GIVE THE YOUNG
MEN A CHANCE

to reduce the age limit for Gov
ernor from thirty years to
twenty-one years IS righteous
and meritorious matter.
The only fault to be found
with the proposition IS that it Is
not wide enough in its scope; it
should include not only section
III but every section with ar
arbitrary age limit above twenty
one for any office.
When an American citizen
comes to be twenty-one years OF
age, not only the franchise but
every official position should be
open to him. Il IS a poor princi-
pie that gives him the right to
vote and not the right to be vo-
ted for; why deny him the priv
lege of office holding for nine
years after reaching lis majorl-
ty?
Furthermore, we believe the
people may be trusted in the eX-
ercise of the ballot. If an mex
perienced an unqualified man
stands for Office it is reasonably
certain that the voters Will at
tend to his case and suggest to
him by an insufficlency of votes
that he '@tarry at Jericho untIs
his beard is grown. p"
But if he is qualifedland capa-
bic why should he be hindered
from lofty aspirations and the
chance to serve by arbitrary age
limits?
Some of the most notable and
useful men of the past centuries
were young men; and, by the
same token, many of the BRAIN
lest and best prepared men OF
our day are young men.
Capable young men under thir-
ty are holding positions OF i'm
portance and trust in all the
professional and BUSINESS inter
ests OF the whole world. In our
splendid army across the seas,
which IS giving such wonder
full account of itself, and adding
fame and lustre to the already
undylng glory of America, near
" all the majors, captain s and
lieutenants are young fellows
under thirty, some Of them just
in their majority, When they
come back home next year, and
should aspire to Office, shall we
say to them that we are willing
for men of their age to fight,
suffer, bleed and, if need be, die
for us but we can't let them
hold Office? We would be the
laughing stock of the world,
Many of the great states of the
Union have removed arbitrary
age limits to office holding; let
Mississippi, usually leader, do
so. Not in the interest OF any
one but as matter of right and
Justice toward every aspiring
young American.
1t is to be hoped that the fair
minded, conscientious voters Of
Mississippi will put the seal of
approval upon the amendment.
and also ask the next Legislature
to make possible the removal OF
all arbitrary age limits.

FAULTY BRAKE PILES
UP So CARS ON v. NJ.

Estimated damage OF more than
100000 was caused by the wreck Of
80 loaded coal cars on the Western
Maryland railway west OF Georges

when the section ran wild down the
grade and was derailed at the Gull

The culyert is filed with wreckage

Western Maryland tracks have been

Every car left the track, It is stated
that probably not more than dozen
of the cars are worth repairing, while
much of the coal will be lost. In de-

ASKS EDITORS FOR
HELPFUL CRITICISM
GOVERNOR coRNWELL FEARS UN-
DE7MINlNG EFFECT OF DE-
STRUCTlVE WAR COMMENT.

The editors Of West Virginia papers
were requested last night by Cover
nor Cornwell to refrain from all crit
icism which might have the EJECT of
undermining the confidence and
morale of The people during the war.
The Governor, speaking at the an
nual meeting OF the West Virginia
UaifH NEWSPAPER Association in Park.
eraburg, put the request in a practt
cal form by asking the editors to put
the prosecution OF the war above pol
itics in the coming state and con
gressional campaigns
He declared there is. no doubt that
some of the recent criticism in Con.
gross is justified and that perhaps
some of it is desirable as Congress
appropriated the money and therefore
has the right, to know how it is be-
ing expended. but there are two kinds
of criticism, constructive and de.
Ptructive," he declared. "Sdne of
the criticism in Congress- and much
of it in the press is destructive--d de-
struc i've of confidence and of the
morale of the people, which is just
as essential as morale in our army
and navy.
I appeal to you gentlemen of the
press to distinguish carefully between
these two kinds of criticism. Tear
down confidence an ddestroy the
morale of the people and you hamper
the Government; you make impossible
The success of future loans: you dry
up the sources from which money
comes for the Red Cross and all war
activities. When you do those things
you prolong the war, multiply the SUI
fering and You increase the number
Of casualties among the men in our
army"
Stating that the fall campaign will
bring out many who are more am
bitious than wise or patriotic with
consequent suffering to the people who
are furnishing the money and the
men WHO are now in the trenches,
or who must soon go there. the Gov.
ernor advised the editors to keep

cal agents AMI give aspirants to Of
