THE FLYING CRAZE.

Wilbur Wright has lifted burden
from the minds of men. He says the
world is not going crazy over flying
machines; that they will pass from
common popularity as quickly as did
the racing bicycle-along the line of
his reasoning, We believe quicker from
pecuniary reasons-and that a monop-
oily is essential to any material con-
tinuation of the flying machines de-
velopment. Mr.. Wright declares that
within two years the excitement and
enthusiasm over flying machines will
begin to lull, and the inventor will
find himself up against a problem of
keeping up public interest. He sees
in the present condition of affairs an
absence of security which would bring
the sporting element of the world suf-

Jackson, Miss, April 21--Acting

ranted an interference with the in.
dividual liberty and personal
rights" of the gentlemanly guzzler.
And from that day to this, The News
is Informed, and upon authority our
Jackson contemporary we take it
will have some trouble to impeach,
James K. Vardaman has been a
valiant and consistent fighter in the
ranks of the crusaders against the
liquor traffic.
If Mr.. Percy, whose cause the Jack
son News will champion, unless there
are others in the field will thrown
down that gauntlet to Mr. Vardaman,
we warrant he will take it up. If Mr..
Percy will raise the question of who
has been the best friend to temper
ance legislation, and who is the best
friend to temperance legislation and
who, if he is sent to the Federal Sen
ate will be the best friend not
half-hearted, lukewarm friend, but
the best fighting friend for temper
ance legislation, we warrant Mr.. Var
daman will defend his title to the
championship over the Hon. Leroy
Percy.
Our contemporary recites that in
1903 Gov. Vardaman went on record
as being an advocate of local option
That was before the cause of state
wide prohibition was ripe. That was
before it's best friends were ready to
make it a state issue. Charles B.
Galloway, to whom, more than any
other one man, Mississippi owes its
present state law, was local option
list back in 1908. And without know
ing his record at all, we hazard the
guess that the Hon. c. H. Alexander
who our Jackson contemporary says
framed the present law" was a local
optionist in 1908. There were indeed
no state-widers, or few if any, in 1908.
We were all local optionists then, ex-
cept those who are local optionists
now; they were in the whiskey ranks
them they are in the whiskey ranks
now.

question at some length.

If the statement made by this paper
is "emphatically untrue" then we
thank our contemporary for the saw
ing clause, that the editor, being a
newcomer, has been honestly de-
ceived." If We have been deceived
upon that point, however, it has not
been entirely due to representations
made by Gov. Vardaman's friends.
More than one of Gov Vardaman's
bitter political enemies has admit
ted his services to the temperance
cause, and extolled that as his one
redeeming virtue. Others still have
admitted it, doing him the scant JUS
tice at the same time to attribute it
to his "demagogism." So if this

Out of twenty thousand people liv-
. ing In Hattiesburg, making their liv-
ing out of Hattiesburg, how many will
attend the meeting at the court house
tonight to consider one of the most
important questions that can be pre-
scented for their consideration:-The
Educational Interests of Hattiesburg.
One of Hattiesburg's main school
buildings has been condemned and its
occupancy abandoned. Is it going to
stand there condemned and aban-
doned? Are you going to patch it up,
prop 1t ps, tie it together and risk it
again? Or do you want a new build
ing?
The Mayor and councilmen want to
give Hattiesburg what the people
want. That is what public servants
are for, and that is what they ought
to do. They want the people to come
out tonight and indicate to them in a
general way what they want. What
they think is best, under all the cir
cumstances, to have done.
Then, too, they want to talk about
the State Normal; what it is, what
1t means, and what Hattiesburg is 60
ing to do to get it. The News has
said over and over again and will re-
peat, that this Normal School is the
biggest thing Hattiesburg has ever in
all its history had chance at, or will
have a chance at in the near future.

Hattiesburg than anything that Hat

fourth annual meeting of the Confer

program includes addresses by teach

Since the last annual meeting in
Austin, March 81, 1909, the Confer

pressing the cause of better schools.
1t has given much attention to the
development of public sentiment ia
vorable to better local support and
cooperation for the common schools ::
it has distributed widely bulletins
containing valuable information as to
educational conditions and needs; il
was influential in placing before the
voters of the state the merits of the
constitutional amendments adopted
in the August election of 1909 which
validated the bonded Indebtedness OF
the school districts of Texas and au.
thorized the formation of county line

women into the community, whose
precept and example would arouse
ambition in others. And last but not

bring a billion dollars into Hatties-

Indeed it is passing strange that the
intelligent, thoughtful citizenship of
Hattiesburg is seemingly so little con-

this. We hope the meeting this eve

discussion will be general, and that

work to secure if possible the location
