The democrats of the senate have
acted wisely in selecting Senator Cor
man as their leader. He has expert
ence, is sagacious, resourceful and
courageous. If he can infuse little
wholesome discipline into the min
GRITTY, it will tend to strengthen his
lead, and inure to the good of the
party at large as we'll as in congress.
To no one factor more than to discip-
line, do the republicans owe their
long tenure. They can always be de-
pended on ITO stand together, follow
their leader and succeed, while the
democrats act and vote on divergent
lines, scoln to follow any lead and
fail. This should stop, we must get
together, resolved to stand by our
party, and when leader is selected,
follow him, with discipline, aggres-
siveness, and united action, under a
bold, virile leader, democracy will
again control the government, .and
relegate the "wreckers" to the rear.
But we must have discipline.

JOHN A. GAYDEN.

The name of John A. Gadyen is
presented to the people of Rankin
county this week as a candidate for
sheriff and tax collector. Mr.. Gayden
has been closely identified with the
interests of the county all his life,
and few men are better known or
more highly esteemed. He has served
the county before as public official
and in that capacity we do not believe
that he was ever excelled in efficiency,
as perusal of his records at the
courthouse will show. He is kind,
courteous and genial and if elected
will fill the Office with honor to him
self and credit to the county.

Stories OF good Bishop Williams Of
Connecticut continue to crop out
wherever clergymen meet. One just
told at the General Theological Sem,
mary relates to his nrst sermon in the
parish to which he was called just
after he was ordained. He was rather
nervous when he began to preach, but
as he progressed he noticed an old
man in a front pew, who seemed In
tensely interested In the sermon.
Whenever the preacher made point
the old gentleman nodded vigorously
In approval. This was very encour-
aging to the not Overconfdent parson
and after the services Ie inquired who
the man was.

USE OF CAVALRY IN WAR.
Military Authorities Agree on Value
Of This Arm.

Military Authorities Agree on Value
Of This Arm.
All military authorities on the con.
tinent are of one mind as to the i'm.
mense advantage which will accrue
to the power which, at the outset of .
war, can most quickly place in the
field superior force of efficient
mounted troops. One result of this
belief is the extreme care with which
each OF the great military powers Of
the continent watches the strength
and distribution of the cavalry of its
neighbors. At the present moment
some disquietude. exists in the Triple
Alliance, because the cavalry of tho
Double Alliance has become superior,
numerically, to their own. In the
event Of war, France could place in
the field 1927 squadrons and Russia
I'll; or the two allies together 1898
squadrons, while the Triple Alliance
could only musteer TAG squadrons, or
292 squadrons less than the Double
Alliance.
