A Suggestive Need.

We need men who will not give
over error or palliate mistakes; men
who have courage to go right into
the heart of things, who will preach
to the world of the value of the ex-
ample of Christ; who will teach
constantly the virtue of unselfsh-
ness; the value of loving kindness;
the glory of truth and the golden
rule of honesty and uprightness and
character; men who will tell that it
does not matter whether the whale
swallowed Jonah, or whether
Aaron's rod was turned into a SER
pent-not half so much as whether
we are fair in our dealings with our
neighbors, charitable to the poor,
tender to the sick, gentle in our
dealings with all men. That is the
sort of preaching the world needs
today. The voice Of courage and
manliness speaking to the God Of
Things as They Are. "-Washing-

Home Printing.

The Clarion Ledger commends
the Board of Supervisors of Kinds
county in holding that under the
law that all printing and binding
must be done by offices of this
State. Aside from observing the
law, it does appear that all officers
would prefer to have their printing
done in the home print shop. The
people who operate these shops are
home people, are laboring to build
up home enterprise, and in many
instances, have done as much to
elect the Office holders as any nttef
class. Besides the money paid
them for this printing is spent
among other business people and
in this way becomes a general beni-
fit to all.
The Clarion Ledger says:
We have had law similar to that
in Mississippi for years, one that
was tested in both State and Feder-
al courts, and sustained but not
withstanding that fact, the law has
been persistently and continuously
ignored by Boards of Supervisors,
and would be still ignored in many
counties, but for the opinion of
Attorney General Fletcher, who
has decided that under the law,
as found in the new code, that all
printing and binding for the several
counties must be done in this state.
The printers and binders of the
state should congratulate them
selves on the fact that the Attorney
General has come to their relief
which means that board of super
visors ignoring or violating the law
should be adopted by others, and
if the publishers and and binders
will get together to enforce their
rights, and compel boards of super
visors to obey the lay, they will do
a righteous act, for too long have
they permitted work to go outside
the state to which they were en-
titled under the law. They should
tolerate no dummy" offices such
as was set up by Turner, Chapman
and others, when in fact these out
side concerns had made no invest
ment whatever, and were simply
whipping the devil around the
stump" in pretending to own Off
ces in this state.
The printers and binders of Mis-
sissippi shonld now organize for
their own protection, otherwise they
will find boards of supervisors do
ing as did that of Lowndes county
ignoring and defying the law which
is a matter CT history.
