REALIZE BENEFITS
OF GOOD HIGHWAYS
Western and Pacific States
Are Making Rapid Prog
ress in Road Building.

Realizing thoroughly the great value
OF road building in the development of
their sections of the country. the western
and Pacific states are making startling
highway progress agitation and have
made a substantial beginning In actual
construction. This will be the keynote
Of the report which the chairman OF the
American Automobile Association execu-
tive committee Will transmit to the COM
mittee at its fall meeting. 1t was In
following out the idea Of President Rob
ert P. Hooper that Mr.. Batchelder has
just completed his recent second circuit
Of visits to A. A. A associations and clubs
in the far west including attending a
series OF important good roads conven-
tions.
ITO comprehend the unanimous good
roads interest which exists In the west. :
says Mr. Batchelder, "one has only to
attend such a convention as that held at
Logan, Utah, by the Inter Mountain
Good Roads Association, in the delibera-
tons of which both men and women par
ticipated. Six states were represented.
and as result 1t is certain that both
congressional and state legislators will
hear from home up to the casting OF the
ballots In November.
Obstacles Can Be Surmounted.
1T liz to be expected that all through
the intermountain and northwest coun-
try there Is q pronounced belief that
whatever plans are necessary should be
quickly consummated for the admission
Of motor driven vehicles into Yellowstone
Park. A trip through this wonderland
convinced me that the obstacles which
seemed to exist can be easily surmount-
ed. and the demand for action will soon
become SO pronounced that the Secretary
OF the Interior will be compelled to give
the subject positive attention.
In laying out d northern transcon-
tinental road A. L. Westgard. the A. A.
A. pathfinder. included the spur from
Livingston. Mont. TO Gardiner. the north
ern gateway of the Yellowstone Park.
Ultimately the roads approaching the
park from Yellowstone on the west. Cody
on the east and Jackson lake on the
south will have to be improved in order
that access will be possible from every
direction. The spur from the main road
included in the transcontinental line, and
1t Is timely to note that Glacier Is even
now open to motor-driven vehicles.
thanks to the energy of the Flathead
Motor Club. which. out OF it's own treas
ury, paid the expense of the connecting
road. Rainier National Park is also open
to motorists. and there is great prob
ability that within the coming year the
Yosemite valley will also provide for
up-to-date forms of transport

No Use Argueing Rendered vsrdicts.

Greneda Sentinel.
We are glad to observe that there
has been a peace pact catered into
by friends on both sides of the sena
torial contest In the legislature. This
is good. Let US hope that peace
spirit will be encouraged throughout
the state and that the action of the
leaders in every camp will square
with signed agreements. Tqere are
too many able and brainy men in the
legislature for them to allow issues
that have been already settled to in
terfere with the discharge of sacred
duties. The mills cannot grind with
the waters that are past. 1t is a
useless waste of time to argue for
verd,cts already rendered. The past
behind US. gentlemen, and look to
the future.

vardaman Patiently Bore calumny.

Yazoo City Sentinel.
Some OF the anti Vardaman papers
are asking why Mr.. Vardaman did
not heretofore give publicity to the
facts of his innocence, made public
last week by the Legislative Investi-
eating Committee. This is easily
understood. Mr.. Vardaman knew
full well that the attacks made upon
him were not prompted by any hon.
est motives to protect the interests
of the State, but simply to damn
him in the eyes of the people, and
Vardaman was big enough and broad
enough to bear the calumnies of bis
traducers until such time as the facts
might be brought out by an impair
tial investigation. With all the
charges OF radicalism that have been
brought against Mr.. Vardaman, there
is hardly another man in the State
who would have shown such self-re-
straint and such calm forbearance as
has Major Vardaman.

Some writer for the daily press
over at Jackson, has summarized the
situation in Mississippi as 20 Con-
gressmen having opposition, and
states in abiding to the Hon. B. P.
Harrison of the 9Th. district, that so
far nobody threatens to dispute hon.
ors with him and that he is mighty
willing to have matters go that way.
If somebody wants the alloverest
licking politically which this part OF
the state has seen for years if ever,
just let them just jump into the race
next Summer with our Pat. His
popularity has increased with his in
cumbency, and he overwhelming de-
feated two formidable and we'll known
candidates two years ago, though
comparatively unknown over all but
a small portion of the district. We
trust he will be spared the annoy
ance and expense and drudgery of
making an active fight for his return
this year, as he has but been up there
about the right period to be coming
into ripe usefulness, and with prob
able Democratic President at the
White House, more than every would
this part of Mississippi at this time
profit from having trained and
amiable man representing it in Con-
gress.

Noble Sentiment Of Motherhood.

Grenada Sentinel.
Governor Brewers mother, who
sat close beside him during the de-
livery OF his inaugural address, was
asked, when the Governor had fin
ished his address, Isn't this the
happiest moment of your life?" her
answer was, II was just as happy
when my boys joined the church. =
Only great mother could have ut
tered such sentiment. A mother
who is SO fixed in her religious con
victlons as not to be carried away by
worldly honors, could hardly fail to
have son without extraordinary
virtues and endowments. When
what the good old mother had said
was made known a little while after
ward to the new Governor, his eyes
filed with tears.
The good old lady, like every 9TH
er true mother, was ambitious for
her three boys, and the induction of
her oldest son into the Governor $
Office, enabled her to see the fulfill
ing of wish expressed when the
boys were young. She said she hop
ed to see one, sheriff of Carroll coun-
ty, one practicing physician and
another in the Governors chair.
Mississippians rejoice that she has
seen the fruition of the hopes of her
younger motherhood. May her DAYS
yet be many.

Is a Dry Legislature.
Newton Record.

Newton Record.
That the present legislature has
been termed a dry one," is decd
edly to its credit. Hon. ]. A. Lewis
the veteran legislator from Chicka-
saw county, says that he has been
unable to detect the odor of whiskey
in the house this year. The fact that
Mr.. Lewis has not tasted whlskey in
oyer nifty years renders him a good
Judge in such matters, and he would
have likely detected the whiskey
scent on the breath of the solons
with whom he has been associated,
had it been going the rounds very
much. He says that the hot odor of
whiskev was very pronounced in the
session of 1910. a thing that has been
generally known ever since.

Gulfport Daily Herald.
1t is high time that justice was
being melted out to South Mississip-
pi, whose population has so largely
increased, emitting it to larger
tation and to better school
facilities.
The history of the fight of this
section for better representation is
too well known to need rehearsal.
The other sections of the state have
waited until they can no longer wait
to give this recognition.
The fact that the present distri-
button of the school fund gives coun-
ties with large negro population
more money than is their share, at
the expense of the white counties, is
also topic that is no new one to
anyone versed in the affairs OF the
state. If the present legislature
remedies these two crying injustices
it will have done much to enshrine
its members forever in the hearts OF
the people of the state.

Cotton Acreage Reduction Mere TwaddIe

Brookhaven Leader.
All this talk about reduction of
cotton acreage is twaddle, and if it
did result in reduction, where lies
the assurance that good culture on
smaller area will not add to rather
than decrease the cotton harvest?
Safety lies in one line and one alone
the production of abundance of
corn, meat and other farm supplies
and putting the cotton crop to the
profit account. There is no more
profitable line of agriculture than
cotton farming to the home liver. and
our southern country abounds with
men who have solved the problem in
that way. But as the old saying
goes, I'VE can, t all fish; some must
dig bait. +"

Doesn't Want To Injure BuckIey's Chances
Waynesboro News-Beacon.

WayneSOOrO NeWS-D0dcOH.
We learn that Governor Brewer
has given it out that he does not in
tend to appoint any lawyer to a
judgeship who is declared appli-
can't. This means that any set OF
petitions or letters or recommends
tions will only harm prospective
Aspirants chances and that the Gov
ernor means to make his own per-
sonal selection in each case. Govern
or Brewer may be right in this but
many of us would like to speak a
good word for Judge Buck ley but at
the same time do not want to put
our Judge out of the pale of the Gov
ernor's consideration by making
Judge Buckley "a declared appli-
can't" We all hope that Governor
Brewer will reappoint Judge Buck
ley anyway because he has made such
splendid record since he has been
on the bench that he deserves an
other term.

In order to get where better press
facilities were available, the South
ern Farm Gazette has moved from
Starksville. Miss, to Memphis, Tenn.
and changes its name to the South
ern Farmer. IT'S a splendid farm
periodical; easily the peer of any cir
culated in this section, and it has a
tremendous circulation in MISSISSIPPI
pi and neighboring states of the Cot
ton Confederacy. We enjoy scan
ming its pages and believe it fills a
need not even supplied by the Union
Advocate. as that goes mainly to
members of the Farmers Union, and
there are now and will always be q
number OF progressive farmers, who
do not choose to affiliate with any
organization of that kind. We be-
speak for it a more extended patron
age among our farmers in Greene
County. Even If YOU get the Advo-
cate you will find If will buttress

being burdened with the song of or

ter on the allied subjects of hus-

4 Somewhat Doubtful Compliment.


Pascagouia Denocrat-Star.
Our Own Beloved Pat Harrison,
the brilliant young congressman,
who is making for himself splendid
record n Washington, and, inclden-
tallg shedding bright lustre on the
names OF Mississippi's representa-
tives, introduced . resolution in the
democratic caucus during the week
demanding that all future caucuses
be "open" and not secret" right
as usual, but he was sat upon by a
vote oI something ike 1913 to ~. and
the democratic causes in Washington
will be close " 10 al except demo-
Gratis. Pat ID rendered the nefari-
Gus story unfolded in Mississippi
during the past year, and recalled
the odium attached to secret eau
Gus, - and he determined to fight
against such thing.
In Mississippi the legislature was
and is OF but one political color,
stripe or allegiance. Congress has
It's republicans, democrats, socialists
ct al. A caucus of either or any of
these parties must be secret" as
far as the others are concerned. That
fact is self-evident and too patent,
Pat, to allow of contradiction. The
resolution finally adopted was that
the democratic caucuseS shall be con-
fined to democratic members of the
house, the necessary house attaches
and the journal clerk, it being de-
termined to print a journal of each
caucus after it is over. That is good
democracy. It is parliamentary. 1t
is sound logic. 1t is self-protection
and prevents the intrusion of inter-
lopers and anti-democrats. We're the
congress of the United States, like
the legislature of Mississippi, all
democratic, secret" caucus would
not only be unnecessary, but would
of Alright arouse the ire of Congress
man Pat and every right thinking
democrat in the nation.
