THE TOUW COW

There is a city ordinance which pro-
hibits cows from running at large.
Under the beguilements of this law,
property owners remove the fences
from in front of their lawns,
plant ornamental trees or bushes,
make flower beds, pot flowers, and
proceed in many ways to beautify
their premises. Ccnfding in the
makers of the law to employ officers
of the law who will protect their
premises at night according to law"
the lady of the house who has given
so much loving thought and attention
to her yard and flowers, retires at
night to restful slumber. In the
morning she looks out upon her de-
vastated flower garden, her trampled
and torn up yard. Somebody who
was not willing to feed their own COW,
has permitted that COW to feed upon
the flowers of their neighbor; and the
law makers who by the passage Of
this law promised protection under it.,

LARGEST ANY SOUTH MISSISSIPPI PAPER.


The unanimity of sentiment with
which the proposition has been en-
dorsed to erect in Washington City a
monument to the old black nanny of
ante-bellum days, is prophetic of the
success which awaits the effort.
Despite the utilitarianism of the age
in which we live, the impulse to do
things which are not altogether in the
line of sordid money making is still
strong; and even the fiintiest heart
softens toward the unique type of fos-
ter motherhood in whose honor this
monument at the seat of government
is to be reared.
One of the most eloquent tributes
which is now going the rounds of the
press, dedicated to the old black mann
my, is from The New York Sun. In
part it runs thus:
"Al1 Of us, however, can unite upon
the old blach nanny: the millions
who have enjoyed her kindly ministra-
tions and the other and more numer-
Gus millions who have only heard of

WORK IND PLHY

ut is far better for any man to have
to work too hard than that he shall
not have enough to do. Yet the COM
plant of being overworked is oftener
heard than the lament that life is ted
ious and lustreless because of insult
ficient occupation. Some men seem
to relish hard labor; they address
Themselves eagerly to the task before
them as a person who is famished sits
down at last to square meal They
are not content to wait with folded
hands till work IS assigned them;
they are always on the still hunt for
an additional opportunity of service.
They are their own severest taskmas-
tiers, and not eye servants, watching
the clock as they themselves are
watched till the long day is ended and
they can hurry away from the work
bench with impunity. 1t is a fine
thing to see a man at any kind Of
labor who takes an upright pride and
feels a cordial interest in what he is
doing and never thinks he has done
SO well that he cannot do better. A
man hard at work finds that his occu-
patton crowds out of his life many
side issues that are evil. He has no
time for brooding melancholy or
imaginary ailments. He has no time
to indulge morbid sentiments, to nour-
fish in his minds garden the weeds of
destructive passions. He is wholly
engrossed in putting into the world
some finished product of permanent
value, and there is no room in his
scheme of existence for anything that
interferes with the one fixed purpose
Of his life.
A mans work, IL It is worth while,
is always larger than he is. The
breadth and bigness of it expels the
consideration of himself. He can
think Of nothing else, as one runs in a
race thinks Of nothing but the goal.

them. To Southerners, whether we
refer to those still living South or to
the countless thousands who are now
distributed all over the North. the
East and the West, hers is a name to
conjure with. White-aproned, tur-
baned, always devoted and alert, she
nursed a strenuous and proud race
thru the ailments and vicissitudes of
childhood. They went to sleep to
her cradle tales and cants. They
lolled upon her humble, patient breast.
She comforted them in their hours of
infantile affiiction. The Civil war,
with it's dread epilogue of terror,
touched old Nanny not at all. She
was unconsciously sworn to the fam
lily. She performed her simple but
incalculable duty. Few members of
her class survive 1.-The race is surely
dying; but if ever there were heroes
and martyrs who deserved immortal
celebration, the old negro nanny is
among them, and not far from the
head of all the list"

and persuaded the property owner to
dispense with his fence, have not
made good their promise of protection.
By the reinforcement of the law of
their own making, they have injured
the property of the citizen. We sub
init that the law should be enforced
or repealed. So long as it is upon the
statute books, the citizen has a right
to expect protection under it. If they
are not to get that protection, repeal
of the law would give them notice,
and they could then rebuild their
fences and rely upon them for protec-
ton. The law should be enforced
night as well as day. There should
be some arrangement and understand
ing by which when a marauding COW
invades any private premises, or is
seen on the streets, any citizen will
know who to telephone to to come and
make the arrest.
The News stands for LAW EN-
FORCEMENT first, last and all the
time.

Foundation of Government.

Mr.. Alexander stated that the very
foundation of government, of so
ciety and religion rested upon the
unit, the individual who originated
the thought for every issue arising in
church or state and the solution of
which finally went back to and de-
pended upon the point of origin.
He spoke of the sacredness of the
ballot, and said that there was one
form of lynch law in which he be-
lieved. The man who would tamper
with the sacred rights of the individ-
ual to cast his ballot in accordance
with the dictates of his conscience
and who would attempt, by bribery
or intimidation to influence the result
of an election by unfair means, should
be taken in charge by his fellow citi-
zens and made an example of. This,
also. he said, should apply to the man
who could be bought or Influenced in
such manner.

Not a Political Speech.

The speaker explained that he had
not come to Hattiesburg to make a
political speech, to eulogize himself
or to discuss problems of government
He expressed qualification at being
permitted to choose his own subject
for a short discussion, and explained
that while many would think the sub
ject which he had selected an inap-
propriate one for such an occasion,
he would endeavor to make his points
fit the case in hand. The topic for
his address was Units

in forming result. There was bound
to be a beginning to the solution of
every problem, and the starting point
was with the unit.
He explained that when the State
of Georgia ceded to the Federal gov
eminent the territory which now
forms the state of Mississippi, it was
with the express agreement that this
territory should be converted into a
State, which was to be unit OF the
Federal government. The first pio-
neer who settled on this territory

| ing aviators of the world because
they worked most of the time, in
stead of talking about work They
were undaunted by failure. They did
not scatter their energies in several
lines of effort, but they did Just one
thing, and so they succeeded. The
man who first climbed the Matterhorn
kept on trying after seven failures.
Gore, the blind Senator from Oklahoma
realized his ambition because, helped
by his wife, he was determined to win
in spite of his handicap. Edison had
the brain of a great inventor, but
some of his results were due as much
to perspiration as to inspiration. His
wonderful achievements were not the
fruition of casual effort or happy ac-
cident; he worked without reference
to office hours, and he finally got what
he was after. Some persons who have
envied Carnegie or Rockefeller their

achieve the enviable status of a mil
lionaire. After hearing music, the
wish is often expressed that the hear

just done; it. seems so easy and spon-
taneous. But the artist could tell of
the long hours of drudgery, the years
of popular neglect or chilly indiffer-
ence, an ordeal from which hundred
novices would shrink for one who
would persevere. But innocent diver
sion has its place in the well-ordered
life of every human being. Those who
have no chance to play are likely to
grow up spiritually as well as physi-

their birthright. Providence never in

amuse themselves increasingly.

be, and would be as good as they
demanded. The problem was with
the people and the proper exercise of
the right of franchise was the only
means by which the errors of govern
ment could be corrected. So long as
the practice of corruption in elections
was condoned, and encouraged by the
people, just so ong would the nation
mourn the mistakes of misrule and

The Persistent Free Trader.

The Des Moines Capital says:
The opponents OF Taft are in a
great measure free traders. The
opposition 10 Taft is backed by rich
importers and the agents for foreign
manufacturers who desire a free en-
trance for their goods into the Amer
lean market.
The free trader is the most per-
sistent standpatter in the world, He
Is always al work. He never sleeps.
II he does, some more radical free
trader springs up in his place.
The free traders have It in for
Taft. They don't like to see the
money piling up in The United States
treasury. They prefer direct taxa
tion as u means OF revenue.
The free traders have the public at
disadvantage. The public has not
really discovered their purpose. The
public may not discover their purpose
until free trade and soup houses are
again established.
