LEADER, in order that no injustice
might be done him on that score.
Now il, as might be inferred from
this recital Of facts and what was said
last week in connection with the Sun
day law violations, Constable Magee
can make and unmake State law, and
newspaper man in Brookhaven can
not refer even in an impersonal way to
the short comings of any police off.
cial without subjecting himself to a
thrashing at the hands of the chief
police officer of the city, things must
have come to fine pass indeed, and
one that might we'll arouse the people
to sense of the seriousness Of the sit
uation.
However, as Constable Magee is not
lawmaker in fact nor the only official
the people can depend upon to enforce
the law; and, as we learn through mu-
tual friends that Marshal Applewhite
disclaims any intention of trying to
mczzle the press, THE LEADER refrains
from saying some plain things it would
otherwise say in this connection. The
Marshal has clearly laid himself liable
to suit on his bond and possibly i'm
peachment; but, as we understand he
acknowledges that he acted rashly and
made grave mistake, we hope no such
step will be taken unless there is fresh
provocation hereafter.

STATE OF MISSISSIPPI,

Personally appeared before me, ]. B
Daughtry, Mayor of the City of Brook
haven, Miss, B. T. Hobbs, editor and
publisher of The LEADER, newspaper
published in said city, who, being duly
sworn, upon oath states that the fol
lowing paragraph which was published
in said newspaper in its issue of June
II, 1901, is correct and true report of
a statement made to the said B. T.
Hobbs, by ]. Hardy Magee, a Constable
of District No. /, Lincoln county,
touching the subject matter of said
paragraph, to-wit:
A LEADER representative interview
ed Constable Magee this morning and
he gave as reason for saying what he
did to the BARRIERS that he was not re-
ceiving the support and cooperation
he should from other local officials in
his efforts to enforce the laws, nor
| from many citizens who could give val
liable aid in this direction, and, as a
consequence, he was on big disgust.
Then he went on to say, as proof of his
assertion about the delinquency of
other officials, that though they knew
the BARRIERS had openly violated the
law, not one of them proceeded to
make affidavit against any Of them,
but waited for this to be done by a
private citizen.

A Statement From Prof. scott.

| EDITOR LEADER: 'Dear Sir-On last
Saturday morning, in answer to in
quiry on the subject, l made the fol-
lowing statement to Marshal Apple
white concerning an unimportant but
slightly misleading paragraph which
appeared in THE LEADER of May %:
"Mr. Hobbs, who was not at home
during commencement week, asked
me about the reported bad order dur
ing the public school commencement.
told him that the order was good ex-
cept on the first night: that the Off
GERS had been requested to be on hand
that night but failed to come. l did
not think to explain to him why the
officers did not come, but when his
write-up appeared l called at THE
LEADER office and explained that the
officers were present except on the
first evening and that no blame at
tached to them for this failure, as they
were prevented by sickness. Mr..
Hobbs was not present when l made
this explanation, but Mrs. Hobbs said
they would correct the error in the
following issue. 1t seems that this
was not done; or, if so, l failed
to notice it. l made this explana-
ton to Mr.. Crawford some time since
and intended making same to you but
forgot to do so. did not want you
and Mr.. Crawford to think that did
not appreciate the assistance you rem
dered me by your presence during
commencement"
Yours very truly,

4 DEATH PENALTY for drunk
n enness seems to be stretching
it too far, but that Is praeti-
cally what happened in Germany last
week. One army lieutenant found
another in the last stages Of inebria-
ton. He attempted to play the good
Samaritan, but the drunkard wouldn't
have it. In the scufie that ensued
he struck his friend in the face.
Next morning the inebriate was
notified that he must fight duel with
the man he had struck. He didn't
remember striking anybody, he
couldn't recall anything that hap
pened after ne took his final drink.
but honor had to be satisfied. An
apology was offered, but a military
court of honor decided that it could
not be accepted. A duel must be
fought. It was fought and the lieu
tellaIlt WHO nad been intoxicated was
killed.
On the same theory man who
walks in his steep might tread on the
eorns of another and pay the penalty
with his life in duel. He would be
no more responsible for the insult"
than the victim in the case in point.
It certainly looks likes case of MUIR
der under a misguided notion of the
definition of honor
At the same time the occurrence
Is calculated to discourage drunken
ness IN the German army, so the evil
Is not altogether without its com
pensation.

saw GU1TEAU HANGED.
A Butte Man Tells the Story of the
Execution of GarAeld's Murderer.

(Butte Miner.)
At time Ike this, when the nation
is mourning the loss of its chief exec
utive, the thoughts of many are turned
back TO that time When President
James A Garfield met his death in a
manner differing little il any from that
in which William Mckinley was so
toulty assassinated. Every student of
history can easily recall the circum-
stances surrounding GarfieId's assassi-
nation, and there is one man at least
IN Butte who was present at the exc
.cution Of Guiteau, the assassin.
John B. Hyland was talking with
party of friends last night about the
death of Mckinley. II would like to
be present and see that man who shot
him hanged remarked one of the
party. 1T would be one of the most
pleasurable experiences I ever had. 1
think, This brought up the subject
of Garheld's death and the execution
Of his assassin. One Of the party knew
that Mr.. Hyland had been present at
Guiteau's hanging and called for the
story.
It seems that Mr. Hyland was one of
very few who were permitted to wit
ness the execution. He was a young
man, almost boy, at the time, and
had been IN Washington but a compar-
atively short period. He knew the
foreman Of the jury which convicted
Guiteau, and remarked one day. with
out thinking, that he would like to see
the execution. The foreman asked
him il he really meant what he said.
and on Mr. Hyland's informing him
that he did said he guessed he could
fix It.
There were very few people allowed
to witness the hanging, among these
being the members of she jury and a
few invited guests. The foreman was
as good as his word, and Mr.. Hyland
was admitted to the jail TO witness the
execution. Although the crowd in the
jail was small, the multitude outside
was enormous. Washington was sim
ply crazy. and if the assassin had ever
fallen into their hands he would have
Teen torn to pieces. The jail was sur
rounded by a restless. surging sea of
humanity. awaiting the sigma. the
dropping Of a flag from the staff ON
the jail roof, which would tell tho
world that the drop had fallen.
Guiteau, the disappointed office
seeker and assassin. went to his death
without word of repentance. but
rather with bearing of triumph. He

REPUBLICANS AS REFoRMERs.

! 4 QUAINT STUDY in reform is
| "A presented by the municipal

York and Philadelphia. Nothing
more aptly illustrates the situation
than the statement that Republicans
are reformers when they have Demo
Gratis to reform" Tammany has
been overthrown in New York. vet
Tammany at it, worst was never the
stencil in he noshils of honest voters
that the Republican machine in Phil
adelphia was and Is. In Philadelphia
the machine triumphed; in New York
it was smashed.
The difference was that the Demo-
Gratis controlled New York and the
Republicans became ''reformers."
The credit of the worlds second city
had never been impaired; in many
ways the administration was fair,
but it may as well be admitted that
it was not as good as it should have
been. Independent Democrats joined
hands with the Republican reform
ers."
The fight was long and hard and
bitter, but Mr. Low, an eminent citi-
zen and a courageous, upright man,
was elected mayor. With him were
swept into Office all the other candi-
dates of the reform movement. They
were aided by almost every news
paper in the city, and their victory
was well earned. Turn now from
New York to Philadelphia, where for
years the Quay machine has ruled
and ruined.
There, within the last few months,
in open defiance of public opinion,
Mr.. Quay's council, aided by Mr..
Quay's mayor, deliberately presented
to favored individuals franchises for
which John Wanamaker had Of
fered the city $2,500.000. The credit
of Philadelphia has become impaired
under machine Republican rule. All
kinds Ct vice and crime flourish I'M

ton of the gangsters.
Then came the reform movement
A few prominent Republicans Joined
with the Democrats and nominated
a ticket. They made great deal of
noise, but Mr.. Quay's people @deliv-
cred the goods. Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania are Quay's private
property today more than ever.

MR. eANNETT's THEORIES.

II EOPLE WHO HAVE been hug
ging TO their bosoms other be-
hefs viii be shocked at GER
tam theories advanced by Henry
Ganuett in a recent bulletin of the
American Geographical society. For
one thing, Mr.. Gannett denies fatty
that the presence u absence of for
ests. has anything to do with the
amount of rainfall.
The arid regions of the world, but
especially those around the Mediter-
ranean sea, have been held up as
examples Of the folly of destroying
forests. Mr.. Gannett believes that
the absence of forests in these places
Is not the cause, but the result of the
deserts. It IS his assertion that the
noR-productive territory has always
been non-produetive, and declares
it IS impossible to show a spot where
the cutting away of timber has les
sened the rainfall.
Another belief which Mr.. Gannett
holds to be inaccurate is that the
river foods in receaC years have been
heavier tlan ever before, as a result
Of forest demolition. He shows that
where forests have been cut down a
growth of bushes springs up which
holds the water back just as efFec-
lively as the trees. The Ohio river Is
cited as an example to show that
foods have not increased Careful
measurements, Mr.. Gannett says,
show very little change from the
foods Of years ago.
Concluding his paper, the writer
coRtradicts the firm belief that coast
climates are influenced by ocean cur
rents The accepted theory Is based
on the belief that great bodies of
water flow uninterruptedIy in the
oceans for thousands of miles. Mr.
Gannett states that these currents
lose az Of their velocity long before
they reach their supposed destina-
tions, and attributes the variations in
climate to the prevailing winds in
the respective localities.
