1HS LAw o. SEEING.
/ once knew u man who thought
the world was beautiful and believed
that people we're good. he was al
ways seeing the bright side OF things.
The man was companionable and lika.
BILE aud popular.
Then he was deceived by one or two
persons in whom he had believed.
He was disillusioned and iliogically
came to the conclusion thar all men
are bad aud all women false. He be-
came cynical. The world no longer
appears beautiful. His standing sneer
at humanity IL that every man and
woman has a price. He Is unappre-
ciative. Grabbed aud unpopular.
Why the change?
Simply this-the man has changed
his viewpoint.
The world has not changed, nor the
people. His angle Of vision ID dif,
ferent. He sees only the seamy side
Of things. What he sees Is what be
is looking for. and be finds what he
wants to see. And what he sees makea
him what he is.
And this man thinks himself super.
wise. He has found the world out:
Cynic and ressimist that he II. he has
overlooked the law Of seeing. which
Is
You see what you want to see. What
you see transforms you into what you
are. And. in turn. what you arc de-
termines what you see.
You cannot see what Is not In You
to see. II you are nnbeautiful In your
inner self you cannot see the beauties
OF nature or Of great picture or Of
human nature.
The ability to see 10 not In nature nor
the picture nor In humanity. but In
yourself.
Therefore the cynical point Of view
10 wrong. and there II no wisdom In
the cynic's philosophy.
1t requires discernment and the right
angle OF vision TO discover the good
that Is In people and things. And the
optimist is wiser than the cyuic b.
cause the optimlst sees the things that
are worth while.
The cynic does not SEQ things - they
are. His vision II warped. The gen
uine sort OF criticism Il that SORT
where the critic discovers and appre.
ciates the good. He knows the evil
but is not influenced By It.
Look for beauty and goodness and
you will 6nd them. and they Will
make you beautiful and good: look fol
| ugliness and evil and you win and
them. and they will make you evil
! and ugly.

The clothing Of the Eskimo baby is
often very scanty. In fact, one occa-
sionaly sees baby being carried in
its mothers hood with only a cotton
shirt on, despite the fact that the ther.
mometer registers 20 degrees below
zero. The mothers hood is the baby's
cradle. Being made of seal or deer
skin. it is warm and wind proof. The

Good Move for Clinton.

Clinton, Miss, Aug. 25.-Clin-
ton has abandoned the idea Of
being able to meet the conditions
necessary to secure the State Nor
NAL School, but is still alive to
the interests that may accrue from
its location in another line One
of the sites to be offered by the
Jackson committe is situated about
two and a half miles from the end
of the car line on the Clinton road.
The people living in the neighbor-
hood Of the proposed college site
will offer the land a tract Of sixty
acres but they lack about 81 800
of having the amount necessary to
buy the land and have asked the
Business Mems League Of Clinton
TO come to their assistance on the
condition that the car line should
come out to the college. Last night.
the league took up the matter. and
enthusiastically indorsed the move-
ment. and appointed d committee
to canvass The citizenship for the
required cash. There is no doubt
that the money will be forthconn-
ing. and if the college should be.
located there the car line to Glin-
ton i guaranteed.

BILBO AT CARROLLTON.
He and Other Prominent Speakers Draw
Bic Crowd at YewelI's Town.

Carrollton, Miss, Aug. a.
One of the largest crowds that has
gathered in the county for some
time assembled at the town of
North Carrollton today to attend
the barbecue and hear Theo. Bilbo
deliver his address. The managers
secured the Grenada band for the
day. They had twenty beeves bar
becued to feed the multitude.
The first speaker was Judge
Wiley Potter, of jackson, who
spoke at length on the contingent
fund.
Senator Pollard followed on the
same subject, as did Senator He
-bron. Their speeches were we'll
received and Literally applauded.
After dinner was served Mr.. Bill
DO was introduced. and for about
two and a half hours entertained
the vast crowd with his version of
the secret caucus. He delivered
about the same speech that he has
delivered at other places in the
State.
T. o. Yewell did not reply to
Mr.. BiIbo, as was expected by
some, as the committee of arrange
ments had engaged speakers to fill
every available hour during the
day. Mr.. Yewell's friends propos-
ed to pay $50 of the expenses of
the day if they would divide time
with Mr.. Bilbo, but the offer was
refused by the committee

unable to discover the fact. The
statement of the I.-D.'s jackson
correspondent is denounced as false
by both Shelton and Dickson.
All three Of the candidates have
avowed their endorsement Of the
National Democratic platform,
which calls TOR the election Of
United States Senators by a direct
vote of the people. Quin makes
this plank prominent in his person
al platform and also one for the
repeal Of the Fifteenth Amendment
and modification of the Fourteenth;
but the paramount issue of the
campaign from the beginning down
to date has been Dickson's lumber
tariff record in Congress and his
failure to vote when the vote was
taken on the amendment to exempt
farmers organizations and labor
unions from the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust law. The bat
tie has waged hotly around these
questions on every stump, Shelton
and Quin condemning Dickson's
record and calling for a popular
verdict against him; and Dickson
defending his position with facts
and arguments that have been satis-
flying to many of his constituents
who were at first against him.
Vardamans supporters are divided
up indiscriminately between the
three.
If the Times-Democrat's corres-
pondent and other Jackson anti.
Vardaman prevaricators can get
any comfort out of these facts and
the result in the Sixth District,
where two Vardaman men beat the
corporation and anti Vardaman
candidate in the first primary, or
from the defeat of Adam Byrd, one
of the combines senatorial candi-
dates, by Witherspoon in the Fifth,
they are welcome to it.
Sisson, in the Fourth District,
beat his two opponents. Harper and
Rledsoe, clean out of sight in the
first primary.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1910-08-27

Montgomery county, who is an
i-Vardaman man, said there was
nothing in Senator Bilbo's speech
that he could criticise or contra
dict.
Bilbo renewed his challenge to
meet any Of the gang who have
been denouncing him from 'YewelI
up to Noel down." He denounced
as lies the ISLANDERS circulated
against him, and also said the re-
port that he had ever admitted to
any immoral conduct or that he had
ever permitted any such charges to
be made against him without de-
nouncing their author was also
false.
The main structure of his speech
was based on the assertion that five
forces. whisky, women, money and
federal and gubernatorial patron
age, were used to debauch the
recent legislature, and to say the
least, his proof in substantiation of
this statement seemed to be exceed
ingly convincing to the audience
he had.
Bilbo paid his respects TO Gov.
Noel. and said that many people
thought of him as merely a good
and harmless old Sunday school
lady, but that he was also about
the sIickest old duck in the State;
said he had more respect for Du-
laney, who used the coin, than he
had for Noel, who used his official
patronage for the same purpose.
At the conclusion of BiIbo's ad-
dress he was pulled from, the plat
form and hoisted over the heads of
several hundred men, and it was
twenty minutes or more before he
could return to the platform on
account of the men and women who
crowded around him, expressing
their belief in his speech.

SMITH DEFEATS BROWN.
Returns From the Georgia Primary
Show a Smith Victory.

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 12.-"Can-
nonism" played an important part
in Georgia politics during the past
several months and at the Demo-
cratic primaries yesterday brought
about the defeat of Leonidas F.
Livingston and William M. How
ard, in point of service the oldest
of the Georgia delegation in the
national House of Representatives.
In the Fifth District William
Schley Howard, young attorney.
won a decisive victory over Llv-
lngston. In the Eighth District
the returns show a convention ma
jority of four votes for s. j. Trib-
BILE, and today Congressman How
ard filed notice of contest Of the
election. He charges irregularities
at two precincts in Ebert county,
which gave Tribble a majority of
four votes.
The other nine members Of
Georgia's delegation in congress
are assured of denomination.
The fight against Livingston and
Howard was. in each case, based
upon the representatives alleged
desertion of the Democratic Party
when it was sought last December
to change the so.caIled Cannon
rules of the House.
Former Governor Hoke Smith
won the nomination for governor
over the incumbent, Jos. M. Brown.
Smiths popular majority in the
State was approximately 1900.
Two years ago Brown. whom Gov
ernor Smith had removed as chair
man of the State Railroad Commits
sion, defeated Smith for reelection
by popular majority Of more than
10000. Smiths majority in the
convention will be about thirty-five
votes.
Among the few contests for
other State offices, j. A. Perry won
over o. B. Stevens for railroad
commissioner M. E. Brittian de-
feated B. M. ZettIer for State
school commissioner: T. S. Fielder

THE FALL OF ADAM.
CONGRESSMAN BYRD DEFEATED FOR
REELECTION BY A VARDA-
MAN NAN.
Coming Events Cast Their Shadows
Before"

The latest returns from the.
Thursdays Congressional primary
in the Fifth District when this is
sue Of The Leader goes to press, is
that Sam A. Witherspoon has de-
feated Adam Byrd for reelection
by from 100 to 250 majority in the
entire district. The vote was ex-
ceedingly close in nlost of the coun-
ties and it may take the official
count before the exact figures are
known. 1t seems practically cer-
tain. however. that Witherspoon
will maintain his present lead.
Congressman Byrd has made a.
good record in Congress and was
very popular with the people Of his
district until he entered and con-
tinued with the secret ballot caucus
senatorial combine against Varda-
man last winter. OF all the candi-
dates in that combine Percy,
Alexander. Near Beer Anderson,
Critz. Kyle and Byrd Byrd was
by large odds the strongest man Of
them all before the people. He was
particularly strong with the people
of his own district. which he has
represented for nearly eight years.
Byrd's defeat, or near-defeat, by
a Vardaman man, means that ali
the rest of the combine are politi-
cally foredoomed beyond hope. TIL
is the handwriting on the wall in
box car letters that spells defeat to
Percy and Alexander il next years
primary, II they continue in the
race. With Byrd unable to stem
the tide against wronged and
aroused people, they might just as
we'll abandon the field right now.
