tendent of Education Whitfield is
busily engaged with his arrangements
for the educational campaign mkt

school each year. He will enlist the
support of some of the best ednca-
tional workers in teh country, and

Special to the Daily Progress

Jackson, Jan. 13.-The weekly
newspapers published at Indianola are
dated from Steadman this week,
owing to the lack of mail facilities
at Indianola. The papers are placed
in a rather awkward position by the
action of the president. They are
authorized to enter their mail at In
dianola, but since there is no post
office at that place it was necessary to
send papers to their subscribers
through Steadman, the place of pub
lication.

Teddy is Getting What
Patty Gave the Drum
BY NEARLY ALL STATE PAPERS.
The Press Disapproves of His
Action and Says So
IN UNMISrAKABLE MEANING
And Thus The Sentiment :of the
People is Expressed.
Special to the Daily Progress.


Indianola, Jan. 13.-The press of
Mississippi without a dissenting
voice.. strongly denoupces the action
of President Roosevelt in closing the
postofice at Indianola and attempting
to force a negro postmistress on the
community. The following are ex-
tracts from the editorial ntterances
of a few of the leading Journals: :
Greenwood Enterprise: 1.-THE
president is making an objectionable
mistake in attempting to force a me-
gro postmistress on any Mississippi
community.
Biloxi Review: IF President
Roosevelt's mother, who was a
southern lady, were alive today she
would not approve the action of her
son in deliberately outraging southern
sentiment"
Tupelo Journal 1.-The offense is
unpardonable. We look for a great
deal more to come. out of this matter
than is now shown''
Raymond Gazette: "It demon
strates what may be expected by the
white people of the south at the
hands of Booker Washington S
friend, Mr.. Roosevelt.
Southern Sentinel: "This occur
renee is another f1aunt in the face of
southern democracy.
Hickory Reporter Index: "Some
Of the papers claim that the people
of Indianola had no right to kick
about the negress because she had
been in office there for several years.
Must people continue to be imposed
upon because they have been hereto
fore?''
Carroliton Conservative: 1t was
small piece of business, and thor
oughly in keeping with the calibre
of the man at the white house..
Grenada Sentinel: His high tenn
per and bull -headedness will hurt him
in the north, as well as more strongly
unifying the south against him than
it has ever been before.
Maben Meteor: Roosevelt is
opening afresh the sore of a race
prejudice, which is in the breast of
every Anglo Saxon. Instead of mass
meetings it will be 3S's and AIS when
he sends among US another negro to
hand out the mail. -
Meridian Star: "The president
and his chief postoffice advisor have
really converted an artistic and be-
loved tradition into a rather raw
situation. Stripping the matter of
the diplomatic -verbiage, somebody
has lied in the Indianola affair.
Vicksburg American: 1t is a
piece of spite. work, pure and simple,
of which a 10-yeacr-old school boy
should feel ashamed"
Hattiesburg Progress: TEDDY is
splitting against the wind. He can
close as many postoffices in this state
as he may choose, but the people will
see that negroes will not be allowed
TO hold such positions. -
Greenville Democrat: Minnie
Cox resignded without any expression
of ill-feeling. The president could
learn lesson of good conduct, fair
ness and good raising from Minnie
Cox if he would"
Aberdeen Weekly: "No matter
what the motive, the act was as
tyranical and insulting to the south
ern people as the closing of the post
Office Boston ports was to the New
Englanders, and will be resented
and repudiated with the same stub
born manhood.
