Hon. Sydney II. Smith, Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Miss issippi,
spent Wednesday and Thursday in
Noxubee. Judge Smith came here
with many friends whom he had served
in public capacities with or who had
been heretofore thrown in personal
contact with him. and he left with a
great many more who were attracted
by the plain and honest simplicity of
character Of the man and impressed
with his ability and fitness as a Judge.
There is some current misunder-
standing as to the men and judicial
Offices involved in the coming primary .
We are to vote for two supreme court
judges, one for the term beginning in
January, 1917, the candidates for this
position being Clayton D.. Potter,

whose term will begin January, 1918,

these modern moralists, lies; but
they are taught the worst Of
lies, that the greatest and most
important thing in life is to
live" They must not be
whipped lest their dear little
souls be hurt"
The remedy for this situation
we are told is quite apparent.
THE greatest thing that needs
to be done is to teach children
self-Control, not as is now the
fashion, to protect them from
stress and strain, but to teach
them to withstand stress and
strain" That is what will help
UNNECESSARILY to make the nation
less seIf-seeking, less material
istic-and therefore less likely to
degenerate and die.
Idealism in life must indeed be
preached from the housetops in
America. Self-control. self'sac-
rihce, the social duty to our
nei&hbor, all are gravely needed
for he preservation of our ma
tioual security and life. Dis
cip..ne is required for our democ-
rae. And that discipline will
come through the proper train
ing of this nations youth.
America must learn the lesson
of lf-restraint and of the dead
en- g influence of commercial
ism The sooner this is learned
the better will it be.

Those of our friends who have
been asking "what is the matter
with Bilbo and Collins?' may be
able to get a crumb of informa-
tion from the above. When poll
ticians ''hop' there is some
reason for the change, and it was
never clear to the friends of the

defeat the legislation that he rec.

of the legislature. But now that
the Attorney General has been
