Counties Can Donate 1000 to
Beauvoir Hospital.

While many are discussing and
some few are cESsing what the
legislature did and what it did
not do, ii might be we'll TO men
ton among the things it did do,
the enacting of one law which,
doubtless. will meet the approval
of the most exacting kicker. Ref
erenCe is had TO the law author
izing the boards of supervisors of
the 81 counties of Mississippi to
appropriate $1,000 TO build a
100000 hospital at Beauyoir. OF
course, the legislature had au-
thority first hand TO appropriate
this fund from the State treasury.
1t seems, however, that it lack
ed the political courage TO do it
in that way and showed their
hearts 10 be in the right place by
passing it along to the boards of
supervisors. Since it has gotten
thus far, and the hospital is
necessity TO take care of the sick
and dying confederate veterans,
it would seem almost an act of
ingratitude if any county in the
State should deny these old bat
tie SCARED veterans the gift of
81, 900 SO that they might be made
more comfortable in their declin-
ing years.
Hon. w. NJ. hampton, of Mag
nolia. Miss, donated $4,000 as
personal gift 10 build this hos
pital.
If an individual moved by pa
triotic sentiment and duty will do
this much. how easy ought it TO
be for every county in the State
TO donate the modest sum of
81 900 TO this most noble cause.

Judge D. w. Houston and the
Governorship.

Hon. Edgar S. Wilson in the
Memphis News-ScimiIar discus
sing prospective candidates for
the governorship. has the follow
ing to say about Judge d. w.
Houston, of Aberdeen:
Judge ID. w Houston. of Alb
erdeen. who was so widely mention
ed in connection with the govern
ship for many months, seems not to
have encouraged the opportunities
of his friends and admirers through
out the State, and it is understood
that he prefers to continue in his
profession rather than abandon it
and devote himself to official life.
1t is conceded that if Judge
Houston should enter the race be
will be a most formidable conten-
der. and that some of the other gen.
tlemen mentioned would perhaps
not only enter the race, but give
Judge Houston their support. AT
least, that is the talk, but little hope
seems to be held out by Judge Hous-
ton or his friends that he could be
induced to enter the race under any

Tax Payers League.

Some time ago a movement was
started somewhere in the State to
organize a State wide tax payers
league. 1t was contemplated that
there should be an organization In
ties should come together in a state
body and constitute the Mississippi
Tax Payers League. We have not
seen the constitution or rules by
which such an organization will act
and perform its duties, but if such
league is organized along the right
lines. with right motives in view
and has the right leadership. great
good will result from such a move
For years the Sentinel has believ-
ed that the average man has taken
too little interest in the affairs of his
government, has been too much in
clined to turn over the whole thing
to others and let them run it. The
sooner every citizen and tax payer
begins to feel that he is a stock
holder in the government and has
as much rightsas anybody else to
say how it should be run the better
it will bevfor the whole country. If
the masses of the people eyer be-
come thoroughly aroused to their
own interests and determine in their
own minds that they are going to
look after their own affairs and that
the men and women they select as
their officers shall be their servants
and not their masters, then indeed |
will we have a better government.
lower taxes and more freedom.
1t is true we have representative
form of government and we select
representatives. to act for US and yet
we, the people, are higher in author
ity than the representative we Sc
lect. He is the creature and is our
creation and it is our right to give
him some instruction as TO how he
should perform when dealing with
our affairs,
A tax payers league should be
constructive body. 1t should help
the officers in the proper enforce
ment of the law, report to the proper
authorities all waste, extravaganza
and mal-conduct observed by men,
bers. see to it that when public
money is expended that it is spent
for the public good and not wasted:
see that tax dodgers are brought to
time and not allow them to escape |
the payment of taxes by technical
evasion of the law. In fact there
are many things that a tax pay
ers' league can do that will be
helpful to the country, but tax pay
ers should see to it that the real
motives of the organization are not
subverted to selfish or political in
erests.-Southern Sentinel.

Not Prophecy But Fact.

Three OklahomianS claim to
have contriyed a machine that
will exteTminate boil weevilS
from the cotton plant in all stages
of the weevil'S growth.
A machine like that will ap-
pear TO most people much in the
same way that squaring the cir
Gle, or contriying mechanical per
petual motion does TO the math-
ematician or the philosopher
just contrary TO fixed laws. A
machine that will exterminate
boil weevils presents similar diff
ficultieS IN that determination is
just contrary TO the nature of the
bug. The boil weeyil is here TO
stay until he decides 10 leave,
and as long as people grow cot
ton TO keep him alive, he is going
10 stay. That's common sense
evidenced in the stern school of
experience. If you don't want
10 feed boil weevils this year,
don't plant much cotton. If you
plant a greater acreage than you
can pick the weevils from by
hand. or effectually poison. you
will grow more fat weevils this
year than you will lint cotton.
This is not a prophecy. its a fact.

A Courageous Declaration.

The Mississippi press as whole,
agrees with the editor of the
Starkyille News, and seconds his
attitude for law enforcement
against crime of whatever char
aCter, but how many of them will
follow his suit with similar COur-
ageOus declarations right off the
bat {? Do we hear any echoes:
the Starkville News stands for
the enforcement of the liquor laws
and for all laws against crime. etc.
If we did not we would be untrue to
our God. our home and our COM
munity. In our midst we have a
great institution of learning that is
preparing the future manhood of
this great state for their LIES work.
To these young men we owe an OBJ
legation to keep our community
clean and pure. 1t is our duty to
them, if for nothing else. to lend our
aid in driving out the violators of
the liquor laws. Nor should we
forget our paramount duty of keep
ing the community free from crime
for the sake of the children.

entire Yale squad in New Haven over
the week end. There were no injuries
resulting from the Bates game, but the
hot weather was responsible for loss

If the Newcastle United Ladies Foot

certainly disappointed, for the strong
team Of the Paterson Football Club, Of
the American Soccer League, in the
opening match of the American tour
al Olympic Park, in Clifton, N. j.,
yesterday afternoon defeated the fair
visitors, 6 goals to 8.
At that, the Patersons did not have
to extend themselves overmucn. Most
of the latter are familiar figures on
the metropolitan gridirons during the
fall and winter, and their success was
regarded as a foregone conclusion by
judges Of soccer form. Nevertheless,

and J. Canto, OF the Pastime A. C. De-
parting from his usual custom Zuna
did all of the early pacemaking, and
when they passed Forty second Street,

had about thirty-five yards on Dwyer,
Canto being twenty yards behind the

about three blocks behind the leader.
Kennedy made his first bid at Fifty

parsed Canto. Another block and he
had raced Dwyer into submission, and
now only the sturdy form of the plod-

Another Scrimmage for
Dartmouth PLAYERS

HANOVER, N. H., Sept. 24.-The
Green football squad was treated to
another scrmmage yesterday after
noon. With Larry Bankhart watching
the opposing lines, the scrubs and var
sty tore into each other for twenty
minutes. The coaches seemed satisfied
with the performance of the line, and
after the varsity had scored on the
scrubs they sent both teams to the
showers.
Leavitt, fullback on last years
freshman team, is now holding down
that position on the first team. Wright
and Bjorkman, also freshmen last
year, started at halfback and end in
yesterdays melee.
