The Philippine Tariff.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
 We don't believe that the people of this country will endure much longer the barrier of tariff duties between Philippine and United States trade. Why should the people of this country pay two prices on sugar and tobacco grown on soil they are taxed to govern and guard, to enrich the clients of these senators? New light is cast on this subject by the last statistics of trade with outside territory. Exports to Alaska and the islands have in- creased 400 per cent and imports from them 100 per cent. But the greater part of the growth is in Porto Rico and Hawaii, where trade is free. In.- ports from the Philippines have in creased only little more than 25 per cent, and the large increase of exports from practically nothing is plainly due to army and official trade. Yet these islands are by far the richest of our acquisitions We should have more trade with them than with all the others, instead of about one-fourth as much, if we did not shut the door in it's face.

Locomotive Headlights.

A recent improvement in railroad lsco- motive headlights is to send beam of light vertically from the locomotive, as well as straight ahead. The column of light rising vertically from the locpnio- tive can be seen from 0 great distance. even though a hill should intervene to hide the ordinary headlight and dull tho sound of the whistle. The searchllgh. ef- feet used aboard ships Is thus to some ex- tent utilized.

is too remote in it's effects to be of
interest in a state election; but trusts

HON. FRANK A. CRlTZ, Of West Point
Prominent Candidate for Governor of Mississippi

Judge Frank A. Critz, one OF the
leading candidates for governor, is Il
Mississippian by adoption. Born in
the neighboring state OF Alabama,
with his parents he came to this state
when seven years OF age, the family
locating on small farm four miles
west of Starkville. Here young Critz
spent his early days and manifested
his fearlessness of hard work. The
ancestors of this youth were Eir-
ginians, embodying as they did, the
excellencieS SO characteristic of the
people of that great nursery OF states
men and presidents. His grandfath-
ers fought for American independence
under Washington. Judge Critz was
married in 1876 to Miss Lizzie Barker,
of Macon. Two sons and two daugh-
ters have blessed this union.
Life on the farm in antebellum
days, before the public school system
was 50 widely established, was not
very favorable to the education of
the youth OF the land, and as con-
sequence young Frank Critz received
very limited schooling. He walked
four miles to school during the two
summer months of several years, and
until after the war this constituted
his educational opportunity. But he
improved these opportunities aud
laid we'll the foundation of his career.
At the age OF sixteen he entered
the Confederate army as volunteer.
He wanted to enlist year earlier,
but his father would not consent to it..
He served well and faithfully. Never
did he shirk duty nor finch from
danger, although modest in deport-
ment at all times. When the war
closed he was yet in his teens, and his
superior officers frequently praised his
work as soldier. Since the war his
captain has often said "Critz would
pray all night and fight like HI
next day.
The war over, he returned home
and began the work of recouping the
losses. Soon he entered the Male
Academy at Starkvilie, and from
thence went to the University OF
Mississippi, where he took the degree
of Bachelor of Arts. He taught
school one year, and during that time
continued the study of his chosen pro-
fession-the law. He first began its
practice at Starkville. He never at
The Grenada sentinel., 1903-01-17

tended a law school nor studied in a
lawyers office. In 1872 he moved to
West Point. where he has since resi-
ded. lie rose rapidly by dint of close
application and exceptional natural
ability. At the age OF 33 years he
was appointed Chancellor by Gov.
Stone, serving eight years. The
Supreme Court records show that there
have been few better chancellors than
he, and in the legal profession he
ranks equal with the best in the state.
In the legislative halls he has had
considerable experience, serving in
both branches, and some OF the wisest
and best laws now in force emanated
from his fertile and resourceful mind.
He was recognized as a leader and his
calm, deliberate Judgment and wise
counsel was often sought. He was
always prompted by the welfare of his
commonwealth in his actions.
Judge Critz has occupied many po-
sitions99of trust and honor, and he has
never failed to reflect credit ON the
position, no matter how exalted. He
is a Christian gentleman OF the
highest type, and his character has
never been assailed. He is shining
example OF a self-made man, which is
one of the glories of our American
nation.
He is not only an eminent success in
the legal profession, but as a business
man has proven to be equally qualified.
Occupying a position of prominence
through the practice of energy, close
application and sound, practical bus
mess Judgment, coupled with a SUI
perior mental equipment with which
nature has endowed him, his is we'll
rounded career, worthy of emulation.
The possession of these qualities ca
pacitates him for the high position he
seeks. n man who cannot make a
success of his individual interest need
not be expected to manage the weighty
affairs of state with any degree of
Skill or satisfaction to his constit:
ents.
Judge Critz is man who woular be
credit to his state in the n of
Governor. He has never pro Ell a
disappointment to his friends, nd adj

the press of the state concerning him
are fattering indeed. From where he
is most intimately known come the
strongest words of praise and tribute
to his ability. In the race for Gov
ernor in 1899 he was an easy second,
thus proving that he was highly re-
garded throughout the state.
