The Constitution of the United
States begins, I'VE the people,.
1t will be noted that this is a
pact with the whole citizenship.
So with the states and munich
palities. Under our scheme of
government every constitution,
charter, statuate. and ordinance
is supposed to be founded on the
will of the majority of the citi-
zens composing the particular
territory where the measure is
to be effective. Not a single
officer holds his place except
through this same will either
directly or indirectly expressed
through vote for the officer or
some other with the power to act
for the people. And every Off
Ger is supposed to have certain
special defined duties to perform
and has no discretion except
within limits specifically men
toned. To insure the perfor-
nance of these duties it is pro-
vided that every officer shall be
sworn in" and that in taking
the oath he will uphold the con-
stitution and laws from the
United States down to the duties
he is to assume. Such is our
scheme of government and the
obligations of those who are set
to execute the laws as trustee
or the people. But do we al
ways get this kind of Admins
tration? Is it not a fact that
men are sometimes in official
positions who regard the offices
as private snaps for the reward
of friends and the assistance of
those with whom they are
intimate? Instances are on
record where men holding office
have been indicted and turned
out for both malfeasance and
misfeasance in Office, and we
have a suspicion that not nearly
all such acts have brought forth
the penalties in such cases made
and provided. And we give it
as our opinion that not nearly sc
many people would object to
paying taxes were it not for the
craft ard o,rood lint &c 1crrc+iMps

Hon. John. 7. FriarsOn.

Not a very great interest is
being taken in the race for
Lieut.. Governor in most selections,
as is usally the case; but in the
present race, Okolona and
Chickasaw County is specially
interested in the election of
Hon. John T. Friarson, of Col
umbus.
Mr. Friarson is a native of this
city, having been born here
while his father was Superin-
tendent of the city schools.
Moving with his father to Pom
totoc where he grew to manhood,
he returned to this city, and for
two years, was himself, Superin-
tendent Of the schools, making
one of the best.
Later he was admitted to the
bar and has come to be recog-
nized as one of our best lawyers
and statesmen. Qualified in
character, education, and a
knowledge of the States affairs,
the voters will make no mistake
in electing him to the office he
seeks or any other he might
seek.

SCHOOLGIRLS OF LONG AGO
Ancient Tablets Show That Children
of Past Ages. Studied Much as
Do Those of Today.

Professor Langdon of Oxford, Eng,
has discovered that one group of the
famous Nippur tablets stored at the
University of Pennsylvania are in re-
atty the oldest schoolbooks known to
exist. They show, says the Christian
Herald, that the children of the an
clients learned much that the boys and
girls of today have to study.
According to these tablets the chill
dren of 1920 years ago were taught
arithmetic, geography, history and
grammar just like the children of to-
day.
The multiplication tables are re-
markably distinct, and in plain num-
erals show the incontrovertible fact
that three times one are three and five
times one are five.
On one tablet the school boy has
been given n lesson in phonetic signs
corresponding to the shorthand Of mod
ern times. The Sumerians, the au-
tbors of these tablets, also invented
the use of writing syllables and COM
hining them into words, being the first
step toward the alphabet.

one Strange Result of War.

Strange. unknown flowers are
springing up in shell holes and dug
outs over the SCARED surface of No
Mans land. and many are the conjec-
lures concerning the strange phenom-
enon.
Botanists who have studied the
strange plants have come to the con-
ciusion that they have sprung from
seeds buried in the earth for many
decades. A well-known London botan-
list in recent discussion said:
at is known that seeds have been
buried for upwards of 60 years with
out losing their power of termination.
Seeds of corn and wheat buried with
Egyptian mummies thousands of years
ago have been planted out in the Goth
century and have terminated in the
ordinary way. It is quite possible
that strange Towering plants-that is,
strange to the local inhabitants-are
now Towering in the French battle
fields. The heavy shell fire which has
torn up the earth may have created
conditions for their growth after lying
dormant so long"

EACH AGE HAS ADVANTAGE
Hard to Tell Which, From Childhood
to the End, May Be Called
the "Best."

Which is the best age? Are we to
believe the professor who tells us that
a mans best work is done before he Is
forty, or Robert Browning, who exalts
old age and cries, Grown old along
with me-the best is yet to bew
Childhood, remarks writer in Lon
don Answers, has magic and mys-
terry which can never be regained. Out
of its Imagination child shapes its
own world and creates its own de-
lights in life.
Youth is the time when we find our
greatest physical expression. Our
ideals take form and we are neither
fettered by failures nor floilt by. sue
cess. Normal youth believes it can
conquer all obstacles and achieve all
ends.
Maturity knows better. The man OF
forty is balanced by experience, and
while his mental faculties should have
reached their hi hest point of develop
ment, physically he is not back num-
Der.
And what of Browning's old age2 Is
the best yet to be? Perhaps. The man
who has been a failure is near the end
of his earthly troubles, and the man
who has succeeded awaits with sense
of fulfillment, the next great adven-
ture.

one on the curb yelled: "Pipe Sammy

remark, since Sammy from boyhood
had been painfully conscious of his
slightly bowed neither limbs.
Well, what with the animals acting
like the deuce and the kidding he got
from old acquaintance along the line,
and what with-most of all-keeping
on the lookout for Kitty the eyes that
should have been attending very strict

The spotted beasts, always the bane
of menagerie mems existence at best,
were on the verge of getting out of
hand when the cage reached that par
ticular juncture OF two important
thoroughfares where Sammy taxi had
been wont to stand o. nights.
Involuntarily Sammy let his eyes
divert from his snarling, feverishly
pacing charges, to the old spot. And
there, on the edge of the sidewalk,
stood Hartman, his old taxi days en-
ployer, and-evidently quite by acct
dent. Just beside him-stood Kitty
Kitty was white, as Sammy's glance
fell on her. Kitty was frightened.
For Kitty had been able to sense what
scarcely anybody in the crowd sus-
pected for she had been investigating
this animal business a deal in the last
six months, had Kitty.
She knew that things were going
wrong in that cage. AS her eyes and
Sammy's met, she raised her hand in
one imperious, undeniable gesture, and
through white lips screamed over all
the fanfare of the pageant, duck,
Sammy !"
Sammy ducked-and the razor-like
claws of Caliph missed him by the
thinness of a whistle as the snarling
beast hurtled through the air. There
was whirl of tawny, black spotted
bodies and horrifying scramhling
and snarling; an agile flashing of
pink; one, two, three rapid blank
shots in the faces of the frantic cats
and, like jack out of his box,
Sammy emerged from the rear door of
the cage, slamming in the hasp behind
him. In two jumps he reached the
sidewalk
There was no interlude. "Can l

Hartman.
"You can," replied Hartman. In

Kitty might, of course, nave told
him that she'd have felt just the same

to have him back alive.
