Is Reckoning without His Host.

Bonneville Advocate.
I The newspapers tell us that we are
to have Republican candidate for
governor next year. The gentleman
who has signifed his willingness to
be sacrificed is one Mr.. Mason, of
Crystal Springs, Miss. No doubt
Mr. Mason was encouraged to enter
the race for governor by the large
vote polled for the Republican stan
dard bearers IN the election for pres
ident in 1920 But he has reckoned
without his host, and consequently
doomed to disappointment.

PIties The Poor Legislators.

Carthage Carthagenian.
Poor legisatorsl They will not
get one bit of credit for honesty OF
even ability, no matter how wisely
they legislate. From every side
they have been memorialized, petit
toned and demanded. They have
been told exactly what to do and
what pot to do. So constant ano
urgent have been the demands that
some of the number are showing
signs of becoming peeved. They
probably are of the opinion that leg
islation is not the cause of all pres
ent day ailments and that legislation
cannot cure all evils.

Bt NOT aAsry M JUDGMENT.
Yazaoo City Sentinel.

Yazaoo City Sentinel.
Every true Mississippi regrets the
sensational charges that have been
made against Gov. Lee M. Russell.
They regret the notoriety this thing
brings the state. Because Of the
exalted position the subject OF these
charges holds, the disgrace has been
spread on press wires to all parts
of the globe. Being confronted with
such a situation, however, the peo-
Pile must face it. and they should be
slow to acquit or condemn. While
admitting its possibilities the Senti-
mel does not like 10 even consider
that Mississippi politics has fallen
so low that it would attempt charac-
ter assassination and the wrecking
OF lives other than that of its open
targets. Ii it is true that the char
ges are inspired for pc itical pur
poses, the Sentinel hopes this will
be proved and it has enough CONT
dence in the manhood and woman
hood of Mississippi to believe that,
not only will Governor Russell b.
INDICATED, but that those who COZ
ceived such damnable plot will he
bounded from public life and from
the state. Be not hasty in judge
ment. Let the Legislature and the
courts investigate and let this invcs-
| tigation be free from the pressure Of
hastily or incompletely formed con-
victions by the people. Only few
people really know the inside" of
this affair, and these few are doing
little talking. In every hotel lobby
and on every street corner, however,
there are the usual vultures that al
ways appear with scandal story,
pretending to know it all. f" Taey

EDITORIAL

The Winona Times is visiting our
exchange table after an absence oil
several years. It's rather tirta-
tious critter in that respect. Once
before its editor, Mr.. Walker Wood,
promised to do better and said some
one in the mailing department was
responsible for its Inconsistencies, SC
we shall see once more if real steady
abiding exchange relation is desired.
The Times is a most excellent paper
and it has not been our fault that
we have not been swapping all tbs

Disapproves Of That Course.

Senatobia Democrat.
Though the editor Of the Demo
crat did not vote for our present
governor we can not agree with
those brethren of the press who
seize upon this opportunity to heap
abuse upon our Chief Executive.
The case is yet to be tried in the
Courts and until the verdict is rem
dered against him the burden of
proof rests upon the State, or in
this case the plaintiff. And If he is
guiltyas h. itself we still do not
see where it helps our beloved state
any to continually parade this kind
of stuff before the world.

THREE-M|[E LIMIT
New Policy Would Avoid Em->
barrassment With For.
eign Countries.

O~erzealousness in the enforcement
of the prohibition law at sea beyond
the three-mile limit is not to be- per-
mitted by the United States govern
ment. This was decided upon at the
meeting today of the President with
the cabinet, and the Secretary of the
Treasury was directed at once to re-
quire the prohibition enforcement Of
fee to exercise more judgment and
caution in the future in searching
ships for liquor when they are be-
yond the three-mile limit.
In making this known at the White
House today il was explained that
activities on the part OF prohibi-
ton officers beyond the three-mile
limit have threatened an embarrass-
ing situation which may involve this
country in diplomatic relations, with
foreign nations. To avoid suca en-
barra ssment the administration Is de-
termined that the prohibition Office
must in the future use more 5udg-
ment.
However, this caution will not ap-
nly TO the searching of ships beyond
the three-mile limit, which are known
to be in contact with shore. such as
the running of small craft of the
ship to some point on the land. This
latter has been held by several courts
Of the United States violation of
the prohibition law. which excludes
the foreign vessel from the three
mile limit privilege. This point OF
law, however. is now before the Su-

CONSTANTINOPLE, September 26.
There are growing indications that
the sultan's retirement from the
throne is imminent.
The violent epithets said to have
been used by Mustapha Kemal- Pasha
against the sultan in the course OF
interviews with newspaper men have
caused painful dismay in the palace.
The sultan is represented as being in
an entire state of collapse. and all
audiences have been suspended.
The members Of his encourage are
beset with fears, and one by one
are leaving the palace.
Brother-in-Law Gets Out.
The sultan was stirred by the
deepest emotion when his brother-in-
law. Damad Ferid Pasha, suddenly left
for Switzerland without bidding him
farewell.
In nationalist circles candidates for
succession to the imperial throne are
being freely discussed, but thus far
only three Of these are understood to

next. His vacillating attitude toward
the nationalist movement. however
has had tendency to ALLEVIATE him
