We have criticised the Com
mercial Appeal considerably in
the past and we are glad to COM
mend something it says. The OPP
portunity comes in applauding its
efforts to bring redhanded MUIR
derers to something like justice.
We sincerely trust that it will be
able to awaken the public con
science to the enormity of the
crime of taking human life. Life
is sacred God given heritage and
the practice Of snuffing it out
as one would a candle can only
be stopped By prompt punishment.

The Jackson Evening News is
using every effort to defeat the
work of the enforcement league of
that city. The News is making a
great mistake in catering to the
lower elements of society. The
newspaper should always use its
influence to elevate, never to de-
grade. The work of degradation
through such a medium is re-
proach on the journalistic profess
sion.

A Magazine In Bad Shape.

Uncle Remus Magaz ne is now
edited by Julian Harris, son of
the author of fhe "Brer Rabbit"
series. This son is conducting
the magazine down hill with ac-
celebrating rapidity, by advocating
the policy of the southern people
renouncing their political faith,
their ideals of life and turning to
the Republican party. In effect
this man Harris wants the people
of the south to barter their birth
right for a mess of political pot
tage. A more contemplate and
degrading proposition was never
made to any people and it insults
the intelligence and patriotism of
this section SO grossly that it is
impossible to find language to
properly characterize its baseness.

JOHNSON, JOHNSON AND JOHNSON

Jim Johnson has formerly announced
himself as candidate for the republican
congressional nomination. CA. Johnson's
friends will now have an opportunity to re-
turn the support(?- that Jim gave the re-
publican gubernatorial nominee last fall.
And they will undoubtedly do it-With
usury-Souris Republican.
This is about as true as Editor Matt
Johnson gets things. ! 1t is we'll known
that before the primaries James Johnson
who was closely allied with the Progressive
movement in Ward county did not entirely
sylnpathize with c. A. Johnson's position,
who was stalwart, but after James John
son had been elected chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Committee, he
gave c. A. Johnson, the Republican guber-
Material candidate his honest support, be-
ing true blue republican, ca. Johnson's
defeat cannot be laid at Jim Johnson's door.
Why not be honest, Bro. Matt Johnson?
If you have a favorite Congressional can
didate, you cannot further his chances by
making base insinuations.
