LEPER BOX FOR
CHRISTMAsTIDE

Editor Advertiser: People in Homo
lulu have always remembered the lep-
ers at the Christmas season. One of
the established customs was the
Christmas concert for the benefit of
the lepers. Old residents will remem-
Der that at one of the last of these
in the Kaumakapili church (they were
always held there, partly because
Wray Taylor. their instigator, was or
ganist in charge at KaumakapilD Miss
Kate Field sang most acceptably. This
was but little time before her death.
The writer with several others will re-
member her deep interest in the peo-
pie at Kalaupapa and the plucky trip
she made over the steep settlement
pail. Right here it should be said
that she with another lady in the par
ty were probably the first and only
white women who ever made that as
cent.
1t is now a long time since the con-

of getting things to the lepers and
their children has been for three years
matter of subscription. No profuse
scattering of costly gifts has been at
tempted but moderate amount Of
money in the hands of skilled buyers
has been made to go a great ways.
The box which will go from the Ha-
waiian Board rooms, 400 Boston build
ing, viii be fastened up not later than
Saturday, Dec. 10. Gifts of toys, chill
dren's clothes and books, together with
dress goods will be acceptable for this
box, but particularly is money desired
so that many things of an even cost
can be sent. In this way discrepancies
are avoided-nice gifts to the few and
meaner ones to the many. OF course
candies and sweeties will accompany
more useful things. Last year a con-
siderable amount of inexpensive house
hold articles was distributed. 1t
should be said that the Board has COM
petent agents for the distribution.

THE UNCROwNED KING.

The free, born citizen gets up, when dew is on
the grass,
And sees himself reflected in a trust-made look
ing glass.
A trust controls the soap he finds at last upon
the stand.
And through the favor of some trust, he takes
his comb in hand.
His shoes, >uSpenderS, shirt and socks, the but
tons IN his coat,
His handkerchief, his necktie, and the collar
round his throat,
All came from factories that trusts permit to
operate,
A trust allows him to have coal to pile upon his
CRATE.
By yielding to the sugar trust he makes his cof-
fee sweet,
By bowling to the beef trust. he may get steak
to eat;
The cracker trust. the flour trust, the coffee
trust likewise,
Takes tribute from the man who dwells where
Freedoms banner flies.
He rises from table, which trust leaves in
his care,
And on the trnst-made hall-tree, finds trust
made hat to wear,
Now see the free-born citizen, upon the trust
owned car
By paying tribute he may ride to where his
duties are
He sits before trust-made desk, trust has
said he may
And being free and equal, tolls for the trust all
day;
At night trust provides his light, and when his
prayers are said,
The uncrowned king devoutly kneels beside a
truStmade bed.
Thus all his trusts, bound up in trusts that treat
him as they please,
He lives through favor of the trusts to them he
bends his knees;
And let us trust that when he dies and leaves
this world of care,
Some trust will watt him to the skies, and give
him glory there.

constitutional amendment, and it
would not be necessary to wait un-
til another legislature is elected
and the amendment inserted in
the constitution, before such a law
could be enforced. This is pc
culiarity of the situation, in
reference to liquor legislation, and
these are legal phases of the ques-
ton we'll known to all lawyers.
Let the prohibitionists unite, as
they so easily can, in the way
pointed out by DR.. Fitzhugh and
they will sweep the State in the
coming Democratic primary.

Sending Out Literature.

Evidence is accumulating to
show that the liquor men and an
-prohibitionists will not remain
passive in Mississippi during the
campaign to be waged this sum
mer for statutory prohibition.
The State is now being flooded
with circular matter sent out from
New York arguing against statu-
tory prohibition. The literature
is we'll written and laden with
authorities to show that both stat
utory and constitutional prohibi-
tion have proven failures where
ever tried.
One of the circulars is chapter
on Failure of Prohibition" and
another gives Testimony of
Prominent Men in Prohibition
States,'' quoting their utterances
on the subject.
1t is significant that this litera-
ture is being sent out in advance
of the meeting of the prohibition
convention to be held in Jackson
on the 18th Of February. Some
of the circulars have fallen into
the hands of prohibition leaders,
and it is understood that they
will prepare a circular to be dis
tributed broadcast for the purpose
of counteracting the effects of the
arguments in favor of oper
saloons. Clarion Ledger.

BETTER ORDER NOW.
Work NearIy Completed on The Lead
er's Magazine Number.

Only ten cents will be the price
of The Leaders, Magazine.
Were it not for the very general
interest and encouragement of the
representative business and pro
fessional men of Brookhaven who
have made possible the edition,
such copies could not be produced
at a profit for less than so cents.
In fact, many less elaborate mag
azines of this sort have been sold
in Mississippi cities for half dol
lar each.
The Leader wants to see the edi-
ton receive wide circulation at
the hands of local people. Resi-
dents of Lincoln county ought to
send copies to friends in other and
perhaps less favored communities.
So the price will be only ten
cents a copy. Copies will cost
purchasers at least two cents
apiece to mail, and maybe three
cents.
But if you order in advance and
send the money with the order, to-
gether with the address or address
es, we will mail the copies for you
at no expense to you for postage
and no trouble of wrapping, etc.
The edition will contain pictures
of almost all the handsome
homes of Brookhaven, many of
the store buildings, nearly all the
plants and public buildings, the
schools, churches, street scenes,
timber views-from so to Is
photos will be used altogether.
There will be articles on Lin
coin county, Brookhaven, public
schools, churches, lodges, college.
investment opportunities, rail.
roads, stock-raising, lumber plants
timbering, descriptions of stores.
Typographical sketches, etc.
These articles backed up by the
engravings, handsomely printed
on fine book paper, will carry to
distant readers the same impress
sion as if a visit had been made to
this section and several weeks de-
voted to personal investigation.
Cut out and fill in the below cou.
pom and forward it with the money
and names to The Leader Office.
In this way you will not only
save the postage, but be absolute
ly sure of receiving copies. There
is no way to estimate the possible
demand, and the edition may be
exhausted the day of publication.

Hon. j. Ii. McGehee For Railroad
Commissioner.

The announcement of j. Hiram
McGehee for Railroad Commits
sioner from the Southern District
of Mississippi, puts a strong and
deserving man in the race. Mr..
McGehee comes of sturdy stock
and has many friends, because
he has shown a loyal friendship.
He represented Franklin county,
the home of his birth, in the con
stitutional convention of 1890, and
has seen repeated legislative ser
vice, being at present member OF
the State Senate, in which he is a
useful and popular member. A
successful son of the soil, his can
didacy will doubtless meet strong
acclaim from ellow-farmers in
the State, whom it is said think
that the great agricultural inter
ests of Mississippi should be rep
resented on the board of control,
of which the railroad commission
ers are also members. Under the
law introduced by Senator Noel
providing for primary elections,
railroad commissioners are nom
mated by districts, and not by
the State at large, as under the law
creating the Office of railroad
commissioners. - Picayune Blu
reau.
1t is pleasure to The Leader
to be able to endorse all that is
said above of its worthy neigh
Dor, Senator McGehee, and COM
mend him to the voters of Lincoln
County and the district general
ly. Mr.. McGehee has not only
had large experience in public
affairs, but, in our judgment, he
possesses two qualities combined
with a number of other essentials,
which especially distinguish him
and adapt him to the Office which
he seeks, viz: He is the posses
sor of an uncommon amount OF
hard, common sense-horse-sense,
if you please-and he has the
moral and political courage to
stand up for his convictions
against all corners. He would
make an excellent railroad COM
missioner, because he has the judg-
ment and discrimination to decide
what is just to the railroads and
the people, and the courage and
independence to do what is re-
quired.

Liquor men of Texas feel that
they are suffering because they
disobeyed the law as relates to
minors, the Sabbath day, etc, and
have introduced a bill in the legis-
lature with restrictions enough to
make the sale as desirable as the
devil and the respectable tippler
would have it. This will not
satisfy the prohibitionists, how
ever, and they are marching On to
statutory prohibition law, like
unto Mississippi. The success OF
the prohibitionists in the Lone
Star State has been greater than
they themselves anticipated.
