Varieties OF Amputation.

No doubt President Taft is capable
Of heroic se~lf-sacrifice, but we cannot
see that 1t would do anybody any good
IL he should cut Off his right hand in
order to prevent further disturbance
of the business Of this country.
Better keep that respectable and
useful member of his personal organ

tive to general distress.
If the patriotic chief magistrate is
now In an amputating mood, how
would 1t do for him to consider the
cutting of Of Wickersham?

False Economy.
Aberdeen Examiner.

Aberdeen Examiner.
We note in the proceedings OF the
Board of Examiners that the reasonable
salary of the County Prosecuting Attor-
nev has been reduced. This will gener-
ally be regarded as ill-advised economy,
we think, as the Office was not only IN
expensive to the county, but, on the
other hand, has during the term OF the
present incumbent put more money into
the treasury in the way OF penaltles
than was ever before received in double
that time. The law provides that each
conviction shall carry cost-tax to the
general fund amounting to $500, and
this. in itself, was designed to compen-
safe the outlay for County Attorneys
salary.
There is no worse investment than
a cheap judiciary, whether the purchase
be Judge or prosecutor, and in this in
stance the salary, as originally ordered,
hoe heen more than earned without put
t;np any burden upon the tax payers.
There are many broad avenues to
eeanonay. but the last and most hazard
ons to tread are those which concern
the peace. order and safety OF a COM
nlunity Of $1,000 people, like Monroe

E. ]. FORD FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Hon, Ebb J. Ford, the present Dis
trict ATTORNEY for this territory, the
Second Judicial District, is candidate
to succeed himself, and, accordingly
announces his intention in The Echo to
the voters of Hancock county and else
where.
Mr.. Ford was appointed by Governor
Noel some time since to I'LL the unex-
pired term of Hon. Pat Harrison, re-
signed, and up to the present time has
fulfilled the trust in satisfactory man.
ner and worthy of his predecessor. Mr..
Ford's friends are of the correct opinion
that right is on his side, and there is no
reason why the time-honored custom OF
the Democratic party in returning TO
the long term any official who has made
a good officer during a short term, Sc
cured either by election or appointment,
should be broken at this late date in his
case. That he has worked hard to ad-
minister the duties of the Office compe-
tently, no one will deny, and the pre-
vailinp opinion is that in this office he
| has been a success. Mr.. Ford's cause
appeals to all thinking people, and his
candidacy will receive their most earnest
consideration. He intends to be in Bay
St. Louis at an early date, when he will
call upon as many voters as his time
will permit; for he does not desire to
encroach upon the time for his official
duties in the matter of campaigning for
the future.
Mr.. Ford is a comparatively young
man, active, forceful, and well versed In
criminal law. He is a native Misslsslp-
plan, born in M arion county, at Colum-
bia, in 1886, his father being Hon. 1. ..
Ford, who is we'll known on the entire
Mississippi Gulf Coast. He attended
colleg ge at Bell Buckle, Tenn, and the
University of Mississippi, at Oxford,
and graduated in law after three-year
course at the university at Oxford, Eng
land. In 1907, he returned from his
studies in Europe and located at Scran-
ton. where he has made his home ever
since, serving a partial term as mayor,
and resigning to apply for the appoint
ment of District Attorney in September
of last year. Since that time he has
been in Office, succeeding Congressman
elect Harrison. If possession is nine
points, then Mr.. Ford can anticipate
his election. He asks our readers to
give his claims favorable consideration
at the polls in the primary election this
summer.

HON. JOHN CRAFT FOR SUPERINTENDENT
OF EDUCATION.

| In the Announcement Column OF this
| weeks Echo will be found the torrna
announcement of Hon. John Craft, Of
Bay St. Louis, who is candidate &c
succeed himself in the office OF county
superintendent of education.
There is no Office more important
than that which, in large measure,
controls the destinies of the puohc
schools of the county, and, since Mr.
Crafts administration has been one
effective for all that is good, we see no
reason why he should not be returned
| for another term in recognition OF
worthy service and as reward justly
due him, He has administered to the
duties of the office to the satisfaction OF
all concerned and has given the position
all of his time. He is we'll versed in the
work and experienced. About the pest
ompliment that can be paid his work,
and not wishing to disparage other ON
cials competent and having opposition,
is the fact that it is apparent he will
have no opposition. Yet, in spite OF
this fact he intends to interview every
voter he can possibly meet in the
county, and, as the occasion demands
he will, from time to time, address the
people. although not sacrificing any OF
his time from official duties to political
preferment.
Mr.. Craft is too we'll known to our
people to need long introduction, but,
suffice it to say, he is young, capable
and progressive, and in him the puollc
schools of Hancock county have an ex-
ponent worthy of the name. He mas
embarked upon laudable ambition TO
serve the schools of his country, ana IL
is we'll that he continue in this sublime
work, and he should be given all the en-
couragement and support possible to-
wards this end. He is son OF super
visor S. J. Craft and a member OF one
of the best and representative families
of Hancock county.
It is doubtful whether he will be op-
posed. In this event it would be de-
serving compliment to his services Tor
the voters to give him a full vote, as
formal and public tribute to his worth
and in recognition of services. This IS
his first term, and it has always been
good Democratic custom to reward a
first term with a second.
