PRIVATE CITIZENSHIP MORE, NO
LESS

The paIladiums contention that It
was the private citizen and not the
prosecuting attorney that was being
passed upon at the coming primary to
decide the peoples choice between Jes-
sup. Campbell and Veneer, has met
with the hearty approval of many OF
our citizens who had not looked at the
question in that light before. AS one
man said about it yesterday, If it is
true that Jessup deserves first con
sideration from the voters of Wayne
county because he has been a law en-
forcing prosecutor why should not the
other fellows be lined up on account
of their professional duties: Why not
say that Campbell deserves the vote
of all Christians in the county because
he is minister, and that Veneer de
lieve in good health, because he is
DOCTOR" OF course. that is a little
far fetched, but it only goes to show
the feeling of resentment that has been
aroused by the claim that .Jessup
of all other candidates. because his de
feat would mean that a aw-enforcing
prosecuting attorney was not desired
by this county. That argument will
not hold water for, as we have stated
Wayne county wants law enforcing
prosecutor or not, was settled over
year ago when Jessup was reelected.
Jessup has always been a law-enforc-
ing prosecutor. The lawless element
had found this out before the end of
his first term in office. When he was
renominated and reelected therefore,
it proved that the good citizenship of
Wayne county placed the seal of APP
prevail on his Interpretation of the
duties of prosecutor. But to seek to
make the issue at the coming primary
one in regard to the prosecutors Of
fee Is unfair to the other candidates,
both of whom are also estimable men.
DR.. Veneer has served our county in
the state legislature, and were there
any reason why he should not aspire to
serve our district In congress it would
bell has never served us politically in
any way, but he is showing an aptness
for things political that would be a
credit to one much more versed in such
affairs than he is. ANY one of the three
candidates. Jessup, Campbell or Yen
Ger, as private citizens, are entitled to
the consideration of every republican
voter at the coming primary. They
are all clean and upright men and well
qualified for the position they seek.
1t Is, however. a question to be decided
by the republicans OF the county as to
which one of these men they consider
most acceptable to support. In this
selection the Palladium. being the re-
publican organ, has no choice. But
after primary, which ever one of these
men has been selected by Wayne
county republicans will receive our
undivided and loyal support. Nor will
we rest with working for Wayne coun-
TVS candidate through the Palladium
alone, but will get out and rustic just
as much as the next one, TO help land
the nomination for our county's can
didate at the district convention.

Prohibition BiIl Finally Passes and State viii be
Cry After December 1--VeTy Little Cppesi-
iion to the Bill, Only -Four Votes Being kgaiast.

Interest centered Thursday in the
statutory prohibition bill, which was
the special order in the Senate. and
scores of visitors, especially ladies, were
on hand to hear the debate, which lasted
well along into the afternoon, and was
finally passed with bat four votes egainst
it, though Mr.. Engle of Adams county,
would have voted nay except that he
was paired with Mr.. Burrus, who would
have voted for the bill. Those four who
did vote againt the BID were Baird, of
Sunflower county, Gibbs of Yazoo coun-
ty, Mcdonald of jackson, Hancock and
Harrison counties and McLaurin of
Warren county.
The only serious contention had been
over the date of closing the last of the
saloons, and in spirit OF fairness to
those men of the five or six wet counties
who had their all invested in their busi-
ness, the prohibitionist had finally
agreed to the last day of the present
year as the time for the general closing,
and when the demon would be driven
from the confines of the commonwealth.

PROPOSED ELECTIVE JUDICIARY.
Mr.. Quin Wants Legislature to Pass Measure
Making Judges Run in Primaries

Mr.. Quin. of Kinds, has offered sub
stitute to the proposed elective judi
ciary system that many members of the
legislature are sheepishly wondering
why it has not been thought of before.
10 carry out Governor Noel's plan
for an elective judiciary system would
require an amendment to the constitu-
ton, the ratification of which would re-
quire period CT two years. Mr.. Quin
offers simpler method by offering a
bill providing that circuit and supreme
judges and chancellors be nominated
at primary elections, as United States
senators are now nominated, the nomi-
nees to be appointed by the governor
and sent to the senate for ratification.
In view of the fact that no governor
would dare to select member of the
Judiciary who had not been nominated
by the white Democratic voters of the
State, the Quin plan looks simple and
effective, and it is believed that it will
secure favorable consideration by the
lawmaking body.

THE VALENTINE SEASON IS NOW ON.
Did You Receive Sentimental or Comic Valen
tine?- Where These Come From~SOns Hand
Draws Pictures and One Writes the
Doggerel.

Yesterday was St. Valentines Day
and from now on to the end OF the
month, according to custom, you may
send your adored one silent messen-
ger OF love.
The Bay ST. Louis shops this year
offer many beautiful specimens and
the stock of 'fcomics" is extensive and
varied. Even if you were never the re-
cipient or sender of comic valentine,
it is interesting to learn something OF
their manufacture, for the modern com
ic postal card has by no means driven
out the ancient comic valentine, accord
ing to J. r. Thompson, who is superin-
tendent Of the only valentine factory in
the United States. This factory is in
Brooklyn, N. Y, employs 800 men and
girls and on the road is represented by
six travelling statesmen.
The firm imports no valentines, but ex-
ports annually many thousand dollars
worth to Europe and Australia, fact
explained by the modernity of Ameri-
can printing presses.
The artist who draws the pictures for
these comic valentines is G.. j. Howard,
who lives in Brooklyn, but who is now
travelling in Mexico for his health. He
is 60 years old, a family man, and has
devoted his talents to comic valentines
for forty years.
According to Mr.. Thompson, Mr..
Howard finds inspiration for his pictures
in the streets and at places of popular
resort. He travels extensively for this
purpose and is naturally an observant
person endowed with grim sense Of
humor.
Mr.. Howard submits about one thou
sand pen and ink sketches every year
and the firm accepts about four hundred
and fifty of them, paying uniform
price for each drawing accepted.
The firm for which Mr.. Howard works
has been manufacturing comic valen-
tines for seventy-two years, and in its
employ is W.. Rigney, poet of great
versatility, who not only writes the dog
gerel which accompanies the penny
comic valentine, but also writes the love
sonnets for the sentimental valentines,
which range from cents to S. each.
"I usually write to Howard's comic
pictures" said Mr.. Rigney. GAS rule
a glance at one of his drawings will in
spire the verse. Sometimes words and
ideas will come to ME unbidden, and
then will make suggestion to Howard
FOE the drawing ola picture.
. stTo this extent alone we are collabo-
rators. He is paid for each picture,
while l am under an annual salary about
the size of a laureate's. Pm single, 40
years old, and as this is leap year have
still hopes, although in the past l have
had hopes still born.'

Gulfport Journal Reports "a Rare Case"

1t sometimes happens, but rarely, that
the kind of telephone in use (?) in Mis-
sissippi, of an ancient and antique pat
tern, serves some emergency purpose
and proves inductive of other things
than profanity and vexation of spirit.
An instance of the kind is reported
mark the word reported-from Jackson.
A Jackson woman was afflicted with a
phone-s'even as you and l." borrowing
from Rudy Kipling, and like other
phones of the primeval period, it was a
fraud and a nuisance. Naturally, the
Jackson woman wished to have 1t re-
moved as deception, a religious stumb-
ling BLOCK, and voiceless mockery and
travesty on real hello machine. Agree
ably, she notified the Co. to come and
get the thing. Of course the Company
didn't-right away, being prompt only
in making collections. Luckily, for
once, they didn't, for on that night a
burglar entered the home of the Jackson
woman--not for the purpose OF stealing
the telephone-ah, no! but doubtless
after Jewels, cash and other valuables
worth while. The burglars presence
was discovered, and vigorous ring of
the phone frightened him away-though
for that matter so far as danger of any
report being heard at the other end OF
the line - he might aswell have re-
mained and finished the work in hand.
The telephone company should receive
credit for unintentially performing a
real service, and it shows that even a
bum phone can at times be OF value.

STATE TREASURY PAYMENT.
Mr.. Edwards Issues Letter to Public on Sub
jeci Of Sending Money.

Treasurer George R. Edwards, Jr.,
today issued the following relative to
treasury payments:
ssTo the Public: / am receiving
through the mails and by express pack
ages of money to be paid into the public
treasury. Very many of these packages
have nothing upon them toindicate from
whom the money comes, nor for whose
account. Fearing that this may result
in endless confusion, hasten to request
all bankers and sheriffs to carefully in
dicate on each package OF money sent
to me who the money is from and for
whose account it IS to be paid into the
treasury.
ST wish to further suggest that sher-
ifs use, insofar as possible, the warrants
for the common school fund in making
settlements with the treasury. This will
save express charges and greatly facili-
tate prompt attention to the public bus
mess"

mothers VINO died from having their
clothing ignited while trying to save
their burning children. The mortality
is greatest in children of four. The av-
