Jackson, June 15.-This is the last
week in the political arena prior to
the meeting of the democratic state
executive committee at which the
date for the primaries will be set, and
the candidates have sailed forth CD
campaigns of renewed activity. Many
of the aspirants for state Office left
from Jackson yesterday to fill their
appointments at various places, and
throughout the week they will be
kept busy fitting about and attend
ing the numerous community gather
ings scheduled for the next several
days.
No indications are apparent that
any Of the candidates will meet III
joint debate. 1t is evident that some
of them do not care for this style of
campaigning, having repeatedly
ignored challenges for joint debates
and preferring, to use familiar
saying, to go it on their own hook.
1t is not likely that many of the
candidates will be present at the meet
| ing of the state executive committee.
although all of them will have their
personal representative present.

HfTTY GREEN'S WISDOM.
Tells Young Men to Keep Out of

Skeletons and Wrecks.

Hetty Green had this to say the
other day on young men and the best
way for them to get along:
There are two kinds of Young
men. One intends to take care of his
money and the other intends to let
his money take care of him. 1t is
hardly worth while to give any advice
TO the second, but to the other, if
he is young man of sense and pre-
severance, should say:
Keep out of Wall street. Wall
street is filled with wrecks and skele
tons of young men of destroyed
promise. 1t is rash to go in for spec
ulation in any form. If preson has
any money TO start with. let him in
vest it safely, and then go to work
and make some more. There are
plenty of ways plenty of them. If
he wants large returns with little out
lay. by all means let him try match
making. 1t is form of gambling,

per PERSONAL, but simply the match
business. Every body is not aware of
this, but is true. Of two ventures
"a good working gold mine and a
flourishing match business match
business will yield the larger and
surer profit.
About stock brokerage-there are
many mistaken ideas. If young
man has. any money, the business is
dangerous, for those already III it will
get it all away from him. If he is
poor, perhaps he stands as good a
chance as anybody.
A college education? No, it is
time wasted for young man who is
going into business to spend some of
his best years in college. If he ex-
poets to adopt profession, let him

AN INSULT TO THE VOTER.

1t looks to us that it is an insult to
the voters of the state whenever a
canard is gotten up to defeat some
candidate in the manner of the latest
one. 1t must certainly make the
voter feel like thirty cents. For in
stance the report is out that Judge
Critz has several men in his pay who
are going over the country buying up
voters directly or indirectly. This is
a direct insinuation that the voter
can be bought and according to the
impress sion attempted to be left he can
be bought by the highest bidder. Fol
instance if he had been offered twen-
ty-fve cents and Judge Critz should
offer him thirty the judge would get
his vote. The whole thing is more
of a reflection ON the voter than Oh
the candidates, for the statement
means, if it means anything, that
every voter can be bought for what
ever price he can get before the polls
are opened. Whenever man says
this or that candidate is buying votes
he certainly means at the same time
that the votes can be bought. 1t GER
tainly can means nothing else. Then
suppose some candidate in his cam
paign over the state should announce
in every speech he makes that he has
the money and is ready to buy every
vote presented. That would mean
that he believed that every vote was
for sale. Is it supposed that he
would be elected? Is it supposed that
there would be enough votes for sale
at any voting precinct that would
give him a majority? Then ii it is
acknowledged that such would not be
the case, why insult the voter by re-
porting that Judge Critz or any other
candidate is buying votes or attempt
ing to buy them. The man who at
tempts to buy votes enough to elect
him will be elected to remain al
home the balance of his days as he
should be.
