Kinds County Gazette-It seems
that some state officials think the pub
lie has grown tired of reading in
terviews with reference to depositor-

this and other questions, but we be-
l1eve that people who read would rath-
er have furnished something else for
while. There is no need for jealously
for If the duties of the different Off
GERS are faithfully discharged, their
constituents will very likely find it
out.
Just think of full grown men whom
the people have honored by electing
them to important offices, getting mad
because every body else don't agree
with them and trying to appease their
righteous and exalted indignation by
calling each other names. "Pueerile
Sputterirg" and little men In great
places" are some of the expressions

resign the place and permit them to
elect some one who could serve them
as they deserved to be served"
The foregoing structures were occa-
stoned by Governor Noel's endeavor
to belittle the office of state treasurer
and magnify his own Importance. In
the many controversies in which the
governor has engaged he has invrai-
ably emerged therefrom loser, but
as his propensity is to butt in" when
ever an opportunity offers we are not
surprised at his loss of prestige and
influence. His friends ought to inter-
fere and keep him out of print.

Edwards and Governor Noel seem to

He appears to be afraid, unless he
keeps constantly in print, that small
portion of his greatness will be miss
ed by the people. He started in his
career as governor by antagonizing
the treasurer and it appears that he
intends keeping it up until the close
of his term which most Mississippians
regret is SO long Off.

when the election of Edwards was &C.

The spectacle of two high state off
Gals engaged in almost constant
squabbling and personal recrimination
is not elevating, to say the least of
1t. The trouble with both of these
distinguished gentlemen, is that they
are entirely too quick to take offense.
AS far as the public knows, the dis
agreement between Edwards and Noel
is not of sufficient gravity to establish
permanent ill-will between them and
the quarrel doesn't rise to the dignity
OF small-boy scraps over tops and
marbles. Under the law, there is no
reason for clash of authority. Each
has his official functions to perform
and neither should trespass upon the
rights and powers of the other.

Wrong Estimate Of Success.

DR. Eliot, lately president of Harv-

ception in New York: MY career ap-
pears to strike considerable number
of people as a successful one. People
congratulate me on what they call my
success. But my career has certainly
not been successful In what Is consid-
cred to be the American idea of sue
cess in pecuniary way. 1t is sue
cess in terms of service-service to
the community. Now. does not this
refute the common opinion that the
American estimate cf success is pc
cuniary one?" Dr. Eliot then related
an incident In one of his travels by
boat when the vessels officers came to
him and said: I'VE officers want to
ask you question. We know you are
smart man. We want to know why,
being smart man, you are not rich?"
DR.. Eliot did not repeat his reply, but
concluded his remarks on the subject
by saying: The real American esti-
mate of success In the world is serv.
