Value of a High School Education

Value of a High School Education
 A high school education proves valuable in many ways.
 Every year our high schools add to the worlds workers, small army of young people who have been es- pecially fitted for service. These students have had the benefits of research and of thinking out things for themselves. The students have gained this at public expense. They have been helped and given many opportunities in the high schools and now much will be required of them.
 A high school education Is shown in nearly all business places. The stenographer, who never stopped to see whether it made sense or not, "did not have a high school educa- tion. She may think that she Is saw ing time by rushing on but that is the wrong place to save time. This is made manifest to students before leaving high school.
 Most of the girls of today, that are becoming useful in government work, have had high school edu- cation. Marie Damn, although she is but twenty-one years of age, Is the third finger-print expert in the United States. She acquired much of her ability at high school and she has been given position in the iden- tifcation department of the United States Navy.
 Students, who are fitting them selves for broader work, often think that there is nothing to do at high school but to "get through" in the easiest way possible; but doing this means disappointment because one can never make up in the future for today's loss.
 The diploma which is given in high schools at graduation, is worth just as much as has been put.into it. To the student who has earned it, 1t represents hard work and self-denial, and she has right to be proud of it. The diploma is written in her life and it leaves record which can never be erased.

Armaqcddru.

Armageddon, mentioned in Revela- ton 10 :16, was the plain of Esdraelon, the scene of Israelltish victories, and hence the term is used to signify the scene of a momentous test of any kind, especially of decisive battle. It, was used by the Progressive na- tional convention in 1912. and has been frequently used in connection with the war.

CITIZENS WANT KILLING
PRoBED.
Natchez VENTS An Investigation
Made Of the Shooting Of Ne
gro by a Policeman.

Natchez, Miss, Aug. 27.-At a
meeting of a citizens committee,
composed of business men of the city
and county held here late today. a
resolution was passed declaring that
the circumstances surrounding the
killing of Leon Landers, negro. by
Lee Worley, member of the local
police force Saturday night should
be fully Investigated.
Worley was exonerated by a cor
oner's jury, but was later arrested
on charge of manslaughter on an
affidavit of County Prosecutor Will
mer Shields. The charge has been
made by attorneys representing the
negro's relatives that he was shot in
the back. Worley claimed that he
fired when the negro took his club.
Shortly before his arrest Worley
resigned as member of the police
force. He is an ex-soldier and was
discharged from service short while
since.

WHY JOHNSTON was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SUGGESTIONS BY
JOHNSTON SUPPORTERS LONGNos ACTION CONDEMNED

Ishould prove himself such poor los
Ter. They say that he was not game
and not the man they thought shim.
They praise Collins for his stand in
the game Of politics, but condemn
Longino. Every defeated candidate
must have some excuse for being de-
feated of course.
From the expressions that we have
heard however. 1t appears that at
least three things conspired against
Johnston to defeat him. These were
the disaffection caused in the Lon
gino ranks by the stand OF their
chieftain. the charge made that john
ston had not supported labor organi-
zations in their efforts to secure leg
islation, and the stand taken by
Johnston on the State Tax Commits
sion.
Other things OF course. had their
influence, but in the main, the three
above specified causes, are the most
important in contributing to the de-
feat of the Coahoma County states
man, in our opinion. No doubt Ross
Collins has made many friends in the
State by his quiet submission to the
will Of the majority. and he will un-
doubtedly be strong man, should
he decide to make the race four years
hence.
In justice to Ex-Governor Longino
be 1t said, that two days before the
election he came out in a statement
saying he knew nothing of the action
of his relatives until their statement
was published and had become part
of the political history Of the most
recent gubernatorial campaign.

PrOateers, Beware.

Think twice before indulging In
any form of profiteering. Also watch
your step in entering combinations
which may be adjudged of question
able legality. The public are be-
coming bitter against exorbitant pri-
ces charged for many necessaries.
and Washington is again sharpening
its knife to probe trusts and other
combinations. The Jail sentence i'm
posed upon q number of schemers
who sought to monopolize the price
OF ish on the Atlantic coast has e.
voked widespread applause and
should cause others treading on dan
gerous ground to withdraw hastily.
It looks, too, as II public clamor viii
compel the Washington authorities
to sell to domestic buyers the enor-
nous quantities Of surplus foodstuffs
accumulated for war purposes. There
Is a noticeable trend toward the feel
Ing that business has been favored at
the expense of the consumer who has
been struggling against crushing
prices. s.-Forbes Magazine.

THE GORDIAN KNOT

Civilization has become on i'm
mense ENHANCEMENT, a great Gordian
knot, in which ten thousand con-
fiicting interests have got themselves
tied up into complication wich the
fingers Of human wisdom can not
unravel. We are all living in a
deeply entangied life, and ] believe
a moment is coming when the sense
of ENHANCEMENT viii throw us back
on. the great simplicities and on the
mother truths, and we shall ind sal
vation in them and in them alone.
see no hope for these things save in
that sword of the spirit which is the
word of God. There is knot to be
cut through; and an elemental force
is demanded to deal the sundering
stroke.
II do not know how any man can
look upon the world in which we are
now living without instantly coming
to the conclusion that it stands in
need of some masterful saving power.
1t Is rescue that is needed, rather
than mere reform. There has been
a shipwreck, a catastrophe; things
have got out Of hand; and there is
a state Of horrible confusion.
I'VE see men and Churches armins
themselves with catchwords instead
Of flaming swords; we see them re-
sorting to sterile formulas, and play
ing with great distractions, which
turn to dust and ashes when they
are confronted with these tremen-
dous things. Where is the power
that can deal with them? Where is
the faith that can overcome them ?
what is it that can reconcile these
fell antagonisms? What is it that
can bring this tragedy to a triumph
ant conclusion? What is it that can
break the power Of sin? What is il
that can liberate US from these en-
tanglements? What is 1t that can
breathe the hope of immortality in
to a world where death hath domin-
ion over everything that draws the
breath Of life?"
The Semi-weekly leader., 1919-08-30

Lee M. Russell of Lafayette coun-
ty. will be inducted into the office Of
Governor of the State Of Mississippi
in January 1920. The official re-
turns from the eighty two counties
OF the state show that he has de-
feated his opponent. Oscar Johnston,
by over 1000 votes. The Johnston
supporters are now trying to figure
Il all out.
The question with them is, why
was Johnston defeated, and some
very pertinent suggestions have been
advanced, the most plausible one Of
which seems to be the action of Elk
Governor Longino in deserting the
cause after he had been defeated
for the nomination in the first pri-
mary. It can be heard upon all sides
that II Longino had remained true
TO the coIors and had acted as Collins
did, Russell's chances for election
would have been minimized. The
disaffection created in the ranks of
the opposition to Russell BIZ Longi-
nos stand after it had become certain
he had lost the nomination, no doubt
gave Russell many votes that he
would not have received, had Longi-
nos stand been otherwise.
In some instances the Johnston
men do not particularly blame Lon
gino for his stand. after Johnston
had made the fight ON him that was
waged from the beginning of Gov.
Longino's entrance into the cam
paign, but others do blame him and
are very bitter in their expressions.
They express surprise that Longino
