TAFT OUT OF THE RUNNING.

With the loss of Ohio last week
and New Jersey on Tuesday, it
is now apparent that Mr.. Taft
will not be the nominee of his
party. He has proven to be a
poor candidate and his party
would face defeat with him as
their standard bearer.
Coming into the presidential
chair at a time when the pro-
gressive spirit was sweeping the
country Mr.. Taft failed to re-
spond to the demands made upon
him, and his party lost the Nat
ional house of representatives by
an overwhelming vote at the first
election following his Inaugural
ton. With a democratic house
and an insurgent senate he has
met with stubborn opposition in
attempting to carry out his pol
icies and in going before the
country seeking reelection he
finds that his former friends and
supporters are no longer back of
him and he is left to fight an un-
even battle almost alone.
While it is apparent that his
party can not afford to nominate
the president at Chicago it is not
improbable that he may be able
to name the nominee over the
protests of Mr.. Roosevelt. If
Mr.. Taft succeeds in doing this,
he will render the country a sig
nal service.
The nomination and election Of
any man for the third time is a
dangerous precedent and it would
be a long stride to wards a dicta-
t ,rship. The history and prec-
edents of the country should be
respected and followed Wash
ington wouldn't, Grant couldn't,
and Roosevelt shouldn't be pres
ident a third time.
The Tupelo journal., 1912-05-31

Dictator Roosevelt has inform
ed the republican committee
that Senator Root. of New York,
is persona non grata to him and
that he will name Gov. Hadley,
of Missouri, as temporary chair
man of the Chicago convention
in the place of Senator Root
whom the national committee
have selected. Right here will
determine the question of Roose-
velt's strength and if he sue
ceeds in rough riding over the
established custom of every par
ty, then the democrats will have
him to beat at the polls.
The Tupelo journal., 1912-05-31

Good roads have been termed
the cornerstone of agricultural
success, and you find farmers
who term themselves progress
sives fighting a bond issue where
the money will go to build good
roads right at them. This kind
of a farmer is the worst kind of
a reactionary, he is a mossback.
The Tupelo journal., 1912-05-31

A poll of the senate has been
made by the friends of Senator
Lorimer of Illinois, and the ma
jority are against his keeping his
seat. But, the Illinois senator
did not pay as much to get into
the senate as Senator Stephen
son, the difference lying in the
fact that Stephenson went into
the open after his votes and Lor.
inner corraled the legislature.

Engineer Lyman E. Cooley
comes forward with the state
ment that if the Great Lakes
were drained the country would
be enriched by the addition of
Ia, GOO, 900 acres of valuable farm
lands. If Engineer Cooley could
succeed in keeping the Mis-
sissippi Valley properly drained
at all seasons of the year there
would be enough land in that
territory to support ten times

In consequence of repeated insinu-
ations, emanating from local news
paper, rejecting on the ability and
good faith of the city and county at
torney, we have, by committee, inquired
into every case on the calendar of the
present year handled by Mr.. Cathcart.
We have had specific charges laid be.
fore us in regard to the attorneys dis
position of certain cases before the cir
cult court, which, in our opinion, de-
manded an investigation We accord
ingly interviewed the judge of this
court, the sheriff, the chief of detec-
tives, Attorney A. M. Brown and Judge
Whitney, and after making very strict
and searching examination into the
cases eenumerated, we are forced to the
conclusion that in some instances the
charges were not supported by the facts
and in others that the only disposition
of the cases possible was that made
in view of the evidence on hand.
We are Of the opinion that Mr.. Cath
cart has displayed, and is displaying,
both diligence and ability in the dis.
charge of his duties and that he is an
unusually able prosecuting officer; that
he has never been found derelict in his
duty, but on the contrary, from our
personal knowledge, is most persistent
and anxious TO secure convictions
