WHY IT SHOULD BE JOHNSTON.

We feel that Mississippi should congratulate herself that her
people are refusing to get wrought up oyer the race for Govern
or. 1t is apparent that the public mind feels that it has been
illusions as to those who have tried to play upon their willing
ness to trust others and their prejudices while they have been
thinking about their daily affairs. Last years election showed
that the public mind Of Mississippi had undergone a change.
1T showed that demagogery was to be put In the background
and that the people of Mississippi had made up their minds TO
give those a back seat who were not actively and aggresslYely
behind their country during the war. Last years election
showed that the people OF Mississippi had tired OF old talk, OF
words. of promises, and that they wanted men whose lives and
character squared with the demands of the hour.
The lines of the present contest show that the fragments OF
the old forces that were routed horse, foot and dragon last
year, are trying to rally behind the Lieutenant Governor, who
is well known as an active lieutenant of the agencies trying to
thwart the purposes of the National Government in that hour.
1t therefore follows that the issue must be, i'll some degree at
least, fought over again. Who, then, is the proper one to carry
the banner of true Democracy, of true Americanlsm, OF honest
government and of fair and candid dealing with the public?
Our answer is Lieutenant Oscar Johnston, and we say this with
out any disparagement Of the political integrity and life Of
former Gov. LonginO and Attorney General Ross Collins.
Gen. Collins has made good as Attorney General, and per-
sonally we entertain a warm regard for him, but he made a
fatal mistake last year in not coming out openly for the prose
cution of the war and for the support Of the COMMANDMENTS
Chief of the Army and Navy. 1t was understood that Gen.
Collins was basking somewhat in the perimeter of the shade
of the then Junior Senator from Mississippi. AS we understand
some of Gen. Collins former political admirers have fallen out
with him because he was big enough, and had good sense
friendly relations with many of the friends of the former Gov

The voters do not have to go beyond the confines OF Grenada
county to find proof ample and sufficient for finding the State
Tax Commission guilty as charged in the indictment. The idea
of men pretending to "equalize" taxes allowing a property that
can be sold for cash at the purchase price any day, to be assess
ed at &c 13 per cent Of its value, when it sold for over $780,
900. This is but one of the many sins OF omission and commits

Who said ii was going to rain all summer? WeI whoever did say such a thing was mistaken. for the past two days will bear witness that they W"re wrong, as il didn't rain a drop l. can safely be said however, that those two days were practically the only ones when it did not rain. but it IS to be hoped that ther" will be many more before Jack Frost finally gets his wintry grip on the country.
 The good weathe' is being greeted with great joy by all lovers of the big outdoors residing in Fairbanks. II means that they can now go on long trips into the surrounding country to favorite haunts in the woods without loading themselves down with wet weather prcventatiyes. Many ol them, such as are not taking the trip to Nonana will be in the woods today Some will go by auto to the "oats field" as Bill Terrills farm on the trail to the coast is now called. for days fishing. Others will go out as far as Munson's or thru to Birch Lake fofl' the day Still others will go by launch up the Big Cinema, whiln at least one party will spend the day on Clear creek A few, not having fiji nds with autos or launches, and not owning such things themselves will take their outing on "shanks mare"
 The mogquitos usually make trips into the woods at this time of the year anything but a pleasure unless the picnickers are prepared to tigh; thr pest This y ar, however, there n but few mosquitoes which makes it certain that all who liks such pas ti1rc can enjoy themselves in the woods providing the weather goddess continues to smile.

 The hangar will be constructed at Lakehurst, New Jersey, and work on it will be started within the next few weeks.

 In o!dering this investigation, Gov ernor Cox issued a statement in which he says: "The prices of food stuffs, instead of being high, as they now are, should be at low levels and l believe it devolves upon the state government to investigate the reason for these eXorbitant prices.
 The governor expressed his opin- ion that the prices are artlflclally inflated and the inquiry to be con ducted will result in lowering the cost of many necessities.
