IN MEMORIAM.
GEO. r. HILL.

On Wednesday, the 18th inst, ut
Biloxi, in the BIRD year Of his
age, Hon. Geo.. Il. Hill, one of
the best and most respected citi-
zens of the State passed away.
Mr.. Hill became a citizen of
Oxford in 1861, and entered upon
the duties of the office of Clerk
of the Circuit and District Courts
of the United States for the Nor
thern District of Mississippi, soon
after. For thirty years he held
this position and felt a just pride
that during this long period of
service he never made an error.
He was very popular with the
bar and all litigants OF the court.
While a native of Tennessee. Mr..
Hill was devotedly attached 10
Mississippi, and all of his inter-
ests were here. About five wears
ago, on account Of failing health
he removed to a beautiful farm
near Gallatin, Tenn.
How quiet, how gentle and
peaceful, how full of truth. was
the life of this man whom we all
knew so well, and loved him
moro as we knew him better.
His grave is fresh among us, and
we know that he has gone, but
his gracious influence will still
live among US. There is nothing
in his life to be forgotten or for
given. He was a scholar as well
as gentleman; by nature inclined
to be timid and reserved, it was
in his own home that his real
value shown. His word was
never questioned and is conduc,
never questionable. He was d
Christian, known and read of al
men, he loved the church and he
gave it his generous support.
He leaves a wife and daughter
to mourn their loss, brother anc
two sisters also survive him. We
tender our profound sympathy tt
his loved ones.

Caught In Corruption.

1t announced in a previous issue of this pa
per that George C. Parkinson had rendered to the
Governor of the State his resignation of the State
university regency, bestowed upon him by the Gov
ernOr
Mr.. Parkinsons resignation was requested and it
was quickly forthcoming, as it should have been in
the of one charged with dishonesty in the adj
ministraton of public affairs
Governor Goodng owes it to the constituency
his appointive capacity to give publicity to the de-
linquencies of this public servant, that the entire
story may be known to those who have the right
to know it. that they may be able to Judge of the
suffcency of the punishment that halts with Mr..
Parkinson's enforced retirement from the service
If the Governor has found sufficient cause to JUS
tify him in the course he has taken should not the
church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints also
take cognizance of the oense and retire its servant
in compliance with its boast that it always meets sin
with its just requita?
Mr. Parkinson holds one of the highest positions
that Mormondom can bestow in the State of Idaho
He is president of the Oneida Stake of Zion and
in his churchy capacity he ministers to the spiritual
needs of a considerable flock of confidng devotees
1t the government that is in alliance with the
Mormon church for political purposes is unable
to bear the burden of official reproach cast upon the
administration by the conduct of Mr. Parkinson it
would seem that the other party to the governing
conspiracy ought to manifest at least equal sensi-
tiveness Will the Mormon church act?

Roosevelt as Taft's Friend

Governor Hughes of New York, enjoyed some
compensation for the marble hand of the New York
County committee in the endorsement last week
of a metropolitan Republican club But he is seek
ing the support of organized Republicanism, to be
found only where it is refused If he goes into
the National campaign with prestige enough to build
upon, he must have the solid support of the dele
CATION from his State and that cannot be secured
through the ornamental clubs with the committees
holding aloof.
With Mr.. Roosevelt out of the calculations of
the State and with his reimbursement of the Taft
candidacy, the influence that he can direct in his
home State is against the pretensions of the Gov
of the State and that is prababy the cause of
the slump in the Hughes boom.
In Democratic circles there will arise no oppo-
