BEST MINDS.

We have no quarrel with Mr..
Harding's statement, on the eve
of his pre-inaugural vacation, that
he intends to give the country a
party government. We were not
one who expected anything else, or
who were deluded by the summon
ing of "best minds" to Marion (in-
Guiding renegade and lame-duck
Democrats.) Of course Mr.. Hard
ing will preside at the head of a
strictly party government, and un-
der our political system it is best
that he should. Mr.. Wilson tried
the experiment of bipartisan gov
eminent during the war without
flattering success. In fact it con-
stituted his only failure. The
more Republicans he appointed to
responsible positions in the gov
eminent the more viciously he
was assailed by the Republican
party. And in the end many of the
benefciaries of his appointive
power turned to bite the hand that
fed them.
We are glad that Mr.. Harding
is not going to have any Demo-
Gratis i'm his Cabinet or in other
positions of power or authority
where it is possible to turn the
rascals out" While the new Pres
ident will freely consult the "best
minds" the world knows that all
the best minds are in the republi-
can party, for republicans them
selves confess it. Hence there is q
very happy arrangement. A re-
publican is by nature best mind,
and a best mind has got to be a
republican or it's a counterfeit.
With best minds and republic
cans simultaneously occupying all
the Offices the nation should enter
upon a period Of unexabpled hap
piness and prosperity, for the of
flee holders at least. At any rate
it will be comforting to know that
the undivided responsibility for
the results will be fixed and GER

When we begin to make the
worst places in our public roads
the best places by putting down
gravel or crushed rock, we will
then be on the road to permanency
so far as our road question is con-
cerned. We have implicit faith
in. the rock road, and believe that
its efficiency and permanency will
some day in the near future be
fully established in this county.
We have plenty of rock, and the
plan is not an experimental one by
any means. Some Of the finest
roads in the world are built of
rock like that to be found in a.
bundance in Rankin county.

The News devotes considerable
space this week to a call issued by
County Agent Burks for farmers
mass meetings at various places in
the county on the 4th day Of Feb
ruary. This is a most important

growing our food crops must be
made paramount to cotton. We
want every meeting to report their
proceedings to MIR. Burks, and we
will give the results in The News.

any case, one touch of humor
makes the whole world kin. But
if the philosophy of this lover is
as shallow as his idea of love,
there is quite profound philoso-
ply in the Rabbits reply to the
complaint of kindly Christian
that the Jews have God of Ven
geance while the Christians have
a God of Love. 1t is perfectly
true, admits the Rabbi. Jews,
having a God of Vengeance, leave
the Vengeance to Him, while
they occupy themselves with
Love; while Christendom, having
God of Love, leaves all the
work of love to Him, and concen-
trates on Vengeance.
After complaining that some of
the stories are too up-to-date, it
would be unfair to complain that
others are too we'll known to me.
The wonder is that so many
should be unknown. But one
called "a Lie" if familiar, is also
one of the subtlest of all Jewish
Jokes. In this, business man
tells a rival that he is off to buy
goods in Warsaw, and the other
retorts: "Why do you try to fool
me? You only say you are go
ing to Warsaw because you want
to make me believe you are 60
ing to Lodz. But I know you are
going to Warsaw, so what is the
use of lying about it?'
l do not know if you have
laughed at this, but the book be-
gins with a piece of psychology
which may be worth repeating,
smacking as it does, of the soil
of the Pale: "When you tell
story to a peasant, he laughs
three times: the first time he
laughs when you tell him the
story, and the second time when
you explain it, and the third time
when he understands it., A land
ed proprietor laughs only twice.
Once when you tell him the
story, and the second time when
you explain it. AS for understand

that place where they do fancy
weaving, but l didn't buy any

too dear. And I looked in the

candles stuck on the tables and
pictures that made me feel ner-

they left me the dishes to wash.

ing it, that, in any case, he never
does. An officer laughs only once
when one tells him story, be-
cause to have anything explained
to him he will not allow, and un-
derstand he never does. A Jew,
when you tell him a story, says
Pooh, old storyp and can tell it
better"
A similar joyous note runs
through the Folk Songs, despite
one long lament called, "On the
Green Field" describing a dead
soldier. 1T is good to be Jew"
runs the general refrain. Let us
take as an example, "Schabess."
A few verses will show the spirit.
Trouble have I all the week,
Hard it is my bread to seek.
But Schabess,
The Sabbath Day, the day of rest,
But Schabess :!
"No roof the wind or snow for
bids,
My room is full of sickly kids,
But Schabess, ETC.
"The room is dark, and on the
dish,
eel,
But Schabess, ETC.
1t is from the loss of this JOY
in Judaism under modern eco
nomic conditions that the real
danger of the old faith lies. Per-
haps, indeed, in these western
lands Judaism cannot survive
