Prof. IIuddlestOn Tells Why So Many
Teachers Failed.

The State board of examiners
has practically completed its task
of grading the examination papers
of applicants for license as teach
ers. One SPECIAL examination is
to be held throughout the State
next month";, after which the board
will wind up its work for the
year.
The figures al the Office of the
board show that the failures this
year have been nearly thirty per
cent. larger than during any pre-
yious year for which statistics are
available. In explaining this ap-
parent lack of mental equipment
on the part of the persons who
desire to teach young America
how to shoot" Prof. q. W. Hud-
dIeston, a membr of the board,
says:
1.-THE examinations during the
past few months have been harder
THAN before. This is in accord
ance with the policy we have
adopted to raise the standard of
teaching. The school terms are
being heightened throughout the
State, better salaries are being
paid, and the patrons of the pub
lie schools are entitled to better
teachers. The person who fails
to pass one of our examinations
ought not to teach school. Ol
course, some failures have beer
due in measure to new subjects
introduced in the curriculum, anc
the teachers who have familiarlz
ed themselves with the new stud
les will be given another opportu
nifty at the special county examl
nations"
The State board of examiner
. has managed to establish a system
5 of uniformity for transfer il
, censes, and the point has almos
been reached where a teachers
license granted in one county i
; good in any other county of th
j State. During the past month
large number of transfers hay
been granted by the State board
!: this always being the case just be
i fore the opening of the schoo
term, owing to the frequency wit
which teachers change their locs
tions. jackson Evening News.

The Modern American Best Type Of
Man,

John w. Springer, of Denver,
delivered an eloquent address at
the recent banquet given by the
Omaha Club. Among other good
things he said:
The intense earnestness of the
Modern American is emphasized
by his fearless public utterances.
Today the people want no dissem-
bling, no confessing and avoiding,
no fulsome fattery; they want
hard, cold, intellingent facts, fear
lessly uttered and as uncompro-
misingly championed. The day
of the trimmer is over, and a
leader must now have convictions
and rise or fall with them. The
press of the country carries
mans opinion from one end -o1
the land to the other; and woe tc
that modern leader if he deceiYes
the people or is faithless to bis
trust! The twentieth century re
form has vigorously set in, anc
there will be a political house
cleaning from Maine to Califor
MA"
Can you read the above withou
invoIuntarily thinking of Gov. j
K. Vardaman as a consplcuou
type of man!
The Governors best years ant
his greatest usefulness to tn
State and nation are in the future
He is now being time tried an
fire tested" and when the peopl
learn of his real worth, he will b

Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic Party.

In commenting upon Hon. W.
j. Bryan's speech at the Jefferson
Club in Chicago, the Meridian
Star closes by saying: Since
Mr.. Bryan was first nominated in
1896, the Democratic party has
been discredited. 1t has constant
ly lost ground; and to recoup
itself, it must return to its ancient
mooring that kept it steadfast to
principles, instead of expedients,
before the evil days of Populistic
alliance came. 1t is indeed graft
fving to know that Mr.. Bryan
does not mean to hinder the re-
turn"
1t used to be popular to speak
| of the decade of the Democratic
party because of the nomination
of Mr.. Bryan in 1896, but the
time has passed. In 1904 the
Democratic party tried the then
popular phrase of returning to
The result is too we'll known to
need repeating. The platform
upon which he made the race and
the. one upon which Mr.. Roosevelt
was nominated was so near alike
upon vital questions, that no one
could tell the difference. The
people were disgusted, and Mr..
Parker went down under the heav-
lest majority against him ever
known. in the history of the party.
The platforms upon%hich Mr..
Bryan stood in 1896 and 1900
were clear cut issues-Democratic
to the core-and no candidate
ever received such ovations as he
did. 1t was not Mr.. Bryan and
his platform that caused defeat,
but the consolidation of every
trust and monopoly in the United
States. This combination was
aided and abetted by a lot of So
called Democrats who turned
traitors to their party and its plat
forms.
The further away from the plat
forms of 1896 and 1900 we get,
the more conclusive is it that
every plank in them was correct,
and now it seems that the people,
realizing the facts, are beginning
to turn again to the man from
Nehracka fo load fhor, Mr. Rrv
an may never again be the stand
ard bearer of his party, but the
time has not yet come when he is
not regarded as one of the brain
est men of his party-a man who
has convictions and who is not
afraid to speak them. When the
reorganization takes place, if his
enemies are not careful, he will be

Jones County Farmers Will Hold Their
Cotton.

Laurel, Oct. Is. Less than
twenty FIVE bales of cotton were
sold in Laurel last week. The
farmers have all decided, it seems,
not to market it at present prices.
Last year the farmer would bring
cotton to town, deposit it with his
merchant and take a receipt for it.
This year he is keeping it at
home. Some of the farmers say
they will borrow money from the
banks and hold their cotton all
winter before they will take less
than ten cents for it. The banks
have offered to loan them money
on compress receipts as collateral.
Ginning is going on as usual but
the cotton is being stored in the
farmers yard and not brought to
town.
