Doing Good Work.

three-day campaign of Hattiesburg, is
still in South Mississippi He is

day will be devoted to Collins, Thurs

Few people realize the Importance
of the work which the state board
of health has undertaken in placing
DR.. Meyer in the field.
Health should be the first consider
alton in every community, but the
essentials of hygiene and sanitation
are little regarded as a rule, and a
false theory of economy on the part
of school boards and city officials not
infrequently endangers the lives of in.
nocent and helpless children.
Even adult citizens, who ought tc
know better, frequently violate the
simplest and most generally accepted
theories, and few families, where tn
berculosis and other infectious dis
eases exist, take precautions to pre-
vent it's spread.
All of these things are forcefull!

Hobson is Alarmed.

Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Ala
bama, Merimac hero and the man who
defeated Colonel Bankhead for con-
gress, has written an open letter to
President Roosevelt in which he siren
uously opposes the withdrawal of the
battleship feet from the Pacific, ex-
pressing the fear that war would i'm
mediately result.
For more than year, Hobson has
been predicting a conflict with, Japan.
Even during his first campaign for
congress, when other statesmen were
engaged in the discussion of serious
economical problems, Hobson was gal
avanting around the country crying
war and imploring the government to
build battleships.
We have had no war.
On the contrary those high in the
councils of the Japanese government
have time and again given expression
to their friendly feeling toward this
government, and even the yellow
newspapers have ceased to initiate
their street sales by the publication
of stories of an imaginary conflict
between the two countries.
Just what Hobson expects to achieve
by his persistent predictions of war,
we cannot attempt to explain.
1t may be that he is suffering from
an aggravated form of dementia, or
it is possible that he is only trying
to make a noise in order to keep him.
self before the public.
At any rate he is public nuisance
and ought to be abated.

OUTDOOR SPORTS
GAINING FAVOR

That not only football, but many
other forms of outdoor sport are be-
coming more popular and are being
more generally encouraged in the pub
lie schools as we'll as the colleges
of the state, is the view of prominent
educators, and the tendency in that
direction in this state is being en-
couraged by those at the head of the
educational systems of both the state
and the several cities and towns.
Basketball for the girls is not only
encouraged, but in many schools is
being actually taught and made a
sort of pleasant duty on the part of
the pupils, and in nearly all the towns
sufficiently large to have two or more
schools match games are frequently
arranged between the best teams.
The result is wholesome one. and
from a hygienic standpoint is en-
dorsed by the medical fraternity gen.
orally.
Basketball in Mississippi has been
made famous by Prof. Edgar Green of
Brookhaven, who, in the educational
system there made it almost compul.
sorry, although that was not neces
sary, and had trained one of the best
teams in the country. His team last
year defeated the Jackson team,
which was not, bad one itself, and
has made some excellent records else.

not the idea.
President Roosevelt loves the short
er way; he has a characteristic dis
regard for shams; he does not hide
behind technicalities, he does not
shield himself with empty formalities;
so secure is his control that what he
does may be done in the open, what he

his colleague, singularly enough, has
not been heard from.
The procedure, it must be admitted,
saves a lot of trouble. 1t is refresh
ingly simple, delightfully."- complete and
as final as a Medean decree.
1t may be an improvement on con-
stitutional old-fogyism; 1t may, now
and again, lead to the election (heav-
en- save the word) of Root in place
of Plat; it may aid nightly in Sc
curing the enactment of some pet
great measure, but it is, clearly, a
usurpation.
The Democratic platform called for
constitutional amendment looking
toward the election of United States
senators by popular vote. With his
customary vigor Mr.. Roosevelt is
working powerfully in that direction.

As Good As Done.

Diplomatic appointments have to be
confirmed by the senate; appoint
ments to the senate, dictated by the
boss, are accepted, more or less re-
luctantly, by his lieutenants. There
is no pretense of consulting the rep
resentatives of the people, even less
of considering what may be the pop
ular voice. Theirs not to question
why" sang the poet, and the verse
caps the case.
The fitness of the secretary of state
for a seat in the senior chamber is no
where disputed; but equipment, how.
ever signal and pre-eminent, is but
one of the requirements, or rather l.,
in point of fact, not one Of the re-
quirements. The Constitution build
ers were content to leave such de-
batable ground to the legislators in
the last instance, but, primarily ia
those who sent them. United States
senators, it was intended, should rep
resent the delegated judgment Of the
people; it was never suggested thai
their selection should be foreordained
