MISSISSIPPI HAS
A WARM CAMPAIGN
Next Tuesday the Democrats
Will Hold Statewide
Primary Election.
National News Association

Jackson Miss, July 27.-One of the
most spirited political campaigns that
Mississippi has seen in years entered
upon its final stage today. Next Tues
day a Statewide Democratic primary
will be held for the Endorsement of a
candidate for United States senator
and the nomination of candidates for
governor and other state officers to
be chosen at the next election. In this
state the Democratic nomination is
equivalent to election. Public inter-
est centers almost wholly in the con-
test for the senatorship. Senator Lee
roy Percy, whose term will expire ia
1913. is candidate for reelection.
His principal opponent in the fight for
the toga is Ex-Governor James K Ward
man. one of. the most aggressive and
picturesque politicians that Mississip-
ri has turned out in many years. c.
Fl. Alexander is the third entrant in
the senatorial race. Alexander has
developed a considerable following
but most unbiased onlookers are of
the opinion that the real fight will be
between Vardman and Percy. with q
close finish and the probability that
a second primary will be necessary to
4 choice Earl Brewer. a prominent
lawyer Of C1arksdale. will be nomfnat-
cd for governor without opposition.

EARLHAM DESIRES
WORKING CAPITAL
College Wants to Eliminate
the Necessity Of Secur-
ing Cash Loans.

In the August "Earlham College Bull
letin," to be issued Friday, there Is
a very interesting and complete sum-
mary of Earlhams successful cam
paign to lift it's debt. In conclusion,
under the title of Facing the Future. :"
the Bulletin" says:
For more than three years this
debt has stood like stone wall in the
way of Earlham's financial and there
fore educational progress. 1t was fear
ed by some that 1t might remain an
obstacle for years and affect the vital
ity OF the College But the first import
ant step in the process of its removal
has been taken. Already numerous
subscribers are paying their pledges.
All pledges are to be paid not later
than September ! in cash or note bear
ing per cent interest When this Is
done the rubbish of the demolished
wall will have been thoroughly cleared
away. Just as soon as the money is
paid in notes are taken up and interest
is stopped. 1t is believed that the pay
ments will soon all be made and that
there may he a surplus which can be
used as capital in the administration.
Heretofore, throughout Earlham's his.
tory she has had no working capital
and has been obliged to borrow mon.
ey for this purpose. 1t is to be hoped
that in the future Earlham may be
able to pay cash for all she buys. and
that she will not be obliged to borrow
the cash. During the year just closing
every cent of board and tuition due
the college has been paid in cash or
its equivalent. With the exception oil
a $1,000 loan for sixteen days. not q
cent of money has been borrowed for
administrative purposes. Even the
above loan was made necessary Only
because previously notes had been Ia
ken up from current cash.
The next great financial problem for
Earlham is greatly to increase the en-
dowment fund. If Earlham is to hold
her place in the educational world she
must have million-dollar endowment
Her friends must never lose sight o1
this fact, and the Board of Trustees
has resolved to enter soon upon the
endowment campaign.

TO DIE ON GALLOWS
Reads Bible, Smokes Cigar
cites, His Last Minutes.
tNational News Association,

Oklahoma City, Okla. July 27-
Spending his few remaining hours of
life in reading the Bible and smoking
cigarettes, John Henry Prather, a
young negro. is awaiting the call to the
gallows tomorrow morning. The near
approach Of the day of execution and
the knowledge that there is little or
no probability of a respite have caused
no noticeable change in the demeanor
of the condemned man.
Prather and four other young ne
groes were convicted of the murder of
w. H.. Archie in this city last April.
Prather has never denied firing the
fatal shot. saying he committed the
murder after he and his companions
had robbed Archie so he could be
liable to say he had murdered a white
man." The execution of the other
four negroes has been delayed by the
appeal of their cases to the high court.

bill, which met defeat ~ to So, only
one insurgent voting for it, Brown of

reconsider the vote was then carried,
the insurgents and Democrats voting
solidly for q reconsideration.

(National News Association
Washington, July 27.-The Presi-
dents stinging message on the Alas
kan controversy failed to put Q quiet
us on the Controller Bay imbroglio.
Clifford Pinchot, former chief forester
comes out today in tart reply, declar-
ing the Presidents defense shows how
hard it is to make good excuse for
bad mistakes, and that Taft leaves
the root of the matter wholly untouch-
ed. Pinchot maintains that a mile and
a half of harbor front taken up by Ry-
an does effectually control the valua-
BILE portion of the channel and says
the general public will agree with
Roosevelt that these terminal lands
ought to have beer kept in public
hands.
Pinchot declares positively that Ry-
an had the benefit of advance informa-
ton that enabled him to grab the land
ahead of all possible competitors, and
points out that the President in deny.
ing the secrecy charge fails to mention
that on the day he signed the order
opening the lands and notified the
press in Washington, Ryan's surveyors
were in Alaska ready to begin sur
vey. Pinchot saye the omission of the
customary thirty days notice that
lands would be open gave Ryan what
he wanted.
