cal schools is not keeping pace with
the church membership of a CROWN g
country. Many suggestions have been
made how to remedy this lack of in
terest in the profession of divinity.
The latest solution of the problem how
to get more ministers is offered by
Mrs. Mulleneaux at the triennial con-
vention of Congregational churches,
and that is that women should be ad-
mitted to the pulpit in large numbers
To the profane eyes this appears to be
a poor solution, and does not go to
the root of he real trouble. In this
age of commercialism and obstenta-
tious living the monetary compensa-
ton of the ministry is not equal to
that of other professions, and young
men see but poor returns ahead of
them if they intend to take up divin-
ity as their calling. The addition of
few hundred or of few thousand
women to the profession will not help
matters in the least, except to still
further reduce the number of church
goers.-Natchez News.

Circulation Double That of Any

William ]. Bryan is advising young
men to "go into politics" He thinks
the tariff issue will revolutionize the
political sentiment of many a congress
sional district, and that now is the time
for the young man to come to the
front and 'owl the old member of the
roost." 1t might be good thing for
the country to have some new blood
in Congress; unquestionably it would
be IL 1t was young, pure and good
blood; but the path of politics is du-
bious and doubtful road for a young
man to travel. II he escapes its pit
falls, dangers and Disappointment and
meets with success along the way,
even then, more often than otherwise,
its honors turn to ashes on the lips.

hood, II would like to be President of
the United States, that might be able
to reward my friends and punish my
enemies" Later in life he became
President of the United States, and
being reminded of what he had said,
replied, "The friends loved most have
passed away; as for my enemies,
find no sweetness in revenge; it is nv

GINGERBREAD MAN
Z IS ENTERTAINING
Bright and TunefuI and With Plenty
Of the 20, You Kid" EIe-
ment Included.

Bright, tuneful and full of fantastic
merriment, such as appeals to both
old and young is THE Gingerbread
Man." Frederick Rankin and A. Bald
win Sloan's festive musical comedy.
which was presented at the Audito-
rum last evening. 1.-THE Gingerbread
Man" is as good name for the pro-
duction as any other would be, al
though the Gingerbread man himself
in actual fact constitutes but a small
part of the tout ensemble. 1t is a mu-
steal comedy like most of it's sort, in
that it is guiltless of any plot. 1t is
merely a phantasm which serves to
introduce some pretty and tuneful mu-
sic, some fantastic gymnastics, some
Jokes. old and new, some witty re-.
partee. and chorus of shapely girls,
some Of whom are fairly pretty.
THE Gingerbread Man" serves the
purpose for which it was written, i. e.,
it entertains for the time being and
it is real good entertainment of its
kind. ,s,.
There are some very good singing
voices in the company. notably those
of Garrick Major. who enacted the
role of Machavalius Fudge, desler
in the black art. who possesses a rich
baritone; Helen Keers, a contralto,
whose low notes are very good indeed.
and Inez Girard, "Mazie Bon Bon,"
who has a soprano of better than the
average quality.
The principal fun-makers are Wally
Helston, as the Gingerbread Man:
Ross Snow, as Wondrous Wise; En-.
nett O'Connor, as the fairy queen and
Rose Murray, as Margery Daw. The
last named, who takes the soubrette
part, is petite, pretty and is really the
best part of the show. The most tune
ful melodies are Beautiful Land of
Bon Bon" and Moon, Moon"
THE Gingerbread Man" will be vel
coined to Hattiesburg should it come
again.

that Gov. Vardaman is the most pop

growing all the time in popularity and
public esteem. He is just as sure to
be the next U. S. Senator if he lives
until election day as the sun is to rise

THE disgrace of some Northern
State occasionally is no reason why
any Southern State should be one
whit less disposed to stamp out lynch
law within its own borders. We feel
nothing but sympathy for Illinois. 1t
can at least be said that the Cairo
mob, in clamoring for the negro pris-
oner's blood. had extreme provoca-
ton, and that the white prisoner on
another charge. was sacrificed to the
