Candidate Johnston at Aberdeen

Hon. Oscar Johnston, who is as
piring to become governor of Mis-
sissippi spoke to possibly 100 peo-
pie here Monday. The audience
was composed of citizens and Wis
itOrs who are in the city attending
the federal court.
Mr.. Johnston is forceful and
practiced speaker, having acquired
considerable of volubility from de-
batting much as lawyer and as n
representative in the lower house
through several sessions of the leg
| islature. His speech was well re-
ceived. His platform was clearly
enunciated as opposed to the present
taxing system as now in operation
in the state. Mr.. Johnston at
tackled the system. when in fact the
machinery that enforces the system
is the only offending thing that is
vulnerable.
The basic principle upon which,
the Mississippi taxing system is
founded assumes that all property
should be justly assessed at its true
value so as to make the tax burden
equal upon all property and pre-
clude the existence of tax dodgers.
The laws that enforce the system
as now operated. need perfecting
both as to state and county boards,
but the system itself is righteous
if equitably adjusted and executed.
Mr.. Johnston's speech was prac-
tically the same that he has made
at other places. and which have
been published in numerous news
papers.
Mr.. Johnston is a pleasant, cour-
teous and capable gentleman, and
will get a respectable vote in the
state. but the political associations
he has had in the past. in the opin-
ion of great many people, preclude
the possibility of his ever attaining
the goal of his ambition.
Among these associations. looms
his record in the secret caucus legis-
lature of 1910. in which the people
were deprived of their choice of
United States Senator. 1t will be
argued that this wrong was perpe-
trated nearly a decade of years in
the past and should be forgotten.
So was the wrong which Mcbeth
did Banquo perpetrated in the past,
but BanQuo's ghost persisted in re-
the wrong-doer of his aw-
full deed until in conscience stricken |
agony he cried out:
Avaunt! and quit my sight"
So will the secret caucus ghost |
to haunt the politicians
that contrived it. until they like
Mcbeth will also exclaim:
Ayaunt and quit my sight!
Let the earth hide thee!" But
Banquo's ghost would not down and,
the ghost of the infamous secret
caucus will continue to rise to haunt
torment its perpetrators.

In her prison cell Miss Short
was given a machine, and ordered
to make 1000 buttons a week.
When she found the buttons were
to be stamped made in England
she refused to do the work. The
governor OF the prison told her it
was an old mark, and that the
buttons we're not going into COM

soldiers. She retorted, 81 am

Hair Torn Out
One OF The most terrible of Miss
Shorts stories was that when there
were 40 combings from her hair
which had to be saved and were
taken away every Monday-the
matron helped herself forcibly by
tearing the hair from her head,
and the same treatment was given
to the other women. The hair
was wanted for making ropes and
things. One day she saw some
priosonets being inoculated. One
had Union Jack tattooed on his
arm, and when the doctor saw it

Some Simple Ideas Have

Men have learned to fly and to see

man has ever made an uHSinkable
ship, for instance. The nearest ap-
proach is the best type of l1feboat,

the fate of the Titanic when she col

IUSitania, when she was torpedoed,
although they were provided with all
the latest safeguards, proves that the
unsuitable ship is still to be built.
Similarly, no man has ever sue
ceeded in erecting a fire-proof build

nearest to this much desired end, but
the fate of some of the New York
skyscrapers proves that even this
material is not immune. If a building

At an early age, Eugene Pullen was
an express driver. He handled rail-
road baggage. One day after deliv-
ering a heavy trunk on an upper
floor he felt a pain in the right
groin. The suffering increased ana
IL was not long before the young
man noticed a swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. An
surgeons know that hernia operations
with anaesthetics. ETC., are danger

it is a well-established fact that

Like most others Mr. Pullen de-
clined to take the risk Of an opera
ton; the expense and loss of time
had to be considered, too Hoping
he might get a little better encour-
agement, he went to another physi-s
clan who, to his sorrow. gave him
even less hope. 1t was pointed out
to the young man that unless the
rupture were perfectly held all the
time or the surgeons knife success
iully used, he might expect an ir4
crease or doubling in the rupture
with further complications, or the
dreaded strangulated hernia, which
kills so many ruptured people. %

RELIED to give up his express bust
ness. The hard tasks Of ordinary
men were forbidden him. He became
an insurance agent, in which posi-
ton he did not need to do bodily
work.
For six years Mr.. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard,
elastic, etc, with never any content
ment. One day his mother told him,
something she had just found out. 1t
was, a simple and easy thing for him
to do. He lost no time.
