centennial EXPOSITION. A
STRONG EDUCATIONAL FACTOR

One Of the strongest drawing cards
for any large exposition is always Its
educational possibilities. With the
Mississippi Centennial these POSSIBLE
tiles have doubled in value since it Is
the means by which Mississippians
will be placed for the first time in full
touch with the limitless promises of
their own State, while outsiders will
stand amazed as at sight of a new
world.
Here in every department will be
found the highest perfection yet at.

EDISON FOR WILSON.

Not since the Civil War, says Thomas A. Edi-
son, the great American inventor, has any cam
paign made such a demand on patriotism. 1t is
no time for craftsmanship, he argues. He says that
he is for Wilson, tnat he was for Roosevelt be-
cause of his experience and Americanism, "but
the nlacnine-controlied republicans would not have
him."
The reason this distinguished scientist gives
for supporting Woodrow Wilson are notable
More than any other president in my memory,
Woodrow Wilson has been faced by a succession
of tremendous problems, any one of which, decid-
ed the wrong way, would have had disastrous
consequences. Wilson's decisions so far have
caused no trouble, nor are they likely to. He has
given us peace with honor. Hughes talk about
the United States being d~espised is nonsense.
Neutrality is a mighty trying policy, but back OF
it are international law, the rights of humanity
and the future of civilization"
Thomas F. Bayard declared many years ago
that American president. Il elections are decided
by the Independent vote. On account of there be-
ing no progressive presidential candidate this
election the Independent vote will be unusually
large. 1t can be contider .y anticipated that the
majority of the %indepenG rnts, including the pro-
gressives, will vote for Woodrow Wilson because
Of reasons similar to those advances by Mr..
