Hon. j. X. Vardaman gave Sam
Jones % regular "roast" in his
paper, the Commonwealth, after
Sans recent lecture in Greenwood.
III Sam should take notion some
time to retaliate in kind, it would
be worth the price of seat in the
dress circle and q ride of hundred
miles to hear him express his
opinion of the brilliant long-haired
scribe of the Commonwealth.

The Late Unlamented.

L. Z. Frantz, the alert and OBJ
servant Jackson correspondent of
the Times. Democrat, makes the
following pertinent remarks con.
cerning some of the legislative ma
terial the people elected two years
ago:
"Some men sat through not only
this last session, but throughout
their terms and the three sessions
thereof without even opening their
mouths except to vote yea and nay
generally nay) and to request to
draw off their warrant. What in
the world is the use of sending
such an ignoramus to the legisla-
ture and paying him FIVE dollars
per day when he is not worth and
cannot and never did make more
than a dollar and a half a day in
their lives before, and that was
when they happened to get on their
county jury. 1t is not always the
man who talks the most who has
the largest amount of gray matter
in his head, nor is the good, safe
and valuable legislator always the
one who makes the largest number
of speeches per day or session, but
it may be put down as a dead
moral certainty that the fellow who
never opens the hole in his face ex-
cept to vote had better be at home
pulling the cord over old Beck or
splitting rails than to be sitting up
here in Jackson pretending to
make laws. Let constituents hold
their representatives to strict ac-
countabilitity, and if they cannot
prove that they have earned their
salary, keep them at home in the
future"

Theology and Politics Well
Mixed.

1t will he sad day for the
Church when her ministers take
more interest in politics than they
do in Church work. 1t will be a
sadder day than that for the
Church, and funeral occasion for
the cause of popular liberty, when
the Christian ministers of the
country become too piOus to love
their country, or their cOuntry'S
politics become too vile for them
to consider. No country can with
stand the complete domination OF
its political affairs by its citizen
clergy, but it is just as true that
that country whose Christian min.
listers and moral teachers hold
themselves altogether aloof from
its affairs of political import is
doomed to forfeit those large op.
portunities and liberties which only
the righteous can long enjoy, OF
deserve at all. "When the wicked
bear rule the people mourn," has
not lost its truth. Baptist Stand

The Yazoo Sentinel quotes
Father Wise, the priest Of the
Catholic Church in Yazoo City, as
saying that che had lived in
Yazoo City when it was wet and
since it had gone dry and no un-
biased person could fail to see the
Improvement, commercially and
morally, since the saloons were
voted out. He urged his flock not
to sign the petition, and warned
them that should the saloon be
voted into existence, no member of
his church could run a saloon and
hold a pew in the Catholic church."
