THE SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN.

AS press reports cut some figure IL
every political campaign, we will
present two clippings taken from the
New Orleans Picayune of yesterday
that go to show how the candidates
for United States senator are conduct
ing their respective campaigns. The
Picayune's Shubuta special dated
June IS, says:
Senator H. d. Money spoke here
Tuesday night in the interest of his
candidacy. He devoted about one
third of his speech to Governor Lon
gino directly. The Senator recalled
his record in securing appropriations,
the general prosperity of the country
at large and the race issue He
closed with compliments to the
ladies.
And the Pontotoc special of the
same date says that the largest polit-
ical gathering of the year greeted
Governor Longino here today for an
hour and a half. An enthusiastic
audience, which crowded the large
courthouse to its utmost capacity, lis
tened to the speaker. The people
came from all over the county, and
the audience was thoroughly repre-
sentative one. The speech was de-
voted largely to a review of the state
n Y,1Irl 1cfr 90
national affairs. All personalities
were avoided. !"
Further comment is unnecessary
Governor Longino will address the
people at the courthouse in this city
ON Tuesday, June %, and the elect
ors will have an opportunity to judge
his speech for themselves. -Natchez

That is rich-a man who has just
been rescued from the foolish house
writing political stuff against Judge
Critz and some people pretending to
believe what he says. This man lives
in Meridian and his name is Warner,
so it is stated, but somehow we have
some doubt about the man writing
the article, though his name may
have been signed to it. At any rate
the statement he makes to the effect
that Judge Critz has men in his pay
boosting his candidacy in the state
has not injured that gentleman s
chances for election. People have
become used to such reports and they
give them but little attention.

The report comes from a small sta

road that the other day one of the
game of craps on the train and Sui
livan, who is from Sullivan's Hollow,
becoming angry, slapped the face of
the stranger several times, the latter
not resenting the insult. When the
train arrived at little station and
just as Sullivan stepped from the
train he was shot dead, but by whom
no one seems to know. No arrest has
been made so far as can be learned.

"Gentlemen," be said, "you are 60.

When one of you asks your wife to 60

Just a Word or Two.

The proposition to establish and
maintain an agricultural school in JET
ferson county was defeated by the
county board by vote 10 to 26. If
the county board could establish a
school to train girls to do house work
and then induce the graduates to stick
to that employment, they would fill a
long felt want, and the wisdom OF
Solomon would look like 80 cents in
any fair comparison. When viewed
from the stand dpoint of dollars and
cents, the decided preference of girls
to work in factories and stores rather
than to do house work cannot be ex-
planned. A girl works in factory for
$4OO week and boards at home. In
this way manufacturers get their help
boarded for nothing. Counting the
cost of board at only $3.50 per week,
and that is very moderate as prices
average, and the girl earns Tor the
family so cents. The grill who does
house work gels So 90 per week at the
very least, her board worth So. so as
above, and her laundrying, virtual
" making about 81 90 per week.
and she is not draining the resources
of her family but adding to them
The occupation is honorable-all hon
est employment is honorable, -and
she can dress well and have bank
account. The more leisure feature
claimed by the factory employee IS the
danger point of the whole business.

house keeping are not treated as well

may be true in 6 cases. but

teemed as gem among those fortun-

Free Public; Library Lecture Course.

The second number of a. course OF
five lectures by Mr.. Chas, w. Seymour
for the benefit of the Free Public Lii
brary was delivered in Concordia Hall
last Thursday evening before repre-
sentative and appreeiative audience.
"Charlemagne" was the subject, and
the lecture, like it's predecessor was a
masterpiece of historical recitation,
delivered In the speakers peculiarly
attractive style of oratory. Beginning
with ne preliminary flourish or explain
atory preface the speaker, sure of his
footing both with his subject and with
his audience, treats of his subject from
the very first word. AS to it's compar-
ative excellence, those who heard the
initial lecture scarcely agree, owing to
difference in tastes with reference to
the subject. 1t might have been af-
fected somewhat with the temperature
of the hall, or whether one had on his
winter clothing. In plain English the
hall was too cold, one and reminded
constantly of Habhegger's cold storage
plant. The bowling alley in the same
building was we'll patronized and ad-
ded another disturbing feature to the
surroundings. If the room had been
comfortably warmed, and the bowling
not quite so much in evideuce, it would
have been more agreeable to the
audience. The next number WILL be
"Loreuzo di Medici,' Now look up
your encyclopedias and be ready to
follow the speaker, for he will do his
part we'll, but above all things induce
your friends to come and fill up all va
cant chairs, the object of these lect-
ures, the benefit of the Free Public
Library, is cause that should plead
it's own case.

Church Advertising.

Kew. Judson Ellsworth, pastor of
Plymouth Congregational church, Mil
waukee, has started advertising his
church services and in an interview
published recently says some sensible
things concerning churches and their
relation to newspapers and other lines
OF business.
Il believe that the church ouRh. to
pay the same price for the same space
that would be asked of any other busi-
ness concern. It was matter of prip-
ciple. My attitude on this subject IL
well Known. l am strongly opposed
to all special concessions to the church
and to the clergy. I travel on inter-
changeable mileage, which any one
can secure. I never use ministerial
discounts of any kind, and l advocate
the paying of taxes on church property.
The church and the state are entirely
separate, and there is no reason why
the church should not stand on its
own feet.
s'Clergymen and churches will never
earn the respect of the world until
they merit their own respect. They
will never occupy the position of dig
nifty which they should occupy until
they themselves exercise that inde-
pendence which entities them to the
respectful consideration and esteem of
the world at large. If a minister is
willing to accept gifts instead of q
salary, he may be sure that gifts are
what he will get, and he will not get
his full share by any means.
Il have no patience with the syco-
phantish, supplicantish attitude of
many clergymen and churches, know
of no special reason why they are en-
titled to courtesies which other people
do not receive and l have never coun-
tenanced their eternal begging for fa-
vors. believe they ought to pay for
their announcements of their Sunday
services which are Eow published gra-
tuitously by the city press. / see no
reason why the newspapers should give
this valuable advertising space to the
churches"
