Serious charges are made by officials
of the department of state at Wash
ington against certain United States
cOnSulS in the orient, notably those at
Canton, Singapore. 1t is said OF them
that they are constantly drunk and
they keep immoral company and that
they have been using their positions
to intimidate citizens and for merce-
nary purposes generally. 1t is fact
that has long been realized that our
consular service was very ineffective
and yielded inadequate results. Plans
are now being inaugurated to look to
the moral character of appointments
as one of the first requirements.
Drunkenness and immortality go hand
in hand.

HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE.

Voter" in last Sundays Clarion
Ledger suggests that the politicians
had best wait to hear from the people
on the governorship:
The way the newspaper supporters
OF Mr.. Scott and Judge Truly are at
tempting to horn of the other aSpir.
ants for the governorship from the DO
litical field, and to divide up the com.
mon people as IL they were so many
cattle, between these two distinguish
ed gentlemen, is positively amusing
to diSinterested observer. We sup
pose it is true that each of these gen.
tlemen has an organized body of poll
ticians behind him who can be relied
upon to raise a high dust and noise
for their favorite, but at best they
are but an army OF cOlODels, and the
common people must finally decide the
matter for themselves. 1t would seem
therefore that the candidate who
comes nearest to representing the av-
erage voter will win in the end, the
politicians to the contrary nOtwith-
standing. The nomination in the COM
ing contest for the gOvernorship will
undoubtedly be won upon the stump
and directly at the people, and in such
contest we are informed that the
Hon. Earl Brewer cannot be over
looked by those who desire to pick the
winner. Without aristocratic ante
eedentS and coming as he does direct
ly from the ranks of the average eiti-
zenShip of the state, it is probable
that his candidacy will appeal very
strongly to the average voter. We are
told by those who have known Mr..
Brewer from childhood that from the
time he commenced as a pennileSS
STRIPPING boy to support widowed
mother and her younger children, in
every position both private and pub
lie which he has held, he has shown
the sterling qualities of head and
heart which in after life have made
him every inch a man. Behind Mr..
Brewer there stands no organized
clique or clan nor has he any high OFF,
cial sponsor, and yet in spite OF all
this the people, the common every
day people, may yet crown one Of
their own as victor in the contest.
We are told that Mr.. Brewer is decid-
edly the best speaker in the race and
our people will delight to hear him.
1t might be we'll then to wait until
the people are heard from before mar
rowing the field to the two diStin-
guiShed gentlemen mentioned, for
verify the wiSacreS are sometimes
foOled''

GRENADA STANDS BY THE COLLEGE

The City Council at its April meet
ing, 1905, passed an anti-piking ordi-
aance which we published at that time.
When the ordinance was passed a
large number of our most prominent
citizens were before the Council asking
for such action. The Council was
duly apprised Of conditions that made
the ordinance imperative and it grew
out Of it's best Judgment and its
deliberative wisdom. In endorsing
the action of the Council The Sentinel
stated:
''It is hoped that no one will ever
be arraigned under it and that those
who have made its enactment neceS-
sary will realize that public sentiment
is behind the ordinance and that they
will not humiliate their relatives and
friends by SO far forgetting their chiv-
valry and their good breeding as to
tranSgreSs any rule or. law that they
have been politely and repeatedly re-
queSted to observe"
The College is an important factor
10 Grenada. 1t brings much business
here. 1t is a good advertisement for
the town and no better testimonial
could be asked, as to the high class of
our citizenship and the chivalry and
good order of our people, from the par
.ents who are patrons of the school in
various parts of the state. Grenada
is in hearty sympathy with the
school and our citizenship is ready
and will cooperate with President
Clifton and the management in
the enforcement Of any rule de-
signed for the furtherance of the ed
vocational aims of the College and the
care of the young ladies. Mr.. Clifton
is a practical man. He is not arbit-
rary and unreasonable: but that boy or
young man who thinks that he can be
frightened or bullied into the abroga-
'tion or varying Of any rule to suit his
-whimS or caprices is very much mis-
taken. Grenada realizes the high val
ue of the College and will stand by
President Clifton.
We make these observations with
out reference to any particular indi-
yidual. We make due allowances for
the impetuosity of youth and its IL
ability to err and we hope that any
errors Of the past will be as lamps to
the feet Of the erring for the future.
ID is the manly man that profits by
mistakes.

POSSESS YOUR SOUL.

The trenchant pen of the esteemed
editor Of the Water Valley Herald in
dites a concatenatOn of satire and
irony because, fOrSOOth, we intimated
that the personality of the Hon. Earl
Brewer, as compared with the other
gubernatorial candidates, would be a
potential clement in his favor in the
race for governor. The Herald editor
seems to regard the word personal
ity" as referring to the physical
makeup, the contour, the features.
We beg to say that there is a marked
difference as to the meaning of this
word as understood by our brother
editor and a man of mediocre notori-
ETY. by the name of Webster, who
compiled 4 dictionary in the years
gone by.
However, we will say that nature
has done a great deal for Mr.. Brewer.
He is a man of commanding presence
and in general physique, will compare
fav0rably with any man in the field.
Brother, possess your soul! If Brew
er'S candidacy. in its very incipiency,
has thrown you into a paroxySm OF
quixotry, we will indeed pity the alb
erration of your mind when the can
yasS gets under full sway.
