dent, sends The Leader the follow
ipg:-
On Monday of this week Prof. w.
E. Kalinowski a musician and musi-
cal leader of long experience and a
graduate of Heidelberg University,
appeared for the first time before the
college assembly. Mr.. Kalinowski
has been engaged to serve as musical
instructor and band leader, succeed
ing A. e. Weatherly formerly on the
faculty in that capacity who resign
ed. He relieved Prof. M. D. Seilin
who had been temporarily In charge
of the musical department. While
the new musical leader has natural
and cultivated talent for Instrument
al music he is an artist especially
with the violoncello, rendering an
appreciated instrumental duet with
Prof. Seilin accompanying. 1t is ex-
pected that the college band will
continue to develop under Mr.. Kalin-
owski's careful instruction, with
some new material from freshman
ranks to augment the former play
ers from the upper classes.

SOLID FOUNDATION NEEDED IN
OUR SCHOOLS.

The standard Of the Consolidated
School is high. We are informed
that some pupils who have had in
efficient training In the one-teacher
schools. are humiliated at their fail
ure to make grades in some instanc-
es. This is a sad reflection on the
teaching ability Of Lincoln County in
some schools.
The demand should be for the best
teachers or your children will be the
victims. Politics should have no
place in the school system and the
Superintendent should play no IA
vorites.
Thorough training in the funda-
mental branches-spelling, arithme-
tic and English Is absolutely neces-
sary. do you know we have to
SPELL for our stenographers2" 2" said
a business man the other day.
The fact is, too, that If children
do not learn correctly older people
will never know. It is impossible
to correct some mistakes made in
early training. Bad spelling and
poor grammar are among the GER
lors' that remain in great part thru
out life.

Bell Friendly to Vardaman.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 8.-Hon.
Percy Bell, of Washington county,
who was here on legal business to-
day, said in regard to his candidacy
for governor that he may be counted
upon to run for the office of govern
or in the coming campaign and
would certainly be in the field at the
proper time. Asked particularly as
to his position on factionalism in
the governors race, Judge Bell said
that he had already visited many
counties and found that the people
were weary of factionalism.
Personally" he said, II have al
ways been warm friend of Sena-
tor Vardaman; have good reason to
be, and / intend to support him for
the Senate. But as a candidate for
governor. I would count myself un-
worthy of that distinguished honor If
! should offer myself as the candidate
of any political faction. l shall make
the race strictly on my own merits
and on my public record as a citizen
and lawyer and. judge.
Il am heartily in accord with the
movement to divorce the race for
United States senator from that for
governor and other state offices and
thus free the campaign from any
taint Of coat tail riding"

Judge Flaws Violators.

Hattiesburg, Miss, Nov. s. The
second day of circuit court is busy
with civil cases. Four weeks of the
term will be devoted to trial of the
civil docket two weeks to the Jcrim-
inal docket.
The grand jury which was en-
panelled yesterday, with G.. L. Haw-
kins, ST., prominent business man,
as foreman, has as yet made no re-
port.
Judge R. S. Halls charge to the
jury yesterday, was an impressive
one. He told the grand jurors to pay
especial attention to running down
wildcat" stills and bootleggers. He
also dealt most severely with gam
bling, especially among minors, in
structing the grand jury to return
indictments in any case of this char
acter where the evidence would war
rant.
The civil docket is the larger one
and contains several suits of interest
and of money value. The criminal
docket is so far small, there being
but few appealed or held over cases
from last term. The length of the
criminal session depends principally
upon the number of indictments re-
turned by the grand jury.

General John J. Pershing said:-
"The world does not seem to learn
from experience. It would appear
that the lessons Of the past six years
should be enough to convince every
body Of the danger Of nations strid-
ing up and down the earth armed to
the teeth. But no one nation can re-
duce armaments unless all do. The
United States is not an aggressive
nation. We want no territory, and
we have no designs on other people.
II other nations have the same atti-
tude, 1t seems unreasonable not to
believe that all would be willing to
prove it by consenting to limit arm
aments. Unless some such move be
made, we may well ask ourselves
whether civilization does really
reach a point where 1t begins to de-
stroy itself, and whether we are thus
doomed to 90 down through destruc-
tive war into darkness and barba-
glsm."
