THE RESULT IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

The Crystal Springs Meteor, heretofore an enthusiastic fienc
OF Senator Vardaman, says: The result of the election in the fifth
district should admonish Senator Vardaman that his opposition to
the Presidents plan of national defense is not endorsed by the peo-
pie of Mississippi" Surely this esteemed contemporary does not
expect "admontion" to shake the faith of the White Chief in the
infallibihty of his opinion. Were Vardaman to be swerved BY the
popular voice to support the President, he would be no more than
1.-The average congressman" which he has described in his speech on
preparedness" at Bay St. Louis and elsewhere, with Characteristic
decency of dichon: The LITTLE FOOLS GO TO SEE THE MAN OF THE
WHITE HOUSE AND SOON THEY ARE DOWN ON THEIR BELLIES BEFORE
HIM LIKE POINTER PUPPIES" In this same speech he put up the fol.
lowing bluff which the Fifth district has called: "If you people in
Mississippi are dissatisfied with my stand on that question, will
hand you back my commission. "-Vicksburg Herald.
The election of Judge Venable in the Fifth district was indeed a
splendid endorsement of President Wilson and a singing rebuke to
Vardaman and those who n doing all within their power to feter
the President, the result of which will be the undoing of the Demo-
cratic party. The issue in the Fifth district was clean cut for and
against the Presidents policies and he was endorsed overwhelmingly,

MUST QUIT EATING

South Must Stop Time.Honored sys
tenn OF Economic Suicide,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. 1.-THE PEG.
pie of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made il they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and Injuries of life due
them." says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and a fore
most authority on farm conditions in
the southeast.
THE south must stop forever it's
time-honored system Of economic sui
cide," says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps were made last year toward a
condition of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt. They were forced steps.
it is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs we're made in
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands of farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
with higher cotton prices, it is
going to be a great temptation to
drop back into the old habit of put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop N may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer-
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us by conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then. but unnec-
essary 10
Year after year we have stayed in
the same old rut as a matter Of habit,
eating our crops, SO to speak, before
they were made, a financially suicidal
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstone.
IF the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted US long ago.
What's the answer? 1t is home pro-
duction by each farmer of every dol
lars worth of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that it is posi-
BILE to grow on his own acres. This
good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, cow and something to feed
them IN through the year."

LET SIX PER CENT EXEMPTION ALONE.

There may be a few who are honestly deceived or are mis- take en-
but a large part of the "demand' for the repeal of the law exemot-
ing money loaned at six per cent from taxation comes from the
money-lender that is loaning at a rate higher than six per cent ano
is not listing the loans with the tax assessor. The a fellow
would loan at a higher rate than ten per cent if that were the con.
tract rate.
The six per cent exemption law was passed after repeated de-
mands by the Farmers Union and is one of the best laws for the
poor man and the borrower that has been placed on the statute
books for years. Let the legislators scratch under the skin of the
fellows asking for the repeal of the six per cent exemption law and
they will either find that he has an axe to grind Or he is the medium
through which somebodyelses sentiments are being made known.
Let it alone.

A Difference of Opinion.

AS to President Wilson's judgment,
ability and knowledge, The Record
does not believe that Senator Varda.
man could have vanity enough to ever
claim to be his equal, with due regard
for the Senator's splendid ability. The
Record regards President Wilsan the
greatest President this country has
ever had, and has more confidence in
his judgment than it has in that of
Senator Vardaman.
Then, is it not just as reasonable to
conclude that the President has as
much right to say that Vardaman has
been improperly influenced in the course
he is pursuing or is at fault in judg-
ment, as it is for him to make such
charges against the President?
The Record does not think that either
has the right to make such accusations,
and Senator Vardaman is making a big
mistake in So accusing him, because
the President does not happen to see
the thing like he does, and about all
the Senator is accomplishing is to help
split the Democratic party. 1t is all
right for him to contend for what he
believes is right and best for the coun-
try, but not to accuse others of crood-
edness, because they d. not see just as
he does. 1t is simply a difference of
opinion. Newton Record.

A MUCH APPRECIATED COMPLIMENT.

NoNLl
Only a few days ago, a good friend, a mere liant of Enid anc
one of that towns best citizens, in writing to another friend of this
writer. paid The Sentinel the following duly appreciated compliment
What he said was not written for publication, but we are taking the
liberty OF using it anyway. An editor who has any convictions OF
his own and who is bold enough to proclaim them is o often a tar
get that he feels at times that it is almost like an oasis in the desert
to have his work commended, and when the commentator comes
from such a capable Judge of what a newspaper should be as our
friend at Enid, we feel sure that we will be pardoned for any seeming
vanity in giving his opinion of The Sentinel in these columns:
THE old Reliable Grenada Sentinel. Grenada is an excellent
name and The Sentinel is not of the Mutt and Jeff kind, who run
when danger appears, but its Editor stands his ground and fulfls
every duty. The Grenada Sentinel always defends the government
of the United States and the commonwealth of Mississippi. The
paper is a splendid representation of Grenada county and the hand
some and attractive city of Grenada. The present Editor of The
Sentinel is one of the best all-round newspaper men in the state; he
is an excellent paragrapher and when it comes to subjects deeper
and broader, his writings show depth of thought and splendid die
tion, oftentimes going into brlliancy. May The Sentinel and its
Editor continue for a long time"

A Thought for a Week.

You must give if you expect to re-
c~eive-give happiness, friendship, lovel
joy and you will find them floating back
to you. Sometimes you will give more
than you receive. We all do that
in some of our relations, but it is as
true a pleasure often to give without
return as life a afford us. We must
not make bargains With the heart, as
We would with the butcher for his
meat. Our business is to give-what
we can get to give. The return we
have nothing to do with. 1t will all
come in due time-in this world or an
other. Samuel Bowles,

The Pity OF 1t.

Some in the dark and some in the light
But none at the jobs they're made for;
Each with a hurt and each with a blight
Doing the things they're paid for,
The n with her eyes on the blossom
ing lands
Is trimming your bonnets- the pity!
The one with the poppies adrip from
her hands
Looks dreamily out to the city
Poor fool!
So thirstily out toward the city!
Some in the dark and some in the light,
And all in a wretched tangle;
The women who love, alone in the night,
And the jades with a host to mangle;
The mothering one with her breasts
still dry,
The merciless one with a baby;
And everyone asking, and none know
ing why,
Poor earthlings, the dupe and the gaby!
Poor earthlings, always the gaby!
Some IN the dark and some in the light,
For life is a strange magician;
He banters them all with a conjurer's
might
The pauper and the patrician;
And non ever knew and none ever will,
Though they sunder their spirits to
t~atters,
All, grateful they are when the heart
beats are still,
For down in the grave nothing matters;
So still!
Where nothing above eve matters!
Jane Burr, in New York Times.

Anent Gov. Brewers message to the legislature regarding the
insertion OF the constitutional amendments which provide for three
more justices of the Supreme Court and hereafter for the election
by the people of all the members of the Supreme Court, we heard a
very able and distinguished lawyer of Grenada, Judge VIM. c. Nc.
Lean, say a sew days ago that it was his opinion that Gov. Brewer
nor anyone else had any authority to name the three new Judges
provided for-that the one and the orly way to place them O. the
bench was to elect them by popular voe. He stated that the con
