CLEVELAND ENDORSED.

The Tennessee senate is the first to
speak and the first to endorse Mr..
Cleveland's speech delivered the
other day in New York on the negro
problem in the adoption Of reso-
luton that is SO appropriate that it
is here reproduced. But it is only
matter of short time when the
whole south will endorse Mr.. Cleve-
land, not only for the stand he has
taken on the negro question, but on
other subjects on which he will speak
in the near future. Mr.. Cleveland is
patriot, statesman, sensible man
without any bulldog blood in his
head, and he has as high regard and
as high respect for the feelings of the
south as he has for that part of the
north or west. Here are the resolu-
tons:
Whereas, there are many In
the north who do not understand
the negro question as it is correctly
understood by those of the south,
who have for more than three score
and ten years met the question face
to face, and as pure Caucasians who
disbelieve in social mixture of blood.
and,
Whereas, the history of the world
has taught that miscegnation is to
the detriment of civilization, indus
try, intelligence and progress or the
betterment of human conditions, and,
Whereas, the Hon. Grover Cleve-
land has SO clearly stated in his utter
ances on last evening upon the ques-
ton of the Tuskegee Institute in New
York the following cogent, true and
unerring definition of the race ques-
| ton:
Therefore be it resolved, by the
senate of Tennessee, That the state.
ments and utterances of our ex-presi'
dent upon the past as set out on the
racial qestion are true, and if fol
lowed by the nation the question viii
be settled in accordance with truth

Vardaman's strongest point with
the people is if he is elected governor
he will be the sole rampitcher IN the
Office. He will allow no one to die
tate to him how the office shall be
run, whom he shall appoint to office
or to whom he shall extend fayors OF
any kind. The trouble with Mr.. Var
daman is should he get the office he
might possibly have sweetness OF
the head and thus through his admin
istration do the state great harm.
But that he is very popular now from
one end of the state to the other there
can be no denying. Drummers and
others who travel over the state say
the people are for him by good ma
jority. A gentleman. travelling
man, in the Progress office yesterday
said he would carry every county on
the Mississippi river with perhaps the
exception of Warren.

ing much harm to the city, but atsthe
same time We cannot afford to take
any action that looks like whitecap-
ping. This can be avoided very easily
by everything being done openly and
during the time when the sun is shin
ing the brightest.
To those who do not know TO the
contrary the Progress will say that
Hattiesbnrg is gaining for itself in
the surrounding country a name that
is by no means omplimentary and one
that would make any of our citizens
blush to hear repeated. This is a
young city and its business foundation
is not SO we'll established that it cannot
very seriously be shaken by the con
duct of few people who have nj
interest in the city and would mo-
care if it would sink out of sigh

but they should act intelligently
reasonably and carefully.

GETTING BAD.

Attention is called to the communi-
cation from " Citizen published In
another place in today's Progress. The
disreputable houses IN the city are be-
coming so bad that the attention OF
the public is being directed to them
and the people, for the sake of the
young men and boys of the city, are
demanding that these women be run
out of the city.
The suggestion of "Citizen" is to
call q public meeting and ask the OFF,
GERS to run them out and then II the
officers say that they cannot or have
no law to justify them in such an
undertaking, then the citizens meet
ing appoint q committee to wait on
the disreputable inmates of these
houses and give them certain num-

TO GOVERNOR LONGING.

You are candidate before the peo-
pie of Mississippi for the honorable

such, the people of the state whose
suffrages you ask, have perfect right
to know your views on questions OF a

Among these questions none is OF
more interest to the people at large
Just now than the action of the presi-
dent of the United States in arbitra-
rily closing the postoffice at Indianloa,
Miss. Both the present United States
senators, all of our congressman, and
other leading democrats OF the state
have expressed in no uncertain Ian
guage their condemnations of this I'M
warranted act of partisan president.
You, alone, of all the men in Missis-
sippi, vino have been elevated to
high position by democratic votes,
have failed to voice your opinion of
this handed outrage on free
people. In the name of the demo-
cratic voters of Mississippi who have
so frequently honored you, The Sen
tinel respectfully asks you, Governor
Longino:
Do you. or do you not, approve the
action of President Roosevelt in clos
ing the Indianola postoffice?
The democratic voters OF Missis-
sippi have right to know your views
on this question, and the Sentinel
! awaits your reply and will be glad to
print your answer to this direct ques-
ton. -Yazoo City Sentinel.

speech here next Monday and 1T is
hoped the people will turn out to

that he considers his chances good, at

of one while others may have q
different opinion.

WINGED otherwise until the matter is

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several important Points That Must
Be Remembered,


To teach a child with success re-
qulres only common sense, good judg-
ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
10 find fault with ignorance, with lack
of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, moor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
lnfiexible rule that requires a teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present it
in an interesting and ineligible way.
Third, there Is the ever present dan
ger OF OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard
In the beginning short lessons fre
quently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped SO long as to-
morrow represents another day.---Ths
