people. whether they be native or for
eign, it does not make any difference
which, when you go there to plead for
certain political measures or against
certain political measures. what hope
have you, in Gods name? II people
like that are to cOntrol>a government
or constitute the balance wheel, even
in certain great centers, as they do,
what hope have you for an intelligent
solution of any great public problem!
Fit and Willing.
when this question presents itself
to any mind it does not present itself
to my mind as question for the bene-
fit of Asiatic or European or Africans.
1t presents itself to my mind as
question of benefit and self-preserva-
ton to the American republic and to
American free institutions. When a
foreigner comes to these shores want
two things of him, if / can get them.
One is to know that he is fit to become
an American, the other to know that
he is willing to become an American;
that when he takes the oath Of natu-
ralization he takes it without mental
reservation; that down in the bottom
of his heart he reserves no allegiance
to prince, pope, power or potentate,
to kaiser, car or king, and that his
action as an American citizen shall
not be controlled or modified by the
Interests of the place of his deriva-
ton. 1. ask these two things, that he
shall be fit and that he shall be will
ing.
Are you going to bring in the unfit,
the unprepared, the unframed, the un-
taught, put them upon grounds Of alb
solute equality and make them CO.
heirs with the children of your own
loins, and to drag them down intellec-
tually and politically? That you shall
bring them in and make them co-heirs
with the children Of your loins is all
fright, provided that they are fit, pro-
vided they are really equal when SO
acknowledged, provided they are COM
petent to help carry out this great
american, republican-democratic world
mission, a mission Of holding up q
light to the whole world, the light Of
liberty and fraternity and equality
founded upon intelligence as the IA
Their Of Democracy said, because it is
the only safe foundation upon which
free institutions can rest / do moi
care how perfect the moral character
of man may be, if he is absolutely
untaught, uniformed and unframed
intellectually he cannot be thoroughly
land intelligently sympathetic with free
institutions; neither can he be thor
oughly competent to constitute a par
of the governing power amidst fret
institutions"

Mrs. Margaret Kinkead Thompson.

The Commercial Appeal Of last Sun
day had a photo of Mrs. Thompson,
one Of the most talented ladies Of
our county. We would suggest, how
ever, that Mrs. Thompson had good
cause for a damage suit against the
Commercial-Appeal, as the picture did
not begin to do justice to her charming
personality. But it makes up somewhat
for that deficiency in the following
complimentary notice:
For popularizing cotton in the most
original fashion, perhaps, Mrs. Mar
garet Kinkead Thompson, of Yazoo
City, Miss, candidate for state librar-
ian, deserves first mention, she having
originated in Mississippi the idea on
the cotton hat, made entirely Of the
raw material. Especially in this day
of staggering millinery bills and the
desire to consume all the cotton posi-
BILE is the cotton hat looked upon with
favor.
Mrs. Thompson made her first ap
pearance with her cotton hat in tn,
great cotton pageant at the openinl
of the Mississippi State Fair. From
the sole Of her canvas slippers to TIL
crown Of her well poised head she wa
stylishly and beconingly attired ii
cotton, and the hat, nifty and nobb.
it is novel, and very becoming h
the wearer, whose auburn hair waves
around the soft rolling brim, attract
ed much attention and general admi
ration.

Searle contended that such record in

away from the people and was serving
the invisible government"
Mr.. Sherman has always served
those who control the invisible govern
ment." said he. His record at Spring
field shows this to be true. Mr.. Sher-
man supported the Allen bill, the gas
consolidation and gas frontage acts.
The press at that time denounced these
bills and the men who worked for them
in the strongest terms.

A REASONABLE ATTITUDE.

There will be general sympathy with
the attitude Of Provisional President
Carbajal, of Mexico, in his effort to Sc
cure some assurance from the Con.
stitutionalists that the lives and prop
erty of federals will be respected when
the Constitutionalists enter the capt.
tai.
There were some instances during
our own civil wal in which uncondi-
tional surrender was exacted, notably
In the surrender of Fort Donelson to
Grant, whose famous dispatch to
6uckner is still often quoted. But the
conditions in Mexico are not the con-
ditions Of our own civil war time.
There the forces on both sides were
composed of men who respected the
rules OF civilization In their fighting,
md the footing Of cities and the
daughter Of their inhabitants were
not to be thought Of. In Mexico, un-
fortunately, these things have been
common. And 1t is quite natural for
Carbajal to feel that If he cannot have
come assurance that some measure Of
order will Be observed, he might as
veil finish fighting as any other way.
