IT is encouraging to note how quick
ly our Northern fellow citizens are
learning to deal with the Communists.
Every scrap of law that bears on the
outrages taught and practiced by the
Socialists, is being brought to bear,
and we are not so sure that the late
outbreak in Chicago has not done more
good than harm. OF course we
must all regret the sacrifice of brave
and faithful officials, but the other re-
suits + exceedingly valuable. All
the insane teachings and the ami
nus of the Socialists have been
thoroughly exposed, and in Chicago,
the authorities have demonstrated how
entirely capable they are to put them
down when they go beyond bounds.
At first the Socialists we're full of
threats and desperation but having
had a brush with the authorities, they
are quite anxious to walk within legal
limits. 1t is safe to assume this
particular organization of deviltry will
never amount to much in this country.

THE THIRD TERN BUSINESS
AGAIN.

The race in the Seventh District is
growing so warm that a correspondent
of the Jackson Mi%ssissippian is trying
to wiring in the third term business on
Major Barksdale. We print what he
has to say, that our readers in that
District may see it, but we repeat what
we have said before, it is not our eight.
Editor New Mississippian;
Many of US here are surprised by the
announcement, in the Jackson papers,
that Major E. Barksdale is a candidate
for e.election to Congress.
He is now serving his second term,
and from his oft-asserted fierce opposi-
ton to "third terms" and rock ribbed
belief in "~rotation in Office" most Of
us down in this part of the District,
who have thought of the matter at all,
have never considered him as a candi-
date for the succession. He must
transgress his whole past record if he
is really a candidate. How is it posi-
BILE for him to be consistent and yet
seek a third term. Having twice tasted
the sweets of Congressional honor, is
he willing to throw consistency and
all his phillipics against third terms to
the winds in order to "get there" again :
After all, is everything he has written
and spoken in the past in favor OF
rotation in office" only meant to ap-
ply to some other fellow? That he of
all men, the Warwick of the Bourbons,
should seek a third term is almost be-
You'd belief.
1t is not likely that the people of the
Seventh District will hesitate between
him and the gallant Hooker, who lost
an arm in defense of his country, and
who served his District and State so
creditably in the Halls of Congress.
This is the sentiment of
