JUNGLE ANSE" PLANNING.

Advices from Washington state
that United States Senator A. J.
McLaurin intends to devote a good
portion of his time after the adjourn
ment of congress to mingling with
his constituents; that he will leave
the national capitol Immediately af-
ter consideration of the tariff bill is
finished, and has already made a
number of engagements to deliver
addresses in the state during the
summer.
This is not surprising in view of
the fact that Uncle Anse" is slated
for a very warm fight to retain his
seat in the upper body, and, while
it is two years until that event takes
place, he does not intend to allow
his opponent, ex Gov. Vardaman, an
opportunity to garner in any votes
unless the aforesaid "Uncle Anse''
knows exactly where they are garn-
cred, and the whyness of the
garnering.
According to Senator McLaurin's
friends, he has no purpose or desire
to open the campaign two years in
advance of the election, but at the
same time he believes that poll
ticians, like farmers, should keep
their fences constantly in repair,
and if there have been any breaks
in his political fields during the
present session of congress he
wants to know it.
Ex-Gov. Vardaman has apparent
been paying very little attention to
his prospective senatorial contest
recently. He is spending a good
portion of his time outside the state
filling engagements on the chau-
tauqua lecture circuits, and at the
same time hustling up sufficient
coin to pay the expenses of what
promises to be even a more memora-
BILE campaign than the Vardaman-
Williams affair two years ago.

If there was ever a time when the
University of Mississippi deserved
to be called "a school for the sons of
rich men, that time has passed
never to return. It is an institution
where the sons of men of moderate
means can go, where deserving boys
who have no means with which to
pay for an education can, by honest
labor, pay their way, and the prin-
cipals of absolute equality prevail.
In his efforts to make this Universe
ty a democratic institution, Chan
cellor KincanDon deserved to be
congratulated.

It would be a pleasant vacation,
as we'll as beneficial, if our police
force would while away some OF
these sultry Sunday afternoons en-
forcing the Sunday ordinance, pinch
ing the bum restaurants and dives
that sell dope and merchandise, in
stead of a~rresting the minor ofensee
while the more serious are unnotic-
ed. We are afraid they cannot com
prehend the meaning and principle
embraced in the word consistency.
Either do your duty and enforce
all the laws, or pull down all the
ropes and be parasites upon the city

KEEPING APACt WIN GREENWOOD.

The Commonwealth has its pur-
pose. 1t is to keep apace with
Greenwood's growth and prosperity,
and to exert every possible effort to
give this city the paper she desesves
and to serve as a potent factor in
the material upbuilding of Green
wood.
Up to this week we have been
giving our patrons a four-page home
print. They have been SO apprec
iative as to crowd us a little with
advertisements; so in order to do
justice to both the advertising and
news items, we have added two
pages of home print and two pages
of patent. However, the subscrip-
ton, l.5O the year, remains the
same.
All we ask, all that we can ask, is
that you continue to give US the
proper share of your generous pat
ronage in the way of advertising,
job work and subscriptions. We
r exerting every effort and making
extra expenditures to give you a
better paper than you have had be,
fore. Greenwood deserves it.
Our social, personal, local, editor
ial and news columns are yours, and
we appreciate your willingness tc
furnish US with newsy items, and fiji
news shall always be given proper
space. Cooperation on your part is
the inspiration needed to give you
the paper that will please you.
Stick to US, work with US, and you
will get a paper of which you will
have just reasons to feel proud.
