ro LESS DISCUSS POLITICS.

1t is and has for some months
past, almost in unanimity, been
suggested by the state press that
politics be less discussed and that
the material advancement and
bettermcnt of Mississippi be the
subject for material to fill the
enormous editorial space the state
commands weekly.
The suggestion is wise and one
that can meet with naught but
golden frultlon. This way Of stir
ring to create long campaigns be-
nefits no one, and if anybody, it is
the politician who on this folly
rides into Office and tho press
not only out Of its time and labor,
but the general reader is cheated
and the state deprived Of the care
that it can lay claim to since the
press is the exponent and repre-
sentative Of the commonwealth.
Ingratitudeis in human nature,
and true indeed it would be diff
cult TO locate a more ungrateful
set of men as a whole than those
VINO pursue politics. Onooin of
flee the thing belongs to them;
their conceiL and self esteem is
their trade mark, and this is inn
placuble to a short while prior to
the ousting time.
The press now knows what the
past has taught it, the press feels
the duty incumbent in behalf of
the people and the country, and
now on the right path, with that
work only the Mississippi press
can accomplish, much can be ex-
pected. Less politics, please.
