The White Mans Burden.

"Such practice school presents
the white mans burden in its most
concrete form, with all of the diff
culties and all of the inspiring oppor-
tunities presented by this world edu-
cation movement of our time" he ad-
ded. There in Alaska the school
physician and the school nurse are
now going up and down, helping the
people in their sickness and teaching
them how to live clean and whole
some lives. The girls are learning to
cook and to sew and to make good
homes. The boys are learning to earn
an honest livelihood under their new
conditions by new industrial pursuits,
by the raising of reindeer, by i'm
proved fishing, gardening and the use
of common tools. They are learning
something of the white mans wisdom
and the white mans better aims in
life, which shall help them in their
new relations with the white man as
their neighbor and fellow laborer."

What Is Needed.

formation as will lead to the improve
ment of school buildings In a coun-
try which is spending S73,000,000 a
year for the construction, equipment
and repair of its buildings for school
purposes, such information as would
lead to the saving of only one per
cent on this expenditure would cause
an aggregate annual saving OF $780,

pupils which can be accomplished
through more hygienic construction is
an incomparably greater concern.
in a thousand ways the improve
ment of health through education is
now under way. An agency which,
through the gentle force of clear in
formation can bring these ways into
unison and prevent the waste of mis-
directed efforts will prove itself ma

Jackson Miss, July THE new
trustees will not take up the fight
against Greek letter fraternities with
a view to suppressing these socie-
ties. This statement was made by a
member of the new board after the
| recent meeting in this city, and seems
| to be the sentiment of the seven men
who will control the educational in
situations of the state for the next
six years.
The matter is coming before the
new board, just as. did the removal of
Prof Smith to Stonewall Experiment
Station, but it is not probable it will
be given serious consideration. In
| fact, this member of the board said
the new trustees could not act on the
Smith matter nor the frats without
rejoicing on the former trustees of
the A. & M. College in the first case
and the legislature in the second, and
that the board was selected to handle
a business and not determine petty
fights among the students of friends
of the facuIty
"The president OF the A. & M. and
I. I. & c. ana chancellor of the Uni

UNISON rNsUREs STRENGTH

Credit should be given to Can
didate Hawley for the enunciation
of at least one great truth in the
present campaign. He said-"If J
am to carry out reforms, / will need
the assistance and advice of those
who are in sympathy with me-" Mr.
Hawley was referring to the various
boards which conduct the business
of the state, and he clearly, although
perhaps unconsciously, emphasized
one of the difficulties with which Gov
ernor Brady has had to contend thru
not having all of the members of
the State Land Board in sympathy
with his efforts to conduct that boarl
in straightforward and business
like manner.
What is true of the various state
boards is equally true of the legisla-
ture. When the governor and the
legislature are not in sypmathy. re-
forms are impossible of accomplish
ment-and it is seldom that SYM
pathy exists between a governor and
a legislature of opposing political
faiths. The opportunity to play pol
itics is seldom overlooked and the
game of Putting the Governor IN
a hole" is one much enjoyed by the
average legislature who happens 70
differ from the executive in politi-
cal views
The election of Governor Brady is
almost a foregone conclusion. He IS
entitled to it on his record and on
the pledges of the republican plat
form. It is. therefore, essential that
he should be supported by republi-
can legislature. and Elmore County
should not fail to get into the band
wagon.
Worth Lee for the senate and
John owen for the house are both
men well-ftted in every way to rep
resent Gilmore County in the legis-
lature. They are men of large affairs
and of unusual ability. They pos
sess the proper address and are men
who will quickly stamp their per-
sonality upon the men whom they
will meet from all sections of the
state, and they will insure to Gilmore
County the proper recognition in the
legislature which it deserves, and
which, regrettably, it has not often
enjoyed in the past.

Both Mr. Miller and Mr.. SHELTON
have devoted great deal of time to
the county's interests. They have

road work done has been gratifying
TO the taxpayers. They believe in per

and all the work has been done with
that end in view.
They have been watchful of the
county funds, and, while they arc
progressive in every sense of the
word, they believe that county OK
penditures should be consistent with
county resources. Under this policy
money has been expended where the
most good could be accomplished {:
and today the credit of the county
is the best in its history and its in
debtedness is the lowest.
In private life such good service
would promptly be recognized. and
the best recognition in public life is

WE APOLOGIZE.

Last week the Maverick published
an article to the effect that because
Of Secretary of State Lansdon's re-
fusal to certify the nomination Of
the socialist ticket, that party would
give its support to the republican
nominees, and Eugene " Debs and
other socialist leaders would cam-
paign in Idaho in the interest of the
republican ticket. This same article
was published generally throughout
the state and this paper had every
reason to believe in its authenticity.
Apparently, however, there was no
foundation for the story. At any rate,
the local socialist organization re-
sented its publication and has adopt
d resolutions denouncing it; to which
resolutions space is cheerfully Civ
en- in this issue.
BY way of parenthesis, it might be
said that the socialists could do far
worse than support the candidates
on the republican state and county
tickets Perhaps. however, that would
be too much to expect from an or
ganization which is so wrapped up in
theories that it is constantly over
looking practicable means through
which there might be some hope of
putting those theories into effect.

HITTING FROM THE SHOULDER

AS Governor Brady warns up to
his campaign work he is SCATTERING
the hopes of those who. knowing that
there is nothing in the Governors
record as chief executive which can
not bear the closest scrutiny. have
thought to blind the voters to the
real facts by innuendo and indirect
charges.
It is notable fact that candidate
Hawley has not attacked the Govern
or's private of official record, and the
natural conclusion is that there are
no grounds upon which he can do
so. 1t may be assumed that the dem
ocratic managers would pounce with
avidity upon the slightest flaw in
the Governors record and endeav-
or to make good campaign material
out of it.
True, criticism has been leveled
at the state land board but no act
of the Governors can even in the
slightest degree be construed as con-
trary to the constitution of the state
or the interests Of he people 1t Is
pretty generally understood that the
governor is merely a member of the
land board, and as such cannot con-
troll its action Two OF the members
of the present board had served p
term prior to the governors election,
and were firmly entrenched in their
positions One of these members. Sec
rotary of State Lansdon. has, appar-
emily, been trying to furnish ammuni-
ton to the opposition. HE opposed
Governor Brady in the primaries AMI
has carried his fight into the gener-
al election-not an open fight, but
a back-door alliance with the demo-
Gratis. This is the usual undetermined
methods Of the discredited politi-
elan.
In marked contrast is Governor
Brady's telling and uneQuiyocal ar
raignment of Bob Lansdon. TIE has
pointed out clearly and in no UNI
certain terms how the Secretary OF
state has, during his two terms in or
fee. risen from comparatively penury
10 affluence, and makes no bones of
the generally accredited fact that
Lansdon has profted through his Of
fee and has manipulated land board
matters with a view to his personal
gain rather than to the public int -
est.
Fortunately the people were pref
tly well appraised of the situation be-
fore Governor Brady took a hand IN
showing up the gist of the insinua-
lions against him. but it is encour-
aging to note his fearlessness in ex-
posing the methods Of Lansdon and
his democratic allies.
