Vardamdn Strong AdOocdte
of Commission Government

Meridian, Miss, April Al am a
strong advocate of the commission
form of government and if had the
power would insert the initiative, ref.
erendum and recall in the national
platform, and am in favor of applying
the recall to judges" was a statement
male by Senator-elect James X. Var
daman Tuesday night, when questioned
as to his views on these issues.
The distinguished gentleman was
enthusiastic in his endorsement of the
commission form of government, as it
puts the power of governing in the
hands of the people, where, he de-
clares, it belongs.
The judgment of the people, he
declared, can be relied upon to settle
issues when the people have some
particular person to whom they may
LOOK to see that their wishes are car
ried out.
The commission plan was, in the
senator's opinion, the most logical
and business like form of government
known to the American people.

Nearly all of the old men, who com

be experienced in the matter of mill
hands.
The plant at this place and the 9TH

"swamped' with orders, and on the
completion of the new No. 3, orders

Good government headquarters has
been opened in the Rosenbaum build
ing and a campaign for a better gov
eminent in Meridian has started with
a vim and vigor which will meet with
success Four offices have been rent
ed in the building and stenographers
will be employed at once and the cam
paign actively carried on.
The petitions for an election on
commission government have already
been signed by over 900 qualified cleo
tors, more than double the amount
necessary to call an election. The
petitions will be turned over to the
municipal boards Thursday and an
election date will probably be set next
Friday night.
The good government movement is
talked on every corner and predictions
are freely made that the election will
go for good government for Meridian
by vote of to /. The people seem
to have awakened to the inefficiency
Of the present system and are bent on
improving Meridian, through a change
in government.

Capt. J. A. Beaumont VIII CONNIE nc
Immediately to Form
Company.

Capt. j. A. Beaumont will immedi-
ately commence the organization at
this place of a National Guard. He is
in receipt of letter from Col. Sam
McCants at Mcpherson, Ca,
stating that he would be glad If
such an organization can be perfected
here. Mr.. Beaumont has taken up the
matter with Adjutant- General Fridge
at Jackson, who states that there is
now one vacancy in the second Regi-
ment and asks Mr.. Beaumont to or
ganize Immediately in order to par
ticipate in the summer encampment

Hattiesburg formerly had a military
organization, known as Company l.,
Second Regiment, but owing to lack
of interest by members it was allowed
to fail. Under the new ruling by the
Adjutant General it requires go men
to form a company. There were
about fifty men in the old company

DoN'Ts.

Don't forget that one hen with scalS
leg will infect the whole flock.
Don't advertise one thing and sell
another. Some do this and miss.
Don't let the flock eat decayed vege
tables or ptomaine poisoning may re
suit.
Don't advertise only when business
is bright, for it was advertising made
trade right.
Don't let hobby run of with you
Ideas at times go out of style and, like
hoopskirts, make people smile.
Don't feed moldy sprouted oats. A
little salt in the sprinkling water will
prevent mold and make the sprouts
more palatable.
Don't forget that the winter grain
ration is more concentrated and richer
than the summer range bill of fare
with its delightful exercise in fresh
air.

100000 FOR
GOUD ROADS
Movement in State For Improved
Highways Gathers I'm
petus.

Jackson, Miss. April 4.-The good
roads movement in Mississippi is re-
ceiving decided impetus, inspired in
very large measure by the extreme
ly bad weather that prevailed dur
ing the past winter, rendering the
country highways impossible, and
awakening the general public to a
realization of what it means to have
roads that can be travelled twelve
months in the year.
Since the list of January bond is
sues authorized in the various coun-
ties for road and bridge improvements
aggregate the imposing total Of over
100000, and other counties are about
to fall in line. The Adams county
boards of supervisors now has pe-
tition pending asking that 100000
in bonds be issued for modern high
ways leading into the city of Natchez
and the Lauderdale county board of
supervisors today sold $4,000 in
bonds to be used for the construction
of roads leading into the city of Me
ridian. The Kinds county board and
the highway commission are holding
Joint session here today to award
contracts for seventeen miles of i'm.
proved highways.
The various educational forces that
will be in work during the summer
have planned to make good roads one
of their leading shibboleths, and indi
cations seem good for a thorough
awakening of the state on this i'm
portant subject.

VALE THEODORE.

The leader for the time being, who
ever he may be, is but an instrument,
to be used until broken and then to be
cast aside; and if he is worth his salt
he will care no more when he Is brok-
en- than a soldier cares when he is sent
where his life is forfeit in order that
the victory may be won.-Theodore
Roosevelt.
They've bumped him here, they've
bumped him there,
They've jumped upon him everywhere;
Old Indiana's swatted him,
And North Dakota, too, with vim.
The delegates he thought he'd get
Somehow have not floeked round him
yet,
And that reverberating roar
Scheduled to sound from shore to
shore,
That popular, widespread demand
Which should have covered all the
land,
Has not begun and never will.
But still
He cares no more that he is broke
Than if it were harmless joke;
The fact that he is out of it
Does not disturb his mind bit.
The cries of Steal" and things like
that
Don't come from underneath his hat;
The claim that if the people ruled,
No longer they'd by Taft be fooled.
But would select President
More like certain strenuous gent,
Comes not from him. No, mercy. no!
He doesn't care; he tells us SO.
He's but a WORKOUT instrument,
No longer worth a single cent;
He realizes that is true
And sees that he at last is Through"
But will he make an ugly howl?
Will he display his teeth and growl?
Not he. His own advice he'll heed,
And, though his painful wounds may
bleed,
The damage he will not deplore,
But silent keep forevermore.
(That is, OF course, providing that
The truth has sifted through his hat,
And they've convinced this scrappy
gent
That he's broken instrument.")

ed from his usual place, and scared
out over the ocean, crossing the pier,
and then turned and dipped close to
a roller coaster in a beach amusement
park.
Seeing a flock of gulls disporting
themselves among a great shoal of
sardines, just over the breakers, Rodg-
ers again turned and dived down into
them, scattering the sea fowl in all
directions.
Highly elated with the outcome of
his dive, the aviator then flew farther
out to sea, all the time gradually ris-
ing, until he had reached a height of
about 200 feet.
Making a short turn, he started at
full speed for the pier, then suddenly
dipped his planes, and his machine be.
gan frightful descent. Rodgers was
seen by hundreds of persons on the
pier to relax his hold on the levers,
and then, seemingly realizing that he
was in danger, he made strenuous eff
forts to pull the nose of his machine
into level position.
Failing in this he managed to turn
his craft further in shore, and an in
slant later the craft crashed into the
edge of the surf not 500 feet from the
spot where, on Dec. 10 last, he had fin.
ished his ocean-to-ocean fight. Many
men rushed to his aid Ernest Scott
and James Goodwin, life guards, were
first to reach him. They said Rodgers
head was hanging over one wing of
the machine, the heavy engine was on
his back, and his feet were drawn up
nearly double over his shoulders.
Rodgers was lifted from the wreck
and hurried to the bath house hos
pital. He died on the way.
Examination showed that his neck,
jawbone and back had been broken. A
telegram was sent to the aviator's
widow, who lives in Pasadena, Cal,
and a cablegram to his mother, Mrs.
H. S. Schweitzer, who is now in Lon
don. The body was prepared for
burial and sent to Pasadena.
Charles Shaffer, a close friend of
Rodgers, and who came here on the
special train that followed the aviator
on his transcontinental trip, witnessed
the accident. In speaking of Rodgers
care-free spirit while in the air, Mr..
Shaffer said he had taken many flights
with Rodgers, but the most surpris-
ing example of recklessness he had
ever seen was yesterday.
1--WE had risen to a height of about
5000 feet" said Shaffer, land were
off to the northeast The wind was
strong, but not puffy. Rodgers, feign-
ing he was tired, lay back, folded his
hands behind his head and stretched
out his feet, seemingly enjoying the
scenery. | said to him: You better
watch out, Cal. the wind might get
you but he answered, oh, we're all
right; she's ridden the wind before
and she'll ride it now"
Rodgers is the twenty-second Amer
lean aviator to be killed.
