James K. Vardaman has always taught and practiced de-
mocracy in its truest sense. He has urged at all times that the
electors take part in every election and has urged that every law
shall be based upon the wishes of the people who are to be gov
erned by the law. He has always commended that no Govern
ment was so safe, so wise and so just as that
government which rested upon the consent of the
governed. In his message as governor of Mississippi, in all his
public speeches, and in his addresses in the United Staes Senate
has always held to the theory that the best government
was the government which was closest to the people. In a mes
sage to the people of Mississippi on May 18th, 1918, he expressed
his belief in democracy and his faith in the citizen in these words:
"There is no man whose judgment and wisdom
equals the composite judgment of the white citi-
zenry of Mississippi; and free government cannot
- last very long anywhere unless it has for its foun-
dation freedom Of speech, liberty of thought and
freedom of action. Alt the just powers of govern
ment in a republic must be derived from the con-
sent of the governed if the republic shall live"
It naturally follows that a mar holding these views would be
impeled by the logic of his own sentiment to favor woman suf-
frage, for no man coud deny to half the citizens of his country
the right to participate ain the governmnt solely on account Of
the accident of sex. Women are required to pay taxes and obey
the laws, it but an act of elementary justice that they should
be permitted to participate in government exactly as other citi-
zens.

CHILD

Senator vardaman has probably done more for the enact
ment of laws forbidding child labor than any other Mississp-
plan. He began this fight as Governor of Mississippi. In his
message to the Legislature in 1906, he recommended a law regu-
lating the age and hours of child labor blouse Journal 1906,
page 81. He repeated this recommendation in. 1908, and de-
ivered a stronger message blouse Journal 1908, pages 45-46).
In 1903 he recommended the creation of an office for the
purpose of inspecting factories where children and women are
employed (House Journal 1908, page 46). This recommendation
has been carried out in later years, and we now have a State
Child Labor Law, and a system of factory inspection.
As a member of the United States Senate, he advocated and
voted for the National Child Labor Law. His speech in favor of
this law will be found in the Congressional Record, Vol. So,
pages 12, 22O-12, 22a. So splepdid was his speech that The Com
mercial Appeal, of Memphis, Tennessee, commended it in an
editorial. This paper said, in part:
Senator vardaman of Mississippi has come IN
to the clear. His splendid defense of the National
Child Labor Bill certainly rebounds to his credit.
On the contrary, the opposition offered by Senator
Lee Slater Overman, of North Carolina, is most
discreditabe. The reason that he opposes the bill
is obvious; North Carolina is a state of cotton mills,
and because of the cheapness of child labor, the
mill manufacturers turn themselves into Child
Snatchers, and take little les as soon as they are
able to walk, and thrust them into the mills.
There re cotton mills in Mississippi employ
ing child labor, but Senator vardaman was big
enough, humane enough, man enough to put his
fingers N the lobby and declare himself for the
children of Mississippi.
The South today applauds the action of Missis-
sippis Junior Senator. Such men mea the regener-
alton of the South "
Throughout his entire career as a public official, Senator
Vardaman has been outspoken and aggressive in his efforts to
secure laws for the protection and benefit of the children of the
land. No proposals made in the interest of the children ever
failed to receive his active support; and since the Supreme Court
of the United States has declared the Child Labor Law invalid,
the fight must go on, and we want true, aggressive representa-
tives on guard to protect the little children.

Life Of a Five Dollar Bill.

Paper money wears out rapidly and
has to be replaced frequently. The
life of S5 note, for example, Is on
the average about ten months. and In
New York city is about two months
less than the average, owing mainly
to The more rapid rate at which 1t
circulates. This same tendency is seen
in the higher rate at which bank de-
posits turn over In New York city
than In other parts of the country. :.
The work of keeping the paper cur
rency IN good condition is done very
largely by the Federal Reserve banks
which in the course of their daily bus
mess handle all forms of currency and
coin, eliminating that which Is unfit
for further circulation. This service Is
a large item In their annual costs OF
operation. Last year, for instance the
supply of currency and coin caused an
expenditure at the Federal Reserve
Bank Of New York amounting to about
$2,S75,OOO of which somewhat more
than one-third represented the cost
of printing new Federal Reserve cur
rency to replace worn notes In cir
culation and to Increase supplies un-
issued and on hand.-Federal Reserve

A BIG BRIDGE.

Plans are being made for the biggest
bridge in the world, which will be over
the Hudson at New York city. These
lans call for single span of three thou
sand feet without pier in the river from
the center of the city to Weehawk n,
New Jersey. The bridge will be hung on
four immense cables suspended from ter
minal towers 685 feet high, or 1870 feet
higher than Washington Monument, and
will be $50 feet above the water. The
proposed bridge will contain 45O, 900 tons
of steel. The towers will cover base
area of 200 by 400. The towers will be of
steel skeletonry covered with masonry.
The masonry will not be for addedstrength
but to protect the steel, as it will cost less
than to keep the steel painted. Corrosion
is the great enemy of steel in this climate,
and to prevent this it must be protected
by metal or paint. As providing some
estimates as to what the latter protection
would cost, it can be stated that thirty
painters are constantly employed on the
great Firth of Forth bridge in Scotland.
It takes from three to for years for this
crew to paint the bridge, and when they
reach one end they 60 back and begin or
the other. The cables to support thu
new bridge will be twelve feet in diane
ter encased in bronze shells. 1t will taxi
fifteen years to build this bridge.

UNDER THE OPEN SKY.
From The Northern


Can any man, who has had the expert
ence, ever forget how strangely he has
felt before now, as he lay before the open
fire of blazing Logo under the open sky of
night2 What peculiar fascination in gaz-
ing into that glowing depth! What COM
fort it affords, what a sense of personal
well-being takes possessionI Now if you
Just remember that there was time when
our ancestors knew nothing of kindling
fire, and reflect upon the fact that they
ate their food raw, that they endured the
cold without fires, and worst of all, that
they.huddled and crouched together in the
darkness of night in livid horror of "the
terror that walketh in Darkness" you can
sense anew what it must have meant
when some genius among them learned
how to make fire. How the primitive
man must have laughed at the raging ele-
ments without when he first shut himself
up and warmed some kind of an abode by
kindling fire. The thrill of triumph was
mighty one, for it reaches clear across
the ages and tingles within US of winter
evening. What protection the illumina-
tion afforded him against his brute ene-
mics! Did you ever reflect upon the fact
that man, excepting the dog and cat which
learned to share it in companionshp with
man, is the only animal which enjoys the
the heat of a fire2 All animals, will es-
pecially, fear to approach fire. So STREET
ched at ease before the fire we live over
again for the moment the comfort, the
sense of security. which our ancestors en-
joyed in the discovery and use of fire for
warmth and protection.

US. Let the man who never camped out
say. give me good room and comfort
able bed for mine. You and who have
heard the call and have gone forth on
quest have walked the forest isles with
the ancient Spirits of the Mighty, and
have held communion before the glowing
Goals with that wisdom which conquered
the elements by wits, the savage beast
with bare hands, disease by his life.

LIBERTY BONDS.

At first glance the statement recently
issued by the United States Treasury De.
partment sounds curious. Most people
have the impression that all one has to
do is to say money, and a crowd will
gather and tumble over each otherln an
effort to get some of it. The statement
alluded to is to the effect that a great
many owners of Liberty bonds have fail
ed to cash their coupons, and that inter-
est now due to the amount of $8S. 00O, 600
is ia the hands of the government. Specu-
lation is rife as to why such a condition
exists. There are probably several rea-
sons. The most probable OF these is that
these bonds were sold TO all classes CT
people. MANY of them knew nothing
about bonds nor how to collect the in
terest. Many of ethe bonds were in
small denominations bought more espec
tally as a donation to the government,
laid by and forgotten.
