the effect that John Sharp Williams
voted to give Gen, Miles a special
pension upon his retirement from
the Army. Mr. Hills letter will be
given thorough circulation, and the
effort TO damage Mr.. Williams will
naturally receive its death, blow.

John Sharp Williams will be nom
mated for U. S. Senator by even a
greater majority than many Of his
most aanguine supporters anticipate.
The people Of Mississippi are too
patriotic and sensible to permit the
defeat Of a man who possesses power
and ability that Mr.. Williams does
10 accomplish SO much good for
their 0tasesnd scuatry. His major.
ity will be overwhelming.

about 1000 thunderous salutes we're

Association at the Auditorium, which
was very much appreciated by the
newspaper men and women from all
over the country.
After the visit to Richmond about
1925 members Of the Association pro-
ceeded to Old Point Comfort and
took a daylight steamer trip up
Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac
to Washington, where they
spent three days and nights viewing
the magnificent sights Of the Capt.

President Roosevelt's address at
Harvard has again opened the appar.
emily endless controversy over the
game OF football. The head OF that In
stitution recently made a public decla-
ration that the game was not III
sport for gentlemen. The president OF
the United States holds that the foot
ball 6eld produces courage and manli.
ness. The two points OF view are GER.
tainly a long way apart. To our mind
the great objection to football lies not
In the tendency Of one player to oc-
caslonally hit his opposite on the
noseguard or 70 stick an elbow In the
eye but 10 the deliberate practice OF
selecting the strong players on the op.
posing team and "putting them out OF
business. A contest that can be Won
by inhicting bodily injuries on one or
more OF the participants is In need OF
remodeling.
