GREENWOOD IHFLoRE COUNTY FRIDAY
ARE TAKING THEMSELVES
TOO SERIOUSLY.

Only a short time ago Con-
gresham SiSSon of the Fourth
Mississippi Congressional District,
made a show Of himself by dis
claiming against the Mikado of
Japan, as though prepared to
plunge this country into a war
with Japan, then stood for a call
down by the president and sub.
sided leaving the world at peace,
Now comes this same SiSSon al
Ieging that he is trying to ar
range for test case against the
traction company in Washington
for the purpose of ascertaining
Just what's wnat in the transfer
system employed by the compa.
ny. According to the first report
sent out on this last freak move
made by the gentleman from the
Fourth Mississippi District, he
boarded a street car last Friday
evening, presented 4 transfer to
the conductor, who refused TO
honor it, declaring that it was not
good at the corner at which the
congressman presented it. The
conductor called for fare, but the
nickel was not forthcoming. An
inspector appeared on the scene
and said he would hold the car
where it was all night, etc, but
the Mssissippian would not pay
the fare, contending that the
transfer was good.
The report further stated that a
woman who was in hurry to get
home, settled the question by
handing the conductor ten cents,
telling him to take out for Con-
gresham SisSon's fare and give
him the other nickel for a shave,
Paying the fare was bad enough,
but that lagniappe was a severe
reflection on one of our 81, 500and-
20-cent-mileage both way con-
greSsmen.
AS congress controls the Dis
trict Of Columbia, it would seem
as though a member of that body
could find a better way to settle
the question of universal trans
portation in the National Capital
than by making a show Of him
self in a street car.
We feel quite sure that the aver
age Mississippian does not fancy
the style adopted by the gentle
man from the Fourth Congress
sional District and would much
rather hear of one of their con-
gressmen paying fare for a pas
senger, rather than to hear that a
woman paid his fare and told the
conductor to give him the other
nickel for shave.
Maybe Congressman Sisson was
jealous of the publicity given Dies
of Texas early last week.
Congressman Dies made scene
on a Washington street car, He
could not raise the window, SO he
rammed it with his elbow. Prob
ably that would be called mas
ter move in congressional life, or
it may be that he was laying the
wires for a lest case. Whatever
the object in view, both Dies and
SisSon seem to have an exalted
opinion of themselves and are
drawing very nice salaries for
starting trouble on street cars

cANADA'S COURSE.

At a time when Canada was about to experience the same sort Of humil- iation that had been carried on in New York state. through the influence of money in the cirCumVention of the law a quick and sure method of dis posing of the bOtheTsomc ThaW case was found. Sufficient had been the demon stration that justice was being warped and that the Thaw finances were proving their power in Canada as elseW here. The exhibition was be- coming tedious which the minister of justice and acting minister of the interior realized. Something had to be done to check the disgrace and he promptly eXerted his power. The only criticism to which he might be sub jected Is that he failed to properly notify this countTy's authorities of the turning loose of an escaped inmate of a criminal insane asylum. There was never any question but what Thaw should be returned to this cOun- try. TechnicaIitias were dug up to enabarrass and delay but they never developed a logical reason for barring his return to the state and institu- ton from which he escaped.
 Canada has put an abrupt end to what it was fast becoming ashamed of The responsibility of dealing out justice again falls upon this country. It remains to be seen whether New Hampshire is going to permit the resta ging of the farce which Canada has excluded. Justice and society de mand that he be speedily returned to the state from which hA made his spectacular escape

THE PRoeREssivEs, DUTY.

The situation 8which confrOnts the members of the progressive party in New Haven is much the same as that which the members of that organiza- ton face in other places. There is a disposition on the part of a large num- Der of those who adhere to the party to lend their support to the best inter- eSts of local government and in New Haven the endorsement of the repub lfean lttayer is proposed, in prefer ence te the idea of naming a separate ticket and thereby not only throw away their votes, but aid in the elee= tien of the democratic ticket.
 The question of supporting what is known to be for the best interests of the community ought not to require much deliberation. especially by those who profess to look and aim higher than others. and it is pretty good ad- vice which D. E. Croft of the New Haven prcgressives gives, in urging the support of Mayor Rice, when he says: Let every progressive strip his mind of personal prejudice, Of party feeling. of political emotion, and stand loyally for his city. Every progres- sive principle demands it, every sense of civic justice demands it. every true Ideal or soN0Hiheht uSIldi1S i1' oii" no progressive with red blood in his veins will honestly oppose it."
 It is a question of how much good they can do and not how much harm they can accomplish which should act u9te the progressiVes. and it is through unity of republican factions and not through division that good can be ac- compNshed- IT there is virtue in their position they should be able to leaVen the whole united party.

coNOIyERING THE AIR.

Progress in aviation is gained only by slow, hard, uphill fighting. acci- dents accomplishments and death. Each accomplishment is invariably ac= companied bv aR enormous penalty. No sooner is progress attained iH one direction or another, by one courageous aeronaut than disaster overtakes ala~ other and hopes and ambitions are dashed to pieces. The aeTopIanes have demanded steadily increasing toll through death and yet they are gradually making advancement through experience and study to the much desired achievement of safety of operation and control Since the Wright brothers demonstrated that heavier than air flying machines were possible there has been no lack of endeavor or ambition to aid in bring ing them to a state of perfection, or any scarcity of daredeviIs who have been anxious 10 contribute to the spec tacuIar.
 Heretofore. until the disaster which overlook the Zeppelin of the German navy. the dirtg1ble has been showing progress with far less sacrifice of life Just what caused this disaster remains to be determined, but it points out that while commendable and astonish- ing progress has been made in aero nautics. the danger which exists in navigating the air has not been over come. There remains much to be learn ed and much tO be performed before safety in airshiPs can be guaranteed. Conquering the air is slow and tedious but fascinating problem.

lAPA.NtS DEMANDS

Japan has lost no time in TesBnting the killing of several of her subjects NanknE by the sending of an armed force as a protection to others there and ths issuing of a note to the Chinese government. Whether the note amounts tO an ultimatum or not r7e demands which are made of the new repHbIic are nothing more than " hat might he expecte6 or what China should be anxious tO carry out with out any sUgBestiUn ,0n tre part of the Japauese.
 Tn seeking indeuTrity fur fine 6feafhs, n apOtDgy for the reEre1tabIe affair and the punishment of those who were responsible. there is nothing -exurbitant in JRpEn's demands barring possibly the overlooking of any provocatfon from the -JapHnese. Such a reparation is well within the bounds of reason and oT such a nature that China should hEren tU make it. From -afar it appears like an easy solution of an awkward situation
 The struggle before the new -replFb- lie is sufficient with internal and ex- ternal problems. without flaming intD flame fine i'll feeling between that country and Japan. IT would require but litfIe tn throw the two countries into a hitter struggle. something which China Is in no position tD conduct and a situation which it would be for the interest of both to avoid. It is an occasion for the hringing intO Oper. atiun of sane reasoning powers and the immediate healing of what would require but little to create a severe hreach.

MAYOR eAYNoR's REMOVAL.

After series of interesting events paving the way for the city campaign in New York city. a climax was reach cd by the sudden taking away of Mayor GaynOr, the news of whose death came without anticipation. his condition not having been considered serious, though known to be such that he required rest and a change.
 Mayor Ga8nor's end comes at a critical time in the political situation of rhe greatest city in the country. and it is likely 10 have an important bear ing upon the contest into which he had thrown himself with so much de- termination. How strong a following he had is indicated by the boom which was given his candidacy. even though lL injected a third ca ndidate into the fight for the downfall of Tammany The three cornered contest is now broken, but it is doubtful whether the head of the fusion ticket has the strength to attract to his standard the -Tammany forces. What ought to result and what will are two different things The fusion forces need and should gain the votes which would have gone to Mayor Gaynor and doubtless would with the proper head of the ticket but whether fusion can so fuse that iC will keep the former Tammanv men who stood by Mayor Gayu0r, from drifting back. rests with the flsIunists to prove. UnguestiOn- ably Tammany has reason to feel that with the elimination of their for ner standard bearer, and the dissat- isfaction with the fusion head. that their position looks brighter Fusion certainly has it's hardes1 fight before it. if il is to make any kind of showing

~I told Elsie SC today when Forest Lund walked right by her, though she had on her prettiest tennis costume and had her racket in her hand, and game. I said to her, Elsie, Tm ashamed of you for crying about it'-that is, she didn't really cry. but you knew how girls aE1-'wlaen yea know 1 said that no man in his senses would prefer a big eyergroWn girl like VIo- let with eyes like those of an OK and & com plexieR like 8 vulgar nailk4naid' s, to a delicate well bred girl like your self Forest Lund can't help but see the dffFerencel You go right out there els the end of the porch where he can see yo1aa and finish your embroidery,
 But what do you suppose that Violet Wibberson did When they had finished their game she insisted on Forests going sailing, and took him away for the rest of the morning5 She was afraid ef my Elsie, thats the trou- bIel Will you look at her dancing now Did you ever see anything more ungraceful and gymnastic7
 Yes the young men do seem tO be crazy te dance with her. but that's no sign she's a good dancer. She hasn't anything like the grace that Elsie has. Elsie was taught by the very best teachers and. judging from her actions, Violet just picked up her dancing any how. I think 1t perfectly disgraceful the way she firts with eyeryone-did you see her giving that killing smile over her partners shoulder at that new young man who just came today Why, if Elsie-
 "Oh, you say that he's her brother? We'll. all I've got to say is that any girl who will f1irt with her own brother certainly is crazy to attract attention! That is the fifth time Forest Lund has danced with her, too! l suppose she asks him to because she knows he's the most popular young man up here and she wants to show the other girls what she can do!
 I'm glad Elsie is not dancing much the other girls get so flushed and warm and their hair gets all loose! Elsie looks just as nice at the end of the evening as when she nrsU dressed and that is such mark of a lady!

Asked why l didn't give Elsie a tonic because she looked so white and anaemic! I wouldn't have Elsie's complexion changed for worlds! I think it looks distinguished and ladylike, while all the other girls are so sunburned and brown and frowzy looking! It is queer how the young men seem attracted by that type but of course, it is just a passing fancy When they want to marry they pick out a retiring, ladylike girl like nay Elsie
