The Vicksburg Herald is greatly
exercised because, as it says, Senator
McLaurin and u. S. Marshal Wilson
went to the "White House" together.
1t refers to the fact that Senator Nc
Laurin and Marshal Wilson were at
outs in 1928, and speaks Of their 60
ing to the "White House. together as
nesting and wonders which took
the other to the "White House -
Senator McLaurin and Marshal Will
son have composed their animosities.
At the time mentioned in 1898 the
Herald and Mr.. Wilson were ''nest-
ling" and at the next national cleo
tion the Herald opposed the democratic
ticket headed by Mr.. Bryan, or, as it
termed it, ''repudiated" the demo-
cratic ticket. and thereby contributed
to the election of the republican tick
ct, on which was the present occupant
of the "White House - But to re-.
lieve the anxiety of the Herald Sena-
tor McLaurin and Wilson did not 60
to the white House" together.
Senator McLaurin was at the "White
House" in behalf of the people OF
Natchez to try to have a battleship at
Matched during Mardi Gras, and Mr..
Wilson entered while Senator Nc.
Laurin was there.

tinents into close contact will be per-
fected, and their service will be
cheapened so that other than million
airs may hope to receive or convey q
message. Electricity that man has
chained and made his servant will be-
come the light Of the world. It
rivals the sun in radiance and no one
will question it's striking qualities.
In the future electricity will be used
to Tropel the farm pillow and the old
farm horses will be sold for army
rations. A bridge will span the
Atlantic ocean. Electric cars with
fine cars attached will convey young
America to Old England without the
aid of steam. Sea sickness will be
abolished. kThe whole world will be
run by electric bells. Telephones
will connect every town and hamlet.
The planet, Mars, will be in direct
communication with the earth. The
linotype will do away with old
fashioned type setting. Women will
have the ballot and will be elected to
congress and the senate Of the United
States and when there will wrangle
as persistently as the men. Women
and men will seek wider fields Of
mental activity. The Indian war;
hoop will give place to the sweet
music of cultured orchestras. The
wigwarm will be deserted by the
Indian maiden, who will discard the
garb of her race, and, clothed in fine
raiment, will play her grand piano
with the grace of our town belle.
The Filipinos will become civilized
and christianized and the nude Ma
lays, who now occupy these much
coveted islands, will become social
stars, and in palatial homes will
entertain the president of the United
States and his cabinet officials. The
ladies, gowned in rich velvets and
satins brilliant in costly jewels, will
be added to the monied aristocracy Of
America Portraits Of the generals,
who whipped these barbarians into
these happy conditions, will be found
in the drawing rooms Of Manila.
''The Star Spangled Banner will
continue to float over Cuba.
These representations are not
based on fairy tales or vaQarics of
the imaginations, but on facts. The
past is a guarantee for the advanced
ideas of the future. In noting the
posi- Utilities of the future we must not
forget what coming centuries hold in
keeping for our own sunny town, or
the part she may play in the shifting
drama of the future. Our town with
her schools and her churches, must
have some humble part in the worlds
achievements.

THE PAST AND THE FUTURE.

IdE FASI AMI IdE FUTURE.
So near the beginning of new
year is proper time to review the
past Rand if possible peer into the
future.
All history is mere romance unless
studied as an example. By iti
guidance we can travel back over the
centuries that slumber. It is with 8
reverens hand that we lift the veil
that time has drapped over q sacred
past. While the world was yet new
we find students busy developing
theories and systems to be perfected
by coming generations, thus aiding in
opening up new paths in the fields Of
literature, science and art. The
torch of genius cannot be extin-
guished. Thinkers are mortal but
thoughts immortal. Great leaders
die but principles are eternal. Only
by studying the past can we rightly
estimate the possibilities of the future
and what better mental food can we
crave than that which furnishes such
lasting stimulus to earnest endeavor.
Each century sweeps clean the loves
and hates of. its predecessors, yet its
achievements are never forgotten; its
ambitions, it's emotions die, each task
is laid down, but the truthes set in
motion will live and gather strength
as the years go by.
The decisions rendered by the di-
plomats of the past continue to sway
the judicial world of today. Black
stones legal reputation has suffered
no diminution during the years that
have swept over his grave. Gladstone
will be greater power in the po-
litical life of Europe in hundred
years hence, than he was at the time
his masterful brain was darkened by
the eclipse Of death. Herbert
Spencer, who has spent the best years
of long life in study that he might
give to the world a comprehensive
generalization OF modern thought, has
sealed his fame, and his name will be
honored centuries after his frail body
sleeps with the mighty thinkers who
preceded him. Time passed in the
society of great minds is always
helpful.
AS we turn from the past to con-
slider some Of the Probabilities Of the
future, may we not claim for our
selves higher resolves for self develop
ment, which as . rule means self
promotion? The onward march Of
civilization "has made the deserts bud
and blossom As the rose' and as We 60
from conquest to conquest, what Is ii
reserve for coming generations is an
easy prediction. The motto carriage
will be the carriage Of tho future.
