TOWARD THE FETE RE.
There are awful crimes committed
at this present time. There are mur
ders and robberies and blasphemies
aud lives blighted by sin and shame.
Let us examine ourselves and see if
we can't do something toward setting a
higher standard for the future. Is
there anything in the following?
Parents, who are unworthy the name,
threaten their tender, impressionable
children with “I'll kill you,” or “I'll
break your neck,” and like extreme
expressions* they permit their children
to enter their neighbors' premises and
appropriate what is not rightfully
theirs and call it "cute” aud funny:
they greet a startling piece of news as
an every day occurrence, for that
matter, with the taking of the Lord’s
name in vain “My God," “For God’s
sake,” etc., they curse and swear in
the presence of their children: and be
fore their pure-minded little ones,
who are as susceptible to influences
about them as a rose is to atmospheric
conditions; they gossip and tell things
lewd or obscene, which as surely affect
the unformed characters of the young
as the worm affects the fruit it gnaws
at the core unseen. In other words,
“They snap the delicate, tender threads
Of their curious lives asunder,
Aud then Maine Heaven for the tangled ends.
Anil sit to grieve and wonder."
Many a father and mother, foolishly
fond, have lived to wish the coffin lid
had hid their child from sight ere he
was befouled by sin, that often is but
the outgrowth of the influences of in
fautile years. There are exceptions,
but we insist upon a more religious
adherence to the purity of every day
living. Can a stream rise higher than
its source? is it not the little foxes
that spoil the vims? Will not the men
and women of the future emanate from
the homes of to day? Let us examine
ourselves and exalt the standard as
far as in us lies.
Negotiations are on, looking to the
purchase by Millsaps College of the
adjoining property of Jackson Col
lege, aud in case the deal is consum
mated the Millsaps plant will be uu
surpassed by that of any college in the
South. The Jackson College property
consists of about forty acres of laud on
the car line, of one of the finest col
lege buildings in the State, of a hand
some residence aud of sundry other
improvements. The Millsaps College
people feel that with this acquisition
they can offer the best educational
advantages to be had in Mississippi.
The Mayor of Chicago ordered the
police of the city last Wedoesday to
prevent Emma Goldman's lecture at
that place. On that day, for the first
time since the murder of the Presi
dent, the Anarchist organ, Free So
ciety, was issued. It showed no re
spect for tha memory of the dead or
the grief of the public, but the lead
ing article was a review of C/.olgosz’s
crime by Emma Goldmau.

A MOW ME XT To n>l.. POWER, j
The Clat ion-Ledger launches a
laudable movement to erect a uionu
ment to the memory of the late
Secretary of State Power in the fol
lowing leader editorial:
The Clarion-ledger proposes to the
press and people of Mississippi that a
memorial shaft be erected to the mem
ory of the late Col. .1. L. Power, the
Ne'torof Mississippi journalism, atitle
by which he was known and beloved
by members of the craft, and an hon
or in which he felt a pardonable pride.
The Clarion Ledger, after a mature;
| consideration of the subject., has de
| cided to launch this movement, believ
ing that it is fitting for the plan to
originate in the paper with which the
deceased was so long associated, and
through the columns of which he
achieved his greatest distinction as a
journalist.
In this labor of love the co opera
tion and assistance of every news
paper iu Mississippi is asked, and the
Clarion Ledger believes that they will
join iu the laudable movement.
It is desired that the monument be
erected through the efforts of the
newspapers of Mississippi and their
subscribers, and in this way it will be |
representative of the entire people of
the Commonwealth in which Col.
Power was so widely esteemed and
beloved.
lo mis elm me Clarion-ueuger
would suggest and request of every
newspaper in Mississippi to open its
columns for a subscription list to a
fund for this purpose, and to use its j
best efforts in collecting a fund from
the people of its county.
The newspaper should head the list
with a subscription as liberal as the
means of the editor will allow, and the
Clarion Ledger believes that the e ii
tors will take up the great work and
make it a success iu every part ol
M ississippi
No tribute could lie too glorious, no
monument too towering, no shaft too
magnificent, to honor the distinguish
ed (load. His name is enshrined for
ever iu the hearts of the people, and
will he loved and revered for genera
lions to come. But generations come
and generations go, and time in its
ceaseless flight pauses only to think
of those whose memory has been per
petuated for all ages to come iu stone
and bronze.
If a suitable monument can be
erected to Col. Power through the
efforts of the Mississippi press, it will
be one of the greatest achievements
ever recorded in the history of Missis
sippi journalism. It is a deserving
labor and worthy of universal en
dorsement.
The Clarion Ledger will subscribe
£50 toward the Power memorial monu
ment, and print from day to day the
names of all the subscribers to the
fund.
Let other newspapers of the State
open their columns for subscriptions.
Send in your subscriptions mid
let the good work continue at
once. I f you can't give a large
amount send a small one. The wid
ow’s mite is equally as acceptable as
t he larger donation of the capitalist
All should give something to the noble
work in honor of one of the State’s
most useful citizens.
The Leader heartily endorses this
proposition of the Clarion Ledger,
and earnestly hopes it will meet the
active and cordial co-operation of the
press and people of Missisissippi, as it
should. In accordance with the Clar
ion-Ledger’s suggestion, we today open
a subscription list in The Leader for
the Power Memorial Fund and invite
subscriptions to same, either large or
small. The names of all subscribers,
with the amount contributed, will be
published, from time to time, in this
column and all funds collected duly
forwarded.
Col. Power was a humanitarian in
the best and broadest sense. So
ready was he always to help to the ex
tent of his ability all who appealed to
him for assistance in any way, that
one could but conclude that he found
his greatest happiness iu serving and
being useful to others. Whether call
ed upon to meet the ordinary demands
of friendship, assist and nurse a sick
or wounded comrade in arms, help the
dependent widow and orphan, organ
ize Howard Associations and collect
and distribute funds for the relief of
plague stricken communities, give of
his time and ripe experience for the
instruction or pleasure of his press
or Masonic brethren, or to discharge
the highest duties and responsibilities
of patriotism and good citizenship,
no draft was ever made on L. Power
that he did not promptly honor.
We think it specially appropriate
that the subscriptions to this motiu
meut should be small and numerous,
rather than large and few in number,
so that everyone may bo allowed to
participate in honoring the memory
of such a man. We hope the heads of
our public schools and colleges and of
all the Sabbath schools of the State,
of which Col. Power was the ever
faithful frieud, will take the mat
ter up aud give all of their pupils the
opportunity to contribute their mites
to the worthy object. If all of the
orphans of Mississippi he helped: ail of
the yellow fever sufferers aud the cliil
dren of yellow fever sufferers he
aided iu their extremity; the repre
sentatives of all the public iustitu
tiou and enterprises he befriended and
encouraged: all the men and women
and boys aud girls who have been the
beneticiaries either directly or indi
reotly of his great-hearted, unselfish i
service would contribute a dime each |
to this fund, it would build a menu- '
merit to bis memory the like of which :
for grandeur aud beauty is nowhere t >
be found iu the State.
The people of Mississippi may well
make an exception by thus honoring
the memory of this broad-minded, i
great-hearted Christian, philanthrop
ist and patriot, for, take him all in
all, the State is not likely to ever num j
ber another J. L. Power among her :
sons.

from the nearest railway station and
about twenty-live miles from the near

ed with the custom of farmers within a
radius of thirty miles, to many of
whom I have supplied Chamberlaiu's
remedies. All testify to their value
iu a household where a doctor's advice
is almost out of the question. Within
one mile of my store the population is
perhaps sixty. Of these, within the !
past twelve months, no less than four- :

,-t word to yor.\a mes\
We like to see our young men in
dustri >u* and desirous of Attaining a
hu-itu ss status in this | raetic <1, work
a day world, by making money, but we
do think that many of them, where
they have the opportunity and moans
• if acquiring a scholastic education
are making a grove mistake in leaving
behind too early their school books.
The parents of these boys are not to
blame, for their sons are far enough
advanced in life to appreciate the situa
tion: but like Jerusalem of old they
“will not," and there the matter must
end, however serious the results in the
lives of the boys. A homely old adage
is true: “You can lead a horse to
water: but you can't make him drink."
We do not wish, however, to discour
age these young men whose ambition
does not lead them into ouronlbges
or 1111 i\ ersities: but would r< mind them
that there is a broader school they
may enter and one of more moment
even than all the culture of the world
combined, and that is the School of
Morals, where Character is made.
Boys, ii you won't polish and improve
those intellects of yours, for your own
sakes. if not for your Maker's or your
parents.' keep your lives pure and
hands clean of the immoralities that
are getting to be stilly common among
you. If you will neglect your minds,
you can Kt ep yi ur m arls pure, you
can save your souls and you cm take
care of jour bodies, which are God's
templis. In other words, you canes
ope the effort the acquiring of an ed
ucation requires, and the authority
attendant upon the mastery of the j
prescribed mental w< rk; but there are i
responsibilities under which you wire!
horn, that you never can escape and
never will. They will follow you to
Kteruity itself; and more than that,!
they will tell to the world before you |
h ave it. how you have met them.
Young man, think on these things;
and value yourself as a creature of
God and the beloved son of parents
who would make any sacrifice for your
best inter* st s.

The Times Democrat's Jackson cor
respondent says;
It is feared that there will be no
football team at Millsaps this year, in
spite of the rapidly growing athletic
spirit of that institution and the
favorable attitude of the faculty.
During the summer months 7 Metho
dist conferences have met over the
Slate and endorsed the views of the
two conferences condt inning football
in general and the sport at Millsaps
in particular While the faculty and
trustees are both said to lie in favor of
theathleties.it is feared that this de
nominational opposition will prevent
the formation of a team.
It strikes its that the faculty and
trustees of Millsaps and other col
leges who hold the views they are
credited with, are clearly wrong and
the Methodist conferences right on
this subject. We hold to the idea that
boys and young men attend College to
educate their min Is, morals and man
tiers, rather than practice athletics
and engage in gaums which tend to
rowdyism and inevitably contribute
to the spirit and practice of gambling.
Especially ought this view to apply to
institutions which are supposed to be
conducted by moral and Christian
teachers under the patronage of re
ligious denominations.
In brief, our view of the matter may
be summed up thus: While baseball
and football may be properly prac
ticed and indulged among the stu
dents of individual colleges on their
own college grounds for recreation
and amusement, when it conns to
inter collegiate and inter state con
tests, resulting in much loss of time
from books and no end of distraction
to the whole student body, and attend
ed with betting and even drunken
ness and debauchery while the stu
dents are off on these larks, it is an
entirely dilieront matter and inconsist
ent with institutions of the preten*
sions of Millsaps and other denomi
national colleges, and with the best
college discipline and work, in any
case. The young man who demands
this sort of thing as a necessary ad
junct of college life, has no busi ;
ness at college, lie had fur hotter go
to braking on a freight train or cut
ting cord wood.

TLm Pieajuni's Mississippi Bureau
notes the fact that Dr. \V. T. Lowrey
is makiug a sucessful canvass for the J
endowment of Mississippi College.
With such a man and such a cause J
failure is out of the question. Dr.
Lowrey raised 81.-8- in the First Bap
fist Church of Columbus, Mississippi,
for the endowment of Mississippi
College. The work assigned to Dr.
Lowrey by bis trustees and denomi
nation for this scholastic year is to
increase their endowment to 8100,000.
They have 810,000. The American
Baptist Education Society lias agreed
to give 81*>,000, if the other 81’>,000 can
be raistd in cash or good legal notes
by July 1, l!*o-J. About 810,000 lias
already been subscribed, aud Dr. Low
rey feds hopeful t.f success. There
are a hundred thousand white Bap
tists in Mississippi. It would be a
great pity if they should fail to see
and seize this great opportunity. If
400 men would give 81**0 apiece, the
amount would be more than raised.
Success to this worthy undertaking.

Increase of Certain Crimes.
In spite of the assertion made by
lyneb-law advocates that horrible aud
quick punishment will prevent the per
petration of certain crimes, we have
daily illustrations that the reverse i
theoase. Wholesale murders and burn
iugs of innocent as well as guilty ne
groes gives publicity to the crime com
mitted which fascinates rather than
frightens the more depraved class of
negroes. No oue will deny the asser
tion that the publication of any kind
of lawlessness tends t» increase its
practice. This was fully exemplified
a few years ago when a deed was com
uiitted in Memphis which was so re
volting that it had u > parallel. As
soon as it got aeee-s to the columns of
the press, however, it was not uncom
mon to read of similar occurrences.
Our theory is to make the publica
tion of crimes of this character a felo
uy. We believe this and industrial
education of the negro will do more to
prevent the commission of the deed
than all oidier agencies combiued.
Besides this the exclusion from the
papers of such vile matter would have
a most beneficial effect on all classes
of people. 1‘urt Oib»on Ktveilk.
