the many complimentary editorials
that have been given our distin.
gulshed fellow countyman, Hon.
j G. Kincannon, by the papers of
this district. Mr.. Kincannon is
serving his first term as Railroad
Commissioner, and his services
have been so satisfactory, not
alone to tie people of this district,
but to the entire State, that de-
mand is made of him that he
again accept the position and per-
NIT his name used as a candidate
for re election. That he will be
returned to the office OF Railroad
Commissioner by all overwhelm
ing majority, is not doubted in
the least, and he should be re.
elected.
His record during the past three
years has been satisfactory III
every respect. lfhe | ad no other
recommendation, the stand taken
by Mr.. Kincannon in the Parchman
case would be sufficient reason
why every man In the district
shonld vote for him.
BuO he has done many other
things during hi, term of office that
has won him riany supporters
Freight rates on almost everything
raised on farm have been reduced.

President Carries Pis-
tOl In His OverCOat
Pocket.

st. Paul. Mimi, April IL
President Roosevelt carries Il
"gun.' Governor Vansant found
it on him. In spite Of the pro-
vision for his protection afforded
in the body guard of Secret Ser
vice men constantly attending
him wherever lie may go and the
police preparations for his per-
sonal safety, every time he ap-
pears in public the President evil
IDENTIFY believed in neing armed
himself as the best Of all precau-
tions, and he carries his weapon
right where it will be handy in
case the need for it should arise.
1t became known to dav that
when the President visited the
Capitol while he was in st. Paul
recently he was taken first into
the executive chamber, where he
and Governor Vansant were re-
lieved Of their overcoats by David
Hessley, the Governors negro
messenger. The party then pro-
ceeded to the House of Representa-
tives for the exercises. Later,
when all were about to start for
the drive the Governor happened
to run his hand into the pocket
of the overcoat into which he had
been assisted. and in much surprise
called out:
"Hullo, Dave, this is not my
coat. This one has big gun in
the pocket of it. ("
Then the President, standing
close at hand, chuckled softly and,
turning to the Governor with the
expansive smile that is one of his
marked characteristics, said quiet
ly:
"Oh, it is all right, Governor,
that coat belongs to me-
An examination of the two over
coats showed that the mistake was
not at all to be wondered at, as
both were black and made in the
same style, with black velvet col
lars. Then, TOO, both were found
to be about the same size in gener-
al measurements and the garment
of the President was as comforta-
BILE fit for the Governor as his
own. The change was readily ef-
fected and the drive was not pre-
ceptibly delayed.
That Ieddie is valiant hero
there can be no question and he
may not be very far wrong in
carrying a "gun" in his pocket
while he is running around out
west. But, in view of his pre-
dilections for the niger and his
desire to secure their votes in the
next republican convention, he
would have, scored stronger
point if he had carried a razor
instead Of pistol.

Some Wholesome Advice.

A father talking to his careless
daughter said: II want to speak to
you of your mother. 1t may be that
you have noticed careworn look up
on her face lately. OF course it has
not been brought there by any action
OF yours still it is your duty to chase
it away. l want you to get up tomor-
row morning and get the breakfast
and when your mother comes and be-
gins to express her surprise 60 right
up to her and kiss her. You can't
Imagine how it will brighten her
dear face Resides you owe her kiss
or two Away back when you were
a little girl she kissed you when no
one else were tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen face. You
was not as attractive then as you are
now. And through those years of
childish sunshine and shadow she was
Away ready to cure by the magic or
mothers Kiss the little dirty chubby
hands whenever they were injured in
those first skirmishes with the rough
world. And then the midnight kiss
with which she routed so many bad
dreams as she leaned over her restless
pillow have been on interest these
long, long years. OF course she is not
so pretty and kissable as you are,
but if you had done your share of
work during the last ten years the
contrast would not be so marked.
Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, far more, and yet if you were
sick that face would appear more
beautiful than an angels as it hover
ed over you watching every opportun-
ity to minister to your comfort and
every one of these wrinkles would
seem to be bright wsvelets of sun
shine chasing each over the dear face.
She will leave you one of these
days. These burdens if not lifted
from her shoulders will break her
down. Those rough hard hands that
have done so many necessary things
for you will be crossed upon her life
less breast. Those neglected lips that
gave you your first baby kiss will be
forever closed and those sad tired eyes
will have opened in eternity and then
you will appreciate your mother but
it will be too late
