Sane and Sensible.-Our friends
that are so jealous for Judge Jones,
are complaining of the conservative
newspapers which are not losing their
shirts in the contest between Judge
Jones and Governor Blease, but they
are endeavoring to keep a clear head
and the columns Of their newspapers
free from Misrepresentation Of either
candidate. Because Of this very prop
er course some of the Jones organs
would have us to either 'cuss out" the
Judge or give him support. So far as
this newspaper Is concerned, 1t will
conduct its editorial policy as its edi-
tor sees fit. At the same time 1t will
always give expression to its choice OF
men when the proper time comes, but
Of all things 1t will not do. 1t will not
permit itself to be twitted into abusing
Judge Jones or any other candidate
for public office. If the occasion de-
mands, 1t will criticise the public ut
terances of Judge Jones or Of any can
didate, and this we hope we can do
without resorting to abuse or false

sissippi flood is assigned as one rea-
son for the stiffening of prices; but
that is only one reason. Another rea-
son Is the claim that the remnant Of
the crop is legitimately worth a great
deal more than it has been bringing,
because of the strong prob
ability that the acreage is going to be
reduced. Still another element of the
situation that is not to be forgotten is
that an advance in price now stimu-
lates increased acreage, and it is worth
the while of the spinners to pay enough
advance to ensure an increase in the
acreage

Tommy Conceran. better known to
