In the recent election for May
or of Chicago, Carter Harrison,
who has been mayor OF Chicago
for many years, and who was
running for the democratic noml-
nation again, was defeated by a
man named Sweitzer. Harrison
represented the idea of highly
moral administration of the city's
affairs, while Sweitzer was the
candidate of those in favor Of
running the town wide open.
For the first time the women OF
Chicago were permitted to vote in
a primary, Sweitzer receiving
81, 666 female votes, while Harri-
son received Sc, 207 female votes.
A majority of the women of
Chicago must be of German orr
gin and were evidently caught
by the familiarity of the name OF
the successful candidate.

The first victim of the speed
fiend in Memphis was an unfor-
tunate young lady who was
struck by ajitney run by a young
chauffer who was exceeding the
speed limit. The young woman
held a position with the 0. K.
Houck Piano Co., and had just
left her work when the unfortu-
nate accident occurred. The driv-
er of the jitney was lodged in
jail under a charge of manslauph-
ter. The craze to pass the
other fellow" seems to have
seized our young people and life
and limb is not spared in the eff
fort to reach the front place.
We should slow down and take
into consideration the danger in
running on high gear.

After half a century of wait
ing, claimants of Southern war
claims are to be paid the amounts
established before the Court Of
Claims for property Wronefully
taken during and subsequent to
the war. Many Mississippians
lost property by the wrongful
confscation of the Federal gov
eminent during the war and sub
sequent thereto, but only a few
have been able.or will be able to
establish their rights. The real
owners of this confiscated proper
ty in most instances are dead,
but the title can be established
through the Court of Claims by
the heirs. The Supreme Court,
several years ago, passed upon
the validity Of these claims and
decided that it was the duty of
the government to pay them.
In most instances it is a very
difficult matter to establish one
of these claims on account of the
fact that most of the witnesses
to the transaction have long since
passed away. Agents entrusted
with the duty of confiscating cot
ton, in many cases failed to re-
port to the government the de-
scription and number of bales,
and those who lost by this means
have no way whatever of estab-
fishing their claims. Tardy JUS
tice is being done and those who
establish their claims in most
instances, will find the amounts
received a relief in time of dis
treSs.

mencing September 3 and including the

Sir John French expresses regrets at
the heavy casualties, but SAYS that in
view of the strength OF the German po-
sitions, the stubborn defense Of the en-
envy and the powerful artillery by which
he was supported, the British losses
were not excessive. The proportion OF

Heavily Re-enforced.
The army has received strong re-en-
