DO YOU WANT IT.?

Young man, young woman,
your future lies before you; you
go forth to conquer. You are
now ready to choose the work
of your life. What shall it be?
You are the hope of the c, untry;
your vigorous r-ind5. the prixe
most valued, Like the spark
ling diamond sought by the
thousand miners, you are sought
by positions of responsibility and
trust.
When you cast your eyes
about for the seems of the bril-
liant exploits and daring deeds
of the future. you must look to
the quiet office where the busi-
ness Of the world is transacted.
The Willingtonsand Napoleons
of the next fifty years will win
their laurels in the fields of busi-
ness, and the stateman who
makes his name a househol
Worl will be the man who has
mastered the diplomacy of COM
merce, The man who will set
the world on fire will be the one
who know how to touch the hid
den springs Of trade, activity
and to make the wheels of COM
merce hum with the business of
the world, All men who have
been great in the world, hove
been thoroughly prepared for
the work of their lives, and you,
like them, must learn with thor
oughness the work which the
world has called you to do.
Though you be versed in the
languages, living and dead, you
will not be wanted for the best
Of positions unless you are pre-
pared to do the work demanded.
The road to advancement in all
the great lines of work in the
commercial world today is prac-
tically confined to three channels;
A knowledge of Bookkeeping
and Business Training, Short
hand or Telegraphy, and station
work. The demand for young
men and women equipped with
a thorough knowledge Of these
subjects, is far greater than the
supply. Write the Columbus
Business College, Columbus,
Miss, for their catalog, and see
how to secure this knowledge at
a reasonable cost. A good po-
sition is open TO you if you have
this. Do you want it?

DIR. Knapp's Advice.

E'YOu can grow cotton in the
South, boil weevil, or no boil
weevil.
eve have just begun to raise
cotton. The next twentytw
years should see the crop double,
as it did in the past twenty two
years.
"Anyone who says Let us get
out of cotton is uttering cheap
talk.
"The only safe plan is to pro
duce a cheap crop, for your bank
account, and at the same time
produce your provisions on the
farm.
eff you do not intend in the
future to get all you can out OF
the soil and out of your labor,
sell your plantations now.
EThe progress of the world is
the enslavement of machinery.
The man who is successful will
use more machinery and fewer
men.
'"The South can raise four times
what it does at present, and in
crease the net profit ten per cent.
If you should even double the
crop you could own the world and
go fishing.
Destroy confidence in farming
and you put dynamite under your
cities.
"Publicity is great thing for
the farmers.
"You should all get agriculture
al religion. If you don't you
will go to agricultural hell pretty

The Senatorial Question.

Some people and editors are
pretty severe in their criticisms OF
those who oppose the naming OF
Mr.. Nardaman as Senator to sue
ceed Hon. A. j. McLaurin. Some
of these gentlemen who oppose
him are recognized as the leading
men of our commonwealth, and
yet these critics accuse them OF
narrow prejudice and the meanest
kind of practices to defeat Mr..
Nardaman. Certainly this can
not be true. There is no denying
Mr.. Nardaman's great popularity
with the masses, but a thorough
examination will convince anyone
in search of truth, that the sound
est thinkers of the State do GER
tainly oppose him. This does not
mean that no we'll informed,
thinking men are on his side; by
no means, but it does mean that a
large per cent of the level headed,
conservative citizenry do not wish
him to represent the State in the
national senate. This opposition
is not born of prejueice, hate, en-
Wy or jealousy, but because Of Mr..
Nardaman'S cratic views on some
political questions. For a num-
Der of good reasons, they do not
want the world to believe that the
state of Mississippi stands for the
radical views to which Mr.. Narda-
man is welded.
Should Mr.. Nardaman succeed
in his senatorial aspirations, his
views would place him just where
Jeff Davis was placed by that au-
gust body. He would have no in
tluence there and could do the
State no good.
Men of the Nardaman and Jeff
Davis kind cannot WELD influ-
ence in the councils of the nation.
They are fine stump speakers; say
many beautiful and witty things,
but that does not mean statesman
ship, and a high order of states
manShip is required of a man if he
would have influence in the Unit
ed States Senate. Mr.. Vardaman
is not statesman Of high order,
and in saying this the LEADER
does not disparage his intelIi-
gence, scholarship or forensic
ability. He is ''sweet singer of
Israel" " but not a statesman. He
may go to the Senate by virtue of
his popularity with the masses,
but if SO, we stake our all as a
prophet of political personalities
and events, that he will not be
heard OF. naturally except as a
very erratic member, West Point
Leader.

Using familiar baseball phras-
eology to describe the situation,
the senatorial contestants are
now figuring out the dope
sheet. y
Considering political dope in
the same way we figure baseball
dope. the situation offers but lit
tie consolation for the radical as
pirant for senatorial pennant
honors.
Certain it is, the dope sheet
does not show this candidate to
be the peoples choice" as is
so vehemently asserted by his
rooters in the grand stand and
bleachers.
Most of the roofing, by the
way, has been out in the bleach
ers. 1t is in that part of the
political park where the most in
tense enthusiasm has been
shown. The legislative contin-
gent, occupying seats in the
grand stand, has it's affections
very much divided. Further
more, they are keeping their eye
on the ball at every juncture of
the game, and getting ready for
the ninth inning rally.
In view of the fact that the
people have not had the oppor-
tunity to express their choice in
this particular game, there is no
logic whatever in saying that
any man is the peoples
choice. 1t would be just as
rational to charge John Doe
with being guilty of every crime
in the catalogue, and every mis-
demeanor in the decalogue.
The fact of the matter is that
the spectators in this great pol
itical game are very much di-
vided in their affections. Each
player has his following, and not
until the final innings is played,
and one of the candidates proves
himself entitled to the honors of
the day, can any sort of figuring
be attempted indicative of the
peoples choice.
Getting back tc baseball par
lance, tho. radical candidate in
this political contest has played
four games, lost three and won
one
His percentage, according to
these figures, is only .25O.
Any man who knows any
thing whatever about the great
national game full we'll knows
that a percentage of .25O never
won a baseball pennant in this
world.
Some of these games were
played against weak teams, COM
posed of players who were lack
ing both in skill and team work.
The batteries were bad, the ball |
was fumbled on infeld and out
field, the base running without
judgment, and the batting con-
sisted chiefly of bunts and
strike-outs.
Particularly was this true of
the memorable game of 1903 |
when the opposing players start
ed a fuss among themselves and
allowed the radical player to
steal home from second.
In two other games he was de-
feated by decisive scores. In
the fourth he had powerful
pitcher in the box named Pat
backed up by a superb
catcher whose name was printed
on the score card as Political
Pull. The fielding was excel
lent, and the ball was kept con-
in the air by the strick-
ers," but the other team won
the game because it was backed
by better brain work.
In the present game the radi-
cal contestant for the pennant in
The Senatorial League is opposed
oy picked team of players who
possess both brains and ability,
who know every fine point Of
he game, and who have played
t with deadly accuracy and bril-
fancy since the first inning.
The contest S not yet ended,
put present indications are that
he .25O figure in the percentage
column will not be increased

BIDS FOR Y. M. c. A.
BUILDING IN SEPTEMBER

A cablegram from Mr.. Ripley, arch
itect of the new Y. NJ. C. A. building,
was received yesteday, stating that he
would arrive by the next Wilhelmina,

Will be called for Immediately after his
arrival, and it is only short time
until work viii begin on the exeava-
ton.
It is hoped by Secretary Paul Super
that the handsome new building can
be dedicated on September %, 1911,
since September % was the date on
which the present building was dedi-
Gated in 1882. The regular religious,
educational, physical and social ac-
tivities of the association begin about
October /, so this date wouldhgive the
members the use OF the new quarters
at Just the time of year they are most
needed.
