SHAME ON US

Even before the excitement had
simmered down FROM the sensational
news Of the 800, 900 suit filed against
the Governor of our State by his
former young lady stenographer, the
Governor in company with his wife,
ex- Governor Bilbo and about one
hundred members of OF the Legisla-
ture, boarded train ut J Jackson last
Friday for q junketing trip through
the State, visiting first the Columbia
School where the wayward boys of
state are tutored for improved NOR
ais, THENCE to the Normal School at
Hattiesblrg where the young ladies
receive the finishing touches as teach
ers for our children. At each place
the GovernOr was put up for the
first speech, and exhibited him self
splendidlE before these future men
and women of the commonw wealth.
Just why this hurryup trip, VIC do
not know, unless it was for the pur-
pose OF exhibiting this Hero while
the salacious exposure was fresh in
the minds OF these young people, that
they might get the full benefit of it.
The next step should be a photo
hung in the hall of fame, of the ex-
Governor, the Governor and each
member OF the Legislature in this
party, that future generations may
be reminded OF just how the people
acted back in these days of "morali-
ty' in high places. Say what you
wish to, believe the Governor guilty
or not guilty OF the recent exposure,
every honest man who respects his
State, must admit that il Governor
Russell is at all fit for Governor OF
the great State of Mississippi, he
would have busted himself in having
the Legislature investigate these
charges, that his name might be
cleared Of such, ins tead of galloping
over the State, in an effort to cover
1t up, Shame ON such a man; shame
on such Legislature; shame on a
State that will submit to such an
admission OF guilt by u man holding
it's highest Office. 1t requires no
prophetAto see where we are headed

"A Child's View

| think it's mean to be hept in school
Under the states eighty day rule"
The idea Of being between seven and
fourteen,
Just simply makes me want to
scream.
I'm tired OF doing SO many sums
And listening to the busy huns,
Of children heating sluggish brain
That good foundation they might
gain.
All day long that gaze intense
| hold my breath in grave suspense.
Questions are asked from eight till
four.
They never think it is bore.
I'd rather swing the big gray trout,
From out our old mill stream,
Or sit and.watch the birds fly out
Where the fields are green.
These are books OF easier lesson,
And will teach us more expression.
Each day a picture the earth unfolds.
Look at the pack, one great round
role,
OF mountains high and valleys deep !;
More perfect work you dare not
seek.
English, the very name suggests
Adjectives, verbs and nouns-the
pests.
lnfinitive phrases preceded by "ton
And the pronouns "whlch", that
and "who''.
The birds SO gay sing in the trees,
And sail down low, just to tease
1 try to smile and look so kind,
But gee! what passes thru my mind.
I'm going to take my books from
school
And slip away from the rule"
MY Pa. too, with me agrees.
Children should do just as they
please. Bessie Lane.

In celebrating his seventy seventh

full captains OF industry flashed this
message to his company's lO, 900 em-
ployes In all parts of the world:
Keep young by associating with
young Shings. The newspapers are
the youngest-born every day
The sender OF this message gradu-
ated from college So years ago. II
is John n, Patterson. chairman OF
the board ofdirectors Of the Nation-
al Cash Register Company. He still
actively directs the polices of the
company, which was founded over
half a century ago.
Here's good advice from a good
