Dedicates "WiIson Cottage

The governor motored later to the state
home for girls where he dedicated a
building to be known as the Wilson
Cottage" He there delivered his first
extended speech since he was elected
to the presidency,
THE whole basis OF society is individual
responsibility" said the governor IF
you cannot hold the individual RESPONSE
BILE for what he does then you cannot
punish him: and If society Is responsible
for what he does there is no means that
know of of furnishing society. The very
fact that crime exists the very fact that
moral dereliction exists Is in itself a sort
of penalty upon society and there are
those who say these are simply symptoms
that society is sick and that we must
cure It, Yet all the fabric and criminal
law, for example, would fall down II
there were no personal responsibility. It
is not just to incarcerate an individual
or to punish him with the extreme penalty
of death If he is not responsible for what
he did. The truth of the whole matter
seems to lie as usual. just about half
way between the two extremes Undoubt-
eddy there is a great deal, a vast deal,
for which society is responsible and that
is the justification for the existence OF
institutions OF this sort. We have no
right to spend the public money for the
benefit of few or for the relief of a
few unless by doing so we confer a
general benefit and reach a general pub
lie object.

No GRAY UNIFORMS FOR
TENNESSEE CONVICTS
Confederate Veterans Object
to Their Use

Atlanta, Feb. 16.-Georgia Con-
federate veterans have been asked 20
lend their moral support to the pro-
test formulated by their comrades in
Tennessee against adopting a uniform
of Confederate gray for the state con-
victs in Tennessee, in lieu of the pres
ent stripes now in vogue.
Letters from U. C. V. camps have
been received by local leaders, and
it is deemed probable that formal res
olutions will be passed here, and in
other parts of the South, urging that
Governor Hooper's plan be amended
so as to carry no insult, either inten-
tlonal or otherwise, to the men who
fought beneath the stars and bars.
The view of the affair here is that
Governor Hooper's proposal to put the
men in gray was entirely inoncent OF
intentional offense, and that it nevra
occurred to him that it was the same
color worn by the heroes of the Con-
federacy.

THE VOTE R
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of AT Good Old siwash"

1t is now time to consider the voter
Everyone is considering him just
now. People are neglecting their bust
ness in order to grasp him by the
hand and thank him for his noble
generosity in consenting to remain on
earth.
The voter is a quiet, busy man
who Is merely a part of the census
returns in January, but who keeps
growing bigger as the political cam
paign warns up until in November
he picks up candidates for Congress
and the legislature and looks them
over as if he was classifying bugs.
The voter is the silent partner in
politics. He does no talking. He
usually doesn't have a chance. But
at the proper time he steps up to the
polls and picks out the hired help
for his country for the next few
years. There are few signs more
majestic than that of a tired man in
overalls stepping into the voting
polls at the close of the day to de-
eide whether to give the president of
the United States another trial or to
put new man on the job.
After the voter has done his hir

election to be held at the various vot-
ing precincts in Forrest County,
Mississippi, upon the 5th day Of No
vember, 1912 the day of the Congress
sional election, for the purpose OF
determining whether the said office
of County Prosecuting Attorney shall
be retained in said Forrest County, or
whether said County will come from
under said law creating the office of
County Prosecuting Attorney.
Now, therefore, we, the undersigned
election commissioners of said Coun-
ty do hereby give notice of the said
election to be held at the various
voting precincts In said County on
the 9Th day of November, 1912, the
same being the day for holding the
Congressional election for the afore-
said purpose of determining in said
County whether the said office of
said Prosecuting Attorney shall be
retained, or whether said County will
come from under the law creating said
office.
Witness our signatures this, the
18th day of October, 1912.

mig he is supposed to go away back
and sit down. There is nothing less
important than the voter ON the day
after election. On the day before
election he could obtain loan of IS
from perfect stranger and his vest
pocket bulges with cigars. But on
the day after the candidates have
been chosen and there is no more
hiring to be done, it is a dead loss of
time even to dodge a voter with an
automobile. Before election he is
pestered to death with anxious can
didates asking his advice. After
election he has to send in his card
and wait until after supper for the
privilege of shaking his employees by
the hand and who would be so fool
ish to ask voters advice in De-
cember?
This is because a voter can hire
but cannot fire. If the voter could
fire a hired man whenever his work
got careless and he used his desk
merely as depository for tired feet
he would be a big man all the year
round instead of merely during the
campaign when his vote is still re-
posing in his vest pocket.
