THE WHY'S OF SUCH PUBLICATIONS.

We note that certain newspapers in the state, which have
talked about all they dared to of anti-war, are taking great
pains to show just now that certain big corporations are max
ing huge profits out of the war. This is no doubt true. 1t hath
ever been thus and it will be until time shall be no more. What
is true of this country is true of every other country on the
globe and those in authority are in no wise responsible for it
and these newspapers know it. Their only reason for empha-
sizing such things is to sustain a certain politician who has
achieved the distinction of the kicking mule. 1t is evidently
hoped that by the dissemination of such data now, to fire the
resentment of the less fortunate man and the man of little
to the man who has not been exactly satisfied with the way any
thing has been done by the government in regard to the war
These same newspapers fail to state that the cotton farmers
OF the South are receiving this year over two billion dollars for
their crop or more than 100 per cent more for the cotton crop
than they go, last year. These same newspapers fail to state
that the whole country is prosperous and that the farmers Of
the South have more money per capita than ever before. These
same newspapers fail to state that every business which has
to do with agriculture, stock raising or manufacturing, is en-
joying a prosperity never before realized in the history of this
government. These same newspapers fail to state that it was
the Wilson administration that gave the country the Federal
Reserve banking law which law made panics very nearly i'm
possible-and it is well understood that it is always the farmer
and the man of little means generally who get it in the neck
when a panic is on; they fail to state that it was the Will
son administration that gave the farmers the Farm Loan bank
ing law; that it was the Wilson administration that reduced the
tariff in the interests Of the consumers of manufactured pro-
ducts in this country; that it was the Wilson administration
that passed the g. hour law for rail road epployes-in,fact there
hasrhever beenear President in the White House who laborea
more faithfully to care for the farmers and the toi]ers of the
country. Come clean gentlemen Your patriotism and your
0Wn sense OF justice and right should admonish you not to hit
your own government below the belt when it is battling against
the biggest governmental devil in the Worlds history.
But what could we or any other government do in a crisis
without these big moneyed concerns? t

A WISE SELECTION.

Secretary of the Treasury has shown great wisdom as a
cabinet official but, he has done very few things that display
better judgment than in naming Mr.. j. T. Thomas of Grenada
to head the war savings movement in>Mississippi. Mr.. Thomas
is a man of clear vision and knows how to bring things to pass.
He has gone to work on the task before him with the same zeal
and a~ssiduity that have marked him about all other matters
and Mississippi may be counted on now to rank we'll to the
front in this movement Nobody is asked to give, but the idea
is to encourage savings. Mr.. Thomas is serving without sal
airy. His only reward will be that of duty we'll performed.

THINKS NAME SHOULD BE ON REPUB
LICAN TICKET.

Personally, the editor of this paper is opposed to the re-
election of Senator Vardaman for various and sundry reasons.
We do not see how his return to the Senate would benefit any
one in the State besides himself. He may have been ever so
honest in voting and standing for those things that he thought
were right, but if he was right, then the President and all the
Democrats were wrong. We prefer staying with the Demo
Gratis. Judging from the Senator's record during his tenure Of
office. if we thought he was right, we should rather see his
name on the Republican ticket. where it would rightfully be-
lone. If he is right, he doesn't belong with the Democrats, but
in the other fold. We do not believe in seeing a sheep in wolfe's
clothing For these reasons. we do not see how his return to
the Senate would help the people of the State.-Tallahatchie
Herald.

There are hundreds. yea thousands, of fathers in Missis-
sippi whose sons have voluntarily enlisted in some branch of
the service of the army or navy, yet these fathers are are not
going up and down the land trying to use that fact as a poiti-
cal asset. The man who would do that is in about the same class
as the man who has his religion in his wifes name. All honor
to the son who enlsts, even if he does get a commission and it
takes the application of the fathers official position to get the
aforesaid commission. There is much consolation in the
erS.

Had Russia not resented Austria-Hungarys interference
in Servia. then possibly this world wide war would not have
been started when it was, and may be better war preparations

What is being done in Russia shows what comes OF mob

even a bad law or for a mob to depose even a bad, legally con-

Last week the supreme court OF the
United States handed down a decision
which gives the prohibition forces the
most powerful weapon they have ever
had. The supreme court declares
constitutional the Webb Kenyon act
designed TO prevent the shipment of
liquor from non prohibition states
into prohibition states. According to
this decision, any state may enact any
laws it pleases to prevent it citizens
from obtaining Intoxicating liquor,
and the constitutionality of such laws
csnnot be questioned. Until now it
has been held that prohibition states
could not prevent such shipments by
common carriers, that any individual
had the right to have sent to him from
outside the state any liquor he might
desire, and 30 long as it was intended
for his personal use and not for sale,
it could not be seized or confiscated.
This decision puts an entirely different
face upon the matter. A prohibition
state may now absolutely prevent any
Of its citizens from securing liquor
from outside the state. If it's laws
prohibit it's citizens from making use
of common carriers to transport
liquor, the officials of the state whose
duty it is to enforce the laws may
seize any liquor in transit, whether it
be by express, by freight or in vessels,
and the individual owner has no re-
dress.

The Budget >ystem.

Governor Milliken, in his inaugural
address, urged the adoption of the
budget system in making State APP
preparations, and asked the legislature
to join with him in establishing the
system. He decried the present hap
hazard way of making appropriations,
which made scrutiny of proposed ap-
preparations and possible sources of
revenue impossible. He summarized
the budget plan briefly but clearly as
follows:
The budget plan is the presentation of q
complete financial program by the RESPONSE
BILE executive before any expenditures have
been authorized by the legislature. Such
available revenue and detailed schedule of
expenditures. Members are thus enabled to
judge for themselves the comparative inn
portance Of all proposed appropriations.
By this system, . member favoring an in
crease in any particular appropriation be-
yond the budget estimate must accept Q
definite responsibility for advocating this
added expenditure. 1t is also evident to
every member and to the general public that
an increase in any particular expenditure be-
yond the amount suggested in the budget
must be Offset by corresponding decrease
in some other item.
The governor proposes series of
informal public hearings, conducted
jointly by the governor and council
and the appropriate legislative COM
mittee, to prepare a detailed budget.
This work, he thought, could be com
pleted in about three weeks, but
would cause no delay in legislative
for under the customary
method OF formal committee hearings,
