OUT OF APPRECIATION.

The Commonwealth is in every
sense appreciative of the splendid
patronage that it has received
within the past few weeks.
This paper has been, is and al
ways will be first for Greenwood
and Leflore County, and it takes
this liberal patronage as apprec-
iation on the part of our patrons
of our attempt to give our constit-
uency a live newspaper and clas-
sy job printing. It never neglects
to say what it thinks best for the
good people that support it, and is
on the Jump every time to push a
good improvement.
There's nothing radical about
the policy of this paper, and it goes
on in the even teuor of its way,
approaching every proffer of pat
ronage it receives.
Always remember that when a
n order for stationery or advertis:
is given to The Commonwealth its
appreciated in every sense of the
word, and we try to give same the
careful attention it deserves.

ROW BEW OUT
FOR cnANcERY CLrRk-
Popular Young Business Man Asaesacos
For That Office.

In this issue Of The Commonwealth
appears the announcement OF Roy Bow
as a candidate for Chancery Clerk Of
Lefore county, subject to the action Of
the Democratic party at their 1911
primary.
Every one in the county who has had
anything to do with the county records
will admit that there is not . man in
Lehore county better acquainted with
the county records than Roy Bew, and
his entry into the Chancery clerk'sr race
will make that contest a more spirited
one.
There are already three avowed can.
didates for this important Office, and the
selection of the proper man for thia
place should be made carefully.
Mr.. Bew asks a careful consideration
of his claims before you go to thu
polls in November, 1911, and submits
his record a Deputy in the diferen,
departments of the county Offices foI
your further approval.

The individual voter in Missis-
sippi is protected at the polls by
the Australian ballot system. Nc
man has a right to demand him to
tell for whom or how he voted.
When he enters the booth he
faces no intimidation save that OF
his own conscience. 1t was the
same protection that was given
the legislator at Jackson last
January. Surely it was apparent
that all the forces of fanaticism
were endeavoring TO change his
honest convictions, and that there
was a radical element which tried
to make up in bowling what il
lacked in numbers.

knows a hawk from a handsaw, says
the disease "is nothing more nor
less than hookworm in the head

said employee insinuates the same to

imagines he is the whole cheese

life that goes with it; that without
him the universe, to say nothing OF

employed, would collapse; why.

The FarmsM Union Asvocate Of sep-
21stspeating 81 tho evolution
Of INDUSTRIAL. political and government
al affairs, Of the progress made in the
of corporations, and Of the
Of governmental ownership
of public utilities, says, among other
hings /:
.Here in Mississippi we are a long
way in advance of our sister States.
The Railroad. Commission has almost
plenary poweri in dealing with railroads
express; sleeping car, telegraph and
telephone Companies. It has the veto
power On any rate suggested, and may
make and promulgate the rates of
charge for railroads express companies
sleeping a companies, Telegraph and
telephone companies, car service asso-
Citations, or any company OF corporation
or individual engaged in furnishing a
public service in the way of transport
ing either persons, property, intel1i-
gence or information, and has q general
power of regulation in all matters
concdrning these things.
'This, in effect, is government own
ership, except that the profits, if any
there be, go to the owners, rnd the
losses, If any, must be borne by the
same source. With this safeguard
there is no need of any citizen being
imposed upon by any corporation.
"Spleudid as this system is, there are
yet, aside from absolute government
ownership, many points upon which it
can be perfected. The government
should acquire the telegraph lines and
and the telephone lines. These two
methods of disseminating intelligence
are what might be termed natural mo-
nopolies." In order to be- effective and
efficient, there should be one great
system of each. There is no more ex'
cuse for two or three telegraph compa'
MES, or a dozen OF more telephone com
panies, than there is for as many pri
vately owned systems of distributing
the mail. The dissemination Of intelli
gence by telegraph, or by voice owe
the wires, is as essential, if not more
SO, than that of the slower method o
transmitting letters by mail, and there
fore these methods should be eventu
ally owned by the Government. Unit
that time we must depend upon tn
supervision Of the various States an
of the Federal Government, but, ii
order to render the fullest service, eac

To remove every social club

disastrous effect upon that insti-
