The OzsLOOker

l One of the best proofs that can be 1 offered that winter is here is to go | to the Bridgeport Public Library on | Main street and see the increase in l the number of male patrons, both young and old, who spend the time | intervening between their various meals perusing books, periodicals and newspapers of all sorts. Up until two weeks ago these same men were walk ! ing the streets of Bridgeport or hang ing in groups on the corners but just as soon as the wintry blasts began to blow and there was a tinge of frost l in the air the men got restless and be- gan to look for a place where Jack Frost is a stranger.
 In former years many of them found their way into the various res taurants throughout the city but due to the unemployment situation many Of the men have not enough money in their pockets now to purchase even a cup of coffee. Hence the influx to the public library. There they are not only provided with warmth but three are also big comfortable chairs where the men may sit around and read the various books that are pro- vided for their enlightenment and amusement. Sometimes on entering the casual stranger will see groups of four and five engaged in a lively dis cussion of the days news. The Irish question, the armament question, the unemployment situation
 
 are all settled there day after day by these men
 The latest one of the motion pie ture colony to join the Fourth Els tate'' is George Walsh, former Ford ham and Georgetown football star. George is a member of the Hollywood colony and being a former athlete himself it was not only natural but in fact it would have been very un- ethical on his part if he did not wish to view the Big Game'' that was played on the coast New Years Day.
 Therefore the next move was for some enterprising editor of one of the larger metropolitan sheets to get in touch with George and see if he would not write a series of articles both on the different methods eTn- ployed by the coaches of both teams in getting their charges into the best of shape and also an article on the game.
 The name of George Walsh would not only add color to the story but his being a former football player himself would also add accuracy to the story and he would be able to give a good if not better description of the game than most of the sport writers who were present whose only from Walter Camps football guides.
 This was done and now George be- side being an aI1-around athlete and

 Bandits Kill Man." "Highwaymen Rob Grocer" "Stick-Up Men Active Again." These and many other head lines may be seen in practically any New York daily paper that one may read. Can nCc Bridgeport, a city that is so we'll known from one end Of the United States to the other sit back and congratulate herself on the feW eases of this kind that this clty mas experienced It is indeed remarkable that city that during the war en- ployed over one hundred thousand men most of whom were suddenly thrown out of work after enJoyIns the best in lGe for over two years can boast of a record of not having more holdups in over two years.

 Twelve years ago A. E Humphreys of Denver was sick and penn1less. To day his properties are estimated at $7O,000 900. Thereby hangs tale: When Humphreys lay on his sick beo just twelve years ego he naoe promise not to any living belng puI to God Almighty, his Maker, that 1T he got well he would devote all the money he made to religious work Now seventy million dollars Is lot of money when one thinks of it and it would take any ordinary human be- ing probably lifetime to spend it. In fact it is extremely doubtful if he would spend it in that length of time
 Humphreys has promised though, that he would spend it, and already has started by beginning a chain of missions extending through West Vir- ginia, Ohio. and Indiana He has also ., ,I,, v-<a1,< r16 Sunday schools in that vicinity. It is doubtful though that he will spend that seventy million dollars in rel1- gious work as he promised. Not that we in the least, doubt the mans in tegrity and honesty, but we do not believe that it can be done in such a short term of years as the human life generally averages. However, it will be an interesting experiment to watch and we for one hope that he fulfilIs his wish to die penniless.

THE INvINCIBLE SPIRIT,

Editor S. II. Ably, the redoubtable
head of the Crystal Springs Meteor,
announced immediately after the fire
that destroyed his office with its
contents that he would build brick
building to replace the old frame
structure and would install modern
equipment. Mr.. Ably, after receiving
a message from his son, Hulette Ably,
Of Alexandria, Mimi, and fully
comprehending its import, states
he has purchased typesetting ma
chine at an installed cost of $4,000.
The brick building to receive this
machine is expected to be completed
in so days. And SO the Leader feels
inclined to tender sympathy and con-
gratulations all at once. The Me-
teor will be published for the pres
ent from the Hazlehurst Courier Of
Ace. Editor Aby's spirit is expressed
in the following sentence: While
suffering great pecuniary loss the
writer feels that the town has been
beneftted by the calamity which has
befallen him." and again, "Fires
while they may inflict serious and
ofttimes Irreparable losses, are bene-
ficiai, for they ring out the old and
ring in the new"
An invincible spirit like Bro. Aby's
will surmount any obstructing cir
cumstance to a desired end.

MAGNOLIA HOME OF TWO JUDGES
ELECTED.

The nomination in the primary
Tuesday of Hon. e. j. Simmons to
be circuit judge of the Fourteenth
judicial District, and of Chancellor
Cutrer to succeed himself on the
bench of the Fourth Chancery Court
District, makes Magnolia the home
of two judges and gives her dis
tinction of which she is proud. Mr..
Simmons victory over Judge Miller
was one of the outstanding events of
the primary. His opponent had SER
we'd twelve years on the bench and
had many loyal and devoted friends
in the district. Knowing his oppo-
nent's popularity, Mr.. Simmons
friends here were rather doubtful of
his success when he first announced.
But the Magnolia man went into the
fight to win, and the thoroughness
of his campaign is indicated by the
statement that he travelled over TO-
600 miles in his canvass Of the coun-
ties Of Pike, Walthall, Lincoln and
Copiah. Unofficial returns give Mr..
Simmons lead of something like g.
900 votes. While Judge Cutrer's ma
jority over Senator Nixon, in the
race for the chancellorship, will not
be more than a few hundred votes,
it is sufficient to give him the nomi-
nation. Magnolia Loyalty and whole
heartedly supported both men, and
n 70 nj In ~ hi
home people. Magnolia Gazette.
The retirement of Judge Miller as
Circuit Judge is source of regret to
"the many loyal and devoted friends
in the district" as intimated by the
Magnolia Gazette. His twelve years
on the bench will serve as a memo
rial to his descendants of the service
he has given his people and of his
ability and fitness for the high Of
fee he has occupied. Lasting friend
ships for Judge Miller have been
formed in Brookhaven where he pre-
sided over the court and it will take
years of time to dim the conscious
ness impressed with the Judges re-
peated elections, that he was a part
of our city and of our citizenship.
Interest is expressed in his future
with every good wish for his happi-
ness and prosperity.
There can be no greater compli-
ment accorded Judge Simmons than
that he became the choice of the e.
lectorate over his predecessor.

THE WOMAN VOTER.

The primaries already held this
year have shown many surprises.
Many people are arguing, with some
reason, that these unexpected devel-
opments are to large extent the
work of a great new body of woman
voters, who are governed by points
of view and emotions somewhat diff
ferent from those that affect the ac-
ton of the male electorate.
Womans nature is different from
that of men. 1t is natural that in
making her choices in this new field,
she should be ruled by somewhat diff
ferent motives and intuitions from
those that have operated in the mind
of the male voter.
Political leaders who expect to
carry elections have before them the
problem of the mentality of the wo-
man voter, and adjusting themselves
to her tendencies and habits This
many of them have never done, even
in states where women have had suf-
frage for considerable period.
Women have always been credited
with quick intuition. They like
short cuts and become impatient with
methods. The circumlo-
cutions and side stepping of many
politicians will be distasteful to
them. If thing needs doing, they
will say why not do it? They will
turn down a man who hesitates and
tries to avoid his plain duty. They
will demand prompt action, and po-
litical leaders will either have to get
results, or get out and let some one
else try it.
Political leaders and statesmen will
be called on in these times for less
time serving, and for more direct,
prompt and courageous action, if
they are to satisfy the woman voter.
They must go ahead and do what
they think right. Previously they
have been afraid of offending this or
that element. If they let such appre-
tensions govern and restrain their
conduct, they will find themselves in
still greater peril from the woman
voters desire for action.
