Liquor Control Needed

In all probability the question of legalizing the sale
of whiskey in Mississippi will come up during the
present session of the legislature.
If and when the problem arises we hope that we
have a Senator and three Representatives in Holmes
county who will have the courage of their convictions
and vote accordingly.
Any person alive to actual conditions in counties
throughout the state knows that we consume as much
or more whiskey per capita in this state as any in the
Union. We all know that Mississippi, in need of funds
to finance many needed functions of government, is
letting literally thousands of dollars in tax monies slide
through her fingers and go to other states while our
so-called leaders in government haven't nerve enough
to be honest and recognize conditinos as they are. In
stead they prattle of religion and moral concepts
and society"
The whole situation is that in the past we have had
lawmakers who haven't had nerve enough to vote
for something they think the church people in a COM
nunity would defeat by voting against.
But more important than that the reason they
haven't voted for the repeal of prohibition is that they
are afraid of losing their jobs as lawmakers.
We have three new representatives in Jackson.
Senator Watson was returned to the Senate. We be-
lieve they will all be safe in voting for their honest
convictions.
We believe that the people of Holmes county want
to have the opportunity of voting to regulate the sale
of whiskey so that it will eliminate all of the near-fifty
bootlegglng establishments we have supported so we'll
for the past several years. We believe they want the
benefit of local option.
A local option bill should be passed at this ses-
sion of the legislature. Then the counties that want
whiskey can have it and have it sold under conditions
that aren't conductive to conditions of vice that are
more terrifying to the average persons heart than the
mere sale of whiskey.
Those counties where the church-going people will
combine with the bootleggers and vote against the
legal sale of whiskey can continue to secure their sup
ply from the local bootleggers or go to an adjoining
county where it is sold in state liquor stores in decent
surroundings and at a profit to the state.
1t is time for Mississippi legislators from Holmes
and other counties to quit beating around the bush and
deal with conditions as they are in this state.

Cooperate With Governor

On Tuesday, January 16, 1910, Governor-elect Paul
B. Johnson will assume the high office of Governor
of the great state of Mississippi. Governor johnson was
elected following a campaign in which only one news
paper in the state actively supported him. WINE
there may have been other editors who voted for HIM
they did not say anything about it until after he was
elected.
We are glad to note that practically all the pub
fishers of papers, both daily and weekly, are fair-mind-
ed and big enough TO give Governor johnson the re-
spect and cooperation he is due as head of our state
government.
The first few days of the state legislature have
been marked by harmony and an atmosphere OF COOP
GRAFTON. 1t is apparent that our legislators are going
tive he is trying to achieve for the people of Mississippi.
All Of this is as it should be.
Those persons who are not big enough to take de-
feat gracefully, particularly newspaper editors, should
not inf1ict their nasty dispositions on their friends by
continually making cracks at the state administration.
It is very boresome and disgusting in some cases.
Taking pot shots at our governor just because he
doesn't have the same political affiliations as we do
and perhaps because we aren't personal friends is just
about as sporting as hitting a man when he's tainted
in a mud hole.
The least we can do to be worthy of being called
citizens of Mississippi is to extend to Governor Johnson
every measure of true friendship and cooperation pos
sible, standing ready at all times to aid and encourage
him in his fight to do great things for this state, so that
she can assume the place she rightfully deserves in our
nation.
Governor Johnson has a vision of great things for
Mississippi. Without our help and our prayers he
cannot accomplish these things. It is up to each of US
to do our part.
