When the voters think it is their
party managers may dictate, then it is
easy for the machine manipulators to
compel the support of such candidates
and policies as are deemed necessary
to accomplish machine ends. 1t is
thus that the party boss holds his evil
sway.
No voter should ever absolutely "be-
long" to any party. He should always
be free and ready to make an intelli-
gent choice between the candidates
who are asking for his ballot, and the
policies he is expected to sustain.
The insurgent movement in the Re-
publican party in the Northwest is
having the same manner of beneficial
effect there that the independent
movement in Tennessee is having
here. The Republican majorities in
the North were created mostly by the
Union and anti-slavery sentiment OF
the civil war period, and the Republic
can party of today, that has small kin
ship to that of Lincoln, has command

attachment to it's name This is al
likely to be changed through the in

PROVING a Statement.

A certain minister. who is an en-
phatic preacher. is at times at a loss
to give his utterances proper weight.
For instance. he'll say:
"This statement is as true as is the
night which will follow day." or "as
true as that the trees will bud in
spring"
Sometimes it happens that the doc
tor has more statements than he has
illustrations to give them weight. On
one such occasion he remarked. "This

halted. He paused few moments
and then his face illumined-"as true

gregation began to smile. then to
laugh. Sympathy for the embarrassed
lady. however. soon subdued the ap
parently uncomfortable mirth.

THE INDEPENDENT SPIRIT.


The present campaign in Tennessee
is doing marvellous amount of good
in educating the voters to independent
thought. The Tennessee electorate
needs to be brought out of the old rut
of belonging to one or the other
political parties on the grounds that
divided the voters in the middle
years of the last century. The world
is moving, and Tennessee needs to
move with it, but it cannot move with
the proper spirit while tied to the
dead past, making fetishes of party
names that have no relevancy to liv-
ing issues.
In East Tennessee the Republicans
have held majorities mainly for he
reason that the greater number OF
people in that section sided with the
cause of the Union in the civil war
The Democrats have controlled IN
other sections for the reverse reason
that the body of the people sympa
thized with and fought for the Confed
eracy. That is matter of history witt
no proper bearing on present condi
tions, and it cannot be projected int
present political questions without 81
lettering the thought and action of thu
voters that there can be no true ex
preston on the living issues, and
therefore, no genuine progress.
The revolt against the Patterson
machine has taught an important les
son of independence. 1t has brough
the voters to consider both men an
measures on their merits without lcoh
ing for the party label.

Mrs. Davis does not believe that enc

grief at times over the sad event is

Davis was visiting Mercer, and botl
had been drunk all night. On the day

Mississippi's Humane Treatment
Of Convicts Was Strikinaly
Shown Yesterday.

Special to The NetOs.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 12-Mississip-
pts humane treatment Of her convicts
is strikingly shown by the report of
the prison board of trustees, placed on
the desk of the members of the leg
islature this morning.
At the close of the two.year period
the penitentiary had 1923 convicts
on hand, and during the biennial term
only So deaths occurred OF this num-
Der sixteen succumbed to tuberculosis
contracted prior to being enrolled as
prisoners, Ave were accidentally killed
and five met death while trying to
escape from custody.
tuberculosis was responsible for a
larger number of deaths than any one
cause, and the prison board is conf.
dent that in the future there will be
IA smaller death ratio from this cause.
q large and commodious structure hav-
ing been recently completed at the
Oakley farm to be used as a tuber-
culosis hospital
On the face Of these figures the
death ratio in the Mississippi peniten.
tiary is much smaller than among the
free population. especially when it is
considered that goodly number of
prisoners are annually brought to the
institution in bad physical condition.
diseases, etc.
The showing of the penintentiary
is, in fact, far better than that of
either of the insane hospitals of Miss
issippi and the excellent health of the
prisoners who wear stripes is no doubt
due to their outdoor employment.
The East Mississippi Insane Hospital
for instance, had SAG inmates on hand
at the close of the biennial period,
equally divided between the sexes,
and there was a total of SO de'tths for
the two years.
The report of the prison board
states that the convicts are all we'll
and warmly clothed, and supplied with
sufficient clothing at all times to en-
able them to keep clean. 1t is doubt
full if there is another penintentiary
in the country where prisoners are
furnished with iron bedsteads, night
shirts, well-ventilated cells, and COM
Portable mattresses, while the food
provided is at all times wholesome
and nourishing. In spite of the lib.
erality shown in treating convicts, the
profits from the farming system
amount to about 100000 per year,
and the real estate titled by the state
showed an increase in value of $780,
$3.50 during the biennial period.
1t is imperative, however, if the
penal system is to continue as a
source of revenue to the state that
