The Crusade Against Poor Spelling Con
tinues.
Yazoo Sentinel.

Yazoo Sentinel.
The familiar old "Blue-back Spell
er" is seen no more in the public
schools. The study of spelling has
had its ups and downs of popular fa-
vor. Once it seemed to be felt that
children would absorb spelling with
the air of the school house. Just
now there is some revival of interest
in good photography. All kinds of
educational shortcuts are continual
Y being tried with the feeling that
somehow time can be sav d ,
the clock can be cheated. and one
or two extra branches of study can
be crammed down the juvenile throat.
1t is a pretty good general principle
that an important thing cannot be
taken up incidentally. The human
mind will not follow two main lines
of attention at one time and do both
of them Systematically.

A CoWardIy Kind of Request.

Bryan TEX J Eagle.
There are a great many people
who want the newspapers to do their
roasting. In other words, they
think newspapers are in the roasting
business. If they get a grievance,
instead of going to the source of
their troubles and there registering
their kick and taking what follows,
they think they have a perfect right
to cal on the newspaper to do the
kicking and take their cussing. The
next time you feel like calling on
the newspaper to kick for you, re-
member the paper has troubles of
its own. and do it yourself.

Favors Closer Espionage Of All Banks

Clarksdale Register.
If the Federal Government looks
after the affairs of national banks. it
might not be bad idea to pass law
permitting the government to look
into the affairs of all private banks.
1t is we'll known fact that a num-
Der of the business transactions OF
these institutions would bear watch
ing and usually the rate of interest
IS entirely too high. When banks
declare dividends of from 40 to 60
per cent there is something wrong
and it indicates that the man who
borrows is paying the fiddler. 1t is
well too for any state to have regu-
lar authorized bank examiner any
how. The planters N The south have
many difficulties to confront, but the
money question is paramount above
anything else If they would study
the situation and plan more carefully
for themselves, they would soon be
more powerful financially than all
the banks in the country.

Brookhaven Leader.
There are some few people among
us, and thoughtful people. too, who
who thought that when we had the
good roads we could rest securely
ride delightfully."- and reflect serenely
on our achievement. But aIasl Ii
is just one-t thing after another
Now we ind that we have to protect
ourself against abuses of these same
roads by the travelling public. If the
people pay for thing it belongs to
them and the roads are paid for. OF
course the season has been unfavor-
able; but the enormously loaded lum-
ber wagons are enough to ruin the
roads in good weather. We have q
law limiting the weight of loads,
which may be hauled to five thousand
pounds. This law was made before
the Good Roads were inaugurated
but remains in effect. This law is
more honored now in the breach than
in the observance. In justice to all
concerned the road regulation should
be applied. A prominent county
man remarked the other day Looks
like you all re trying to keep US out
o town. The roads are much worse
in the suburbs than at greater dis
tance.

The Mexican affairs of the past few
days read like a page out of medaevi-
al history. The Maderos who over
throw iron-handed Diaz in the revo-
luton of 1910 have been themselves
overthrown by later revolution
with nephew Diaz at It's head, and it
results in three of the Maderos being
put to death under first one pretence
and another. Madero spared the ell
der Diaz and spared the younger one
a few weeks ago when captured at
the Vera Cruz rebellion, but was not
himself SO fortunate. The whole af-
fair reminds US much also of some
French history. Fighting IN the
heart of populous city with modern
machine guns without but little re-
gard for the life of non com batants
and then the execution under one
plan or the other of prominent de-
posed officials, reminds of some. of
the blood-mad acts of the Parisians,
and Madam Roland's exclamation
when herself grabbed by the soldiery
to feed the guillotine insatiable's ak:
Liberty how many crimes are COM
mitted IN thy name. 1t appears
to us as wars of personalities rather
than principles. The patriotic lead
er of today is regarded tomorrow as
the despot whose blood stands like
Caesars in the way of national liber-
ty. Surely those Latin Americans
must learn after while that its better
to bear political grievances for sea-
son, rather than turn butchers. Up
on no other policy can they ever
hope to enjoy real democracy. Pa
thence and tolerance are political
virtues that can not be always gain
saved. Poor unhappy Mexicol

Deferred HOnOrs Being Paid.

N. O. Advocate.
In a recent address delivered in
Congress, ex-Speaker Joseph G.. Can
non of Illinois, said: There are cer-
tain great characters who will live
IN the history of the country. First,
and barely first. Washington; second
Lincoln; third, Lee. a great man, a
great general, who did his duty from
his patriotic stanpoint; fourth, Jeffer-
son Davis, a great man. performing
great service for the Republic as
he saw his duty.
Emanating from such a source,
this utLerance indicates that the
time is surely coming when the
North will be able to do justice to
the lllustriOus Chieftain of the Con-
federacY. Certainly vast progress
has been made in this direction since
the brilliant L. @. c.. Lamar stood
in the Senate chamber and with
matchIess eloQuence repelled the ma
tlignant attacks of Senator Hoar,
Senator Sherman. and others upon
Mr.. Davis. The truth IS, the man
of high character who stands for
principle, however much he may suf-
fer from prejudice and misrepresenta-
tion for time, need not fear the f.
nal verdict of posterity.
| In spite ef sectional animosity and
calumny. Jefferson Davis is destined
to have an honored and secure place
| in the brightest galaxlty of Ameri-
can patriots and statesmen. He was
tested in both prosperity and adver-
sity, and never found wanting. He
was ever inspired by the noblest of
motives, and for no action or utter
ance of bis need apology be made.
He was more religious man than
either Washington or Lincoln, and it
lis doubtful whether either of them
could have met any more successfully
the difficulties with which he had to
grapple. Such personality and
career are an honor to all mankind; !;
they belong. not to single section,
but to the world; and sooner or later
the world Will recognize and claim
them.

Worm-Food Should Be Cleared Away.

Moss Point Advertiser.
Said a preacher on one occasion
when delivering a funeral sermon,
The late respected corpse was a
member of this church for forty
years. Perhaps the presence of so
many corpses in some churches ac-
counts for their dead condition. But
the same may be said of may be said
of many communities. They are
dead because their population is
made up largely of corpses, respect
ed or otherwise; that is to say people
that are dead to anything that would
promote the interest of the place.
No matter how promising and well
devised project made be, or how
much it maycommend itself to others,
these men block these men block the
way because they are dead and
not only dead but mummifed. When
a community is not burdened with
many of this class, it may grow and
flourish in spite of their existence,
but when there are many they COM
municate their deadness to the whole
place.

Ere the Herald shall be issued
again Woodrow Wilson will have
been ushered into the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States of Amer
lea, and this paper, which was an
ardent Wilson supporter predicts
that he will give the A american people
an administration in keeping with
the trend and demands of the times.
His way of handling the affairs of
government IN New Jersey has prov
ed his singular skill and that he looks
out for progressive policies with an
untiring will. We hope that the
gadf1y politicians will not torment
him into peevishness nor that the
sycophants will be successful in their
efforts to victimize him. He will
make some mistakes but we are san
guine that they will be comparative
ly few and small IN Importance and
that on the whole he will give the
country that chance which it so
much needs to bring the government
back close to the people and to con-
trive such laws and adopt such poll
cles as will make for the permanency
of such adjustment.
