He laughed, and felt there was hcalthin his

IN the evening the two sat about the great

A TALK ON

In his personal organ, the Outlook, the third
term candidate takes the ground that outside him
and his Immediate circle there is no political sincerity.
1.-THE platforms of the two parties' he says, care
models. of dangerous insincerity and bad faith" We
suppose we shall have to wait for the Roosevelt. Bill
Finn platform to find out what sincerity is. But
we desire to call special attention to this paragraph
from the Roosevelt article
M Taft's election means the perpetuationse
the control of the Cranes, Barneses, PenrOes and Gug,
genheims. DR.. Wilson's election means the perpetu.
alton of the control of the Murpheys, T~aggarts, Sulli-
vans, the Evans Hughes people, and their like"
And Theodore Roosevelt's election would mean
'the pcrpetuation of the c%ontrol'' of the Perkinses,
Woodruffs, Films, Hannas and Lyonses. 1t is well
known that Barnes was not so much for Taft as he
was against Roosevelt. Senator Crane stands head
and shoulders above such little bosses as Woodruff
and Lyon. Pcnrose is a better man in every way
than Finn, who has succeed him as boss-thanks to
supported by the steel trust and the harvester trust
ought not to be so critical of Guggenheim.
But Mr.. Roosevelt is convinced that Wilson, if
elected, would be controlled by Murphy, Taggart and
Sullivan. He was nominated over the determined
opposition of Murphey, who came into line only when
there was no one else to vote for. And today Mr..
Wilson is recognizing not Murphy, but Senator
O'Gorman as the leader in New York only when they
found that it was impossible to hold their delegations
against him. Yet Mr.. Wilson is condemned as a
boss andidate by a man who, while governor of New
York, held weekly consultations with Platt; who was
the friend of Quay, the upholder of Addicks, and
the boss manned road roller that crushed out all op.
position.
Such is the man who speaks of the platforms Of
the two great parties as "models of dangerous insin
certify" We note that the plot to steal the Republi
can organizations in several states is still in opera
ton, and that in those states this new party, which
was to stand alone and fight its own battle under its
t own name, is to be known as the Republican party
Another specimen of Rooseveltian sincerity is founC
f in the appeal to the farmers from the man who's,
campaign this year has been financed largely bv peo
pie connected with the harvester trust, the man VIII,

A MEMORY.
- NA

| knew the slanting meadow, lush and green,
knew the daisy bOrdered walk that lay
Along the slope, the brook that ran between
It's widowed banks, and purling slipped away
Like liquid glass DER shining, shallow sands,
Into a cool, clear pool, where little bands
OF nimble dace and cleaning minnows played
knew the bOsk where the 1.-THE alders swayed
Their tufted rods, and there at last again
stood, a dreamer knitting up the years,
The many years till memory seemed a pain
That throbbed awhile and drowned itself in tears
heard the wood thrush in his olden haunt,
The mimic cat birds wild, fantastic cry,
saw the golden throated oriolc flaunt
His flashing plumage up and down the sky,
Then came the echo of an Olden song,
So faint. ! feared the stirring of a leaf
Would break its cadence as it passed along,
A sweet, sad song, of neither joy NOR grief
That murmured through the soft and stirless air,
And seemed float fLom some forgotten Past,
Down to the border. land, then fingered there,
Where Youth and Age met face to face at last.

CONGRESSMAN GAMBLER AND NOXU'
BEE COUNTY.

IT is rather difficult to see how any citizen of
Noxubee county who has a sense of appreciation
for things done for the county can fail to strongly
support Hon. f. S. Gambler, Jr., for denomination
to congress. Of course there may be some NoXu-
beeans whose personal relations to the other candi-
date are such that it may be their duty to vote for
him. But the great mass of our people should re-
member the great public services Mr., Gambler has
done Noxubee.
Mr.. Gambler has certainly been loyal to our
county. He has gotten US as many rural free de-
livery routes as our people have wanted. Ours
was one of the first counties of the State given a
soil survey, National good road experts were sent
here, as were the Agricultural DEPARTING IT'S ex-
perts. In all these matters of considerable local
Importance and benefit Mr.. Gambler has looked
well after Noxubee's interest.
In addition, the best appointment at a congress
mans disposal is the appointment to the National
Military Academy at West Point. This was given
a Noxubee boy, who. as it happens, could not &C.
cept the place; but that fact does not detract from
Mr.. Gamblers service to the county in naming
him.
AS to legislation in Washington, Mr.. Gamblers
record is clean and able. He has much influence
with hiscolleagues and if the democrats control con-
gress he will be a power there. 1t will be a great
mistake for this district to turn down Mr.. Gambler
just when he is likely to be able to use his expert
ence and influence acquired by long service. He
deserves at least one term with a democratic presi-
dent after serving long with the enemy in control.
New England, with about five per cent of ter
ritory and fifteen per cent of population of the ma
ton exercises about sixty per cent of power in con-
gress, 1t sends good men there and KEEPS them
there.
Let our congressional district profit by New
England's example. Our congressman is of great
importance TO us just now. Send the man there
that can best represent the district and have the
most influence and power.
Vote for the best man and damn politics.

MlSSISSIPPPS SUPREME COURT.

Chief Justice Robert Mayes resigned from the Mis-
isssippi Supreme court early in the week, and before
the politicians could get busy Governor Brewer an.
pointed State Senator Richard L. Reed OF Natchez to
fill the vacancy.
The appointment is n most excellent one in every
way. Justice Reed was elected to the state senate a
year ago while absent in Europe. In the late session
of the legislature he made the reputation of being
one of the soundcst lawyers and one of the strongest
men in the body. He was a candidate for congress
from his district when appointed to the bench with
excellent chances for election. Some interest is ey.
cited by the fact that he belongs to what is called
the minority in Mississippi politics.
The state has cause to rejoice at such an excellent
appointment to its highest court.
Chief Justice Maycs, who is succeeded rs chic
justice by Justice Sydney Smith, leaves a distip
guishcd record for the five years he has served on tn,
supreme bench. Learned in the law, of an acute an,
penetrating mind together with broad reasoning now
ers and a tremendous capacity for work, his decisions
rank high as legal authority and the amount of hi
work accomplished is monumental.

MACON n NOXUBEE.

THE City of Macon and the County of Noxubee,
particularly that part of the latter which is adjacent
to Macon, are the subjects of a beautifully gotten up
pamphlet lately printed. There are about twenty
pages in the book and it is p%rofusely illustrated with
farm scenes, fine residences, public buildings, etc.
Attractive sketches of the town and county and
of business concerns here are given, and Mr.. Jos. Il.
Wings interview on our lands is also reproduced.
The illustrations are exceedingly well selected and
executed and all of the typographical work is excel.
lent. The pamphlet will be a fine advertisement for
Macon. and the county and will attract favorable
comment wherever seen. 1t gives a fair idea to one
who has never seen this country, of what an attrac.
tive and valuable county we have here.
The book was gotten up by Mr.. Geo. W. Bellar,
of 1913 Perdido street, New Orleans, who has spent
some time here in Macon.

MIR. King Visits Macon.

Rev. H. N. King, now pastor of the FIRST Baptist churh

visiting his old Pensioners, with whom he is immensely pop-
ular, as he is with all the people in Macon.
Mr.. King is very much interested just now in the cues
ton agitated in jackson as to having the commission form
of government. 1t has always been a part of Mr.. Kings
usefulness in his pastorates that he takes keen. nubl;..snir.
tied interest in civic affairs.
Iu this connection it seems that before Mayor Horton
and Marshal Lee OF Macon established their regulations Of
being respectively the best mayor and marshal in the state
that Mr.. King favored their opponents and during The con.
