On this, the highest Indian mound in Mississippi a monument wild be erected to De Soto. Dr. Rowland Is convinced that De Soto first Iteheld tl\e great river at Council Rend.

Detroit News. Not What It Should Be. A court should be a place of dignity and justice. There are nja n.v Ameri can courts that are neither. It Is a bad system that sub|H>enas workers. business men, active peo ple to c-oart, coniuTands their presence and then lets them set idle for hours or for days, doing nothing but wear ing themselves into anger and disgust at courts by reason of their ill treat ment. A judge who does not handle his court with regard to public rights should be removed. He wastes the time of workers and abuses goo<| citizenship. There would be more respect for the courts If the Judge* attended t<> their business. There would ho more res[>oot for the law If lawyers didn't promote procras tination. ? Roek Hill Record.

Hut lie insisted a newspaperman would eventually horn in on one of the presi dency of this great and headline-loving country. Yejus after Bryan kept trying to get by the White House gates until at last the gatekeeper collapsed from sheer fatigue and piped a feeble "Boys it's no use: we gotta let those, newspaper guys in t!f So on or about March i. 1021, a tried and true newspai?ermnn (more tried than true. If he has had the nor mal number of, libel suites in his ca reer) will walk into the White House, fire the old staff. put on a now gang, take over the business and editorial policy of the whc^le plant, and give America a snappy make-up and jazzy dispa.v that will restore its fast de clining circulation and appeal. Senator Harding, interviewed by wireless for this article outlined his views as a newspaper-president as fol lows : ' . "What the country needs is less stuff from its administration and a more zippy display of live-wire features -things to cheer the people up. If elected I'm going to stand on a plat form of fewer Illustrations of starving Europeans and more illustrations of native Americans actively engaged in eating the old 4."i cent luncheon. And I m off the charts showing the Polish fronts and the Ruhr valley. The p.M.ple want diagrams Showing a plain American citizen ? the p^aluer i the better ? -going from his office to i bis home on p.ly dm- With m... innnt ' darnijge to the old salary. And I'll have a cross marl; Hie spot where egg dealer sold eggs at good old price of 40 cents a dozen. We've gotta get hftck to human interest stuff and stop shooting over the h;?ads of the voters." fJovernor Cox had similar views. "As JL? li?avspMf>ef4mm ?

I'll give the front-page space to cuts of bathing girls. Leagues have a tempo rary appeal, but legs always get and hold the readers as any editor of u Sunday photogravure section will testify. "I'm going top tell my cabinet to can the old cuts gppicting attorney generals c'basing Bolshevists carrying bombs and who always turn out to be button hole makers carrying canteloupes. Let's give the<spnoe to groups of French actresses <J11 milling down the side of steamships on rope ladders In. a stiff hrceze. You get the Idea ? something to hit the people right smack between the eyes." Both candidates admitted they in tended to bring their cabinet oloser to the people by giving somebody like Babe Ruth a place on it. Unofficially Cox and Harding said they expected allota trouble making ap pointments to diplomatic posts. All the old time printers and- reporters will want appointments, fhey ventured, and wiU insist upon getting posts in Cuba, Rimni or Canada. Pay city taxes and avoid penalty.
