Its little surprising to the Herald
that so far no legislation gotten un
der way to cure the defect in the
law shown by the district attorney S
condition in the coast district. when
e. j. Ford the newly-elected failed
TO qualify or if he qualified immedi-
ateiy rendered his resignation to the
governor, and which vacancy was
then filed by appointment at the
hands of Gov. Brewer just before he
himself went out of office. This
leaves condition tor four years
down there of a district attorney
serving who WAS NOT ELECTED by
the people, while in this district a
race is now on to elect a circuit
Judge to an unexpired term of about
three years length caused by a res
ignation.

Housing Sweet Potatoes Through The
Winter.

Blaksleee's Bulletin, Jackson, Miss.
Approximately one hundred ears
of sweet potatoes are being carei for
in approved houses and will be
placed on the market in the spring.
This is step in the right direction
With the building OF such conven-
fences and properly taking care of
the crop, together with a reasonable
amount Of publicity for popularizing
the product, every potato raised in
the State can be marketed at fair
price to the producer and consumer
as well.

better than the appeal to the sword

This paper is mighty glad to read
in the daily press dispatches that
our Mississippi delegation IN the
national congress have not joined in
the objection being raised to the
confirmation of the great reformer
lawyer, Louis d. Brandes to the APP
pointment by President Wilson to
the supreme bench of the United
States succeeding Justice Lamar re-
Gently deceased. Its true that the
South will lose a man on that great
tribunal if we consider Mr.. Brandeis
from Boston the home of his adop-
tion though he is really a Kentuck-
ian by birth and raising. He can do
the nation so much good by progress
sive constructions of the law and in
that manner contribute to restoring
confidence IN that branch of our ma
tional government that has come to
be regarded as rather fossilized and
obstructionistic than helpful in the
present struggle TO control capital
and judge between the rights of the
people and its rights under corpo-
rate heads.

EDITORIAL

The old game of 'favorite sons, a
relic from the days of the convention
system, manages to creep 10 and find
some lambs for the slaughter in
these special elections where its a
one time runoff and no party prima-
ry called at all. Such deceived ones
wake up after the battle of battles
is over to find themselves cast INTO
the political scrap-heap. This judi
cial race now on is going to furnish
a specimen or so OF this kind, mark
our prediction

Surely this comes under the head
of emergency" legislation brought
to the attention of the lawmakers by
the peculiar circums tances surround
ing the interested parties in the
coast district and should be remedi-
ed by an amendment to the law gov
erning electing district attorneys,
with proviso requiring their cleo
tion to short terms same as long
terms. Of course we would not be
in favor OF springing anything sud
den on the legislature while in SEES
sion which had not due agitation be-
fore hand unless 1t were truly in the
emergency" class. and this unques-
tionably is, and emergency mat
tiers are always proper to be reckon
ed with by lawmdking body in
session, as much so is the usual run
of programmed legislative proposi-
tlonS.

The declared intention of the Bilbo
administration to advocate and rem
der constructive Legislation is well
taken, and they will no doubt have
the hearty cooperation of all factions
in those measures seeking to pro-

Telephones Overcome Isolation On Farms

Hone and Farm, Louisville. Ky.
One of the objections TO country
life in the past has been It's isolation.
Bad roads, bad postal service and no
means of communication, all worked
for isolation and loneliness on the
farm. The telephone has. broken
down the isolation. 1t has brought
the farmer into direct contact with
The ply slcion, with the business tnan
or country merchant, with the bank
er, with friends; SO that social re-
latIons have been established
through the whole community. 1t is
difficult to measure the value of this
service. There should be tele-
phone in every farmers house, con
Meeting him with his neighbors and
With his nearby business associates.
IN case of sickness. the physician
can be summoned Immediately, and
"a many cases life depends upon this
early attention. The extension of
these telephone lines adds to the
value of every househould connection.

CINDERELLA

On Wednesday. Oct 4th, at the
ldlehour, Mary Pickford will appear
as Cinderella, a name dear to many
generations Of children. In the recent
revival of story telling this old tale
has had very prominent place. It's
interest never fags: repetition does
not spoil it. Every child listens in
raptures TO the details. of the good
fairy's treatment of the neglected
orphan. The belief that there must
be kindly fairies to take care of for
saken children, becomes unshakable
To see Cinderella, as portrayed by
Mary Pickford, will add impressive
ness to every point. 1t will be a thing
of beauty and JOY forever. Parents
should make an effort, not simply to
send their children, but take them TO
this play. By so doing they will pro-
vide themselves with opportunities
and materials to teach and illustrate
many a lesson of kindness.

FRESH WIN RUSH
First Year Men Tear Down Sophs'
Flag i'm Five Minutes.

In the annual class rush held yes
terday morning at 600, the class of
verdants of Alma college, ripped down
the flag of the sophomores in less
than five minutes of exciting rioting.
The first year men outnumbered
the sophs nearly two to one, and all
efforts of the second year men to pull
down the ratio failed 10 make it near
enough, so that they were able to
withstand the rush of the youngsters.
On Monday night couple of the
freshies, including the president Of
the class, were spirited away, and un-
til after the rush, these men, both of
them big fellows, could not be found.
The freshies tried every known meth
od in finding out where they We're, but
without success. On Tuesday more
treshies were spirited away, these be-
ing taken somewhere near Wheeler
and secured, as the second year men
thought, until after the rush. These
men broke loose in some way, and got
back just in time to take part in the
rush, and the efforts Of these men,
eight in number, is said to have
turned defeat into victory for the
freshies.

HIGH SCHOOL WAS
DEFEATED IN OPENER
st. Louis High NOsed Out the
Local Team i'm Closing Mo-
ments of the Game.

In the opening game Of the season.
played last week Friday at St Louis,
the Alma high school football team
lost out in the last moments OF the
game, St Louis coping the struggle
by score of l6 to l3.
The game in many ways was joke,
being marred by rag chewing and in
competent officiating. 1t seemed evi-
dent that the officials meant 10 be fair
and square, and their lack of foot
ball knowledge in the assessment Of
penalties hit both teams.
The local team, containing several
now men, did not come up to eXpecta-
tions in the first game. the line being
like a piece of paper, during the en-
tire game, and ST. Louis smashed
through the Alma forward defense
time and again for long gains. The
defensive work of the Alma backfield
was all that kept the score lower than
1t was. With good defensive work in
the line, there is no question, but
that the Alma lads would have walk
ed off with the struggle.
Coach Kimball's men really seemed
lost until after st. Louis scored her
first touchdown. which came in the
second quarter The local lads woke
up then and played a far better game
than at the start and played ST. Louis
about even during the balance of the
game. St Louis scored her first
points when Fulcher shared an Alma
tumble, down near the ST Louis
goal, and carried the ball eighty
yards, being nailed on the Alma five
yard line The locals fought hard at
this stage. but on the fourth down
st. Louis managed to get the ball over
and kicked the goal After the next
kickoff Alma rushed the ball down the
field and straight over the goal, and
the goal kick tied the score. Camp
hell scored all seven points. A fea
ture play, forward pass, Kress to
Richards, for thirty yards was the
making of this touchdown.
Alma took the lead in the third
quarter, when the ball was again tax
en- straight down the field, on SER
les of line smashes. Walker went
over for the touchdown. The try att
goal failed.
In the fourth quarter St Louis
again scored, quarterback Andrews
making the counter The try at goal
failed, and the teams were tied St
Louis received and rushed the ball
down the field, and from the twenty
yard line, and the line for play grow
ing short, Andrews tried dropkick
which sailed neatly over the bar. St.
Louis kicked to Alma, and using
Howe, play after play, Alma tore off
yards at a time, until the thirty yard
mark was reached, where with only
a half minute to play. Campbell tried
a dropkick in an effort to tie the score,
but the kick was blocked on the Alma
captain.
Campbell, Kress and Howe were
easily the Alma stars The local ag-
gregation does not seem to be discour-
aged and under coach Kimballs work,
they are expecting to run into shape
rapidly now, and hope to batter the
Ithaca high team to pieces tomorrow
here. The work of the lads showed
some clever coaching by Kimball,
whom the high school lads are ready
10 almost swear nv
