GOOD FELLOWS IN OFFICE.

we IN this country nave grad
ually dropped into the habit of
electing good fellows to public
office. If they are possessed OF
some slight qualifications, we
are fortunate. If they are with
out qualifications, we elect them
anyway because they are good
fellows."
The professional politician is
invariably a good fellow" 1t is
part of his stock in trade. 1t is
necessary that he be such in Or
der to succeed.
Because of this you find our
public offices filled with profess
sional politicians.
The young fellow with politi-
ii ambitions goes out after
me small office, and because
he's pleasant and agreeable, a
good talker and bunk singer, we
give it to him.
Next he fixes his eye on ar Of
flee a little higher up land be.
cause he has proven himself q
good fellow in the small one we
give him the next one.
Then the state legislature anc
even congress, offer attractions
to his ambitious mind.
We have come to know hin
we'll, have smoked his cigars al
election time, have admired his
democracy in kissing the kids
have accepted his blarney at face
value, and again we give him his
hearts desire - because you
know, he's a real fellow"
In the state capitol, or il
Washington, the good fellow
meets other good fellows-fel
lows who do not hold Office, bu.
who do hold the power Of mater
tally advancing the personal in
. terests of the new legislator i
he is a good Indian.
But there we draw the veil. Yo1
know the sordid story by hear
the story of c~apitalistic intri
que and domination at the ex
pense of the people, Of the bligh
ted hope of honest constituents
of the betrayal of public trust.
Too often is seen in this coun
try because in the beginning w
were soft hearted and easy an
believed in the honeyed word
and worthless promises of a goo
fellow.
These are troublous times, an
we need something more tina
"good fellows" in our offices {
public trust.
We need craftsmanship cal
able of reconstructing the scran
bled and battered fabric of on
body polite.
We need honor and brains il

But we reap only as we so,

O BEING

BUNS BEING RE1UttNE Ell.
Approximately $500 Of the
books which were provided thro-
ugh the generosity of residents
Of Mississippi for the army, ma
w, and marine corps during the
war are being returned to this
state by the American Library
Association, after having seen
service literally in all parts of
the world.
The books, among them many
volumes, recently were
shipped from New York by the
Library Association
to Mrs. A. K. Hamm, Librarian
of the Public Library Meridian.
Mrs. Hamm will have charge of
circulating the books through
out the state. They are expect
ed to relieve temporarily the
need for wider public library
service, which, since the war has
been acute, especially in Missis-
sippi. Statistics recently COM
piled by the United States Com
missioner of Education show
that there are public libraries
less than ten per cent of the pop
ulation of the state.
In view of this need, the Am
erican Library Association ex-
poets to receive substantial sup
port from the residents Of Miss
issippi in it's undertaking of a ma
ton wide effort to extend public
library facilities. The Associa-
ton is gathering a fund of two
million dollars with which to car
ry out this aim, as well as many
other features of a program
which will make the public lib
rary a vital force in building up
an intelligent, productive citiz-
enship throughout the entire I'm
tied States. In the work of col
lecting funds, DR.. T. M. Owen,
Director of the Division Of Lii
brary Extension Of the Depart
ment of Archives and History
at Montgomery, Alabama, is ser
wing as regional director fol
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama
and Tennessee.
An institute of the regiona
directors from the entire coun
try now is being held in New
York for the purpose of perfect
ing plans for collecting the twt
million dollar fund, and pushing
the much NEEDED work with al
, possible vigor.
In the use to be given tn
books recently returned to tn
states, the request has beel
made that the war service pur
/ pose of the books be remembers
> and that special effort be mad
!, to meet the needs of ex-servic,
; men with them. Since demobil
ization, the American Librar.
l Association has found it neces
sary to maintain a huge mai
l service for lending books to for
mer service men who are now il
: home communities which do no
have public libraries. The book
: recently sent to this state wi
: probably be used as travelling Ii
l braries.
Several millions of books wer
u worn out by heavy usage in tn
I the camps, hospitals and train
: ing stations, but the America
Library Association was able t
salvage more than one millio
volumes from it's war work i
America and overseas. Of thes'

SEARCHING FOR INJURED MEN

New York, Oct. 8-Search was made today for three men who have been missing since the explosion on board the oil tank ship G. R. Grove. yesterday, when fiv- were killed out right and nearly 40 injured. It was not known whether the men had been blown into the water and drowned, or whether, in the excite ment they left the shipyard where the explosion occurred without schecking their names with the time Keeper and are still alive. One of the injured men was so badly hurt that it was said he would die. An investigation is being made by District Attorney Lewis of Kings county to fix the responsibility. It was reported that a workman had dropped an actylene torch on the deck and that this caused an oil tank to blow up. For a long time it was believed that the boilers had ex- ploded, but this was disproved.
 The tanker is owned by the Mon- tezuma Transportation Company of Toronto and carries oil from the Tampico field.
