SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
HE HAS MADE GOOD.

Since the president came oui
strongly for preparedness, the breach
between Bryan and his former CHIEF
has been considerably widened.
Democrats of the country will prob
ably be called upon to decide whether
they will follow the leadership of the
former secretary of state or that of
the man in the white house. As an
indication of the sentiment of the
solid SOUTH" the following editorial
from the Columbus (Miss.) Dispatch
is interesting:
Certain Mississippi newspapers are
seeing things and one of their remark
able visualized hallucinations is that
there is deep laid conspiracy in
Mississippi to switch its delegation to
the next national convention from
Wilson to Bryan. The Dispatch has
been about as faithful a follower Of
the Commoner as any public journal
in the State and like most of his fol-
lowers we parted company with him
when he deserted the ship of State
in its most trying extremity. The
presidents policy of preparedness is
meeting with some opposition in this
State, but this has occurred in nearly
every State in Tie Union, for it is a |
great question about which clusters a |
large diversity of opinion. Mississip-
plans realize that the President has
made good in handling the most com
plex and complicated problems which
have confronted the people since Lin
coins time and they will endorse him
almost unanimously. He has had four
years of war; he deserves four years
Of peace"

Two favorites of fashion for this

corduroy velvet ofswhich it is made,
and the opossum fur on the collar.
Corduroy in good quality is about
the best choice one can make among
materials designed for coats for gen.
eral wear, and the high favor Of
opossum fur threatens to thin the
ranks of the little animal, whose fine
markings have lately sprung into un-
precedented favor.

CRANKS AND SELF-STARTERS

"Platonic friendship" is the story
woman puts up. to man before, and
the world afterwards.
The love of a man for woman is
perfectly natural phenomenon-to
everyone but the other woman.
What lovely world it would be il
one could recover the money and the
love and the time one has misspent.
The woman who knows Just when
and how to make scene is not nearly
SO clever as the woman who knows
Just when and how not to make
scene.
One of the many difficulties in the
arrangements of a society woman's
program is to be found in by the right
people and not found out by the
others.
We all have different ideas of at.
tainment-the unworldly may want to
help others, the worldly to help them.
selves. And neither wants to be
found out.
It is absurd to talk of dead
past There is no such thing. The
past never dies-only it looks so diff
ferent from distance that it is hard
to recognize it.
Women are good or bad according
to their opportunities-tha is why |
women with red hair and green eyes
are looked upon with suspicion by the |
women who never had chance"
1t is a splendid plan to make man
run after you, but remember that he
won't go on running indefinitely mere |
ly out of curiosity or hope. The time
will come when he'll sit down to rest
with someone else.
By some curious dispensation of
If woman with big feet

has to walk all the way while the !,
one with small feet probably finishes
up in an automobile de luxe.

A press dispatch from Aberdeen,
Miss that was printed by the Express
and other papers a few days ago said
John Taylor negro, had been
lynched for making remarks about
prevailing styles of dress worn by
white women From fuller accounts
appearing later we learn that the
cause Of the lynching was not what
was alleged blythe imaginative CORE
spondent. Taylor was lynched because
he shot at, but failed to hit a party
of officers who we're arresting another
negro on the charge of assault and
battery with intent to kill. The cause
was trivial enough in comparison with
the penalty that was exaeted, without
the correspondent making 1t any
smaller Because of the frequency of
such crimes in the black belt,' there
is disposition on the part of the
press to magnify them, to the dispar-
agement of the south. 1t should be
noted that the sentiment Of the best
people of the south, as recently voiced
by the heads of seven or eight Texas
colleges, is against mob violence.
Great newspapers like the Dallas
News and the Atlanta Constitution are
in their condemnation of
the mob spirit, which, given the
requisite provocation, will break out
IN any part of the country.

JUDIclALLY DECIDED

The best point in the average argu-
ment is the period
Sin doesn't find some people out un-
til they are all in.
The thinking cap seems to be too
small for some heads.
The man of winning ways uncovers
many ways of winning.
Old styles come in fashion again,
but back numbers never do.
In the school of experience most of
the ounces are night pupils.
Most of the unsuccessful men meet
failure more than half way. ha
Some people don't think honesty
pays unless it pays them first.
The less some people have to say
the more they let you know it.
The society woman can always find
her sweet smile where she put it.
The optimist doesn't have to die but
once. but the pessimist is buried alive
every day.

the more we want to stay and see II
