Mr. Underwood is the Demoerat c
floor leader of the tIf1se; and unless

landable: we cannot quite under
stand why Mr.. Underwood should

disappointed that he will permit
himself to be made stalking horse

TO find out who are the friends Of

search for his enemies, and you can
readily see that these enemies are

OF the people at heart. Progressive

the sterling qualities OF Woodrow

them is shown by the thousands Of

Miss. Comment in Mobile Register.
However distasteful to the Bour-
bon element of Mlssissippi Democra-
cy the acts of the present legislature
may be, and which may be typi6ed
in the change in the enacting clause
of the statutes from, BE 1t enacted
by the legislature of the state OF
Mississippi" to BE it enacted by
the people Of MississippI, there are
some who commend the work being
done, among the number the Greene
County Herald, which says under the
heading, Legislature Acquitting.
Itself Welt "The legislature has
about abandoned the hope of finish
ing up business and adjourning Feb
ruary "A, as provided by the Owen
resolution, and are now looking to
March 2 as the day for ending this
session. SO far they have adhered
very closely to their programme of.
economical administration of she fl
nances of the state. and have made
good in enachng the several popular
measures agitated in the last sum
mer campaign: Aboiishment Of the
county attorney law in whole or
part: to amend primary law to pro-
vide for election of vacancies caused
by resignation or death OF United
States senators; ratifylng elective
judicial amendment to the state con-
stitutIon; abolished the Office of SUI
preme court commissioners; anlend-
ing 1he prohibition law to meet de-
mands shown by time ia its opera
lion; creating the juvenile reforma-
tory, and it took a shot at the con-
stitntionaI questions bound up in In
equality of assessment and apDor
tionments as effect South Mississip-
pi; charging the supreme COURT
creating an appellate court the lat
ter Of which important questions are
yet to be wrestle6 with for final set
tlement. Barring the uncertainty
as To fate Of the latter this legisla.
ture has acquitted Itself well and
true to cam paign promises.

EDITORIAL

The Herald Progress of Sumner,
Miss, has new editor now in the
person Of Carlton NJ. Broslus, who is
putting some ginger into the columns
of that paper on Its editorial page.
There is much to engross the atten-
ton of Mississippi editors now, and
those who can find no themes for edi-
torializing must be extremely stupid
or INDECENT. We Go love to get hold
of a paper which reflects life and
thought from its editorial depart
ment.

The desperateness Of the Repubi-
can party is shown by the effort
which has proven successful Of shun-
ting Theodore Roosevelt into the
race for the presidential nomination,
wnen he stated four years ago, that
he would not accept another nomi-
nation, account the no-third term
custom. The Herald does not be
lieve that even the Strenuous Teddy
can shore up the sinking fortunes Of
the party of Piutocracy which has
so long run the affair of government
of this country to build up favored
class at the expense of the whole
people. The peop.e have been too
thoroughly aroused to even be mis-
led longer by the glamor from a
much overdone war hero.

Presidential Primary In High Favor

Meteor. Crystal Springs.
Hon. G. III. Alexander has issued a
card strongly endorsing the presi-
DENTAL primary plan Of electing del
egates to the national convention
and for expressing the choice Of the
people for president. Supplement-
ing this strong endorsement, Senator
Vardaman goes further and wants
primaries to elect members Of state,
district and county executive com
nittees. The matter will be brongh4
before the legislature and it is conf
dently predicted that that body will
pass q concurrent resolution recon-
mending to the state executive COM
mittee the calling Of a primary for
the purpose. Nine states have
adopted the primary plan Of select
inc delegates to the national conyen~
tons and the probabl lily is that this
method is that that this method OF
expressing presiden tial choice and OF
naming the delegates viii prevail
throughout the country ere the lapse
OF many years. There IS no resist
inc the trend back to the people as
the source of all power fact the
astute politician has be inclination

Alabama has the Underwood fever,
and is IN quite a stew over the mat
ter. The Favorite Son is a pretty
game to play SO Iong,as it lasts and
we trust that no rancourous feeling
may accrue to any state rightly be-
longing in the Democratic column
this year on account of failure to
land her man in the Baltimore con
ventioG, and Of course it should not
be so with Alabama, belonging as
she does to the Solid South. II Dem
ocracy wins the president this year,
Alabama's love work for her son
Oscar Underwood may not be lost
even though he is not made the
standard bearer for the party now,
for four years hence he might be the
fortunate one.

Presidential Primary Pretty Certain.

Meridian Daily Dispatch.
It appears almost certain that
there will be a primary election IL
Mississippi to express the choice Of
the people for the democratic nomi-
nation for presidency, and it is even
probable that there viii be legislative
action looking to this end-the bold
ing of a primary. There is a con
stantly growing disposition on the
part of the people to do all their own
voting. The average Mississippian
likes to vote anyway, and the express
sion of presidential preference
would be something new. Hereto
fore few men have managed things
and generally instructed, or sent I'M
instructed delegates as they thought
best. The plan to allow the people
to express a choice will likely meet
with favor from all sources.

Committee Can't Agree on Division of Piuns
TROUBLE AT PIE COUNTER

Inc pestiferous question of Federal
patronage pie will not down in Geor-

Senators and mere congressman long
ago threw up their hands and wished
they never had been born, so heavy
has been the avalanche of applications
for jobs precipitated upon them.
But right here in Atlanta, some six
weeks ago was formed a close commit
tee on Federal patronage.
1t consisted-and still consists. al
though split into various factions-of
a round dozen faithful and true Will
sonites. noble twelve, they are, who
fit, bled and died" for the New Jer-
sey governor when fighting, bleeding
and dying was in order; and this COM
mittee set for itself the task of divid-
ing the forthcoming Federal pie, and
passing it out in such wise as it should
go.
The committee consists of-but not
yet has come the precise time for the
naming of names!
Six Weeks of Futile Labor.
Suffice it to say that the committee
has been Communicating busily since it
organized itself, commissioned itself,
and went to work, as aforesaid, some
six weeks ago.
It was discovered, soon after the
committee was organized, that divers
and sundry committeeman had their
individual eyes on large. fat, juicy,
plumpy plums. and that they intended,
first thing of ALL to commit the COM
mfttee to their right and title to the
same, before proceeding to the division
among the smaller and less favored
fry.
On the committee, however, are three
who sWore by the great horn spoon that
they wanted nothing themselves, and
that they thought it all wrong for the
majority of the committee to swipe the
choices slices of pie in sight for its
own use, right off the bat, so to speak!

Councilman c. d. Knight, chairman

Winn and Alderman John s. Gambler,
chairman of the finance committee, to
purchase these fixtures this year as
permanent ornaments for the building.
They were put in for the gas show and
were Offered to the city for $4,000.
These officials said there was no money
in the treasury for the purchase of this
equipment this year.
