POLITICS ON THE HORIZON.

Next years politics is already com ing to the front, while the constitu- tional convention has been wrestling with the problem of spiking the long distance political guns. The conven- tion has endeavored to bust up the time-honored political machine by throwing a monkey-wrench into it's .vitals, prohibiting any man in of flee from succeeding himself or any body else after he has served four years.
 Of course there is another side to it, and not all the members of the convention are fully satisfied over the action of the majority. While there is a growing opposition to of ficers perpetuating themselves in of flee, there were strong arguments made on the floor of the convention against the tendency to deny to the people the right and privilege of electing to office any man whom they might desire, whether he hap pened to be in office or out; and that it is unjust to the men who are ambitious to succeed in this world, to say that they shall not aspire to other offices, after they have served faithfully in one.
 "The remedy is worse than the bite of the snake" is the way one of them put it in opposing the new principle which it is sought to write into the organic law of the state However, that is the way it is now written, and there appears to be nc

NEGROES SHOW PROPER SPIRIT,

It has occurred to the Independent that the white people of Newport and Jackson county may gain valuable inspiration, which should be acted up- on, from the splendid patriotic spirit that was so noticeable in Newport throughout Tuesday, when ninety selected negroes left for Camp Pike to enter military training.
 The early hours of the day saw ne- groes coming to Newport in automo- piles, in wagons, buggies and on horseback. These negroes came to say goodbye to relatives and friends, and the manifestation was wonder full display of patriotism, an honor of which the negroes who went to camp

have just cause to feel proud.

have just cause to feel proud.
 Several months ago when the first contingent of selected white men were sent away from Newport our citizens gave them some splendid en- tertainment, but this program was not perpetuated.
 The Independent does not discount the patriotism of our people. They are patriotic, and have answered ev- cry call that has been made upon them. But we do believe that more recognition should be given the drafted men as they leave the coun- ty, for they are leaving behind their families and friends to go forth and fight our battles.
 The Independent trusts it's sugges- tions will be acted upon and arrange ments made for program to be given in honor of the next contingent of selected men who leave here.

movement at the present time to- ward a reversal on the subject.
 The prohibition against an officer succeeding himself or becoming candidate for another office during the term of office, has been made to apply only to those who are elected after the new constitution is adopted.
 This opens up several interesting coniectures and circumstances in which the ifs" loom large. If the constitution is submitted at a special election before the general election in November, and if it is ratified by the people, then the officers who are elected in November will have been elected after tn adoption of the con- stitution annd will be barred. But if the constitution is submitted at the genneral election, for which there ap- pears to be growing sentiment, then the officers will not be elected after the adoption, but at the same time, and the prohibition would not apply.
 During the state convention there appeared above the surface some po- litical periscopes that seemed to indicate some interesting develop ments within the next 12 months. There was open talk about the prob- ability of Gov. Brough becoming candidate for the U. s. senate against Senator W. F. Kirby, al though this rumor was neither de- nied or confirmed by Governor Brough. Incidentally, it is held by many that the plank in the constitu- tion could not be made to apply to this office anyway, since the senate is itself the judge of the qualifica- tions of it's own members. However, that is one of the interesting possi- biltes of the future.
 And it has been an open secret among his friends for some time that T. J. Terrel, secretary of state, will be candidate for governor to suc- ceed Gov. Brough. He has been quietly laying his fences, and is ral- lying to his support some strong and influential supporters among the po- litical leaders of the state.
 Of course there will be other can didates. That is to be expected. With the term of office increased to four years and the salary raised sev- eral thousand dollars as it will be by the constitutional convention, there are likely to be several candidates. But Tom is not concerned about his opponents, and says he is going to win any way. He is not ready to an nounce his candidacy yet, in fact, he is not talking it around generally, and is not seeking general publicity of the fact But this little inside dope is just between the writer of these truthful chronicles and the reader.
 Tom Terrel is a coming political leader who will have to be reckoned with.

we review the result of our effort to

We have reason to feel pleased with
our efforts. This is entirely new work
for your reporter and he asks the
people as well as the editor to over
look our mistakes, but all errors that
have appeared have not been the re-
porter's fault, but believing in
boosters rather than knockers we
have refrained from calling the Of
fee force any pet names. We apprc-
ciate the way our people have re-
ceived us when we have been nosing
around trying to find out what is TAX
ing place in our city, also for the way
people have handed in news. We
want everyone to feel free to tele-
phone or hand in to our Office any
news that they may know, as it re-
quires a lot of news to supply a
daily paper.
The "a days that we have been re-
porter and handled the paper fo1
Newport we have sold over 1890
copies, and believe in the near fu-
ture we shall be able to handle zoe
copies a day. We are receiving
many orders to be delivered each
day. The price for this service is
so cents month. The paper ar
irives on the Air Line and failed only
once last month, when they came or
the mail train. Not a customer
failed to have his paper delivered
during the month We give ou1
paper boy credit for this We have
received some classified advertise
ments and are looking for many
more later.
