VARDAMAN DEFEATED.

The defeat of Gov. Vardaman of
Miss, for the U. S. Senate by John
Sharp Williams is an indication of
return to sanity of the southern
brethren.
Vardaman is foul mouthed,
demigogue of the Ben Tillman stamp
and just as pronounced In his de-
sires to rob the negro of the south
of what few rights he now possesses.
He would mulify the constitution
and all laws giving the negro any
show, deprive him of all rights of
citizenship and render his condition
even worse than during slavery, if
he but had the power.
But the citizens of Mississippi
have repudiated this bully and Sc
iected J. Sharp Williams for his own
successor. There seems to be a
little hope for Mississippi yet.

COMMISSION SYSTEM.

Kansas has become wild eyed
again. We have grasped new
thought in Kansas, and we embrace
it with a vim and enthusiasm pecu-
liar only only to the Kansas citizen.
This government of cities by COM
missioners seems to be taking over
the state equal to the fervor with
which the government warehouse
free silver and other populistic
theories were embraced.
This plan. however, seems to
have much merit in it and we be
lieve it will work admirably i'll cities
that are fortunate enough to get the
right kind of men in these places,
men of strict integrity, strong nerve
and good business training, who are
willing to devote their time to the
city's business at the stipulated SAL
aIy.
Yet, we think there may possibly
be some rosr.backs to this system.
The political ring could manipu-
late the election and control three
men easier than nine. Three men
could fix up a job on the city easier
than nine. What kind Of a check
system is there on these men7
Bring it down to our own city,
who will you have for chairman of
this board2 What are his qualifica
,ion.? Will he devote his time and
energies TO the welfare of the city
for the 5000 salary3 Is he absolute
ly free from the domination of ringsF
On which side of the Santa Fe does
be reside? Who are your other two
members7 Can you get them nom'-
mated and elected? On which side
of the Santa Fe are you going to
place two of the three?
These are the questions that will
come up here. We admit we dc
not see our way clearly In this ex
perimental stage of the new theory
of city government. We are willing
to go slow a little while and watch
developments.
One of our chief pleasures of life
would be taken from us we're the
council abolished. 1t is so refresh
ing to cuss the city council when
anything goes wrong in our business
affairs. 1t relieves us wonderfully
and does not hurt or offend the
councilman. He thinks it is the
other member you are after.

of every move and calls down severe
and unjust criticism in other mat
tiers.
We have heard our merchants
say that they consider 1t poor policy
TO send good money after bad, re-
ferring to the collection of bad ac-
counts. Now we do not think this
council is justified in sending good
honest drilling money after bad
money invested in these leases.

THIS CITY COUNCIL.

The present city council is com.
ing in for great deal of criticism
Just now, by the citizens of this pro.
gressive little burg. Some of IL we
deem lust and some of it otherwise.
Now the council is not composed
of imported boodlers and convicted
criminals so far as any body knows,
but simply of the business and pro-
fessienal men of the city. General
ly of men who have been among US
land associated with us for many
= Years. They are men with whom
we have traded and whose profess
sional and mechanical servicrs we
have been wont to empty and SO far
as we have ever heard, not one has
ever proved dishonest, or incompe-
tent. Yet, as soon as they become
mayors or councllmen they imme'
diately become set of incompe-
tents and swindlers.
We have no fulsome Aattery to
pour out over the heads of these
fellow citizens as thick as sorgum
molasses because we chanced to get
little job of commercial printing
from them at price below that off
cred by any other printer, neither
have we any wish to wrongly judge
or harshly critisize them because we
did not get the legal printing. How.
ever we do wish it distinctly under
stood that We are fully awake to the
financial condition of the city at
the present time and feel most keen
ly the necessity of some change OF
the general policy that has been pur-
sued for years that will, at least,
promise some relief.
The present council should not
and can not properly be charged
with the mismanagement that has
brought us to this condition. When
they took hold of the reins they
found the city out of money, badly
in debt, with three public utilities
on hand that were each getting us
in deeper every month.
They found an inferior electric
light plant in very unsatisfactory
condition as to its management with
the current furnished to consumers
at much less than the cost of pro-
duction to say nothing of the veal
and tear on machinery. They found
a water plant with no filter and very
inadequate pressure that was furnish
ing the consumer with a concoctior
of mud, sand, colery hogs, decayed
FISH and other filth and calling il
water. 1t made first class fertili

no outside fact or thing can hurt our
real selves, only our own acts can
do that. In its supreme moments
each soul stands alone with is God
and He alone can know its need or
Its effort for the right. If we are
true to ourselves and to our God we
can bear all things undaunted and
unharmed.
Though to some life may seem as;
"prison to get out Of" like to-
think of it as way over which we
are walking homeward. The rank
weeds mingle with the fruitful vines,
rugged hills mating with beauti-
full valleys; there are mountain tor
rents as well as peaceful waters, but
the stars of love and hope are for
ever shining albeit at times through
clouds. The light never goes Who'll
iy out, hope never quite forsakes US
cen In the darkest night. Along
this way we should ft'acquit ourselves
like men," and if sometimes we fall
let us get up again and struggle on
ward. 1t takes a splendid courage,
a grand strength to make sustained
fight against wrongdoing, but it is
the only way to win the victory, and
the victory is worth our every eff
fort.
Let us keep our eyes uplifted, our
hands and hearts clean and good,
and we shall find good everywhere.
There is opportunity everywhere, a
chance to live helpfully with our
fellows along even the toughest way
"a chance to see "stars" instead of
the "mud," chance to love and
serve for us each one, a way that
leads on and on to the eternal years.
Let us follow and fear not.-Kansas
Farmer.

They also discovered that many
meters were elogged with mud and
sere not registering and the city
was not getting adequate pay for
the compound furnished under the
name of water.
They found gas plant with miles
of old leaky pipe that wasted enough
gas at many joints to supply an or
dinary cook stove,
They also found a gas field almost
drained with m any wells ruined by
m management and want of care,
with a dispositiun on the part of the
management to lay new pipe lines,
drill new wells or purchase wildcat
territory as soon as a little money
accumulated.
These are few of the perplexing
problems with which the council
had to contend.
They have been taken up and are
being investigated and dealt with.
Its true things seem to move slowly
but there are many conditions with
which a new man on the council
must become acquainted before he
can act intelligently.
There is one thing, however, that
this cour Gil is doing that seems very
illadvised and that is this wildcat.
ting for gas in condemed territory.
1t does seem to US to be most un
warranted use of public money to
blow it in by the thousand in secur-
ing this most unpromising territory
and punching it full of dry holes.
But then you know, the city has a
new $3.50 drill that must be kept
busy at any cost. One dry hole has
already been drilled in this territory.
Councilman Demick claims he saw
ed the city some 5000 by drilling
this we'll with the city drill. He
would have saved the city many
times $500 if he had opposed the
purchase of this drill and of this
presumably barren territory, as
chairman of the gas committee, and
succeeded in stopping this wildcat
ting mania.
The people of the city are critl-
cising this council on every hand,
many times uDjustly. We do not
believe in abusing a'public servant
unjustly but such unbusiness like
breaks as buying an old drill and
putting it to work in condemned
territory and so far away that the
gas could hardly be utilized il
found, makes the public suspicious

IN PRISON..

"Two men looked out through pris-
on bars,
The one saw Tud-the other stars.
These are words that linger IN my
memory today. So much of life is
summed up in them, or rather, of
the attitude and feeling of different
minds towards life. Some. many I
fear, looking out see only mud, ,"
only the disagreeable, unpleasant
things in their surroundings, while
others with no better opportunities,
and with the same surroundings, see
"stars" shining resplendent in
life's sky, stars of beauty and of
promise, Of opportunity and of en-
deavor. Obstacles in the way are
but challenges to the latter class,
while to the former they seem insur-
mountable and are yielded to with
little or no effort to make things
better. | have read of brave lit
tie woman who went, a bride, to
live in a lighthouse with her young
husband. At first in the flush OF
young love, and the novelty of her
situation, all went well. She shared
in her husbands pride in keeping
the great lamp trimmed and burn
ing" but as the summer months
passed and winter came on "the
terrible isolation began to press up
on her, "and to look across from her
island home to the mainland and
'know herself cut off from all the
old familiar ways of life was mad
dening to her." Prison walls SEEM
ed to shut her in and she saw "mud"
instead of "stars" as she looked
through the bars. The winter drag
ged by and spring came. One day,
as she wandered idly over the rocks,
she noticed a peculiar sea weed that
she gathered and took to the home.
1t looked 50 pretty she began search
ing for other varieties that when
found she pressed and pinned to the
walls OF her tiny sitting room. She
knew nothing of them farther than
that they were pretty and they re-
lieved the barrenness of the walls.
In the summer a man "well versed
in the lore of sea weeds and mos
ses" visited the lighthouse and no.
,iced her collection. He question
ed her about it, but finding that she
knew nothing about it other than
that it was pretty he promised to
send her books from which she
could learn of these wonderful
growths. The keeping of this prom.
ise opened door into new world
for her. She read with ever increas
ing interest and understanding, then
"began to search the little island
with a new purpose" and also "to
write and exchange specimens with
others in different localities. She
no longer lived in prison but in
world that daily recalled new wond-
ers to her. One morning as she was
thinking about it all, feeling the
change this new knowledge and in
!erest was bringing to her, of her
