Nlsslgslppi has long borne the ~
yiabie distinction OF being state
where the rights and privileges ot
the most humble citizens was re-
spected and protected. Where every
man stood upon equal footing with
his fellow and the right 10 vote sas
guaranteed to all who could read
the constitution or understand II
when read to him. Where wealth or
social standing were not qualifica-
tions for place or power. These factA
have made ours one of the most de-
slrsble states II. the Union for resi-
dcoce and thousands OF splendid pco
pie from other states have been at
tractei thereby. II Ia still con
iltier and must remain so at all haz-
Yards. Mississippi must be a state

Glands for the best In everything

The newspapers OF Mississppi,
and their editors can always be
found on the right side OF great NOR
al questions, are saying considerable
these days about the use of profan-
ity and the ugllness and uselessness
OF the habit. There Is wide diver
asnco of opinion as TO whether the
world Is growing better or worse.
but there can be little argument as
20 prevalence OF profane words by
old and young. 1t is habit that
could be easily corrected. and should
be by all means. Nothing can be
more offensive to the ear of good
man or refined woman than coarse
or profane language. The Mississip-
pi newspapers are engaged In a cru
sade that deserves the earnest sup
port OF all good people.

The meeting of presidents OF the
county unions at Jackson was botn
pleasant and profitable. Many sub
jects OF vital Importance to the far

of beneficial nature accomplished.
II was an educational feature that

good to get the official heads of the
organization together once a year
Tor the benefit of the farmers, tc

Abraham Ruef Convicted.

San francisco, Dec. 10.-Abraham
Ruef, former political boss of San
francisco, was convicted today of
bribery. The verdict was returned
exactly upon the stroke of 4 o'clock
when the deliberations of the iurv
mad been prolonged throughout q
period of "a hours. The warnings of
Judge William P. Lawlor and the
vigilance of the police checked all
attempted demonstration, although
the excitement in the courtroom
was 50 intense that men were thrust
doWn into their seats or seized in the
grasp Of detectives as they rose to
obtain better view of the proceed
ings.
The trial, which has been in pro-
gress for 1O6 days, ended with sur
prising abruptness. The day had al
most passed without sign or init
nation from the curtained chamber
on the upper floor of Carpenters
hall the hopes of Ruef and his at
torneys had risen with every hour
of delay and the adherents of the
prosecution were proportionately
discouraged With numbers and in
terest and undiminished the host
of spectators who had chung about
the courtroom during the closing
days of the trial retained their seats
in the chamber or stood patiently in
a long line opposite the entrance,
while strong detail Of police watch
ed vigilantly for the first sign of
disorder inside and patrolled every
approach to the hall.
AS the trial II filed into the court
room and took their seats in the
jury box, Judge Lawlor asked Fore
man MacNamara, Have you gentle
men reached verdict"

Immediately everybody arose to
their feet. There was a murmur of
approval but no scene or demonstra-

aged father. He almost fell from
his chair. At the other end of the

TAKE POLITICS STRAIGHT
OR INK THEM"
Choice Offered Denver Visitor.

The way OF the politician, as every
BODY knows, is soft, easy, pleasant way
and that is perhaps the reason why il
leads right 10 the Albany hotel in DEN
yer, where whole floor is devoted to
politics. There is little of every kind
on the political floor, no favorite brand
and TIE visitor can have his choice of
being straight republican or straight
democrat, or he can even mix them.
1t often happens that a house is too
small, even large house, to hold two
men OF different political faith. But at
hotel, 1t seems. the rule does not hold
good, for when an antagonist feels the
argument too heated he can withdraw
to his own committee room and there
lind friend who will soothe his in
lured feelings 10y agreeing with him,
then with renewed strength he will sally
forth into the corridor to vanquish the
enemy
The corridor on the political floor is
the common battle ground Here occur
the tights between democrats and re-
publicans. All about the corridor are
the forts and strongholds of the two
parties. These are the headquarters
where the valiant political soldiers gath
er their ammunition, decide grave issues
and make ready the plans for their cam
midnight oil is often seen to burma
silent witness to the fact that some
matter of weighty Importance to the
state, or perhaps to the nation, is being
discussed
There is general impression that all
politicians look alike, but to the expert
enced eye of the observer-the watchful
man who hangs around Albany head
quarters, there is marked difference
this year and he can often spot the re-
publican or the democrat at once. Large
fat men are in fashion this year with
the republicans. This came in when
Bill Taft was nominated and Sam Dut-
ton, proprietor OF the Albany hotel, says
that he has noticed shat republicans
generally are taking on flesh. They do
this, OF course, out of compliment to
Taft. IL they cant get fatter then they
wear large clothes that lend them the
air.
Bryan being an exponent OF the sim
pie life it is in fashion with the demo-
Gratis to assume the plain and unassum-
ing manner and the country style OF
dress.
Following are some OF the political
headquarters on the Albany political
floor: Democratic national committee,
in charge of Governor Osborne of Wy
oming, west of the Mississippi; Demo
cratic advisory committee for the state
of Colorado, in charge of Hon. Tully
the people. Shall man or woman
till this important office? There can be
but one answer il the women of the
county support their candidate. We
have the right OF suffrage; we have been
granted one place on the county ticket

A Voice From the Bar
To THE EDITOR OF The TRIBUNE:
Tn the coninu alactiou fhara ic IN

To THE EDITOR OF The TRIBUNE:
In the coming election there is one Of.
fee that is likely to be lost sight Of in
the general excitement and yet it is, in
many respects, the most important office
in the county, refer to the Office of
county judge.
Fifteen or twenty years age, when the
county was sparsely settled and there
was little or no litigation, it mattered not
who held this position. Today Elbert
county has large population and litiga-
tion is increasing. The county court has
sole and exclusive jurisdiction in all mat
ters concerning wills, executors and adj
ministrators and has full charge OF the
estates of deceased persons. 1t has jur.
isdiction in all cases where the amount
involved does not exceed two thousand
dollars and sole jurisdiction in election
contest cases. / know of no court where
weightier or more intricate points of law
come up for argument or decision. This
being SO, it stands to reason that one
holding that Office in a county like this
should be deeply learned in the law and
Of sound, unwavering judgment What
might have been sufficient for Elbert
county years ago is not enough today.
The republican party has nominated for
this position a man versed and learned
in the law, man who successfully prac-
ticed his profession for many years. He
will bring to the Office the qualifications
most essential and necessary. 1t is for
tunate that the people of ElbeIt county
have chance to vote for and elect such
q man at the coming election and am
of the opinion that they will make
grave mistake if they do not elect T. M
Jones to the county judgeship.
Respectfully yours,
