Law enforcement.

There is no use to have laws unless
they are enforced. The non-enforce-
ment of one law breeds contempt for
others, and soon the disregard of the
fundamental as we'll as the statutory
laws becomes widespread. If the law
officers of the Commonwealth State,
county and municipal-would all pull
together for the rigid enforcement of
the laws aud all of them, and all good
people would support them, lawlessness
would soon be minimiZed. Good laws
ought to be enforced for the good that
would result from their enforcement;
and Grant we'll said that the surest
way to get bad law repealed was by
its rigid enforcement. But the law of
cannot enforce the laws as they should
be without the cooperation of the peo-
pie. If the people are Indifferent as to
the punishment of certain infractions
of the law, then the law officers, and
even the courts themselves, are impo-
tent to get the best results under the
constitutional and statute laws of the
Commonwealth.
Why does the blind tiger flourish in
many communities in the State ? 1t is
simply because the people in such COM
munities want him to flourish, or at
least will do nothing to prevent his
prosperity. They are in favor of the
S lie of liquors, or at least they indulge
in the purchase of them, and consider
it no part of their business to inform
on the seller. Some of them commit,
according to law officers, perjury of the
rankest sort, and yet for such perjury
they are not indicted. There seems to
be sort of bond of interest between
the blind tiger and his patrons, and the
grand juries and the district attorneys
and the courts, in many places in the
State, are utterly helpless to vindicate
the laws. This is the result of an in
different public opinion. 1t is the cul-
mination of purpose, either openly or
secretly held, not to do anything to en-
force the laws against blind tigers, and.
in some instances, to do everything to
defeat the enforcement of such laws.
The laws against the selling or giving
away of liquors on election days are
openly violated, it is said by those who
ought to know. In fact, liquor is said
to be one of the main electioneering
cards in primaries. And it is just as
much against the law to use liquor at
primaries as it is to use it at regular
election.
1t is astonishing to hear of the extent
to which liquor is said to be used in
elections. This is sad commentary
on State which, by vote of the peo-
pie, has outlawed the legal sale of in
toxicants In some sixty five of her sew
sntg five counties. Picayune's Missis-
sippi Bureau.

Mississippi and the Worlds Fair

"ISSiSSippi anu tHc "oTlu > air
The Mississippi Worlds Fair auxil-
larry committee is composed of the fol-
lowing well-known former residents of
the State: Upton NJ. Young, president;
Leroy B. Valiant, John T. Bryson, Mar
Gus Bernheimer, Oscar johnson and
John III. Williams. At recent meet
ing of the committee resolution was
drafted addressed to the Legislature
urging proper provision for a credit
able Mississippi display at st. Louis.
When the Legislature meets in Jan
uary this address will be presented by
a delegation including President D. r.
Francis and other prominent members
of the Commission. Judging from the
tone of the State press and the express
sions of individual members of the
Legislature, there will be favorable
request for Mississippi exhibit.
There is an especial historical appro-
priateness for Mississippis represent
alton in the exposition in celebration
of the Louisiana Purchase. The first
white settlers in the bounds of the
State were under the French flag, and
the colonial government, whose capitol
was New Orleans. By conquest of
Great Britain what was afterwards
named the Mississippi Territory passed
from the rule of the French forty years
before the Louisiana purchase, in 1908,
to be united under one flag again, by
conquest, in the Revolutionary War, as
Spanish land. Twenty years more and
two flags waved over the lower valley
the Spanish transfer of the Natchez
country to the United States being eff
fected in 1898. This was only the pre-
Jude to the decree of destiny that so
soon again brought together all of the
people of the lower valley under the
the Stars and Stripes.
The cession of Louisiana Purchase
was made to the Governor of Missis-
sippi lClaiborne) as Commissioner for
the Federal Government. With an es-
cort of Mississippi soldiers he set out
from Natchez and proceeded to New
Orleans, where the final transfer of
sovereignty was effected. Gov. Clai-
borne acted as Executive of the two
Territories until Congress- year later
provided for separate administra-
tiopS Tn yiaw Of tho bonds of cucb q
close relationship between the early
settlers and their descendants, and of
the prominence of Mississippi in the
great event of the Purchase, it would
be singular indeed if she were not
prominently represented at the ST.
Louis Exposition in celebration of it's
hundredth anniversary. - Vicksburg

MISSISSIPPI AT THE ST. LOUIS
EXPOSITION.

Elsewhere is published an interest
ing article from the vicksburg Herald
ia regard to the relation Mississippi
sustains to the Louisiana Purchase
and the st. Louis Exposition Of 1908.
The LEADER is warmly in favor of
liberal appropriation by the Legisla-
ture at its approaching session to have
Mississippi creditably represented at
st. Louis. In fact, considering the
magnificent resources Mississippi pos
sesses and the opportunity thus afford
ed of advertising her advantages before
the world, it would be decidedly mig
gardly and short sighted policy that
would dictate otherwise.
Compared with her sister States,
Mississippi has already suffered in
reputation for enterprise and progress
i've spirit in matters of this character,
and it should certainly not be allowed
TO occur again on the present occasion
when the opportunity for a highly
creditable exhibit and the advantages
to be derived therefrom are so much
greater than ever before. We are con-
fident Governor Lougino appreciates
the Importance of an appropriation
large enough to have our States re-
sources properly represented, and we
hope the Legislature will be animated
by like spirit of State pride, as doubt
less it will. The people will unques-
tionably sustain their lawmakers in
appropriating any reasonable sum for
this important object.

The Chortaw Plaindealer, edited by
Senator Seawright, says that "there
seems to be strong sentiment in favor
of having just as little legislation as
possible, and the probabilities are that
the Governor will not throw down the
bars to everything and verybody. 1t
is wisely contended by some that we
have too many laws, and that a law is
hardly placed on the statute books
until it is either amended or repealed
The fact of the business is, the laws
that we now have are all right, ample
and sufficient to protect the peace Of
the public and keep down mob reign
and anarchy if they were only enforced.
In place of new and better laws the
State needs set of officers throughout
every county and town who will respect
their oath of office and rigdly enforce
the law as it is written. In every com
munity there is too much of a laxity
in the administration of justice. In
place of more laws, better enforce
met of the ones we have is what the
people everywhere are clamoring for.
The county and municipal officers
should give this fair trial, and we be-
lieve that they will find we are right"

An Official LaMbreakcr.

The Marshal of McComb City laid
for and caught squad of crap shooters
in second story gambling den being
run by a man named Drane, under the
guise of an insurance Office. What fol-
lowed in the Mayors court after the
conviction and filming of the crap
shooters is told as follows by the Nc
Comb City Times:
"As soon as those accused of crap
shooting had paid their fines, Marshal
Lee made a charge against Drane for
conducting a gambling game, and ii
was this trial that was most worthy of
note, being simply modern armour
test. Attorney Williams, in defending
the prisoner, made a remark that Mr..
Lee, who was on the witness stand, did
not like and he proceeded to slap the
attorney, in direct contempt of court
Drane, seeing his attorney in trouble
tested the penetrating force of a paper
weight on the marshal's head, which
proved adequate to leave quite a dent
Mr.. Lee whose turn came next, tried the
effectiveness of his rapid-fire battery
at short range, and the thing went of
and emptied the court room in five and
one-half. seconds (McComb City time.
AS result, the Vidocq was fined for
contempt of court and is now awaiting
the action of the grand jury for as
sault with deadly weapon with in
tent to kill.
All of the above, from the first to the
very last, is one of the most disgrace
full scenes ever,written on the history
pages of our town, and one that should
not be repeated.
Mr.. Lee did his duty in making The
raid, and deserves great credit, which
is the only thing worthy of praise from
the very first. Drane is in the Magno
liza Jail.

DREAMING OF HOME.

IL comes to me often in silence,
When the freight sputters low
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of long ago;
Always with throb Of heartache,
That thrills each pulsive vein,
Comes the old. unquiet longing
For the peace at home again.
l am sick of the roar of cities,
And of faces cold and strange;
know where there's warmth and welcome,
And my yearning fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead,
With an aching sense of pain;
But there1l be joy In the coming,
When go home again.
Outside Of my darkened window
Is the great worlds crash and din.
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, drifting in;
Sobbing the night wind murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain
But dream of the glorious greeting
When | go home again

sion of $1,000 proposed for his father S
widow. 1t is alleged that Mrs. Harri-
son was mulcted out of her share of
the estate by her stepson and much
unfavorable comment has been booked
against Colonel Harrison. His ex-
pressed reason for opposing the pen

it, in that he was not president when

Complimenting the General.

When General Moreau was in Eng
land he was once the victim of rather
droll misunderstanding. He was pres
ent at concert where piece was sung
by the choir with a refrain:
Tomorrow, tomorrow"
Having very imperfect knowledge
of English he fancied it to be a cantata
given in his honor and thought he dis
tinguished the words:
ITO MORGAN, to Moreau."
Each time the refrain was repeated he
rose to his feet and gracefully bowed
on all sides, to the great establishment
of the audience, who did not know
what to make Of it.
