PERCY"S RESIGNATION ASKED

Those who have not a chip on their shoulders and who have
not on their war paint in Mississippi will deeply regret the action of
the Legislature in asking Senator Percy to resign his seat in the Uni
ted States Senate. The legislature is without power to enforce such
a request. and it was practically certain in advance that the request
would not be complied with; therefore what good could come of it7
Certainly it was in no sense an ointment for the sores that ahaict the
democratic party in the state, 1t is useless now to discuss the issues
of the recent campaign, Let that alone. We are among those that
believed in gracefully submitting to the arbitrament of the primary
of August I, last. The truth is, there wa and has been too much
personalism rather than real issues in Mississippi politics for the
past dozen years. There has been too much personal journalism
also within our borders during the past few years, and it has not all
been on one side by any means. 1t should stop.
For our part, we would have been glad to have seen Mr.. Varda-
man go Immediately to Washington after his triumph at the polls.
Those that continue to ding dong at Senator Percy Or at Mr. Varda-
man. either, must bear the responsibility for whatever serious conse-
-quences come to the democratic party in the state. The fire eating,
rule or ruin sentiment bodies no good to the general welfare of our
people. We should have peace. There is too much at stake to
continue to breed strife. The moral and material welfare of the
state can not be fostered and de, eloped when one-half of our peo-
pie area at the other halfs throat. 1t behooves every good citizen to
pour oil on the troubled waters. Senator-elect Vardaman and his
leaders should be let alone. The let-alone business should be put
into effect at both ends of the line.

THE CIVIC LEAGUE IND CITY

The Civic League of the City IS beginning to discuss already the
matter of screening. the standpipe in this city and other things made
necessary by the approach of the heated season. They should have
the earnest and most cordial cooperation of the city authorities and
of every citizen of the town. The matter of good drinking water
can not be over-estimated when the health problem is considered.
1t is recalled that for the past two or three years, there have been
worms in the water as it comes from the city hydrants. This should
not be. Certainly there must be some imperfect connections m
where or exposures that are conducive to the termination of these
worms and the most dligent efforts should be made to see that such
a condition does not again beset patrons of the water and light plant
this summer. AL our boasts about good, pure water comes TO
naught when one sees hundreds of small worms wiggine in the water
To confess that they can not be kept out admits an impotencv that
we dislike to attribute to our authorities. The question of spend;no
money to rid the water of these pests should not be considered
Let US hunt for the causes and as a first step in that direction. LEI II Is
have the standPipe properly screened and the pool at the plant

The Sentinel has been advised several different times recentlv
that COWS were grazing in Odd Fellows cemetery. We do not know
who the owner, Or owners, of the cattle are but regardless of who is
responsible tor their depredations, we hope the pound keeper of the
city will give the cemetery especial attention and see that every COW
or calf that gets into those sacred grounds is carried to the pound
and the owner made to pay full charges before retaining property.
There can be no excuse for repeated depredations. The neglect
must be wiful and deliberate and we hope the city authorities will
pass a special ordinance to impose a fine on the owners of stock
feeding in the cemetery grounds. This will stop it and stop it at

With this declaration, Governor
West announced his crusade against
vice in Portland, at a meeting with
the mayor, chief of police, district at
torney and members of the municipal
association and vice commission at
the office of the mayor. Sheriff Stew
ems did not attend the meeting, send
ing word that he was too busy.
During the whole session the air
was charged with tension. Governor
West sweepingly declared that none
of the city or county authorities had
been doing their duty.
Governor West announced the ap-
pointment of Walter Fl. Evans as spe-
cial deputy in District Attorney Cam
erons office to handle vice cases, and
declared his intention Of appointing
Tom Word, w. H. Fitzgerald and other
candidates for election as sheriff as
deputies to aid in law enforcement.

position that he has been performing
the duties of his office according to
the requirements Of law, and will not

$4,000 IN CASH
WITHOUT AN OWNER.
That Amount Is Lost Every Year
In Spokane.

Sounds like fairy story to hear Of
$4,000 or more in real cash and no
farther away than Spokane being lost
every year just because no one claims
it, and any Inland Empire rancher
could have a share Of it without much
trouble or expense. In fact, the rail-
roads are willing to help any one try
for this money. and there is a book
printed each year just to tell all the
particulars and the easiest way to get
in on this But, in spite Of everything
this money is left homeless year after
year. Nobody can figure out the rea
son for this. Perhaps the public don't
believe that the money is good. or
maybe they think it is like the April
! purses-with stout cord attached
but. as a matter of fact, the money is
real. and no strings of any kind are
fastened to it.
All this refers to the Spokane Fair
and the money it gives away each
wear in prizes. The 1912 premium
list was issued May l. Any one can
have a copy for nothing by writing
the secretary Of the Fair There are
more than $4,000 worth of prizes list
ed in this book. on which competition
is open to the world, and yet every
year only one-half to two-thirds of
these prizes are contested for or claim
ed simply because the Inland Empire
ranchers and citizens don't take the
pains to send in entries.
However, an increasing number
each year do compete. Since 1904 the
entries have risen from 1881 to 7.1O4
last year, and the Spokane Fair people
anticipate keen competition this year
in nearly every department. One of
the most interesting will be the old
time county and district display
prizes, for which $2.25O has been ap
propriated This contest used to be
the feature of the far1ous old fruit
fairs and ought still to make a hit
now that there are so many new pro
ducing districts.
The railroads are doing everything
possible to hep the Spokane Fair and
are not only making very low passen
ger rates for Fair week, Sept. 80 to
Oct 6, but also special freight and ex
press rates OF exhibits. Complete in
formation about rates may be obtain
ed from any railroad agent or the sec
rotary of the Fair
