An Indictment of American Youth

The leading article of a recent num-
Der of the Atlantic Monthly is entitled
"a Letter to the Rising Generation, y
bv Cornelia A. p. Conner, and has at
tracted attention not only in this III
try but in Europe. Mrs. Conner at
tacks young America in singing terms.
She thinks that our youth lack all the
virtues that go to make a nation great.
as the quality of the human product
really falling OFF," she asks; and she
seems inclined to answer the question
in the affirmative.
From the past generation, Mrs. Co
mer declares, still survive gentle
women who are like old lace and opals,
gentlemen all compounded of consider
alton and courtliness." Their graces
are not due to their age, but to their
ideals. They present a strong contrast
to the ''~loud-voiced, bouncing girls"
and rough familiar boy associates of
the present day. A generation ago,
Young men and women at the forma-
tive age saw occasional performances
of Booth, Barrett, Modjeska and rip
Van Wrinkle" Nowadays even chill
dren 90 to vaudeville and go almost
constantly. Mrs. Conner writes, ad-
dressing the youth of our country. d.
rectly:
.'Our ancestors spoke frequently of
fortitude. That virtue was very real
and very admirable to them; we use
the word too little; you not at all. The
saving grace of their everyday hard
ships has vanished. Even in a palace,
life may be well lived One wonders
how Marcus Aurelius would have judged
the moral possibilities of flats or apart
ment hotels. When one gets light by
pushing a button, heat by turning
screw, water by touching a faucet, and
food by going down in an elevator, life
is so detached from the healthy exer
else and discipline which used to &C
company the mere process OF living
that one must scramble energetically
to a higher plane or drop to a mucl
lower ."--Current Literature.

The following splendid tribute from
the citizens of Alfalfa county to Hon.
C. H. Alexander will be read with much
interest:
To the People of Alfalfa County:
There is confronting you and the
people of Mississippi to-day a political
situation that requires your most studi-
GUS consideration. There are, as you
know, two political factions contending
for ascendency. Upon the n hand
there is the professional politician,
abusive and suspicious, appealing to
prejudice and passion; the destructive
as opposed to the constructive; weak
ening those in authority, rather than
upholding them in the discharge
of their duties. Upon the other hand
there is the conservative citizen appeal
ing to the reason and better judgment of
our people; the constructive as opposed
to The destructive; unfolding those in
authority for the better enforcement Of
our laws and the general prosperity OF
everyone. Between these two forces
we must decide.
A representative in the U. S. Senate
is to be chosen, the highest honor and
responsibility within our gift. Before
the people are three aspirants, m OF
which will be chosen. The question te
decide is: which one shall we choose:
This address is made to you in behalf Of
Hon. C. H. Alexander for reasons thai
we shall now give.
First; he is our home man, being bOrr
and reared and given his common schoo
education among us. We all know hin
and his lineage, therefore a home pride
the highest possible pride, makes it
appeal to you. However, were this hi
only claim it would indeed be a veal
one, therefore we offer; secondly, hi
mental ability, a consideration of nue.
Importance in a decision like this one
He is not only endowed with a natura
strength of intellect but it has bee
thoroughly educated, closing as he di
his school days, with a diploma fror
the University of the state bearing th
marks of first honors among his class
mates, since that time he has apple
himself in the further development G

This Space has been arranged for BY the
Friends of Hon. c. II. .4ler0nder in Grenada Go.
A T|BUTE TO ALEXANDER.
ATTAlA COUNTY CITIZENS GIVE HIM HIGH PRAISE.

Has Made in Private Life.
ITALIA COUNTY CITIZENS GIVE HIM HIGH

his mental capacity. But this addition
al capacity would not render him supe-
rior to other of his fellowmen for this
exalted position, therefore we offer:
Thirdly: his professional and attend
ant business success in life as evidence
of his superior fitness for the position
he seeks. Beginning with the first
honor diploma from the law depart
ment of our State University, he has
by studious application become pro-
found in legal lore, his counsel being
sought where great questions were in
volved. But home pride, literary at
tainments, legal and business success
are all considerations of less Importance
than the one we now offer;
Fourthly; his moral and christian
character, for without possessing these
qualifications no lar is complete, an
example to honor before our young
manhood. Possibly among the laity of
Mississippi no other man has done more
for the higher development Of u peo-
| pie than Mr.. Alexander.
He has been an active and t~ireless
worker for the moral and christian up
lift of his people since young manhood
going in obedience to his own impulses
and the behest of those in authority
over him. He is indeed a gentleman
whose life and character can be pointed
to with pride by every citizen of our
state and held up as a worthy type to
our young manhood.
In the present contest, n noted for
its mud singing and abuse; its inquiry
into both the private and public charac-
ter of those engaged in it, Mr.. Alexan-
der has maintained a dignity that be-
cometh the gentleman that he is, and
his character has been left unbesmirch-
ed by those who would attack it.
Therefore, in view Of the foregoing
acts and others that we could mention,
we, his boyhood friends and acquain-
%tances, make this appeal for your sup.
port.

THE SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.

! am no poet; but listen awhile
AS ! spin out rhymes a minute to the mile.
| wish to notice the Senators race .
Which is moving with accelerating pace,
And the thing does ME mostly bother
It's first ones ahead and then it's t'other-
If you read the Jackson Daily News
And accept the editors gratis views,
You'll feel like saying, de Lawd have mercy"
For there's no one but Leroy Percy.
He's the plumed knight from the Delta's fold,
And he'll leave the others out in the cold;
In his speech a little sarcastic
And his manner somewhat bombastic,
But he nails his facts to the banner afoat
And will surely win-if he gets the vote.
Then there is another, Jim Vardaman,
The great White Chief of the yelling clan.
He's editor-in-chief of a self-made Issue"
That seems to lack both bone and tissue.
He makes his speeches all alone
With a martyrs plant and a poets tone;
He scars from the base tosthe mountain peaks
And uses metaphors of ancient Greeks.
His eloquence creates a spell
And always brings the needed yell.
III tell you, boys, look out for Jim,
He's loaded up and in the swim
But I'm much afraid on lection day
His gas will all be blown away.
But | don't read the Daily News,
And the Issues dope | never choose.

And for John Sharp a winning mate.
And now, to make this rhyming brief.
Suppose we drop the long-haired chief;
Drop him with his wit and logic;
Drop him with his negro "%'projic;'
Drop him with his peroration,
Hyperboles-exaggeration-
Then to be both fair and right,
Well also drop the Greenville knight.
He's small in stature, big in mind,
But ! kinder" think he's away behind.
And now we take one nobler, grander:
The matchless, peerless Alexander; 49, ~
For, best of all, he'll suit the masses, rT
And he won't ride on r. r. passes. @'%f
He will be true to trust reposed
And brighter shine when term is closed.
He is broad and very brajny
And needs not Bilbo or Dulaney.

Diseases of Men

If l have some decided and original
views on these diseases it is because l
have been continuously in the work for
SO years, and for rs years have devoted
my whole time to these different and
delicate dist asses.
l believe many cases of structure may
be cured with less harsh treatment than
they often receive. l believe this be-
cause l have demonstrated it again and
again.
I believe that SYPHILIS needs not
only the proper remedies, but careful,
intelligent methods and attention to
detail in order to cure and cure perma-
nently.
l believe that CHRONIC GONOR-
RHOEA causes more physical wrecks
than any other disease. l BELIEVE
THIS BECAUSE l KNOW. / believe
that nothing needs o scientific
methods in order to cure, and the man
who suffers KNOWS, TOO, that am
right.
I believe in straightforward advertis-
ing and honest business methods, COM
bired with conscientious treatment and
if you are in need of advice and will
appreciate that kind of service, l will
take pleasure in examining you free of
