TO TRY AGAIN.

II congress desires a new baptism Of criticism II
will be in fair way to receive it IL it shows signs o.
adopting the census eommittese bill for reapportion-
ment Of membership of that body. The whole sub
ject was deemed threshed out and settled In January
when this same committees' bill to increase the men,
bership from 435 to 4ss was defeated and the pres
et membership retained.
The measure. unfortunately was caught in the SEN
ate jam at the close of the late session and the census
committee has come forward with a new bill calling
for an increase Of twenty-five members instead Of
forty-eight-
The same objections exist at this time ~ were ad-
vaneed in January. The unwieldiness of the house
even as it is today not to mention the extra cost Of a
million dollars q year.
There has been sufficient demonstration In the short
session to prove to the country the Inability OF the
house to handle itself and despatch legislation with
anything like alacrity; and with 435 members there
is ample representation Of all sections of the nation.
In fact the present membership is far too large and
would be better reduced to half the number. There
might be an improvement in quality in a lesser num-
ber, for the country reached the conclusion in the
former argument that congressional jobs should be
made SO scarce that they would become Of higher
value and sought after by n higest class Of ability.
The signal for another general assault viii be when
the census committees bill is reported out

AN OLD INCONVENIENCE.

The Lander Post calls attention to the unsuitability
of Cheyenne, located in the extreme southeastern cor.
ner of the state, as the state capital. The Post, OF
course, is presenting nothing new but it is calling at
tention to an old outrage that should have been rem.
edied long ago. and will be remedied no doubt in less
years than any of US at present believe.
If Lander des;res the capital it is entirely welcome
to it. At that it would be no whit more inconvenieni
of location than Cheyenne is at present.
Some day the people of the northern end of the
state will decline to travel something like three hun
dred miles through three states to reach their state
capital, and then they will start something and the
capital will be moved to some point near the central
portion accessible to the people of all sections
Whenever anybody feels inclined to move on the
works, there are enough votes in the northern and
central portions of the state to carry the proposition
hands down.
Anybody desiring a state capital, speak up.

LoosENs uP CHICAGO cNsrRucrIoN.

Whatever may be said OF Judge Lands holding the
two positions, federal judge and baseball umpire. we
can find no fault with still another position he filed
recently as arbitrator in the deadlock between en-
ploying contractors and their men in the Chicago
building trades. He was successful in satisfying both
sides as nearly as an arbitrator could.
bis decision releases sixty million dollars worth of
building operations and permits their completion and
sets twenty-five thousand idle men at work, and af-
feets fifty thousand already employed.
The findings, SO far as wages are concerned, are that
the facts Justify reduction in wages from 10 to SO per
cent. Masons are cut from SLIPS to S1.I0 an hour.
Eight skilled crafts are given less than IS cents an
hour and ten crafts in the laboring class will receive
70 cents an hour.
The rules designed to establish a monopoly, to d.
minish production by each man, and to multiply jobs
have been cancelled.
Judge Lands is sympathetic to union labor yet he
was compelled to tell the organizations wherein they
were wrong. No more did he hesitate when he came
to deal with the contractors.
The important points determined by Judge Lands
are:
The opening of the Chicago territory and the use
by union workers of both urion and nonunion made
building materials.
Prohibition Of strikes and lockouts.
An invitation to all contractors and employers not
members OF the builders associations to partake in the
benefits of the award by the payment OF the same fees
as members of the various organizations. '
Prevention of discrimination against any employer,
whether a party to the agreement or not.
Prohibition of restrictions on the amount of work
any one man might do.
The settling of the overtime question. q
Judge Lands has done n great work for the city of
Chicago and a still greater work for the men and the
employers. It will have a large local appreciation and
viii serve as an example elsewhere.

THE LAMB on YOUR SHOULDER.

There is an ancient Tamil story" remarks the
New York Post, -about a man who wandered through
the jungle looking for a lamb that he had over his
shoulder. The Bengalese have a proverb about cry
ing a child through the town when it is in the nurses
lap And the Scotch say: fYe're like the. man that
sought his horse, and him on its back Innumerable
are the forms in which man has said to himself that
he spends his life looking ca.aorously for that which
is within his grasp, or already within himself, waiting
only to be used.
The boys and girls are going to school and college
these days looking for something that someone else is
to give them If only someone could tell each one of
them once for all that that which he seeks is on his
own shoulder; that what he wants in the way of
knowledge, equipment, success, is his for the taking
that he already is riding the horse that will carry him
through
"Most men can look back to those days in their boy
hood when they let opportunity slir through their
fingers and never caught up again. Just now, as the
son or daughter steps out into the larger life of school,
q wise parent might hand out a bit of this experience
and give just the necessary flip to snap the young
ster into a real enthusiasm; to awaken his realization
of the fact that he has been expecting someone else
to give him.

THE -HoME BREW. PERU.

There is no question in congress of iegalizing home
rev, says the New York Evening Post. It will and
should remain illegal. Anyone openly making it or
~boasting of making it will be liable to fine or Jail.
But the house. led by Mr.. volstead. acts wisely in re-
fusing to make the prohibition enforcement agents q
set of house raiders. In large part it simply recog-
nizes an accepted state Of affairs. Everyone knows
that even where the local police whole-heartedly CO.
operate in enforcement there has been little effort to
stop home brewing for home consumption. The en-
forcement Of the eighteenth amendment should be
kept IS simple as possible, especially at first To stop
all illegal importations, to prevent the manufacture of
stills, to shut up all bootegged establishments, to end
the transportation and sale of intoxicants-these are
the main objects.
Some congressman have undoubtedly reasoned also
that home brew has been taken too seriously. Oppon-
ents of prohibition tried to make men believe that
every cellar would have its outfit and that abolition of
the groggeries would mean wholesale self poisoning.
There has been much less home brewing than they or
the cartoonists suggest. Many men have found it in
terestng to make home brew-once. After spending
large sums for materials, after making the house
smell like a yeast factory, after breaking pottery and
spelling clothes. after endless labor, they decanted a
nauseous liquor. If their zeal persisted, they found
their wives taking the role of Carrie Nations. Con-
gress and the enforcement agents will do well to con-
centrate upon the really important objects of prohi-
bition.

MEN, o GODS.

A symptom of the worldwide temper Of the times
is the imperial decision in Japan to let the people
cheer and applaud along the streets of Toxic when
the crown prince returns from his foreign journey, as
serts the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
In the old days, so sacrosanct was the person of the
emperor that the death penalty might be inflicted on
one who SO much as gazed upon the binding majesty
of the Son of Heaven. The multitude was supposed,
after a solemn official warning, to scamper out of the
path of the royal progress and remain indoors until
the vehicle conveying the supernal one had passed.
Now all that is changed. The prince, who wore a
bowler and a sack suit and attended public meetings
and was entertained in European ways, is returning to
the Island Empire caring a good deal less to be en-
throned on high like an image in a shrine. Apparently
he would rather be ensconced in the affections of the
multitude. One can imagine him sending a message
to his father urging a reception suitable for a human
being and not for a god.
So many serious blows have been dealt the theory
OF the divine right OF kings that it is not surprising
to find the imperial proclamation includes the phrase,
"Disregarding all the ancient customs" Being a god
is a mighty lonesome business.

WONDERS.

II we are to believe the high professors of chem
istry and physics we are about to enter an era Of won
derful development in science in which the suns
light, the tides, the earths rotation and the atomic
energy of ordinary matter will be transmitted to an
extent never dreamed of in our young philosophy.
Some of the predicted accomplishments ofthe near
future are:
Conversion of the solar rays-now wasted energy
to %supplant the d~windling supplies Of coal, petroleum
and other sources of present energy.
Production Of "cold light" ouch as is seen in the
FREELY, making possible an enormous decrease in the
power necessary for lighting purposes.
Increased yields in chemical ~synthesis by a better
utilization of the possibilities OF catalytic action-the
acceleration of reactions by substances which them
selves remain unchanged.
Methods Of causing rain-clouds to precipitate-
Increased development Of tidal po1 er in favorable
locations.
Wider employment of the energy of the earth's ro-
tation, thus far used only in the application of the
gyroscope.
All possible and all readily believable, in the light
OF the Developments of the last hundred years. The
things TESTED at within the time mentioned are the
everyday servants of mankind today. With all the
seeming perfection of the automobile and airplane we
are simply in the first stages of their perfec.ing.
More especially in the matter of power are we in
the infant period.
The use of coal and the products CT oil to supply
energy will one day appear as crude as firing the first
> locomotive with wood to produce steam.

MRS. L. A. SMITH ANNOUNCES
FOR CITY TREASURER

Mrs. L. A. Smith authorizes The
Sentinel to place her name before the
voters of the City of Grenada as a
candidate for the Office Of City Treas
urer.
Mrs. Smith has long been a resident
of Grenada and vicinity. She has
reached the four score mark and it
would seem that anything The Senti-
mel might say in formally placing
her name among the list of candi-
dates would be work of superorga-
tion. She has always been credited
with unusual energy and industry, and
it goes without saying that she has
tried to meet life's duties and obi
cations in the light of quickened
conscience and as she interpreted the
facts. Mrs. Smith thinks that the Of
flee she seeks is one that lady can
fill just as we'll as a man and she
asks the consideration of Grenada
voters. Should she be chosen the
city funds would be in safe hands.

ALBERT z. HOOD
DIES IN MEMPHIS.

The remains of A. E. Hood, who
died Tuesday morning at three
O'Clock at his residence in Memphis
were brought to Grenada Tuesday on
train number and interment was
had at Odd Fellows Cemetery after
services conducted by Rev. r. A.
Tucker. Mr.. Hood had been i'll for
some time with pneumonia and ev.
cry effort was made to save his life,
but to no avail.
Some years ago he and his excel
lent wife made their home in Gren-
ada but they moved from here to
Memphis. Mr.. Hood had been for a
long time in the employ Of the
Illinois Central Railroad Co., and had
made an excellent record for faithful
and efficient service. He was cheer
full, accommodating and obliging in ev
cry respect and was a devoted and
loyal friend. Besides his wife, he
leaves other relatives to mourn his
loss. He leaves also a host of
friends who join with The Sentinel
in extending sympathy to his distress
ed wife and other sorrowing ones.

$500 GOLD DRAWING LAST
SATURDAY DRAWS CROWD

The Big $500. Gold Distribution,
consisting of Six Christmas Gifts, was
had in Grenada Christmas Eve after
noon just as advertised. A big
thrOng surrounded the box in which
the tickets were placed. 1t was an
anxious time. Nearly every one of
the great big crowd had tickets for
coupons in the box: All were curious
for the first number to be taken out.
Each and every one sorter felt that
he or she had hunch that thew might
be the fortunate one.> Just somehow
there fingers with everybody enough
of hope to believe that the will "get
there first" Hope is wonderful word.
1t carries a world of impulse and of
inspiration 1t keeps humanity ami
mated. 1t keeps them looking for
ward instead of looking backward. Of
course there was no one who would
not have been glad to have had one
or more of the Christmas Gifts so
thoughtfully arranged by the mer-
chants in the enterprise and The
Grenada Sentinel In these days of
debts and of few dollars, a few ex-
ira dollars 'picked up" amount to as
much as several hundred few years
ago. These merchants and The SEN
tinel put on the Gold Contest be-
cause they appreciated that money
was short, and because that they felt
that few dollars out of the pockets
of each one of them would go long
towards encouraging their friends
and customers. The Contest turned
out well for the merchants and The
Sentinel. 1t cost not single one
who had tickets in the box a single
