THE .NEW YEAR

Before another issue of the Sentinel reaches our readers. the
year 1912 will have been gently laid away with the millions of other
things that are past and gone. 1t did its duty fully and completely.
Whatever contract it may have had with us and with all the world
was filled to the letter.
Can we, who used 1912, say as much2 God gave the year to US.
1t was His. He is about to take it away now and we are looking
for Hin to give US another. He has never given anything to man
that was not complete. He has never given the world a thing that
did not do its part every day and every hour. So, then the query
must come to the thoughtful person: What am doing towards ex-
ecuting my part of the contract with my Maker?" Life is a con-
tract regardless of how we view it. God is living up to His part of
the contract; what re W e doing with our part of it? Hence, the
results to come from the year 1913 rest largely with us. Few of US
get less than we deserve; fortunately fate does not always deal with
US after our deserts; still, we must and shall reap what we sow. 1t
therefore behooves Is to take the things of 1912 and all the years of
our life that arr behind us and whatever of the experience and OBJ
servation of the ages that ire past that our minds have been able to
assmilate and apply them to meeting the issues of 1913 There will
be new problems, but there will be nothing that discreet thought
and seasoned experience are not sufficient to deal with.
Right is right all the time and everywhere. Let us no pe that we
shall commit less error and make fewer mistakes in 1913 than ever
before and that we shall exercise more charity in thought, word and
deed than in any year in our history. If we do this. there will be
more peace, happiness and JOY in 1913 than the world ever saw in
one twelve months.
Here are thanks to 1912 and greetings to 1913!

at costs a country newspaper money every time 1t takes a stand
on any question. Almost any citizen besides a newspaper man can
do so without injury to his business. If the editor advocates i'm
provements the sore head goes after him and sometimes stop his
paper. If he opposes improvements the progressive sort get on him
and call him a back number and a knocker."
The esteemed Newton Record quotes the above from an ex-
change and adds the following:
Eyes, and n he gives space in his columns advocating the cleo
tion of politician for office and thereby sacrifices patronage in es-
pouing his cause, when the politician is elected he forgets what the
thing to S when you want something, but if the newspaper man
wants something-thats a different proposition"
While there is much truth in both the above statements and it
is a fact that the editor of a country newspaper is a target for every
fellow with knock kneeded, box ankled. whopper jawed ideas, many
of whom could not write a dozen lines OF correct English, others mis-
spelling one-fourth the words, tbs also true with editors. a with every
body else: 1t is never difficult for him to please his REAL friends
and the editor who does his duty conscientiously doesn't care
atnker's dam about what the knockers say. When an editor makes
a mistake, everybody knows it, other peoples are generally hidden
from the public, the doctor, it has often been said, burIes his mis-.
takes.
We would give the Record this voluntary advice as to politics:
Never support "a politician for office" If the politician" wants
space in your paper, let him pay for it at advertising rates. The
man who is in politics purely for what it will profit him-for what he
can make out of it's "a politician in the present day application
of the term, and is an enemy to society. The man that will not do
what he says about politics will not do what he says about private
affairs or anything else whenever it is to his interest to do otherwise.
Stand by our friends in politics and everything else" is our
motto. Your real friends will stand "hitched" in politics a S we'll as
in business. The true friend will not demand or ask anything of his
friend, who is in politics, that he himself would be unwilling to do
or that would be embarrassing to the one in politics.
The country editor gets his "cussen" but he gets his reward also.
Personally, we are even on the proposition. We have no malice in
our heart and wish those who have knocked" us, we'll. We would
rather do them a kindness than a hurt.

CARTER'S STATEMENT IN THE UNION
I'D HOGATE

We have seen quite a deal in the daily press about the financial
endorsements of the Farmers Union Warehouse company and we
read with much interest the statement of 7. w. Carter, president of
the Mississippi Union, which appeared in the Union Advocate of
last week. Carter thinks the condition of the warehouse company
was brought about Just as he states it was. He would make no
statement about any matter he did not believe was correct. He
gives very forcible and very plausible reasons for what he states
We know nothing about the business plans and the management
that have directed the warehouse company, bu; we do know that
Hightower and Carter ire both honest men and we believe that they
have done as we'll as anybody else could have done with the condi-
at their command.

THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL

Not very many daily newspapers from the Great West find their
way to Mississippi. 1t has been our good fortune to read the Kan
|sas City Journal for the past two years and we can state unreservedly
that it is equal to the best newspaper published in the United States
1t has a most select list of contributors who write upon almost every
subject. 1t is a "stand pat" republican paper, but that makes little
difference to US down here. Its editorial deliverances are broadly
conservative. yet yirile and interesting. The Journal boosts the
Great West and $ a credit to that section. Those who once get to
reading it do not want to do without it,

The Outlook is one of the best publications of its kind in the
United States. Its editorial utterances cover a wide field and there
is a breadth and a spirit of patriotism about them that is refreshing.

what he writes is almost as interesting as this world wide character
is personally. Besides the editorial matter in the Outlook, there

William H. Sabens, the soldier who is
on trial before a jury in Justice Ander-
sons court, on the charge Of staying Ada
Haynes last August. testified yesterday
that his mind was blank as to the hap
penings Of the week preceding his arrest.
He said he had no resentment against
the Haynes girl, and could not recall the
shooting. Sabens said he had been
drinking for a week before his arrest
and could not recall visiting Fort Myer
during that time.
Counsel for the prisoner in his opening
address to the jury said he expected to
prove that Sabens was insane at the
time Of the shooting, that he was pre-
disposed to mental arrangement by
lis family history, an uncle and three
cousins having been insane.
