forms Of Candidates for
Governor,

AS the liquor questiou is one
of the leading issues in tie pres
ent campaign, we publish for the
benefit of our readers the plat
forms OF the two candidates for
governor in so far as. they relate
10 this particular question.
Governor &nsel's Solution.
"My position OH the liquor
question is what I call restricts d
local option-that is local option
az between county prohibition and
county dispensary. Those coun-
ties voting to sell liquor shall be
restricted to one dispansary in
the county aud that one at the coun
ty seat, except in those counties
wherein there is a city of more
than $4,000 population. in which
counties more than one dispensa-
ry may be established This is in
accordance with my recommended
tons to the general assembly as
set forth in my annual message
of 90S, is in the interest Of tenn
perance and will minimize the
sale of liquor.
"With the experience that |
have had in the past two wears in
the proposed elections that we're
desired in some counties Oh the
liquor question, 7 am of the
opinion tnat it will be better to
enact law by which a county
can vote on the question of voting
in the sale of liquor as above re-
stricted, instead of voting it out.
as now provided that is, make
all the counties dry until q ma
jority of the qualified voters ct a
county vote to sell liquor IN that
particular county, and if a ma
jori'y of the qualified v,ters vote
TO sell that one county dispeasary
then be established as above set
forth, with the right to vote the
dispensary out at a subsequent
election.
"In 10 State can liq1or be sold
as matter Of right. Permission
has to be obtained from the pro-
per authorities in the way pro-
vided by law. aud it seems to M
that the better plan in this State
would be to provide for voting
the sale in, rather than voting it
out, under the restriction above
set forth. Whatever law, how
ever. the general assembly, in its
wisdom, may enact, | shall en-
deayor TO enforce"

Good Advice.

Sentiment is not business. No
great business organization can be
built up by sentiment alone. No be-
lever of The Farmers Union should
talk anything but business to our peo-
pie. To array one class against another
will do us no good, but a great deal of
harm"
The above from the National Co.
operator. the general organ of the
Farmers Union, is a wise statement
and the very best advice to the great
body of men united together under
the name of the Farmers Union for
the betterment Of the educational and
financial condition of those who till
the soil and make possible the success
and prosperity of every other business,
calling and profession.
The very friendliest spirit should
be cultivated by the Union. 1t GER
tainly will do no good but a great
deal of harm''tO needleSSly antagonize
other interests. The Union wants the
very friendlieSt relations with all.
These who are foolhardy and willful-
ly attempt to ObStruct the purposes Of
the Union should and will be run
over. The Union has a ''cOw catcher
for all such but The Sentinel is graft
fed to be able to state that it has OBJ
served but little Of such antagOniSm
and the better It's purposes are under
stood the better the sane and wise
will lend it support and encourage

Ultimately his financial death, the
merchant should oppose the system
nd do all in his power to do away
with it, and he will do so when he
properly understands it.
We should simply refuse to give a
mortgage. The merchant many
times is forced to exact a mortgage if
ne sells on credit, he must likely buy
| on credit, and the man from whom he
buys will not sell him unless he exacts
| mortgages from those to whom he ex-
| tends credit. Thus YOU see it is not

is the fault Of the system under

weary years.
There is no way to be financially
independent but to stay clear of mort

The Mortgage System,

To-day the fight against the mort
gage and credit system is one of The
basic principles of The Farmers's
Union, the greatest farmers Organiza-
tion this world has ever seen. When
we first began the fight, the merchants
of our little city were very utter
against us, believing that we were
trying to injure their business, and to
really run them out of business. But
they finally gotconverted to the doc
trine and became as great supporters
Of the doctrine as we were.
The fight against mortgages is not
afight against the merchants or any
other legitimate business. This is a
fight not only for the farmer, but for
all other legitimate business enter
priSes. The system is bad not only
for the farmer. but for the merchant
as well. With all the caution merch-
ants a take, fully 95 per cent of
them fail sooner or later. This
proves beyond any doubt whatever
that the system is bad for them as
well as for the farmer. 1t is financial
death to the farmer all the time and
is financial death to the merchant
sooner or later. The farmer, now,

The proposition to prohibit the
carrying of a pistol with less than a
twenty eight inch barrel is agOOd one.
To stimulate an observance of the
law we would suggest that minium fine
of a fifty dollars be imposed upon any
partycaught carrying concealed a pistol
of shorter length and that he be de-
prived Of the right Of suffrage for a
period of two years from the date of
such conviction, and further, that
twenty-five dollars be paid to every
informant upon the conviction Of any
one he has presented for carrying a
pistol concealed. Human life is too
cheap in Mississippi and in our Opion-
ion it largely grows out of promus-
cuodS pistol tOting. Something radi-
cal needs to be done.
