A SAD DEATH.
Leslie HOlberg Found Dead in His Room
at the University at Oxford Last
Sunday.

The death OF Leslie, the eighteen year
old son Of Mr., and Mrs, L. F. Holberg,
cast gloom over the entire community.
He was young man of exemplary
habits and beloved by all who knew
him. The sad intelligence, came to his
father without warning on Saturday
morning, last in a telephone message
from Oxford. which stated that he was
found dead in his bed at the University.
His health had been a subject Of uneasi.
ness to his parents for some time, and
the reports that came out in the even
ing papers that there swas a suspicion OF
foul play as the cause of his death were
given no Credence here,
Mrs. Holberg was attending a meet
ing of the u, D C's in Gulfport, and
was wired to come home Immediately,

delivered until late in the afternoon and
too late to catch the first train. When

Ship Island railroad heard Of the situa-
ton be Immediately interested himself
in the matter and Mrs. Holberg and
Mrs. V. c. Cayett were soon on their
way to Hattesbutg, where they Ghoped

Judge Them by Their Acts.

The Republicans of Missouri
were given majority in the cleo
tion of 1904. Some persons say
this result came from the popular
ity of the head of the national Re-
publican ticket, while others claim
that it was merely negative oe-
curance due to the dissatisfaction
Of Democrats and their failure to
vote. But it remains to be proved
that Missouri was not then, or is
not now, a Republican state on any
fail expression of its political
views at the polls. 1t Is useless to
90 into conjecture on this point.
Another election is near. Again
the issues are Joined. Have the
Republicans made a worthy use Of
the responsibilities placed on them
in the state two years ago: This
is the question to be intelIigently
examined and passed on at the
| lolis November c. If the result
Of 1904 was an ''accident," was it
fortunate one for Missouri.
With the exception of governor
the Republicans elected the state
officers. This record will bear in
spection. The state treasurer is
complying strictly with the laws
and receiving for the states benefit
a great deal more interests on de
posits than was ever known be
fore. The secretary of state has
made sure that book examinations
examine. Achievements by the
attorney general are of national
moment. All the Republican state
officers are acquitting themselves
creditabIy. BY the election of a
Republican house, with a Republic
can majority on Joint ballot, the
atmosphere at the state capital was
cleared of the old corrupt intll
ences, and reform legislation was
carried through rs far rs it could
be reached in a divided general as
>emh|y. The majority nf Repuh-
licun cougressmen elected have
given a good account of themscl-
YES. Their work suggests that it
would be good thing to have
more of the same kind. On these
ground. The Republicans ask for u

Rooseyelt's Record.

! President Roosevelt has proved
himself to be one Of the greatest
friends the people Of this country
have ever had. He has done more
to stop the evil work Of dangerous
men than any other president we
have ever had. A number of dis
honest capitalists, who were add
ing to their great wealth by I'M
lawful means, have been stopped
in their criminal careers by the
present administration. The coal
trust, the oil trust, the meat trust,
the railroad combinations and 9th
er great aggregations of capital
have learned to respect President
RooseveIt's "Big Stick" if indeed
they do not fear it. They have
learned that our president is sin
cere in his efforts to protect and
help the people of this great coun-
try. Some of us may not agree
| with all Of his policies, but at least
we must acknowledge that he is
one OF our greatest presidents,
greater than all, unless we except
George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln. And yet some believe
that Theodore Roosevelt is greater
than either or both Of them. Time
will tell. But Of one thing we may
all be sure, and that is-President
Roosevelt and his administration
will occupy many pages in the
history Of cur country, and his
name is forever written in the
Book of Fame. Better than that,
it is written on the hearts Of the
people of this country.
But President Roosevelt cam ct
do everything alone. He must
have the support of a majority Of
the members Of the United States
Senate and House OF Representa-
tives. With Congress supporting
him, be can do m uch good. This
fall in many states we will have
the opportunity to vote for mem
bers of Congress. Let US be care
full how we vote. Let Us vote only
for men who will work for the
good of the people of this great
country.-Twentieth Century Re
