PAUL II, GREENLAW.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1915-07-30

Hattisesburg Taibune.
There is no reason IN the world
WHY any other than good men should
be elected to office. There are al
ways good men running, and good
men are always needed in every office
from the lowest to the highest.
And it IS also true that OF those
VINO offer for election there are al
ways some who are we'll qualified.
Just because a man is a good man is
of itself not the sole reason why he
should be elected. He should of
course, be man of the right kird
of character, but at the same time
he should have sufficient ability to
make an efficient public servant.
He should be able to fill the office,
not simply hold the office and draw
his pay. High and honorable SER
vice should ue the aim.

Choctaw Plaindealer
While this is an age Of commercial
ism and while the world is going
crazy over money making, the people
should not lose sight of the fact that
the greatest need of the century is
men who think and act tor themsel-
YES men who cannot be lead arolnd,
men who are not for sale. The most
pltiable object on God S earth is to
see a good thing in human form with
hair on it's face, being led around by
the nose like blind bear. Yet, we
see them every day.

The keynote TO the question of
running county and state fairs is bit
by II. E. Blakeslee, commissioner of
agriculture in recent letter to the
press in which he states that stress
should be LAID upon Agriculture
rather than horse races and amuse-
ments. He cites figures to show
that in many cases the. amount spent
on horse races etc. about trebles the
amount allowed for prizes in agricul-
turaI and live stock exhibits. The
Herald directed attention to the fact
that fairs had their evils as well as
benefcient influences several years
ago when the question of establish
ing a fair IN Greene County was be-
ing bruited The weli-known ten
dencY of the multitudes to turn any
enterprise of into undue stress upon
the pIeasurable side should be rec
ognized by al eaders of such under
taKings in advance and headed of by
a well balanced program" as
Blakesless now contends for and as
serts he has contepded for for sever
al years. This does not mean as he
shows that the amusement features
should be entirely eliminated but
that they should be kept within due
bounds and not disproportionate to
the main objects which call such in
stitutions into existence. So we
heartily second bis timely sugges-
tions only we would go him several
pegs further in the extent OF such
curtailing OF those amusement fea-
lures which tend to produce gam
bling or other forms of dissipation.

be revised downward Talk about ex-
horbitant fees, YOU have them to the
limit in this Office whose fees permit

Advocates The Back To Farm" Doctr inc

Starksville News.
If we want the right kind of last
ing prosperity in this country we
must get lot of people away from
the centers of population and onto
the farms, where opportunity awaits
them. This business of rushing off
to the great cities and depopulat-
ling the farms dong more to retard
prosperity than all other causes com
bined. Any man Of common sense
and a reasonable degree of energy
can makea mighty fine living on
the farm and be reaso nablv indie
pendent while so doing while fully
one half of the population today is
underfed because thew are stagna-
ting in cities where there are ten
applicants for every job Strikes
lookouts and other labor wars do
not greatly affect the man on the
farm. for crops grow on just the
same and appetltes do not decrease.
The real greatness of this country
will come when the land is more full
ly under cultivation and worked to
better advantage on scientific lines.

This paper is not tremendously
interested in the present gubernato,
rial race. The editor has long-slnce
expressed himself edItorially as to
which one of the candidates he will
cast his personal ballot but that's a.
bout as far as our interest reaches in
the matter, as we fail to see the i'm
portance represented by the several
contending candidates wrapped up in
either of their personalities for the
good of Mississippl's state govern
ment. If you wish an opinion as to
now we think they will run, We give
it judged bv the race of last time
and having watched the course of
campaign this time and observed
from the press how the lines have
held and new lines been strung. We
think Bilbo will lead the ticket by
Some plurality in Greene county and
the state over with possibilities OF a
landslide as four years ago, with
Reilly next and he and Tally not far
apart and Quin and Stovall trailing
considerably behind the first three
named with the last named in all
Probability failing the ticket, and
that there will be about 140, 900
votes cast in the state and nearly

About the only kind Of ADVICE that
the Herald would hazard offering Oh
the primary election next Tuesday
August Bird, is that every qualified
voter go to the polls early and vote
promptly and not allow any one
to dictate to YOU or cajole you round
over how you cast YOUR ballot
That is your own privilege and no
man has right to tamper with it
and no matter now deep you are in
gratitude to any man above that
first duty and is gratitude due your
country to vote pure loyal ticket
for good honest government
Please your conscience whether you
please all men or not and all will b.
vel with you after the storm and ex-
OF the hour is over and
things settle back to normal.

to visit, when as it is the name of
bleeding has gone out and We saw
numbers of people before going up

we must say we were astonished at

Of their own land closer than posi-
