SOME FLIMSY LYING.

The Russell campaign committee
has issued circulars announcing Rus
selLs speaking engagement today in
Tlshomingo county, and setting forth
what purports to have been the vote
in the first primary.
Notwithstanding that these circu-
lars We're printed after the meeting of
the Democratic State executive com
mittee Wednesday, showing that Rus
sell had plurality of a little more
than 5000, the circulars claim that
he led the ticket bq 11,743.
Just what advantage the Russell
propagandists imagine they can gain
by this fiimsy deceit is impossible to
conjecture: Even the school children
OF Mississippi now know the result of
the first primary.
However, cheap lying has been char
acteristic of that gang since the day
of its birth.-Jackson News.

LEES MORAL COURAGE.

Soon after the fall of the Confed-
eracy there occurred throughout the
South an attempt, marked by much
heated controversy, to fix the blame
for the loss of the battle of Gettys-
burg. Many writer's claimed that this
critical struggle, and with it the war,
would have been won had it not been
for the disobedience and hardness of
Genera Longstreet. In order to set
tie the matter, repeated appeals were
made to General Lee for some state
ment on the subject. For long time
these efforts were in vain. Lee would
say nothing. Finally, however, he
broke his silence with just one SEN
tence. 81 alone am to blame"
What a contrast between the chief
figure of the lost cause in America
and the fallen leader of the lost
Deutschtum. How much more digni-
fled would Wilhelm appear before the
world if he, instead of shifting the re-
sponsibility 70 rthe great war upon
his ministers, his generals, upon Rus
sia, upon everyone save himself, would
repeat the words of the great Aneri-
can: 81 alone am to blame"-New
York Evening Sun.

CHIPS AND WHETSTONES.

is THERE A REMEDY?

Now and again an honest and a
brave man who aims at better things
appears in politics. In the event that
fortune favors him and he attains
high station, he finds himself sur
rounded and thwarted by men less up
right, less able and less courageous,
who, however, capable of discovering
right from wrong and willing to do
their duty, yet wear the party collar,
owe fealty to the party machine, are
sometimes the very slaves of the par
ty boss. In the larger towns we hear
of the city hall ring; out in the coun-
ties, of the courthouse ring. We rare
" anywhere encounter clean, respon-
sible administration and pure, disin-
terested, patriotic public service.
The taxpayers are robbed before
their eyes daily and at MONDAY. The
evil grows greater as we near the CEN
ters of population. But there is
scarcely a village or a hamlet where
graft does not grow like weeds, the
voters as gulible and helpless as the
Infatuated victims of bunko tricks in
genously contri7ed by professional
crooks to separate the fool and his
money. Is self-government failure?
We would not have the votaries of
despotism, Of the rule Of the aristO-
crat, the saber RATHER and the right
divine of kings tell US SO; albeit, we
are ready enough to concede the i'm
projections of universal suffrage, too
often committing affairs of pith and
moment, even of life and death, to the
arbitrament of the mob, and at all
times costing more in actual cash
than royal establishments, crowns and
ScepterS.
The quadrennial period in American
politics, set apart and dedicated to the
election of presidents, multiplies and
magnifies these evil features in an
otherwise admirable system of gov
eminent. Tha THE whipersnappers of
the vicinage should indulge their pro-
pensities comes in the order of their
nature But the party leaders are not
far behind them. Each side construes
every occurrence as assuring it GER
tain victory. Take, for example, the
latest state election anywhere. 1t fore
told nothing. 1t threw no light upon
events. It leaves the outlook as hazy
as before. Yet the managers of either
party affect to be equally confident
that it presages the triumph of their
ticket in the next national election.
The wonder is that so many of the
voters will believe and be influenced
by such transparent subterfuge and
contradictory claims.
Is there any remedy for all this? l
much fear tina There is not. All gov
eminent is relative and illogical, i'm
possible of perfection. 1t is as man
is good, bad and Indifferent; which is
bu tanother way of saying we live in
a world of sin, disease and death. We
prefer republicanism, But despotism
would not be SO demurrable with a
wise, benefcent despot.-Henry Wat
terson, in the Saturday Evening Post.

THE NEED OF THE AGED AND
THE DUTY OF THE YOUNG.

OF the many things that the peo-
pie OF Mississippi have bee masked to
do, | know there is not more worthy
cause than the campaign now on to
raise funds to build home for the old
men of Mississippi.

raising the money is so easy. until we

THE FORD VERDICT.

We think the mob of unlocking
Americans would have been as out
ragged by verdict for the defendant
as by a substantial verdict for the
plaintiff. Strict definitions had little
to do with the case. Henry Ford in
sisted upon his day in court, and he
got it. He proved fairly clearly that
he had not advocated anarchy in the
ordinary, everyday use of the term.
But he also proved under eross-eXam-
nation what very sad excuse in the
way of knowledge or Judgment Or in
formation he had for dipping into pub
lie affairs at all. In gaining six cents
he lost goodness knows what colossal
sums of respect and admiration on
the part of the American peole.-New

WORK RAPIDLY PUSHED
 ON LYMAN DAM.

Preliminary work on the Lyman Dam is almost completed. With in the next few weeks the real work on the dam will commence. It is expected that by the 18th of June it will be high enough so that there will be no trouble about getting water out for the coming irrigation season. At the present time there are employed at the dam 125 men and about seventy teams and they are using every effort to get more.
 The Lyman dam project is the second largest irrigation proposi- tion in the state, taking in over 15.000 acres. Alfalfa, grain and fruits can be raised there in abun- dance, and it is needless to say that with the dam completed and plenty of water, St. Johns will be one of the garden spots of the southwest.
