Attorney-G General McClurg has de-
cided that the chase was not worth
the candle, so he VIII not enter the
race for governor. He came down
before he went up, all of which
shows that he took a sensible view
of the situation, and some others
would profit by following in his
wake. He did not, it is presumed,
refuse to enter the race because he
was afraid of being defeated, but
likely because he saw there was 60
ing to be a great scramble and of
course great frauds IN the canvass
and he did not care to be one of the
parties to such. 1t is fully believed,
however, had he remained IN the
race he would have made a splendid
run and very likely would have been
elected. He has many friends
throughout the state, and he has
served the people so we'll as attorney
general that he naturally has pref
| ty strong hold on them.

President Roosevelt said the other
day that he never felt better and
asked if he did not look like prize
fighter out Of a job. He really does,
but he has one of the biggest jobs IN
that line before him of any man in
the United States if he will only
enter the ring. The people, the
great masses of the people, put him
forward to fight the trusts, but in
stead of fighting them he is rather
inclined to consider them among his
best friends. He is trying to make
people believe that he would fight
them If heeould 'git at 'em," but he
cannot, for every time they swing
right handler he runs to his
corner and eXclaims, There Amt no
trust" And he might add that there
amt no Roosevelt to stand up to
them If there were any. Yes, he has
every appearance of fighter out OF
a job and one likely to remain out as
long as he remains president.

There is very little danger of war
between Haytl and Germany. If
war should be declared it would be
of short duration. The Haytians
have but little to fight with, either
weapons or money, and they are an

them are black negroes Of African
decent and the balance mulattoes

SPECIAL SESSION AND THE PRIMARY
ELECTION LAW.

Under the present primary election
law the probability is that the next
governor of Mississippi will be a mi
nority governor. The electoral plan
of the law is an injustice to the peo-
pie Of this great state. It is undem-
ocratic and fraud upon Its face
Biloxi Herald.
1t now seems probable that the
governor will call special session of
the Legislature to consider the cotton
insurance question. If he convenes
the legislature in special session, he
should not only recommend action
on the insurance laws, but should al
so recommend action on the primary
election law.
The primary election principle il
all right, but there are some defects

CHILD LABOR.

There has been great deal of talk
in the newspapers here of late about
child labor and the hardships chill
dren experience in the cotton factO-
ries. If there is any hardship about
it a factory should be established IN
Hattiesburg and put some of the
cigarette smokers in 1T to work, for,
honest Indian, some Of them never
did an honest days work in their
lives and never will until they are
sent to the county convict farm or to
the state farm. But laying jokes aside,
we think there is a great deal more
talk than truth in the reported hard
ships of children who work in facto-
ries. Ii is notorious fact that the
parent who will force his child to
work in factory and endure such
hardships as reported is inhuman to
the child and it is more of a relief
than a burden for the child to get
into the factory. Some men know no
more about raising children than
they do about raising mortgages, and
there should be law to keep such
men from marrying. The man who
cares anything for his child will not
send it to the cotton factory, but to
school where it should be sent until
it receives a good English education.
A compulsory law would keep the
children out of the factory and the
cry of hardship would soon cease.
There are Instances no doubt where
the child has to go to the factory to
keep the old man in red Ticker, but
that same child would fare worse at
home. But in case of this kind q

and crudities in the Noel law that
should be remedied. the electoral
feature, referred to by the Herald,
being one of them. Governor Isongl-
no was dissatisfied with the bill, and
approved it reluctantly.
A great majority Of the people of
Mississippi are in favor of an honest
and thoroughly considered primary
election. law. If the governor is in
favor of such a law, let him call it to
the attention of the special session.
And, if a special session shall be
held, the governor should recon-
mend action on any subjects that re-
quire legislative acknowledging

There seem to be others besides
those who live in the sixth congress
sionaI district who are opposed to
the present primary law. Notices
are now appearing in some of the
papers Of the state to the effect that
the repeal or amendment of the law
should be considered at the special
session of the legislature if it is
called. Any law that elects a man
on minority vote does injustice to
the other candidates and to the
majority OF the voters, and this is
just what the present primary law
does.

The report comes from Jackson
that negro woman was arrested the
other day charged with running a
blind tiger in her hip pocket. So
after all the blind tigers in that city
have not been broken up and we have
not heard of any of the policemen
being discharged as they were threat
ened by the council that they would
be if all the blind tigers were not
broken up within thirty days.

One of the Jackson correspondents
stated the other day that the guber-
material race would lie between Nc
Clurg and Kincannon. Since Nc
Clurg has come down the race will
be between Kincannon and some one
else. The Jackson correspondent
should keep on guessing-he may
strike the right one just before the
nomination Is made.

One insurance firm in Meridian
proposes to take out policies on
thirty thousand bales of cotton at
ten cents bale regardless of the
valued policy clause of the insurance
law. If one company can do this it
would seem that others could, and
therefore there would be no need at
the present time of calling a special
session of the legislature. But ii
appears that the said Meridian con-
Germ was long time discovering the
fact that it could do this or 1t was a
long time before it could get up
enough nerve to do it.
