MASONRY ooNDoNEs NO CRIME

From time immemorial the SANDER
against masonry has been steadily
promulgated that masonf will condone
crime and assist the criminal mason
to escape from the grasp Of Justice.
Never was lie permitted to survive
80 long as this. and without particle
Of evidence, being resurrected from
time to time. Free masonry is not
organized to sustain and protect it's
members in wrong-doing. It is based
upon obedience to the moral law and
that Of the land in which it is located.
It throws no shield about the criminal
nor has tt any use for such. The
commission Of crime is serious in
fraction Of masonic obligation, and
is obligated to shield or condone
crime, else would ninety mine
hundredths Of the membership leave
the institution in disgust. On the
contrary, itseeks to make men pure.

CHARACTER IS WHAT COUNTS.

A good many people are heard to
complain that the wicked are prosper
ous that they can ride in their fine
carriages and their automobiles and
live In luxury, while honest people
who try to do right, have to work
hard and only have . small part Of
the luxuries Of life, Some times it
does look like things are unevenly
constructed, but generally those who
have sold their souls for money come
to some bad end at last, an end that
is not to be envied by any living man.
The other day there died by his own
hand in New York q man who was
worth four or five million dollars. He
had enough money to have made q
hundred or more men what might be
called rich. He made the money by
defrauding the poor on what was
known as policy game. Adams was
considered The king Of policy crooks.

THE WORK OF THE DEVIL.

Il wasn't Missouri editor but a
printers devil who was going thro
his first experience In making up the
forms. The paper was late and the
boy got the galleys mixed. The first
part Of the obituary notice Of a PEN
orious citizen had been dumped in. the
forms, and the next handful Of type
came of Of gally describing recent
fire. It read like this:
''The pail bearers lowered the body
TO the grave and AZ 1t was consigned to
the flames there were few If any re-
grets, for the old wreck had been an
eyesore to the town for years. OF
course there was individual loss, but
that was fully covered BY insurance. !"
The widow thinks the editor wrote
the obituary that way because the La
mented partner Of her joys and sor-
rows owed him Ave years subscription.

The figures and statistics compiled
by the tax assessors Of the state,
which are now practically all in
hand, furnish an interesting study and
some instructive comparative figures.
The rolls so far received at the An.
ditor's Office show that Harrison coun-
ty, at the extreme soush, comes first
in the matter of land valuation, with
total of 81, 4O5. 8O8, and with COM,
bined total which leads the field,
overlapping Kinds, which is the next
highest, by an even million dollars.
The county Of Benton, which Is at the
extreme northern limit, shows up least,
with a realty list valued at $668, S08,
and personality 1888. 1873, or : combined
valuation of $1,oo2,146. By some
sort OF curious coincidence, the figures
represented by the combined realty
values Of Pontotoo, Prentiss, Quitman
and Rankin counties, taking them
alphabetically and at random, for
comparative purposes, are almost ex-
actly the same as those showing the
increase in both personally and realty
of Harrison county, the combined real
estate property aggregating the sum Of
$7,505, 985, while the Harrison county
increase under both heads is 81, 500, 272
"a difference Of only $713. The
ten highest counties on the roll are |:
Harrison $l4, 415, 532, Kinds $13, 44O,.
PA, Lauderdale $11,5-1, $50, Perry
$40, 1854, 1914. Warren 1894. 1850, Yazoo
So, 080,678 Washington $7,845, 1856,
Adams $7,099,674, Jones $6,512, 40,
Lincoln $e, POS, 1906. The sum total Of
valuation of property, real and per.
sonal, in these ten counties is $94. !.
907, 211, against $71, 1888, 232 for the
same counties, as FER the former as

WILLIAMS DISCUSSES VARDA
MANS PLATFORM.

In political addresses delivered dur.
ing the past week Congressman LJohn
Sharp Williams has been taking q
hard rap at the chief executive plank
in Governor Vardaman's platform,
viz; the repeal Of the fifteenth
amendment, says the Jackson News.
The democratic minority leader ad-
mits that the repeal Of the fifteenth
amendment is highly to be desired,
but points out that it is something
impossible to accomplish, and adyo-
cacy Of such ar. issue is mere waste
of words.
If Governor vardaman has patent
method Of Of repeating the fifteenth
amendment, says Mr.. Williams,
all he has to do is to show Anse Mo-
Laurin, fernando Money, and humble
self, how to do the trick and It will
be done.''
Furthermore, If the governor Is
carrying this recipe around in his
head, or anywhere else, for that mat
ter, his patriotism, and his love for
his people, ought to compel him to
make it public before congress meets
again.

JUDGE TRULY's SPEECH.

Judge Truly in . recent speech said:
''Sinoe my candidacy for governor was

assaulted by the vioksburg Herald. I

The Vicksburg Herald stands as spokes-
man for the Illinois Central railroad,
the Southern railroad, and other con-
soienceless public service corporations
in their fight to become the masters,
instead of the servants, Of the people.
I did not expect the Herald to support
me. 1t never supports anybody the
railroads oppose, and it never opposes
anybody the railroads support. do
not expect the support Of the Morgans.

any Of the railroads and newspapers

to buy votes for the republican party
in the north.

a.badge Of honor.
''The railroads fought Bryan, the
democratic nominee for president in
1896 and again in 1900. The Vicks-
burg Herald then fought side by side
with the railroads and against the
democratic nominee. It is still fight
ing side by side with the railroads,
and may be expected to continue to do
so. The railroad magnates rob the
cotton farmers Of the state Of Missis-

the money summering in Europe, while
