Memorial Day.

HEADQUARTERS GRAND ARMY OF THE.
REPUBLIC, STATE HOUSE, BOSTON,
MASS, April II, 1911.
Once a week, in this great and pow
erful Republic, the devout people gath
er in their houses of worship to cele
brate their Sabbath day by clarifying
their God whom they adore, and to
whom they owe all that they have.
Once year the lovers of country
have their independence day, when,
with bursting of rockets and booming
of guns, they celebrate the birth of the
nation they love and to which they owe
their liberty, and once year Thanks
giving day is fttingly observed by a
grateful people, who, acknowledging
and approaching the blessings of God,
offer up to Him their gratitude and
praise for His divine gifts.
But greater and dearer than all those
days, because it comprehends all, is
Memorial day, founded by the Grand
Army of the Republic and observed by
admirers of bravery and lovers of lib
erty all over our land, irrespective of
age or sex, race or creed. On that day
the living veterans make their annual
pilgrimage to the graves of their loved
and lost comrades. On that day a
grateful people throng to the cemeter-
les, and with reverent ears listen to the
word of God as it falls from reverent
lips.
On that day the blessings of the Al
mighty are recognized by the paeans OF
joy and hymns of praise that ascend to
His heavenly throne, and on that day
our country's foundation is celebrated
in common with our country's saliva
ton. Equal honor is paid to its found
ers and its savers Washington, the
father; Lincoln, the martyr, and Grant,
the savior-are eulogized in verse and
prose, and, the whole nation rises in
gratitude to the brave men, living and
dead, who offered their lives on the
altar of personal liberty and national
unity.
Let the recurrence of Memorial day
renew in our hearts that charity which
is one of the greatest principles of the
Grand Army; but-restrict not your
charity to the living. Extend it also
to the dead. If the grave of a Confed-
crate soldier lies in your path pass it
not by. Remsmber that the brave re-
spect the brave, and reverently lay
your flowers upon his earthly covering,
as token that we who once were enc
mics are now friends.
The Sunday preceding Memorial day
has, by long usage, become a part of
the regular exercises, and it is expect
ed that Posts will invite their allied or
CARNATIONS to join with them in attend
ing divine service on that day.

HON. S. s. HUDSON,

Hon. S. S. Hudson is a candidate
for re election as attorney General
of Mississippi, but the discharge
of his official duties require so
much Of his time that it will be
impossible for him to make a close
personal canvass of the State.
The Office is highly an honorable
one and in recent years, by
reason of the growth of the State
and the investment here of large
sums of money by corporations it
has grown to an Importance
second only to the office of Gov
ernor. Mr.. Hudson has filed the
office very acceptably since his
appointment, which came to him
Unsolicited, and which was not ac-
copied because of the salary at
tached, as his private practice
was far more renumerative, but
because he has a pride in his pro-
fesional attainments beyond coin
ing them into dollars and cents.
He has enjoyed a lucrative
practice in all the State and
Federal Courts for twenty years
in every branch of the law. He
served the people faithfully as a
member of the Legislature and as
a District Attorney several years
whed young man;andh his life public
and private, is an open book to
the people. He IS a hard student
| and the Supreme and Federal
court records bear witness to his
work and ability. He is not the
candidate Of any man or any
faction, but is running on his own
! merits; and is willing to be
| measured by his standard as a
lawyer and as a man of high and
moral Observation-Disclosures News.

THE ELECTION COMMIS
SIONERS.

1T has been called to our atten-
tion that the selection of election
commissioners is a matter of vital
importance to the candidates and
to the voters. They need to be
mon Of sterling honesty and incor-
ruptible integrity. They ought to
be mon who can return q truthful
count when their favorites are
beaten. Such men may be
hard to find but they are here.
They are not ordinarily seeking
the place of election judges. nor do
they want them when offered. but
they can be induced to spend che
day in the service of the people,
Just rs good men ought to be willing
TO servo on jnries.-Batesville
PAn0lian.
Tho PAnolian is entirely right;
tho selection Of county commissions
ora. or election managers, is .
matter Of vital importance, and they
should SEQ that no man, whose name
docs not appear on the poll book, is
permitted TO vJte under any circnm-
stancen, for the Law says he shall
mot vote. Is also makes false testi-

There is nothing difficult about
the law governing primary elections.
Nothing is simpler. The election
commissioners are required to meet
at the ,ffice Of The registrar-tEe

ton and poll books of the different

JUVENILE

BANK OF I oG8C6m60G.
JUVENILE R~EFORMATORY.
Miss Emily Butt, of Jackson,
chairman Of the Mississippi i've
nile reforma.ory.
Many legislative candidates have
addressed letters to Miss Butt, some
of them being voluntary communi-
cations, stating that they will sup
port the juvenile r%eformatory bill.
Similar letters are being received
from the State press, and the aggres-
sive campaign planned by the as
ISOLATION is now we'll under way.
the following very tense and
logical reasons setting forth the need
of a reformatory have been prepared
by Miss Butt:
/. What We should look for
most carefully in a boy is not faults
OF boyhood, but his larger qualities
that may be developed.
2. The quality most needed for
boybood, is the courage to do right
because it is right, and not because
they will be punished if they don't
do it.
3. The love of right IL In al
boys, # we will only go at it in the
right way.
4. The gospel of work should be
taught every boy; the gospel of the
worker that works not for the
money there is in it, but for the joy
of the work itself.
5. Proper care of juvenile of
tenders against the law, is economi-
cal. 1t saves doliafs and cents, but
the most important Saving is IN
manhood, and citizenship; no effort
is made to estimate this, for it is
beyond calculation.
6. Our method of handling bad
boys must be efficient. If done the
wrong way, kindnes may be mis-
taken for weakness, sympathy for
justification, and what is permitted
to be accounted leniency, may be-
come almost as dangerous as
brutality.
7. It is a fundamental law that
a crime may not be committed by
one who is unable to appreciate the
nature and quality of tho act,
8. Every community is mefsur=
ed by its citizenship, "God give US
men, not convicts."
8. It is not in the death of her
criminals That the state is the loser;
it is in the lass of the force of
character. which might have been
exampliied in q reformed life.
10. The last legislature aprfo
priated $4,000 for the eradica.
ton of the cattle tick, but not one
cent to save the hayward boys.
II. Mississippi has probably
the best prison system in the
United States, but it is not nor wae
it ever intended to be a boys re-
formatory.
II. Morals are contagious. We
have learned to isolate diseased peo-
pie who may contaminats others,
but we still allow children to be-
come morally contaminated by con-
tact with degraded criminals.
I2, The problem of the children
is the probieM Of the State. As we
neglect or pass them by. the blame
for government to come must rest
upon us.
"A. Boys arc what men are made
of-what kind Of men can be made
in jails?
Is. Would sou want your boy
to be educated in the peniteptiar, !?
Is. Who are the criminals2
Convict boys, O the State that fai'
to provide them with reformatories?
Il. It is easier to make them
unmake a convict.
18. What ideals arc held up to
the boys in our prisons.
49, a person il the most efectual
means known for destroying ideala

FOR GIRLS ROOMS.

Girls who would like some small or
nament for their rooms which are in
teresting in color and form and not at
all expensive will find il well worth
their time to make occasional visits to
the plaster shops The Renaissance

and Is cents at some of these shops.
when skilfully colored make very
charming, unobtrusive bits of color on
wall which might otherwise be too
severely black and white.
The small tanagra figurines, which
are to be had for less than a dollar, are
exquisite. and a girl who has a good
idea of color may find great pleasure
in reproducing the delicate tones of
the antique figures, says a writer in
the New York Herald. Another charm
ing little plaster piece is the Premier
rooster.
Then there are small plaster brack-
cts reproduced from antique models
and very lovely for q corner, where
they may be made to hold a delicate
vase or small figure. The more
splendid sculptures reproduced in plas
ter are hardly suitable for the usual
girls sitting room, but these small
pieces, especially when they have been
carefully colored, are most attractive.

A HAPPY SHIPS CREW.
The Men of the Battleship Mississippi
Proud of Their Record.

member Of the crew OF the bat
tleship Mississippi writes to the Blue
jacket a letter in which he says that
he and his mates are just about the
best and happiest lot OF tars in Uncle
Sans service.
In five months time" he says. there
were 142 men over leave and liberty
on this ship alone. nearly one man
for each day. Considering the amount
Of leave and liberty that has been
granted the men of this ship, the
showing made has been far below
what it was on other ships. For the
average for the sixteen battleships
447, is over three times the absentees
from this ship. and the total, 1871, is
a disgrace to the service.
Another table shows that the Mis-
sissippi during a certain period OF
1910 had less desertions than any Of
the other ships Of the fleet, and in
Guiding a number Of large ships of
the Asiatic and Pacific stations. When
the helm of this ship was taken IN
hand by Captain William F. FuIIam.
