When Opportunity Knocks.

Some philosopher once told us
that there was a tide in the affairs
of men which if taken at the flood,
led on to fortune but if neglected the
future would be bound in shadows
and miseries. We have been edu-
Gated more or less into believing
that opportunity knocked at our door
once during our life and in case we
did not heed, it would never come
again.
Walter Malone in Munsey's Maya
zine has written a poem, however,
which cannot but prove popular
with most of US who would rather
believe that opportunity is more
generous than to come once and then
turn us down for ever more. 1t
begins:
They do me wrong who say 1 come no
"Heu OucS L huOck anu Idll 10 uuu you
For every day l stand outside your door
And bid you wake to rise and fight and
win.
Vail not for precious chances passed
away,
Weep not for golden ages on the wane.
Each night I burn the records of the
day.
At sunrise every soul is BORN again
The poet goes on to cheer US with
the sentiment hat the past may
be dead and blotted out while the
future is glorious with prospects fol
all, no matter how lowly fallen.
Of Opportunity, MI. Dooley, says:
"Opporchunity knocks at livery
mans dure wanst. On some mems
dures it hammers till it breaks down
tn dure, an thin it goes in an wakes
up if he's asleep, un' afterward il
wurruks fr him as a night watch
man. On other mems dures i
knocks and runs away, an on the
dures Of some men it knocks an
whin they come out it hits thin ovel

The Inauguration of Roosevelt.

sSS~
The Inauguration of President
Roosevelt was marked with pomp
and pageantry. 1t is said that he
took the oath of Office amid more
splendor than has any president that
has preceded him. There were
multitudes of uniformed soldiers
and there were representatives from
all States present to witness the GER
emonies on March 4.
Roosevelt has now formally been
placed in the presidential chair, and
Uncle Sam has placed him there to
rule with policies all his own. At
the Inauguration ball it is said that
the assembly was dotted here and
there with the guests of color who
had been fortunate enough to have
the sufficient amount for the pur-
chase of a ticket. Negro women
were observed previous to the great
day, bargaining at dry good stores
for the materials which they took no
means to conceal, would be worm on
Inauguration day.
It is said that the city was a SYM
phony of color. There was a blaze
of decorations that met the eye at
every turn. There we're twice as
many flags used as ever before
and the scheme adopted for the city's
adornment had never been sur
passed.
Before the eager-eyed masses, the
President emerged from the White
House and entered a magnificent
landau drawn by four white horses.
Then midst %deafening cheers the
procession swept down Pennsylvania
avenue through the line of salutine
troops with drawn sabers, to the
Capital. The oath was taken and
again he was whirled to the White
House under the protection of bands
of Rough Riders. After this the
President reviewed the magnificent
parade that was formed in his hon
or.
Thus began the four years admin.
%istration of the government under
the pomp-loving Roosevelt.

Greenwood.
written For The Commonwealth

written For The Commonwealth
GREENWOOD, The Queen City
~ of the Delta, is to have 1915
600 court house and new property to
build it on is being negotiated for,
the plat on the River Front being too
small for such gigantic structure.
And, the People want a Court
Square with trees, and grass, ETC.
growing therein. Surely, Green
wood is growing, and that fast, too.
This seems exceeding strange to
US: "Greenwood'; "S75,OOO court
house.; "a court square with green
trees. Why, it used to be all trees,
grass, ETC., and a few buildings, or
"shanties' if you like. They are
after a street railway, also. Just a
few years ago, one could stand in
one part of the town and arrest an
others attention in the other portion.
But, new Greenwood is growing.
On the east bank of the Yazoo
River, about three miles from where
the Yalabusha and Tallahatchie
form a junction and forms the
Yazoo, nestles the little burg of
Greenwood-little in this writer's
memory, and he does not like to
think of Greenwood as "a city"-the
town of our birth, the place where
the happy, laughing hours of our
childhood were Whiled away omong
the trees and the birds-basking in
the dazzling rays of Gods bright
sunshine-We have listened, in the
ecstacy of youth, to the sweet and
beautiful warblings of woodland
songsters, perched upon the branches
of tall and stately trees as their tops
would bow to and fro, far above to
the blue immensely of space; and
this is in the heart of Old Green
wood. There, too, we had our day
dreams and we're in love with all ma
ture.
That was Greenwood of yesterday
odd Greenwood-when the only
brick buildings there, were the
courthouse, (around which cling
tender r~ecollections of a barefooted
boy; pants with holes in the seat, a
stern-eyed Judge and a ten dollar
fne) Jail and P. Line warehouse.
The business houses were lined
along the River front; one church
and two dilapidated school buildings
one white and one colored, was about
all there was to the good old
town.
Four or five banks, a $4,000
courthouse, and a street railway be.

Varddman for the Senate.

Much has been said in and out of
the State press during the past
month about the selection of a sue
cessor for Senator Money, and much
speculation has been INDUCED in as
to those most likely to be candidates
for the place. Those most talked
are Hon. John Sharp Williams, Of
Yazoo, the brilliant leader of the
minority in the House, and Gov.
James K. Vardaman, of Leflore.
Some papers have expressed the
opinion that Williams and Varda-
man would not be candidates against
each other for the senate. The
Commonwealth heretofore has had
no information as to the intention of
either gentleman, but a few days
ago met a gentleman who is very
close to Governor Vardaman, and
asked him if the latter would be a
candidate for the Senate. He re-
piled:
while l have no authority from
the Governor to say so, I can assure
you that James X. Vardaman will
be a candidate for the Uuited States
Senate to succeed Senator Money,
unless the latter should decide to
run again.
Asked if the Governor would run
against Mr.. Williams, he replied:
mo, Governor Vardaman is not
not going to run against anybody.
If Senator Money r%etires, he will be
a candidate for the Senate, and will
run on his record, regardless of the
aspirations of any one else. He has
the highest personal regard for Mr..
Williams, and if the latter aspires
to the Senate, the campaign will be
pitched on a high plane, and will be
fought out by two friends, each
prompted by a laudable ambition to
serve their State in a higher sphere
of usefulness"
DO you know whether Mr.. Viii
liams is certain to be a candidate?"
"Of this | have no personal knowl-
edge. 1t is generally assumed that
he will make the race, though my
own opinion is that he would make
a mistake. He has made a splendid
record in the House, and can repre-
sent the Eighth District as long as
he wants to. In case the next House
is Democratic, he would undoubtedly
be elected Speaker, a position which
would give him more power and in
fuence than a position in the Sen
ate. In that position he could
maintain the political prestige he
now has, and would be in position
to make a race later On for the Sen
ate to succeed Senator McLaurin."
The Commonwealth has learned
from other sources that Mr.. Will
Jams is certain to make the race
and with the above declaration com
ing from a close personal and politi
cial friend of the Governor, Mississ.
ippi is sure to have a battle of the
giants and will see a campaign which
will be in many respects one of the
most remarkable in the political an.
nails of the State.
