NOT A PARTY GAIN
Republican Victory in Chicago
Explained.
City Never Has Been Democratic, as
the Term ls Observation-Disclosures
Of other Elections Make
This Fact Plain.

We must advise Republicans not to
be misled by the false political pre-
lenses in respect to the Chicago cleo.
ton. If 1t were true that Chicago Is
Democratic city, the fact that 1t has
elected Republican mayor by a big
plurality might be significant, but Chi
cago is not. and, since the organiza'
ton of the Republican party, never
has been, strictly speaking. Demo-
cratic city.
Three times during the last fifty
years Chicago has given pluralities to
Democratic presidential candidates,
Tilden carried 1t in 1876 by a narrow
margin, as did Cleveland in 1888. The
only time Chicago ever gave Demo
cratic presidential candidate an em-
phatic majority was in 1892, when
Cleveland had a lead of $4,000 and
carried the state. At the election OF
1912 Roosevelt and Taft combined
had $4,000, against Wilson's 100000.
In 1896 the Republican plurality was
$4,000; in 1900, 1000; in 1904, 10000;
in 1908, $4,000.
Error as to Chicago's political status
arises from the fact that locally 1t has
been governed most of the time for SO
years by Harrison party operating
under the Democratic name but hav'
ing no other connection with the ma
tional organization. This party has
been made up of Democrats, Repub'
licans and Socialists, who have CO
operated in favor of loosely admin.
istered city government. Nobody but
a Harrison has been able to make
such a combination under so-called
Democratic auspices. When, as was
the case this year, Harrison lost the
Democratic nomination, his personal
party had no further interest in De-
mocracy. and most of its members
evidently voted the Republican ticket.
Comparing the straight Democratic
vote, 1926 (not counting women),
with Wilson's vote of 10000 in 1912
and Bryan's vote of $4,000 in 1908. 1t
will be seen that nothing has collapsed
in Chicago except Harrisonism.

May Recall Order On Mineral Leases

Recall of the orders segregating for
mineral lease purposes fourteen quar-.
ter sections of school land in the Deep
Fork Drainage District in Lincoln
county, will be recommended by r. L.
Lunsford, oil and gas expert of the
state school land department, at the
next meeting of the commissioners of
the land office.
The land in question has been asses.
sed for drainage purposes, but accord.
ing to its present situation the tax
can not be paid. The agricultural
lessee Of the land can not be required
to pay 1t for he doesn't own the land,
and the state can not pay it because
there are no funds available out of
which the assessment could be paid.
The plan of the department is to lift
the segregation order so that the land
can be sold and the purchaser, who
viii get the benefit of the drainage dis.
trict, can pay the drainage assessment.

ProbIem Before Republlcana.

Tie problem for the Republican ma.
tional convention to solve fourteen
months hence will be to find candi-
date who can command the support
of Mr.. Roosevelt and his Progressives,
as well as of the regulars and back
ward-lookers. 1t does not at this time
seem at all likely that Colonel Roose-
welt could be induced to support a re-
dictionary unless his anger against the
Democrats should be so fierce that he
would sacrifice everything in his de-
sire to defeat that party. And 1t is
doubtful If he could do that.

One of the greatest artillery duels OF
the war is being fought from the sea
to south of Ypres in Belgium. Even

of the shells thrown by them, rock
the country like an earthquake

The British now hold a new line of
trenches north and northeast of Ypres.
The Canadians, worn out by days and
nights of unceasing struggle, have
been relieved and retired to the rear

Details Of the operations OF the Al

that the British forces are holding the
European and the French the Asiatic

the fighting has been confined to Skin

The Russian occupation of Loubina

Death of Mrs. Bafus Deale.

Mrs. Margaret Deale died at her
country home in Noxubee county early
this morning. She was born Miss
Margaret Skinner, in Lowndes county,
in l841, and in 1877 was married to Mr..
Balus Deale, who died many years
ago. Mr.. Deale was one Of the most
prominent of the prairie planters of
East Mississippi and West Alabama.
Their handsome country home was long
the centre of charming social circle
comprised of the county families of
Noxubee and the adjoining Pickens
county, Alabama, where were preserv-
ed the social features, customs and
manners that characterized ante -bellum
days in this section.
Mrs. Deale was cultured woman,
and devout member of the Methodist
church. She leaves no children. Her
remains were inferred today in the old
family burying ground at Fox Trap,
near Macon.

Death of Mrs. Buck.

Many heart felt keen distress when
it was learned Wednesday of this week
that Mrs. Jesse Bucks long, useful
and gentle life had come to close.
She had severe fall day or two pre-
vious and the shock was more than her
age and enfeebled health could with
stand. Her remains were inferred H..
Odd Fellows cemetery Thursday in the
presence of great number of friends
and former pupils.
Mrs. Buck was born Miss Annie E.
Bowers in Macon, Georgia, in lS41.
When she was nine years of age hei
f~miiv moved to Providence, Rhode
Island. where she was educated and be-
came a teacher in the public schools.
In 1856 she was member of the facul-
ty of the High School of Providence
when she met and married Rev. Jesse
H. Buck, then pastor of the Mashula-
vile Baptist church. She and Mr..
Buck made their home in Macon. In
1865 Rev. Granville Martin. pastor of
the Macon Baptist church, and minis
ter or rare power and eloquence, died
leaving widow and seven children.
1t was with the generous motive of as
ssting in the education of these chill
dren of devoted friend and pastor
that Mrs. Buck again took up teaching.
So successful was her school that on
the insistence of great many people,
she and Mr.. Buck established the Ma
con Female Seminary, which for twen-
ty-five years was one of the leading ed
ucational institutions of Mississippi.
He had charge of the departments en-
bracing the science and languages, ex-
cept English, while she was discipline
rian and had charge of the primary and
English departments. Her pupils and
their descendants still rise up to call
her blessed. Besides having rare talent
as teacher, she had the greater facul-
ty of impressing on her pupils christian
teaching and character; they came from
under her teaching with something
more than book learning. In Mrs.
Buck 8 death there passes away one
who made lasting impression on our
county, and whose influence for good
will long be felt.
