A. Banker For Governor.

Much is being said in the State
press about q business admins
tratiOn. Several bankers have
been proposed as candidates for
governor in furtherance of this
idea. Doubtless. any one OF the
gentlemen proposed would be an
improvement on the present adj
ministration which consists of
theories, which put into practice
have brought burdens to the tax
payers without any benefit in
material results. Of course, the
principles of business should be
prominent in the operation of all
public affairs. but the application
of business principles alone
would not bring the blessings
needed. There is something else
to running a great State govern
ment besides the cold application
of business rules. The develop
ment of the States resources by
means of wise legislation is as
essential to the peoples welfare
as a thorough understanding of
business. The truth of the mat
ter is Mississippi needs an admin
istration at the hands of a COM
binatiOn mana man versed IN
craftsmanship as we'll as being
thoroughly educated in business
methods-a man who is not a
theorist, who is honest, patriotic.
energetic and who will stay on
the job.
Any one of the bankers pro-
posed would hold the State up to
its present standard of prosperity
and dignity, and. so far as The
Weekly is concerned. it would be
content to take any one of them
and feel that the State had not
been worsted by the change.
When it comes to proposing
bankers and business men for the
governorship, Monroe county
could supply as many as six
bankers and more than a
dozen business men, who would
measure up to the job. None of
these gentlemen. however, we
believe. would consent for their
names to go before the people.
We think they are right. for some
theorist would bob up and shadow
their qualities with vapid pratt
ings and a cry of persecution.

OBITUARIES AND TRIBUTES
Reserve Your Verdict.

The destiny of a country is not
consummated, nor its obituary
chrOnicled until that country has
ceased to exist as a nation. So
ii was with Rome and other de-
funct nations of antiquity. The
obituary of a statesman who
braves the popular sentiment in
cause that his judgment reveals
to him as right, if written before
that cause has been verified in
the light of development and
truth is violative of justice and
right.
So it was in the case of the
matches L. Q. G. Lamar, who
disobeyed the instructions of the
Mississippi legislature. and voted
against the silver bill in the sew
enties. The infatuated populace
of a popular idea condemned him
as reCalCitrant, and wrote his
political obituary. L, O. G. Lamar
was not at that time physically
dead. Time proved that he was
right; developments showed that
the pOpulace and not the man
was wrong. He afterwards
mounted in the scale of political
fame and integrity until now all
men delight to honor him as one
of the great men of the nation.
Differing from the popular and
dominant idea is not always
wrong.
A cOterie of Senators dared re-
Gently to differ with the Presi-
dent of the United States and a
dominant sentiment that had been
abnOrmally cultivated to conform
to his peculiar views.
1t is not certain that these SEN
atCrS were wrong; time and flu
ture developments will prove or
disprOye that. They vindicat-
ed L. &C. Lamar and other great
men in the past who asserted
their independence of the popu-
lar trend and stood out alone in
opposition to an overwhelming
belief.
Do not write the obituary of
the coterie of United States Sen
ators who differed with the pres
ident. 1t is possible they were
right; credit them at least, with
sincerity of motive and love of
country. Do not write these
mems political obituaries until
the test of time and developments |
may disclose their motives. They
may be patriots in a guise too
intricate for the public and un-
tutored mind to discern.
True, they are in the minority,
but remember the majority is not
always right; especially is this
true when that majority acts un-
der extraordinary conditions of
wounded honor and war-mad
passions. One cool head in a
crisis counts more for safety than
thousands that are under the con-
troll of incenSed feelings.
Let the future decide which
policy, whether that counseled
by the minority or pursued by
the majority is best for the coun-
try. Meantime reserve your YER :
dict until all of the testimony is
in. Then will it be time to dol
your duty as a patriot and an
American citizen.
