Any way, 1t is understood that these two gentlemen have had their heads very close together at Washington and tat home" on the occasion of MT. ,Harri- sons recent visit to the state. Whether that is true or not, MT. Harrison had not been long returned to the national capitol before Governor Bilbo found time to run down to Hattfesburg, busy little city lying in MT. Harrisons district, and make announcement that he would be a candidate for Congress next time.
 ~ That was taken to mean that Mr. Harrison would not be a candidate for Congress to succeed himself. It was not believed that the governor would have the temerity to go up against MT. Harrison in south Mississippi, and his announcement was taken to mean that MT. Harrison was after a long haired scalp.
 ANNOUNCEMENT EXPECTED
 A few days later word came out of Washington that MT. Harrison would speak at-the Neshoba county fair on August 23, and it was stated he would then and there shy his castor into the senatorial arena against MT Varda- man. There was very general rejoicing at this-that is on the part of the steadily increasing anti-Vardaman contingent MT. Harrison is recog- nized and appreciated as very able man, and his record in Congress is heartily indorsed by the great major ity of the people of the state. He has stood squarely with President Wilson through troublous times, and that Is right where the intelligence of his

A Reception for Mr..
Root.

The mayor of New York has
appointed a committee to arrange
for public reception to Elihu
Root when he returns to his home
city. Some people are proposing
that a special medal be struck and
presented to Mr.. Root in the name
OF the nation to commemorate his
great service as chief of the A.
merlcan mission at Petrograd.
All this goes to prove that re.
publics are not ungrateful. Yet,
if it is desired to signallze Mr..
Roots return to America in a
manner befitting his merit, there
there is no need of committees or
medals or public receptions. The
finest greeting which Mr.. Root
can have is one which should
come to him through the United

The death of Judge Noah j.
Dever of Portsmouth, says the
Columbus Dispatch, removes one
of the most serviceable members
of the legislature in the last doz-
en- years. That is a little differ
ent from saying that he was the
most able. He brought with him
to his work in the legislature a
valuable experience not only at
the bar, but on the bench in his
own county. This, with a SUI
perior intelligence and a disposi-
ton to submerge partisanship,
helped him to help the state.

always occupied in oratory the

clate their ability. Newspaper

By way of explaining the dis.
crepancy in registration figures,
North and South, by means of
which the North is made to fur
nish an extraordinary proportion
of men for the draft, informa
tion has come to Representative
Madden of Illinois that in some
southern communities the negro
population was either not per.
mltted to register or was advised
not to regiSter--the plea. being
that they were needed at home
for labor. Of course. it was far
easier to keep the black man from
registering than to have him
register and then claim exemp-
ton for him. And keeping him
from registering was also of a
piece with the southern method
of keeping him from voting. The
black man, in the view of the
southern political manager, is of
use only to do manual labor or to
be counted in making up a popu-
lation upon which to secure Dem
Ocratic votes in Congress and in
the electoral college.

The president of the Standard
Oil Go. calls for economy in the
use of gasoline, the curtailment
of joy-riding and like expedients
to conserve the supply of oil,
which, he says, is not equal to
the demand. Mr.. Bedford is a
mossback. The law of supply
and demand has been set aside
by executive decree in this coun-
try. What business-the con-
duct of the war, every relation of
life in fact needs, according to
the Democrats, is not the appli-
cation of age-old laws and axi-
Oms, but legislation giving the
President power to commander
and to fix prices and to do all
sorts of things that never were
heard of before.
