The Atlanta Contest.

"Uncle JIM Woodward has
sobered up and withdrawn his with
drawal. Nominated by the Demo-
Gratis in primary election for mayor
of Atlanta a few weeks ago, he cell
ebrated his victory a little later by
getting on a billing drunk and
doing stunts like dancing the can
can in the streets in that red-light
district of Georgia's capital city.
Then the citizens held an indigna-
tion meeting, and "Uncle jim"
still feeling the effects of his fight
with Mr. Booze, decided to with
draw from the race for mayor and
permit the candidate, Mr.. Maddox,
put forward by the indignation
meeting, to be elected without op-
position. But it seems that Mr..
Woodward has friends and a host
of them, and they would not per-
nit his withdrawal from the race.
Many Atlanta citizens have in effect
said: 1--WE prefer "Uncle Jim"
drunk to Mr.. Maddox sober" !"
And so it is up to the majority Of
Atlanta S citizens to settle the ques-
tion at the polls. and upon the de-
cision of the voters will the taste
of Atlanta be judged by the people
watching the contest from the out
side. Greenville Democrat.

A. 8 NJ. College Team Beats University.

Jackson, Miss. Nov. 26. Mis-
sissippi A. & M. College A, Uni
versity Of Mississippi 6.
This is the result of the annual
football game between the States
two big educational institutions.
It was one-sided contest from
start to finish and the only surprise
is that the university succeeded in
scoring at all.
After the first four minutes of
play it was clearly evident that the
youngsters from Oxford were out
classed by the farmer boys from
Starkville. The university team
was simply crushed by brute force
and had no show whatever against
the solid mass of muscle presented
by the A. & M. line. 1t was case
of being overpowered by superior
strength, of old fashioned tactics
winning against a lighter team,
none too skilled in open tactics.
The ball was kept in the univer-
sity's territory for the major por-
tion of the game and seldom did
the university team have possession
of it.

The Atlanta MayordIity Contest.

Atlanta, Nov. 26 Atlanta IS
mayoralty campaign. growing more
bitter day by day, as December 2,
the date of the election is approach
ed, will be concluded Tuesday night
with torchlight professions of the
supporters of the rival candidates
which will surpass anything of the
kind ever before attempted in this
city. The assembling en- masse of
the supporters of James G. Wood
ward and Robert F. Maddox on this
occasion is viewed with some alarm
by the police and extraordinary
precautions will be taken to pre-
vent any trouble.
Charges and counter-charges
affecting the moral character of
the principals and some of their
more prominent supporters have
been made and it is not improbable
that before the end of the week
personal encounters between mem
bers Of the opposing factions will
be recorded
The registration is the largest in
the history Of Atlanta and at least
$4,000 votes are expected to be cast.

Grand Jury Jurisdiction.

A fine principle of law relative
to custom that has been followed
quite frequently in the criminal
practice of the State was involved
in case decided by the supreme
court this week, in which the CON
clusions were stated by the chief
justice. It was the case Of Posey
Haynes VS.. State, appealed from
the court of Kinds county. The
appellant among others was indict-
ed by grand jury which had been
at first discharged formally by the
court, and afterwards reassembled
by the same court to deal with sew
eral infractions of the law which
had occurred subsequently to their
first discharge. The Indictment
against Haynes. which was for rob
berry, was attacked on the ground
of illegality of the grand jury. Al
number of authorities cited by the
chief justice went to show that
such procedure was recognized in
many of the commonwealth. AS
long as the term of the court for
which the grand jury was subpoe-
naed had not expired by statutory
limitation the grand jury exists as
a part of the machinery of that
court, and the recall in the case at
bar was entirely within the discre-
ton and judgment Of the court.

Obligations to Partisans.

Ex-Gov. Vardaman, in late
number of the Issue, expresses so
well our sentiments on the bestow-
al of public patronage that we re-
produce the article with our in
dorsement:
1t is always agreeable for the
occupant of a great office to be able
to confer upon those who supported
him in his political campaign Off
cial position.
1t is perfectly natural for 10y
al and true man to want to reward
his friends for their goodness to
him. But no real friend has a
right to demand of the governor or
any other officer appointment to
public Office because of political
service rendered. And the govern
or should not consider anything
except the mans fitness, and the
public service. A public office is
a public trust, and not a private
official perquisite.
"The office was made for all the
people, and if the governor knows
his duty and will dare to perform
it. he will consider the interest of
the minority who voted against him
and protect it as sacredly as he
will the majority who supported
him.
"Any other view of the duties of
the office smacks of robbery, and is
the most dangerous brand of i'm
morality in high places.
''The cohesive power of public
plunder has caused more dishonesty
in government and failure on the
part of those who held public office
than all other influences combined.
"A man may have his friends in
private life. and he may lavish up
on them his private property, but
he has no right whatever to give to
them the patronage of the people
unless in bestowing it he is pro-
noting the greatest good to the
greatest number" +"

referee, and while holding the players
to the rules of technical basket ball,
he met with the usual amount of oppo
sition. The story contest was held in
the second ward meeting house and
the reading of the stories was part of
very interesting program. Both stories
possessed considerable merit and the
decision of the judges met with the ap-
prevail of the audience. which was a
large and enthusiastic one. After the
contest closed banquet was rendered

TIME EXTENDED.

Z. The postmaster general has fixed
April l, 1908, as the time when
publishers Of weekly newspapers
must cut off their delinquent sub
scribers, and consequently we will
give those of our subscribers who
are in arrears until that time in
which to make settlement.
We are gratified at the number of
our subscribers who have respond d
TO the statements we sent out son
weeks ago. AS evidence that the
Examiner is appreciated, out of one
hundred or more who settled their
accounts, less than half dozen have
ordered the paper discontinued, and
two of those were men who had
been away from Bear Lake county
for several years, and consequently
have lost interest in this section.
However, the Examiners family
continues to grow. Since the first
of last January very close to so new
names have been placed on our sub
scription book, and many of these
have been added without any solicit
tation upon our part.
To those subscribers who are still
IN arrears year or more we will
say that if you cannot pay the entire
bill at once, send US any amount you
can spare, if it Is only $l.00. That
is small sum but if 80 should send
MS dollar each within the next
week, 1t would be of material aid to
ns.
We are confident that every sui
Rcriher on our list, who is still in
arrears, can settle his account BY
April list. II as many respond dur
ing March as have during this
month, the Examiner will then he
able to boast of having the best paid
family of subscribers of any weekly
papar in the state of Idaho.
