WHAT THE TIMES
STANDS FOR

The Times believes in hewing to
the line, '1let the chips fall where they
may" AS best as can be judged its
editorials have Always been for the
high moral standing of the communi-
ty and county. 1t does not believe in
hiding any faults that can be eradi-
Gated. 1t does not believe in crying
Peace, peace, when there is no
peace"
1t is false policy to try to con-
vince the people that law and order
prevails when there are fragrant vio-
lations of the law that even the blind
could see. We are not perfect nor
are the people all perfect, nor are all
the laws governing us; but it is our
duty, as newspaper publishers, to ex-
ert all the influence we can for the
good and betterment of all
The Times has been severely criti-
cised for recent editorial about
'Wide open Leland" We wish to
state that Greenville would have been
as harshly criticised had it occurred
here. We do not hold Greenville up
to view as an ideal model of city in
everything, but no minors are allowed
to enter any place Objectionable or
where chance games are in operation
in this city.
We feel sure that the mothers and
fathers of our children are with us
in protecting their moral influences
as far and as long as possible. The
good people of every and any COM
munity will comment any action for
their own benefit and the benefit OF
growing generations.

UNCLE SAM
IN CUBA

There has been all along a growing
sentiment in favor of Cuba's annexa-
ton among the people of the United
States and large part of the Cuban
people and since the present revolu-
ton started, this sentiment has grown
to be a demand upon the u. S. that it
does take Cuba under its stars and
stripes.
The landed interest of Cuba is to-
day largely owned by Americans and
millions of American money has been
invested there in various kinds of
enterprises.
These people and interests must be
protected from monthly rebellions
as seems to be the fashion in this
and other South American republics.
The war with Spain was for the
peace of sCuba and America can not
afford to let it be broken up by a
civil strife. But we are frank to con-
Tess. we don't believe it will ever
cease till the Pearl of the Antilles
witness Old Glory waving again from
Moro Castle.

DOWN WITH THE
PISTOL TOTER.

1t is time now that every law
abiding and peaceful citizen of the
State, aroused to the highest pitch
of indignation by the shooting of
last Sunday and Monday, on two diff
ferent trains, demand the full enforce
ment of the law against the crime Of
pistol toting and those who are
guilty.
The fact that men have been killed
by promiscuous gun shooting on
trains enroute, will have most dis
astrous effect on the States ADVANCE
ment and progress.
Law-abiding and peaceful people
do not care to even travel through the
State with the fear of being shot and
killed at any time, and much less do
they desire to settle and make their
homes among people fiery in temper
and quick in gun action. Such dis
graceful occurrences leave an inde1-
IDLE impression upon the minds of
those who wish to locate here IN
Mississippi, and if these gun tragedies
continue there will be a general exc
dus from this State.
Mississippi has enacted stringent
laws against pistol toting The ma
jority of her people are against the
practice, but let the laws go unen-
forced, and all the desire for safety
and peace will be for naught, all the
work to bring industries and citizens
here will be for nothing.
To protect the good name of the
State of Mississippi, to induce the
people to enter within her borders
and make their homes with us, it is
necessary to preserve the peace and
life of her people.
The Times herewith makes its plea
for the safeguarding of people within
our borders. 1t denounces the pistol
toter and demands the enforcement of
the law against him. The future well
fare of the State demands it.

Of the Democratic National Commit
tee he possesses no little influence
And yet Mr.. Bryan, who denounced
him two years ago as = highwayman,
calls for Mr.. Sullivan's scalp. Time
has not lessened his objection to the
man and what he represents. and,
putting aside all advice to the con-
trary, he takes his stand. That is
Jacksonian-distinctly Jacksonian.
Take the case of his advocacy Of
Government ownership of railroads
The South, in number and emincnce,
had f1ocked to Ne wYork to greet
him. The Democratic pick of that
whole section filled the hotels, and all
were shouting for him for President.
They had but one request to make,
and that related to the railroad quest
ton Would he please reserve the
point of Government ownership until
another time? They were opposed to
it and wanted to discuss it with him.
Not a man of them was invited to a
conference about the speech the night
before it was delivered. The leaders
of the coteries thus honored were
Tom Johnson, Henry George, fad
dist, a Jersey politician, named Bob
Davis, and Lewis Nixon, New York
shipbuilder with Tammany connec-
tions!. And the striking feature of
the speech as delivered was the adj
vocacy of Government ownership of
railroads. In the assertion of indie
pendence, Jacksonian - distinctly
Jacksonian.
We shall see now how the spirit OF
Jackson fits these times and Jackson
old party There were some strong
Democrats in Jackson's day who OPP
posed him, but he overbore them all.
He made his will the party law. Can
Mr.. Bryan do that? What say Henry
Watterson, and Joseph w. Bailey,
and many other Democrats, very
much alive and kicking? Mr.. Bryan
has spoken. Will they yield?

sIssoN SURELY
KNOWS BETTER

In his political address to the cleo
tors, Mr.. Sisson, of Winona, who is a
candidate for the nomination of Gov
ernor, declares that "the Governor
has no power or influence and that
every law is enacted by the power of
the Legislative body of the State"
If that is Mr. Sisson's conception of
the Gubernatorial office then we are
surprised that he should have remain
ed in the field as long as he has. He
should lay off couple of weeks TO
read up on the duties of the Gov
ernor. If he will do this he will find
that the Governor of Mississippi has
a world of power and influence. But
Mr.. Sisson knows better. He is a
lawyer There is no reason why he
should lay off to study up on this
question Besides, Mr. Sisson knows
how just word from Governor Var
daman bluffed the Legislature of 1906
on the amount of capital that a cor
poration should be allowed to con-
troll
Every school boy knows that the
Legislature passes the bills, every
man who is old enough to vote knows
that the Governor is a power in his
own State.
Furthermore, Mr. Sisson is we'll
aware of the fact that the Governor
w'ields a tremendous influence through
his power to appoint judges, chancel-
lors, etc, and what's the matter with
his authority to grant pardons? No
power or influence? Pshaw! The
Governor is the Chief Executive of
the State and Chief Executive means
a whole lot in our form of govern
ment. By his own words, Mr.. Sisson
places himself beyond the reach OF a
Mississippi elector in this race for the
Gubernatorial nomination.-Natc

PASADENA, Feb 25.-As the result
of two early morning shooting affrays
among Mexicans just east of Lamanda
Park one of the participants will die,
another was dangerously injured, a
young woman was seriously injured
about the head and three others are
suffering from pistol wounds in diff
ferent parts of their anatomies.
The first affair and the most serious
one began at the Toll ranch east of
Lamanda Park, when at O'Clock this
morning Santos Alvarado and his
brother, Jesus Alvarado, got into a
drunken dispute with Manuel Coronado.
When the smoke Of combat cleared
away Coronado lay on the ground with
pistol wound in his +omach presum-
ably caused by the weapon of Santos
Alvarado, and the two brothers were
running toward Lamanda Park to
escape the officers.
AS the two neared Lamanda Park
Santos knocked at the door of a Mexi-
can shack on their way, and when the
door opened and comely Mexican girl
appeared before him he deliberately
struck her squarely in the face with a
great boulder, telling her to the floor
Then the men continued their flight.
Constables Harley Newell and w. C.
Austin were at once notified and with
surgeon hastened to the scene. Cor
onado was found mortally wounded
and was haStent to the Pasadena hos
pital for an operation. The girl. Mary
Rameriz, recovered consciousness and
an examination showed that her nose
had been broken, one eye seriously in
Jured and her face and head badly cut
and bruised.
AT a. m, while DR.. Mccoy was still
working over the Mexican at the hospl-
tai second bloody fight was in prog
ress near the scene of the first. Juan
Torres and c. Manzo Mexicans who
have had some trouble before and who
have been making threats against each
other. suddenly met at the little Mexi-
can hamlet known as Pixley street
one-half mile east Of Lamanda Park
simultaneously both men drew their
pistols and began shooting. Torres re-
ceved a bullet through one ear,
glancing bullet through the scalp at
one side and another bullet DETECTED
