those who work with a will and in
the spirit of hope and cheer The
people who stand in the path ol
progress and adversely criticise
every improvement are disloyal
to the best interests of the place.

What a field there is in Miss
issippi for (he home producer,
says the Columbus Commercial,
Everything with but a few ex
ceptions that we eat has advanced
in price. Think of it, butter 4(J
cents per pound, eges 30 cents
now, and liable to advance any
day. Meat and lard are almost be
yond the reach of people in mod
erate circumstances. There seems
to he but one way cut of this
dilemma, and that is for more
people to engage in raising hogs,
cows and chickens; when these
producers materialize then we
may hope for living to be cheap
er. There never was a finer op
portunity for the farmer who di
versifies, raises hogs, cows and
fowis, than now. It is ag iat pity
that more Mi^sissippiaDS could
not realize the advantages offer
ed in this way to make money,
and set to work to take advant
age of the opportunity.
The electiott on the 8th, de
veloped that tine Democratic pirly
is not withoat»ig, brainy, honest
leaders, men have honor and
capacity to i^B^igeutly govern
this country ^Freturn it to the
landmarks frwf which the Re
publican parly has lured it.
Amoug these leaders are Gov.
Harmon of Ohio, Gov. John A.
Dix, of New York, Gov. Wood
row Wilson of New Jersy, Gov.
Eugene Foss of Massachusetts
and Gov. 8imeon Baldwin of
Connecticut. The ability and in
tegrity of these men was recog
nized by the people of their res
pective States by electing them
to the highest positions within
their gift.
Wilson, Dix, Foss and Baldwin
redeemed states that had for
years been in the Republican
column and were apparently fix
ed there for years to come. Gov.
Harmon redeemed Ohio two years
ago, and his second election is an
endorsement by his fellow-citi
zens of the manner in which be
discharged the duties of his high
office.
with these strong characters
in office—enjoying as they do the
confidence of their constituents,
there sbonld be no trouble in the
Democratic party selecting from
among them in 1912 candidates
for President and Vice President
who will carry into national af
fairs the good work of 1910 in the
States. Not ffcr years has the par
ty been so solidly united as now,
and factional fights and petty
bickerings should not be allowed
to enter in and disturb this harm
ony. The people of the whole
country are now looking to the
Democratic party for relief from
the burdenB which have been
heaped upon ^bem by the Repnb'
licaiis. Brstwaile'party leaders—
those who Jhave led the party to
defeat in three successive nation
al campaigns—should heed this
appeal coming up from the coun
try, and lend their support and
influence +o those who have
brought the party of Thomas Jef
ferson out of chaos and restored
it to the confidence of the masses.
If they will do this, the election
of 1912 wi!i be a greater victory
tor Democracy and Jeffersonian
government than was the one of
November 8, 1910.—Yazoo City
Herald.
Surplus Women.
Bo ton has a surplus of women
and she doesn’t know what to do
with them. The Women’s Home
stead Association, a local organi
zation of‘hat city, has been figur
ing on what to do with its over*
plus of femininity, and has adopt
ed and sent to the leading men of
Massachusetts the following reso
lutions:
“What shall we do with the
surplus women of the country;
aid them by obtaining home
steads; pension the surplus wo
men for whom there is do demand;
establish State and national
matrimonial bureaus?
“Legalize plural marriages or
shoot off the surplus women as
old horses when they can no
longer pull their wagons?—Clar
ion-Ledger.
Prince Henry of Prussia has
qualified as an aerial pilot, being
