YOU'RE MIGHTY RIGHT. MIKE.

Now that Greenwood has a daily newspaner
the people are demanding a great white wav, and
no, doubt they will be given it. There is no rea.
son Why a prosperous and wealthy city like Green
wood should not have everything that other cities
possess.-Memphis News-Scimitar, 18th inst.
The Daily Commonwealth appreciates Editor
M. W. Connolly's frequent complimentary men
ton Of Greenwood and her progressive citizenship,
and we think we can safely assure him that they
are going to put in a Great White Way at no
very distant date in the real Queen City Of the
Yazoo-Mississipp Delta"

REGULATIONS.

City authorities have done well to turn their
attention to deyising an oridance to restrict the
use of excessively bright headlights on automo-
biles. The wonder is that there have not been a
series of tragedies as the result of these binding
searchlights. Dimming the lights will not inter-
fere with efficient driving of the machines on
clear roads, and will benefit it when two machines
are approaching one another.
There are a few other regulations for the pub
lie safety affecting automobiles which should be
put into effect here.
Prolonged and unnecessary sounding of horns
should be prohibited. No private machine should
be permitted to be equipped with a gong or with a
siren initiative of those used by the fire depart
ment.
A revival Of the campaign against speeding
would be appreciated by the innocent bystanders.
The great majority Of motorists, we believe,
operate their cars with regard not only for their
own safety, but for the safety of others as well.
The mail minority of the reckless should not be
permitted to ~endanger the life and property of all.
Memphis News-Scimitar, 18th inst.
The above suggestions are very timely, and
every city and town should adopt prohibitive avs
against the n~uisances enumerated herein.

HOW HIGH DO YOU AIM IN LIFE?

In this age OF great attainmentS in the arts
and sciences, in the trades and professions, we
hear much said Of the duty of tanning high"
meaning, thereby, to excel in some particular
line.
The farmer is urged to develop his soil to the
maximum fertility, the stockman to develop his
live stock to the highest point. The manufacture
er is not satisfied with an inferior article, but
must produce the best. The lawyer aspires to be
q leader in his profession, while the doctor would
be a final authority on the ills of the flesh.
This is all commendable and as it should be-,
for t.is just such an universal ambition to excel
that has made of these United States the great
nation she is today.
But there is one Industry" in which, without
careful thought, we as a nation are in grave dan
ger OF retrogration-of disintegration. That is
in the building OF character, in the making of good
citizens.
Too many of us appear content to live lust
within the law, to keep just within the lines, Civ.
ing scarcely a thought to the higher duties of life
that lie before us.
Should we not give more attention to the crea-
ton OF a high grade of manhood, as we'll as a per-
feet horse or dog? Should we not strive to pro-
duce men who will raise the standard of citizen
ship to a higher plane than that to which we,
their fathers, have attained?
The old adage, like father, like son." has long
ago been exploded in the brute creation. It can
be so in the realm Of human affairs-is 80 in in
Vulnerable instances.
While it may not be possible for us to scale
earth's loftiest mountain peak, yet does that give
US license to grovel at the base of the meanest
hill?
10 reduce a sermon to a few words, we achieve
nothing in life that is higher than the goal to
which we aspire, for the destiny of each man is
controlled by the quality of his own mind.
How high do YOU aim in life?

TOWN BOMBARDED BUT
CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL
Rheims Has Daily Average of 1900
Pupils-Not One Hurt Yet.

Rheims, France, Aug. 30.-(Cor.
Associated Press .)-With a daily av-
erage of 1900 pupils attending school
above and below ground, in Rheims
during the last eighteen months under
intermittent bombardment, not a sim
gle injury or accident has happened
to any of the scholars. Classes have
to be interrupted for days at a time,
but the fact never lessons the zeal Of
the teachers or the diligence of the
pupils, though the enemy is not more
than 1000 yards off.
To a large extent the classes are
held in the cellars and wine-caves Of
the town, in some instances in caves
two stories below the surface of the
street. There the air is more humid
and there is less light than in the or
binary schoolrooms above ground, but
otherwise there is little difference in
the conditions or the routine.
When a bombardment begins some
If the children show signs Of fear;
not always for themselves, but for
father or mother whom they think
must be in danger. When the bonn
parchment has completely ceased the
children are dismissed and sent home.
The streets are then safe excepting
The extrior boulevards where the chill
iren are warned not to go.
Some Of the school scenes are trag-
ic, others comis, Notwithstanding
tragical surroundings. A class will be
at work when suddenly a servant
opens the door and calls out that
they are %bombarding close BY" A
second or two later the noise of a
shell bursting on a nearby house
makes the smaller children tremble
md cry. At once the classes are led
Town into the cellars, some of them
carried by soldiers who have come in
off the street to avoid shell splinters.
