His Political Career.

Mr.. Crosby never aspIred to any
political office, either state or 10
cally, He was content to remain d
private citizen, using his paper for
the betterment OF politics, and for
the betterment Of civic and private
life Aside from his being postmas-
ter of the city of Water Valley his
only position under appointment was
that Of secretary and treasurer of the
Board of Mississippi Levee Commits
sioners, which office he held at
the time of his death. This position
OF trust Inc kept with credit to HIM
self In all his career his character
has never been besmirched with any
wrong doing, and he fulfilled every
trust imposed in him honestly and
honorably. He had strong prefer
politically honored and fought to the
last ditch for their victory and cleo
ton. No statesman ever had strong
er friend or harder fighter for his in
tereStS imam tnOSe VINO Claimed his
support and friendship. He never
allowed his political preferences, how
ever, to blind him to- the good OF
others, and gave credit and honor
to his political opposites whenever
they, when in power, acted justly
and honorably. Mr.. Crosby was new
er barrow minded or prejudiced, and
accepted the defeat of his friends
philosophically when they were over
thrown. There are those who car
testify to his answering devotion as
long as there was a fighting chance
and as fighter behind the lines he
was strong force in many political
oombats.

His Death

Lingering between lie and death
tor e3gh>een hours in an unconscious
state, Henry Thorne Crosby, editor
and proprietor Of the Morning and
Weekly Times died Friday morn
ina at us o'clock, at his residence
No 6o8 North Poplar street Every
thing was done that could be done
TO save his lie, but the struggle was
too eteat even for his wonderful
vitality The end came peacefully
and quietly and he now rests in the
sleep that knows no awakening until
She resurrection morn.
DR.. 4. G. Payne, his family phys
clan. was at his bedside all through
the kong watches OF the night, and
neighbors ant friends assisted in
the futile efforts TO revive him. Never
was there a more faithful physician,
or more untiring friends than those
who tried with the greatest human
efforts, mingled with prayers to
save the frail thread of life from snap
ping. but it was TO no avail, and the
days of one who increasingly labor
ed for the good of home, city and
state was end>'d.

WORDS OF WISDOM
FROM AN INDIAN CHIEF

The Trans Mississippi Commercial
Congress is now under way at Musko-
gee. Okla, and some very interesting
addresses were delivered yesterday.
Moty Tigr, Principal Chief OF the
Creek Nation spoke against the re-
moval of restrictions from the land
of the Five Civilized Tribes. He said
in part:
"Al1 citizens of this government
have been and are encouraged to buy
the best citizenship is made up of
the one hundred and sixty acre home
owners. In the light of this teaching
and truth. why should my people b
couraged to sell their lands
THE polished and educated man
with Indian blood in his veins who
advocates the removal of restrictions
from the lands of my ignorant people
is only reaching for gold to ease his
itching palms, and our posterity will
remember him only for mis- avariancc
and his treachery.
Il together with many full-b1ood
Indians, are capable OF caring for and
protecting my property rights, but 4
decided majority of my people are
merely crawling children in the
white mans business world. The man
in our midst who here or elsewhere
intends for the removal on restrictions
upon the land. of the full blood
he is indifferent, insensible and dead
to their best interests. And such con
tentlon has no more foundation to
rest upon than declaration from
one, who, standing in the full noon
day points of the sun and asserts
that it gives no light. 1t IS a fight
between greed and conscience with
this great movement as arbiter and
upon the decision rests for genera
tations the fate of these untutored
children OF nature.
The matter of the Indians landed
rights in this new state IS based upon
agreement and treaties solemnly
made between the government and
the Indians and any abridgcmenS
or alteration of these treaties should
in all justice, be LETT to the govern
nent and the Indians without any
outside interference or influence.
