cies of manhood for which a dear price
is paid, and sooner or later will develop
a spirit of insubordinotion in the boys
and young men of the country that will
overthrow all ideas of discipline.
The price in the loss of lives and
wounds for life among those who en-
gage in this sport is too great to per-
NIT it to go further. As the News
well says, the state can stop it as far
as her institutions are concerned by
withdrawing all support from the col
leges and schools that permit it, and
the UNCONVENTIONAL institutions can also
be halted by those in authority barring
the game altogether. --Yazoo City Her

You'll waste MONEY

The Yazoo City Herald, in its issue of last week, reproduced
the Senunels editorial of Nov. IS in regard to spending money on
the old Capitol building and other things, with the following en-
dorsement:
Sound logic. brother. There is no sense in asking the legisla-
ture to waste a dollar in attempting to preserve the old building.
There are a thousand things the people need worse, and IS the SEN
tinel says, the taxpayers are overburdened already. Don't waste
into something useful. and give us honest and decent men to adj.
minister the affairs of the state. lncompetents and grafters have
held the reins long enough"

THE BRIBERY

The Bnbo-Hobbs cases. in which the two men are charged in
Warren county with bribery, continues to occupy the center of pub
lie interest in Mississippi. The two men, of course, claim to be in
nocent, but the way they are fighting against a trial does not i'm
ress the disinterested with the idea of their innocence. They saw
now they were setting a trap for Castlemap, but Castleman sprung
his triggers first and hence S n a better attitude before the public.
Another thing, the two indicted men have talked and written
much since their indictment and have done everything they could
TO make their case a political one. If they took the money and
kept it, regardless of what party or faction they claim allegiance to,

they are guilty. They are entitled to a fair trial and the good cii-
zenship of Mississippi is entitled to have the truth and the whole
truth told about the whole affair.

Do you know who pays for the
street paving in Atlanta?. The abut-
ting property owners pay two-thirds
and the street car company pays its
part.
Do you know who pays for street
paving, three or four miles from the
Capitol in Washington. Half of
every dollar comes out of the treas
ury of the United States. Half of
all the expenses of Washington are
paid by the government. The Dis
trict bill passed last week amounts
TO about twelve million dollars and
this is exclusive of the five million
dollar bridge scheme and the two mill
lion dollar park scheme and the two
million dollar Lincoln Memorial.
While this sort OF thing is going on
the government is paying out enor-
nous sums for rented buildings. Graft

Earlier in the evening another band

SAYS NICK KNOWS ALL
.,.......- ABOUT coTILIoNs.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-The
hearing on the wool schedule of the
tariff before the house ways ana
means committee today was eniiVen-
ed by an interchange of compliment
tary remarks between Charles L.
Bennett, of Boston, editor of the Cot
ton and Wool Reporter, and Repre-
sentative Longworth, of Ohio. The
latter insisted on yes or no answer
to his question as to whether putting
raw wool on the free list would re-
duce the price OF that commodity.
Bennett insisted on answering the
question in his own way, and init
mated that Longworth did not have
the proper amount of experience on
the wool question to apprehend the
exclamation which Bennett was try
ing to make.
IF l had as much experience as
you have" said Longworth, ION this
question, I think l would be able to
answer this question, yes or no..
And If I had as much experience
leading cotillions and participating
az YOU have" retorted Bennett, II
think / would be able to answer any
question that you might PROFOUND on
social matters"
Longworth glared at Bennett. but
there were no open hostilities. Ben
nett asserted that IL the committee
got the impression that the wool
manufacturers were not ready and
willing to cooperate with the COM
mittee in framing a satisfactory wool
schedule the committee was mistaken.
He said that free raw wool and a fifty
per cent duty on manufactured prod
ucts would be satisfactory to all the
manufacturers. Latest indications
are that the committee will not put
raw wool on the free list.
