No New Party.

In 1900 Debs, the Socialist
nominee for the Presidency, re-
ceived 81, 200 votes. 1t 1904 his
vote rose to 1920 This year
it is less than it was four years
ago, thought larger than 1900.
1t may be conceded that his com
paratively large vote in 1904 was
due to Democratic dissatisfied
ion with the nomination of Park
er, but nobody who knows any
thing of the genesis and growth
of political parties in this coun-
try will pay any attention to his
claim that the result this year
shows substantial gains for his
party, if party it may be called.
Neither revolutions nor evolu-
tions move backward. If there
were a future for any sort of a
Socialist party in this country
Debs would this year have in
creased his vote of four years ago
to a million or whereabouts. So
cialism is not a menacing factor
in our policies, and cannot be
until our dominating Anglo
Saxon, Irish American and Ger
an-American population is sup
planted by people of a different
breed.
There is only an infnitessimal
element of our population that
does not believe that civilization
and progress depend upon the
rights of property and the prin-
ciple that every good citizen
should be a creator of wealth and
that he should keep as much OF
it for himself and his family as
he honestly can. The success.
full citizen may contribute QUITO
his abundance to the aid of the
unfortunate, but he comedies
the right of no man to claim ;
share of what is lawfully his.
The main issue between GU
great national parties will be il
the future, as it has been in tn
past, between those who believ,
with Jefferson that there shoulC
be equal rights for all, specia
privilegest to none, and those VIII
seek to use government for pri
vate gain.
The Democratic party hold
fast it's unrelaXing grasp upo

vast majority of the America
people are inspired 0y the sam

becomes apparent that Pre-.
ident-elect Taft cannot CONVEX

Mississippians Want
Johns Pistol Law

! JACKSON, MISS Dec. 81. An
effort will be made during the
approaching session Of the Mis-
sissippi legislature to put the
pistol-toter out Of business.
Members of the body have secur-
dzcopies of the Johns laws, re-
Gently enacted by the Alabama
legislature, and a measure of
similar import, requiring that no
pistols shall be sold whose bar
rels are less than twenty-four
inches in length, will be offered
for passage by the Mississippi
assembly.
An effort will also be made to
place restrictions on the sale of
dirks, bowie knives, and similar
deadly weapons, and those who
are behind the movement believe
that it will be a long step toward
decreasing cri m e, especially
among the negroes of the state,
many of whom habitually carry
concealed weapons.

NUMBER Al


On the 22nd of May, 1907. The angel
OF death visited the home of Rev. w. j,
Thomas and severed his connection with
all things earthly.
j The charmed circle is broken dear
face missed day by day from its accus-
TONED place, But. cleansed and saved
and perfected by grace, One more in
Heaven.
SORROW sometimes comes when we
are least ready for it. yet it comes and
we must meet it as best we can with
trust in God. Bro. Thomas was born
December the 4th, 1917. Died Nav
22nd, 1907. Aged SO years months and
l8 days Bro. Thomas was born in South
Carolina, moved to Miss. in early life.

Ministry tn 1851, was married to Miss
Louisa Mattox November 9th, 1858.
his wife and five children survive him.
Ed. Thomas words were chaste and
pure, a truelv great character he did
not talk much, but when he did it
counted for good. He was quiet and
unassuming, in his bearing, was always
pleasant, did not try to be what he was
not for effect.
He was always ready to defend the
truth either in the pulpit or out of it.
The strongest point in his life was to
live for God. l never have known a
purer christian life than his. He was
altogether an unselfsh character. 1t
was my pleasure to have been intimate
y acquainted with him for so years and
in speaking of death have often heaId
him say hewas ready to GO at any time,
rejoiced this beautiful christmas eve
ming that had the pleasure of being
so often with this christian hero, but
yet my joy is mingled somewhat with
sadness, because find myself unmind-
full of God and his goodness so often.
But yet hope and trust that in as
much as it was my pleaaure to be with
him so many times during his life, that
his godly counsel may yet bo the means
OF arousing my slumbering conscience
to more active work, in the vineyard
OF the Lord. Bro. Thomas during all
his life was regarded weakly constitut-
ed man, yet lived to remote old age.

The tower operator, seeing that some a signal and the train of six cars came to a stop on sharp curve. The ac- cident occurred while many of the passengers were in the dining car. Few of them realized their narrow escape. The train proceeded after an hours delay.
 Secretary Taft and National Com mitteeman Kellogg entered the dining car and sat down to dinner after the accident occurred, without thought of anything serious in connection with the stopping or delay of the train. The secretary made no comment on the incident when informed of it The engineer of the locomotive ex- plalned that 1t was merely good luck that averted bad accident.
 If the piston-rod. after it broke, had gone under the train." he said I've would have gone into the ditch as we were running fifty miles an hour, and the derallment would have been serious matter. Fortunately the broken rod landed five or six inches outside the left rail. That l saved us."

YES, IT WAS WARM
Uninterrupted Hot Spell Coming on Longest Day of Year
 A Record.
10000. CROWD THE ROCK
Momauguin the Popular Spot for Yale Graduatcs-Mcrcury Around
 Ninety.

With the mercury lowering around ninety all day yesterday people in and about this town found the day the hot test of the year, despite the fact that the official indicator of Mir. Tar show ed 1t to be about a degree cooler than Saturday It was hot In the morning yesterday, hot at noon, hot in the af- ternoon and very hot all night and that's all there was to it. As a con tinuous performance the weather yes- terday took the cake and anybody would have wagered that the day was the hottest of the year. People will be- lieve 1t was despite the reports coming from the Insurance building.
 An official statement emanatinr from Mir. Tarr at one of the warmest mo- ments last night was to the effect that today would be just about as comfort able as yesterday. As a whole 1t can't be quite as disagreeable, for Sunday was the longest day of the year. Just why 1t should be the hottest not even MT. Tarr can explain. The combination of the longest and the hottest beats anything handed out here for years.
 All day long suffering New Haveners donned their good clothes, piled into trolley cars or carriages and made for the shore and, In the effort to keep cool, probably weren't half as comfort able as those wise ones who camped out in their own back yards. Not to move, was the secret of day like yes- terday, unless of course, one moved to the salt water and remained In said water for an hour or two.
 At the Rock there were record breaking crowds, 10000 people visiting that resort. All the attractions coined money, and when the band began to play in the park In the afternoon there was standing room only. The lawns, clubhouse and water at Momaugun were also crowded yester- day afternoon. This was favorite resort for the graduates, few of whom have yet visited the Rock. It is doubt | full if there were dozen there Satur- day night, but today they will go there in droves. Supper has been arranged for many of the classes there tonight and tomorrow.
