winning the war. If you are

for more laborers. They are

busy, get busy; and get busy at
something useful to the govern

Our President and the AutOcrat

There are those who object to
placing so much power in the
hands of one man as is placed in
those of the President of the
United States. This might be
we'll if the power were to be
permanent or if the power were
really given the man in the
White House.
There is a vast difference be-
tween the unlimited power ex-
erclsed by an elected president
md that exercised by an auth
:ratic ruler. A president holds
lis power by gift Of the people
md exercises that power sup
)osidly for the good of the
Governed and should he not do
he can be impeached; and, at
)est, he can be turned out at the
next election. With the autocrat
the power is inherent and is eX-
ercised by his own right and in
his own interest with such bene-
fits to his subjects as may accrue
by reason Of the policy of the
government acting for itself.

The result of the election last
week is subject tc many inter
pretations, or at any rate there
are about as many opinions as
there are people who express
opinions. Some view the defeat
of Senator Vardaman as an end
of fractional politics in Mississip-
pi while others view it as a mere
matter of er-confidence in his
followers and seem to think that
the Senator will come back. +"
Whatever may be the signifi-
canoe with referance to purely
state matters, there no longer
remains doubt concerning the
attitude of Mississippi towarcs
