In some way or other times are a
little bit flusher on money than was
the case even before the storm. This
may be but temporary and it may
get tighter when cold weather sets
in, but its surely true now that there
is more cash floating round than one
would think after such devastation
as followed the storm. Some logging
operations on down-timber as well
as the cross-tie business likely ac-
counts IN part for this. Let us hope
that it will continue and get better
and may be it will when the presi-
Dental election shall have been set
tied in November. Off out in the
great commercial world where storm
conditions did not affect 1t can be
noticed IN general way that the
business tone is stronger, and why
not some of this returning prosper
lty filter through to good old Greene
County which has had such siege
of the lean years?

EDITORIAL


Guess those of Vardaman' s indy
ing enemies in Mississippi who were
so quick to pop off criticisms against
HIM along the line of not being called
upon to deliver speeches in doubtful
state in behalf of the democratic
party are feeling little embarras-
sed now since the national democrat
ic committee has sent the Senator
urgent kilograms to which he has
responded to go into Missouri and
help out by his speeches. Varda-
man is no fool though he has differed
sharply at times with the admins
tration, but he has worth as speak
err of old time simon-pure democracy
which is thus being recognized by
putting him in field like Missouri,
a border state, where the negro
problem is understood and his views
will have that due weight to which
entitled.

The Herald believes that the dem
ocrats have little the best of the
presidential fight as 1t stands and if
the country can be kept out of war
honorably for the next few weeks
and nothing else develops in that
time from which che a ADMINISTRATION
can not extrlcate itself as well as it
has from all previous entangling Sit
uations, that Wilson will land back
in the white house. but we realize
that Hughes is a formidable oppo-
nent, strong candidate and is prov
ing an indefatigable campaigner who
needs to be watched and kept close
tab on and frequently checked up be-
fore the great forum of american vo-
ters. Wilson is proving himself a.
bundantly able for the task and keen
on his trail and smashing with his
strokes OF counter-argument.

Mississippi 0utdistanced In IIIiteracy
Campaign.
Meridian Dispatch.

Meridian Dispatch.
Mississippi has been distanced a
gain in the fight upon illiteracy in
the South. Georgia has passed the
compulsory education bill. Alabama
is to be effective at the opening of
the school term. Florida has recog-
nized in some degree the principles
upon which the law is founded.
Mississippi is the only state in the
South and perhaps in the Union
which recognizes no right of school
to hale children into the
public schools. Mississippi needs
this law as her sister states forging
ahead of her.

With print paper at six cents a
pound printing a newspaper and
mailing it to subscribers is almost
like writing each of them personal
letter. The newspapers are gong
to have to economic in every way
possible, and it is only matter of a
short time when advertising rates
will have to be advanced or the pub
fishers go out of business.

Too Many IdIers In The Land.

Ripley Sentinel.
Our trouble with this country is
that we have too manv people trying
to live without work. Just pure
downright idleness. Idleness may
not be a crime but it lays the foun-
dation for multitude of sins. The
boy who goes about his daily work
and keeps at his post never gives
his parents any cause for serious
worry and his name rarely ever a
dorns the pages of the court dock

The presidential race is just now
beginning to warm up fully All
the leading candidates have been
notified" of their nominations and
read their speeches of acceptance"
and are now unloading campaign
speeches upon the public in the great
centers of population. Hughes is
lambasting the democratic admins
tration particularly along the lines
OF the mexican policy; the eight-hour
railroad strike law and european war
neutrality policies. Wilson has put
it up pretty strong to the bewhlsk-
cred candidate in the last few days
to propose the remedy and tell the
american people what he would do
with these problems in plain state
ment. That is a logical demand.
Its an axiom of logic that he who
proposes a criticism shall along with
it suggest the remedy or cure.

Newspapers Have To Charge Same Old
Prices.
Aberdeen Examiner

Aberdeen Examiner
The unprecedented advance in the
price of White paper, mounting up in
some cases to 200 per cent. is
causing the greatest anxiety to
newspaper publishers throughout
the country. A number of the daily
papers are serving notice that only
"pald-up' subscribers will get their
papers in the future. 1t is said that
bankruptcy and ruin face some of
these publication, unless relief comes
soon AS a sample of the advance,
it is only necessary to state that
common news, that sold on the
market six months ago for q cents
per pound is now bringing 6 and
81 cents And yet the advertisers
expect the same old rates; subscrib-
ers are equally inslstent that there
be no change in subscription rates.
Suppose the grocers failed to note
the change in the price of flour, meat
lard or other commodities? 1t would
not take prophet to foresee his
early failure. He would not only be
as bad merchant, but a
'ool as well. Newspapers will have
TO do as other business men are do
ng, or else fail.
