THAT WASH
INGTON VISIT.
FEDERAL OFFICIALS NOW IN OFFICE IN
THIS STATE WHO DESIRE TO RETAIN
THEIR OFFICES MAY DO so.
NO RUPTURE IN RANKS.

The party of a dozen or more
federal officials and postmasters
who left here for the national
capital one week ago are expect
ed to return home Monday morn
ing.
The Mississippi delegation was
headed by Messrs. l.. B. Moseley
and F. w. Collias, federal pat
ronage referees for the state,
and during their weeks stay in
Washington several press dis
patches were sent out to the eff
feet that friction was being man
ifested, and that a fight was inn
minent between Messrs. Moseley
and Collins and Hon. Edgar S.
Wilson, United States marshal,
for the control of patronage for
this state.
Mr.. Wilson has been back
from his Washington trip for
several days. He politely but
firmly declines to discuss political
matters in any way whatsoever,
and even declines to say wheth-
er he is an applicant for reap
pointment to his present posi-
ton.
From inside sources, however,
it is learned that the talk of fric-
ton on the subject of patronage
disposal has been greatly magni-
fed. There has been no open
rupture among the federal Off
cials in this state, and it can be
safely asserted that all of the Of
ficials who desire to retain their
present positions may. do SO for
the asking; that President Taft
does not contemplate any radical
changes in the method of dis
pensing patronage; that Messrs,
Moseley and Collins, represent
ing the regular republican organ
ization, will continue to be his
principal advisers; that the pres
ident does not intend to consult
Governor Noel concerning any
appointments, large or small;
that any consultations between
President Taft and members of
congress from this state relative
to patronage will be merely for
the purpose of ascertaining
whether certain appointments
will be Objectionable to the peo-
pie, and the president will not
feel obligated to accept the ad-
vice of Mississippi's representa-
tives in congress.
In brief, the present patron
age system is to be retained by
the Taft administration. jack

IRENE EDWARDS
CALLED AWAY
YOUNG LADY OF FIFTEEN YEARS DIES
AT AN EARLY HOUR SUNDAY
MORNING IN HOSPITAL
WAS SICK ONLY A WEEK

The community was shocked
on Sunday morning to hear of
the sudden death from appendi-
citis of this sweet young girl,
who on the End of this month
celebrated her 18th birthday.
She was the youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Edwards,
who moved to Columbus several
years ago from Itta Bena, to take
advantage of the schools of this
city.
She united with the Methodist
church at Itta Bena when very
young, afterwards transferring
her membership to Columbus,
and was a constant attendant at
all of its services-was especially
faithful at Sunday School, Ep-
worth League and prayer meet
ing; taking an active part in all
work assigned to the junior men,
bers of the church.
She was buried from the Meth
odist church on Monday morn
ing at 10:30 o'clock. attended by
a large concourse of sorrowing
friends, Rev. T. w. Lewis con-
Quoting the sad service. Her
school attended in a body and
the different organizations of
which she was a member, were
well represented. The floral Of
ferings were beautiful and elab-
crate.
Those who were associated
with Irene in every day life can
truly say that she was a remark
able child in a great many re-
spects. Her quiet dignity, fine
perceptions, and gentle manners
won for her many friends among
old and young. Her popularity
was shown by the hundreds of
friends who came to see her in
her last sleep and to express
sympathy for the bereaved fam
lily who, while they mourn her
loss, bow to His will who doeth
all things well.
The following friends acted as
pail bearers: Messrs. John Lip
sey, Tom Harris, Robert AL
bright, Will Halsell, E. S. Don
nell, w. J. Oury of Itta Bena,
Brooks MCGOWAN and w. E.
Kennedy.

OPINION EXPRESSED
PINCHOT MUST QUIT

Washington, D. c., Aug. 14.-It is
practically conceded here among the
conservative element that the only
possible elimination of the Ballinger.
Pinchot difficulty will be the forced
resignation of the chief forester. Any
suggestion that Mr.. Ballinger instead
VIII be forced into private life is cast
aside as absurdity.
1t has never been claimed that Mr..
Ballinger has proceeded in opposition
to the Taft idea of things. To the
contrary, the president has taken
more than one occasion to express his
approval of the Ballinger idea of con.
servation according to the law. While
the entire dispute so far has been alto
getnT between Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.,
Plnchot. it is the common opinion here
that Mr.. Ballinger is in a position to
gracefully withdraw at any time. and
IN that event Mr.. Pinchot would find
himself face to face with the fact that
instead OF assailing Mr.. Ballinger he
has all the time been passing criti.
clsm upon the chief executive of the
nation. 1t is not thought probable
that anything of a definite nature will
occur until the president leaves for
the West. 1t is predicted that Mr.. Taft
will postpone any action until he
reaches Seattle or some other West
ern city where he can confer with Mr..
Ball1nger, and that shortly thereafter
Mr.. Pinchot will retire to some of his
tall timber.

EDITORS SAY ALASKA
IS A GREAT COUNTRY

Seattle, Wahs., Aug. 14.-With
party of 1874 members of the
National Editorial Association, who
had completed an excursion of 1000
miles to Southwestern Alaska, as far
as Port Graham and return, the Alas
ka Steamship Company's liner North
western, Capt. A. Croskey, arrived
shortly after 10 o'clock Thursday
night. The Alaska trip, arranged
through the Seattle Press club, con-
cluded the annual convention, bust
ness sessions of which were held in
Seattle late in July.
Speaking the declared sentiment of
every member of the editorial party,
B. B. Herbert, editor of the Printer
Journalist, of Chicago, founder and
first president of the national organi-
cation of editors, said upon landing:
Most of us went to Alaska for the
purpose of sympathizing with the res
idents of that Northern region over
the hardships imagined in their exist
ence. Returning, We are positive that
the country presents possibilities not
excelled on earth. We found at Sew
ard a. half-acre garden from which a
ScOtchman had this season sold $500
worth of vegetables. At Ketchikan
we saw them taking fish in such
quantities that the canneries were
turning out enough to insure great
revenue. We inspected the Treadwell
mines, on Douglas island, where on
the 1,400-foot level, the rich mineral
deposits grow steadily more valuable;
we saw gold and coal mines being de-
velOped with sureness that is con-
vincing to us all that without other
advantages an empire of wealth is
available in Alaska.
Coupled with the many commercial
surprises met in Alaska, we were re-
called with voyage so magnificent
with scenic features and natures mar
vels that the attention of the world
must surely be attracted there as
new wonderland. No feature has been
more pleasant than the splendid cour-
tesy extended by Capt. Croskey and
his officers, and the generous hospi-
tally extended by citizens of every
community visited"
Supporting the statement of former
President Herbert, Secretary w. F.
Parrott, OF the Waterloo Daily Repor-
ter, spoke enthusiastically of the en-
Joyment that had marked every hour
OF the voyage. He predicts for Alas
ka, through its coal, gold and copper,
fish and wood pulp, a future as one of
the greatest countries in the world.
