Union Station for Aberdeen


The officials of the three rail-
roads, the Mobile and Ohio, the
Illinois Central and the Frisco,
met in Aberdeen week before
last and decided to build a un-
ion depot. The Aberdeen
Weekly states that 'fhe object
of consolidating the business of
the three roads is to conserve
man power, increase the facili-
ties for handling of freight and
passenger traffic, and to make
Aberdeen's railroad service
more convenient to the public.
The roads have delayed this
decision far too long, and just
at this time the presumption
can well be taken that an orr
der from one in authority high
er up is behind the movement.
Mr.. McAdoo was not educated
in a railroad Office, but he
knows how to conserve man
power, how to have freight
handled expeditiously and
cheaply, and also that the pub
lie is entitled to good service
and when it is paid for should
have it. There is nothing more
annoyning to the travelling pub
lie than to strike a own like
Aberdeen, West Point or Co
lumbus, and have to transfer
from one road to another. You
are subjected to the annoyance
and expense of securing trans
portation for yourself and your
baggage and frequently where
connections are close you are
left over by the train getting
away a few minutes before you
reach the station. Local infu-
ences as a rule, favor as many
depots as there are roads be-
cause it gives a little penny bus
mess to bus and jitney drivers
and draymen. This benefit is
offset by the very unfavorable
opinion that isscreated against
a town that puts up with such
conditions. Now that West
Point has found a place on the
map, it should see to it that the
roads getting it's business
should serve the people by
building a union station rather
than have the travelling public
annoyed by the great incon-
veniences that are found inget-
ting through that town.

Don't Gloom the Boys.


If you have any regard Tor
the boys in France, don't write
gloomy letters. Keep the
clouds out of your correspond
ence, and let it breathe naught
but sunshine and cheer. Ii
doubts assail you, keep them to
Yourself, and give the soldier
boy letters breathing optimism
and confidence. If family cares
and worries beset you remem-
Der that his care is infinitely
greater than your own. Your
burden is a personal one, while
on his brave shoulders rests the
cares of a nation.
Bright, confident letters from
home, breathing of love and
confidence in our cause and in
the heroes who are upholding
it, will do more to win this war
than any other agency. And
gloomy forebodings and wall
|ings will as surely retard if not
defeat us. Your boy should
hear none but good news from
home unless it be absolutely
necessary. Not that his love
and devotion is any less than OF
old, rather greater. This he is
proving by his presence on the
battle front. But his one SUI
preme thought now is to strike
with the utmost of his power
for the safety and sanctity OF
his home, and his heart should
know no other care.
Keep the glooms at home, II
they must exist, and send the
sunshine to the boys.

SOUTH MISSISSIPPI DAIRYMEN
PLAN BIG MEETING


For the fourth semi-annual meet
ing of the South Mississippi Dairy
mems association to be held at
Jackson, Miss, May 20, an unusually
good program has been announced by
j. p. Lancaster, assistant dairy hus-
bandman of the A.. and M. College
Extension Service, who is in charge
of the dairy work in the southern part
Of the state. An important feature
of the meeting will be the organiza-
ton of a State Jersey Breeders As
-sociation. In view of this and the
increasing interest in dairying
throughout the state one of the lar
gest crowds Of dairy farmers yer
assembled in this state is expected.
The program which Mr.. Lancaster
thinks will justify ven the busiest
farmer leaving his work and spend
ing the day refreshing his mind on
dairy subjects, is as follows:
Meeting called to order at the
Court House promptly at $3.50 A. M.
by President E. P. Miller.

The Bristows

Among the extreme pacifits
of the country former Senator
Joseph F. Bristow of Kansas
has taken first rank. He has
been "agin" the war and the
administration all along and
has never failed to give the adj
ministration a punch wherever
and whenever opportunity was
offered.
He wants to return to the
senate and in order chat he may
get the votes of the loyal cit
liens of his state he now claims
that he is supporting the ad-
ministration and will continue
to do so until the war is over.
All the people of Kansas are
not back of Mr. Bristow. Some
of the newspapers of the state
are warning the people against
this former pacifst who they
know cannot be trusted to rep
resent a loyal people. The En-
poria Gazette, edited by Will
liam Allen White, has this to
say with reference to Bristow's
candidacy:
"Former Senator Joseph L. Bristow
in announcing what he is for in a
signed editorial printed this week IN
his paper, says he was against the
declaration of war. Well-if we did
not have war, what did Bristow want?
Did he want Americans to keep off
the seas? Did he want us to skulk
behind the British navy and let Eng
land do our fighting for us? Or did
he want England licked and then a
war on American soil, with a prepar-
ed nation like Germany landing in
Mexico and marching up the Missis-
sippi valley, turning this country in
to a Belgium? For certainly England
and France could not whip Germany,
and if they were whipped, as they
would be by now with America out,
it would be Americas turn next"
The Kansas editor goes far
Their and gives to his people
some very sound advice. Bris-
tow's case is similar to the case
of other representatives who
have not stood by the admins
tration. It is we'll for every
true and loyal citizen to weigh
we'll the words of Mr.. White in
considering who he will vote
for in this hour of the country,s
peril. He goes on to say:
"The nan who says he was against
a declaration Of war by this country
against Germany, after all the IN
suits we mad received, does not ring
true as an American. No matter
what party dominates him, he should
not be permitted to sit in the United
Stetes Senate and vote on terms of
peace with Germany.
''The time is coming in this coun-
try when men like Bristow and La
Toilette will head a peace at any
price party. The war is not well be-
gun We must fight for two or three
years, and we must not have in office
any man who would cry, over Ii
list of dead: For Gods sake, haven't

eel George Do 1t"

Let George Do 1t.
1t is a lamentable fact that
thousands of otherwise good,
loyal citizens of this country
have never outgrown that boy
ish inclination to want George
to do it. They have not real
lied that both themselves and
George have grown to mans
stature and assumed mans OBJ
legations.
In fact we as a people have
been long accustomed to regard
with complacency that familiar
quotation, THAT which is ev-
erybody's business is nobody's
business, until the very thought
has become a part of our ma
tuers.
But we are now being rudely
aroused to the unpleasant fact
that George" is busy-too
busy to assume the obligations
that WE fain would shirk. He
has also a task that is calling
for the best that is in him. In
this emergency there are but
two courses left to us-either
to bravely shoulder our load
and march with the workers or
shirk the responsibility and be
relegated to the rear with the
other slackers.
And what a world Of shame
and disgrace can be compress
ed into that word Stacker
With what contempt we have
always regarded the balky
horse, rearing and plunglng
and fretting himself into a few
er just to escape the task of
load, the burden of
which would have been far less
tiresome than his silly, obsti-
rate objections.
Thus with some people who
call themselves good Ameri-
cans. The load they are asked
to assume would not prove at
all oppressive if taken up cheer
fully and carried patiently and
bravely.
1t isn't only the German spy,
the German sympathizer or ev-
en- the pro-German American
who is doing most to clog the
wheels of the great war ma
chine. The heaviest drag to
that machine is the man who
whines for George tosdo the
work that even his own craven
conscience tells him he, himself
should do. He is not only not
a help, but is a dead weight be-
cause he is leaving undone that
which his government had ev-
cry reason to expect he would
do.
Reader, if you are expecting
George" to do it, take another
think. George" is busy-des--
perately busy, and has neither
the time nor the inclination to
take up the burden you have SO
shamefully cast down and
abandoned.

Question of Loyalty is Para
mount

The New York Herald says:
EsThe first duty of the patriotic
Americans Of each of the politl-
cal parties is to see that no man
whose heart is not loyal shall
obtain a nomination for the Sen
ate or the House of Represen-
tatives. Only when the loyalty
of every nominee is established
beyond question can voters be
Indifferent on election day.
When in any State or in any dis
trict there appears as the nom
inee of any party a man whose
disloyalty is clear, or whose
loyalty is questioned, it is the
supreme duty of patriots to
forget party and combine to &C
