Hon. r. II. Thompson Of the
Jackson bar, occupied q seat in the
supreme court a few days lately,
filling the place Of Chief Justice
Whitfield, who was confined TO his
home by illness.
Pontotoc. Lefore and Harrison
counties assessed State and State
district candidates 500 each;
county candidates $500 and beat
Offices $3.50.
It may be doubted and denied by
some Of the partisans Of all the can
didates, but there is an intmation
cropping out that the gubernatorial
contest will result in "a we'll defined
factional fight before the campaign
closes. and that persons rather than
platforms viii be the dominating
issue.
IN tie proceedings Of every Dem
ocratic county executive committee
in the State that we have observed, q,
appear the designations Of several
members who are candidates at the
primary elections. Invariably the
committees have resolved for white
primaries with pledges to support
the nominees.
Now that the dates for the pri-
mary elections have been fixed, the
the candidates should proceed with
out delay to deposit their expense
fees with the Secretary of the County
Executive Committee. Candidates
for Justices and constables up to this
date are more tardy in this matter
than any others. 1t viii be well to
remember that names viii 60 on the
ticket in order in which the assess
ments are paid-''first come, first
served" "
Washington dispatches announce
that Secretary Taft is firing of the
contest in his home State, Ohio,
for the national convention delega-
ton, and it is even intimated that
he viii withdraw as a presidential
candidate. His averdupois is wor-
rying him, too, and all efforts at
reducing weight have failed, and
will continue to do so until he cuts
out some of the banquets and din
ners that he constantly attending.
Thomas 2 Gore, a former citizen
of Webster county in this State, and
totally blind, was last week elected
as one Of the United States senators
by primary election in Oklahoma.
He probably is an able and deserv-
ing man, but the people of that
State made a mistake in the choice
of a blind man for one of their first
representatives in the United States
Senate. Purely a matter of senti-
ment, when practical business con-
siderations should have dominated.
The Government in the trial of
Edwin s. Holmes, ON charge of
leakage in cotton reports from the
census office in 1904, is producing
some strong and very ugly testimony
against the defendent, showing con-
clusively that he conspired with
other parties to give out advance
information, and that he realized
many thousands of dollars as his
share Of the profits. The trial can
result otherwise than in
proving him guilty Of the charge,
but it is doubtful if commensurate
penalty is to be found on the statute
books

Mayor Eugene Schmitz of San
Francisco, has been on trial several
weeks, charged with felonious ex-
tortion in many ways in administer
ing the affairs of that city. This
week the trial eliminated in his
conviction, and he was accordingly
deposed from office under a peni-
tentiary sentence, the trial being
conducted by board of supervisors,
or a city council as it would be
here. San Francisco, like many,
in fact nearly all the large cities,
has been reeking in corruption and
graft for years, and also like some
of of the perpetrators of the whole
sale stealings Mayor Schmitz has
been run down by the hand of the
law and a spirit of greater honesty
in public affairs, and will pay a
severe penalty, though in no meas
ure commensurate with the enormi-
ty of his crimes.

Here's a new one, at least to US,

The other day a big husky fellow
dropped in for a shave. The bar
ber made a lather, paced all over
the countenance Of the recumbent
farmer, strapped the razor vigorous
lp and sailed into his work After
he had struggled long and danger
ously over his patron he felt con-
strained to say: Am | hurting
you?" NO, answered the re-
clining one. = seem to be work

commented the barber, further.
"Oh, just go ahead, encouraged

resolution was offered in the Council
last night from the Committee on
Finance to appoint a special committee
to investigate certain charges which the
Mayor Is alleged to have made against
the said Committee on Finance. Gentle
men asserted that the Mayor had heaped
insults upon the Committee on Finance
and upon the Council in general. The
point was made also that as the Council
had approved the action Of the Finance
Committee. the Mayors indictment OF
the committee was an indictment Of the
entire body. This made 1t appear that
the resolution, If adopted, would put
the Council in the position of inyesti-
eating itself.

point that if the Council should invests

But the Council finally decided to
cut the Appropriation out OF the reso-

dict. The resolution thus amended was
adopted.
In our view the Finance Committee
made mistake IN Offering the reso-
luton and the Council in adopting It.
The Mayor is a gentleman and he is
Incapable of ''heaping insults upon q
body which he was addressing by In.
vitatlon. He did not mean to charge
that the members of the Finance Com
mittee had intentionally violated thei
oath of Office; nor did he mean tina
they had knowingly violated TIL,
charter. We can readily understand
the resentment of the members OF ,lt
Finance Committee, but they took TIL,
Mayor too seriously. The members
and the Mayor are all honorab,
men, and they should have settled
their differences out of court. Ther
is no occasion for formal investiga
ton.
