CHRISTMAS

Many years ago, on Christmas day,
\ new born babe in a manger lay;
Born of virgin, as prophets had
told,
None else but God could the mystery
unfold.
Peace on earth. good will toward
men,
Angels came down from the heaven
ly realm.
4 carroll more sweet can ne'er be
told.
This message from God direct from
the throne.
a star of great beauty appeared in
the sky,
To direct the shepherds where the
Infant lie;
Precious gifts of gold the wise men
took
SO We read from the Word-God's
hpiN
This babe that lay in the Manager
that night.
The gift of Gods love. power and
might,
Was the Savior OF Mercy. Truth and
Life
To follow His footsteps leads into
the Light.
To the babe the gifts were myrrh
and gold.
But now this Savior is seeking mems
souls
A gift to offer. a present 10 bring.
A soul and body to Jesus our
king.

FORUM 9f THE
PEOPLE

Editor The News: The iniquitous
Shields bill, giving away the water
powers ON our navigable streams,
about which | wrote you on February
10, has been driven through the SEN
ate, but it has not passed the House.
There is still good chance not only
to stop this raid on public property
but to pass fair and honest water
power bill in its place.
Everything said about the Shields
bill in my letter to you was con
firmed in the debate. According to
its own supporters, this bill turns over
to the power interests waterpower
equivalent to twice the mechanical
power of every kind now used in the
United States, or enough to meet the
needs of two hundred million people,
This it does in perpetuity, although
pretending to limit the grant to fifty
years Small wonder there is pres
sure to get it through.
On March 21 substitute Tor the
Shields bill was reported to the House
of Representatives Unlike tEe
Shields bill, this House bill makes
no perpetual grant of public water
power, but wisely and in fact sets a
limit of fifty years. Nevertheless, it
is not yet a good bill. For example,
it gives away the public waterpower
without compensation. There is no
reason why the waterpower corpora
tions should not pay for what they
get. The rest of us do. The House
bill should be amended accordingly
If the House corrects it's own pIli
and then passes it, the good bill from
the House and the bill from the Sen
ate will go to conference, and the dit
ferences will be adjusted by the con
ferees. The managers Of tile water
power campaign believe that a major
ity Of the conferees will he friendly
TO them, and will report bill in theii
interest. They will then try to pust
/ the conference bill through, probably
in the confused and crowded fna
hours Of the session. Such a plan hal
often served the special interests il
the past, and it is dangerous now
/ During the debate on the Shield!

FOLLOW GULFPORT'S EXAMPLE,
Our hats are off to Gulfport. The

though we tried to secure the expo

we are entitled to it, Natchez should
stand ready to do everything possible
to help make the Centennial EXPOSE

We might well take a lesson from
what Gulfport and Harrison county
are doing. Our own two-hundredth

beautiful.
We have a climate in which yegeta-
tion and shrubbery thrives, visible eyi-
dence Of which may be seen along
every street, and all the the natural
advantages required to make ehis the
peerless city of the state.
While we have the grou2d work
for a beautiful city, to maintain that
jdesireable standard it is necessary
that the city should be given a thor
ough cleaning, and have the co-opera-
tion of all.
The thrifty housewife would never
think Of permitting her house to go an
entire year without a thorough clean
ing from cellar to garret, and thrifty
citizenship should exercise the same
degree Of pride in the cleanliness and
appearance of the city.
To the end that Clarksdale may be
truly termed the "Spotless City, and
make the best possible impression on
the many hundreds Of visitors who
will come to our fair city this sum
