COL. sCOTT's CANDIDACY.

Scott has announ ced that he is q
candidate for Governor. We have
expected this for some time. Col.
Scott is very close to Mr.. Stuyvesant
Fish, president of the Illinois Central
Rsilroad Company and, we believe,
also at th Q head of the Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley Railroad Comp any
that Irrigated through the courts of
this state to the supreme court of the
United States to escape paying taxes
as other folks are required to pay.
Col. Scott is an attorney of the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley Railroad Com
pany. and when he was making ap-
pointments few days ago to some
convention Col. Fish was the first, or
about the first, name on his list.
Col. Fish was invited, few years
ago, to deliver an address at the Uni
versity, at Oxford, and either de.
clined or failed to make the address,
but wrote long letter urging the
people of Mississippi as state to
assume and pay the Union, and Plant
ers' Bank bonds of about three quar-
tiers of century ago, amounting now
to something like fifty or sixty millions
of dollars. Since then others, of Col I.
Scott's close associates, have advocated
the assumption of that enormous debt
by the state of Mississippi. There is
provision in the state constitution
prohibiting the payment of those bank
bonds by the state. There is also a
decision of the supreme court that the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad
property. for which railroad company
Col. Scott is attorney, is taxable.
But if the supreme court could be
stocked by gubernatorial appointment
with subserviant judges the former
decision could be overturned; as also
the provision in the constitution
against the payment by the state of
the bank bonds might be held nuga.
tory on the unwarranted theory that
it was beyond the power of the con-
vention.
1t would take man regardless of
Che law and the rights of the plain
people to do this. But did not Col.
Scott borrow from the county treas
urer, who was under his influence,
and use the county's money when the
county's warrants were at heavy
discount and the money was needed
for their payment? thus disregarding
the rights of the people and the law
which made it felony for the treas
urer to loan the money. Is not Col.
Scott ineligible now, by his own act,
under Section 10 of the constitution,
and could he take the oath of office
under Section 26S of the constitution
without forswearing himself thus dis
regarding the law and the rights of
the people, who have a right to re-
quire that all men be alike amenable
to the constitution.
We lave no comment to make upon
Col. Scott's fighting duel, except to
say that If Section 10, which makes
ineligible those who fight duels,
should not apply to Col. Scott it should
not apply to any one else, and, there.
fore, should be struck out of the on
stitution.

Life an Easy Lesson.

These hurrying days, these
busy times of ours, are wasted
when they take our hearts away
from patient gentleness and give
us fame for love and gold for
kisses. Some day when our hun
CRY souls will seek for bread our
selfish god will give US stone.
Life is not a deep, profound, per-
picking problem. 1t is a simple,
easy lesson, such as any child
may read. You cannot find its
solution in the ponderous tones
of the old fathers, the philoso-
pliers, the theorists. Tits not on
your bookshelves, but in the
warmest corner of the most un-
lettered heart it glows in letters
that the blindest may read, a
sweet, plain, simple, easy, loving
lesson. And when you have learn
ed, it, brother of mine, the world
will be better and happier.-R.

THE NATIONAL ROAD.

The National Good Roads As
sooiation is a powerful foroe for
good, and its work is accomplishing
results in all p rts of the United
States. 1t is engaged in many
things that will benefit the people
One of the great schemes it has IN
mind and which it has set about to
accomplish. is the repair and re-
building of the great national II ad
across Maryland, Pennsylvania
West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana.
That memorable road was intend
ed to be one of the highways be
tween the East and West before
Railroads were known. 1t wae
built at great expense, costing the
Federal Government over seven
million dollars. snd during the
early days was famous highway
over which thousands travelled
ege-y week. When railroads came
into existence the nstional road was
neglected. and today it is only
skeleton of what onoe was.
1t is proposed to rebuild it, and
the National Good Roads Assooia.
tion has undertaken to have it done
by the government. The length
of the road is about 700 miles, and
it can be rebuilt for less than seven
million dollars ($7.000.0O0) That
is about the cost of one good bat
tleship, and we are building lots of
them. The appropriation of that
sum to make this old road across
FIVE states would do as much good
as the average battleship, for not
one suoh ship in ten will ever get
in fight. Then, when the old
road has been put in good shape to
the Mississippi River. it may be
that the price of about three other
battleships will be set aside to
build the road to the Pacific coast
One first class continuous high
way aoross the continent would be
a great thing. Many a traveller
would spend two to three months
going'and coming by team, bicycle,
automobile, or otherwise. It would
be easy for the nation to do thing
like this.

ty thousand Americans visited

going over the first.class European
roads paid over $50o,ooo,o0O.-
