BUSINESS AND POLITICS DIVORCED
F: One Of the most remarkable things
about the late political campaign was
the comparatively small effect 1t had on
business conditions throughout all parts
Of the United States. Anyone at all
familiar with past campaigns will read
lily recall the difference between this ana
former campaigns. Other campaigns
brought on unsettled and UNCERTAIN in.

learn the outcome Of the battle Of bal

The local merchant often figures it a loss of time to pre-.
pare an ad and waits until the very last moment before he
will begin. He must then hurry with his work, giving the com
position little or no thought, and breathes a sigh of relief
when he has sufficient copy to fill the desired space. This will
likely be a poorly written ad, and as he gives it to the printer
sition OF be late in getting out his paper, and the ad goes to
the public poorly written and poorly displayed. The merchant
conclude that advertising does not pay, and becomes more
slack with his composition and takes less space and finally
decides that the money paid out for advertising is money
paid to charity. This same merchant will not allow his clerks
to hurry and half do things, but will require them to take the
time necessary to do things well. AS much care and intelli-
gence must be used in advertising as is used in any part of
the business. Advertising is to the retail merchants trade
what water is to arid land-it doubles and sometimes trehles
the proceeds. The merchant who becomes wealthy in the
business is the one who was a constant and persistent adver.

SUPPLEMENT.
INDICATED.

All remember the turbulent
scene in the recent state conven-
ton occasioned by remarks of
the late Hon. C. H. Alexander,
drawing on his attacks, the ex-
element from which percipitated
his death. II is in order to state
that the unit rule, the assumed
right of a state convention to in
struct delegates not elected by it,
but in a primary, which has been
defeated in the national demo-
cratic convention, raised the iden-
tical issue in principle and sub
stantial fact, OF the Mississippi
resolution Mr.. Alexander disput-
ed. His declaration that he would
not consider it binding was iden-
tical with the contention of the
Ohio delegates, who appealed
from a state convention instruc-
ton, which released them. The
condemnation Of the unit rule by
the national convention is COM
plete vindication of Mr.. Alexan-
der; a vindication voted for by
the very men who reviled and
assailed him on the floor of the
state convention, with a verbal
virulence that verged on physical
violence.
The defeat of such a unit rule
as that which the national con-
vention has put to sleep is hailed
as "a progressive" victory. In
fact the unit rule" has been
against the practice and doctrine
of Mississippi democratic politics
from way back. There never was
a motion in a Mississippi conven-
ton for adoption Of a general un-
it rule, until the progressive
leaders," James X. Vardaman,
Earl Brewer, ct al, carried one
through in the recent convention.
And which these same worthless
lined up behind John Sharp Will
liams in voting down in the nat
ional convention. - Vicksburg

LET EN- PLAY BILLIARDS SAYS
NAFTZGER.
"No More Harm Than Croquet," Says
St. Vincent's Pastor.

Billiard playing was commended by
the Rev. Earl Natter, pastor of Vim
cent Methodist Episcopal church, Tues
day night at a banquet Of the Young
Mems club.
THE church is entirely too narrow
in its view Of such entertainment" de-
clared Mr.. Naftzger.
Don't charge a young man $25 a
| year, like the Y. M. G. A., for a place
of entertainment.
These and other declarations were
made by Pastor Natter in response
to addresses made by Vincent White,
Elmer Dehuff, Clarence Damon and
| others of the mems club, whose views.
| crystallized, were that the young man
| would be drawn out of questionable re-
sorts if the attractions of the church
were strengthened.
THE church has not provided the
young man with sufficient social enter
| taintment," said Mr.. Naftzger, land
he has been forced to the public billiard
halls. The games of these resorts
could not be harmful if played under
| Christian auspices.
1.-THE church could not do better than
provide a department where young men
could lounge and play games, ever bill
lizards. If we sanction checkers, Gro
quet and baseball, why should we draw
q line on billiards? For the reason that
these games are promoted under sinful
environment.
Il advocate the renting of quarters,
the establishment of the Vincent par
ish house, if you please to call it that,
supported and backed by church funds,
/ equipped with everything a young man
wishes and seeks elsewhere, a library,
reading room, games, a gymnasium.
Then give the young man the liberty to
come and 60 when he pleases." The
