PIaudit For Our D. A. Mcleod.

Farmers Union Advocate.
Speaking of the Press Fund, we
are in receipt Of a letter from Broth
err D. A. Mcleod of lernal, in which
he says:
Il am very much interested in the
Home and in the printing press.
Nothing, to my mind, would add
more to the Union cause than these
two things, and when you go to
work I have $15 more to put in the
work .
Brother Mcleod is really the in
stigator of the movement to build a
home and equip printing Office.
Nearly two years ago he sent a check
to this Office as a neucleus for the
fund. 1t was decided the time was
not quite ripe and a few months la
ter, when It was inaugurated, Broth
err Mcleod came across with the first
contribution.
The clan of Mcleod is a numerous
one in Mississippi and all of them are
staunch members Of the Farmer S
Union. If they were not Chief Dan
would disown all who wavered in
their allegiance to this organization.
If we bad few more as enthusias
tic in this movement as Brother Nc
Leod, the home and printing plant
would have boon an accomplished
fact ere this.

Thinks 1t Should Be Repealed.
Crystal Springs Meteor.

Crystal Springs Meteor.
The state press is discussing pro
and con the repeal Of the law Great
ing the Office of county attorney,
which many papers contend was
created, not as a necessity to be APP
peased, but solely as a purpose of re-
warding political service. Be this
as it may, the Office is nothing more
nor less than a sinecure, maintained,
it is true, by contributions from con-
victed criminals by the simple pro-
cess of adding a fee to the salary OF
the county attorney thus relieving
the county of the expense. If the
county attorney prosecuted in all
cases and secured convictions he is
entitled to his salary, but to sit in a
snug Office and draw stipend for
doing nothing seems anomalous. 1t
is also paradoxical for a criminal to
pay for his conviction and yet the
workings Of the statute creating the
Office provides that the guilty shall
pay for their conviction, falling in
the aggregate to do this the county
must supplement- the deficit. In some
counties the office seems to be a ne
cessity; in others, there does not ap
pear to be any urgency for two pros
ecuting attorneys. The best solu-
ton of the mooted question IS a
change in the law authorizing the
several counties to retain or abolish
the Office. as seems best.

zen, for we can never tell when some

fore the present month January has
sped away, for this is the year we
elect the highest officer in the land,
the President of the United States.
Then Mississippi elects congress-
men this year. So there will be pri-
maries for that, and possibly also to
select. q Democratic Presidential
nominee. Besides our state may be
called upon by the legislature to
elect members for a Constitutional
Convention, one of the most vital
bodies to it's sacred interests a SOW
ereign state can assemble: and if not
that, grave Constitutional amend
ments to vote on; and county auton-
omy may be invoked by legislation
growing out of the County Attorney

tanning or abolishing that Office. So
you can see this year promises to be
fraught with important elective de
mands. Prepare for it at the tax

The proposition recommended late
~ to Congress by Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock, of the postal service
acquiring control of the telegraph
systems of the country, strikes us as
timely and economic He cites the
fact that in many of the small towns
the mails and telegraph business
could be handled from the same office
at the present expense of one. Like
the great cOmmoner, William Jen-
nings Bryan, we believe that when
an enterprise which is a public SER
vitor becomes beyond the control of
the government without the govern
ment acquiring ownership, then the
government should buy it up and
operate it itself. The postmaster
general shows that Statutes already
exist, enacted as far back as in the
dos for the purchase and at an ap-
praised value and operation for pos
tai and military purposes of the tele-
graphs. In fact the first telegraph
was operated for three years under
United States auspices. In this way
only do we believe in socialism or.
populism succeeding: having some of
it's tenets adopted by a safe party or
through general sentiment after
thoroughly Weighing in the balance
OF time and patriotic reasoning. and
finding them wholesome and oppor
tune.

FAvORING INCREASE TO SUPREME COURT

Possibly this paper has before now
expressed Its conviction that the SUI
preme Court should be increased, but
If so repetition Of such conviction
will not hurt row that such meas
ure is under serious consideration by
the Legislature, but If any thing
should tend to strengthen the cause.
The confusion resulting from rever-
sing itself where but three are on the
bench, as is the case in this state, III
is well exemplified bv the 10th sec
ton school land matter. Nearly ev-
cry time new Justice is appointed
anxiety is created for the last decis-
ion upon that veXations question,
fearing that the new man will side
with the minority of the court (one)
and give majority {two), once agaio
crossing the seeming settled mind Of
the court. The Supreme Court OF
the United States has reversed itself
but few times in the history of the
Nation, owing to the fact of numbers
upon it's bench. Then of course lon
geyity of service figures with that
court, where it doesn t with ours,
they being disappointed for life and
ours only for a term of years. Let US
have an amendment to the Constltu-
ton creating two more justices, max
ing it five, which will guard against
the evil we speak of and insure
speedy considerations. With the
Commissioners abolished there is
nothing now in the way of this leg
islation unless it be thought the APP
pellate Court would answer and that
will not, though the increase of our
population, considered we have about
reached the time when such an infe-
rior court of appeals becomes a neces-
sity for handling minor matters. The
matter of expense may delay this
legislation or some portion of it, but
we hardly think economy is we'll la
ken in such a serious question as the
creation of proper and ample court
machinery wherein The rights of man
and bis property may have due and
fulsOme consideration.

State wide Prohibition is not a
failure in this state nor in other
states where the public sentiment
is sufficiently edutated up to the ne
cessity for restraining laws against
the liquor troffic, and where such
sentiment is kept alive by persistent
and sensible teaching through all the
available avenues. Every year a
new crop of adults are ushered in
in and these have to be impressed
with the logic of the liquor laws
while at the impressionablc age, or
else cautiously they may fall in with
the fallicious arguments subtly adj
vanced through many channels by
the wholesale and retail liquor deal
ers associations. Educate, Indoctri-
nate, is the word for the continuous
suppression of the sale of intoxicants
for other than medical purposes.
May Mississippians not be derelict of
their duty in this respect.

Should Taboo Those Russell Sermons.

New Orleans Christian Advocate.
Many Of the country weekly news
papers and not a few dailies are car
rying plate matter giving the ser
mons Of Pastor Russell of the Brock
lyn Tabernacle. It appears that
some editors think they are afford
ing their subscribers good religious
reading, but the contrary seems evil
dent. Pastor Russell misses the rec
Iognized standards Of Christian doc
trine about as far as any self styled
Christian preacher in the country.
He denies the doctrine of final pun
.ishment; teaches that those who
have faith in Christ shall be joint
heirs with him and shall occupy a
better place than others in heaven,
to which place all the families Of
the earth " are going; predicts that
we are rapidly nearing the dawn of
the millennium and the claiming OF
Satan for a thousand years, and con-
veniently advocates about every
form of destructive criticism. The
fact is that PASTOR RUSSELL sermons
are nothing less than q mild form of
moral lectures discriminating against
pure orthodoxy, and the readers OF
secular papers that contain his ser
mons should interview the editors
and insist on having these discOurses
discontinued. "A. J. G..
