he passed on. The moral in its applica- tion is easy. Personal preference or even opposition is one thing, and duty to the public quite another.
 Nor do they collide at any point An official is vested with certain power and prerogative for term of office. To de- rive from a source no nobler than that of personal spite a means of harrassment and embarrassment, and to dog his steps with such solely in the glut of vengeance, is to involve the well being of the entirc constituency of that official and cripple Eim in the performance of the duty which he owes the public. The consequence is that the public Is made to sufer in order to satisfy the qualification of d malcon- tent Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars" is obligatory as that other injunction, Render unto God the things that are Gods"
 Nor is this a sacrifice, nor even com promise of principle. I will go as far as any in the condemnation of official derel- iction or laxness. On the other hand, will support to the utmost any official who seeks to perform his assigned duty, no matter who he may be. To me this Is the policy wisdom would recommend, this the precaution prudence would sug- gest.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Let Us Have Peace"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Making these memorable words of Cen eral Grant the basis of a brief article ad- justed to prevailing conditions, the pnes, ent writer would venture to urge that there is nothing to be gained for the pub lie veal by perpetual agitation, no mat ter what it's basis be- unless indeed, it be that which is itself hurtful to the in terests of the lSte If officials are dereiict, they are subject to public criti- clsm. and should be criticized, but so far as these same officials are meeting the claims of their obligations they should bs supported. It is not time to be going afield in search of means of elimination and agitation, but one for united action for the general good
 If official or any number of oft ciais are openly recreant to duty, I am ready to join in their exposure, but where they show any disposition to respect their paths and obligations in the protection of the public good personal grievances should be subordinated to the good q, the public. The vent of personal com plaint in public may afford an occasion of sensation, and provoke gratifying mer- riment to some, but if it involves those who are in charge of affairs. it necessar- fly involves the general good, impalrs the general peace of the commonwealtb and operates seriously against business affairs, not only but goes more deepIv and involves the dignity of the state. This is the inevitable result where there is constant vent of personal spleen about affairs purely personal where ex pressions of opinion and charges of one character and another fly like bullets ;n battle.
 Independence of thought is that which should be maintained, and is, by every worthy man. The writer of this article has his own views, and they are decided. To him they are principles which would not be surrendered even though opposed by every other man in the state. He believes that he Is correct, and until con vinced to the contrary he will steadfasrlv maintain them. But we have presented conditions which are for the time fixed and to ignore these, and to seek to tear to tatters these conditions the refluent result of which action can le only harm full, is unpatriotic.
 The public good is far more to be de- sired than the personal qualification of any citizen. It is therefore the proper

In order to do this, our conditions must be made inviting. Distraction is not enc of the elements that invite. Unnec- essary agitation is a barrier. If there be principle involved. then agitation may be necessary. But the creation of per petual hubbub in much-ado performance about nothing does not involve principle. Distraction without cause is destruction. If distraction become necessary on ba- sis of principle, well; but if invoked for personal or factional ends, 1t tends to dis ruption, to the oosening of the rivets of society, and to the sapping of the founda- ton of public welfare. It is easy to look through a goose quill and see only that which is personal: it is patriotic to en- visage the whole situation and make the most of that which Is within view. con tributing with the might of each to the greatest good of the whole, of which the most aggreved is a part.

PROTEST AGAINST
 NEW MILEAGE BOOK Mississippi Travellers to Ap-
 peal to Commission ROADS CLAIM SAVING
Travellers State Cost $24 to Travel a Thousand Miles on New Book. Prisoner Who Leaps From
 Train Is Killed

Meridian, MISS, DecenDef 1U-tSp6- ciaL)-Members of the Mississippi Travellers association are up in arms over the new scrip mileage book that goes into effect January on the rail roads east of the Mississippi river and south of the Potomac The fight of the travellers is brought on by the recent publication of the fact that effective January mileage books. containing 2500 1 cent coupons, or worth s25, would be sold for s20. This the railroads state is worth $25 in scrip.
 The unit in the new books is the cent instead of the mile. It was claimed by the railroads that the new system would be a great saving to the public in that it would give them the advan- tage of a unanimous cent rate on all of the southeastern railroads.
 The travellers declare that they have given the matter considerable tnvesti gation and that they have found that it will cost SPA per 1000 miles to travel on the new scrip book. Ben H. Holder of Jackson, president of the Travellers association, and E. D. Self of Meridian, chairman of the legislative committee, will take the matter up at once with the railroad commission and seek re- lief from this new system.

 The negro had been convicted of vagrancy in a justice court at Meehan Junction and sentenced to a term on the county roads, and was being brought to this city by Constable J. s. Speed for incarceration in the county jail until he could be transferred to the county convict camp. Upon reach- ing the Northeastern shops the Ala bama and Nicksburg train, aboard which were Constable Speed and his prisoner. the train stopped, and the negro made dash for liberty. He succeeded in leaving the train with the officer in close pursuit. The two had gone but d short distance when the negro stopped. crouched. and when Constable Speed attempted to grab him. he raised his manacled hands and felled the officer to the ground with a terrific blow on the head. As the officer fell the negro continued his mad dash for freedom.
 Officer Speed came on to the city. and hatless and bleeding from a gash on the head, made his appearance at police headquarters, asking for assis tance in capturing the negro.
