Why all this rain? Is the clerk
balancing the books for the late
shortages?. Those Mexicaas
ought 10 DE spanked by Uncle
Sam, but they are not worth
fooling with. .....How many, Oh!
how many of the patriots are
willing to wager 81, 900 that they
may get the primary vote for u.
S. senator. 49,. The Co. s. S. con-
vention is on today Thursday
and until Friday afternoon. 49,.
Selmer seems to be the popular
roosting place recently for the
old stork. Never perhaps has
as much damage to crops been
reported as this season by high
waters. .......... The Presbyterian
church is getting much needed
painting this week. Lawson King
has the contract. The Russians
had quite a naval victory in the
Gulf of Riga over the Germans
attacking feet on the Goth. .,......
1t seems Turkey has out bid the
Allies for Bulgarias Benevolent
neutrality" Cotton has been
declared contraband by England
& Co. Cheap cotton will be the
result. This is good time to
SOW for fa!! enc: and winter winter ttiur1lips...
49,. .Selmer merchants must like
all other merchants in the county
be doing a thriving business from
the advertisements they carry in
the county papers. ........L Lengthy
obituaries by a "friend".on some
child or person of no prominence
and entire strangers to our body
of readers are not worth their
costs to us. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan are running temporarily
their hotel east of the depot. 49,.
Sam Freeman and Mrs. Minnie
Parrish have moved into the Sell
mer hotel property to engage in
transit and boarding patronage.
The Germans sink by SUBJ
marines about a dozen craft every
day, but there are thousands they
do not catch. .. Can a person eat
sauer kraut and not favor the
Germans?.. The Frank lynch
ing will never amount to anything
more than getting his life, ........
Will there be a vacancy in the 9th
Congressional district if Sims fails
in the primary? Wait boys be-
fore you show your willingness
to be patriots. ;. Go away rain
crow, we we de net need your SER
vices further..... ........ Hung by
unknown parties" is the coroners
jury verdict in the Frank case.
Anyone could have told that a
week ago.. All the crops on
bottom lands on Ark. rivers are
an entire loss by the floods ........
Looks like Ga. will be boycotted
when they send orders for goods
anywhere when the firm has a
Jew member, or even other SYM
pathisers. Nv. r. Anderson and
wife will take flying trip to Mobile
before they return to Memphis.
.....Let everybody go to Jackson
next Wednesday to the Farmers
Institute and show we are not
beholding to the old penurious
M. & O. for passes. ......It begins
to look like the absence Of the
almighty dollar will be the peace
dove to end the worlds war. $50.
It is now time for fool farmers to
pull fodder and ruin what was
left of the corn crop after the
wind got through with it.

4 man to be in style this season
must look like a bean-pole with cav
ed-in waistline. If things keep on
going as they are now, there won't be
left anything for the poor men to do
but borrow their wives stays when
they 60 out. To add to their wasp
waist effect a smart overcoat also
traces the figure and flares out below
the waistline like a skirt.
All this news is just the latest from
New York, and will be seen here this
winter.
A mans hat is thing of beauty and
a Joy forever in pearl gray which is
leading the fashion, and to make i;
still more attractive, a checked band
rims it about the top.

RULES THWART THE
DESIRES Of PEOPLE
IN MAKING LAWS

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 20.-The reason
state legislatures fail to enact the will
of the people into law is not to be
found in any fundamental defect ia our
form of state government, according to
Representative L. j. Cooper, Of Ware
county, discussing the subject here
yesterday, but in the rules of proceed
ure under which the Georgia legisla-
ture and other legislatures operate.
There is no freedom of action in
the Georgia legislature" declared Rep
resentative Cooper. "The house elects
a speaker. The speaker appoints the
committees of the house. All bills
when introduced, are referred to COM
mittees. The house does not act on a
bill until it has been reported back to
the house by the committee to which
it was referred. Having been appointed
by the speaker, the committee does not
accord with the prevailing views of the
house on important legislation. When
a committee fails or refuses to report
bill, action is shut off and the house
less powerless to move a Wheel so far
as that bill is concerned. Thus legis-
lation is dominated by the committees.
The remedy lies in co-aplete re-or-
ganization of the rules, both in house
and senate, as the rules of both bodies
are practically the same.
THE spirit of lawlessness started in
committees of the legislature percolate
through the body polite. The men be-

they want them to he, and not as they
are. The spirit of domination by the
few, instead of by the democratic ma
jority reaches beyond the legislature
to the operation and enforcement OF
laws after they have been enacted. n
every little community there is, meta
phorically speaking, a sagaciously or
ganized rules committee.
In other words, the evil practices
