The JOURNAL hears that the guar
named in the proposed curfew ordi-
nance ; that they should conform to
the fees fixed for arrests in other cases,
and so on.
Perhaps, however, the draughtsmen
of the ordinance hold the notion that ''the
punishment should fit the crime" in the
proportion of fees as well as penalties
But i'll any event before the final vote
any Councilman can offer to amend
next Monday evening and thus name
the figures the officers want.
Thousands of bills have been amended
that never became laws.

Resignation.

Howard c. Hill, principal of Graham
town school, resigned last Saturday to
become confidential clerk and cores
general merchandise firm of Cumber-
land. Mr.. Hill is an estimable young
man and i'll every way qualified to fill
his new and probably more onerous
position. The patrons of the Graham
town school, more than pleased with
his proficiency as a principal, regret to
lose him from that office, and the quail
ties which make IA teacher acceptable
are most sure to carry him through
other spheres of work successfully.

..FEBRU AIRY y, 1903


That the President erred i'll his course
toward the white people Of lndianola,
Miss, nearly all at heart believe.
The white race is the Israel of this
country and everywhere should be
treated white" by white people.
In no way anywhere should 1t be
made to "play second fiddle to any
tribe so distinctly alien as the negro.
At the same time, as politics go Ill
this country, what proportion OF white
people get all they want i'll the appoint
ment of postmasters
In six of ten cases only Il majority OF
a party Is patronized; i'll nine of ten
only a faction is pleased, and III all OF
the ten the appointee represents the
choice of only very small minority of
all his postotfice patrons.
Probably this state of affairs cannot
be made better, but there is never good
reason to make it worse.

The new enterprise of the Baseball

to the Driving Park company, but also
to the Electric Railway folks.
The latter, however, can easily remedy
their trouble by looping the town, as
contended for by the JOURNAL. Cross
from Union to Loo street and passen-

remarkable record. 1t has been in
use for over thirty years, during which
time many million bottles have been
sold and used. It has long been the
standard and main reliance in the
treatment of Group in thousands OF
homes. yet during all this time no case
has ever been reported to the manu-
facturers in which it failed to effect
a cure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or even as soon
as the croupy cough appears, it will
prevent the attack. 1t is pleasant to
take; many children like it. It con
