High prices for land make It

to get q start as farmer, or for
the farm renter to become an own
or. The renter ID more likely to- ex-
haust his soil. and less likely to
make permanent improvements. Al

paid for by consumers Of food pro-
ducts. Thus they tend to keep up
the present level Of living costs,
which already are SO badly inflated.
Bankers are generally discouraging
this speculation, which for the time
seems to have died down, feeling
that 1t has been too fast and furious
to be healthful.

EASTER HYMN.

Another Easter is here again
Ring happy bells in joyous strain
Bloom, fair lilies, your fragrance
lend.
To all the world this message send:
That Christ is risen, is living now
The crown Of thorns upon his brow
Is changed to one Of glowing light
That drives away deaths gloomy
night.
Sing, weary hearts instead of weep
ing,
Your loved ones in the grave are
sleeping,
But they shall rise as Christ has
done.
Fer he. ger death the victory won.
Let all the world be glad to-day
And smiles and sunshine have full
sway.
Let flowers bloom and sweet birds
sing
Carols to our risen King.

HONORABLE CHARLES LEE
CRUM FOR CONGRESS

The Herald is authorized to an
nounce Judge Charles Lee Crum, of
New Albany, Mississippi. as a candi-
date for Congress from . this the
Second Congressional District, SUBJ
ject to the action Of the Democratic
primaries Of this year. Judge
Crum is at present the able Circuit
Court Judge in his district and is an
able lawyer and jurist. He has been
very successful in politics and is
considered as one of the strongest
and most influential men in the dis
trict. We call attention to the let
ter of Judge Crum, appearing in
this issue, which sets forth his views
and expectations in conducting the
campaign. While we have not as
vet had the pleasure Of meeting
Judge Crum, we feel safe In saving
that he will make friends In this
county, when he visits our people
and, knowing that he has the abil-
ity and qualifications to render sat
isfactory and distinguished service
in the lower house Of Congress. we
ask that the voters Of this and ad-
joining counties In the district ac-
cord his candidacy the fullest con-
sideration. Tallahatchie Herald.

WE SHOULD
HAVE A CHANGE.


Much is being said about the bad
condition of the streets all Of which
is timely and justified. The streets
are in a dreadful condition. It is
almost impossible to get over the
road leading from the city to the
University. And if there is good
street in town this one ought to be
the best. The streets all over town
are full of holes and ruts, which are
liable to break cars and wagons.
But the city has no funds to do with,
nor it never will have so long as the
present commission form of gov
ernment prevails, it does not mat
ter who is mayor or commissioners,
it is a physical impossibility TO try
to run little town like Oxford, sue
cessfully, on the commission form.
What we need is mayor and board
Of aldermen, one elected from each
ward, and placed on a low salary
basis, say $25 per year. This alone
would be a great saving to the town.
1t is well enough to pay city clerk
a good salary, say $125 per month,
to collect water and light bills and
look after the business office. A
marshal at $75 per month would
make his salary from arrests-if he
would do his duty.
There must be retrenchment, or
the town will go bankrupt. There
must be a general change in the
management Of affairs and the
form of government in order to ac-
complish a saving for the city. The
way things are running now we are
having the poorest service in water
and lights, no streets fit to travel
over. Besides disorder is allowed
to 60 unchecked at nights and some
other times. Just short time ago,
on one Sunday morning, several
holes were shot through the tin
awning in front Of barber shop on
the west side Of the square. A short
time before that, several holes were
shot through the veranda floor up
stairs by the side of Rowland's
Drug store, and one Of the glass
doors to DR.. Rowland's office was
shattered by one of the shots on this
occasion, which was one night not
very long ago.
We mention these things that the
people Of Oxford may take time to
give the matter a thought ht-what 1t
means.

THE PRIMARIES.

The returns Of the state primaries
already held indicate much lighter
vote than is usually cast at cleo
tiona. Many people find it impos-
sible to quit work for few minutes
or an hour, to do their part In as
suring this country good govern
ment for the next four years. Yet
they would not forget a business ap-
pointment in which they stood to
gain or lose few dollars.
The issues at stake in the coming
election are vast. The industrial
relations Of the. country need re-
construction. And the United States
must help rebuild a PROSTATE world,
and determine which part it shall
take in world affairs. A great
genius is needed for the settlement
of such questions.
The mind of Washington or
Jefferson or Lincoln is called for.
But this is not the day Of mental
giants. There is plenty Of good
ability, but a lack Of overtowering
genius. All the more the people
must give most earnest thought to
the selection of their leaders, so
that they get the best and the
broadest, those most capable Of far
seeing action.
This is no ordinary election, with
incidental problems to settle. The
issues at stake go to the heart Of
American life, and affect the destiny
of the nation. These are questions
not to be decided on offhand inn
pulses, but through patient atten-
ton and sustained reflection.
The nominating convention should
not be made up Of mere politicians
with axes to grind. The best brains
and the most devoted patriotism
should bs there to make these fate
full decisions The citizen who does
not do his part, by attending the
primaries and helping select that
type of men for convention dele
gates, merits the contemptuous title
of Stacker. He manifests singular
mental sluggishness and indifference
to his own interest.

The night time-the evening hour
should be the pleasantest, the hap
piest time Of the whole day.
That is the time for most of the
social activities, the time when

when the common interests Of the

are considered, the time for every
body to forget to be selfish. to con-
tribute his or her share to the hap

consequence, accordingly.
Some people can be happy and

The College of Bishops

SIT DOWN
 A MINUTE
 AND THINK Size Up Your Condition. Look at the Facts Squarely IT PAYS TO HAVE GOOD
 HEALTH Most Illnesses Are Prevented by a Good Supply of Rich, Red Blood. Take Pepto- Mangan, the Red Blood
 Builder

Either you are in good health or you
 are not. There's no half way. You may
 think nothing of being a little run down. It may not worry you if you look pale. You may think you'll be all
 right tomorrow or next day. But will you?
 Certain 1t is when you do not feel just right, you are not right. There is probably some thing the matter with your blood. And while you can get around and do your work you are leav- ing yourself open to any of the diseases l that are always waiting to take pos session of run down people. When you are pale and easily tired when you cannot enjoy your meals. when you lose enthusiasm, your blood needs attention.
 Take Pepto- -Mangan for awhile. It is a great tonic. It will build up your resistance to disease, and you will soon feel stronger. The little red corpuscles are fighters. They battle with disease germs and win out when there are enough of them. Keep your system well supplied. Then you will keep well and you will enjoy life. But be certain you get the genuine Pepto -Mangan. Ask for 1t by the full name--"Gude's Pepto- -Mangan." Some people take it in tablet form. It is so convenient. The liquid and the tablets have the same medicinal value. Look ! for the name "Gudes" on the package.

fact that the Jewish People repre-
sents an anomalous body, since the
all-important element Of common
representation is lacking, and that
by reason of the abnormality Of the
Jewish collective body, the mind Of
man cannot be psychological and log
ical when thinking Of the Jew: it is
confused and conceives a repugnance
and prejudice against the abnormal
inarticulate object-the Jews.
A Permanent Jewish Headship.
It seems that our theory of the
basic cause Of anti-Semitism is suf-
ficiently proximate to reality to grow
into it. The element Of representa-
ton can be created for, by and on
behalf Of the international Jewish
body.
When we consider that the Jewish
People has a membership Of fourteen
million souls determined to remain
Jews, and that the Jewish body cor
porate has lofty object for its ex-
istence, it seems reasonable to as
sumo that with such material, and
the extensive means of communica-
ton at hand, it should not be so diff
ficuit to create a headship to that
body.
Such a step would at once trans
form the Jews from an aggregate
into unit-into a psychological en-
tity which the mind could clearly per-
ceive and Judge. Such a headship
for Israel can find its practical ex-
preston in permanent Interna-
tional Jewish Congress with stable
executive. Then only will the mind
conceive Of the Jewish People and the
Jews psychologically and logically,
confusion Of thought on the Jewish
Question will take flight, and the
prejudices against the Jew will dis
appear.
The Jewish People must become a
normal body corporate with the ele-
ment Of representation or forever
suffer from the terrible effects Of
anti-Semitism.
