THE FIRST BLOSSOM.

It is stated on good authority
that one swallow does not make
a summer. Neither does one
blossom make a spring, nor one
candidate start a campaign.
However, one swallow lndl-
Gates that summer is coming, one
flower is evidence that spring is
near at hand. and one candidate
is proof that a campaign will fol-
low. Therefore we feel justified
in announcing to our readers
that political campaign is COM
ing in dear old Mississippi; unless
the Germa Empire heads it off,
Our reason for this prophecy is
the appearance of the first can
didate.
Assistant Attorney General
Lamar F. Easterling has re-
signed from the Department of
Justice and has announced that
he will make the race for attor-
ney general in 1919. When asked
if this were true, he replied: l
am running right now" He also
states that he has heard of no
opposition and does not want to
hear of any. Which is also true.
Mr.. Easterling is a splendid
young man, and a good lawyer:
Should he be elected, he will
break the rule so long good in
this State, that we never have a
lawyer for Acknowledgement. =
The Issue.
If the Issue will except the
present able lawyer who so oc-
ceptably fills the exalted office
to which it alludes, it has our
concurrence. The people of Mis-
sissippi made no mistake when
they placed Hon. Ross A. Col
Inns at the head of the states
legal department, and from pres
ent indications we predict that
he will be made chief executive
two years hence.

Don't Complain.

The world Is full of complainers.
Some complain of i'll health, many Of
Ill fortune and most of all Of Ill luck.
A pound of pluck is worth ton OF
luck. 1t is not a perfect world. Who
is well every day throughout the year
without an ache, pain or cough?
Who is perfect in physique, in tenn
per, in deed and word and conscience?
What man or woman is without a
weakness or reason at times for mis-
givings or cause at times for repent
ance?
1t is world of foibles, fads and
fanatics. If we were all perfect the
preachers would be needless. Heaven
would be on earth.
There is comfort in the thought that
the striking differences we find among
men and women make the world at
tractive. If all were alike the mo-
notony would be unbearable.
Think of those things when you feel
like repining over i'll health, Ill fortune,
Ill treatment or Ill luck.
Misery loves company and there are
always "others."-John A. Sleicher, In
Leslie's.
