Some weeks ago the Kinds County
Gazette observed that Mississippi his
tory seemed to be repeating itself;
that the lamented Writ Adams. who an
state revenue agent, through the
courts, Sorced corporate tax dodgers
and violators OF the ANTITRUST laws to
cough up to the tune of millions OF
dollars, thereby lessening the bur
dens OF honest taxpayers, was abused
and slandered, just as Stokes Robert
son, the present state revenue agent,
is being abused and slandered by GER
tain newspapers OF corporate Tx, led
by that insolent organ of bloated plu'
tocracy. the Wall Street Journal OF
New York City-the paper that de-
nounced, in this connection, the laws

them as ignorant" stigmatized the
efforts OF a sworn state official to

pers, twenty-five years ago, literally
prosecuted State Revenue Agent
Adams into an official life tenure:
made him so popular with the great
tRxpaying masses-"who loved him
for the enemies he had made"-that
no man had the hardihood to contest
nominations with Mr.. Adams, who
died in the revenue agents office in
1914, honored and revered by the peo-
pie as a public benefactor
The courts-and 'for justice all

sustained Revenue Agent Adams,
just as they are sustaining Revenue
Agent Robertson, and We sincerely
hope that the expectations OF the
esteemed Beacon that certain news
papers will now open their flood gates
done on Revenue Agent Robertson"
will not materialize. The people Of
Mississippi elect their Judges and
Chancellors and an attack on the
courts by newspapers would be an at
tack on the sovereign people.
In this connection the following
time honored quotation seems not in
appropriate:
Here shall the press the peoples
rights maintain;
Unawed by influence and, unbribed by
gain;
Here patriot truth her glorious pre-
cepts draw;

the unfairness in the transaction
comes from Chile. that the Chilean
Government has not permitted the
plebiscite agreed upon and that II
has failed to keep the terms Of the
agreement.
The Chilean Foreign Minister, AN

tion to the Peruvian Government

calls II not a demand but rather an
Invitation to bring about "a
friendly solution Of this old prob
lem" He declares too that Chile is
animated by high spirit OF inter-
national harmony" and a sincere de-
sire to eliminate the causes which
have in the past disturbed the rela-
tions between these two countries.
1t Is doubtful II Peru takes this
altruistic view Of Chile's intention.
There is no question, however, but
that this half century old dispute
should be adjusted, for as long as it
is unsettled il remains a menace to

Power of Human Hands.

To THE New York HERALD: rs. T. G."
asks il there are flowers or plants that
cease growing or die when touched by
the human hand. The correspondent
puts the case rather too strongly.
There are several plants whose flower
petals or leaves close or show disturb.
ance when touched by the hand or when
suddenly Jared. One of these, a mi
mosa, may be seen at the Botanical
Garden. Ordinarily its leaves stand out
firmly; but when touched the stems
droop and the opposite leaves fold over
the stem upon each other. The odor Of
chloroform causes them to regain their
normal position.
Unfortunately an opposite course is
required in the case of various street
speaking nuisances. They require to be
chloroformed to make them shut up.
A few weeks ago an unkempt, beefy
specimen OF human junk was delivering
his harangue near Broadway on a side
street. After an offensive remark a
young man, evidently a soldier, ap-
preached the speaker with the warning
Of That's enough from you" There
upon he gave the speaker a couple of
wallops that put an end to his efforts

The Marshal's Hosts.

Now that the guest has departed
it is not amiss to say something
about his hosts. Marshal FocH came
to the United States upon the invi-
tation of the American Legion, whose
members had served under the Gen
eralissimo. For more than six weeks
the young veterans kept their former
commander on the go. And yet,
when New York had officially seen
the last of the Marshal and he left
the City Hall yesterday morning,
there was not in the admiring crowd
face which showed more vigor and
healthful color than FERDINAND FocH's
own ruddy countenance.
To press forward for six weeks
through the reception trenches and
under the barrage Of luncheons and
dinners is no light work for man
past threescore and ten, even when
he has a soldiers training. And
while making allowance for the
Marshal's own wonderful powers it
is obvious that much of the success
of the memorable visit was due to
the Legion's board of friendly STRAIT
egy. Just as FoCH planned in
France to save the men of the La
gion, so they planned here to save
him. Their success was remarkable.
They entertained their guest mar
vellously," to use his own word. The
country should be thankful to them
and their allies in hospitality for
doing so well with their distin-
guished charge.

Pennsylvania Woman Voters.

After a discussion enlivened at
times by spirited debate the Pennsyl-
vania League OF Women Voters, at
a convention held in Wilkesbarre,
reached conclusions as to it's future
action which once more demon
strated the inherent level headed
good sense of the feminine voters.
There was strong pressure, particu-
larly from the Pittsburgh delega-
tion, to commit the league to policy
of indorsing major candidates for
political Offices. This course was
opposed on the ground 1t would in
evitably give partisan cast to the
organization.
Rejecting this proposal, the league
voted to devote itself exclusively to
the purposes for which it was or
ganized, namely, the advancement OF
political education among women.
All partisan proposals or expressions
were vigorously excluded from it's
programme. It's members are left
absolutely free to cast their votes for
the candidates who to them seem to
promise best for the public interest.
The only concession made to the per-
sistent effort to commit the conven-
tion to policy of indorsing candi-
dates was to concede that where a
county unit of the league decided by
a two-thirds majority to indorse some
candidate for Office this course would
be permitted.
The women OF the Pennsylvania
league are to be congratulated on the
soundness of their decision and the
broad grasp OF their judgment in
seizing what was best and eschewing
what was less desirable for their in
terests as distinct group of voters.
And the congratulations do not stop
with the league. They go to the entire
State of Pennsylvania, for 1t is the
State that is to be the great gamer
by having so intelligent an addition
to its electorate.

-is used IN the manufacture of cheap
shaving brushes. 1t has also been shown
that domestic horsehair is probably not
medium of infection. An appeal to the
public to purchase only certain kinds of
brushes would be of little or no practical
value. except possibly at the time of an
anthrax scare, for the public will buy
any article offered for SALE Besides the
persons who procure the cheap variety
or brushes would not be deferred from
obtaining the least expensive article. It
is pertinent to ask why the sale of GER
tain brushes regarded as a menace to
health is permitted.
An attempt to deal effectively with the
situation by State and municipal regula-
tions alone would not only place an un-
fair responsibility upon departments of
health but would In the end prove a
failure. for IL contaminated horsehair
Is admitted Into this country no State or
municipal regulation in the way of In

to prevent the danger Of infection from
this source; Furthermore, State and mu-
nicfpal regulations would not insure uni
form measures Of prevention throughout
the United States; besides they would
Involve. through inspection and other
official acts, a large public expense and
In various ways would disturb business

On the other hand, the prevention of
danger from anthrax transmitted by Inn
ported horsehair lies in the hands of the
Federal Government. It can be success
fully dealt with only by Federal regu-
lation which prohibits the admission of
imported horsehair into the United
States altogether. or which requires the
disinfection or other necessary treatment
of this material at the port OF departure
or at points where the material is pre-
pared for shipment under personal OBJ
servation Of a representative of this
Government, or finally the erection OF
efficient disinfecting plants at our own
ports of entry under competent inspec-
tion and control.
As the result OF personal observation

Chile's Dispute With Peru.

The revival of the old South
American dispute over the Pacific
coast provinces of Tacna and africa
has been brought about by the pro
posal of the Chilean Co rnment to
advance the time of the plebiscite
provided by the treaty of Ancon. 1t
is three sided controversy, in which
Peru and Chile are the principals
and Bolivia highly interested third
party. The controversy really had
it's inception in 1879, when the seiz-
ure of the Bolivian port of Antofa-
gasta by Chile brought on the war
between Peru and Chile. Although
the war officially ended in 1888 the
causes which led to it have endured
to the present time periodically to en-.
danger the peace of South America.
Under the terms of the treaty Bo.
livia's seacoast with the port of
Antofagasta and its rich mineral
fields passed to Chile. The province
of Tarapaca was surrendered by Peru
to Chile in perpetuity and the prov.
inces OF Tacna and africa for a pc
riod of ten years, upon the expiration
of which the inhabitants were to be
allowed to decide by vote whether
they should remain under Chilean
rule or resume their place in Peru.
The treaty further provided that
Bolivia should be recompensed for
the loss of her port by having free
access to the sea, the right to estab.
lish custom houses at certain Chill
can ports and by the construction of
a railway by Chile from africa to
La Paz.
Chile has fulfilled her treaty obliga-
tions to Bolivia. Chileans have in.
vested considerable capital In the de-
velopment of Bolivian mines and they
have endeavored to increase the com
mercial and business relations be.
tween the two nations. Bolivia has
smarted under the loss Of her terri
tory and the question of reclamation
has been one OF the most important
in her national politics. There has
been strong feeling aroused through
a propaganda, which the Chileans be-
lieve was directed from Peru, against
Chile. An incident OF this was a
demand made by Bolivia at Geneva
for revision OF the Chilean treaty.
The whole effect of this has been to
fortify Peru in her opposition to Chile
and TO revive her interest in the
provinces of Tacna and africa.
The Chileans say that the Peru
vians have acted unfairly in the con.
tested territory, that they have ere.
ated discord and dissatisfaction by
their propaganda and that the agita-
tion which resulted has compelled the
