Have Much Cause for ThankfuIness.

Collins Commercial.
A great many people in this coun-
ty are complaining of the continued
rains and saying that they will be-
ruined unless the rain ceases. 1t APP
pears to us that they forget how
much better their condition is than
a great many others in other parts
OF the country. When you begin to
think that you are ruined, just stop
a minute and think of the thirty thou
sand people along the Mississippi
river who are homeless because of the
great flood which has that country in
its grip at. the present; also think Of
the great loss OF life when the great
ship Titanic went down. Then think
how much better your condition is
than theirs. de realize that the
prospects arenok bright in this coun-
ty at this time, pr full crops, but we
think the people, should be thankful
that conditions are not any worse.
Complaining and looking blue does
not better matters any. solet's cheer
up and be thankful that we are still
living and have our friends and loved
one with US and that all are enjoy

Last weeks editions of the country
newspapers of Mississippi were reek-
ing with the calls of the democratic
executive committees for meetings to
devise ways for holding the presiden-
tial primary set for May It'll, and
editorials urging the faithful. to re-
pair TO the polls and register not on
~ their choice presidential nominee
and delegates to the Baltimore con-
vention. but to express as well by
such votive interest their approba-
ton of this move to bring govern
ment closer to the people, by allow
ing the rank and file of the party to
have voice for the first time in his
tory in selecting the nominee. The
Herald trusts that Greene County
will not be found wanting in taking
this step for Progressive Democracy
but that her yeomanry will rally to
the polls and show the world that
we are awake to our privileges in ev-
cry sense Of the word and action.

Newspapers Factor Strongly In Education.
Laurel Argus.

Laurel Argus.
Newspapers we're recently highly
commended by Dr. Elmer E. Brown,
United States commission Of educa-
ton, he said: you may teach In
dams scientific facts; you may teach
him history and literature; but if he
does not get interested in the news
paper and become a reader of it he
will not come lnio the Anglo-Saxon
world Of public opinion, he will not
become educated in the highest sense
of the word The newspaper brings
the citizen into a greater world of
public opinion than he can ind in the
oral speech Of his village or commu-
nifty. The person who does not
read the newspaper limits his adj
iustment to his immediate commune
ty.
Such tribute from a recognized
ltCQGE vi CQuCdblOu III 1AiIcIElCd, SdN >
the Springfield Union, brings thrill
of pride to every man in newspaper
dom Newspaper men are writing
the platforms of political parties. the
messages and documents of presi-
dents, governors. mayors and other
officials, the addresses of chairlnen
Of public gatherings and the speech
es of statesmen and politicians.
And among the great names of
American literature are not few
who, at some period in their exper-
fence, have tried their hand at news
paper work and honored it. Emer-
son. Bryant, Irving, Lowell, Helmes,
Warner and a score Of others have
helped to write the history Of the
world in a day, which is the function
OF newspaper. The fourth estate"
will ever be a mighty power in the
shaping OF the world S destiny.

DOES RAISING BOYS REALLY PAY?

Yazoo City Sentinel.
Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon
his parents for a livelihood until he
reaches the age of Fl years costs
them $4, 900. On this basis of calcu-
lation, a brood of six boys, for in
stance, would represent an outlay of
$24, 900 by the time they get away
from the home roost. The question
arises. does it pay to raise boys and
are there no other crops that would
prove more profitable? If boy
turns out TO be street lOafer with
an untrammeled and unconquerable
desire to avoid work, it is safe TO say
that his parents might have irvest ted
their $4, 900 to much better advan-
tage. But if the, boy grows up to
manhood with the lesson we'll learn
ed that wealth and success grow on
ly on bushes watered by the sweat of
ones brow, the parents need not be-
grudge whatever they spent on him,
for he will be a source of increasing
pride and JOY to their hearts, and
when they grow old and their hands
tremble and their legs wabble and
their step,is slow and taltering, they
tave two strong arms to lean upon
and help them over all the. rough
places that lie in their twilight path.

Who shall we vote for for the TWO
delegates from this the Sixth Con
gressional District to the Baltimore
Democratic Convention? Well W e
shall place our x mark opposite Ed
gar Harris and Jno. B. Dorsett, on
these grounds: Edgar Harris is a
man of very high type, belonging to
the Vardaman faction but not rankly
partisan and was about the first
prominent editor in the district to
break over for Harrison in the late
congressional campaign and 1t meant
much then and he did much for our.
Pat. Then John Dorsett is a broth
er to Mack OF Richton. Jett of Mer-
rill and DR.. jim of Lucedale and has
been in the counties of Greene,
George and Perry visiting his broth
ers and is a successful business man
and worthy of trust and this is the
first honor he has coveted from his
party after years Of faithful service,
so our vote goes to him whether or
not be lands.

THE
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
District Would be Well Represented.

Woodvllle Republican.
Hon. Edgar G.. Harris, the talent
ed editor of the Laurel Daily Argus,
has announced his willingness to rep
resent his district as one of the dele
gates at the Baltimore convention.
The district will be well represented
if 1t confers this honor upon Brother
Harris.

We presume most OF our readers
are already familiar with the death
Of Geo. Miller, at Richton, last week,
from the account in the Mobile Reg
ister. George formerly dwelt in
Greene county; first at Avera for a
number OF years, then at Leakesvie
and afterwards at Grafton. lie was
q carpenter by trade and IL bis prime
a fine mechanic in wood Dissipation
along the lines of drink marred his
later life and hurried him to a pre-
mature grave. He was German

language fairly plain, yet he bad tie
Germanlc brogue and mannerfsms,
and many individual eccentricihes.

The one reason that prevented her
from winning the prize was that in
the English test one of the topics in

courageous. A. scholarship was Of

The examination was open only to the
first graduates Of the parochial schools

test of all, and to the delight of all
she was declared the winner and will

IMPORTANT ITEM
For Young Men Who Intend to Mould
Public Opinion in Newspaper..


Marquette University School of
Journalism Is particularly fortunate
in an offer recently made to it by the
United Press Association. That large
news gathering agency has offered to
supply the school with the daily news
dispatches such as are furnished to
the daily papers that have franchises
In Its organization. It is a most lib
eral offer and speaks volumes for the
public spirit Of this great association.
The students Of the school Of journal
ism Will reap the benefit, for they will
nave an opportunity to get acouaint-
ed with the method of work of a
great news-gathering agency. It will
also enable them to edit actual news
dispatches. thus. in the school. learn
Ing very important part of news
paper work. In addition to many
other advantages they will be en-
abled to make a comparative study,
by means of these dispatches, of the
work Of expert editors on the Mil
waukee, Chicago. Minneapolis and St.
Paul daily papers. AS soon as this
extraordinary privilege accorded to
the Marquette School of Journalism
becomes well-known. it is expected
that it will result in a large increase
OF the number of students. Young
men who intend to embrace the pro-
fession Of Journalism will never bs
orered a finer opportunity to learn a
very important part of the work of
a newspaper, department in which
few find themselves expert even after
years of actual practice.
