LEGISLATION of the last three years.
In every important matter he has
bornea material part in many
the leading part, from the tariff
law Of 1912 to the defense Of the
democratic administrations Mex
lean and foreign policies in jan
uary, 1916.
All this sounds panegyrical,
but it is strictly true. In the
fighting forces of democracy he
stands next to the commander
in-chief, Woodrow Wilson, and
ish is right-hand man, his ablest
helper, If one wishes to know
what'Mr. WiIIiamsis worth to his
country, let him ask the presi-
dent Of the United States or the
leaders of the democratic party
in the nation. The answer will
war; the heart Of every loyal
Mississippian.
1t is not irrelevant, immaterial
or nadmissible for some one now
to say that if Mississippi in the
person of one of her senators
furnishes the democratic party
one Of its greatest assets, in her
other senator she saddles it with
one of it's most harassing liabil-
tiles. One does his work in the
senate against the republicans
there and the opponents of the
democratic administration; the
other thunders his democracy
through the anti-administration
Hearts papers and that rank re-
publican sheet, the Washington
Star, and this democracy mostly
consists Of bitter censure Of his
party's chiefand his party course.
But Mr.. Williams course needs
no contrast to show it's full worth
or bring out its finer points so
let other things pass.

The Automobile.

That Mississippi will some day pro.
duce a great humorist can easily be
imagined by reading the composition
If a freshman at the State University
printed below. After wrinting it the
author got cold feet because of its I'M
iGniied lovity and was afraid to turn
It in. so it was given to the BEACON by
one of the young mans classmates, In
it is combined, as any one can see, the
subtle humor of Marx Twain and the
brilliant wit of Bill Nye. 1t is Jos sible
that the writer may some day be known
as the man who made Mississippi
famous:
The automobile is a rubber. tir,
ed "cash" separator which is be.
ing used largely to keep prosper
Gus American citizens from wor.
rying over how to invest their
money.
There are a great many varie.
ties of cash separators, but the
automobile is by far the best. 1t
can go through an ''ordinarially
flushed citizen in a very few
months and leave very little cash
in his pockets. In fact it's work
is approached in thoroughncss only
by the private yacht and girls
school.
The automobile is driven bv
gasoline, assisted by water, oil,
electricity, wind and gas, and
sometimes horses and mules. Some
drivers have also used brains with
great success, but the supply is
too limited to be generally adopt.
ed. If every automobile driver
were equipped with a small set of
brains, we would have no more ac.
CidcntS.
An auto consists of an engine
with one hundred and seventy.
five parts, connected by a clutch
with ninety five parts, to a geaI
box with seventy-ivc parts and
then to Il dillercntial with fifty
parts. When all of these parts
are feeling we'll and are working
together, the automobile is said tC
be In good running order. How.
ever, If any individual part of an
automobile is feeling convalescent,
and Will not work at all, the man
who wants to sell the machine to
you second hand, will solemnly
swear that the machine will run
like Il top.
Automobiles comes in all sizes
including the family size, and the
bank director and the fool size
a small car with only twelve con
dcnsed horses in it can be bought
for three hundred and fifty dollars
and can be driven over the curl
and into trees as successfully as ;
big car which costs five thousanC
dollars and has sixty.iive condens
ed horses in it.

Texas still lags behind the three mil

1888 2l bales and not a few bulls are
still willing to bet against three million
for the total.

There are only two more ginning re-
ports this season. One will carry the
crop to January Is and the ether will
be issued on March 20 and will give the
total crop.

While ginning this last period was
somewhat larger than the bulls thought
it would be. the bulls are stronger than

crop, linters and all, will be under 12,-

monize and unity all our people, to

state back upon an honest and sound
financial basis; to give stability to

public; to emphasize moral values.

hibitory principle; to guard and pro-
tect and conserve the school lands of
Colorado and to raise the average of
civic loyalty at home and reestab-
lish the confidence and respect of
our neighbors. was no easy task
the people of Colorado assigned me
two years ago. l have done my best.
The coming political contest will
logically and necessarily be waged
between those who sincerely believe
in sustaining the constructive policy
so far undertaken and those who are
fundamentally opposed. My only de-
sire in this campaign is that the op-
position will come out in the open
upon clear debate of policy and
principle.

To continue the policy begun in the
present administration whereby the

To seek to decrease the burden of

To the end that all consolidation or

may be constructive and productive
of higher efficiency, rather than re-

and will, therefore, be able to urge
upon the coming legislature such con-

lockouts and strikes.
To sustain the dry" lawn my
and moral step forward that Colorado

other unfriendly or reactionary legis-
lation; to seek, after this year of
testing the dry" law, to make it
even more effective against the boot
logger by such amendment as the
true interests of the prohibitory cause
and experience dictate.
To maintain the Colorado Public
Utilities Commission SO free from all
outside control that it may continue
as an independent and efficient
agency to meet promptly, wisely and
justly the innumerable disputes and
differences between the utility cor
porations and the several municipal
tiles of the state, and thereby insure
fair return and stability of property

ficient service and adequate protec-
tion to the consuming public.
To adjust and limit the total of

pay one hundred cents of every dollar
appropriated, and instead of swallow
ing up extraordinary income by use
less and wasteful over-appropriations

the succeeding administration for
building construction or other perman-
ent purpose.
To maintain all state institutions
upon a sound finascial basis; to es-

such close unions and cooperation be
tween educational heads that over

educational problems of the state be

To so guard the 100000 acres of
school land in the state, and the half

Colorado may be preserved and kept
inviolate and never again be imper-
lied by scheming official, however
