TO INDEPENDENT VOTERS
A Terse Address Issued to the
Country by Anti-Imperialists.

The undersigned citizens of the
United States regard with profound
apprehension the course of the pres
ent administration in Puerto Rico and
the Philippines. Our prior acquisi-
tons we're of adjacent territory for
the extension of the area of constitu-
tional government and the creation of
new States Of the Union. We made their
few inhabitants citizens; our people
settled them; we there established the
institutions of freedom. For the first
time in our history it is now proposed
that the President and Congress shall
rule vast territories and millions of
men outside our constitutional system.
Officials sworn to support the Consti-
tuition and deriving all their powers
therefrom have acquired colonies and
assumed arbitrary authority to govern
their inhabitants without consent and
to tax them without representation.
This policy offers to the people of Pu-
erto Rico and the Philippines no hope
of independence, no prospect of Amer
lean citenzenship, no representation
in the Congress which taxes them.
This is the government of men by ar
bitrary power; this is Imperialism.
We believe that it is the first duty
Of the American people to stamp with
their disapproval doctrines so hostile
to liberty and dangerous to constitu-
tional government. If they are to re-
main free and their government is to
continue representative, their servants
must not have or exercise any but con.
stitutional powers. Between the claim
of freedom that all men are entitled to
equal political rights and the dogma
of tyranny that might makes right,
there is no middle ground.
I'VE have not prior to this year sup
ported the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan.
We do not now concur in certain of his
views on minor issues. Yet his posi-
ton on the supreme issue of the pres
ent campaign is so sound, and his ad-
vocacy of it has been so able and cour-
ageous that we now favor his election
as the most effective way of showing
disappreval of Nv. Nc Kinley's course.
Without claiming any special political
influence, we unite, for what our ex
ample may be worth to our fellow-cit-
liens, in this statement of proposed &C
ton in the presence of "a greater dan
ger than we have encountered since
the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
the danger that we are to be trans
formed from republic, founded on
the Declaration of independence 4,
guided by the counsels of Washington,
into a vulgar, commonplace empire,
founded on physical force.
"We invite the cooperation of all in
dependent voters to avert this great
and impending danger"
The address is signed by ex- Cover
nor Boutwell,, of Massachusetts, en-
Attorney General Judson Harmon, of
Ohio, Moorfield Story, Of Boston, Lew
Wallace, Jr., of Indiana, Senator
George L. Wellington, of Maryland,
Warren Olney, of San Francisco, Ed
win L. Godkin, of New York, and a
large number of other influential Re-
publicans and Gold Democrats, who
supported Mr.. Mckinley and Palmer
in 1896.

DISQUALIFIED OFFICIALS.

Public officers who default for poll
tax or move out of their beat, county
or district, ought to have quo warran-
to proceedings instituted against them,
and be ousted from the office to which
they are appointed or elected. A man
who would disregard the plain man
date of the constitution-tha quail
fled electors and none others are eligi-
BILE to office in Mississippi-ought to
have an example made of him that
would scarify him for life and leave
him with a burning yet deferential
resentment. The contention that a
man only has to be eligible when he is
indicted, and that he may default all
along the constitutional line thereaf-
ter, is too thin to wash. If this were
true, then man might be appointed
supreme court judge, while eligible,
and after his induction and his oath
to obey the laws and the constitution,
default for poll tax for nine years,
the tenure of the office, and yet ex-
pound the constitution, which says
that none but qualified electors shall
be eligible to office; governor, sworn
to enforce the laws, may have paid his
poll tax and be eligible at his installa
ton, and default for his poll tax for
four years, the full term of that office
If the delinquent debtor for a poll tax
can continue to hold the office to
which he was eligible when indicted,
why cannot the resident, the de-
faulter for public moneys and the fell
on do the same? The constitution is
not plaything; it is the dividing line
between order and Picayune
Mississippi Bureau.
The above is a subject that needs
looking into in this county. In the
list of delinquent taxpayers published
in last weeks LEADER, duly returned
and sworn to by the sheriff, we noticed
the name of one of the justices of the
peace of the county. 1t would be a
proper thing in such cases for the
Board of Supervisors to have the office
declared vacant and take steps to fill it
with man constitutionally qualified.

THE POLL TAX AMENDMENT

The OI>L IA dhEhD4hENI 81.
The matter of how the poll tax
amendment, if adopted, will affect diff
ferent counties is now being freely dis
cussed by the press and school Off
Gals. The views of State Superin-
tendent Whitfield have been generally
published. The Jackson correspond
ent of the Picayune says: Secretary
of State Power and Auditor Cole hav-
ing been requested by the county SUI
perintendent of Jones and other coun-
ties to do some figuring ON the subject,
have finished the following for the
counties of Jones and Bolivar. Jones
is largely white, and Bolivar very
largely black.
Jones County-If the State appro-
priation is 100000, less polls col
lected, and Jones county's proportion
is $1,000, less polls collected, $4,000, this
county gets from the State $1,000 less
$1,000, making 5000, which with the
polls collected and returned gives this
county $1,000 If the State appropri-
ates only $4,000, regardless of polls
Jones county would get $3.50, and re-
tain its polls, $4,000; it would then get
s9,25O, against present plan giving
$1,000 gain for the county of s2,25O
on the reduced appropriation by the
State.
Bolivar County If the State appro-
PIRATES 81 100000, less polls collected
and that county's proportion is s1S,-
600, less polls collected, $1,000, Bolivar
gets from the State $4,000, less $1,000
making $4,000, which, with polls col
lected and retained, gives the county
$4,000. If the State appropriates
$4,000 regardless of polls, this county
would get s13,500, and retain polls
$4,000, giving s16,5OO, against $4,000, OF
loss of 81, 800.
The State per capita will continue at
s1.70, SO that this amount viii go to the
counties according to the number of
educables. This and the poll tax col
lected will constitute the school fund
for the year.

REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.
Adopted by the Fair River Bap.
fist Association Oct. 20, 1900.


Year after year religious bodies all
over the United States are placing
themselves on record against the whis-
ky traffic; but each year the whisky
power tightens its Shiny tendrils
around people and government.
Where local option prevails, for
want of enforcement of the law, ille-
Ultimate selling of whisky is carried
on to an alarming extent; and the ''jug
trade" is so conducted, that almost any
one, regardless of age or literary abil-
ity, can get his gallon every Saturday
evening.
The whisky power is such factor
in our civil affairs that hardly anyone
can secure position by the franchise
of the people, unless he uses whisky
himself, or permits his friends to use
it for him.
Nations seem to have lost sight of
Christ, and Satan has availed' himself
of the opportunity extended, and
baited his angle with red liquor from
pint to pipe, as the occasion dem ands,
and is quietly drawing governments
and people hellward, excepting few
that have been tried and found true.
So strong is this power that in many
places ministers dare not attack it,
and churches are powerless to discip-
line their members, because some of
their most prominent ones are tipplers.
The efforts of this body at its last
sitting to secure legislation against
whisky, were futile, either because so
many of our statesmen love whisky
themselves, or we're elected by a con-
stituency who want more whisky and
cheaper.
am not a prophet nor the son of a
prophet, but unless our preachers,
seconded by the handful of total alb
stainers, speedily begin a ceaseless
and uncompromising warfare against
this traffic in all of its phases. it is
only a question of time until much
that is dear to us as nation and to
Baptists as a denomination, will be
lost forever. And unless the dram
drinkers in our churches are discip-
lined, the total abstainers will soon
have to declare themselves the church
and sue for the property, or the
churches will be rumsoaked to that
extent that they will lose much of
their power for usefulness.
would suggest that the churches
composing this Association declare So
cial dramdrinking church offense
and make strenuous effort to correct
their tipping members at once; and
that all of us make our influence felt
by withholding our patronage from
any one controlled by the whisky
power or in sympathy with any of its
features. Respectfully,
L. d. PosEY.
After full discussion, the Associa-
ton adopted the above report and in
connection Herewith and as part of
il, adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
body that no lawyer who defends any
blind tiger man is worthy of our pat
ronage.
Resolved 2, That we recommend the
churches composing this body to with
draw fellowship from every member
who drinks liquor as beverage.
| Resolved 3, That we ask the
churches composing this body to give
statistical report at our next meet
ing as to the number of total alb
stainers composing their respective
membership.
