COUNTRY EXPERIENCE.
A newspaper man who spent his
earlier life in a country town but
has since lived in large cities, Bays
he feels his years in rural surround
ings gave him a more valuable ex
perience of human mature than he
ever got in his city life.
In the country, he said, people
show up for what they are. You
come to know them intimately, you
become iptimate, you become fami
come along, they can see right thru
you understand their motives better.
There may sometimes be disagreeable
gossip, but there is much intimate
friendship and manifestation of sym
pathy and appreciation.
The country folks can read what
is going on inside of people’s minds
and they become keen in their analy
sis of human action. You can’t fool
the folks" who have had that exper
ience much. If fakers and bluffers
They do not become intimately ac
them, and are not swayed by super
ficial appearances.
In city life people live more -on
the surface of things. Their atten
tion is caught by the shows and
excitement and superficial glitter.
They do not see the inside of things.
They do not become intiamtely ac
quainted with people, and do not
have time in their rushing lives to
stop and analyze human conduct and
become Judges of human nature. As
a consequence they are more fre
quently deceived by false appearan
ces. People will attain positions of
much prominence and seem entitled
to them, when country people would
nnipUlv dptpnt- thplr nrtiflpifll find
hollow quality and attach little
weight to them.
The country town is a little sam
ple of the wide world on a small
scale. The man who has lived in a
country town has seen about all
forms of human mentality, and has
learned to size them up for their real
worth. His judgment is sounder on
political and civic questions, he-is
not so often fooled by demagogues,
nor is he deceived by false appear
ances in business and social life.
REDUCING THE TAXES.
If people are willing to get along
with poorer roads and schools find
unsatisfactory- public service, they
can get their local taxes 'down. If
the same efficiency is manifested in
public business that you expect in an
up to date • corporation, probably
most cities could cut their expenses
Bomewhat.
Federal taxes, however, are even
more difficult to get down, because
they consist so largely Of fixed charg
es that must be met. More than half
of the current expenses are going for
interest on debt, payments on prin
cipal, and care of disabled soldiers.
The United States wants to take
care of its disabled veterans if it
takes our last dollar. Money must
not be saved on this item except as
needless waste and extravagant
methods can be cut out without de
triment to the soldiers.
The costs of the army and navy
are still heavy, but with the pow
ers of Europe still shaking their
fists at each other, it is no time for
further steps toward disarmament.
If in a few years Europe should set
tle down and act like Christians and
sensible business men, perhaps our
costs for preparedness might be re
duced. For the present about the
only hope for considerable savings
lies in making such payments on the
' public debt that interest charges will
gradually fall off. Europe may pay
a little of her debt to us, but peo
m pie who expect that In the near fu
ture must be confirmed optimists.
These are times when small eco
nomies must be considered by the
government, and if we can not slash
the budget by hundreds of millions
as we would like to, we must cut
it what we can. The records of con
gressmen en the question of public
economy should be closely Btudied
during the coming campaign. Men
with business training are needed,
and candidates should be chosen
who expect to please the people by
economy and efficiency rather than
by distribution of pork.
1 • H
While there are many cases ef idle
men who have done the best they
cot^d and simply had hard luck, a
lot of of them have caused their own
troubles by their failure to make
good. They have done as little as
they could, have Bought merely to
"get by," They have never tried to
improve their work, Or made an ef
fort to accomplish things. When
there is a slow time in business, such
ones are laid off. The majority of
them are getting jobs now aB con
ditions improve. If they would take
bold with a will and t.ry to make
good they would Increase the produc
tion of the conutry enough so that
the business world could probably
afford to keep them employed right

HON. DEWITT ENOCHS FOR
CHANCELLOR.
Hon. DeWitt Enochs, of Jackson,
makes formal announcement In this
issue as a candidate for the nomina
tion of the Democratic party in the
August, 1922, primaries, as its can
didate for judge of the chancery
court of the fifth chancery district
of Mississippi, composed of the
counties of Lincoln, Copiah, Hinds,
Madison and Yazoo.
Mr. Enochs is a son of the late
Judge John R. Enochs, of Brandon,
and was born and reared in Rankin
county, Mississippi. He is in the
forty-second year of his life, is
married and'lias three children. He
is a graduate of Millsaps College
with the Bachelor of Arts ~ degree,
and of the University of Mississippi
with the degree of Bachelor of Laws,
and has had seventeen years’ ex
perience in the actiev practice of
law. n
Mr. Enochs located for the prac
tice of his profession in Simpson
county in 1905, and resided in that
county until in 1914, when he moved
to Jackson. .He was attorney for
the board of supervisors of Simpson
county for five years, resigning on
moving to Jackson, and recently was
for some time assistant attorney
general of Mississippi.
After graduating from Millsaps
College, Mr. Enochs taught school
for One year and then took the two
years course or law at the University
in one year. He was one of the
three in the class of 1905 to graduate
with "Distinction,” and the only one
to so graduate who took the two year
course in one year.
Mr. Enochs is a deep student of
the law, of an analytical mind, and
calm, cool and conservative in his
conclusions. He is that type of
man in whose hands at all times
could be trusted the interests of
both sides of any controversy, being
unbiased in judgement and governed
by the spirit of fairness in all things.
The duties of any office which might
be entrusted to him would be car
ried out with unusual wisdom and
impartiality.
POPULATION GROWTH.
Estimates have recently been made
that Chicago will become the world’s
big third largest city in the world
by 1925, passing Paris which now
fiolds third place. This remarkable
growth sets one to thinking of the
means by which communities attain
advance in population and prosper
ity, and whether smaller cities may
not, by showing something of the
same spirit, attain remarkable gains.
When Chicago was merely wild
prairie, Paris was an old city hoary
with time. Paris was founded back
in the days of Julius Caesar. Chica
go was laid out in 1820, and has
grown almost as much in 92 years as
Paris did in 2,000.
This growth of course has been due
primarily to its exceptional position
upon Lake Michigan, and its con
venience to a vast and fertile farm
ing territory. Still, if it had not
had a certain spirit, it could not
have attained its present size, and
other cities would have rivaled it
more closely.
Chicago spirit was best exempli
fied when it had its terrible fire in
district was largely rebult. The
community that will overcome diffi
culties and meet its disasters in that
way will not be held down to small
limits.
If you asked a Chicago man what
it was that had enabled his city to
make this marvelous growth, he
would probably say that it was faith
in the city’s future, plus determina
tion to overcome obstacles. Any'
city that will show faith and per
sistence, can make surprising gains.
Too frequently communities miss
feasible opportunities, because of the
“It can’t be done” spirit. We have
learned better in Brookhaven.
THE HOIVfE OF THE SOUL.
In olden times, it was believed
that the seat of the soul was the
stomach, most likely for the reason
that a man is never so completely
used up as when his stomach is out
of order. For the cure of ordinary
stomach troubles, there is nothing
quite so prompt and satisfactory as
Chamberlain’s Tablets. They streng
then the stomach and enable it to
perform its functions naturally. Give
them a trial. They only cost a quar
ter.
•In a recent report of the activities
of the Salvation Army, some one re
marked that there must be a tre
mendous amount of suffering owing
to the number of men who were loaf
ing around on the park benches in
one of th,e big cities. The Salvation
army man said that one third of
these idle men in that city are wor
thy. One third, he said, are ama
teur panhandlers, who have been led
to become such by the newspaper
discussion of unemployment, which
has led many people to give liberal
ly and not always wisely. And the
other third are professional panhand
lers who should be locked up,

tory as the most Infamous in the an- j
nals of the nation.” Mr. Stephens
stated that this same opponent not
only criticized and vilified the lead
ers of the Democratic party, but de-1
fended the Republicans against crt-1
ticism from the Democrats.
In defining the two parties, \Mr. j
Stephens said the Democrats stood i
for the rights of all the people and
that the Republican party stood for
the rights of the "interests" of Wall
street only. He said that the Re
publican party was the party Henry
Cabot Lodge, Warren G. Harding
and George Sylvester Vierlck.
Tou who followed those profan en
sf Democracy and voted for Harding
must hfflve .had your indignation arous
ed to the highest pitch against your
false leaders, when you read President
Harding’s speech at Birmingham, la
that speech he insulted every white
man, woman) boy and girl in the
South, when he advocated political
equality for the negro. You have heard
political leaders for many years past
speak loud and long on the negre ques
tion. You have known of-these lead
ers to be elected to office on that is
sue. I want to ask if you have heard
from any of these men any words of
condemnation of Harding and his ut
terance one-hundredth part as severe
as those same persons have uttered
against Wilson and the Democratic
party?
- As for my part, I would have ten
thousand times rather have been

American minority -that went

that mongrel union of discontents
led by Henry Cabot Lodge, daddy
of the Infamous force bill and
other hellish schemes, and George
8ylvester Veirlck, who boasted
that six million Germans voted fer
Harding.
The speaker told of his standing
in Ills own community, saying that
he was elected to Congress t\vo terms
without opposition, and - that the
three terms he was opposed his vote
Increased with each election until,
on the last election, with two oppo

received the greatest vote of his ca
reer. He said he spoke of it to show
that the people of his own neighbor
hood thought of him, as an answer
to some of the statements made by
his critics.
Critic* Within the Party.
Going back to the subject of critics
within the Democratic party. Some
even*, regret that they purchased Lib
erty Bonds. In this connection, I want
to call your attention to the fact that
during the time of war the Socialists
In their national convention at fit.
Louis declared: “We pledge ourselves
to oppose any attejnpt to issue bonds.”
To say the least of it, this was moral
treason to the United States. That
convention was dominated by men liko
Victor Berger, who were openly sym
pathizing with Germany. You can
have no patience with any man who
expresses regret that he did not fail
to support his government; who says
that he regrets that he did not keep
his money in his pocket and allow our
gallant soldiers, perhaps your own
boy, to suffer for the want of food and
clothing, or allow them to be butch
ered on the fields of France because
they were unarmed. If such a senti
ment had been expressed in your pres
ence while your son was in the army,
It would have been unhealthy for the
man who said it; and I feel sure that
you resent it now.
One of the results of the constant
criticism and-complaint by the dis
gruntled Democrats, who might be
more properly called “assistant Ro-,
publicans,” was that a very large vote

Democrats voted for Harding. Why
was this? The answer is easily given.
Men whom they bad followed and wor

In criticism of the democratic party
tnat their faith in It was shaken.
&gain, they were led to believe that
:he prices of cotton and other prod
acts would advance If Harding were
sleeted president.
These good men were duped and
misled. They were caused to violate
:he teachings of their fathers and to
ibandon the convictions of a lifetime,
roday many of them are ashamed of
it; all of them regret It. Harding was
sleeted, and what was the result?

of Wall Street, and his active service
on the first good roads commitee ev

In speaking of the war, ttfe part
America took in it, and the reason
for entering, he said:
There was nothing petty or mean
or mercenary in the spirit that caused
us to enter the war. Ours was not a
war for conquest or glory. Our action
was Inspired by the highest patriot
ism. The ark of liberty was endan
gered. The institutions of the repub
lic were threatened. We fought that
liberty might continue as an active
principle; that democracy might sur
vive. The people of the nation went
whole-heartedly into the war. I thank
Go'd that the spirit of the patriots of
1776 still lived in the people of the na
tion in 1917; that there was the samo
love of liberty, home and country, the
game willingness to sacrifice even life
itself in their defense.
No Braver 8oldiers Ever Marched.
No braver soldier ever marched to
war than the American soldier in the
world war. Though untrained in war
fare, he had intelligence, a patriotic
spirit, the power of initiative, a cour
age that made him forget that he had
ever heard the name death and made
him turn terror into spqrt. When our
boys stepped upon the soil of Europe,
William of Berlin saw the same mys
terious characters that Belshazzar
saw at Babylon. His doom was sealed.
In vain did he implore the shades of
Bismark and Von Moltke for help. He
was taught by the soldiers of this na
tion a lesson that has been true since
civilization wrote its first part in his
tory, that no one nation shall ever be
allowed to dominate the earth. We
owe a debt of gratitude to these mag
nificent young men that we can never
repay.
But we can never forget the efforts
of the women in this dreadful time.
In Innumerable ways their hands
found employment. In many acts of
self-denial, their love of country met
the test of sacrifice without murmur
or complaint. Among the wounded
over there they were ever present to
uumiun, auuiue u,nil ueip. Al nome
their hands were busy, though their
hearts were heavy. In the lonely hours
of the long nights, at many a fireside
In the homeland, they reinforced our
cannon at the front with an unshaken
trust in God; and upon bended knee,
they assaulted the gates of Heaven
with prayer, until Jehovah’s lightnings
were unloosed and victory was
achieved.
After pointing out what he term
3d the reactionary attitude of his
jpponent, Mr. Stephens summed up
what course he expected to pursue if
sleeted to the Senate. He said:
8URE3T HOPE OF PEOPLE.
Believing that the surest politi
cal hope of the people lies in the
principles of democracy, I will, If
elected to the Senate, apply the
straight-edge of truth and Demo
cratic principles to every question.
I think that I did during the ten
years that I was a member of Con
gress. I am willing for you to in
vestigate my record. You will
find, I am confident, that I was al
ways true to the best Interests of
the people and the party. You will
find that my feet never strayed
from Democratic paths and wan

Republicans for the defeat of,a

The Leader Printe Envelopes,
CRAB APPLE’S COLUMN
OP SATIRE AND HUMO]
Spiritualism, Prohibition, Politid
Law of Compensation and Other
Subjects Discussed.
A mixture of slugs, brimstone an
sulphuric acid was started on its wa
to the Leader office several week
dgo. but it seems that it failed to ar
rive at its destination, so our reader
will never know what they misse
by its non-apeparonce.
Do unto others as you would hav
others do unto you, sounds ver
beautiful but too many want you t
do as they would have you do.
Crop prospects over a large are;
are gloomy indeed, and it looks not
like next year will place many in i
lower scale of poverty. But so lom
as you get enough to eat and wear
what more do you need? Answer
please.
^Timber murderers are in this vi
cinity and their work is almost equa
to a cyclone and overflow. Whil<
"constructiou” is going on in thesi
United States, destruction is follow
ing closely. But there can be n<
construction without destruction
lhlnk It over.
Last Wednesday’s Leader statei
that "the large Men’s Bible Class ol
the Baptist Sunday school voted u
nanlmously against Sunday basebal
last Sunday morning." We’d lik<
to know why this discrimination!
We also notice in the same issue thal
Judge Weathersby is able to “run!*
. Well, it’s good to be able to run
We are now passed the half centurj
mark and can create quite a breeze
on a hundred yards stretch, but il
we were to “run” for office the oth
er fellow would create wind enougt
- to blow all the votes away from us
We’d rather have the "7-year itch’
than try to serve the public without
getting "cussed.”
That was a whopping check thal
Jackson presented to Parson Gypsj
Smith, and some one heard us remark
that it beat farming all to pieces
But let’s see about this, and other si
milar contributions. This is an jtg<
of grab and snatch, knock down anc
drag out. Do the other fellow to a
finish and then give a small per cent
of it to “the Lord’s work” with tht
false Idea that you have done right
Now note carefully what we say. A
heavy per cent of contributions foi
charity and other good causes, are
morally speaking, illicit contribu
tions, and the credit will eventually
be given to those who have been “le
gally” robbed. Now, stir that in
your coffee and drink it.
Spiritualism seems to be gaining
rapidly, notwithstanding the vigor
ous opposition from those of ortho
dox persuasion. It seems that bright
minds, like those of William T.
Stead, who was lost on the Titanic,
and Sir A. Conan Doyle, famous au
thor of Sherlock Holmes, and other
noted men and women are firm in
their belief, and even assert that
they have communicated with friends
and relatives in the spirit world.
Very interesting reading. But we
are from Missouri and when we are
accorded the privilege of communi
cating with some one who is In the
spirit World we will value such ex
perience far above all the wealth in
this world. We neither deny or en
dorse the claims of the spiritualists,
but if their views and beliefs satis
fy them and comfort them, then they
surely entertain the right belief, or
rather a belief that suits them. It is
futile to try to entertain a belief
that you don’t believe, and humanity
never was of the same mind pertain
ing to spiritual belief, but there are
some creeds that insist that they are
right and all others are wrong. That’s
what you might term ego! *
Now it seems a mooted question
whether national prohibition is a
succesd or not. Of course, it’s a
howling success for a certain class.
Physically, the average booze guzzler
is better off without the snake juice
but financially and ninrallv it ic in.
deed a question as to whether a vi
per has been exchanged for a devil.
This writer has thought long and
seriously over the prohibition move
ment and he has wondered where the
bug was hidden. We are surprised
to see this bug appear suddenly and
undisguisedly. Money, Money. What
movement is advocated and pushed
in this age where money is not the
main incentive. YcTu may dodge and
try to warp the question in every
conceivable shape but money will
loom up as the glorious factor. Po
licy, greed and a total disrespect for
the golden rule is changing the hu
man family into moral swine and
vultures, and the penalty will be
paid in reality before we can re
trench.
We’ll write on and tell what our
vision reveals to us but we don’t ex
pect a certain class to pronounce It
anything but nonsense. The gov
ernment, state and even counties are
awfully spmpathefic and want to
help the producer produce more.
They want to show him and they en
treat him to exert every muscle In
his body to produce more and, the,
average producer hasn’t any bettdr
sense than to try to do what he is
told to do. He might doubje and ev
en tribble his production,' but he
would come out on an average like
he always does, but he is the main
factor in the world’s business and
is a docile jackass.
God’s laws,- and man-made laws
should harmonize in many ways, but
man made laws can be warped and
twisted in various ways to suit the
“case.” Often we have seen the
guilty slip through a little crevice
in the law and we’ve seen mhny,
much less guilty get a full dose/ But
all debts have to be paid sooner pr
later, and the guilty who escapes his
just deserts will get them some time,
somewhere, somehow. That law of
compensation is absolutely sound,
and there! are no “slip gaps” to it.
Yes, sometime, and somewhere there
iuuhi ue a sememem Dotn for good
and bad and the more your debts are
the harder your penalty. Amen.

RECOMMEND# CHAMBERLAIN’S
TABLETS. -
"Chamberlain’s Tablets have been
used by my husband and myself off
and.on for the past five years. When
my husband goes away 'from home
he always takes a bottle of them a
long with him. Whenever I have
that heavy feeling after eating, or
feel dull and played out, I take one
or two of Chamberlain’s Tablets and
they fix me up fine,” writes Mrs.
