you throw paper wads at the

and is used to connect the VERT
school ma'am to the noun boy.
This is a compound sentence, Of
which boy is the subject and
switch IS the object. First per.
son, singular number and awful
case.
"A school ma'am is different
from a boy. a boy wears pants
and a school ma'am wears her
hair banged all over her fore
head. She puts paint on her

and take her home. Ma says a

democrats should win the next
presidency, but we must first
get a candidate the business
world will take up and fight for
his election. There has always
been a large element of senti-
ment in the democratic party
and not enough Of business of
late years to appeal to the mater
ial interests Of the country.
To win, any party must have
the backing of the business peo-
pie, and to this class Gov. Har-
mon, more than any other of the
democratic candidates, appeals.
He has brought about a complete
reformation in the financial af-
fairs of the state of Ohio and in
doing so has displayed superior
executive ability. He is a con-
sentative, and has not gone off
after the fads and fancies that
some peole who call themselves
progressives in both parties, are
advocating. He has the conf
dence of the same class who
must be relied on to direct the
affairs of the party and win the
victory, if victory is won. Not
withstanding these qualifications
he has not met with the support
that a man of his character de-
serves. and we fear that a man
who will prove to be weaker be-
fore the country in the Novem-
Der election will win the Balti-
more nomination.

GOVERNOR BREWER AND
THE PARDONiNG POWER.

Some of Gov. Brewers critics
are greatly distressed because
] the governor has seen fit to par
! don a negro woman in Lincoln
county who had become notorious
in operating a blind tiger. It
seems that this woman, like all
who engage in the illegal whls-
key traffic, finally came to grief.
She was fined sums aggregatlng
81. 500 and given a heavy time
sentence as we'll
After the woman had served
eight months of her sentence
and paid about $3.50 of her fine,
some of the good people OF
Lincoln county petitioned the
governor to pardon the tigress.
The governor hesitated, but
looked into the case in his usual
p~ainstaking way and then de-
cided to grant the pardon upon
the condition that the woman
leave the state permanently.
ANY unprejudiced person will
readily see that in granting this
pardon he brought a happy rid
dance to the people OF Lincoln
county and the state. Certainly
no political advantage could &C
crue from such a pardon. The
negro woman had no influential
friends. She was a bad charac-
ter and the governor did a wise
and prudent thing in getting RID
of her for good and for all.
1t is a fortunate thing for
Mississippi that she has in Earl
Brewer a governor who is big
enough and brave enough to dc
what is just to high and low
alike. Governor Brewer will not
buse the pardoning as he viii
not abuse any other power com
mitted to him. A man OF grea,
heart he instinctively detests
any form of persecution. HI
stands for law, order and temper
ance, but he is considerable, JUS
and merciful.
Gov. Brewer is steadily win
ming his way as a great execu
tive. He is a patriotic citizen
He is a patriotic governor.
