II lent Worth While.

The Port Gibson Reveille wants
the legislature to also impeach
Governor Bilbo.
That wouldn't be worth while.
Such a proceeding would mere
ly cinch his election to Congress
in the Sixth District.
Seven years ago, while he was
in the Senate, Bilbo stood before
that body, self-accused of &C
cepting a bride of $645. The
Senate voted to expel him, and
fell short of the required MAORI
ty by just one vote.
On this record Bilbo went be-
fore the people and was elected
Lieutenant. Governor by an over
|helming majority.
While serving in this office
Bilbo was charged by the Gov
,rnor of the State with having
.onspired in a bribery scheme to
out a new county bill through the
legislature. He was indicted by
he Warren county grand jury,
md tried and acquitted by a
nand-picked jury.
On this record Bilbo again went
before the people and was elect
ed Governor, defeating three
strong opponents in the first pri-
mary.
Of what avail, therefore, would
it be to bring fresh charges
against the stormy petrol of Mis-
sissippi politics?
Since he seems to be immune
against charges, it would be ex-
tremely foolish to again give him
the opportunity of going before
the people in the role of a mar
tyr.
Insofar as The News is con-
cerned. we have decided to leave
Bilbo's fate in the hands of the
Lord, hoping and believing that
some day the Great Ruler will
deign to take some notice of po-
litical affairs in Mississippi

he Character Of Washington.

We are met to testify our re-
gard for him whose name Is int
mately blended with whatever
belongs most essential to the
prosperity. the liberty, the free
institutions, and the renown Of
our country. That name was Of
power TO rally a nation in the
hour Of thick thronging public
disaster and calamities; that name
shone, amid the storm of war, a
beacon light to cheer and guide
the country's friends; it famed,
too, like a meteor to repeal her
foes. That name, in the days of
peace, was a loadstone, attract
ing to itself a whole peoples con-
hdence, a whole peoples love
and the whole worlds respect.
That name, descending with all
time, spreading over the whole
earth, and uttered in all the Ian
guages belonging to the tribes
and races of men, will forever be
pronounced with affectionate
gratitude by every one in whose
breast there shall arise an aspira-
ton for human rights and human
liberty. - By Daniel Webster.

IT'S GOING TO CLEAR.

When plow-time calls you out of doors
10 welcome back returning spring,
Don't fuss and fret because it pours
And mud DER soggy fields is king.
Look up, not down, to find your cheer;
It's going to clear-yes-going to clear.
The red June rose must have the rain
To bloom and glow in fashion sweet;
June love, true love, needs stand the pain
10 make its ecstasy complete.
So trust, be brave, when doubts appear.
It's going to clear-yes-going to clear.
1t matters not how we'll we plan,
How straight the path, how hard the
strife;
Regrets will storm the truest nan
10 shower tears in closing life.
But don't be sad since autumn's here.
It's going to clear-yes-going to clear.
The blasts of age we doubly dread;
When pills won't cure the doctor winks
And dark forebodings fill the head.
Why try to dodge the torturing kinks?
Rejoice! Glad tidings soon you'll hear,
AT last it's clear = forever clear"
DIR. John Philip Erwin.

grazing and farming land remain to be utilized; deposits of oil have not been tapped or systematically pros pected; scarcely any water power has been harnessed for manufacturing, and on every hand and in every sec
 tiOn lie dormant vast riches which tax the imagination, awaiting pioneer capi- tai and enterprise and remedial legisla- tion. A few years ago Alaska was re- mote and practically inaccessible, in
 habited by a few rowing prospectors and trappers. No other frontier in Uncle Sam's domain has experienced such rapid and permanent develop ment. The old days of gambling quick ly passed and the whole nation sat up and took notice when the territory voted itself dry year ago. Boys born in Alaska are now serving their coun- try at the front, and Alaska has given more liberally per population for every patriotic movement than any other community,-Juneau Em- pire.

Work of Cupid.

The valentine habit is growing a bit cobwebby. In these feverish times of efficiency and speed if Romeo loves maid he grabs her by the shoulder, throws her into a deep-breathing buzz wagon and breaks the road limit to the local Grena Green. He doesn't sit in a little back room and blush to himself as he puts her address to an envelope containing a dainty lace-curtained DOT trayal of Cupid shooting an arrow into a little pink heart. The blus was over his own effrontery and also over the fact that Cupid had very little on save his quiveE and bath towel.
 But what used to be called modesty is now listed as prudishness. The average maid of today doesn't blink at flock of Cupids, Psyches, Venuses or Dianas. She can mingle on equal terms with the undressed parade at the seaside and she has her picture in the pink pages showing nothing much but her legs and teeth. She gossips about eugenics and birth control much as the girl of old did about Little 1 Goldenlocks and the three bears. If sweetheart should send her a little box-couch effect made of lace paper, hearts and pink roses she would yawn him off the premises.
 So it is that the old-style valentine is pretty much numbered with the slain. The very young, the very old the very modest and the quaintly TO mantle, mayAndulge, but not your lat ter day lovers The day of St. Valen tine may be remembered by gifts tt sweethearts, but they are more apt tt
