train whistle.
His wife didn't mind it so much un-
til they moved down near a round
house.
Couples who live in small cities
don't get much chance to spoon. II
they miss one train they've got to
wait three or four hours for another
hug.
One country chap got his training
in a little town, and when he moved
to New York he was a riot in the
Grand Central.
He got so that he was kissing his
sweetheart right on schedule.
He became so efficient that he could
tell her when she was going to get an
other hug without ever looking at the
timetable.
She got sore at him one day when
a train came in and he forgot to kiss
her. but he consOled her by telling
her he was on the second section.
HIS sweetheart got so that she c0uld
tell by his kisses what trains were
coming in. AS soon as he'd hug her
she'd know whether it was a Boston
, local or the Goth Century Limited.
He didn't care what trains he met.
If the Twentieth Century Limited was
late, he'd go over and meet the Chi
cago Express and then he'd meet a
couple of locals between times.
He even got so that he'd 90 down
to the water front and meet the night
boat from Albany.
He was always in the Grand Cen
trail when there were any trains due.
He'd kiss his sweetheart goodbye
on one track and then welcome her
back on another.
She got so that she had to carry a
time table to tell whether she was ar
irving or leaving.
He didn't care whether or not the
train was late-he was always on
time.
4 railroad depot is a good place for
a couple to spoon, but it's carrying it
too far when you begin meeting on
street cars.

Hattiesburg, Niss.-Hubert D.. Steph'
ems. candidate for u. S. Senator to sue
coed Senator John Sharp Williams,
was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd
al the county cOur house recently,
where he addressed his audience on
subjects Of good government and the
progress OF the state Of Mississippi
and the nation
The crowd remained intact Il thor
oughly attentive and interested
throughout, and the applause received
by Mr.. Stephens was enthusiastic and
spontaneous
He decried the brand OF politics
which has been practiced in Missis-
sippi for the last few years, and laid
at its door much OF the evil which con
fronts the state at this time.
There is no reason, the candidate
said. why decency in running for Of
ice SnOulQ not Dc ueIiduueu III q Idh
didate. He also declared that clean
illness in holding office should be de-
manded OF politicians. These state
ments were productive OF much ap-
plaUse.
He talked on the large party lines
which control the politics Of this coun-
try, and said these lines should be
held TO. He had no use. he declared.
for a Democrat who carried his per
sOnal animosities beyond the party
lines. and declared that if such a poll
tician could not COnfine his fights with

affiliations.

SAYS JOHN p. MEDBURY

Couples who have no homes are do
ing their spooning in railroad stations.
They go down to the depot and kiss
each other every time a train comes
in.

MIR. stephens said in part;

IN my campaign for the Senate 1
OF any one. The times are pOrten-
tous; there are grave problems
awaiting solution that require and
demand the best efforts of our in
t~ellects, unweakened by thoughts
that draw the energies Of our minds
away from those problems, and to
engage in a campaign filled with
abuse and vituperatiOn at such a
critical time is not only COntempti-
Bile, but it is most unp3triOtlC. Our
state has been S0relY cursed by cam
paigus that are remembered only for
their bitterness and the heritage of
prejudice and hate they left in the
minds and hearts Of the people. Their
evil and disastrous effects are with
ais even today.
Nor shall / in this campaign at
tempt to rouse class feeling or class
prejudice. The candidate who would
do that is not a true friend of the peo-
pie. because the man who would for
any reason uprOOt the bonds of love,
sympathy. good feeling and good fell
lOWship in a famiIy-and we are all
members of the same household, all
Mississippians-is an enemy of society
and lacking in reverence for the high
er and better things of life. Prejudice
is the foe of reason; it is the harbin-
ger of hate; it makes one mentally
COlOr-blind TO facts; it makes beauty
appear lOathSOme, honesty look like
dishonesty, virtue like vice, strength
like weakness; it eats into the very
vitals and never fails to destroy him
who harbOrs it; it mildews the soul
and curdleS the milk of human kind
ness Therefore, ] repeat, one who
seeks to arouse such vile passions Is
an enemy of society. The people Of
Mississippi, l trust and believe, are
sick and Disguised with such methods
of campaigning, and l feel sure they
Will express, in 40 uncertain manner
their strong disapproval Of such politi-
cal conduct as they have witnessed in
the TaSt.
