READ SERMON ON THE MOUNT
Newspaper Editor Advises People to
Be Cheerful; to Resist Prevailing
Contaglon Of Criticism.

All the editors in the world are
always telling all the people in the
world what to do. 1t is fortunate,
perhaps, that all the people do not
always do what all the editors tell
them. But the editors should worry
Having given the advice, their re-
sponsibility ends. They go ahead,
blithely OF bitterly, as the editorial
temperament chances to trend, and
give out more advice. This particu-
lar editor is like other brethren in
the field, says Farm Life. He is
full of good admonitions, if not of
good deeds, and would like to en-
phasize thought for the month.
He advises you to be- cheerful, to re-
sist the prevailing contagion Of cap
tious criticism, and to read the Ser
mon on the Mount. We can't re-
form the world by barking at it. We
can only make ourselves and others
a bit uncomfortable There is just
as much practical wisdom in the
words of the Master today as when
He uttered them 1000 years ago
when He went up into the mountain
and taught His disciples. When
we get mad at everybody and smart
with sense of the seeming iniqs-
tees of the world, if we get down
the Good Book and read the fifth,
sixth and seventh chapters Of Mat
thew, how our worries and vexatlons
fade away!

Petition for Pardon
State Of Mississippi |
Chickasaw County

State Of Mississippi
Chickasaw County
To his Excellency, Lee M.
Russell, Governor of said State,
and the Honorable Pardoning
of said State:
We the und ersigne d
citizens of said County
and Site, wolld most respect
fully petition the pardon of
Charles j. Wilson of said County
who was convicted at the April
Term, 1921, Of the Circuit Court,
of the Second District, of said
County, of manufacturing liquor
and sentenced to the Penitenitary,
for the space of'three years. We
have known this party for several
years and have always known
him as a peaceable, law abiding
citizen, and he has all along
borne such reputation, and
this to our knowledge has been
his first ,offense. He is now about
sixty years of age, and at the
time of his conviction and sen.
tence he was living with, caring
for, and providing for an aged,
blind, widowed mother now
about 81 years of age who sorely
needs his presence, care and at
tention, and further has always
borne such a peaceable, lawabid-
ing reputation, this being his
first and only offense and Of
which he yet claims that he is
not guilty that he was indicted
and same was returned into
court one evening and was tried
the next morning and did not
have the time and means to
secure the attendance of his
witnesses, that after, his convic-
ton and sentence he was bailed
out by his friends but was unable,
on account Of financial means, to
litigate his case through the
courts and therefore surrendered
himself, of his own violition,
and went by himself alone to the
penitentiary, and has made {
trusty, obedient prisoner ever
since, and therefore respectfully
petition for him full and com
plete pardon.
Witness our signature, thi

EIGHTEEN MILLION Coop
ORATORS IN BRITAIN

The British Cooperative Wholesale
Society has just released figures. based
on the census returns for the United
Kingdom, which show that out of to-
tai population of AZ, 10000 in Eng
land, Scotland, and Wales, the coop
erative societies are supplying the ne
cessities of life for 100000 cooper
ators. The 100000 people in Great
er London are served by $50 large
stores with over 5000 employees The
eight great cooperative societies in
this area are growing so rapidly, ac-
cording to the Wholesale Society's re-
port, that the figures of the next cen
sus will demonstrate the Rochdale plan
of cooperation as the universal pro-
wider of London's household needs.
One of these societies alone has in
creased its membership from 27,26O
in 1911 to over $1,000 at the present
time. What a wild scramble there
would be among the poor" middle
men of Greater New York, which vies
With London as the worlds largest city,

MERIDIAN. Miss. - Addressing the
meeting Of The MIilIissippi Valley High
Way Association. on Highway Con-
straction AS a Cure For Business De-
preston. ]. E. Pennybacker. Secre-
iay. The Asphalt Association, New
FORK, and former Chief Economist, u.
y. Bureau Of Public Roads, made a
most vigorous plea for the divorce
ment Of road management from poll
ilcs. He warned his hearers against
The danger to the good roads move
nent Of Insidious alliances by good
roads associations with organized paw
ing interests, and urged the letting Of
contracts this fall for the relief Of en-
ployment. He presented thorough
engineering analysis which showed that
IN the proposed billion dollar road
program $60O.OOO,O0O would go to
the employed labor - sufficient
sum to keep 100000 laborers busy

200 engineers, inspectors, and other
supervisory employees.
1t has been estimated, said Mr..
Pennybacker, that over Zoe organic
ations are now working in the interest
OF good roads. Most of these organic
atlons are praiseworthy in purpose
and some Of them are worth while in
their accomplishments; but we must
not overlook the fact that they are
first and foremost moral influences
and that in order to maintain this NOR
al influence, they must have no faint
Of commercialism. self-aggrandisement
or any Interior purpose whatever. There
are great bodybuilding industries to-
day whose duty it is to promote the
best material they are capable of pro-
vldIng, to produce the immense ouan-
titles required for the vast road-build-
ing program, to maintain the most rea-
sonabIe prices consistent with sound
business practice and to aid public Of
flcials. engineers, and public welfare
organizations in the development of /
the best business methods for the util-
ization Of these materials. but | saw to
you most earnestly that there should
pc no alliance between any road-build-
ing industry and highway organization
whether it be memorial, humanitarian.
or any other in the guise of serving
lofty purpose and the welfare Of the
nation. Do not allow any industry to
make your organization channel
through which clever craftsmanship
may operate with impunity. This IS
form Of commercialism not legally
dishonest. but it is insidious and dan !:
gerous.
Politics, a baneful influence upon
any constructive public work, IS more I
to pc guarded against in road build
ing and management than ever before
because the vast sums of money avail
able for new roads tempt the profess III
slonal politician to play the game with III
these mighty weapons, not necessarily h
a grating sense, but for trading pur- Il
poses. You need, then, to be vigilant b
and firm. Road-building is an art bas- c

the dance responded and we shall no
doubt do big cleanup job tomorrow.
No, we don't like to work on Sundays,

Monday. Oct, a. - Back on the
big.job at the sweet potato patch. The
whole force is out to-day - that is,
all that can be spared from the other
work. The kiddoos helped.some of the
time, but must not miss school; so we
feel pleased to see them help even a
few hours each day. The printing Of
flee has been deserted for three days
and don't know whether they will
even print the "ravings of the lady
reporter" or not; well, they had bet
ter, because she has been burning
much gas and oil at midnight to get
this dope across to you. If the Colon
list is light on news this week, please
remember it means several crates of
sweet spuds in the dry kiln. More food
and less hunger; and we hope you will
be along to help eat them this time.
Ole, Van, Hamilton. and jacques are
fixing draintrough from the hotel to
the purine pit, to be used in convey
ing dish water and such from the hotel
to the fertilizer plant. A comrade
wrote in and said that from now on
he is off" the intelIecuals. Now, |
am sure he does not mean that. Sure
ly too much intellectually can not be
had by any one, and to talk like that
seems to put premium upon ignor-
ance. think what he meant was that
he didn't want anything to do with
SO-CALLED intellectuaIs. The more
we know (really know the better for
US, but to be led around by the sup
posedly wise is indeed the trouble with
the world to-day. What you know
and can demonstrate is of real worth
but, unless you can demonstrate what
you claim to know, it is of no use to
you. Now, the trouble is that we have
taken other peoples word for most
things and let them lead us around.
1t is high time we quit talking and go
to demonstrating. That's why we are
here. We want to show you our ideas
are practical and right and we are do
ing it and we invite you to come and
see for yourselves. We don't claim to
be so intellectual; but we do claim
that cooperation is right and that it
adds to the wealth, health. education,
and happiness of our people. 1t gives
US security for the future and an OPP
portunity of employment all the time
and an equal share in our entire social
production. The time is not far off
when we will be living in modern
homes and enjoying some of the COM
forts of life that working people should
have and when we get them they are
ours by our own efforts, through our
own labor, and all will have the same
right to them. No, comrade, don't run
off or keep off real intellectually; but
be sure you are dealing with real know
ledge before you take any of it for
practical use. 1t is only false or So
called knowledge that injuries US; real
intellectually or knowledge means real
progress. OF course, | know what our
comrade meant; but | saw a good
