Where Intelligence and Modasty Meet.

Newton Record.
Neither Vardaman or his support
ers have ever felt it necessary to
proclaim that they had monopoly
on all the brains and money as cllim-
ed by many of the common causers,
in order to win. However, there is
about as much intelligence on the
side supporting Vardaman as on the
other, but they have enough nodes
ty and good breeding to not be boast
ing about it. They are willing to let
all the people speak at the primaries
and ebide the consequences. Brains
and money may have defeated Varda-
man in the Legislature, but see if
there are not enough brains and hon.
esty on the part of the whole people
to elect him by the largest majority
a man ever got for Office in Missis-
sippi.

For the benefit of those of our
friends whom it may be pulling or
troubling, that the Herald remains
firm in its advocacy OF Mr.. Varda-
man S cause,-we wish to state that
there has not so far been offered or
developed nor do we expect to see Of
fered or developed single argument
foundeded on principle, which we had
not preconsidered, and definitely
disposed of whatsoe YER claims to
logic it might have with our reason
ing faculties. The campaign Of char
acter-destruction which his enemies,
have lnaugurated bas assumed some
what unexpected proportions, which
involve as much the integrity of its
promoters as Mr. Vardaman S, but
the guiding motive behind it all is
well understood now as we under
stood it in advance.

Woodville Republican.
The Mississippi Press Association,
which held its annual session in
Brookhaven last week, enjoyed one
of the most delightful meetings in its
history and the people of Brook haven
are to be congratulated upon the
selection of its officers. Mr.. A. G..
Anderson will make a worthy sue
essor to the retiring president, Mr..
A. e. Fitzgerald, and Messrs. A. j..
Herman and Jas. Faulk, the two VICE
presidents, will fill the Office credit
ably in succession. We are glad to
see that the next meeting will be
held in the historic city of Natchez,
as we are assured of a royal welcome
there.

The unearthing of matter calcu-
lated to damage Vardaman S political
fortune is for the express design Of
showing him out Of the way OF his OPP
ponents in the path to the high Office
which they in common with him
covet. Its net cleansing of the
Augean stables or based on patriotic
motives to ventilate and discourage
graft, though they would like well to
have that impression sink into the
minds of the democratic voters of
good old Mississippi. When Joe
Folk went after the guilty ST. Louis
administration for grating, he did
so with the full intent to develop
their rottenness and employ such
evidence to put stripes upon them, in
which worthy effort he succeeded in
the face of tremendous opposition.
The prosecutors OF Mr.. Vardaman
only want to secure his political de-
feat as they realize he hash done
things for which he should be made
to don stripes.

Four cities were contesting for the
convention in 1912, viz: Oxford,
Greenwood, Natchez and Gulfport.
Natchez won easily after we were
told about an all day and night free
trip on the steamboat Betsy Ann
that would be provided US.
Late that afternoon we boarded a
belated train for New Orleans. TRAY
cling down we noticed that after the
Louisiana line was struck the porter
came through and took up the regu-
lar drinking cups at the coolers, as
they have the law on in that state
requiring the individual sanitary
cup. The Butcher came through the
car rafting bunch of these done in
Aluminium trying to sell everybody
one. We had one already so he did't
get to touch us.
Arriving at New Orleans we we're
steered to that famous old hos telry,
the by St. Charleshotel w. B. Rob-
ertson of the Picayune, and there we
fell into the hands of the combined
-ditorial stats of the three great dali
les OF the Crescent city: The Times
Democrat, Picayune and States, who
sat us down to a splendid banquet at
which speeches played some part.
Next day the Progressive Union
gave us luncheon in the roof-gar-
den of the Grunewald Hotel where
they were at the same time
entertaining the officers of the U. S.
Battleship Idaho, here speech-ma
ing was again a part of the Menu.
That afternoon we were given a de-
lightful ride up and down the river
front on the U. S. Revenue Cutter
Winona, and prominent New Or
leanians were on board to point out
their splendid wharfage facilities etc.
Then we were landed aboard the
ldado and went through it, but the
description given two years ago of
the battleship Mississippi which we
viewed at Natchez covers the Idaho
pretty well as they are sister ships,
and ominous looking fighting crafts
with their huge frowning guns. On

about an acre round and flatroofed
and twelve stories high, towering

The other day we read the follow
ing letter printed in city newspa-
per: Dear Editor: | am a good
young man who always had plenty
of girl friends, and who has recently
come to the city. Now my tempera-
ment is such that l must associate,
but do not know any girls and have
no friends in the city"
Thousands OF our young people
leave our country homes every year
to live and to work in our larger cit
les. They may not be wise in taking
the step but the ambition of youth is
deaf and blind 10 saner advice. One
of the greatest Inconvenience and
temptation is that they are strang-
ers among strangers. Making friends
with anybody and everybody is both
dangerous and foolish, especially so
in large city. There are too many
rogues and gilded dens of immortality
in cities for the inexperienced young
man or woman to prOmiscously Sc
lect company and places of amuse-
ments. Before they know it they
may be entangled in some vice
blighting forever their purity and
honesty.
We would sound this note of warn
ing because of the youths that have
left or are thinking of leaving our
own community. While at home YOU
knew with whom you could safely
associate. You had also many friends
to advise you. That is all different
away from home among strangers.
Without preaching sermon, but
only seeking to give wholesome adj
vice, we would say that the safest
way to become acquainted with the
best people is to connect yourself
with some church. Go to the Sum-
day school and join the Bible class.
In this way you will meet the most
moral young men and ladies OF that
locality. Inform the head OF the

W0man'S Work,

The quiet faithful way in which a
woman often of superior intellect, and
decided talent for higher things, will
dish wash her life away for her hus-
band and chilren, is marvel of pa
tient endurance. Here the seryitude
of woman is the heaviest. No soon
or is her work done that it requires
to be done over again. Men take
contracts of work on them, finish
them, and they are over for all time.
The prospect Of ending them and
drawing pay for the labor is allur-
ing. AID woman S work holds no
such promise. She washes on Mon
day after Monday the same garments
until there is no more of them to
wash; then they are replenished by
new ones like old, and the rubbing
and wringing goes on until the worn
out hands are folded for their eter-
nal and only rest. She mcnds stock
ings, with tireless fidelity, week az
ter week, and year after year. Ety.
cry morning the same rooms are to
be put in order, only to be in the
widest disorder by evening. The
same stockings, the same washing
the same cleaning and cooking in
endless rotation, which if done
promptly and properly, leaves no
time for reading and self-culture
which. aside from the pleasure it af-
fords the woman, is the only means
of fitting ones self for the intellectu
al culture OF children.
What wonder that women are not
thinkers, or that the daughters of
successive generations are vapid, un-
cultured creatures, incal able of form
ing an opinion on the most import
ant subjects of human consideration.
There is too little brightness in
the lives of women. They have too
little help in their domestic occupa
tions.
