DERELICTS.

When they have sailed out
their day; when their prows have
been set to the ports of the world
and the waves been spun to foam
in their homeward wake, there
comes for the ocean wanderers a
dav of reckoning.
Out of the caves of Eolus,
somewhere beyond the sight of
man, the winds come forth to
whip the waves into a frenzy of
motion, the gray clouds drop like
a pail over the tossing waters,
and the vessel is swept from its
course and tossed to ruin amid
the rocks. When the storm pas
ses and the sun rises its light
falls on a dismantled hulk that
floats, h~alf-submerged, far from
its rightful course. The thing
that was so free and so beautiful
has become a horror, a menace
to every ship that turns its PROV
in the same course, Fair wealth
err or foul, it is there, lurking
Just under the surface of the
waves to drag each proud vessel
to its own desolute level.
And the government calls it a
"derelict," and sends out skilled
seamen to destroy it and to clear
the uncharted highways of the

High as cotton seed prices rul-
ed last year, they may go higher
this year through the growing
scarcity of potash, and increased
fertilizer demands. The follow
ing from an editorial in yester-
days Atlanta Constitution is
quoted: From what little pot
ash he gets this year the farmer
must look to cotton seed meal
He will recall the high prices he
received for his cotton seed last
fall. This naturally means a
higher price for the fertilizer into
which cotton seed meal enters as
an essential ingredient. But this
is the one source of a little pot
ash for cotton this year, and there
is hardly a question that every
pound of it will be carefully u.s.
ed so as to get the best results"

the reefs of moral desolation.
And the student of sociology
calls this human wreck a moral

sends out no clear-eyed search

Raising the Long
Forgotten Standards.

The Vicksburg Herald had the
following to say ~editorially:
"The best thing" the New
York Herald says, in a strong
editorial on the Presidents pro-
gram for national defense, that
has come out of the South in
recent years is Senator John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi.
The worst, and it is said with sor-
row, is Senator Hoke Smith. of
Georgia" On the day the Her
aid editorial appeared. the New
York World had a John Sharp
Williams editorial from which
the following-the opening and
the closing-is quoted:
Small politics and smaller poll
tiCians received a castigation
long to be remembered, when in
the United States Senate Thurs
day John Sharp Williams of Miss
issippi addressed himself to them
for a few minutes. Evidence of
Mr.. Williams ability has not been
wanting in the past, but on this
occasion he asserted command
ing leadership in a body that has
not been notable of late for a
high average of craftsmanship.
We believe that Mr.. Williams
speaks not only for the bitter
part of the South but for the bet
ter part OF the entire country.
He is as bold as truth and as cir
cumspect as justice. Formerly
it was not unusual for a senator
of the United states to rise above
partisanship and address himself
to the welfare of the whole peo-
pie. In his revival of standards
ing forgotten by those who play
politics and ignore duty, Mr.. Will
liams honors his country, his
state and himself.
