POLITICAL LEADERS

Mississippi has moved off the
bottom rung of the nations eco
nomic ladder in at least one
category - that's teacher pay.
The federal census bureau re-
ported average for the 1888
school year was $2513. That put
us ahead of Arkansas, which was
last with S2513. Average for the
nation was S4324.
Despite our lowly economic
status, there's nothing wrong
with Mississippi that intelligent,
forward looking political leaders
couldn't cure in a few short
years. We have everything need
ed to make us second to none
except possibly square miles and
population. But at long as we
elect politicians who look back
ward instead of forward our re-

when a man considers himself

controversy. Standards have been
permitted to lapse over the years
however, and Americans once
again are doing some soul
searching on the question of eth
les in government and conflict
of interests.
Jefferson, according to histo-
rian ellison Willets, maintained
his rigid standards. For example,
huge cheeses were sent to him
but Jefferson insisted on paying
300 or more than the value of
the dairy product.
The two presidential ancestors
of Sherman Adams, John Adams
and John Quincy Adams, were
known for their high standards
of ethics. Gifts given to their de-
scendant for whatever purpose
would be in conflict with their
rigid New England standards.
The same would be true of gifts
received by President Eisen-
hover.
No record of these gifts has
been kept by the White House
but The New York Times has
compiled such list. Total value
Of the gifts has been estimated
in the neighborhood of S1-million
One reporter claims that Pres
ident Eisenhower "has received
more gifts than any other Presi-
dent during my 80 years of COW
ering Washington"
No one is suggesting that the
gifts given to the President were
attempts to win favors. This
would be bribery. But the entire
question of gift-receiving by pub
lie servants is serious, particu-

Directory should call the local
business office and make their
requests now, according to an
announcement made by OFT
Brockman, Office Manager for

is "Petal". Arrangements are be-

Brockman asked that Petal

And as long as we pay atten-
ton to the senseless and mis-
leading bombast that fills the
editorial columns of many of our
newspapers and is the underpin-
ming of every stump a two-bit

alcohol was sold. The sheriff
knew nothing about the raid,
Guard spokesman said.
So long as enforcement officers
and politicians tolerate the sale
of illegal liquor and some
times take a cut from the pro-
ceeds - and the state taxes it
on one hand and uses the Ma
tional Guard to prohibit it on
the other, we'll have situations
such as exist in Prentiss County.
That's why we believe an
open and realistic approach to
the problem is the only answer
that's local option and state
control. Actually the state is en-
couraging the more vicious type
of .bootlegging and .moonshine
peddling by constantly increas-
ing the tax on what is supposed
to be illegal.
AS of May / the sales tax on
liquor went from so to go. Add
to this the 1919 black market tax
and we have total of 1870.
That's a fairly substantial whis-
key tax for a dry state.
In reporting the Prentiss raids
a Jackson newspaper tells up
that possession of liquor in
Prentiss County is forbidden by
law" That's a startling piece of
information in one of the two
states in the Union ''dry" by
statute if not in fact.

about the situation the schools are
in; that maybe they are in a jam
because lot of other people Just
won't do their duty and pay their
bills. Now if nobody paid their
taxes, just think what our children
would be up against. No school,
no nothing; no right to be any
thing but ashamed of their county
and their people, and in their dis
gust happy to get away from it
all, just as soon as possible.
Snow how low down can we get,
We brought these children here.
We won't have bit of self respect
if we don't try to do something
for them. It's reflection of our
ourselves when we don't take care
of our own. We ought to be willing
to go without some things; we
ought to sacrifice until it hurts;
we ought to have enough pride to
see that the schools of our county
are the best there is. Have YOU
ever thought that about all the
education we can give 90 per cent
of our children is what they'll get
