High Cost of Talking

COngresswoman Alice Robertson
has appealed to congress to stop
talking and save money"
Right-a dead center shot.
There must be a great surplus of
wind in congress when a woman
deems it expedient to appeal to the
men to talk less at the expense of
their cOuntrymen.
The cOngresswoman estimates
that one week of congressional talk
ing costs the country nearly ten
thousand dollars in printing bills.
and that only covers a part of the
expense.
And yet there are two sides even
to this question.
If our distinguished congressman
were not talking us poor in Wash
ington they might be talking US to
death at home.
We hate to part with our money,
but we determined to cling to life.
Let 'em talk-in Washington.

fAV0RS THE EARLY MEET
ING OF THE TAXPAYERS
Heard Many Expressions on Call
and All Favor 1t

Wren. July z.
To Aberdeen Weekly:
VIII you be so kind as to publish
in reply TO a call published in your
paper, written by Hon. George c.
Paine. for the tax payers of Mon
roe county to meet at the county
court house the first Monday in
August at 2 O'Clock p. n.
have heard many expressions
on the call and all favor it. As
we see it a change in expenses
must be made instanter on high
taxes. It looks as though every
thing has been reduced but taxes
and salaries paid out to officers.
And the dilemma is to come when
the taxes fall due-what and where
is the money to come from? No
cotton can be made which will bear
profit, and none Is to other crops
also. Who is the buyer as to cat
tie? Cattle will not, at present
prices, pay the cost and freight.
So, Mr.. Tax Payer, let's all be on
hand and see if any relief can be
had.
Respectfully.

Judge D. w. Houston

The numerous friends of Judge
d. w. Houston in his home county
and elsewhere in the state will be
gratifed to learn that he is now
fully convalescent from a painful
and serious illness OF several weeks.
Judge Houston is the logical man
TO succeed Lee M. Russell as gov
ernor. He is not a politician. but
is a constructive statesman and
Just the kind of man Mississippi
needs dnring the time in which
necessary reconstruction must take
place, if the people are to remain
free, prosperous and happy. While
Judge Houston Is not a candidate
for any place. a wide spread pres
sure is being brought to bear from
every section of the state to inhu-
ence him to offer and allow the
people to elect him as their next
governor.
Tentatively, Mississippi has look
ed to him for the past dozen years
to serve her in that place, He is
now ripe in experience, ability and
craftsmanship, and much solicita-
ton is now being and is going to
be exerted to induce him TO enter
the race and serve in the most inn
portant office within the gift of the
people.
The editor of this paper believes
that Judge Houston will not sane
ton what he has said above, but
modest men do not always approve
what their friends say about them,
even if what they say is the truth
The editor has said what he has
said, and has expressed nothing
from which he desires to recede.

Congressman Rankin's Growth

Those who read the Congression-
al Record carefully can not fail to
notice the estimation in which each
member of the House or Senate is
held by his cO-representatives In
this connection the constituency of
Hon. John E. Rankin are eratifed
to observe that no new member
from any district in the Union has
advanced more rapidly in this way
than Mr.. Rankin has.
On June 29th, speaking to an
amendment to the bill proposing
to invite England and Japan to
send representatives to discuss with
representatives of the United States
the proposition to reduce arma-
ments, Mr.. Rankin enlisted the at
tention of the entire House. At
the conclusion of his remarks the
vote was taken with the favorable
result of 332 for and four against
the amendment.
1t is very gratifying to Mr. Ran
kin's friends at home to observe
his growth in influence at the Ma
tional Capital, for only through
ability, activity and influence can a
democrat hope. to achieve for his
constituency in a Republican con-
gress.
