In spite OF muck raking newspaper correspondents who tramp
in and out of Jackson and who occasionally get a part of their dope
in the various daily papers represented in Jackson, the cleaning pro-
cess inaugurated by Gov. Brewer goes on and the people at large are
in the most perfect accord and il" the most perfect sympathy with
him, as every honest man should be.
The article which appeared. in the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat last Sunday, touching charges of bribery in connection with the
Belzoni new county proposition, was evidently inspired by the bunch
in trouble and showed that they we're either trying to open a path
way in which to run or make a bed to fall on in advance of the
courts action. The talk of rival political factions" and laying
traps to catch each Other" is the verest: rot and is only done with
the hope of throwing dust in the eyes of the people in order that
they may not see the thing lin all its hideousness and horrors. Ri
val political factions" is all popycock. Gov. Brewer has repeatedly
SAID that he is not a candidate for office nor will he be while Cover
nor and the only faction" in this affair is that represented by those
who have betrayed the people and who went once too often for the
filthy lucre which the love of, so sayeth the Scriptures, lis the root
of all evil"

We Judge from sundry things which have come to our knowl-
edge that the coming session of the legislature will again be be-
seged by the sckiy sentimentalist and certain Jackson real estate
owners to appropriate money to rehabilitate the old capitol. The
proposition ought to be hit so hard by the Legislature that it would
show no evidences of activity for years to come. The public has
not forgotten that when the demand for a new capitol building was
being pushed that the most competent" and skilled" architects
said that it was an impossbiity to make the old building safe.
Now it Is stated that "expert architects" say that the matter of re-
juvenating the old structure is an easy task. 1t therefore appears
that there are architects, like many medical experts in the trial of
so-cahed insane persons-the largest purse is much considered in
shaping opinions.

many are gathered around them. Not only do these things cult
vate the gaming habit in the boy, but they cause him to spend
money and sometimes make bills which the fathers and mothers are
called upon to pay. We have heard more than one parent complain
quite recently.
We are persuaded that there is not a business man in Grenada
who would knowingly or deliberately connect anything with his bus
mess that would sow seeds which would lead any boy into strange
paths and implant within him desire that in later years might rum

The city attorney advises us that the city authorities have ample
authority to legislate these devices out of Grenada. This would be

~SE.MI-GAMBLING DETICES

There are several places in Grenada where punch-boards and
other semi-gambling devices are operated. They should be stopped
by the city authorities. We see boys congregate around these de-
vices and we know that some of them are investing their money in
them. These devices are seemingly innocent propositions and we
feel sure that those who are operating them have not stopped to
measure consequences and have not realized the tendency of the les

RUMORS HURTFUL

The Sentinel calls attention to the statement of DR.. J. w. Young
elsewhere in this issue and we all know that whatever he states about
any matter is true. People should always be careful about repeating
iumors; certainly no rumor should be given currency that is calcu-
lated to injure any citizen or any community. Facts are facts. Let
everybody be careful and know what they are repeating about any
illness in Grenada. -
