We believe that this sheet is as
fully committed to hostility to the
European Sabbath idea which has
been worming it's way into America
for several decades, as our friend
Thigpen of the Bay Springs News,
but we confess that we quite dis
agree with him as to Ice deliveries
and sales on the Christian Sabbath.
This is one of the necessities in this
day of pipe water drinking, and it
would be an unreasonable demand
to exact abstinence from people in
moderate circumstances who have
no facilities for carrying it over and
have to depend upon the vendor for
daily supplies. The Statute books
of Mississippi wisely recognizes this
and makes ii one of the excepted
commodities In the Chapter pro
scribing Sunday-selling. Nothing
is ever gained by too rabid ranting
for any principle, Christ rebuked
the Priestly class in his day for
essaying to condemn his companions
gathering a little corn (wheaD as
they footsore and hungry were
passing through a field on the Sab
bath. His declaration there and then
is one of the keys to correct under
standing of all questions growing
out of the Sabbath observance, viz:
THE Sabbath is made for man. ~
That is all we advocates of keeping
it's sacredness inviolate need fight
for, merely its being kept in such
way as will make it blessing and
refreshing to man and not gala
day or fast-day either. We can find
days for both of these in our Nation
al Calendar without going to either
extreme and pressing in the day
sanctifed by the Son of Heaven S
Resurrection and Ascension, and
which abrogated or superseded the
seventh day kept in commemoration
of a lesser event, that is the Creation
of the world. The earth's Redemption
was grander event in the calendar of
Heaven, hence the change to the
first day of the week by the early
Christian church.

Why Do The Children Love You?

as we look at some families where
the children seem to just worship
their parents and again we see 9th
ers where the children seem to think
more of everybody else than they do
of their parents, and we pause and
exclaim why is it? Parents do you
wish for your children to love and
respect you? If you do, when your
child comes to you for advice be sure
to give good ADVICE; don't say, "Oh,
60 way, don't bother me, go ask
your mother, " or some such answer.
Or If they come to their mother per-
haps she says, Go to your father,
| am busy" The child will soon get
afraid to ask for advice for fear Of
being rebuked and it will be apt to
seek advice some where else. If YOU
take an interest in your children then
they will take an interest in you.
We have seen little children while
running at play, or perhaps on an
errand for their parents, get a fall
and bump a head or skin a finger,
and when they would go to their
parents for a kind word of comfort
they would say: "Well, next time
look where you are going and don
be so awkward; go long now and
hush. That child will certainly
find out sooner or later that its par
ents have no love or sympathy for it,
and it will grow up without any kind
feeling toward that parent. But on
the other hand let the child come to
the parents for advice, ard if kind
words are spoken the child will new
er forget it, and will always look
with respect on thai pareat. IT the
little child gets a bump or fall, or a
cut or a skinned finger, mother will
say: Come to your mother and let
her pet yon, and she will kiss the
bumped head and wrap UP the hurt
finger, with few kind words. Then
the child knows you love it, and it
will love and always respect you, and
when the years have passed and
gone and they have grown to man
hood and womanhood they will look
back to their childhood days as the
happiett days of their lives.
A word of comfort kindly spoken,
Will many moment cheer:
A word of scorn to a heart that's
broken,
Will cause grief for many year,
Hard thought it be to love those
who hate you, it is harder still to
kate those who love YOU.

Home Influences.

We may laugh at the manly ways
of our boys, and make merry over
their attempts to copy our own ac-
tons, but when we reflect that,
with the manners of childhood, they
have lost it's innocence, our laughter
will at once yield to bitter tears,
The precocious dissipation and vice
of our youth is a frequent theme of
the preacher and moralist, and is one
worthy of all their efforts. There is
something more required, however,
than the sermon and the lecture;
this something more is the influence
of home, and we must contrive some

done nothing worse than those edi-

through advertisements published in
their papers, scattering these adver

Some fellow up about State Line
sends us marked copy of the APP
pea-to- Reason, and addresses us as
Herald. Notice the two RS. The
portion of that enthusiastically vomlt-
ing sheet, which he marked, was "a
bout three columns devoted to bera-
ting the post-office department for
threatening to suppress it. That
paper ought to be suppressed, in fact
it should have been denied the privi-
Iege of the mail long ago by a gov
eminent which receives nothing but
kicks and cuffs at its hands. The APP
peal to-ReasOn is the expression for
that element of humsn discomfort
that has been i'm ported from Europe
and is there known under the name
of Nihilism, but in this country as
Socialism, a softer term, but both
opposed at LAST 10 any real stable
form of government if the truth were
but acknowledged. Socialism is from
its best side but a vain idealism in
capable of realization; from its worse
side destructive of all existing forms
under which society is organized and
held together, and supplying nothing
as good to take the place thereof. So
many people are uniformed about
the various tests and experiences the
human race has been subjected in
working out the present admitted i'm
perfect governmental machinery. If
the same time spent reading the vain
vapOrizings of such papers as the one
under criticism we're put in by such
people as our friend, studying polite
al history ancient medieval and pre-
sent, he would be enabled to see how
much has been accomplished in the
right direction, and how the falla-
cies of Socialism were long ago eX-
ploded. It's the constructionist and
not the destructionist who bequeaths
something to his fellows in the way
of governmental solution.

AQrltt.
Inn activity has there been more
progress during the last twenty years
than that of the country newspaper.
There are now hundreds of country
papers which, in editorial ability, me-
chanical appearance, and all that
contributes to inspire respect and
command attention are fully abreast
of their metropolitan contemporaries
in moral tone, and often IN editorials
they surpass most of the great dali
les. In times past the country eqi
tor was quite generally regarded with
a half pitying contempt as a good
natured but chicken hearted chron-
icler of inconsequential locals. All OF
this has changed. Country newspa-
pers. as a class, WELD the mightiest
Influence in the nation. The editors
are men of character and enterprise,
doing more for the community for
less money than any other body of
workers.

Punish The InquisitionerS.


Clarion-Ledger.
No paper in the United States,
whatever its politics, should ever
forgive the Senators who have insis-
ted upon putting high tariff on
wood pulp and the articles that enter
into the manufacture of newspaper.
The House lowered the duty from Sc
to 50 per ton. The Senate declined
to accept the House reduction, and
in conference has refused to accept a
rate less than $3.50. Every Senator
voting to keep this rate up should
be marked for life by the press of the
country.

The question of how to dispose OF
the Old Capitol and grounds at
Jackson, is exercising the public
considerably just now, as it is hoped
to reach some disposition of at the
session of the Legislature next year.
The economists wing of the Solons,
with A. G. Anderson of Tippah as a
leader advocate selling the old struc-
ture and the plot of land in the IN
terest of progress and using the
money derived thereby to financing
the proposed State Teachers Train
ing School. Another plan suggested
is to turn the property over to the
City of Jackson to be converted into
Park in trust for the State until
called for return. Still another plan
has been advanced, this by Maj. r.
w. Millsaps, that the old building
be torn down and the material sold
and the grounds converted into a
State Memorial Park, with special
emphasis to Confederate matters,
and the Major literally offers a
$4,000 subscription himself to that
end. Out of all the schemes in the
air surely some agreement can be
reached for the disposal of this old
relict of glorious past, for its pres
ent dilapidated condition is a refec-
ton on the city OF Jackson and the
State of Mississippi. Of the plans
proposed we favor most the last
named, as the second one is merely
an expediency measure and the first
one an economic one, while the last
is purely sentimental and sensible
measure. That elvation which looks
down on Old Capitol street is a
magnlfcently commanding view and
should not be lost to the State if
agreement can be reached to some
end for its retention. As the new
capitol is rapidly crowding it might
be found later on. should this spot
hal,owed with many sacred historic
memories, be transformed into a
Memorial Park, to transfer from
the new Capitol the offices of the
Hall of Fame and Historical Arch
ives, as what better and more
appropriate place could be found to
erect the administration buildings
for this department of state, than
the very spot dedicated to outward
~ express Mississippi's and her
citizens achievements.
