Slang.

The suspicion that a Brooklyn school
girl killed herself because she had
been threatened with punishment for
using slang may or may not be we'll
founded. It is unquestionable, how
ever, that among school children. as
we'll as elsewhere, the use of slang is
entirely too prevalent. There are
some slang words which are not only
Objectionable, but decidedly useful,
and which may profitably be incorpor-
ated into the vocabulary of the Ian
guage. Not few of our words
which now enjoy unchallenged stand
ing had their origin in slang. I'm.
fortunately, there are still more slang
words and phrases which serve no
useful purpose, but which are simply
vulgar and offensive, if not actually
indecent or profAne. The discourage
ment and suppression Of these would
be a greater service to the language
than the elimination of few superb
luous letters in photography. Elk.

clined to get something for nothing.
In the coal regions there are all kinds
people, from the highly civilized to
the very lowest specimens of tho
human race. Many Of them would
stir up strife il their wages were
doubled. for they dearly love strife.
We, of the south, are SO situated
that we cannot form any opinion as
to which to the disputes is the most
right or most wrong.
The people of the south are not SO
much concerned about the impending
coal strike, except railroads and manu-
featuring concerns, for we expect to
be warm anyway for eight months.
We do not know whether the opera
tors really want the miners to 60 on
mining coal or not. In some places
they are willing to sign q satisfactory
contract and other places they are not.
If the coal mine owners can decrease
the output and thereby raise the
price, and at the same time throw the
blame on the miners, it may be quite
to their liking. Meridian Sun.

CUT 1T OUT.

The McComb City Enterprise
gives the following good advice,
which ought to be needed: Missis-
sippi is rotton with politics The
Legislature is stirred up as bad as
if it were bee hive kicked over by
mule. A large part Of the press of
the state is as busy as negro preach
er with yellow Jackets in his pants,
and the Office seekers are trotting
around like road hogs.
Such a condition at this early date
is disgrace to the state. To inject
into the state at this time heated
campaign for all the offices, from
Constable to United States senator
means that all other interests will be
relegated to the rear, and that in
dustrial activity will cease for nearly
two years.
It is an undisputed fact that
business is always dull during elect
ion years, therefore the longer the
public mind is occupied with politics
the longer the dull season will be
upon us. We have scarcely recovered
from the yellow fever campaign, and
now we are thrust into a political
campaign, when may we look for an
industrial campaign?
If the state papers that are devoting
wh0la columns tn advocatinO thair
choice for senator, governor, or some
other job for some other fellow,
would devote the same time and space
to pointing out the natural advan-
tages of Mississippi for the invest
ment of capitol in the various in
dustries, and the legislative needs Of
the state they would serve the people
to much better advantage. If the
legislature would ''cut politics out"
and get right down to business, the
financial condition of the state might
be considerably improved.
The great trouble is we put too
much stress on men instead Of meas
ures We assume the roll of heroe
makers and worshipers rather than
industrial developers. Too many Of
us would rather make great big rich
politician than great big rich state.
Cut it out; it is too early to begin
the campaign. Let's have more
business and less politics.

That penitentiary committee over
at Jackson is a curiosity. We have
not doubted that there is some loose
ness in the management of that in
stitution--some politics and little
tendency to graft; some carelessness
and smattering Of inhumanity; but
the report of the Rankin county farm
is dead give-away. They were not
constituted a judge and jury, but
simply a committee of unbias- minded
men to gather the facts, and nothing
but facts, and present them to the
legislature Meridian Sun.
