BREWER OUR
NEXT GOVERNOR.
Said Eva Fay, the Noted
Spiritualist, In Answer
to a Question Asked
Her Up In Indiana
Last Year.

The following Geographic special
was sent out from Jackson more than
a year ago, July y 1906, and it begins
to look very much like the prediction
made by the noted SpirituliSt is to be
an actual reality. SpiritualiSm has en-
tered into MissisSippi's gubernational
campaign and the big contest promiS-
eS to become positively ~uncanny before
it reaches a conclusion.
Spirits are sometimes used to IN
fluence elections in the Magnolia
State but spiritulism is a new and
novel factor, and the credit for its in
production belongs to Geo. f. Reid, a
we'll known travelling salesman who
represents a Virginia tobacco house.
Mr.. Reid is an ardent admirer and
enthusiastic supporter OF Hon. Earl
Brewer, the talented young district at
torney, who has formally announced
his candidacy, and is now engaged IN
a tOur of the state. Mr.. Reid says
he was up in Indiana a few days ago
and attended a performance given by
Miss Annie Eva Fay, the noJed Spir-
itullSt. and Miss Fay predicted that
EaIl Brewer will be the next governor
of Mississippi. Mr.. Reid tells his story
as follows:
Members Of the audience were re-
quested to write questions seal them
in envelopes and place them in their
side pocket. Through sheer curiosity
| complied, writing the question:
Who will be the next governor OF
MisSissippi?'a and placing it in my poe
ket. To my surprise, she spelled my
name. and in a clear and distinct
voice answered: Earl Brewer will be
elected after the most exciting cam
paign ever witnessed in the South"
If Mr.. Brewer uas the spirituliSt on
his side it is up to the five other gen.
tlemen who are aspiring to the office
to overcome this position. Ii is not
likely, however that they will be dis
couraged by Miss Fay'S prediction, for
the nan who a summon up courage
to make the race for governor OF Miss
iSSippi is not afraid Of anything earth
ly or unearthly; SpiritualiStic, telepa-
THO, psychological or any other myster-
i0uS element unknown to man.

Clean Out Railway.

The Long Branch Record quotes former

saying of Jamesburg:-
Ii had boy whom | couldn't manage.

him to be sent to that institution.
The Hahn Committee has not gotten TO
Jamesburg yet. but from what Inquisitor
Backes has disclosed at Railway, shooting
would probably be preferable treatment for
first offenders to confinement in that State
"Reformatory''
Evidence thus far has shown that some
OF the most monstrous cruelties are practiced
at Railway. Between ignorance and bru-
tality, the inmates who are able to leave
the institution on their merits, display
great strength of character, physical endur.
ance and commendable determination to do

ment anything to admire.
Many criminal is made such by his
surroundings. The customs at Railway
would criminalize May youth who never
before thought of crime. What, then.
can be their effect on those who have al
ready started on the downward path.
Railway Reformatory should be cleaned
out, made humane, or abolished. State

found at work there. True American.

A most convincing example Of the bene-
fits of municipal ownership comes from
Wheeling, West Virginia, regarding the
town Of HarrisYllle, in that State, being
free from municipal taxation. It is stated
that the town owns and operates its own
electric Lighting plant and the profit from
the sale Of electricity, combined with the
interest from town deposits in the bank, af-
fords ample revenue for all estimated mum
icipaI expenses, so that direct taxation Of
she people is not necessary. This is certain
" very happy condition for the people Of
HarrisviIIe, and what they have accomplish
cd can be done elsewhere if the same bust
ness skill is exercised by public officials
men who are careful to transact the business
81 the community with the same regard to
economy and efficiency that they use in
their own private affairs. No municipal
public service shat is managed on partisan
lines will succeed for the reason that it il
conducted primarily for party Announcements
and not as business proposition.

Jewish Self-GOyernment Alter Eighteen
Centuries.

When in March, four years ago, the Coy
ernor of New Jersey signed the charter
creating the borough of Woodbine, it is
doubtful if he realized that the thing he
did was historic, even epoehmaking That
Woodbine was interesting he must have
known, for farming settlements of Russian
Jews do not plentinlly dot the landscape
anywhere; but Woodbine is more than
merely uncommon The Goyernor who
signed charter was giving Jews their first
chance at civic self-goyernment since Titas,
more than eighteen centuries ago, LET'S not
one stone upon another in the Holy City
and the long tragedy Of Jewish exile began.
Woodbine was founded in 1891 by the
trustees Of the Baron de Hirsh Fund in con-
nection with committee of immigrants.
Severnl little Jewish communities were al
ready prospecting in southern New Jersey,
or they were at least holding their own, SO
these seyenty-fiye Russian immigrants were
minded TO follow suit. They had 1900
acres Of land covered with scrub-oak and
stunted pine and great deal of patient en-
durance. They had also good superinten-
dent, Prof. e. L. SabsoYich, whose unfaiI,

In his report to Mayor Mcclellan of New
York, Lawson Purdy, president of the Tax
Board, makes this interesting comment on
the land values Of the city: The value of
land in New York City is SO enormous that
it is hard to realize its amount without some
comparisons. The assessed value of land
alone, exclusive Of Improvements, in the city
OF New York is greater than the assessed val
ne Of all the real estate, improvements IN
cluded, in the State of Pennsylvania and
nearly twice as great as the value Of all the
real estate, including improvements in the
State of New York outside the city. The
assessed value of the land for six square
miles of Manhattan in the neighborhood of
Central Park is greater than the assessed val
ne Of all the real estate in the State of Mis-

We wish we could say as much of Coun-
oils movements as to artesian water and
schools But we see nothing 80 commend
in the artesian water scheme, nor its treat
ment of the school question. We now have
just as good water as we will obtain from
an artesian supply. Chemists assert oul
present supply is more desirable for family
and mechanical use than the artesian. All
experts who have been here except Senator
Pfeiffer assert this
Mr.. Shivers asserts that Senator Pfeiffer
is the greatest artesian water expert in the
country. Grant this to be true We hope
it is, because Senator Pfeiffer is a personal
and political friend of ours, and we are
glad to know of his eminence, but we sub
NIT that he, like everybody else. takes
artesian water in quantity and quality as
he finds it. At Camden he obtained good
water, at Burlington he struck sewer
pocket, " at Millyille they have gone back
to surface supply, Woodstown's supply is
hard. Z" And so it goes great expert tho
he be. he takes what the earth gives up.
We can purify our present supply beyond
all question at a fraction of the cost of an
artesian supply.
Let us suppose case. Suppose the
Board of Education asked $50, 600 for new
school buildings, and submitted plans for
such. Suppose Council put experts on the
question and the experts reported our pres
ent buildings ample; indeed, more suit
able for school purposes than the plans for
the new which they proposed to build, what
standing would the Board of Education
have before the people and Council? To
put it mildly, their business capacity would
be seriously questioned.
Council has arranged public meeting at
which the people can discuss Electric Lights
and Artesian Water. We suggest that the
object Of this meeting be broadened and
people who haYe children to educate be al
lowed to express themselves on schools.
1t is true that every member of Council
favors this proposition of the Board of Edu-
cation, or processes to; it is also true that
working majority of Council have no
children in our schools, and some of them
will never have.
We do not know that these facts enter
into the case, but one can't help thinking
Of them. We do know that foot ball is
being made Of the school needs, and real
business is being made OF the water scheme.
Let US have the public meeting, and in
elude schools in the discussion.
