Trials of Newspaper Men.

The late Dewitt Talmage in
one of his famous sermons said:
lone of the greatest trials of
the newspaper profession is that
it's members are compelled to see
more of the shams of the world
than any other profession.
Through every newspaper Office
day after day or week after
week go all the weakness of the
world, all the vanities that want
to be pulled, all the revenges
that want to be heaped, all the
mistakes that want to be correc-
ted, all the dull speakers that
want to be thought eloquent, all
the meanness that wants to get
its wares noticed gratis in the
editorial columns in order to
save the tax of the advertising
columns, all the men who want
to be set right who were never
right, all the crack.brained phil
osophers with stories as long as
their hair and as gloomy as their
finger nails in mourning because
reft of soap, all the bores who
came to stay five minutes and
stay five hours. Through the
editorial and reportorial rooms
all the follies and shams of the
world are seen day after day
and the temptation is to believe
in neither God, man nor woman.
1t is no surprise that in this pro-
fession there are some skeptical
men. | only wonder that jour-
nalists believe anything"
And still people persistently
ask why printers, as a general
rule, imbibe too freely.

the contest would have been car
ried to the courts if not actually
and physically fought out at the
polls. Instead, in Mississip pi
after months of sharpest cam
paigning, with issues involv ed
which were in their very nature
exciting, with the result in doubt
for many days, we have the
magnificent spectacle Of the con-

There are issues, and sharp

Try This Test.

One test every farmer with
stiff soil should make this fall is
to do some fall blowing and leave
unplowed strips each side of it,
so that the results on crops next
year can be seen. Send the
pillow down five inches at the
very least. Six or seven would
be better. If blowing is too
shallow the loose soil may not be
able to absorb rains fast enough,
and the objection will be raised
that the land washes in winter.
If there is enough loose soil the
water sinks into the soil instead
of running over the top and
washing it. While a top crust
will form over the soil before
spring, the lower part of the
pillow slice will be loose, a good
foundation for a seed bed. Don't
theorize, don't guess about it,
find out by a test at home.
Don't be afraid to make the test
on a hillside even, if the blowing
is deep enough. Under similar
conditions the deep fall plowed
land will wash no more than the
unplowed land beside it, since
about all the water Of a heavy
rain must run over the top Of
the unplowed land and most Of
the water can soak into the deep
layer Of plowed soil. Southern

Mississippi's Good Example.

The announcement is made that
John Sharp Williams. has been
elected, and acknowledged by
his opponent, as Senator-elect
from Mississippi A review Of
the returns shows that the Mis-,
sisslppians took more interest in
the campaign than they have
been wont to do for many years,
since the total vote amounted to
over a hundred thousand, when,
as a rule, not half that number
is cast for the whole Mississippi
delegation, numbering eight, in
the lower house of Congress.
Williams may be said to be the
representative of the conserva-
tive element of the Democratic
party of the South, while Varda-
man represents the radical wing.
Williams stands in opposition to
the destruction of the represen-
tative form of government by
government by means of the in
itiative and referendum and in
opposition to radical departures
in every way from the of govern
ment. Generally speaking, Gov.
Vardaman occupies exactly the
opposite grounds to Williams,
and the contest between them
furnished the opportunity to cal
culate the distance progressed by
the Southern Democracy along
radical lines.
Very naturally, with two such
candidates of the same party and
holding such diverse views, the
contest became highly heated.
The Mississippian has always
been considered the purest type
of the Southern character. In
the Northern mind that charac-
ter is one of honor, impetuosity
and pugnacity, and if serious
trouble had resulted from the
late campaign there would not
have been the least surprise
throughout the country. Indeed,
it was felt that the closer the
race became the more threaten
ing the situation. Therefore it
is a matter of the keenest pleas
ure to the whole of the South
ern people that the contest has
ended without those chickering's
and disturbances which unfortu-
nately come too frequently in
close political contests.
When that great statesman and
lawyer, Senator George, under
took the construction of the Mis-
sissippi Constitution, by which
the white man could control his
State under laws which would
not be in conflict with the Fed
eral Government, he did it that
his people might be saved from
the effects Of bad political meth
DDS which otherwise might have
been necessary to save the State
to its intelligent voting popula-
ton. He was not soft in his
statement that if the white man
had to cheat the negro at the
polls in order to save the State
socially and commercially, the
time would come when the white
man would cheat the white man,
not for patriotic, but for selfish
reasons.
That Constitution has under
gone the fiery test in the courts
and in political tribunals, and it
stands today just as it was built.
The principals of tits strength,
in fact-are the principals which
are in the other Constitutions Of
the Southern States and which
ended the long drawn-out politis
cal contests between the races
and which SO retarded the prog
ress of the South. Under the
George Constitution peace came.

JULIET's CHOICE.
Why She Decided She Would Go to

There wasn't great deal to choose
between them. Marysville Seminary
was located near the mountains; Eli

beautiful lakes. Eloise James was go

Ford was about to become student
at Eliotford Seminary. Eloise ana
Laura were Juliet's particular chums.
Now, which school should she at
tend?
Juliet had by no means arrived at q
solution of this important problem up
to this afternoon. when, with heels
impatiently drumming tattoo, sne
awaited the coming of Eloise and
Laura. The three we're going to take

begin.

there was no sign of either Of her two
friends. To pass away the time Juliet

to herself, Il suppose I'll have to at
