He smiled at her anxiety about the

with the assurance: Say. don't worry

Deliver us from the narrow-brained
numskull whose muscles of correct
reasoning have long since been that
far atrophied as TO insult an intelli-
gent public by assuming such a po-
sition for his church, his political
party, faction, his section, state, ma
ton or country. This writer glories
in the Thought that he is a citizen of
the whole world, that our patriot
ism transcends geographical lines,
and that our faith, political and re-
igioue, is broad-sweeping enough to
recognize good also in the other or
CARNATIONS or affiliations rather than
alone in the particular one to which
we happen to belong.

Harrison Champions Parcels Post.

Bay ST. Louis Echo.
The Echo has received copy OF
the speech delivered by Congressman
Pat Harrison in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Saturday, April 18th,
fayoring the parcels post. Mr.. Har-
rison cites expressions from 30 for
eign countries where the parcels post
is a success; quotes from Senator
John Sharp Williams, who tavors the
the proposed change, and, in conclu-
sion, says; The es adjustment of a
scientific, general parcels post on a
zone sys lem, will practically put the
express companies out of business.
unless they reduce their present ex-
orbitant rates to the public. IF we,
by establishing a parcels post sys-
TEN, cause the express companies to
reduce their rates then we have per
formed great service, not only TO
the merchant, but to all classes Of the
people,

The Farmer and the County Paper.

Progressive Farmer, Memphis.
A good local newspaper is one OF
the surest signs of a progressive com
munity and it is to every farmer s in
terest to do what he can to make his
county paper a good paper. It tells
him things which he should know and
which no other paper can tell him.
Often it will be the best advertising
medium he can use and If the editor
realizes that the farmers in his ter
ritory are trying to help him make a
good paper, he is more than likely to
be willing on his part to do all he can
to advance the interests of the rural
sections. We realize that too many
local papers give practically all their
attention to the town and neglect the
country districts, but we wonder
sometimes if this is not almost as
much the farmers fault as it is the
papers. Get in touch with your To-
cal paper. Send in to it any item Of
local news you may have. Let the
editor know about any good farming
that is being done in your neighbor-
hood. Help him to see that the pros
perity Of town is founded upon the
prosperity Of the farming country
around it. In this way you can help
him make a better paper and enable
him to be Of more service to you and
10 the community

Pat Harrison recently made a speech
in Congress in behalf of the Parcels
Post bill. 1t was made up largely of
citations showing the benefcent re-
suits of that system IN European
countries and quoting John Sharp
Williams and other notables 10 its
favor. Pat could have chosen to
champion just now no more popular
measure to the heart of the common
people of this vast country of ours
than the parcels post, for too long,
yea, far too long, have the American
people groaned under the exorbitant
extortions of the ex press trust and
this is the measure that will quickest
and most effectnally give relief, and
if gradually adopted by our govern
ment on scientific lines, ascertained
for it's maintenance, will prove a
great blessing to the land. 1t bids
fair to be put into force by the pres
ent congress.

get our crops in, but how many times,
over and oyer again, has it been dem
onstrated that all things work to-
gether for good, and that late plant
ing is the best. Only last year near
drouth parched the early corn and it
was the late planting that made the
yield. And as for cotton, government
statistics show that Mississippi S
largest cotton crop, proportionate to
acreage, was planted during 6he lat
ter part Of May, 1907, after COM
plete inundation OF the Delta. Our
friends in the flooded districts have
suffered greatly from loss Of soil and
fences and houses and cattle, and our
sympathy should go out to them; but
we in this section are more scared
than hurt. 1t is a long time until
frost, That is one OF the very many
beauties and advantages of this sec
ton, and it is never too late to plant
corn and COTTON if you can mature
the crop before frost. Just hustle and
trust the Maker of the rain and the
sunshine and there will be no famine
in this land.

little obscure; however, it started
with a decaYing Of the jaw bone,
thought to be toothache. He was
carried to Mobile, but hum an ands
could give him no relief.
He was born April 9Th, 1904; died
April 18th, 1912, He leaves a moth
er, one brother and two sisters to Ia
ment his death ], as Ruben S teach
er last winter, am caused to wonder
why a child Of such a sweet dispose
ton; a child that was loved by all his
schoolmates, and who bad such a
bright mind, sto9ld be taken from
our midst? Nevertheless, we must
strive to realize that Jesus wants
some of this kind of children with
Him.
Ifeel sure that the s years and 20
days that this child spent on earth
was not lived in vain, for he never
came to a recitation without know
ing his lesson as perfectly as child
can learn one. And in his English
work it was almost impossible to give
more poetry than he could memorizs.
Ruben demonstrated his love by
bringing flowers and putting them on
the teachers desk. I trust that all
who were near and dear to Ruben
will come ito a realization Of the fact
that he is with Jesus, to dwell with
Him and the angels throughout eter-
nifty.

ROOseVeIt's Third Term Ambition and

Pascagoula Democrat-Sta

Pascagoula Democrat-Star
Ia 1904 Mr.. Roosevelt gave utter
ance to a lofty sentiment when he
positively asserted that the three
years of the Mckinley term he was
then serving constituted his first
tern. Again. ini9O7. Mr.. Roose-
welt repeated the sentiment, and sta
ted that he would not be a candidate
for third term. This holiness of
purpose, however, has dwindled into
nothingness now, and Mr.. Roosevelt
is again an active candidate for the
nomination at the hands Of his p arty
the same party that refused Grant S
ambition for third nomination, and
Grant is admitted to have been tie
most popular man in public life at
the time. Grant S ambi e. on ran
away with his more sober Judgment,
and Roosevelt,s ambition is leading
him to his POLITICAL destruction, too,
nearly half a century later The adj
vent of Roosevelt into the arena, how
ever, in the manner in which he has
made his announcement, tends to ma
terially strengthen the position of
the democrats throughout the naeion.
Every days developments appear to
indicate the election OF the democrat
ic nominee, and that the election will
be a sweeping victory.

disposition to be brought back into

and the continuous rains along its
valley interpose as an objection to
that end. The Mississippi Valley,
for the past several wekes, has re-
