and for grand juries to indict, the
man who deliberately kills an un-
armed, unattacking fellow man. Pleas
in extenuatlon OF that awful admitted
fact, should be left to the district
courts and trial juries to pass upon.
But unfortunately no such rule OBJ
tains. The custom is to bring be-
fore the magistrate unsubstantiated
allegations of previous homicidial
threats or circumstances of inferentlal
intent; with unsupported testimony in
defense, of hip pocket motions or
other violent demonstrations by the
man whose lips are sealed in death.
And then the man killer who can
summon crowd of partisan friends to
the trial, and employ able counsel, is
released or bound over under small bail

were worked at Leland. Fortunate
indeed is the county with committing
trial officers who do not succumb to
such influences, and thereby make

Snuff to be Taxed.

At meeting of the Central Trades
and Labor Council, of Jackson, held
recently the following resolution
offered by Rufus W. Keene was
adopted:
Whereas, There is now pending
in the United States circuit court for
the southern district OF New York an
anti-trus. proceeding brought by the
federal government against the
American Tobacco Company. and,
Whereas, The tobacco trust is and
has always been an enemy of organ
lied labor, destroying honest COM
petition by high handed and dis
reputable methods, and,
Whereas. The most profisaole
branch of the tobacco industry is the
snuff trade, in which competition has
been destroyed by the trust having
unscrupulous retailers sell independent
brands of snuff for less than cost
therefore be it
Resolved, That we. the labor
organizations of jackson, do hereby
pledge our support and influence to
the enactment of law that will place
tax of 500 on every dealer who
handles snuff, the proceeds of this tax
to go to the common school fund, be-
lieving that snuff Is the most harmful
method of tobacco using, and that it
would be blessing if its use should
be altogether prohibited. Be 1t

given to the press for publication,

The Mississippi Exposition.

This is the fourth season of the
Mississippi State Fair and Expo
sition at Jackson. This institution,
starting in a small way in the
abandoned Old Capitol Building, has
steadily grown in usefulness and i'm
portance. adding building or so
each season. This year their exhibit
space is more than double that of last
their premiums are larger, more at
tractive and cover more items; they
are spending more for amusements and
conveniences for the public. They
can't offer as high premiums as the
fairs that receive state aid, but aim to
give back to the public all it's re-
ceipts. The last legislature granted
a six year lease on their vacant and
waste lands at Jackson. The Fair
Association has made the most of it,
improved the property, and have done
everything they could encourage com.
petive contests in every line of in
dustry in the state Poultry, swine
and stock raising have received an
impetus that alone is worth many
times the cost of the Fair.
Beginning November 5, there will
be assembled the best Of the years S.
harvest; with demonstrations of i'm
proved implements and farm ma
chinery and road building. Almost
every phase of agricultural science
will be illustrated, including the
ornamental and aesthetic, such as art
and woman's handicraft, and a mag
nificent flower and crysanthemum ex-
hibit. A day of field sports. and
atheletics is on the program.
Mississippi has more within her
| borders than even the best informed
citizen is aware. By encouraging
county, local and state fairs we will
soon have veritable Paradise. So
let's keep the work up and give it all
the aid we can. A trip to our capitol

To Prospective Candidates.

The campaign has not yet opened locally
and that is why we are making this an
nouncement to-day-we want to get in on
the ground floor.
We wish to say that our charges for an
nouncements will be as heretofore-S5 for
ward offices and $40 for all others-and
that in all instances we will demand the
money in advance. All other campaign
matter must also be paid for in advance.
This is the rule with nearly all newspa-
per offices, but, like the Banner has done
in the past, they do not always live up to
it. The candidate who "gets there" is
always ready and willing to pay-he feels
all right toward the world-but the one
who is defeated often casts around for
some one to blame for his defeat, and
sometimes refuses to foot the bills because
he didn't get the office.
But we won't look further for their ex-
cuses. We merely wish to state that SC
far as such matter is concerned, we intend
to demand the Banners fee in advance
and that in no instance will we make ar
exception to the rule. So don't ask it.
AS you know, the Banner has been pub
lished in the parish since 1859 and what it,
proprietor has lost in this way during tina
time would more than pay the campaign
expenses of every man in the parish who
intends to enter the coming race. Blu

way, for to-day we haven't even TIT
