TURN ABOUT FAIR PLAY.

One of the trade publications has
the following to say
"A certain printer has t1otified the
merchants in his town that he will
shortly be in need of shirt, a pair
of shoes and hat. He asks that each
merchant furnish him estimates as
follows:
zone shirt with and without col
lar; also in one, two and three col
ors. Estimate each way.
"One pair of shoes. Estimate for
two colors, black or brown. Also
give prices, whether high or Oxford
and laced or buttoned.
Zone hat soft or derby OBSTINATE
for black, brown, green and grey,
with and without band, size to be
determined later.)
"This printer adds that he is about
to place a large order in the near
future, and will give special con-
sideration to the merchant who
makes him reasonable price on this
small initial order"
Well, why wasn't turn about fair
play? How many times is the print
er asked to figure just such nonsense. !.
There is just about as much reason
in one as the other.-Newton Record.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

The Mexican situation Is being
closely watched by both the legisla-
tive and executive branches OF our
government.
On the Senate Floor, Senator Fall,
Republican, New Mexico. reiterated
previous statements that among Mex
leans killed by American soldiers in
repulsing raids across the border
during the past few months were OF
Rcers and men in the uniform OF the
Mexican federal army. He read
telegram giving the names of some
Of the Carranza officers and men kill
cd by the Americans.
Senator Fall said he repeated his
statements because Brigadier Gener-
al James B. Erwin, commanding the
border patrol. had been quoted in an
Associated Press dispatch from Ell
Paso as saying that no bodies wear
ing Carranza uniforms had been
found.
II desire to reiterate," declared
the senator, "that within the last
several months that upon either sew
en- or eight occasions troopers of the
Seventh Cavalry pursued Mexicans
over the border and upon six or sew
en- occasions recovered stolen proper
ty. / also desire to reiterate that
Carranza soldiers and officers were
killed, not only on the Mexican side
but on the United States side as
WE'LL"
Senator Fall said he made this
statement to show how absolutely
unfair the news is as 1t comes from
the Associated Press with reference
to this" and added that he would
like to have an investigation made
to establish the information on
which General Erwin knew the bull
let's fred across the border recently
during the Villa attack on Juarez,
came from the Villistas and not the
Carranzistas.

How "The Truth" is Told by Enc.
mies-The Trusts Seek Collins
DownfalI.

The Clarion-Ledger of the % CO.
pied the following from the Chicago
Evening Post with comment we re-
produce following the quotation
which is as follows:-
mississippi oftenest gets into the
public prints through the burning OF
a negro. This time, however, she
changes her bid for fame. Her At
torney General is under bond pend
ing his trial for violating the migra-
tory bird treaty act. Seventy-six
ducks, shot out of season, were found
in his hunting lodge. When the
fountainhead of Law is thus muddied,
is 1t surprising that the stream
which flows from II Is touled with
bestial crimes7',
AS there is not one word of truth
in the above, it is undoubtedly Ii
belous, and the paper printing 1t
should be held responsible.
Ross Collins has no time to hunt
even had he the disposition. He has
no hunting lodge, and those who
have known him longest say that he
never shot a duck in his life; that
he knows nothing whatever of fire.
arms, and has never gone on a hunt;
and certain 1t is that he was never
indicted for violation of game law.
The Evening Post is published in
the home of the meat trust, to which
Ross Collins has devoted some little
of his attention. He has gone after
trusts of many kinds, and has natur-
ally incurred the enmity of the
gang; but that does not excuse them
for openly lying about him, the a
bove being a sample of the malicious
lies the trusts have sent abroad re-
garding the Attorney General, who
has done more than any other off,
cial to force the trusts to comply
with the law; has forced them into
courts many times, and compelled
them to disgorge.
The idea of Ross Collins having a
hunting preserve, and being arrested
for violating the game laws, as
charged by the meat packers organ,
the Chicago Evening Post, is too alb
surd for anything. The meat trust
is never above suspicion, and is ex-
pected to do everything to save its
bacon, but it ought not to lie upon
Mississippi's Attorney General for
doing his duty, prosecuting all trusts
right and left, that came under his
observation.

CONCEDED TEACHERS
MUST GET MORE PAY
Election August IL in Forrest
Equal in Importance To
Primary.

An election will be held August
IL in Forrest county that will really
equal in Importance the State and
county primary to be held August s.
The election on August IL is to de-
eide whether the county will add
one mill to its taxation in order to
pay the teachers better salaries and
In some instances to procure better
teachers, who can only be had at
salaries somewhat near what they
can make in other lines of endeavor.
Mr.. A. L. Conn has been appointed
chairman of the Better Schools Cam
paign by the Mississippi Teachers
Association, according to announce
ment of F. D. Mellen. of Jackson, di-
rector of the campaign. Mr.. Conn is
going to enter actively into this cam
paign and he calls on all the people
interested in. the education of their
children and their neighbors' chil-
dren ii join them.
CARD FROM MR.. CONN.
The following address to the peo-
pie of Forrest county has been is
sued by Mr.. Conn:
To the parents and other citizens Of
Forrest county:
This letter warns you that you
naust act now in order that your
children may go to school next win
ter. Our present school funds are
far too small to maintain our schools
and to retain teachers. We must act
NOW to keep our schools going.
Generally speaking, our school
property is deteriorating. Economic
pressure is forcing our strong teach
ers out of the school room into the
professions and Industries.
The shortage of teachers is alarm
ing. In Carroll county, according to
Superintendent D. D. Fullilove, it ex-
ceeds fifty per cent. In Smith coun-
ty, it is marked. In the state as a
whole, it doubtless exceeds 400 and
possibly 1900.
Only those counties that pay sub
stantial salaries can secure adequate
teachers. To make sure of good
schools, the people of Neshoba coun-
ty recently raised their levy from 1
n to 5 mills. The citizens Of Warren
county propose to have schools for
their children; to secure teachers
they are going to pay minimum of
$4,000 a month for nine months.
You and l can secure teachers only
by offering fair, self-respecting sal
aries. We can provide schools for
our children only by doing two
things:
/. BY providing additional coun-
ty municipal leYies for schools.
2. BY putting into office super
visors, county superintendent, leg
islators, lieutenant governor and a
governor who will not only promise
but actually work for the school in
terests of our children.
We should urge every candidate
to express himself at once; after the
election is too late.
Earnestly yours,
A. L. CONN,
Chairman of County Committee on
Data Schools.
