The Editor Called Down

To please everybody is something that
even an editor cannot do No matter
what he may write he will find critics
sometimes many and then again, but
few 1t is impossible for him to express
himself to have his words received with
OUT criticism. That is true, whether he
writes an item of a local nature or has
an editorial Of general character-there
will be those who are not in accord with
what he says.
This was forciblv brought to our
attention by a note from a subscriber
down in Massachusetts, who takes us to
do for saying a complimentary word
editorially on the recent anniversary of
the Admiral's birthday. He handles the
matter with ungloved hands and while
he mildly chides us for what we said
he takes occasion to do up the Admiral
in unabridged form. Here is the criticism:
This gives me an opportunity to mild
" Chde you for your effusive editorial
on Dewey. Here is a man equipped with
such guns that at the battle of Manila
he could locate his ships out of range of
any of the Spanish guns and, at his own
time and own convenience, could batter
to pieces the old Spanish hulks with no
more danger to himself his men or his
ships than had he been ten miles farther
away, and he wins the battle of Manila.
He comes here acclaimed a great hero.
The people, in their enthusiasm, present
him house. which he promptly tries to
give away, and perhaps does give away,
to his wife, who is several times a mil
lionaire [ have been told that he did
not even visit his brother when at Mont
pelier, and that he did not attend his
brothers funeral; and this is the man
whom you compare, in spirit, to Paul
Jones. Well, | am not editing your pa
per, and probably l have no business to
butt in, but | must confess that | was
surprised. Most people with whom l
talk call him snob, with a good record,
but with mighty little of the Paul Jones
blood in his veins"
This is severe arrangement of'the
Hero of Manila Bay" it must be ad-
mtted by all-eyen those who criticise
his actions since that memorable event.
We would not be understood as APPROX
ing of all his private acts. We do think
that he has been somewhat Indifferent
to affairs in his native state, and pos
sibly to his kith and kin, yet, in spite of
all this Admiral Dewey made a record on
that May morning that rebounds to his |
credit, as we'll as to the honor of the |
greatest nation on the face of the earth. |
In connection with that achievement, |
not, with what has occurred since, will |
have served their country well, and it is |
along that line, rather than what he
has done since then that we attributed |
the praise we did in our recent editorial. |

EIGHBcRS.

All the grasping and the greed
of this world come from not re-
garding our fellows as our neigh
bors. One doesn't trample his
neighborS. He works with them
to common end. We must
come TO look on all the world as
our neighborS. We must do
away with the idea of classes.
There isn't any justification for
class lines in America. They are
unjust. unwholesome. upright
eous and un-American. Why
should we have class lines here
in this country and one man de-
spise another just because he
has been lucky enough to make
a little more money? A man has
some right to be proud of what
he makes with his own hands
and his own brains, but he
hasn't any business putting on
airs over what he is merely try
ing to spend.-Jacob a. Riis.

WOULD INCREASE
THE ENDOWMENT
DR.. Holloman Thinks The Endowment
Fund OF MiIlsaps College Should
Be Made Larger.

Jackson, Miss, July 14.-Dr. r. B.
Holloman, member of the Board of
Trustees of Millsaps College, offers
the suggestion that an increase of
100000 should be made in the endow-
ment fund of the institution in order
to meet its growing needs.
Beyond doubt, Millsaps College has
grown with more rapidity than any
UNCONVENTIONAL college in the state
within the past few years, Shortly
prior to the retirement of Bishop W.
B. Murrah as president the college
endowment was increased 500, 900,
the amount being raised chiefly
through the efforts of Rev. T. w.
Lewis, who was named as educational
commissioner by the two Methodist
conferences of the state.
DR.. Holloman suggests that the Sun
day schools of the state should take
the matter in hand. There are 1000
Sunday schools in the two confer
ences, with total enrolment of fully
10000 children, and he believes that
at least third of the amount desired
could be raised through these schools,
and the remainder by subscriptions
from the leading Methodists of the
state.
President Hull has recommended
the establishment of a chair of Bibli-
cal Literature at the College, and It
is expected that this recommendation
will be acted upon by the board of
trustees at an early date.

Many inquiries have been made ie-
garding the composition of the anoint-
ing oil used at the coronation of King
George. And as many answers as
queries have been given, all varying
widely. AS matter of fact this oil
consists of mixture of Sesame and
olive oils perfumed with roses, orange
flowers, jasmine, cinnamon flowers of
benzoin, musk civet and ambergris,
and its composition is founded upon
that used in the seventh century.
