TIME TURNS BACKWARD.

A street preacher, styling himself
Adam Cod" and leading a handful
of deluded sympathizers through the
street of Kansas City, Mo, made too
much noise to suit the citizens, and
one of them complained to the police.
An officer demonstrated with the
preacher. who flew into a rage and
drew revolver. A battle ensued be-
tween the officers and the fanatics
with the result that five people were
killed and several others seriously in
jured.
Discussing the matter editorially in
its Sunday issue, the Kansas City
Journal says:
Society went back countless cen
turtles on the streets of Kansas City
last Tuesday-back through the paltry
300 wears. in round numbers, between
us and the Salem witchcraft; back
through the wild red years of the Cru
sades when the children of Europe
marched by the thousand to horrible
sufferings and death, while tens of
thousands of the flower of the worlds
chivalry battled for lost Sepulcher;
back and back to the days when faith
meant fighting and when religion
meant the sword which Christ Him
! self declared He came to bring. A lit
/ tie band of crazed zealots deliberately
engaged in deadly conflict the the en-
tire police force of Kansas City, and
five human lives are the bloody toll
of this relapse into the horrible bar
barism of religious fanaticism. In the
year of our lord, 1908, in the United
States of America on the very portals
of the holy Christmastide, seventeen
days before the natal anniversary oil
the Prince of Peace, five human be
ings are slain because of the fantastic
lunacy of an ignorant converted gam
bier and bootlegger, who professed t.
believe himself the reincarnatet
Christ"

original papers on everything of hui
man interest. The one genius who
made this condition possible is named
Babcock-Joseph N. Babcock.
This little bit of history is repro
duced with the hope that some en-
terprising spirit in Hattiesburg, some
young and aspiring educator may catch
the thought, develop the idea and
produce a crop of inspiration or aspir-
alton. which may lead to the establish
menthere of some organization for
the development of original thought,
or the cultivation of literary taste and
talent among our people. There are
perhaps hundred people in Hatties-
burg engaged directly in educational
work. These are almost entirely edu-
eating the young, but the city is with
out any educational propaganda
among its adult population. Many
would doubtless get the study habit
if it were only popular for busy grown
up men and women to stop long
enough to think of the great POSSIBLE
tiles for an education or more finish
ed education to be found in a public
Lyceum. Who fancies the idea?
Speak out through the columns of the
Daily News, or yourself give us a
seed thought that we may plant it in
the minds of our people. How about
it dear teacher? Is this pointer for
you Mr.. Educator? If so let us hear
from you.

OREGoN's SENATOR.

Discussing the approaching senat-
orial election in the great Western
state of Oregon, when a Republican
legislature will be called upon to per-
form the very unpleasant task of
naming a Democrat for the place, the
Birmingham Age-Herald says:
The Oregon senatorial situation is
due to the Oregon constitution made
and sanctioned by Republican voters.
Under this constitution each party
names in its primary its choice for
senator and then at the state election
in June the two party nominees run
against each other and the one who
receives the highest vote is named to
the legislature ds the choice of the
state, and the members of the legisla-
ture sign Statement No. l, thereby
Officiating themselves to respect the
will of the people in the matter OF

Senator McLaurin has introduced a
bill providing for the payments of a
years salary to the widow of Charles
Fitzgerald, the postoffice inspector
who was assassinated at Clinton sew
eral months ago. This is certainly the
least that the government could do
for the family of a faithful officer
who died in performance of his duty.
A pension for life would not be un.
reasonable.

Hon. E. H. Dial, editor of the Mer-
idian Dispatch since its first issue, an
nounces his retirement from the
paper. This will occasion genuine re-
greet in more than one Mississippi
sanctum, where Mr.. Diars excellent
editorials were read with interest. He
is one of the strongest writer's in the
state and The News trusts that he
will not remain long out of harness.

selecting a senator.

selecting a senator.
George e. Chamberlain, Demo
crat, became the choice of the state
for senator. He had twice been elected
governor, and the state in all that
time was true to the Republican party.
The state remained true to Taft for
president, but the majority of the peo-
pie desired to send Mr.. Chamberlain
to the senate, and so far as the record
goes they still desire to send him
there"
And George E. Chamberlain is a
Mississippian, having been born and
reared near Natchez. The. fact that
he was nominated for senator along
with a Republican majority in the
state legislature does not reflect upon
his Democracy, but emphasizes his
personal popularity and the esteem
in which he is held by the people of
his adopted state, regardless of party
affiliations.
