STOCK ON A BOOM
 IN AND AROUND JACKSON

He is recognized here as the peer l of any man suggested for the nomina- tion. and the Mississippi legislature awaits anxiously a reply to it's invita- tion to him for an address. The un- derwood boom here5i is due very largely to the activity and persistency of pr. Donald, senator from the Hattiesburg district He keeps a supply of Under wood buttons in his desk and about his pockets, pinnfng one to every man who will wear it. and they are very much in evidence
 The prospect is that Mississippi will order a primary election for the selee- tion of delegates to the democratic na- tional convention, the demand being to get just as far away from the conven- tion and caucus plan heretofore in vogue as possible.
 A number of the states of the Union have adopted this method, and as Mis- sissippi is welded to it in the selec- tion of all other officers, there does not seem to be any good reason for denying the people the right to express their preference in this way for those who are to name the next President of the United States.
 The convention system still has it's friends, but they see the handwriting on the wall--that it has served it's day and is thing of the past.

He was sustained by the appellate court within less than four months later and the affirmance of the high CT court in the case of Julia A. Bell vs. A. D. Leggett came almost equally as soon. Inasmuch as it was given out on wrong information at Birmingham and at this place that Judge Merrill had ruled the commissioners courts to be courts of record, the former case became the subject of considerable notice, but this impression has since been corrected.

when he denied that he had talked
with Mr.. e. H. Hartman about cam.

he was reverting to the Pickwick-
ian mode.
Mr., Odell testified in substance
that the third termer, then president
asked Mr.. Hartman in 1904 to come
to the White House and that after
this visit Mr.. Hartman raised the
$4,000 to save New York. acting
on the urgent request Of the third
termer. and that only 100000 Of this
fund was turne dover to the republi-
can committee in New York by the
national committee. But this IL only
q detail.
The third termer was not willing
to spur Mr.. Hartman to money rails
ing feats without evincing willingness
to respond in kind. So It was agreed
to send Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew az
ambassador to France, to leave New
York senatorial field to Mr.. Frank
s. Black. The stand at Arranged
don was not yet seen even in dim
prophetic vision. bnt 1t was then clear
that the battle for the Lord could

The Park Question

The Herald cordially agrees with
the park suggestion Of A. ]. Stewart,
and believes 1t will settle the ques-
ton of parks for a time at least. To
one at all familiar with the financial
conditions Of Aberdeen. this park hys-
terra has its absurd side. So far as
a recreation park Is concerned, Alb
erdeen and Hoquiam are supplied
with free park Of IS acres. easy Of
access, on car line. with Ave.
cent fare. that not only does not cost
either city q cent for maintenance,
but pays neat sum yearly in the
form of taxes.
So much for the crying necessity
So far all the park propositions ad.
vanced have represented fairly good
land sales, but. II parks were selling
in Aberdeen today at $4,000 gross
in assorted lots, the city is hardly in
position to buy single one. particu.
larly II its purchase called for an
outlay for improvement and upkeep
The Herald is aware this will not
prove popular reading In some quar-.
ters. but slight investigation will
show it to be the fact. and good bust
ness never ignores fact, even II
unpleasant. The amount Of money
demanded by the city estimates as
now made up. will make the taxes
for city purposes this year nearly z
per cent. Such q rate is equivalent
to erecting q barrier against the in
vestment Of industrial capital that
must be had to develop this city and
its magnificent natural resources.
Those estimates must be cut in half
at least and among some Of the
trimmings" that will have to be
Topped of will be park expenditures.
In other words, the city must act
just as the individual in his living
and in his business, limit It's expend.
itures to it's ability to pay. That the
city has a legal ability to tax to a
certain limit, is not saying that those
taxes should be so laid as to not only
overburden those who are here, but
to retard its growth and progress.
The Herald has no doubt that the
plans Of Mr.. Stewart will work out
In good time, and that future genera.
tons will be reminded of the sturdy
pioneers Of Aberdeen by the beautiful
green parks called by their names,
and that all this will happen before
the city becomes 80 congested as to
actually require breathing spaces for
it's inhabitants.
