MiSSlSSlpli'S Educational
Needs.
TO The People Of Mississippi:

he best blood
in the world courses through the
veins OF the white people Of
Mississippi. 1t is the blood Of
both pilgrim and cavalier has
been has been handled down
through the centuries without
faint or corruption. No people
or nation has more right to be
nroud OF ancestry than has this
people. nor can any boast of
hrichter record in deeds of vul0r
both on the field Of battle aud in
the halls ul statesmauship.
Page on page might be written
recountin" the deeds of great
nen,--our LlmarS, onr Georges.
and even Of those who are on
the stage of public activity.
But our purpose is not to point
to the pages OF the past, but to
train your vision Oh thefuture by
aruusing your Interest III present
conditions and tuturepossibiiit,eS
Since the organization Of tn e
public school system Of Mississippi
vi there has been wonderful de.
vrlnpmeut of our intellectual and
material resources. AS cur
srh0oI system has developed our
people have grown in power and
in wealth. This is no coincidence
but is an illustration OF Il gene
YaIlaw that the wealth-eavning
power Of the people is in direct
proportion to the character and
the amount of the education they
receive. "Our schools have not
been poor because we are poor,
but We have been poor and are
now poor because our schools
have been poor" With all
the Improvement in our educ
atinnal facilities we find cur
school system IN many respects
crude and unsatisfactory.-fai,-
ing to give our boys and girls a
fair chance in the race of lie
with those of other sections.
Our towns and cities are dolng
we'll, but even their schools are
weak In some points, especially
in HAT no training is given to
dignity labor. Manual training
and domestic science, absolutely
necessary to make the hand deft
and skilled, are no part of the
course Of study. In no particu-
!; r, even our city schools are
behind those of every other state
in the Union.
But the great problem for
our State to solve quickly, is the
problem of the rural school. We
believe that the boys and girls of
our rural sections should have
equal educational advantages
with those of our towns and
cities, and that all Of our youth
should have as good opportunity
as the youth of any section of the
country.
In comparing educational con-
ditions in Mississippi with those
of other states We find, Cd that
81 states and territories have
longer school terms than Missis-
sippi; (2) that 46 of them spend
more on the education of each
child than does Mississippi; l3)
that the average rural term in
the United states is 25 percent
greater than it is in Mississippi ;
<4) that the amount spent for
public education in the Union is
more than $13 for each adult
male. while in this state it is
only SIS for each adult male We
find that Mississippi spends less
according to per capita ecealth
than does even Massachusetts,
where the average wealth is very
high. In Massachusetts there is
spent for public education 3.45
mills on each dollar of property
value. This average wealth of
each inhabitant Is $1440, which

That Second Elective Term.
Washington is getting very much
jaded about political headquarters. OF
course the Republican party. being al.
ways rich and having reduced the mat
ter of raising funds to system, always
has its headquarters maintained here
and well paid and comfortable lot of
clerks, stenographers. secretaries and
assistant chairmen in charge. How
ever poor the country may he, however
empty that famous dinner pail. the peo-
pie who work for the Republican ma
tiOnal committee are prosperous, well
paid and sure of a permanent job. But
that is not the point. We are getting
here in Washington more kinds of po-
litical headquarters than ever known
to politics. Right next to the Repub-
lican headquarters is Il suit of rooms
filled with press agents, cartoonists.
stenographers and secretaries, all paid
by the Hon. Jonathan Bourne, senator
from the state of Oregon, and all work

In his speech before the New Eng
land Democratic Progressive league at
Boston on the 10th, Alexander Troup
of New Haven aptly described the op-
position to Bryan among professed
democrats when he said: "The re-
dictionaries belong to the rule or ruin
contingent They left nothing undone
in 1896 or 1900 to ruin and demoralize
the democratic party, and they were
equally successful in 1904, when they
were permitted to rule and boss the
democratic organization. A majority
of the sulkers of 1896 and 1900, who
were safe and sane in 1904, and in
1908 with their sanity unimpaired, are
the only people who are now asserting
that Mr.. Bryan cannot win if nomi-
mated"

The democratic city township con-
vention, in pursuance with policy al
ways maintained by the party and,
consistent with it's entire attitude in
the past on the question, declared for
clean moral conditions and the strict
enforcement of saloon regulation last
night, but taking firm and unmistak-
able stand against prohibition as con-
trary to democratic principles. This
action puts it up to the republican
city convention to declare itself one
way or another on the issue.
