THE AFTERMATH COMING.

So far few papers have gone on record as fav-
oling or disappearing the work Of the legislature;
the Jones County News, a Vardaman, Bilbo,
Russell organ, does not hesitate to speak out IN
condemnation of many of the acts OF the session
just closed, being quite as severe as Governor Bill
DO. who has authorized the Clarion-Ledger to
quote him as saying that he wholly disapproves
of the five million dollar BONO issue, the nine mill
state levy, the increase IN all salaries, including
Governor and Supreme Court Judges, and the stall
wart efforts of the members to increase their own
COMPENSATION $3.50; he would not have allowed his
own salary increased from $4,000 to $500, had he
been Governor, and would have vetoed the bond
issue, the nine mill tax, and all increases made to
both state and county officers. He also said that
the people would inaugurate a referendum, and
vet defeat many of the acts of the legislature, and
that members who have voted for them had writ
ten Dennis after their names.
The Jones County News %criticises the endor-
sment of President Wilson and Mississippis two
United States Senators and the neglect to ratlty
the Anthony amendment. But, it says "the cry
ing shame, the browning infamy, of their record
of assininity, was the b%arefaced attempt, in
broad-open daylight, to put their paws into the
public trough and steal outright the peoples mon
ev. when they attempted to raise their own salar-
les in open and fragrant violation of the c%onstitu-
ton"
That is what you might call "hot-stuff," but
hear the conclusion of this fire-eating. newspaper
from Jones, when it belches forth the following
lurid flame, which this paper prints not to en-
dorse, but to show what one of the truly loyal or
gans has to say:
But how are you going to convict a COW thief
if eleven of the jury got part of the beef? Isn't
it plain that the whole judiciary of MISSISSIPPI IS
disqualified to pass on the constitutionality of the
case. The legislature didn't get away with their
part of the swag, but the Governor and the judges
got theirs, or will get it; and it is tainted money
Wait till the people get a chance at the work OF
the legislature through a referendum, and yol
will see them shoot holes in those inflated salar
les"
And the above is not all, but the balance of thu
comment of the News is too hot, rabid and un
parliamentary to secure insertion in this conser
vative journal. The sample given above show
what it thinks of the doings Of the legislature
that is, if words are the vehicle by which an ed
itor can convey his meaning to the public.-Clar

"The American farmer is not a pau

He said that the farm loan act merely

culture was rapidly deterioratlng,
the number Of farmers engaged in

After an exhaustive study of the
needs of the country and after an
other exhaustive study of the credit
system of European countries, con-
gress decided to adequately finance
agriculture as a great underlying IN
dustry essential to the life OF the
nation. Congress did not contem-
plate any petty remedies. 1t did not
contemplate charity for the small
farmers. It did not contemplate a spe-
cial privilege for the big farmers. But
did contemplate establishing
a practical system of rural credits by
which the farmer would be enabled to

congress did this, assuming that the
general welfare demanded that we
look to the future and make provision
for a continued food supply for the

Keeping Country Boy on Farm.
""The intent of congress IN passing
the federal farm loan act was not TO
bring the city boy back to the country,
as some seem to think, because the
congress-, having in its membership a
goodly number of men who spran2
from the farm, was fully aware that 1T
was folly to expect the city mar TO
succeed in the country. Rather it was
the intent of congress to keep the
country boy on h farm by making
farming sufficiently profitable to be at
tractive to an ambitious man of brains,
energy and vision. | mention this be
cause some people seem to feel
that the millennium will come the
moment we can get the city boy headed
for the farm. Farmers, however, Know
better. They know that the success

from the country-rafsed boy. And al

Why Farmers Need Money.

Cup to the time of the passage of the
farm loan act, the system of farm cred
it's in operation in this country was ex-
ceedingly cumbersome. 1t was so cum
bersome that it could not furnish the
kind of service the farmer required, at
any price. That is, it could not furnish
loans ON the long term amortization
plan. Also the entire field of farm
credits was without anything more
than the most primitive (and therefore
futile) regulation as to rates of inter

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
THREE REASONS o H | COST OF
LIVING.

One of the main reasons for high cost OF lH
ing:
Mr.. William Henry Jones
Bought a shirt for twenty bones
Did he need it? Not a bit.
Yet he stopt and paid for it.
Back in days that now seem dim,
Cheaper fabric suited him.
But in these times, free from care,
He must have his silk to wear"
Another cause of high cost of living:
Mrs. J. Augustus Vance
Saw a certain dress by chance;
1t was lust like beloved foam,
Yet she had eight more at home.
So she brought it from the store
For two understanding more.
Five brief years ago to-day
She'd have tainted away.
For she muttered, "Sakes alive!
When they asked her eighty-five.
Still another reason for high cost of living:
Henry Smithson has a job,
Tho he dosen't hit like Cobb.
Still his pay is quite enough
To help carry out the bluff.
Once he found in deep content
Walking helped to pay the rent.
Now, of course, it's much too far,
He must have a touring car"

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Minsk,

One of the least interesting among Russian cities in its physical aspects, Minsk has an economic history that helps in understanding how Bolshevism spread so readily among the Russian people" says National Geographic Society bull letin concerning the city where the Poles and the bolsheviks have been meeting to discuss peace terms.
 The industrial history of Minsk is es- pecially significant in view of present conditions in Russia. It was one of the centers where ideas long germinat ted which blossoned forth so suddenly into bolshevism under the hothouse influences of war distress. There, in the early nine ties of the last century, group of dilettantes formed a Working Mans Union, later more accurately termed the Union for Struggle. Promulgation of lit- printed in secret, was a major activity of this group in Minsk. Few working men belonged to 1t.
 Tn the course of five years these groups, working in Moscow, St. Peters burg and Minsk, had accumulated a num- Der of followers, few of whom agreed They gave wide publicity to the doctrines of Marx, mixed indiscriminately with every variety of radicalism, native and lIIpoTteu WlIIl SuCn d1VerSlIy or aims little was accomplished, and it was with the hope of formulating definite programme that the Union for Struggle and committee of the Jewish Bund held their notable convention at Afinsk in 1898. From that meeting arose the So- ciai Democratic Working Mems Party. ''The professed aims of various groups at that conference have a familiar ring. One urged that labor seek complete hb- eration from the yoke of capital another broadly declared for immediate improve l ment of the condition of every working | man. a third frankly provided that the | mass of their adherents should not have 1 voice in the direction of the group i but rather should be disciplined by con- | tinuous agitation
 Once more Minsk figured in an in. 1 teresting chapter of Russia's economic
 history when Zubatev set two women tc l organize a labor party, among the Jews under police protection. Originally ar | agent provocateur, Zubatov, when pro.
 noted to high office among the poiitica
 police, undertook to organize laborint
 men 30 their growing discontent would

ENFORCEMENT WORK.

With the shifting of James Shevlin, the government prohibition enforcement officer who has been looking after the liquor violations in the New York dis trict, to another post and the replacing of him with Chief Boyd of the revenue department the metropolis has reason to wonder whether 1t is going to be changed from the condition of being more wide open than ever" in the way of booze or whether just one of those moves which threatens trouble but amounts to nothing has been made.
 Indications would seem to point to the fact that an effort was going to be made to clean up the city and that a new broom had been selected for the purpose. That Shevlin should be re- tafned in the service though shifted tc another point indicates that there was no sidestepping his duty in connection with the existing "wetter' than ever" conditions but that he didn't measure up to the size of the job. It remains to be seen whether his successor will and what different methods he will em. ploy to do so.
 But while there may seem to be ar effort to better conditions in tho me tropolis the mere changing of the en forcement officer there indicates only { local rather than a general undertaking And yet from the conditions that prevail in other and less populated localities i is evident that the whole work of en forcing the federal amendment must b. carried on along different lines if pro hibition is going to amount to any thing.
 As at present plenty of proof is avail able every day that those who main taned that prohibition could not be en forced were justified in their statements It is true that government force fo such work and the proper cooperatio from the 5tates cannot be obtained in
 minute, but when an effort is made t clean up New York it should not be over looked that there is similar need pre- vailing throughout ths country. Street
 and the police courts all show how we the season has been.

BOOSTING THE LIMIT.

Without having produced proof of his former claims, or in fact taken the trou- ble to personally appear and take ad- vantage of the opportunity that was af- forded him to tell the world under oath what he had been so glibly uttering from the political platform. Governor Cox gives way to more of his irrespon- sibls declarations and now says that the campaign fund which he alleges the republicans are raising to buy the pres idency amounts to s30, 100000 instead of s15. 900 .0o0.
 Just how when and where the in- crease took place he doesn't attempt tc say. In fact he is even less explicit in regard to the larger fund than he wal relative to the smaller one. Thus fai back up his claims and he doesn't say whether he is still multiplying by two ol by four or six
 Of course if he thinks that the figure. which have been given by the repuhh ran officials as the ones denoting the fund the party is undertaking to srais, should bs multiplied by six he vii be able 10 get somewhere clos Co his new total But he is still tryinl to feed the imagination of some of tn, people by dwelling on conditions whicl do not exist and which neither he no his representatives have been able tc come an where near proving.
 The new total, coming as it did whel the disclosure was made by the Main election that republican strength ha far exceeded expectations, may indicat the evident movement by trying to con vince the westerners by means of To cf unsupported statements that tn moon is made of green cheese. wha Maine thought of his s15,oo0, 900 clait Is well disclosed in the returns iron that state, and it is more than probabl that the west will steer for the side c safety and not be carried away with lot of au.gs tions which are foundation less
 At the rresent rate of progress fo the fund it will not require many week before it will be put up into the billior by the standard bearer of the demo cratic party.

THE RIGHT DECISION.

General endorsement will be given to the action of the policy committee of the anthracite miners in reaching the de- cision recommending the issuance of a proclamation to the men to the effect that they return to their work at once.
 The miners organization has approved the award. Under what amounts to the same thing as a strike the men are re- training from returning to their work and fulfilling the contract into which their organization. authorized to act for them, has entered. They have found that such a movement was useless in trying to sway the president into re- opening the award They have suc- ceeded in greatly reducing the produc- ton of coal but they have failed to profit thereby They have made the coa, users of the country face a serious sit. uation and paved the way for more money being exacted from them in order to keep warm the coming winter.
 The decision that the men should re turn to work at once is quite in accord with the action of the officials in accept ing the award. The attempt to force the president to get for them more thar the facts as presented to the comnis sion warrant Is plainly unjust and 1t is 10 be hoped that there is not involved "a tAA ~~snzzznAndatiaDz ek tA~ saAlinz

HOW THE PIPE ORGAN WAS IN1
 VIEWED

Once upon time a youth passing through a thicket cut a hollow reed and carelessly blowing into the end discov- cred that he was producing sound, a musical note.
 Cutting another reed he found sound again, but of different pitch, and by combining a number of tteAe reeds, aft CT probably many efforts, he evolved a set of perhaps an octave of consecutive tones, and thus developed what are now called Pans pipes, the first organ. Then someone discovered that the ad- din gof a mouthpiece made the blowing easier, and that instead of many tubes, one alone could be heightened or short ened by the use of finger holes, and go the shepherds pipe. The shepherd soon learned that by using pipe in each hand he could produce two tones at the same tiny, and here we have the begin | ming of harmony.
 The invention of the bellows. probably i in connection with the blacksmith s 1 forge, furnishing a means for obtaining more wind, made 1t possible to use larg- CT pipes and more of them, and in this have the foundation of the modern pipe with the addition of a Keyboard we organ.
 The organ of today has three depart ments-blowing plant, action and pipes The first usually consists of fan blow CT, the wind at a pressure of from four to ten inches by the water gauge, be- ing conveyed to the organ chest, a box of about eight feet in length containing the valves which admit the wind to tho pipes, which rest upon the top in double rows.
 The organ key desk contains ahe keys from two to five sets of five octave: each; the pedal keys, which are the bas. of the instrument and whlh are played by the feet; the stop knobs or tablets one for each row of pipes; the couplers
 for connecting the different keyboardt
