IF TRIED ON ONE CHARGE ALONE.

- Miss Belle Kearney is ~prodding Hubert Stephens about hav-
ing voted for Russell for Governor in the second primary when
Russell was nominated for Governor. From a political view
point, she cannot be blamed and we must confess that it was
an awful political sin he committed, but one that we feel has
been grlevous unto him, and one of which we are sure he has
repented in sack cloth and ashes.
But in this connection, it is well not to overlook that Senator
John Sharp Williams, Leroy Percy, John Allen and numerous
other leaders at one time voted for Vardaman-yet they said
never again." and we feel that cOnsciences of these gentlemen
soreIy bed about this one almost diabolcal political act.
Thus the thought comes to us that if we take any prominent
man up and try him on one act alone, he will go down. So it
is with the hearts and lives of men: Try them on one act, sep
arate and apart from the balance of their lives, and guilty"
would be the verdict.
But we are led to inquire, What Miss Belle did to prevent
the election of Russell? She has been prominent in public af-
fairs for a number of years. The Scriptures teach that the sins
of omission are just as grievous as those of commission.
Hubert Stephens has lead a clean, upright life. He is hon
est. His neighbors and the Christian ministry who have lived
in his town underwrite his moral character and his personal in
tegrty. He showed great ability as district attorney; his as
sociates in Congress say that his record is worthy of the stand
ard set by Mississippi's best and greatest men. He should be
elected. -A - y ,~~~ 49,
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1922-06-30

In an editorial in The Sentinel of June II, 1921, in discuss
ing 1.-TWO Things Grenada Ought To Have" this language was
used in reference to a natatOrium:
"A natatorium could be built at a cost perhaps not to ex-
coed three or four thousand dollars, and we feel sure that there
could hardly be anything which that amount of money would
build that would be a greater source of pleasure to the boys and
girls, the young men and the young women, as we'll as many of
the older ones of the community. Besides this, swimming is one
OF the most heafthful exercises and is very helpful in develop
ing the muscles and in putting vigor and vitality into the body.
Bathing is a fine tonic oftentimes. We believe that, should
some of our citizens who are able to do so, invest in a nata-
forum, it would be found to be a paying enterprise"
What was stated last year is just as pertinent today. We
hear it suggested that a natatorium could be built for less
money than above stated. We take it that the City could and
would make such concessions on water as are made to other en-
terprlses which use unusual quantities of water or lights.
We take 1t that a natatorium in Grenada would be run
under such rules and regulations as the most thoughtful and
would approve. We are glad to know that the matter
is being agtated again and we feel sure that those who may in
vest In a natatOrium in our city would render a distinct public
service and, too, we believe that it would be found to be a nice
revenue producer.

LADIES, REGISTER AND VOTE.

The Sentinel never thought that any large per cent of the
ladies of Mississippi wanted the ballot, but regardless of that,
it has been bestowed upon them and it carries the same oblga-
lions to them that it does to the men.
There is an important election to be had in Mississippi
August Is, when a United States Senator, eight congressman
and the Chancery and Circuit Judges are to be elected. We
think we know that a vast majority of the women of Mississippi
pi will not give aid and encouragement to the political ambi-
tons of any man who did not back the United States flag in a
war. We therefore think it all the more important that the
ladies register. The last day upon which any one may register
and vote in the primary as well as the November election, is
July z. May we urge the ladies of Grenada and Grenada
County not to fail to qualify themselves by registering.

Heard one of the biggest merchants and most prominent
business men IN South Mississippi say a few days ago, while dis
conditions" that he believed that a species of insanity for pleas

stated that only recently in his town an effort was made to raise
some funds for a stricken district and that very, very few could

few. Only a few days later, a subscription was started for d
base ball stand and for a pavilion for a dance, and everybody
subscribed. Four thousand dollars was raised in a little WHILE
this was for pleasure, he stated.

Every college raises the intellectual atmosphere for twenty
miles around" and enthusiastic educator is credited with say
ing. We wonder then what sort of atmosphere there would
have been in certain localities, or counties, of Mississippi had
there been no college there?. We have wondered sometimes
why so much provinciaism as we'll as numerous other "isms"
leges: We have speculated as to why some of our colleges had
not served better as a leaven to their surroundings. We have
also found ourselves excusing our colleges Upon the grounds
that Ephraim could not be divorced from his idols. Unques-
tionably there are some local surroundings that some of our col
leges have failed to reach, in spite of a splendid history of
seVenty-fve years.

MAYOR FAVORS
STANDARD WAGE.
Mr.. Shank quickly replied in the mega
tive, saying he only had said he be-
lieved all city employees should be paid
the standard wage. He said he never
would sign an ordinance to cut the pay
of any city employee. Mr.. Bernd and Mr..
Claycombe said they Thoughtful would
be better to pay lower wages and keep
everybody working full time. The mayor
said he would rather pay decent wages
and hire the employees eight months a
year.
Building Commissioner Francis L.
Hamilton and Councilman Walter w.
Wise said the building code should be
revised, and the mayor announced he
would appoint a committee of nine tech
meal men to work out a revision.

II have heard 1t said Mr.. Hogue, when
he was street commissioner once hauled

DR.. Elizabeth Conger, city poundmas-

1mpounded dogs, pointing out the present
miserable quarters are infected with dis
temper and dog influenza and many fine
animals are lost. The mayor suggested
DR.. Conger try to get one of the de-
serted buildings at the old workhouse,
but she said the toard of safety is ne
gotiating with the indianapolis Humane
Society for the use of the new animal

''Well, go to 1t. As long as you don't
catch one of my dogs, you'll get along all
right" said the mayor.

have at least enough to live on through
