They realize how great would he
the benefits of the road, when con-
structeu to Mobile. They feel the
importance of tapping trade that
now fluids its outlet to New Orleans.
They believe this road is intended
to develop the resources of large
portion of Mississippi, as well as to
confer commercial Importance on

it shalt be built. They have been
seeking aid for this enterprise from

the line of the road is permanently
fixed at its crossing with the New

that place. working both ways, SO
that with the parties ut eacl! end.
construction will be pushed forward
from tonr distinct aud separate por

Who IS Jud9e Davis ?

Eeiow will be found brief bio
grapiy of Judge Davis, the Labor
Candidate for President. 1t is
from one of our exchanges and is
evidently correct:
Judge Davis was born in Cecil
county, Maryland, on March 3, 1915.
He graduated at Kenyon College,
Ohio. in 1882, and subsequently
studied law in Massachusetts. and
also at the law school in New Haven.
Conn. Removing TO Illinois in 1888,
he was admitted 10 the bar, and svOn
after settled at Bloomington, III the
practice of his pre- tession. He was
at one time Il conservative Henry
Clay Wing. In 1914 he was elected
to the State Legislature, i'll 1917,
served as a meL1ber of the State
Constitutional Convention of that
year, and in 1913 was elected Judge
of the Eighth Judicial District of
the State.-In 1855, and = ain i'll
1861, he was reelected 10 this
position.
lie had long been an intimate
personal friend of Mr.. Lincoln, and
as {; delegate to the Chicago Con-
vention of 1860, had i, large share
in securiL & his nomination for the
Presidency. The two had been
thrown much together by the prac-
rice of their profession in IA tiinly
populated country, and the intimacy
of them was of the closest and most
confidential character.
just as Judge Davis was entering
upon his third term us Circuit Judge
in Illinois, he was in 1862, appoint
ed by Mr.. Lincoln to the position
of Associate Judge of the Supreme
Court of the United States, which
position he still holds. Mr.. LIN
coin also appointed him his execut-
or, and the estate of the President
was wound up by Judge Davis.
At the time Of the iatter's ap
pointment to the Supreme Bench hi
was an avowed Republican, but Of
late Years his tendencies have been
decidedly conservative; and There
was considerable talk of his being
an available candidate for the Pre-
sidency on the Democratic ticket
His conrse on the legal tender cases
however-he having voted with the
ma joriry in May of last year, hold
ing the lGg;,Itender act to be con
stltutional-has served to estrangt
him from the Democracy, although
he has frequently, been mentioned
during the past few months as ;
possible Republican candidate wht
would receive the support of thu
"paSsive policy" Demccr ITS agains
General Grant. Judge Davis is :
ally is above reproach. But he ha
never been regarded as Il jurist o
commanding ability.

With this issue he writer becomes
u member OF the editorial corps of
the SOUTH WESTERN. Ii Is cnStO-
mary, on such occasions. for the M
coming editor to d-tine his position.
and map cut the line OF policy he
proposes to adopt. In ObPdIence to
this custom, we VIII state that lt
shall he our prrrogative to upheld
the interest OF the South against all
arbitrary assumptions OF power, anil
TO expose, with unSlarinS hand, the
d"spOi!c mi>ruie anl oppression OF
the Ahmi listratiUn, sanctioned and
sustained. as they are; by a corrupt
and venal Congress.
On all questions of Federal or
State politics, we shall express our
o, iniOns freely, frankly and fear
leSsiy, keeping always in view truth,
right and Justice. In any cOntro
versies into which we ma, he drawn
with those who differ from us in
opinion. we shall meet the issues in
II candid. courteous manner, iGnOr
ing all personalities, or anything
that would tend to compromise our
own self respect, or the dignity of
our journal. We hold that an editor
lowers the standard OF manliness,
and degra.les the character of his
paper, whenever he makes it the
medium of personal invective, or
political billingsgate. The theories
and principles that cannot stand the
test of rational investigation must
be false. and u" animadversiOnS,
growing out of personal or political
rreiudicc, can impart to them even
a semblance of truth, or entitle the m
to the least consideration.
We believe the principles and
policy of the Democratic party EN-
body the true doctrines of political
gospel. and we shall advocate them
as the only hope left us for ii reStOr
alton of the rights, privileges and
.mmunitieS of the n-trOdden
people of the South.
While. az il faithful ''sentinel on
: the watch tower of liberty" we shall
mark and expose all encroachmentS
on those rights AMI privileges, yet
we shall guard, with equal jealousy
the best interests of Louisiana,
shielding her, If possible, from all
innovations whereby her guarantees
under the Constitution may be I'M
pinged, either by executive malad-
ministratiOn, or the frauds and cor
ruptions of legislative enactments

part will he spared to make ON
paper faithful exponent of all
principles and issues involving the
rights aud interests oi the Sontll,
the State and community, and t.
render it. at all times, IL welcome
and agreeable visitor i'll the social

talked Of reputation, it stood fast
by the honor of the nation, and its
policy has amazed the world in the
rapid payment of the public debt.
1t has increased the revenues, while
it has diminished taxation; it has
settled a grave difference with a
foreign power, by the peaceful
methods Of arbiiration; it has
adopted an Indian policy at once
humane and successful; and dur
ing its admin istration of the Gov
ernment it has not only carried the
Republic successfully through a
terribly destructive war waged by
traitors against the Union, but ii
policy in peace has contributed to
an advance in the prosperity OF
every industry of the country un,

We ask every Republican to give
one day to his country. The nation
has learned, through the terrible
experience of civil war, the cost
of Government and Il policy UNI

of the whole people. The people
see and feel this. From every part
