The good people of fair old Mississ-
ppi should never rest content until
the Prohibition clause is written in
to the organic law of the Magnolia
state. When another Legislature
meets we should have so settled upon
this thing that there will be no pet
fish cOntrariness as to which is the
best method: Constitutional Conven-
tion or Constitutional Amendment.
Delay is foolish, and we but encour-
age the liquor interests to spend un
told monies within our borders to
create reactionary ent i'm t
against the present Statutory law in
force. This law is at the caprice of
of the Legislatures that shall meet
from time to time, to repeal. Lets
fasten the question once for all time
while we are at it, and this will
forever convince the liquor folks of
the futillty of squandering further
wealth in Mississippi in the hopes
of ushering back the saloon. We
can attend to the Jug trade and the
Illicit. distiller each in their turn,
when this constitutional law has
boon secured.

Miss Ollie Patton, the Meridian
white girl who married a Chinese
laundryman the latter part of last
month, has gained considerable no
toriety and been deprived OF the pri-
vilege of living with her hubby, as
the laws of Mississippi prevent the
marriage of a white person to a ne
gro or monaghan. The Hattiesburg
Daily News suggests that it was her
last effort as Leap Year was going
out. This is a shame on the old
bachelors of Meridian.

There is one kind of person, that
III an overwhelming per cent, never
amounts to anything in this life.
This is the fellow who is constantly
seeking the soft places. Dodging
the hard jobs. Eyading work and
worries that means the putting forth
of his best energies and perseverance.
he is not quite in the position of the
ne er-do-well, who has declared that
the world owes him a living, and his
occupation lies chiefly in collecting it.
The difference comes in, by the char
acter we are treating, reasoning
that ] am entitled to living from
this world on easy terms, and about
all L have to do is to dodge being
trlcked into harder methods of Sc
curing it than is my due. Some
such deluded ones never wake up to
their mistake; others do when their
mlsspent life has about frizzled away,
and when too late to adopt a more
sensible and profitable policy. Every
man owes it to the world, the gene
ration in which he lives, to himself
and his Creator to put forth all along
ilfe's. journey the very best that
within his powers lie. Anything
short Of this will always bring its
corresponding portion of regret for
the period SO abused. If this para
graph will incite some half-drone in
society to study his or her own neces-
sity for emendation and inspire to
an ennobling ambition, we shall feel
amply repaid for Its writing and
such criticism as it may provoke
towards us.

SOME OBSERVATIONS Re-
GARDING The AMERICAN
NATION CELEBRATING
CHRISTMAS.

-
Thanksgiving, / believeis of Amer
lean origin; gotten up by our Pilgrim
fathers. The day had not been strictly
and regularly observed in the South
each year since its origin until since
the late war. 1t is now national
day and is looked forward to by the
generality of people each year with
considerable interest. They assem-
BILE together in most places, and
spend the day in giving thanks to
the Great Giver of all good, for the
manifold bounties bestowed by him
on us.
But there is another great day
that returns year after year, and it
seems to me that it means a great
deal more to us than Thanksgiving
Day. Thanksgiving Day was set by
the people, and we love to see its
yearly return. The other day that |
speak of was set in the councils. of
eternity, and it seems to me that we
may easily see which of these days
means the most to the human race.
| speak of the day on which the Son
of God made his advent into this
world.
+ One is pretty generally observed
as it should be; the other, the most
important of the two,-is shameful
ly abused. ask the public to stop
one moment and think seriously of
the way Christmas is generally cele-
brated in this country, and after we
have watched the thing closely what
do we find? Drunkenness, reveling,
swearing, fisticuffs and sometimes
murder. 1t seems presumptious for
common country clod-hopper to
speak thus of a people who stand
near the head of the list of nations for
intelligence, refinement, religion and
christian institutions We build fine
well finished churche s; we send mis-
sionaries 20 heather lands to chris
tianize those who don know or never
heard of Jesus, or his birth, but we
who have all of this noble intelli-
gence, who know that Christ came
and know why he come; who know
that we must be saved if saved at all
through his birth, humiliation and
ldeath. Still we celebrate the day of
his coming by ordering jug, get
ting drunk, fighting and sometimes
numbering each other.
| Not all celebrate the coming OF
lChrist IN the manner | have desert

and the shameful part of it is, lots OF
people who are members of the diff
lerent christian churches, celebrate
| the day in the manner l have de-
Iscribed.

| have set it down above, because ]

toll, put l confess to my shame that

revellings, thus giving them encour-
agement by my presence, after | had

shamed of it now, and if all the
church members would put a cold
shoulder to the Christmas jug bus
mess, the present way of celebrating
the birth of the meek and lowly
lChrist would cease to be carried out,
and the world would soon feel a
greater and nobler reverence for the
Savior's coming and the religion of
Christ would be greatly advanced.
