who have held office for fifteen con.
secutiye years, and who firmly Ie-
lieved that they were destined to re-
main in power for many years to
come.
On both sides sympathy is being ex-
pressed for Sir Wilfrid Laurier. His
clean and gallant fight In behalf Of
reciprocity is recognized by opponents
as well as supporters, as one Of the
most notable campaigns ever under
taken in Canada That his efforts
were not crowned with success is still
a matter of inexplicable amazement to
many people in the dominion.

the present governor-general, Earl

startling new situation developed from
the fact that reciprocity with the
United States has been rejected. that
the Laurier government had been de-
feated, and that r. Il. Borden will
shortly be called upon to form con-
servative ministry.
That the changes enacted during
the last twenty-four hours by the
registration of the will Of the elector-
ate are radical, is shown by the over
whelming majority whereby the voters
turned down the agreement which
Laurier had made with the United
States for the mutual removal OF
duties on food and other natural
products, by the defeat Of seven cabi-
net ministers out OF the thirteen who

In re-.. good, old-fashioned American romance of the domestic sort Mary Jane Holmes excelled. The great popularity which her stories enjoyed when they were first published still retains at least a portion of it's vitality, as the we'll thumbed volumes of her works in the cir culating libraries attest. Her pictures of life and society in the middle of the last century are most interesting. It was an era when stoves and oil lamps formed part of the furnishings of the homes of the rich and when Saratoga held it's so- oial head as high as Newport. The times in which the story of Dora Deane is placed were times of great prosperity in this country and no incons!derabe de gree of luxury. Yet something of the relative cost of living then and now may be gleaned from the fact that Mrs. Deane complains of the exorbitant price of S10 a week which she paid for board at fashionable watering place. In those days a man with $100,O00 was 'rich." In character drawing of however impossible perfection and inspid goodness Miss Holmes may make her heroes and hero ines her other creations are strongly de- picted. real and human. We feel as if they were people we knew and have only to look around among our friends and ac- auaintances to pick out those who might have sat for the portraits drawn by the gifted Mary Jane.

SHERIFF reeves IS
OUSTED FOR SHORTAGE

Jackson, Miss, July 24.-Gov. Noel
states that he waited till the very last
minute before he declared the office
of sheriff of Harrison county vacant,
hoping that Sheriff Reeves would be
able to make some satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, but he never did. Harrison
county has no sheriff today, but Gov.
Noel states that he will make an ap.
pointment during the day.
There are no new DEVELOPMENTS in
the matter of the alleged defalcation
and forgery of Sheriff Reeves of about
$1,000, with interest added. Until
this trouble came up .he stood high in
the estimation of Auditor Smith and
his assistants.

OF the annual convention of the Ma

United States, in session here last
week was an address delivered by

Mr.. Barhart told the convention that
since the people are sending more
editors to each succeeding congress
the dawn of the legislative millennium
is correspondingly nearer"
The great duty of the newspaper
man, he said, is to work for more pos
sibilities, more health and more hap

civilization both here and hereafter" !"
He denounced the policy of newspa-
pers which blindly support the candi-
dates of their party, whether or not
the candidates are worthy of public
confidence and trust.
"Tell the truth and fear no man is
the only safe guide to editorial sue
