Wilson forces and will soon make pub
lie announcement to that effect. ac-
cording to a statement of the Wilson
National Progressive Republican
League. LaFollette is not only tower
of strength in his own state, but a ma
tional character who has heretofore
stood high in the councils of the Re-
publican party. He was the original
Progressive Republican candidate for
the presidency. but after he had or
ganized their ranks Roosevelt butted
in. stole his thunder and swiped most
of his following, an action that gained
for Roosevelt the displeasure of the
red-headed senator from Wisconsin,
aud made Roosevelt's nomination at
Chicago an impossibility. Neither
could LaFollette align himself with
Taft, the Republican nominee, and be
true to the principles for which he had
fought. Opposing Taft for the nomi-
nation and preaching doctrines directly
opposite to those of that gentleman,
he has found that Wilson is the only
candidate who represents his ideas OF
government, and while Wilson is the
candidate of the party he has salways
fought, he finds that he is. the only one
he can coscientiously support. In sup
porting Wilson Senator LaFollette. does
not renounce his claim to being Re-
publican. In fact he considers that
his party has no legitimate candidate.
Taft he regards not onlyfas man who
secured his nomination by questionable
methods, but as one who does not re-
present the true doctrines and wishes
of the great majority of his party.
Roosevelt is not only distasteful to
him personally, but he does not regard
him as a true progressive, but rather
as a man whose ambition for place
and power outreaches his desire to be
of value to his country, and whose
election would greatly endanger the
welfare of the nation. Therefore he
has announced that he will support
Wilson, and in doing so will carry
big strength with him to the support
of the Democratic nominee. Clarion

"Of all the material affairs OF the
country at present. says Thomas Mel
son Page, the author, 1.-The improve
ment of the public roads seems to me
the most important and farreaching.
Every improvement of our roads is a
direct increase in the value of our
property and a direct assistance toward
the improvement, physically, morally,
and mentally, of our people. 1t is not
too much to say that in the Southern
portion of this country we are fifty
years behind at least part OF the
North in this matter of roads, and we
are 200 years behind Europe, at least
that portion of Europe over which /
have Travelled, extending from the
Northern fiords of Norway down to the
Southernmost points of Italy and
Spain. Our people need to be educat-
ed in this matter of good roads as
much as on any other matter IN the
world. 1t takes long time to estab-
hsh a new idea in the minds of great
conservative population, but this new
idea is taking root among our people
and will in time become established.
The new idea of farming is being in
troduced which is already increasing
materially the productivity Of the soil
and the knowledge of our farming pop
uation as to the value of improved
methods, and it is as certain as any
other law OF nature that in time the
Improvement of the public roads will
come. The only question is whether
we shall allow this improvement to
be postponed until our generation are
all dead and buried or whether we
shall bring this improvement in our
own time and get the benefits of it
whether we shall use our knowledge
and our opportunities to give to the
rising generation throughout the coun-
try the benefits which come directly
from a great system Of good roads
opening the way to enlightenment and
comfort of all kinds or whether we
shall leave them to suffer from the
want of such a system and possibly
even from the want of knowledge that
such improvement is essential. .

BY a recent ruling from the office in
the attorney generals department,
made by Assistant Attorney General
Clayton, it is held that the members
of the Board of Supervisors of any
county may draw, if the eXigencies
demand it, as much as 5000 annually
for their services, and the ruling seems
to be thoroughly warranted by the
statutes. As we understand. this six
hundred dollars may be drawn as fol-
lows: $500 per diem for attending
meetings of the board, 5000 for extra
ordinary services, such as the inspect
ing and laying out of new roads, in
specting bridges, $50 ex-otficio services
and $50 for inspecting roads. 1t was
evidently the intent of the last legls-
lature to pass an act stating exactly
what additional should be allowed the
board, but the act passed failed to re-
peal former statute, hence the limi-
tation reaching S600.-Grenada Sem

Ledger.

A warden in one of the state prisons
in the United States, in an address be-
fore members of the Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce, recently stated that
police and sheritfs persecute paroled
convicts and do not give the former
prisoners an honest chance to reform.
He stated that anyone directly ac-
quainted with the methods of the
police generally know how they regard
| the poor fellow who has served a term
in the penitentiary. His record stands
against him, and the moment anything
happens the ex-convict is seized if he
is found within mile of the scene of
the crime. If this be true, it is high
time that that man who has paid the
penalty of his crime be protected
from men who appear to be persecut-
ors and whose ambitions are to make
the largest number of arrests. Pun
ishment often cures a man Of desire
to again commit wrong and he should
be given every opportunity to redeem
himself instead of being bounded and
blamed for offenses he has not com
mitted N. 0. Picayune.

Brookhaven held another Trades
Day" last week, which in point of at
tendance and successful features
eclipsed any previous one. Brookha-
ven has for number of years held a
monthly Trades Day and each sue
cessivc one has been greater and bet
ter than the one before. The mer-
chants sell more goods, get new Gus
toners and the trade territory is ever
expanding, and all parts of the county
are brought in closer touch with each
other by these monthly meets, and a
closer feeling of friendship and co
operation is established. What Brook
haven is doing, Lexington can do with
equal facility and profit.
