invent a silly pretext.
There was never a time in all history when it was so important
tor Democracy to show a solid front as now. The coming campaign
will be a hard-fought battle. Despite the fact that our nation has
never had a greater President than Woodrow Wilson, he will be Bit
terly opposed tor reelection. In realization of these facts the
Democrats of Nebraska wisely decided to leave their chef trouble
maker, William Bryan, at home, and it would be a splendid thing
tor the Democrats OF MISSISSIPPI to do likewise with their noted
sorchead and melcontent, James K. Vardaman. 2
We congratulate the Democrats of Grenada county on the cour-
age and party spirit shown in adopting the resolution above quoted.
it is sincerely to be hoped that the Democrats in other counties
show equal courage and respect for the principles of the party.

ADVICE TO UNCLE SAM.

There is a certain queer old book
which was printed in England more
than a hundred years ago called. "The
Pleasant Art of Money-Catching." 1t
contains this good advice: First see
that your comings-in be more than
your layings-out." Suppose a man
were taking ten thousand dollars a
year over the counter of his store.
That might seem big to him. But If
he had to pay ten thousand and one
dollars for stock and rent and help
and fire, he would not be prospecting,
but failing. Uncle Sam does get a
great deal of money from the liquor
traffic. But he and we spend very
great deal more in caring for it's vic
tins. So this is bad business, and
when enough people have found it out
the liquor traffic will go. They are
finding it out very fast. Everybody
who has studied arithmetic can figure
out the reason for national prohibit
ton. 1t is a matter of dollars and
cents.-Christine Timing.

NO USE FOR 1T IN FIVE YEARS.
A leading banker of Wisconsin
vouches Tor the following incident:
Within the past year the managers
OF a brewery in one of the smaller
cities of the state decided to build
new malt house at a cost of $4,000.
They commissioned their president to
go to Milwaukee and effect a loan.
He naturally went to one of the big
brewery-controlled banks of that city.
The vice-president to whom he applied
for the loan, was formerly in the brew
ing business and had made a hand
some fortune in that business during
the palmy days before the drys had
begun to knock the big profits out of
1t. He very wisely got out of the bust
ness when the getting was good, not
as now, when brewing stocks are all
shot to pieces.
To the utter surprise and chagrin
of the out-of-town brewer he was
promptly refused the loan. He ex-
claimed: whats the matter? With
all this fine property we got, amt we
good for $25000?"
Quick came the answer from the ex-
brewer-banker: But what do you
want to use the $4,000 for?"
ITO build malt house, so we can
enlarge our business said the brewer.
But, you fool, don't you know that
in five years you will have no use
