Moving picture show promoters re-
ceived blow last Monday when the
United States Supreme Court decided
that moving pictures based upon the
scenes of copyrighted book, may con-
stitute an infringement Yi the copyright
on the book or reserved rights to dra-
matize.
The courts decision was announced
in contest over the copyright of Gen
Lew Wallace's famous .sBen Hur.'
The copyright was owned by Harper
Bros, book publishers. This company
granted to Klaw & Erlanger, of New
York, the sole right 81 producing a
dramatization of the story.
1t appears that the Kalem Company
employed writer to read the story and
write description of certain portions
of it and that from this moving picture
film was produced. The Federal courts
of New York held that the Kalem Com
pany was a contributory infringer, not
of the copyrighted book or drama, but
on the authors exclusive right to per-
form that dramatization. The Kalem
Company was enjoined from continuing
to produce or sell the films.

The following sensible and patriotic
editorial appears in the Grenada Senti-
mel of this week. The editor of the
Sentinel was one of Hon. G. II. Alex
ander's campaign managers, and he is
also a close friend of Goyernor-elect
Brewer. I The Sentinel well says that
''a vast majority of our fellow-citizens
have said that Vardaman should go to
the United States Senate, and he is GO
ing''. The Percy partisans should read
the Sentinel editorial, which follows:
sThere is nothing to be gained by
constantly repeating matters relative to
ex Gov. Vardaman's official conducl,
which were given all possible airing
before the August primary.
"We believe in making fast and
furious fight before the election, and we
also believe in acknowledging when you
are vanquished and taking your medi-
inc regardless of how bitter the dose is.
$50 far as we are personally concerned,
we do not carry animosities about elec-
ton contests, We believe much in the
olive branch. It is necessary in private
life; it is necessary in business; it is
necessary in politics and absolutely es-
sential in statecraft. Those that are
not good losers cannot be safely trusted
with leadership.
"The people tire, and very properly,
of a constant nagging or knocking at
anything. Those brethren of the press
that continue to hammer Vardaman
only serve to entrench him more thor
oughly in the confidence and the affec-
tions of his followers. An attack from
a supposed enemy will always hold a
family together. If there is nothing ia
| the sVardaman craze, the surest way
to dissipate it is to let it alone, This
talk Of his not being allowed to take his
seat is delusion, and continual
bombardment of him by his political
enemies in Mississippi will at once draw
TO him following in the United States
Senate that viii surprise those who car
see nothing but black spots on the ho-
rizon.
The man that would say that there
| is not some extraordinary merit in Mr..
Vardaman and that he is not chasac-
ter that wonderfully attracts and holds,

Postal Sayings Bank VIII Be Established il
New Orleans December is.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1a.-Post-
master General Hitchcock has made
good his promise Of last summer by or
dering that postal savings bank be
opened at New Orleans. He had in
tended to establish such bank there
much sooner, but change of post
masters made it inadvisable TO burden
the incoming official with the organlza-
ton of such an important auxiliary at a
time when he would be mastering the
details of his new Office. To-day's order
is the last for city Of the rank of New
Orleans. as all of the eetsrs have been
provided for. 1t provides that the open

is either not honest with himself or has
an awfully warped judgment. What
ever, if any, official derelictions he may
be guilty of, should, and doubtless will,
be looked after by the proper officials.
Some of our very closest friends and
some of the very best citizens of the
State are devoted adherents of Mr..
Vardaman. These are reasonable men,
and they think that they have good rea-
sons for their faith in him. No power
now could convince them otherwise.
Time is the only argument that can con-
vince them of their error, If there be
any.
$50 We say let US have political peace.
We are the same flesh and blood that
fought the battles of the past. We may
have strayed, but certainly the State
has not fallen beyond redemption. The
ills in our midst can not be righted by
constant elimination and recrimination.
To our mind the future looks bright for
our commonwealth, and the State needs
tie untiring efforts of her brainiest and
best men. Regardless of what may ap-
pear as temporary alterations, the peo-
pie are tired of academic leaders; they
want results. The leader will stay that

Judge in the State. The picture is mol
oyerdrawn. An examination of the
municipal history Of Mississippi since
the passageof the prohibition Law would
verify every assertion made against
statutory prohibition. Local option is
the only sensible solution of the prob
lem and is favored by the more popu-
lous counties and cities Of the State.
II remaius to be seen whether the rural
districts will be willing to adopt this
remedy against the blind tiger which is
at present demoralizing the people and
weakening all respect for law and order.

PROHIBITION AND 10
CAL OPTION.

] It is apparent and very evident tha
the next regular sitting Of the Missis-
sippi Legislature will witness the intro
duction of bill to repeal the statutory
prohibition law, in view of the fact that
prohibition is failure, breeds contempt
for the law, and its nom enforcement
tends to weaken the very fabric of the
law upon which rest our public institu-
tions. 1t has long ago been settled
question that local option was the just
and fairest measure in the premises,
and in the present time of existing evil
conditions would prove remedy, for
the blind tiger resort thriyes over the
/ State. The traffic still exists, non -regu-
lated, and the revenues are painfully
lacking
! Unless indications change and the
complexion of the next Legislature
should prove unpropitious, there is no
doubt bill for local option will at least
be introduced. Whether it will pass or
not just now remains to be seen.
On the subject of local option and
conditions as they exist in Mississippi
the Natchez News draws the following
accurate pen picture:
The agitation to repeal the present
statutory prohibition law is gaining mo-
mentum. Heretofore only the news
papers in the larger cities dared raise
their voice in defense of local option as
against prohibition and the blind tiger,
but now the papers in the smaller towns
and cities of the State are beginning to
see the light. That the smaller towns and
the country districts are better off with
out the saloon there is no doubt, owing
to the lack of police protection. Pro-
hibition does not stop drinking; it does
limit the sale of liquor in the smaller
communities where law breakers can be
easier watched and where the public
sentiment can be easily tested. In the
larger cities it has been found next to
impossible to enforce the law. The raids
and all other attempts are sporadical,
with view only to obtaining revenue
for the municipality, and every city in
Mississippi has had more blind tigers
than legitimate saloons in the days when
the sale of whiskey was carried on un-
der certain restrictions.
Another evil of the present blind tiger
system is that it breeds the spirit of
lawlessness; when men find in COM
munity that they can violate law with
impunity, it is not very long before
other laws also are violated; first such
as pertain to police regulations or the
general police laws of the State, then
infraction of the more important laws
becomes more common and convictions
rarer, until the time is reached when
life itself receives but scanty protection.
Judges become helpless, for in the ad-
ministration of justice they depend on
an antiquated jury system which has
| long since outlived its usefulness and
which commands no respect from the
law abiding element, but is dear to the
heart of the law breaker whose chances
| with this unstable "bulwark of our
liberties are much better than they
would be with the most incompetent

 An idea struck him. He would coax the bear on by feeding the lunch to him and until they should come to a friends house mile or two along the road. Then he would get a gun and shoot the old fellow.

Don't Attempt To
 Get Gay With A
 Fresh Wild Bear

A teamster in the employ of one of the big tanneries in the west had a laughable yet trying adventure with a bear while on his way from the woods with a load of bark. AS he emerged from the woods with his team he stopped to give the mules a brea thing spell and to eat his dinner, which he carried in tin bucket. He had scarcely opened his bucket and be- gun to eat when a bear came out of the woods on one side of the road, only two or three rods in the rear of the wagon. Bruin sauntered along, paying no attention to the team, but the teamster, desirous of seeing what the bear would do, threw bit of salt pork in his way. The bear stopped smelled at the pork and gulped it down greedily.
 Then the animal. noting the source of the morsel, came toward the wag- on and rose on his haunches as if to say that another bit of pork would prove accepts ble.
 The teamster laughed and tossed out a second piece, which bruin de- youred, and then he posed again. But the teamster wanted the rest of his dinner himself and paid no attention

 The next slice fell butter side down, and the bear ignored it. Boiled eggs and cheese fared the same. Bruin wanted pork. The teamster dealt this out in small bits, which failed to sat- isfy. and the bear was growing ugly and aggressive.
 At length the teamster saw his friend at work in field and called to him to run for his gun. The man man had a fair start, but he stumbled

full in appearance and enthusiasm, and
he sits in the governors chair at Con-
cord, an executive of all the people.
The dent that he made in the little
local machine on the rainy autumn
night of his nomination was merely
the beginning of his crushing blows
at the corrupt and seasoned political
oligarchy that had ruled the state for
years. In a year wnen republican
candidates throughout the eastern
states went down under a democratic
landslide, he was elected by a COM
Portable majority.
Now, the fact that Mr.. Bass is gov
ernor at an age when most men are
cutting their teeth in big politics is
not as important, perhaps, as the
larger meaning of his position as a
link between east and west in pro-
gressive republican thought. He has
made New Hampshire touch shoul-
der with oregon. To him, too, more
than to any other person, is due the
divorce of the railroad from politics.
