Must Respect the Law.

The stand being taken by Missis-
sippi conservators of the peace that
the law must be respected, is bearing
fruit. Our people as rule are law
abiding, but there are times and
places where the majesty of the law
loses its respect. We must be a law
abiding people and the officers should
be upheld in the effort to make the
few SO who would not be, otherwise.
Ours is great state, and to. retain
our greatness, it is necessary that the
law be respected and observed at any
and all times.

To Change Domicile of Elks.

For several months there has been
a diligent effort on the part Of some
of the members of Biloxi Lodge of
Elks to remove the domicile of the

Washington. Not only are the ma
jority given theshrdlurBi,p Fishe EFF
jorities given the Republican nationa-
al ticket confirmed by the more COM
plete returns and in some instances
increased over earlier figures but the
claim is made that the once solid
south has been broken and Missouri
has gone Republican.
With every former doubtful state
admittedly in the Roosevelt column
with majorities in some states in ex-
cess of those given Mr.. Mckinley
four years ago and in some instances
even greater than those of 1896, capp-
ed by the possibility that the hither-
to invincible and historically Dem
ocratic south has been invaded.
When it was reported that Missou-
ri was in doubt and some of the Re-
publican leaders were admitting that
they had hopes of success, it was
hardly credited by the majority of the
Republicans and was laughed at by
Democrats. But late returns seem to
indicate that these claims may be well
grounded, and in the absence of full
and complete figures Of the vote the
assertion that the muddy water state
has forsaken its Democratic allegi-
ance on national issues is coming to
be accepted as probability.
Roosevelt has 343 Votes.
Should the official count bear out
the present claims Mr.. Roosevelt 's
vote in the electoral college will be
343, plurality of 210.
The unofficial returns give basis
for this estimate, which is warranted
by the eighteen votes from Missouri
In the First Virginia the returns
have come in very slowly, but Re
publican victory is indicated.
A tabulated statement of the indi-
Gated results is as follows:

Roosevelt has received the greatest
popular vote ever given presidential
candidate. Returns indicate that he
will receive a popular plurality Of
slightly over 1900, 900 against S49, 100
for Mckinley over Bryan.
The sentiment which swept the Re-
publican candidates into Office will be
reflected in the next house of repre-
sentatives From figures obtained by
the Associated Press, the Republicans
have elected 233 Representatives and
the Democrats AL, the twelve remain
ing districts yet to be heard from be-
ing now equally divided beteween the
two parties.
The Republican majority in the
next house will therefore be at least
92.
Will Not Run in 1908.
President Roosevelt after the cleo
tion returns clearly indicated the re-
suit issued the following statement:
~ am deeply sensible Of the honor
done me by the American people in
thus expressing their confidence in
what | have done and have tried to do.
I appreciate to the fullest extent the re-
sponsibility this confidence imposes
upon me and I shall do all that in
my power lies not to forfeit it.
"On the fourth of March next l
shall have served three and a half
years and this three and half years
constitutes my first term. The wise
custom which limits the president to
two terms regards the substance and
not the form. Under no circumstances
will I be a candidate for or accept an
other nomination.
His Southern Policy.
The President will, some time be-
tween now and Inauguration day,
while on a trip, which he contem-
plates taking to his mether's home in
Georgia, deliver speech, in which he
will outline his Southern policy. The
statement is made authoritatively,
and is the first announcement SO far
made as to the President, intentions.
The attitude of the President towards
the South, of which SO much has al
ready been written, is is said by
friends of the administration has not
been fully understood, and it is be-
lieved that on this occasion he will
clear away much that is now lnyolv-
ed in doubt and uncertainty. While
the President is unwilling, it is said,
to anticipate what he intends to say,
the reports which come from the
White House of private conversa-
tions had with him warrant the pre-
diction that his Southern policy will
be impartial.
Roosevelt is ambitious. His closest
friends say that it is now his ambi-
ton, having been elected by the great
est popular majority ever given any
candidate for any Office since the es-
tablishment of the republic, to retire
from office with the good will OF the
people of all sections and all parties
