aud therefore are glad to have a

SON
Again this much misguided per son
says that The Tribune has two edi-
torial writer's on its staff and pay
roll contributing campaign matter
to the Daily Tribune. This Is far
fetched and far from the truth.
There is only one editor and man
ager in The Tribune office and that
is the person who carries his name
at the editorial masthead of this
paper. We have no one else writing
the political matter for The Tribune
and there Ia no one else ON the pay
roll Of this paper who is doing any
work of this kind. That's another
misstatement nailed.
1t is true In the case Of The Trib.
une that 1t Is with the other papers.
the saloon men have bought space in
this paper and the space is theirs. II
copy pertaining to the saloon issue is
turned iu. we. print it, aud II it ia

matter appears here. But as to two
Republican editors for small daily
like The Tribune, never.
Besides it is doubtful II the party
writing the campaign dope for the
Citizen Is Democrat. He is known.
and the Democrats say that he once
tried to break into the ranks of DEM
ooracy here. but that they 'spewed"
him ont. And neither has he voted
any ticket for forty years as he claims
much less the Democratic ticket; in
fact the contributor is not that old,

of municipal government with its

be made solvent without Gripping the

cities which are solvent.
There are small cities in this and
other states where party lines are not

CHICAGO SAYS TRY IT."

The Commission Plan of City Gov
eminent was in it's inception an
emergency measure. Galveston, bank
rupt by a great disaster, and with
no hope of eXtrication from it's diff
ficulties under fostered incompetent
cy, extravaganza, and corruption,
turned its affairs over to a handful of
men of recognized business ability.
They restored the credit of the city
and put its finances ON a sound foot
ing. Galveston is so well satisfied
with the Commission Plan that it
could not be induce to abandon it.
\ year ago Che.sa, Mass, was
swept ty fire. There was great de-

made homeless. The problem of re-
construction had to be solved. The
citizens turned for relief to the Com
mission Plan. Five men, none of
whom had been in office at the time
of the fire, were picked out and put
in charge of the municipality. AL

fad of promoting Law Enforcement
Leagues.
1t seems to be generally under
stood that the Law Enforcement
League is a branch of the Prohibi-
ton organization in this state. At
any rate, it was not thought of be-
fore the first of this year and the
thought that it is a conception of the
Prohibition element is borne out by
the fact that other and more fragrant
violations of the statutes are ig-
nored by this organization.
We have noted from time to time
that the Governor and, we must add
the circuit court judges, have con-
tracted the habit of declaring that
crime rampant in Mississippi We
wonder how they would feel if news
paper were to print parallel column
repeating their charges against the
state and comparing them with list
of pardons granted by the Governor,
the Lieutenant Governor and the Grim
inal cases in which a nolle prosequi
has been entered with the consent of
the court. 1t must be borne in mind
that a nolle prOsequi cannot be enter
ed without the consent of the court.
Let the Governor who has not
granted a Dardon excoriate the Jurors
who fail to convict and let the cir
cult court judge whose dockets will
not show nolle prosequi travel in
and out of the state speak about
crime being rampant in Mississippi
for then their skirts will be clear OF
the charge that the have set the
law at naught; that they have not
been party to the liberation of a
man charged with crime or setting
aside the verdict of judge and jury.
