Hon. Walter Price.

Hon. Walter Price, one of the
most distinguished sons of the
great old county of Noxubee, is
a candidate for United States
marshal of his district under
President Wilson. Senator Price
has played a prominent part in
the affairs of Noxubee county
as we'll as in the legislative halls
of the state for many years. He
is a democrat of the democrats
and has always labored in season
and out of season for the welfare
of his party, believing that the
happiness and prosperity OF all
the people will be more readily
accomplished through the infu-
ences of that party. A man of
sterling integrity, possessing a
heart which is as sympathic and
tender as that of the gentlest
woman, and yet, one of dauntless
courage, he is in the highest and
best sense equipped for the re-
sponsible position which heseeks.
President Wilson would honor
his ADMINISTRATION by appointing
Walter Price, and the Journal
gladly endorses him as worthy
of any position which he would
seek.

The great rush of tuberculosis

The great rush of tuberculosis
patients to New York for treat
ment by DR.. Friedman has re-
suited in disappointment to a
great majority who have gone.
DIR. Friedman does not treat
patients in advanced stages and
only a limited number of cases
that are considered durable.
Reports from Germany where
his serum was first used, an
nounce that patients treated be-
fore he left for this country, are
showing great Improvement.
The medical fraternity have been
slow to accept DR.. Freidman's
discovery as a cure for the dread
disease, but Notwithstanding,
the skepticism of the profession
he continues to work and within
a short time patients treated in
this country will have ample
time to show Improvement.

A judge in South Carolina is
reported to have sentenced a boy
to the penitentiary II years for
stealing a bottle of soda water.
In Pennsylvania a man has just
been discharged from the peni-
Tertiary after serving 10 years
for breaking into a hen house
and stealing chickens. In neither
of the above cases did the
punishment fit the crime. No
doubt, under the evidence in
each case both were guilty of a
theft. In most states such Of
fences are ~denominated petty
larceny and the punishment is
limited to the character Of the
offense. Just how a judge could
work himself up to the point of
sending a boy up for II years
for stealing a bottle of soda
water or another who would rob
"a man of 10 years Of his life for
stealing chickens is almost be-
yond comprehension. In the
administration of our criminal
laws more can be gained by
showing mercy than by making
hardened criminals out of the
young by cruel and inhuman
punishment. 1t is the wise and
safe Judge who can make the
punishment fit the crime and
can temper justice with mercy.

AS now constituted the Senate
committee having charge of the

posed to the repeal of the toll
exemption clause of American

ton to free passage through the
canal free of toll of all shipments

originates with the transcontl-

England in behalf of the Canada

A HOSPITAL FoR TuPELo

In this issue Hon. P. E. Car
others, representative for this
county in the lower house OF the
legislature, calls attention to the
necessity of an early start and
a united effort on the part of our
people to secure the proposed
hospital for Tupelo. AS Mr..
Carothers states, the bill passed
the senate during the last sitting
Of the legislature, but owing to
the lateness of its introduction
and the condition of the states
finances at that time. it failed to
receive the necessary support to
pass the house. If our people
want the hospital located here
some steps should be taken to
get the matter in shape to be
presented to the legislature as
early as possible. Bills that call
for appropriations should be in
troduced as early as possible in
order to get in on the estimate
of the expenditures, or their de-
feat on account of the lack Of
funds.
Mr.. Carothers also calls atten-
ton to Tupelo's location. There
is no state hospital in North Mis-
sissippi. There is need for one
and Tupelo is situated at the most
advantageous point for the loca-
ton of this hospital. There is a
territory around us that can be
better accommodated at Tupelo
than anywhere else. The dis
tances to the cities that have
hospitals, Memphis, Birmingham
st. Louis, Meridian are too great
to afford the accommodation that
the people need and are entitled
to. We should have a hospital
nearer, one supported by our
own people, and to which the
person without means can be
carried with as little expense as
possible and treated without
cost.
If Tupelo wants to secure the
new hospital that will uudoubt-
eddy be located somewhere in
North Mississippi by the next
legislature we must get busy and
have our bid ready before the
legislature meets again.

Letter from Dozier Anderson.

POST-OFFICE. N
| take this means of announc-
ing the fact that / am an appli-
cant to succeed myself as post
master.
Should | remain in office until
the 10th Of April, | will have
been postmaster for eleven
years. The first four years of
my ~incumbency were very stem
uous years indeed for me. My
hours of service during this
time were from 4:3O a. M, until
about 9 p. m. l took but one
vacation during this entire time
and it was for less than a week.
My hours Of service now are
from $50 a. M, until 7:3O p. m.
The office came under civil SER
vice rules as to the number of
hours in which the clerks are
permitted to work, on March 4th.
This rule though does not apply
to the postmaster and assistant
postmaster. While the clerks
are not allowed to put in over
forty-eight hours per week there
is no limitation to the hours that
the postmaster and his assistant
postmaster may work. To keep
my clerks within the forty-eight
hour limit, last week | had to
put in twelve hours myself on
Sunday.
An order was issued by the
Postmaster General several
months ago curtailing the SER
vice altogether on Sundays. ex-
cept in reference to the hotels
andthe publishers of newspapers.
l felt that if this law was put in
to effect at this office, that it
would be very detrimental to the
business and professional inter-
ests Of the town. | wrote to the
Postmaster General stating that
l was perfectly willing to handley
the Sunday mails, as we had
formerly done. My request was
granted and l have been giving
the same service to the holders of
boxes as l did before this ruling
went into effect, except not open
ing the general delivery window.
| mention this to show the pat
rons of this office that | have
not been unmindful of their in
terests.
Since | have been postmaster
| have been a regular contribut-
or to each of the Democratic
campaigns; in a small way, how
ever, although l was invited by
letter, to contribute to the party
that had put me in power. II
ignored all such requests, and
remained of course. loyal to my
party, which is also the party of

Democratic party. was report
ed for contributing one dollar to
the Bryan and Kern campaign
fund. The department sent an
inspector to investigate me off
cially. Inspector found that |
had only contributed as a private
citizen, which is permissible,
and hadn't used my official posi-
ton, to advance my parties in
terests. | mention the above
facts as to my loyalty with con
siderable feeling of qualification.
The po%stofflce department is
now one of the greatest business
institutions of our country, every
citizen IS directly interested, for
they have to patronize this
whether they like the postmaster
or not. The position of post
master is just as important as
the position of cashier of a bank.

BODY OF UNKNOWN
FOUND AT PESHASTIN
Unknown Man Found Floating in Wenat-

Fell From Dam Dec. 5

The body Of a man believed to be
that Of John Wall, logger, who fell
off the dam the night of Dec. 5 was
found floating in the Wenatchee river
near Peshastin Tuesday forenoon. j.
B. Bowers and his nephew Elmer Bow
ers who were walking TO Peshastin on
the south side first discovered the
body floating down the river near Guy
Stages places. They continued to
follow it and succeeded in pulling the
remains ashore near the E. K. Harvey
place. Coroner May was notified and
arrived on the scene the same day,
but the body was in such bad condi-
ton it was impossible to establish any
kind of an identification. On the ad-
vice of the coroner the remains were
buried in the Cashmere cemetery. The
clothes worn by the man indicated
that he was logger. Five dollars and
some small change still remained in
his pockets which does away with the
theory that he met with foul play.

WILL DOUBLE SIZE
OF W.S.&I. PLANT
Work viii Begin in Short Time-Mgr.
Rothert will Attend Stockholders
Meeting Next Week

"One OF the first Improvements plan
ned after we get our factory in opera
ton is the doubling of the size of the
plant" stated E. H. Rothert, manager
of the Washington Steel & Iron Co..
this week. 1t is the intention to be
turning out steel inside Of the next
thirty or forty days. and by that time
the installing of new machinery which
will double the steel output will have
begun" Mr.. Rothert stated that the
three other factories, which are to be
located at Denver Colo, Superior Wis.
and Rochester N. Y, work on which
will begin this summer, will be four
times as large as the one located here.
Over 400 tons Of ore is now on hand
which runs between so and 70 per
cent iron and there are four or five
more carloads on the way which will
arrive here in few days. Most of the
machinery is now in place and when
the furnaces have been built and the
stack connections made, the plant will
practically be ready for operation.

To Pay leaders Salaries

On Saturday, April 26, an election
will be held at the school house asking
the patrons to authorize the school
directors to issue $4,000 worth Of 7%
interest bearing school warrants, to pay
teachers salaries.
1t appears that the board spent more
money for improvements and equip
ment than was taken into account when
the tax levy was made so that the board
now finds there is not enough money
remaining to the credit Of the district
to pay teachers salaries, wherefore it
is necessary to ask the patrons Of the
school for authority to issue interest
bearing warrants.

MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM
PRACTICALLY COMPLETED
Water viii Be Turned into Pipes Within
Next Two Weeks Distribution
System Almost Completed

Meeting Mr.. Seaman, whose firm
has the contract to put in Leaven-
worth's municipal water system, that
gentleman said: I'VE are Just about
through with your water system. All
the pipes on the north side of the
track are laid and only a small portion
remains to be laid on the south side.
This week we are connecting up the
new system with that portion Of the
Tumwater Company's pipes which can
be made use of by the city, and, if
nothing unforeseen occurs we will be
able to turn the water into the pipes
at the end of two weeks. The intake
line was completed las; fall and the
reservoir is also complete. The line
which connects the distribution system
with the reservoir was completed three
weeks ago. Laying the steel pipe on
the bottom of the river was accom-
plished without hitch.
The people Of Leavenworth will
be served with Icicle river water within
a month if the city authorities want the
connections made and the water turned
into the pipes. OF course it will re-
-quire a week, perhaps longer, for the
pipes to swell, to flush the reservoir
and the pipes in order to remove any
foreign matter that may have collected
in them during construction and get
rid of the wood and mineral taste with
which the water may have become i'm
pregnated.

MERRITT STATION AGENT
KILLED WHILE HUNTING
Charles Gay, G. N. Agent at Merritt,
Meets Death Last Saturday Through
Accidental Discharge of Rifle

Charles Gay, Great Northern Station
Agent at Merritt, twenty-one miles
west Of this city, was killed last Satur-
day afternoon, supposedly by the acci-
dental discharge of his rife. Mr.. Gay,
accompanied by his IA year old son
Chalmer and his sister Miss Eva Ameri-
man, was out in the mountains hunting
at the time OF the accident and when
the fatal shot was fired they were sever
al hundred feet from him, as he had
announced few minutes before that
he thought he heard bear. On hear
ing the shot they fastened to the spot
only to find him stretched lifeless on
the ground. The rife lay some four
or FIVE feet from the body. The bullet,
80 calibre special, had entered the
throat, severing the windpipe, and it is
believed that death resulted instantly.
About three months ago his son
Chalmer Gay had a narrow escape from
death when he accidently shot himself,
the bullet passing through the corner
Of his eye.
Coroner May investigated the case
and his inquiries snbstantiate the belief
of the dead mans family that the
shooting was accidental. Mr., Gay.
according to the testimony Of the
neighbors. had no financial or other
worries, and had been in good health
and spirits. Surviving are the widow,
a son. the deceased's father, Dr.. James
w. Gay, of La Harpe, ILL.,, and three
sisters and one brother. The remains
were sent by the Wenatchee Under
taking Company to Oquawka, ILL.,, for
interment.
