and Long John knew that the police
force was totally unable to cope with

wasn't much OF any police force In
those days. The few officers that there
were didn't have any uniform outside
of a plug hat. On the front OF this
was a semlcircie Of tin with the mans
number on 1t. There was no money ia
pay for additional officers, 80 Long
John bethought himself OF Il bright
scheme. He had figure V added to
the number on every one OF those hats
On election day the different members
Of the force were stationed conspicu
ously where the trouble was most like

CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS

Should patriotic, native-born
American visit an empire or king
dom whore the ruling power Look
ed upon the breaking Of his laws
with Indifference. or a triilinc
matter, and tool, no steps to-
wards enforcing obedience. The
American would decide at once
that the ruler was Il weaklino-
and unworthy ofrespect. In our
land OF liberty and great inten-
tons, the voters, the people, are
the controlling POWER. 1t is with
them to say whether the majesty
OF our laws be respected or per-
NIT them 10 be broken without
protest from those in authority.
Individually, il seems impossi-
Die to bring about a reign OF obe-
dienee to the law in letter and
spirit, yet it Is with each citizen
81 our state to aid in enforcing
such rule. As every man is re-
5ponsible for his own behavior.
50 he should be. in a sense. for
the behavior of his neichbors
and those he has voted into Of
fee. The men we support and
place in power are supposed to
voice our sentiments and wishes.
or to be our agents, When we
fail to keep them in line. when
we are blind to their neglect Of
duty, we also become delinquents
IN civic righteousness. For pub
hc righteousness, like the private
article, must stand for right in
every sense Of the word. The
breaking OF one law, or standing
silently by and seeing it broken.
Is transgression, ne matter how
our scared eonsciences may per-
NIT Us to excuse the act.
The reign OF civic righteous
ness would bring happiness and
prosperity as widespread as ,be
sunshine, but such reign can
not be brought about without in
dividual effort, and wholesale
reformation. As long as we are
careless and Indifferent to our
own fidelity to the law, the char
acteF OF The community in which
we live will be Of like tone.
II anxious FOR an enviable rem !
Iiation for your town and couD- /

Pot Good Men IN Cfficc.

The Magnolia News, in the
course OF an editorial on the SUBJ
ject of lobbying and grating in
the St2te, has the following to
say about choosing good men for
Office:
THE people of Mississippi-the
people Of Pike County-in few
short months will &c called upon
to select their officials, from the
highest to the lowest. Does it no.
behoove them meanwhile to put
all candidates through kind Of
sitting process. Their characters
and records should BE- narrowly
scanned. Will this man or that
do to tie to? What you want to
know is, who IS who. Ii you have
any reason ID doubt mans NOR
al fitness for Office, i; is your con-
scientious duty to cast your vote
against him, unless he has but
one opponent who is in the same
category. In that case you must
decide between the two evils and
choose the least, if possible, or
withhold your choice. Such are
the conditions of a one-party
contest"
Ii is so often the case that the
best men running do not get the
office that it really occasions no
surprise. The News believes that
on the whole the public officials
OF this State have been good men
but it has occurred too often that
bad and venile men have been
elevated to office. Our Magnolia
contemporary is right. a mans
moral fitness for public office
should be taken into considera-
ton, and if his life is such that he
cannot stand the test he should
be allowed to remain at home. 1t
Is highly important that the best
men possible to select fill all our
public offices.-Jackson News.
