LOOK WHO'S HERE!

One day there was great commo
ton at the Pearly Gates. st. Peter
went to investigate and found George
Washington being ushered in with
great ceremony and reclamation. He
led him to seat at the right hand OF
the Lord.
With similar ceremony Abraham
Lincoln was admitted, some time aft
erwood, and given a seat at the left
hand of the Lord.
One day, a long time afterward, an
unusual commotion occurred at the
heavenly portal. St Peter hurried
thither to ascertain the cause
Roosevelt was entering amid loud ap
plause.
st. Peter received him, looked con
fusedly around for an instant, and
finally said; We'll, Lord, l guess
you'll have to give up your seat"

ALWAYS JOBS-ELSEWHERE

Many people seem to be under the
impression that If there was a sys-
tematized way of getting workers to
the jobs everything would be lovely.
They forget that everywhere there
are men out of work. If every city in
the state has it's unemployed, and
nowhere is there any difficulty in
getting men, then even a thorough
employment system could not accom-
plish everything.
But there's one thing it could do,
and that is to prove that it cannot do
everything, and that some other re-
forms must come looking to the al
deviation of the CAUSE of unemploy-
ment
Some Fresno people think if the
unemployed would only go to Chico
they could get work. UP there they
recommend that the men go to Mo
desto. And so it goes. City people
say, why don't they go to the coun-
try? There's always plenty of work
in the country. At least a man can
get along somehow" And out in the
country they say to the job hunters,
There is no work at this time of the
year Why don't you stay in the city
where there is always something be-
ing done ?"-Fresno Labor News.

Postal Sdvings Banks.

According to the annual report
of the comptroller of the curren.
cy, the postal savings system is
not very popular in Mississippi.
The report shows that the bal
ances in postal savings banks in
this state to the credit of deposi-
tors at the close of the year
amounted to only 1852, 1886. The
total deposits during the year
were $158, 214, and deposits with
drawn during the year $50, 994.
The net deposits at the close of
the year showed only a slight de-
crease over the figure for the
previous year. The logical in
ference drawn from these figures
is that Mississippians have Just
as much confidence in their own
banks as they have in Uncle Sam
and it is no doubt a wise conclu-
sion, since the state banking in
'titutions pay a better rate of in
crest on savings accounts. -

Senator Williams and Prohibition
To the Vicksburg Herald:

To the vicksburg Herald:
In The Herald of this morning,
Jan. 18th, in the report from
Washington when the question of
prohibiting the sale of whiskey in
the District of Columbia was un-
der consideration, Mr.. Williams
is quoted as having said that he
had changed his opinion since he
opposed prohibition in Mississippi,
and challenged senators to show
that whiskey ever had bettered
anyone. Having been citizen of
Yazoo county at that time, and
having taken some part in that
contest, I am reminded of that bit.
ter strife, when men equally hon
est, and equally brave, from all
the walks of life, stood up to op,
pose each other in the great strug.
gle. This declaration of Mr.. Will
liams to stand now with the forces
for right is as manly as was his
opposition honest, thirty years ago. |
Some ten years after the struggle,
one of the leading physicians who
stood with Mr.. Williams, confess
I'd to the writer his error in ex-
the cause of the open sa-
DON; and so dead has the issue be-
'ome in the county of Yazoo, that
10 self-respecting man would dare
o attempt a return to the days of
he saloon with all of it's train of
wills. 1t is said that wise men ;
hange their minds but fools nev-
r, and this is another of the many
vidences of the wisdom of the
eniOr senator from our great old I
commonwealth of Mississippi. Mr..

A Confesf Between an END
ciated" and a Plethorfc
Bank Book

The long and short of John Sharp
Williams opposition for senator
in 1916 seems to be Sissons and
Hebron, but whether these two
gentlemen will observe the social
and political amenities of their
physical prototypes, Alphonse and
CASTOR, we donot know, but tjudg-
ing from current reports we should
guess not. 1t seems that Senator
Hebran's bank account has be-
come more or less emaciated in the
work of the good cause, and now
they think it best to substitute
another in his place as senator
ial contestant. but he says ''nope,"
he's there to stay. We shall
watch with a passing interest the
final result. - Koseiusko Courier.
When Bilbo was bounded and
cuffed about, Hebron stood him
through thick and thin, and no
new convert to the faith should be
permitted to shove him off the
board. In the dark and gloom
days before all these wealthy oil
mills, corporation lawyers and
timber holders formed the Bilbo-
Collins McBeath alignment, the
Issue newspaper, the organ of the
faithful, was in a hard row of
stumps. When all Others had
thrown the paper down, it was
debron who came to the rescue
and with his check book paid the
insistent printer and threatening
type dealer. The troth was then
made, and now, because there is a
after and bigger check book
.vailable, he ought not to be
thrown overheard and told to sift
or himself. Whom the check
'ook has joiued together, let no
nan put asunder. Jones County

German Success Claimed to Have NJ

BRIDGES ARE WASHED AWAY

London, Jan. ia reverse of
the allies along the river Aisne in
the neighborhood of Scissors is ad-
mitted in the latest French official
statement, although the possible eff
feet of the German advance is offic-
tally minimized.
After continuous engagements,
which lasted nearly two days, the
Germans forced the French to yield
in front of Vregny, to the east of
Crouy.
It is explained by the French war
Office that the flooding of the river
Aisne destroyed several of the
bridges and thus rendered precarius
the communications of the troops
operating on the right bank.
These troops were withdrawn, as
it was thought impossible to send
to their support.
The success is a partial one for
our. adversaries, says the French
statement, "but will have no influ-
