Among the many Milwaukee firms
doing business IN Duluth, the Pabst
Brewing company holds the conf
dence and esteem Of our people to
the highest degree. -
The beer manufactured by this
company is too well known to re-
squire any comment at our hands. It
Is universally conceded to be one
of the healthiest beverages known,
and II the temperance people under
stood 1t, the use Of such health Civ
ing beverages as the Pabst beer would
constitute one Of tEefr strongest
weapons against TIE use Of other
more violent and stimulative drinks.
The local manager here Is Mr..
Heury e. Mueller, gentlemen Of
sterling character, courteous ana
friendly IN his treatment OF, III pa=

and friendly and it is with great
pleasure that we refer to him in this

Gormly paused. and looked his COM
panion hard and directly in the face.
But WHAT" said Haldane. ficking
the ashes from his cigar daintily. and
speculatively watching the blue curl
of smoke that rose languidiy from Its
end in the air.
Gormly thought quickly. He was
not now deceived by the we'll assumed
indifference of Haldane. He was con-
vinced that there was something back
Of 1t; that the relation of Haldane to
the whole affair was more than a
mere casual one: that Haldane had
not told him the plain. unvarnished
truth.

The question was one Gormly could
have declined to answer without a

any offense, for it was one that Hal
dane had no right to ask. He thought
deeply. II swiftly. and before he spoke.
Haldane continued:

be sheer madness for you to attempt

ENForc. 4 LAW.

The proposition to throw down
the bass and let all "patriotic
citizens" irrespective Of their
legal qualifications and disbar-
ments. vote has not met with
that endorsement which is NC
essary to have the proposition
adopted in holding our primaries.
Tie late lamented B. F. Hobbs
of the Brookhaven Leader, while
heartily supporting Mr., Varda-
nan, was in favor of observing
The law i'll our primary elections
and wrote the following editorial
which appeared in the Leader
before his death:
ENFORCE THE Law.
We wish to state here that the Lead
er stands for the constitution and the
law, sink or swim. 1t doesn't believe
in unfair advantage being taken of any
candidate; in any twisting or turning
Of law, or uprooting Of custom or plan
or purpose. to attempt to defeat any
aspirant fol Office. 1t doesn't believe
either in q spasm of conservation to

the man, to a lax administration Of it.
A white man. that so far forgets his
splf-respect and his fealty to his State
is not to pay poll tax. or all taxes,
PAGES himself along side the negro
whom it was expected and desired would
cetauIt and thus be DISTINGUISHED ac-
cording to law. That white men, by
the hundreds and thousands have rot
vniy LAID themselves liable to eiimina
ton from the electorate, by a failure to
pay their taxes, but incurred the pen
d ty fixed by law, in case he does vote
over his defalcation, is h~umilating in
nsed to the patriotic citizenship Of our
proud State.
But more than this, poll tax delin-
q ,ents have muddied the waters Of pri.
mary elections, until there is just in
d,gnation over the fact that men who
lawfully OBEY and pay have their votes
nulliied by those who do not pay their
taxes and who deserve no recognition
under the statutes of the State, as
they relate to elections.
1t is the old matter of officials dere-
lection: and, as in the case of other
failures to conform to the law, better
generally known and more prominent.
there is the crimson line of ~disloyalty
and dlsobediknce and evasion running
through thu meshes of government,
from the disqualified voter himself to

Not Qua-lifi-e d.

A man over at Meridian named
Ross Collins says that he is run
ming for Attorney General.
AS one of his qualifications for
the Office, Mr.. Collins announces
that he is an ardent Vardamln
supporter.
And, to further qualify him
self for the lf-designated class
ification, Mr.. Collins has been
making a joint tour of North
Mississippi with Theo. G. Bilbo.
Up to this time, the Daily
News has been under the i'm
preston that the constitution
and the statutes require that a
man must be a lawyer in order
to hold the Attorney General
ship.
An examination of the records
show that Mr.. Collins has never
had q case in the Mississippi 81
preme Court in his life EFT tri-
bunal i'm which he would be con-
stantly employed in event Of his
election to the Office.
N H
Further examination shows
that his practice at Meridian has
been confined chiefly to the Po-
liece Court.
We submit, therefore, that Mr..
Collins is not qualified for the
office to which he aspires.
Ii all seriousness, we insist
chat, the Attorney-General Of
Mississippi ought to be i lawyer.
