LABOR and IT'S REWARD.
The PROCEEDS OF Toll SHOULD Be
EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED
Beautiful Extract from Bfyan'S La.
bOr-Day Speech

The jury system must be preserved,
and we cannot hope to preserve it if,
| for any reason or under any pretext,
we permit any citizen to be denied
the protection which it furnishes.
According to the Declaration of In
dependence, governments are insti-
| tuted among men to secure to them
the enjoyment of their inalienable
rights Among these inalienable
rights, three are. specially enumerated
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. The second and third, how
ever, are really parts of the first, for
life means nothing to the individual
if it is confined to mere animal eX-
istence.
Man is distinguished from the brute
in that the latter merely eats and
sleeps and dies, while man is endowed
by the Creator with infinite POSSIBLE
ities Liberty is necessary for the
realization of mans possibilities.
| His conscience must be left free that
he may fix for himself the relation be-
tween himself and his God. His mind
must be left free that he may devise
and plan for himself, for his family
and for his fellows.
His speech must be free that he may
give to the world the results of his in
vestigation and present to others the
ideal which he is trying to realize in
his work
His pen must be free that he may
scatter seed thoughts to the uttermost
parts of the earth and leave to pos
terity a record of his work. He finds
in government the cheapest, as well
as the surest, protection of this lib
erty, to be, to think, to speak, to act.
And what constitutes the pursuit of
happiness? Man must have home and
friends-fanily and society. He must
have food or he will starve. He must
have clothing and shelter; he must
have books, he must have instruments
with which to work. He must pro-
vide during the period of strength
for the years when age dulls his en-
ergies and benumbs his hands. He
may have ambition, he may have will
ingness to work and an environment
that spurs him on; but the govern
ment may encourage or it May dis
courage his efforts. Government may
bid him hope or leave him to despair.

reign of the Sultan the toiler is not

tends his crop, the rowing Bedouins
will sweep down from the hills at har-

industry.
If the government does not assure
to the individual the enjoyment of the
result of his effort, there is no stimu-

The Republicans are boasting of
what Taft accomplished in the Philip
pines. "a Returned Exile" writing to
the New York World thus concludes:
Nov, one word further about the
Philippine Assembly. Mr.. Taft pub
icly announced that the Philippine
Assembly has succeeded. Well, this
Is how they succeeded: First, they
voted to raise their own salaries from
20 to 80 pesos per diem; second, they
passed a law to reduce the salaries
of all Americans by one-third; third,
in order to clear obstacles to insur-
rection they voted to cut down the
number of constabulary soldiers from
5000 to 5000 enlisted men. And last,
they yelled for independence and then
Mr.. Taft felt highly gratifed."

rising to the rank of captain, and COM
manding company in the Fifth Mis-
sissippi Regiment. After the war he
settled in Noxubee, marrying Miss
Louisa Stovall, who, with their chill
dren, survives him.
Mr.. Mcleod entered the ministry of
the Cumberlrnd Presbyterian church al
most Immediately after the war and had
charges in this county at Lynn Creek,

MIR. Sisson Goes to Congress.

In the Fifth Congressional Dis.
trict. Hon. T. U. Sisson came out
in the lead, beating Hon. Shed
Hill, the present incumbent, 40C
votes, and the third candidate
was nowhere. Now Mr.. Hill
retires, and Mr.. Sisson either
gets the nomination outright OF
runs in a second primary, with
odds of a hundred to one in his
favor. He will be the next Con-
gressman.
This is most PLEASANT news to
many people in Noxubee, who
formed a high regard for Mr..
Sisson in his race for the COVER
norship and are deeply interested
in his political career. Mr.. Sisson
is a most attractive gentleman
and a man of high order Of
ability, and will be heard from
when he reaches Washington,
He is probably destined to play
an important in the field of publ
lie affairs in Mississippi in the
years to come, and his career
will be watched with interest by
all those who take interest in
politics-the which all Mississip-
plans do.

Mary Ellen Mauldin's Death.

News was received in town last Fri.
day afternoon of the death or Mary
Ellen, the sweet and attractive little
daughter of Mr., and Mrs. Joshua
Mauldin. The child had been i'll only a
few days when congestion set in, with
the sad result. Mary Ellen was only
seven years old when the dread sum-
mons came that removed her from
those whose happiness was so largely
bound up in her She was her parents
youngest child, and her affectionate dis
position and many attractive traits of
character had especially endeared her
to them and to all who knew her. Hers

occur, but in her future the divine
promise is doubly sure of fulfillment !:

A Hungry Calf.

We have all heard of the tagged
goat, going by express, who ate up the
place he was going to, but Summer
vile, or Gholson, as it is now called, has
a calf that ate up one registration book,
containing the names of several hun
dred voters and about hundred Demo-
cratic ballots. This happened the
other day, during the primary election,
while the election officers were at din
ner. 1t is not stated whether the calf
belonged to jeff Prince or Doctor
Whittle, nor for whom the votes were,
Either Mr.. Gambler or Mr.. Mitchell
ought to buy that calf, If they are
to continue to be in politics, a calf
like that could be very useful in the
enemy's stronghold.

Attorney-Ceneral Fletcher.

Hon. r. V. Fletcher. the
Attorney-General of is,issi ppi,
was elected President of the Con
vention of the Attorney Generals
of the various States of the
Union. which met in Denver last
week. He read learned and
valuable paper before the con-
vention on the repeal of the Fif-
teenth Amendment which has
attracted much attention, not
only by reason of its depth and
breadth of view, but also by
reason of it's freedom from hys-
terra and bitterness. He treats
the subject calmly and dispas-
sionately, and from a legal and
constitutional standpoint, and his
views will have thrice the weight
of passionate and exaggerated
declamatiOnS.
As for the honor done Mr..
Fletcher, and, through him, to
the State Of Mississippi, it was a
very great one. The Attorney
General is, in many states, the
ablest member Of the State gov
ernment, and they stand. Off
cially. at the head Of the bars of
their States. To be honored by
and among such a body of men is
a distinction which reflects the
very highest honor on a man
and the State he represents.
The best thing about Mr..
Fletcher's laurels is the fact that
they are thoroughly deserved.
Mississippi has produced many
fine public men, and her present
Attorney-General is the peer of
any of them. Prentiss may
have been more eloquent, Jeffer-
son Davis a greater statesman,
Lamar more scholarly, George
more aggressive with his weight
mess, and John Sharp Williams
may be more brilliant than is
Mr.. Fletcher. But he deserves
to rank right along with these
great Mississippians, and in
character and ability and useful
ness, for a man of his years. he
is second to none of them.
Things are well with Missis-
sippi when men such as Mr..
Fletcher win high honor from
her citizens. And his elevation
is the more hopeful when it is
considered that he has succeeded
by his merit and the merit of his
work, without once departing
from that dignity and reserve so
becoming men in high places,
and so sadly lacking in man
prominent men in this State
coming into place since the pass
ing of Lamar. George and Wal
thall. And whatever other hon
ors and Offices come to him, they
will be obtained by the same
honorable means and filled with
the same ability and faithful
ness.
The press is so often made the
vehicle of personal liking or
political favors that some dis
claimer seems necessary at times.
Certainly a tribute to such a
man as Mr.. Fletcher deserves to
be freed from any taint whatso-
ever. The writer therefore
states that what is written of
him is written without gratitude
for past favors or hope of fu-
ture reward. His acquaintance
with Mr.. Fletcher is but little |
more than casual, and no political
tie binds him to his subject. He
simply had good opportunity to
know Mr.. Fletcher, personally |
and officially, and as a Mississip-
plan loving his State, taking
pride in her greatness and her
no ,or, and hopeful Of her future,
and as a man with sneaking
fondness for a good man, he de-
lights to honor such a Mississip-
Man a. Mr.. Fletcher.
