THINKS SENTINEL EDITOR
n WOULD MAKE
GOOD GOVERNOR

Why is it that Mississippi can not
have a cessation from the administra-
ton OF the most important Office in
1t by a demagogue or men who get
elected because they play to the gal
lery OF some supposed public whim
that has no more to do with the ad-
ministration of the office than has
Hindenberg to do with Haig? We
long for the time to come when the
masses of our people will consider a
mans ability to think and act, rather
than to lay great stress upon his abil-
lty to howl in sympathetic tones
about the wrongs of the people and
then Immediately upon being induct-
ed into office forget the dear peo-
pie" who voted for him, so far as
any remedy being proposed to am
eliorate their condition is concerned.
While the manager of this paper
is not permitted to vote under the
law, yet, on spasmodic occasions, we
do some thinking. We have seen a
series OF governors elected along the
same lines by a lawyers ability to
make a touching speech" this same
lawyer having little to commend him
for qualification to perform the duties
OF the high office to which he aspires
save the ability to speak and cry and
say he is a friend of the poor peo-
ple;" and yet it seems there is no
change in Mississippi, notwithstand-
ing these lawyers of mediocre ability
Immediately become unpopular when
they get into the governors office, if
we read the signs of the times cor
rectly.
What governor since 1900 has not
been more popular when indicted
into Office than when he came out?
And now we have the spectacle of
the people themselves bowling down
any effort to have a business man
administer the duties of this office.
and wanting only lawyers who have
accomplished but little in their pro-
fession mentioned for the office, and
when a business mans name is men,
toned he is howled to deirsion or
treated with silent contempt. Some
l~evel-headed men over the state of
Mississippi have flashed their eyes on
our friend and neighbor, Hon. o. F.
Lawrence, of The Grenada Sentinel
and have seen fit to speak words OF
commentator, all of which he de.
serves. His editorship of The Gre,
NADIA Sentinel has not been mediocre
but he has made his paper a high
class, readable paper, with strons
editorials, showing clearness OF
thought, alertness of mind and abil
ity to construct.
We. for one. would be glad to Sc,
the time come when we could get
candidate for governor whose mali
plea for votes would not be a reputa
ton of doubtful notoriety. rathe'
than a truly famous man. a bushes
man or a genius. Why shouldn't al
editor, or a farmer, or Il bushes
man be permitted to aspire to tn.
Office of governor? And why shouldn'
our friend, Mr.. o. F. Lawrence, from
our sister county. Grenada. get tn
support of the people? The only rea
son we can see is that he is not
lawyer who has obtained some degre
of notoriety by mixing in with mat
ters of questionable propriety.-

STUDENTS MAKE TOYS
FOR RED CROSS SALE

The students of the manual train
ing and domestic science departments
of the Bonners Ferry high school
assisted by those in the 5th, 9th, 7th
and Sth grades are hard at work
making articles to sell for the bene-
fit Of the Red Cross. The money
obtained will be used to purchase
materials for making Red Cross gar
ments. Much interest has been ex-
hibited by all of the students and it
is hoped that the labor expended will
be amply repaid by the proceeds
from the sale. Domestic science girls
are making dolls, doll clothes, bed
ding, etc, so that the childr,n of
Bonners Ferry may be patriotic and
at the same time be visited by Santa
Claus. The boys of the manual
training department are cooperating
with the girls by making toys, doll
beds, ETC., as well as many other
articles which will be very accept
able Christmas gifts for older men,
bers of the family.
The sale will be held Thursday
and Friday, December Goth and Dist
in the Red Cross rooms over Reid's
department store. This gives every
one an opportunity of buying "made
in Boomers Ferry" Christmas gifts.
Come and look them over, buy some
and help the worthy cause.

R0ESSLER AT
LEAVENW0RTH

Charles Roesler, Co. B, 7th Engi-
neers, writes the Herald this week
an interesting letter, in part as fol-
lows:
"With 1874 other members of the
Engineers l arrived here, (Fort
Leavenworth, Kas.) on a special
train from jefferson Barracks on
Thanksgiving day and | sat down to
mighty swell dinner, one that
don't believe could be duplicated. 1t
consisted of turkey and some 43
other good things to eat. The dim
ner today, Sunday was fit for a
king. We have brick sleeping quar-
tiers with steam heat. We have
good drill officers. Our rifles were
issued to us yesterday and we had a
good job cleaning them. The men
here have trenches dug and are still
at it, l saw 1900 military prisoners
drill last week. No commands were
given. They drill to music, having
a band of their own and they go
through at least a hundred forma-
lions and are as near perfect as can
be- When off drill the prisoners
wear different uniforms from ours
and they are kept track of by num-
bers which are stamped on the back
of their coats and on each trouser
leg in large figures. l don't want
to get into that prison and if do
it will be through ignorance. The
federal prison and the Kansas state
penitentiary are quite near here and
| guess in these two institutions they
have room for us all if there is
need.
The Y. M. C. A. has fine build
ing here and words fail me in try
ing to tell of the good the organiza-
ton does for the men in camp.
don't know what l would do if l did
not have that comfort kit that the
w. c. T. U. and Commercial club
gave me. l want to thank them
most heartily.
We have to look sharp or we will
miss saluting the officers as the pri-
Yates here are allowed to wear
leather puttees and on this account
it is hard to distinguish between an
officer and a private sometimes.
Kansas City is nearby and a round
trip ticket only costs So cents. l am
going there when l get a pass to
visit a sister. Goodbye. Best re-
CARDS to all.
CHARLES A. ROESSLER.
