CLARK AND PRESIDENCY.

Discussion OF the availability OF
Hon. Champ Clark for the presidential
nomination next year-a discussion
necessarily tentative and therefore
lacking in practical interest and i'm
portance-calls to mind that but one
speaker of the American congress ever
reached the White House-James X.
Polk; and he became president in
spite of the fact that he had been
speaker, and not because of it. At the
same time. the great majority of
speakers have frankly had presidential
aspirations practically all of them, in
fact. excepting Judge Crisp and Col
Henderson, who were born i'm foreign
countries Crisp in England and
Henderson in Scotland, for which rea-
son they were not eligible for presi-
Dental honors. Mr.. Clark will thus
not be the first speaker to be talked
of for the presidency.
Notwithstanding the record of po-
litical history. however, the speaker
ship, even down to the present time,
has usually been regarded as a step
ping stone to the presidency, and
many men have endeavored to use it
for such a purpose. The case of Polk
needs but a passing allusion. He was
exceedingly unpopular as speaker, and
the only man to leave that office so
far as the records show without re-
ceiving the thanks of the house for
mally expressed by resolution. 1t was
Andrew Jackson who made Polk pres
ident and Jackson had his hands full,
after Folks failure as speaker.
1t was in the ffty-frst congress
that Reed and Mckinley had their his
toric struggle for the speakership.
Reed finally won. Some friend was
talking to him on the night of his
victory, and remarked that he had
made Mckinley president. Reed want
ed to know what he meant. The
friend replied that Reed would be
compelled to make Mckinley chair
man Of the ways and means commit
tee. II was certain that new tariff
law was to be enacted. That law,
Reed was told, would send Mckinley
to the White House, Reed, as predict
ed, did make Mckinley chairman of
the ways and means committee That
committee reported n tariff bill which
congress made into law. That law
defeated the republican
party, and il drove Mckinley out of
congress, but only to make him gov
ernor Of Ohio. From the governorship
he went to the presidency, and very
largely because public sentiment had
changed on the question of the Nc
Kinley tariff law.
Mr.. Blaine was the real choice of
the republican party for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1892, but he was de-
feated by the vote Of the delegates
from the southern states, which was
cast solidly for President Harrison,
a candidate for denomination.
But assuming a successful career
as speaker for Mr.. Clark, there are
many men who believe that he will
come upsin 1912 at the true psyche
logical moment, for him.

The highest duty of an editor is to
battle with wrong. This, OF course,
brings him in conflict with wrong
doors and they are apt to show their
spite in various ways. 1t is quite
common for the thin skinned or
wounded to rush Into the Office and
shout Stop my paper! This class
is pointedly shown up in the follow
ing fashion: A certain man hit his
toe against pebble, and fell head
long to the ground. He was veXed,
and under influence of anger and sell
sufhciency he kicked mother earth
right saucily. With impeltnrbable
gravity, he looked to see the earth
itself disso we'd and come to naught.
But the earth remained, and only
his poor foot was injured IN the en-
counter. This is the way of man.
AD article in the newspaper touches
him in weak spot, and forthwith he
sends to stop his paper. With great
complacency he looks to see the
crash, when he finds he only hit his
toe against world that does not
perpetually feel the shock, and in
lures no one but himself.

Our esteemed and distinguished
friend, Congressman Harrison, is al
ready making himself heard from,
following in the footsteps OF his pre-
deceasor. Having had hardly time to
cut his first tooth in Congress, he
has already introduced two bills. the
first providing for the holding of
federal court IN Hattiesburg and
seeking an appropriation for the e.
rection of a suitable court building
there, and the other asks for an APP
propiation of $l5, 900 for the estab-
lishment of fish cultural station at
Biloxi. Our friend generally secures
the things he goes after and this will
prove no exception.

Hauling Over Bad Roads Heavy Tax.

Clarksdae Register.
There is more interest in good roads
to-day IN Mississippi than ever be-
fore.
We have already spoken Of local
interest on the subject, an interest,
however, that has not taken tangible
shape as fast as it ought to. We read
in a Jackson newspaper the other
day about the forming of a good road
association for Kinds county.
Advocates of road improvement in
that county are pointing to the re-
suits of road improvement in Wash
ington county.
in the latter location land values
have increased nearly 100 per cent in
three years, since road improve
ment plan was pushed. They have
500 miles of good roads in that coun
ty accomplished at a cost of less than
500, 600, by the drag system, which
gives level road that can be repair
ed without great difficulty.
it seems strange that for so many
years the farmers were so Indifferent
to road improvement. A poor road
is tax on every farm along its lin
it's. 1t costs two or three times as
much to haul load Of any kind OF
farm products over poor road as
over good one.

Good Supervisors Imperative Need.

Picayune Item.
Too much can't be said touching
the necessary qualifications of mem
bers of the Board of Supervisors, and
especially should thorough considera
ton be given just at this trifle when
we are to select q member for anoth-
er four-yea term. Honest, efficient
and energetic men are needed in all
offices, bat to be a member OF this
board, in community just develop
ing, we should have a man well-root-
ed IN business experience sound in
Judgment and strong in will power.
When we have elected a., board of
this type, Vbacxed by principles true
to their oaths, our county will be
safe. The routine business of the
board ALWAYS requires these oualifi-
cations, but In our counties in south
Mississippi there are special public
matters that should have the atten-
ton of the board, hence the vast i'm
portance of careful selection.

BIND Suit Decided In Edwards Favor.

A decision was handed down this
week by the State Supreme Court
which sustalns the position taken by
State Treasurer Geo. Edwards, that
the some $12, 600 interest in conten-
ton on the $500, 600 of bonds sold
since the adjournment OF the last
LEGISLATURE, could not be paid as
to do so would be contrary to stat
ute which requires that they be sold
at par, and this interest involved a
period of time elapsing f.om the
date of issuance of the bonds and the
time of actual sale and realization OF
the money therefrom by the state,
In simplified language the financiers
demanded so called premium or
discount which TO make face was
reckoned by figuring interest for
money over period in which it had
not been furnished and so was lost
TO the use of the state. 1t seems
such has been practice in financial
circles. We are glad our high court
has set down on it so far as Missis-
sippi bonds are concerned, and do
not apprehend the state suffering
much in the financial world for tax
inosa position which merely requires
that her Taper be not III dcrsold, and
that interest can not be back-collect-
ed. but must run with the time from
which money is rendered up in ex-
change for the bond. This decision
of tbe Supreme Court will do some
thing toward restoring public coLfi.
derice in Mississippi in the several
avenues of state government, which
have been so shamefully perverted
by the present admins ration to
serve small political purposes OF re-
yenge.
