THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL and
Ills ASSOCIATES.

It is reported from 1aekson that
Hon. Ross Collins. the Attorney
General elect of Mississippi, has
offered to ex-Attorney General
Frank Johnston the position OF
FRS. Assistant Attorney General
and that the latter has accepted the
place. Capt. Johnston is in every
way qualified to fill the position
with great credit and to the best
interest of the State.
We learn that Hon, Ney Will
Iiams, Representative in the Legis-
lature from Kinds county, is an
applicant for the position of Second
Assistant Attorney General. Mr..
Williams is capable and worthy,
and no doubt Mr.. Collins will give
his application favorable considera.

Modern Gun Controversy.

washington. Aug. THE
ancient, but good-natured rivalry
between the army and navy artil.
lerymen is evident just at present
in their talk about the probable
effect of the equipment of the flu,
ture battleship with guns of IA
inch calibre. The statement attrIb.
uted to former Chief Naval Con.
structor Bowles, that a feet armec
with these guns could stay out o1
range and safely destroy American
seacoast Notifications and cities,
has stirred the army contingent
who are firmly of the opinion that
no naval fleet would ever dare tc
come within the range of guns Of
such splendid defense as exist al
New York or Boston. or, indeed,
at any of the approaches to com.
mercial ports.
What are the naval gunners
going to shoot at when their ships
are lying fourteen or fifteen miles
off the coast?' inquired one of the
army artillery officers. Don't
they know that the curvature of the
earth at that distance is about $50
feet? Think they can shoot around
a corner? No battleship has q
mast high enough to enable a look
out to see the coast at that dis
tance, and how are the gunners
going to hit anything they cannot
see?
Again. to get the range at fif-
teen miles the gun would have to
be elevated about twenty degrees.
No turret yet built would admit Of
that elevation, nor would any gun
carriage or ships deck stand the
strain of the tremendous downward
recoil Of a gun Of that weight when
SO elevated.

LEADERS "GREATER
BROOKHAVEN' EDITION.
Will Be q Success and One Of the Best
Ever issued 10 This Section
Of the State.

The Greater Brookhaven Edi-
tion" of the Semi Weekly Leader,
for which material is now being
gathered, is the most ambitious
project of Its kind ever undertaken
by d publisher of this city. The
paper, which will be devoted as its
name indicates. to the upbuildlnQ
of Brookhaven. will contain pro.
fusely illustrated articles in which
every phase of the commercial, in.
dustrial and social activities Of the
community will be treated al
length: and will, when completed,
constitute a precedent-making ad-
vertisement of the advantages and
opportunities of this city. In ad.
dition to the large circulation OF
The Leader in this portion of Mis-
sissippi, hundreds of copies will be
sent to all parts of the United
States, calling the attention OF
prospective home-seekers and in
vestors to the splendid natural re-
sources and opportunities of Brook
haven and Lincoln county.
Since the compilation of material
for such an edition entails an
enormous amount of work, The
Leader is not yet prepared to an
nounce the precise date of publica-
ton. The preparatory work. how
ever, is progressing rapidly. Facts
and figures concerning Brook
haven's resources are being gather
ed, cuts and engravings are being
made, and every possible step is
being taken to make the paper an
accurate and comprehensive reflex
of the present conditions in the
city.
The Leader is gratified by the
cooperation which it is receiving
from the citizens. Not only are
Brookhaven people generally assist
ing cheerfully in the work. but the
merchants of the city, well aware
of the editions value as an adver-
tising medium. are according the
need of patronage without which
this special number would be dis
astrous undertaking.

Two U. S. Senators to be Elected
in 1915.

The following is a little out of
date since the Primary ;ebut will be
interesting and helpful to our read
ers:
The campaign, which will be
waged for the election of United
State Senators in 1915. will be an
interesting one inasmuch as it will
be necessary to elect two senator's.
Senator Percy is now filling the
unexpired term Of the late A. j..
McLaurin, which expires March A !,
1913. His successor will be elected
for six years and will serve until
March 4, 1919.
Senator John Sharp Williams.
took his seat March A. 1911. and
his term will expire March 4, 1917.
The legislature which will serve in
1912-l3-l4 and Is, will elect the
senator to serve from March A, 1918
to March A, 1919. The legislature
serving -17-l8 and '19 will be
called upon to select two senators,
as it is necessary for the legislature
to ratify the action Of the primary
election. preceding the session Of
the legislature. Therefore the
terms Of Office expiring in 1917 and
1919 will have to be filed by the
legislaturestof 1916 to 1920. and ID
order to do this the primary Of 1915
must make its recommendation to
the legislature following. If the
selection Of one senator would be
made in the primary Of 1915. and
the.other In that OF 1919. The sue
cessfnl candidate 10 1919. would
have to await the confirmation Of

appealed to the throng 10 close the
chapter of the campaign, put the
future before themselves, and uni te
in an effort to bring Mississippi in
to her own again.
His speech was declared by those
who heard him throughout the
eighteen months of his campaign
as a masterpiece of impromptu
oratory, and thousands rushed up
on the stand to grasp his hand
when he bade farewell to the null
titude.
Hon. Theo. G. Bilbo, who will
bear through lite, marks Of the
recent attack upon him, made an
address that was revelation to
the crowd. He thanked Governor
Vardaman and his friends fol- the
victory which was attained against
great odds. He said that he saw
the truth on one side and political
machinery on the other, and that
he fought for the people for what
he believed right. He made a
slight reference to the secret eau
Gus, and declared that the vote of
the people vindicated him. He
appealed to all his hearers to let
the battle stand behind, and that
all unite and stand together for the
State. He invited an investigation
of his record and urged the people
to watch his deeds and actions as
their servant as Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Senator Bilbo's vote has
swelled to 75,080.
Altogether, it was day and a
night which politically speaking.
will pass into history as the most
remarkable in the States history.
There was no trace of yainglorious
boastfulness nor a note of discord
in any of the many happy address
es. The burden of all was that the
battle of the ballots had definitely
determined the issues before the
people. and that the verdict Of the
majority was conclusive and bind
ing.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ELKO co.
CAPITAL VERSUS LABOR

At a recent address before the
Chicago Bar association, Judge
Francis E. Baker ,of the United
States circuit court clearly defined
his position relative to capital and
labor so far as the matter of
injunction is concerned. He said
in part:
Without the laid Of any statute
the courts have long since become
agreed that workingmen have the
lawful right to organize for the
purpose of securing improvements
in the terms and conditions of labor,
and to quit work and to threaten
to quit work as means of compel
ling or attempting to compel
employers to accede TO their
demands.
The capitalist asserts his right to
an unobstructed access to the lapor
market 80 as to get his work done
and thus free himself from the
demands of his opponents. The
workmen assert their right to an
unobstructed access to the labor
market so as to keep others out of
their places.
The sympathetic strike. like the
spite fence, is not the beneficial
use Of co-equal right, but is the
uturpation of the power to punish.
This infliction of harm is unjusti-
fable unless the harm is only the
harm that naturally and directly
flows from the good faith exercise
of the competitive right. That is
the loss is to this business that the
employer suffers by reason of the
striking employees presenting
their side of the controversy to the
other employees so that they freely
and of their own judgment decline
to work for TIE employer, must be
suffered by him without comp lai mt.
Therefore, persuasion and picket
ing in order to learn who the new
employers are to whom to present
their cause are lawful and all judy
ments to the contrary are wrong,
l believe. But the use of for &c or
intimidation to keep others away
against their will is unjustifiable
because it deprives the employer
Of his co-equal right of access to a
free labor market.
But concerted pressure by the
strikers to coerce members of So
ciety who are not directly con-
cerned in the pending controversy
to make raids on the rear-the
secondary boycott-is wrong, not
only because such action is not
within the immediate field of
competition, but because theI direct,
the primary attack is upon society
itself.
One set of rules should govern
the action of both contestants. If
the sympathetic strike is a foul
blow, the sympathetic lockout is
equally foul. If the boycott is
held to be an attack in the rear
under like circumstances a black
list is an attack in the rear"
